Aunt Liu led them to the lounge.
Song Yan: "Aunt Liu, I wonder what these foreigners do? If I embarrass him in public, will there be any consequences?"
Aunt Liu: "They are foreign journalists. We need to understand the world, and we also need to let the world understand us."
Our initial intention in holding this get-together was to let these foreigners learn about our country.
I heard those guys are pretty arrogant. You've put them on their toes today; maybe they'll behave better in the future. It's not a bad thing.”
Shen Ruomei kept staring at Song Yan.
Song Yan: "You've been like this for ages, what's with that expression?"
"You speak Russian and English, and so fluently. You really are a sent-down youth from the countryside!" Shen Ruomei said, holding Song Yan's hand.
Aunt Liu was surprised that Song Yan could speak Russian, especially since she had danced very well earlier. Although she didn't know why her husband had asked Song Yan for something, she was certain that Song Yan was capable of accomplishing it.
Song Yan: "I'm a former educated youth who went to the countryside. Can you please stop making such a fuss?"
Aunt Liu felt a little relieved seeing how well they got along. This was her first time meeting Song Yan, but she had known his name for a while. She truly hadn't expected Song Yan to be so outstanding. Old Shen should be very pleased!
However, she needs to tell Lao Fang about Song Yan's English when she gets home. Although things have calmed down since the beginning of the year, it's still good to be on the safe side!
"Knock knock knock!" Before anyone inside could say "Come in," Su Rui opened the door and came in. "Hello, Aunt Liu!"
Two people followed in. "Hello, Aunt Liu!"
"Second Aunt!"
It was obvious that Aunt Liu was familiar with them as well.
"Hey! Shen Ruomei, you must be your classmate! Introduce her to us!" a young man said.
"Introduce me? How should I introduce you? I'll say, 'This is my college classmate.' And then I'll say, 'You were sent to the countryside as an educated youth and have now returned to the city. Are you unemployed now?'" Shen Ruomei seemed to know them very well.
"You heartless bastard, have you forgotten that I stood up for you when you were crying?" The young man called Aunt Liu his second aunt.
"They're so unserious. These two are Ruomei's classmates; her name is Song Yan, and her name is Hao Yinzhang."
These are all kids who grew up together in the same compound.
"This is Li Ming, this is Leng Zhaogang, and this is Su Rui," Aunt Liu introduced.
Song Yan: "Hello everyone!"
Hao Yinzhang just smiled.
"Song Yan, you really delivered that satisfying retort!" said Leng Zhaogang.
Shen Ruomei nudged Leng Zhaogang, who was very close to Song Yan. "Speak your mind, and stay away!"
“You’re doing this again! I know her; she’s all good and no bad. If she’s bullied, I, as her friend, will definitely stand up for her,” Leng Zhaogang said.
Li Ming: "Someone like you, who would dare ask you for help? Let's go!"
They were indeed curious about Song Yan; she had been quite charismatic when she was arguing with people earlier. Having met her was enough; with Aunt Liu around, they'd better hurry up and leave!
When Li Ming left, he mentioned that he would visit Shen Ruomei the next day. Shen Ruomei didn't take it to heart.
After the social gathering ended, Aunt Liu wanted the driver to take them home, but Su Rui and the others insisted on driving them.
Aunt Liu couldn't say it outright, but she told everyone to stop thinking about Song Yan. Not only is she married, she's already had a child.
…
On the way back, Li Ming and Leng Zhaogang clearly wanted to talk to Song Yan.
They escorted them all the way to their dormitory building.
Back in the dormitory, Hao Yinzhang finally opened up and told everyone about what had happened that night.
The eldest brother said foreigners were bad, while the second brother said Song Yan was amazing because he could speak English.
Anyway, they kept chattering until the lights went out.
Shen Ruomei quietly climbed onto Song Yan's bed. "Children who grow up in this compound are all a bit arrogant. If you don't meet their standards, they won't even bother with you."
Song Yan: "What are you trying to say?"
Shen Ruomei: "I think you've caught the eye of Li Ming and Leng Zhaogang."
To be honest, neither of them is as cunning as Suri.
They are all of very good character.
Song Yan: You don't need to comment on whether they're good or bad people. I'm not only married, but I also have a child. And I'm pregnant!
But Song Yan didn't say anything at the moment, because she was afraid of Shen Ruomei's screams late at night.
Secretary Fang told her to try to become Gu Yansong's assistant first. Song Yan guessed that Secretary Fang intended to intervene as little as possible, fearing that some people would discover that Secretary Fang and she were in contact.
Gu Yansong is very good at judging people by their status. Perhaps we could ask them for help to change Gu Yansong's attitude towards us.
Consider this a favor I owe; I can pay it back later.
They actually came back the next day. Song Yan's meaning was very clear: she had a lot of things to carry and couldn't go out.
Leng Zhaogang: "It's enough to study diligently in class; there's no need to go to such lengths after class!"
Are you looking down on us?
This young man is over twenty, yet he acts like a rebellious teenager of sixteen or seventeen.
Song Yan began to complain, "I offended my subject teacher."
He was just waiting for me to fail so he could use something against me.” As for how he offended the person, Song Yan told the truth.
"When will Duan Xueting be able to change?" Leng Zhaogang asked.
"Do you think I can go out and play? I think I'll just memorize my books. Ruomei, you guys go!" Song Yan said.
Shen Ruomei also complained: "That guy surnamed Gu keeps asking Fourth Sister questions, questions that we haven't learned yet."
What's even more disgusting is that he said he forgot something at the teaching and research group and asked his fourth sister to go get it. The teaching and research group is far from the classroom, and by the time his fourth sister returned, he had already taught half the lesson. In the next lesson, he asked his fourth sister questions about the parts she hadn't heard.
