Fortunately, Yan Xiaonan has several courtyard houses, but in the end, it was decided to place the exchange student in the Southeast area. On the one hand, the two-courtyard house in the Southeast is very unique, with a hutong (alley) that is nearly forty meters long.
There is also the now extremely famous Liu Jin living there. Although Liu Jin doesn't come home often, the entire west wing of the outer courtyard is prepared for him.
All that was needed was to tidy up the three outbuildings in the outer courtyard and add some daily necessities and school supplies. Yan Xiaonan also bought two mountain bikes and a full set of protective equipment.
That's for the convenience of exchange students going to and from get out of class. Besides, bicycles are needed on campus; otherwise, relying solely on two legs would definitely give people a heart attack.
The scholar received ten applications from Xia Guo that same day. After much consideration, he removed two. If Ye Tianru and Ye Yushu were added, that would be twelve. With so many children to exchange, they were worried about potential problems.
The two students who were eliminated actually came from very wealthy families, but their academic performance was the worst among the twelve. After being discouraged, they were determined to work hard and improve. Even if they couldn't catch up with the two prodigies, they still had a chance to catch up with the others.
The parents of the two children never expected that a small setback would help their children grow. They were very grateful to the principal and Ye Chenming. If it weren't for their kindness, the children would still be complacent and unable to see their weaknesses.
January is the New Year for foreigners, but the New Year for the Xia people is in early February. Tianru and Yushu did not want to waste more than a month, so they prepared to set off.
Ten college students were put on the plane. Their parents unanimously asked their children to take good care of Tianru and Yushu, since the children were still just teenagers.
Yan Xiaonan thanked him repeatedly, saying that it was only right to help each other when traveling. Bei Nan, who was seeing him off, rolled her eyes, thinking that it would be hard to say who would help whom later.
Ability isn't determined by age, and fighting prowess isn't based on height. Even four of Bei Nan's kids together couldn't beat Nan Nan's two children. That's just Bei Nan's self-righteousness. If Tian Ru knew, she'd definitely laugh.
The Cambridge students have already boarded the plane. The exchange student families from Xia are all studying the materials, memorizing the students' preferences and arrival times. If they take good care of these students, their own children will have an easier time.
Yan Xiaonan brought the two blond, blue-eyed children to Southeast China. When they saw the two dark gates of the house, they suddenly remembered the dragon the principal had mentioned.
Pushing open the gate, they immediately saw a magnificent animal carved on the huge screen wall. They had never seen this animal before, so Yan Xiaonan told them that it was a Qilin.
The stone tables and chairs, jujube trees, pond, and rockery in the courtyard amazed the two children. Looking at the red carved beams and painted rafters, they felt that this exchange was extremely valuable.
"Auntie, can we take pictures?" the exchange student asked.
Yan Xiaonan glanced at Xue Mei, who nodded repeatedly. It's just taking a picture; there's no secret involved.
In an instant, the flashes of cameras went off frequently. They unknowingly walked into Liu Jin's west wing. When they saw the photo wall in the west wing and the posters of several films that Liu Jin had shot in the United States, they suddenly remembered those movies.
That was an actor they and their whole family really liked. They didn't expect this family to like this man too. It seems they have something in common.
When they finally learned that this was the home of the famous actor, and his room, the two of them were so excited that they almost cried. They took a bunch of pictures of the photo wall and even asked Yan Xiaonan for help, because they wanted to take pictures standing in the room.
Yan Xiaonan understood the young fan's perspective perfectly. Besides, Liu Jin truly deserved such affection, so she simply let loose and filmed everything: the cup Liu Jin used, the bed Liu Jin slept in, Liu Jin...
They couldn't wait to tell their parents and teachers back home the good news, and of course, their classmates, making them feel bittersweet and envious.
Yan Xiaonan, however, earnestly reminded them that if they wanted to reveal Liu Jin's address and his lifestyle, they had to get Liu Jin's consent, otherwise the two of them might get into an international lawsuit.
They were both bright college students who understood things quickly, so even though they were very excited, they didn't dare to speak casually. Fu Bao quickly led them to his room, and the two of them were very satisfied with the spacious and bright room.
Before they knew it, it was summer of 1997. The year-long exchange program was coming to an end. The two children living in Southeast Asia hugged Xue Mei and Fu Bao with teary eyes. They loved the two of them so much.
Liu Jin also promised to see them off when they left, but it had to be done secretly, otherwise they might not be able to move an inch. Also, Liu Jin's address must not be revealed, otherwise his parents and sister would not have a peaceful day.
Of the ten exchange students from Peking University, only Tianru and Yushu obtained MA degrees. The other eight students shook their heads in regret. In fact, when it comes to learning, in addition to hard work and luck, talent is also very important.
Yan Xiaonan has compiled a list of the family's businesses, clearly marking the scale, capabilities, and output value of each business, as well as the personality, hobbies, and abilities of the managers of each department.
Finally, Yan Xiaonan even revealed some of the future trends and development direction for the next twenty years. Tianru and Yushu listened with wide eyes, imagining how charming and fantastical the city would be after its rapid development.
Yu Shu joined the garment factory, and Tian Ru joined the film and television base. They will make changes to the existing factories and bases within a year to increase output.
This was also the topic they needed for their thesis. The two kids gritted their teeth and started from the bottom. Their true identities were revealed when some people in the garment factory and base felt that the company was illegally employing minors.
Whether they were new or old employees, everyone finally understood why the Ye family was so outstanding. While their own children were still playing marbles and skipping rope on the ground, the Ye family's children had already graduated from elementary school.
While their children were still chasing and playing in the alley, the Ye family's children were already reading foreign language forums. Now, while their children are still struggling for the high school entrance exam, the Ye family's children have already graduated from university and come here to experience life.
Everyone is starting to value children's education. You can't choose where you're born, because that's innate, but you can still change your future life, so you absolutely can't let your child lose at the starting line.
