Chapter 745
College life is fulfilling and fun. In addition to attending classes, there are many activities to participate in, such as attending lectures, watching movies, attending dances, etc.
Every weekend, the bulletin board is always crowded with people, and posters of various club activities are colorful.
After arriving at school, Jiayin still often took her to exercise. Now her physical fitness is much better than before, and the 800 meters in physical education class is no problem for her.
She even began to enjoy the feeling of the wind blowing past her ears and the sweat running down her cheeks while running.
This semester, I was also invited to participate in several small mountain climbing activities organized by the Mountain Eagle Society. It is indeed very comfortable to go on an outing occasionally. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking into the distance while sweating profusely can broaden my mind a lot.
Ever since He Rong taught her to dance, several girls in her dormitory have attended a dance party every month.
At the last dance before summer vacation, which was also the graduation dance, she met the classmate who had invited her to dance before but failed.
The tall and straight young man stood out in the crowd.
"Classmate, can I ask you to dance with me?" He bowed slightly and stretched out his slender and clean hand.
Su Miao gently placed her hand on his palm: "It's an honor."
This time, she was finally able to accept the invitation calmly.
They slid onto the dance floor to the melody of "The Blue Danube". His steps were steady and graceful, and he spun her with just the right amount of force.
During the conversation, I found out that he was a senior of Onishi in the Department of International Politics and was about to graduate.
After dancing to three songs in a row, and seeing that Su Miao was sweating slightly, he gentlemanly escorted Su Miao back to his seat.
"Su Miao, thank you for dancing with me for my last dance in college. I wish you academic success and hope to see you again in the future."
"Senior Gu Cheng, I also wish you a bright future."
Su Miao returned to her roommates and was surrounded by them, winking at her.
He Rong pulled her to her seat, and the girls' heads gathered together.
"What's wrong? Is your eye cramping?" Su Miao pretended to be stupid and took a sip of the Arctic Ocean.
Xiaojie nudged Su Miao gently with her elbow and asked:
"Miao Miao~ What did Senior Gu Cheng say to you? We saw you guys dancing and chatting non-stop."
"Nothing, just some normal small talk."
Wang Yingtong immediately responded, "Senior Gu Cheng is a well-known figure on campus. He has outstanding looks, excellent character and academic performance, and his family has several diplomats."
He Rong showed an expression of admiration: "No wonder he is from the Department of International Politics. It turns out he is inheriting the mantle. That's amazing. Miaomiao, didn't you exchange contact information with the senior?
It’s good to have a pen pal. By being around excellent people, we can become even better.”
Su Miao shook her head, her long hair swaying gently as she moved. "That's not necessary. We don't usually interact much, and I think this would be too abrupt. Anyway, we'll meet again if we're destined to."
Meng Linlin sighed exaggeratedly: "Ah~ It really is our little friend Miaomiao who has a heart sealed in cement."
This summer vacation, Su Miao will postpone his plan to return to Nancheng.
Because the Grey family is about to be invited to visit the capital, at Mrs. Grey's request, the higher-ups contacted Su Miao, hoping that she could meet with the Grey family at that time.
When the Gray family arrived, comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Cultural Bureau found her and needed to confirm some details of the meeting with her, such as the time, place, and main content of the conversation.
The tone of the other party on the phone was very formal, yet friendly: "Student Su, this meeting is very important. We need to discuss some precautions with you in advance."
Su Miao understood very well. After all, this was led by the higher-ups and was a very formal diplomatic activity, so what could and could not be said had to be made clear.
By then, there will be not only domestic reporters, but also foreign media following up on the reports. Now is the time for the country to make its mark internationally, and no negative information can be spread.
The two comrades were very easy-going and said that in order not to waste Su Miao's time, they could arrange to have their conversation at her home and they would just come over.
Su Miao breathed a sigh of relief. She was worried about going to an unfamiliar government agency and felt nervous.
So, on the morning of the next day, they came to the Su family's West Courtyard.
The morning sunlight slanted through the old locust tree in the western courtyard, casting mottled light and shadows on the blue brick ground. It was still early and the temperature had not yet risen.
Su Miao got up early, cleaned up the main room, and filled the fruit plate with fruits and sugar cakes. He couldn't be rude to the guests coming today.
The most important thing in hospitality is sincerity, but the skill lies in the details.
She deliberately changed into a knee-length dress. The light green dress made her already fair complexion look a little glowy.
Her hair was tied into a neat ponytail, and she wore no jewelry except for the small Osmanthus brand watch given by Wang Xin's mother. She looked both student-like and generous and decent.
At ten o'clock, there was a knock on the door.
Su Miao walked quickly across the courtyard and opened the door to welcome the guests.
There were two visitors who looked like cadres standing outside the door. One was a man in his early teens, with an elegant temperament and carrying a briefcase.
The other was a female cadre in her early thirties, smiling kindly at her.
She had her long hair tied up behind her head, and wore a navy blue suit with a pair of neat pearl earrings. Her facial features were very regular, and she looked very capable.
"Excuse me, is this Su Miao? I'm Wang Ming from the Protocol Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and this is Director Qin Xue from the International Exchange Office of the Cultural Bureau." The man's voice was gentle and polite.
"Hello, leaders. I am Su Miao. Please come in."
Su Miao stepped aside to make way and noticed that Qin Xue's gaze had passed her and fell on the courtyard behind the screen wall.
When she walked into the yard, Qin Xue's pace slowed down significantly.
Her gaze lingered on the colorful paintings under the eaves, the ice cracks on the window frames, and the stone fish tank in the courtyard, with eager light flashing in her eyes.
Qin Xue suddenly spoke in a clear voice:
"This western courtyard house is incredibly well-preserved! Looking at the beam structure, it's from at least the late Qing Dynasty. The carvings and the herringbone pattern on the floor tiles are all authentic examples of traditional craftsmanship!"
"Director Qin, my father bought this courtyard from two teachers last year. They really cherished the house, so they were able to preserve these antique items."
Wang Ming smiled and said, "Don't be surprised, Mr. Su. Director Qin is a fan of traditional culture and is dedicated to the dissemination and protection of traditional culture.
Her house is a large courtyard house with a large collection of artifacts, like a small museum. You're studying archaeology, so maybe you two could have a lot in common."
Communication can only be a later matter, now we have to deal with the business first.
In the main room, Su Miao had already prepared tea.
Wang Ming took out a document from his briefcase and went straight to the point:
"Mr. Su, we need to confirm a few details regarding the arrangements for the meeting with the Gray family."
