The campus of London University College is very large. After asking for directions, they walked for half an hour before finding the organizing committee office, which was located in an exquisite building.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Yu Qi knocked on the door politely.
"Please!" The person inside responded quickly.
Yu Qi and his team members pushed the door open and walked in. In the large office, there were several leather sofas and a few pots of green plants. Behind a desk sat a blond and blue-eyed man.
He looked to be no more than 30 years old, wearing a well-fitting suit, but unfortunately it couldn't cover his fat belly. His hair was combed sleekly, and he wore a pair of myopic glasses on his nose. He raised his head and looked at everyone, stunned.
?(ps: I won’t write in English anymore from now on. I’m tired and fell to the ground.jpg)
"You are..." The man raised his glasses and looked at them. In fact, he had already guessed their identities, but still said this deliberately.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. David?" Yu Qi asked calmly and politely.
"It's me." David's blue eyes flashed. He was a little surprised. How could these Chinese people be so patient?
However, when he thought about the Chinese people's past reputation and international status, a hint of disdainful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Sure enough, Chinese people are like this. They are used to swallowing their anger. When facing foreigners, they always feel inferior. No wonder so many people look down on them.
He was designated by the organizing committee of the mathematics competition to receive contestants from various countries. He had sent people to the airport to wait for contestants from other countries early on, but he deliberately did not send anyone to the Chinese team.
In his mind, Chinese mathematics was rubbish and was not worthy of participating in a competition like theirs. Even if they sent people, they would just participate.
It would be better for them to allocate these places to other countries. You know, there are many math experts in other countries who unfortunately missed this competition because they couldn't get a place to participate.
David felt that the competition quota should be used by people who needed him, rather than in the hands of a garbage team like the Chinese team.
So he deliberately did not send anyone to pick up the Chinese team at the airport, and even when they called, he deliberately gave a vague address just to make things difficult for them.
However, David didn't want to go too far. After he hung up the phone, Su Qingyun and the others had just left, so he called back. Unfortunately, no one answered.
While David was still wondering where these Chinese people had gone, he didn't expect them to come to him on their own.
David was fearless. He didn't think the Chinese team would be dissatisfied with his actions. It was good enough that he allowed them to come to the competition. If they wanted to find fault, no way!
David felt that he had found a good excuse, but he didn't expect Yu Qi's next words to make the smile on his face freeze.
"So you are the David who deliberately made trouble and didn't send anyone to pick us up at the airport, right?" Yu Qi's expression remained calm, but his words were questioning.
David's eyes widened. He hadn't expected this Chinese man to ask him so directly. Aren't Chinese people known for beating around the bush?
"What nonsense are you talking about?" David's expression remained calm as he refuted him. "I just said I was busy with something urgent. I called back later, but you guys didn't answer. How can you say I was deliberately picking on you?"
"Besides, aren't you all here already? It's okay." David glanced at their luggage and changed the subject, "I'll take you to the dormitory."
"Don't rush to the dormitory." Yu Qi is not a soft-hearted person and will not be fooled so easily.
"Mr. David, are you busy? So busy that you have to swallow multiple words while speaking? So busy that you don't have time to repeat the address? So busy that you don't have time to send someone to pick us up? So busy that you can only sit here and drink coffee?"
He looked at the coffee that was still smoking on David's table and questioned Sanlian with an expressionless face.
"What is the team leader saying?" Chen Ru scratched his head, looking confused.
English is so difficult. Is it always a long, crackling string of words?
Su Qingyun replied, "The team leader is looking for him to explain."
"What did you say?" Everyone looked at each other. They didn't know what had just happened on the phone.
Su Qingyun briefly explained it, and everyone immediately became angry when they heard it.
"What? They deliberately didn't come to pick us up?"
"This is outrageous! We are a participating team after all. How can you be so disrespectful to us?"
"I told you, for such a big event, there's not even a receptionist, and we were forced to take a bus here ourselves. This is simply too much! We must file a complaint!"
"Yes, complain! Complain to the organizing committee!"
Everyone looked angry and indignant. They were given a warning just after arriving. They were all young people full of vigor and easily impulsive. How could they swallow this?
Yu Qi actually thought that they were treated like this right after they arrived, and it was obvious that they were looked down upon. If they pretended nothing happened and swallowed their anger this time, they might do something even more excessive next time.
Therefore, they absolutely cannot tolerate it. Not only can they not tolerate it, they must also give an explanation and an account! They must know that China and its citizens today cannot be bullied!
Being bombarded with this series of questions, David's smile was a little hard to maintain. He forced a smile and explained.
"Mr. Yu, I was really busy just now. We're short-staffed here. Everyone else has been sent out to meet players from other national teams. There's really no one else available. I just got some free time and was just about to send someone to the airport to look for you."
Humans are creatures that bully the weak and fear the strong. If Yu Qi and the others were weak in attitude, David would only look down on them even more. But once they became tough in attitude, David would feel insecure and dare not treat them perfunctorily anymore.
"Is that really the case?" Yu Qi asked back. "I thought the organizing committee felt that Chinese people weren't worthy enough to participate."
Yu Qi's words directly shifted the focus of the matter from David to the entire competition organizing committee.
When David heard the organizing committee of the competition, he was shocked and spoke quickly.
"Of course not, Mr. Yu, why do you think so?" David's smile became even more forced, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead involuntarily.
"We welcome teams from all over the world. This was indeed a mistake on my part. I apologize."
When David said the last sentence, his tone was somewhat reluctant, and it was obvious that he was mentally ill and reluctant.
