The three of them found a place to eat. During the meal, they talked about their recent situation. Su Qingyun and Ji Yue had special jobs, so there were many things they were not convenient to talk about. But Xia Qiu was different. She had been alone in Gangcheng for so long and didn't have many friends to talk to. She couldn't hold it in any longer and told him everything about her situation like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
"It sounds like you are living well in Hong Kong City." Su Qingyun said with a smile.
It is not easy for Xia Qiu to participate in a fashion design competition, win a prize, go abroad with the design director of a clothing company, and have her own designed clothes appear on the runway. I think her days in Hong Kong are also very fulfilling.
"It's really good." Xia Qiu thought, feeling a little emotional. "Although studying was very difficult when I first arrived and the environment was unfamiliar, after getting through it, I found that it's not that bad."
"Yunyun, you were right. Only by going to Hongcheng can I learn more and have more opportunities." Xia Qiu said excitedly, "I'm really glad that I listened to you and chose this path. Thank you for always pointing me in the right direction."
If she had stayed in Beijing, she might have just lived a mediocre life. How could she be living like she is now? Competing, traveling abroad, modeling, living such a wonderful and fulfilling life?
"Even now that I'm here, I still need you to clean up this mess for me." Xia Qiu said with some shame.
"This is also a coincidence." Su Qingyun said with a smile, "I didn't expect that we would meet in a foreign country."
"Regarding what happened today, regardless of whether I know you or not, and regardless of who you are, I will not stand idly by. I also believe in you. Even without me, you can handle this matter well." Su Qingyun said seriously, "I don't think you did anything wrong, or that you were too impulsive. Some things can be tolerated, but some things are absolutely intolerable."
When it comes to personal matters, you may be able to swallow your anger, but when it comes to the honor and disgrace of the country, you must never remain silent.
"Some things need to be spoken out so that these foreigners can see our attitude. Otherwise, they will really think we are easy to bully." Su Qingyun looked at Xia Qiu and said with a smile, "Qiuqiu, you are a person who can distinguish right from wrong. You did nothing wrong."
Xia Qiu was stunned for a moment, and a feeling of emotion welled up in his heart.
She was just wondering, if Qingyun hadn't been there today, would she still be able to escape unscathed and find a solution? Would she regret her actions?
But now, Xia Qiu has figured it out. No matter if there is anyone standing by her side today, she will not tolerate Sabrina's behavior. Even if her clothes cannot be shown on the runway today, even if she is really held accountable, she will not regret it.
"Thank you, Yunyun." Xia Qiu said seriously again.
With Qingyun by her side, she felt very at ease, but she also had to be able to stand on her own feet even when she left Qingyun. This was something she had to grow into.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Hurry up and eat." Su Qingyun called her, "You still have to go back later."
"Okay." Xia Qiu nodded, "What about you guys?"
"We'll be back at the hotel soon. We were just out for a quick stroll and didn't expect to run into you." Su Qingyun explained, "We're flying to Helvetia tomorrow."
"Then I don't know when we will meet next time." Xia Qiu looked a little reluctant when he heard this.
"It doesn't matter. Mountains and rivers bring encounters. Moreover, we can meet in this foreign country. Are you afraid that we won't have the chance to meet again in the future?"
"You're right." Xia Qiu smiled and raised his water glass. "Then let's each work hard. I look forward to seeing you again!"
Su Qingyun also smiled, raised his glass, and said the same thing as her, "Work hard on yourselves, and look forward to seeing you again!"
Ji Yue also raised his glass in cooperation.
The cups clinked together, making a crisp sound, which sounded very much like the sound of their youth, and also like the sound of their ideals and efforts colliding with each other.
After dinner, the three of them were about to separate.
Xia Qiu hugged Su Qingyun reluctantly, then looked at Ji Yue, "Ji Yue, you must take good care of Yunyun."
"Yeah." Ji Yue nodded.
"Let's go quickly and don't let others worry." Su Qingyun said with a smile.
"good."
Xia Qiu left, looking back every few steps.
"Let's go back to the hotel." Su Qingyun said, "If we don't go back now, Mr. Huang and the others will probably come out to look for us."
"Um."
When the two returned to the hotel, they ran into Huang Zuoyi and his two companions who were in a hurry to go out. When they saw the two young men coming back, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Qingyun, Ayue, where have you two been? You haven't come back yet. We can't wait any longer and are about to go out to look for you." Chen Shouchun said.
"I'm sorry everyone, we just encountered a little emergency." Su Qingyun apologized sincerely.
"As long as you're okay," Huang Zuoyi nodded. "I was just worried that you might be unfamiliar with the place and something might happen. I hope you're back."
"What happened?" asked Chief Engineer Wang.
Su Qingyun and Ji Yue looked at each other and briefly explained the situation in a few words.
All three of them were silent.
Chen Shouchun sighed and said, "This situation is not uncommon abroad. Foreigners' prejudice and discrimination against us have always existed."
As they said, models in a small fashion show can speak so arrogantly and look down on China, which shows how deep the prejudice against China is abroad.
"It doesn't matter. Aren't we here to break down prejudices?" Huang Zuoyi said with a smile. "Precisely because of this situation, we should work harder, speak with facts, and prove with strength that China is a country that cannot be underestimated."
"Mr. Huang is right," Chief Engineer Wang said solemnly. "The more the foreigners look down on us, the more we must shock them and let them know that we are no longer the humble people of Wu. Compared to those days of decline, China today is a completely different place."
Chen Shouchun looked at Su Qingyun and said with a smile, "Qingyun, do you feel that as the main spokesperson, you are under more pressure?"
"A little bit indeed." Su Qingyun nodded with a smile, "But the greater the pressure, the greater the motivation. I like the terms 'bottoming out and rebounding' and 'first downfall before rising'."
"It's a good thing to have confidence!" Huang Zuoyi said with a smile on his face.
"It's getting late. Let's go back to our room and get some rest. We have to get up early to catch our flight tomorrow."
"Okay, you guys should get some rest early too."
Su Qingyun and Ji Yue returned to the room. After washing up, they looked at the night view outside the window.
Lutetia at night is a completely different scene, but it is just as beautiful as during the day.
Su Qingyun thought about the capital city many years later. It would be a truly powerful and prosperous city with a new look. It should not be underestimated.
