Time passed, and after everyone disembarked from the plane, the teacher in charge led them directly to Erling University.
Along the way, Yu Qi was excited but also a little timid. "So this is what the streets of the United States look like. They are quite different from those in China."
There are similarities and differences, the biggest difference being the surrounding architecture, which has a European style, luxurious yet not vulgar.
The faces of the people here, in a place where everyone looks Western, still feel a bit out of place.
but……
"Qiqi, why are there so many homeless people on the street? Doesn't the government care?"
Although they still exist in China, their numbers have decreased significantly in recent years, and they are no longer seen in first- and second-tier cities.
But here, why are there homeless people everywhere? And the cleanliness of the ground is really incomparable to that in China.
Qi Jiu smiled, seemingly used to the scene before her. "It's different abroad than in China. People in China like to save money, and their life goal seems to be buying a car and a house."
As the sunlight streamed in, the girl squinted.
"But abroad, don't be fooled by how pathetic these homeless people are now. A few years ago, they might have been CEOs of listed companies in the US. They don't have the habit of saving money, and bankruptcy could happen in the blink of an eye. That's why there are so many homeless people on the streets, and the government doesn't care."
An Ran nodded. "Although the United States is open, it still falls short in many aspects."
"I see." Yu Qi nodded, indicating that she understood.
Seeing so many homeless people on the street, I was momentarily taken aback.
Seeing the expression on her face, Qi Jiu smiled. "This is still alright. Further south, near the border, there's a slum. Just one look at it will make you understand what human suffering is."
"Slums?" Yu Qi was taken aback. She had only seen these three words in novels. "Idol, have you been there?"
The girl smiled but did not answer the question.
"Alright everyone, don't fall behind!"
The teacher leading the group looked at the few people behind him, and together with the reception staff from Erling University, led the ten people behind him toward Erling University.
Finally, I saw the so-called Erlin University, with its tall gates and buildings that were immediately visible inside.
And the boys and girls laughing and joking around inside, their Western faces made their features look very deep and charming.
The scene was absolutely beautiful, brimming with youthful energy.
The sudden appearance of a group of people with Asian features drew the attention of many students. Amidst the laughter and chatter, many eyes were drawn to them.
"Although, well, these foreigners really do have beautiful, deep-set features."
Yu Qi cautiously looked at the faces of the students around her, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.
"I don't like what you're saying. My features may not be deep-set, but my face isn't bad either, is it?"
Chang Xiaoyuan touched his chin and gave Yu Qi a rather affected wink.
Yu Qi: "..." What kind of stunning beauty is this?
Take them away! Take them away!
But no matter what, there are still some differences between the handsomeness of Easterners and the handsomeness of Westerners.
"What? How can we accept this?" The teacher leading the group looked surprised, as if she had just heard something.
Looking at the Erlin University receptionist, the team leader couldn't suppress the smile on his face and quickly turned around to tell the students behind him the good news.
"Dear students, you may need to wait here for a moment. The vice president of Erlin University heard that we were coming and is on his way now."
"Vice Principal?"
Chang Xiaoyuan was taken aback. "I saw that the previous teams all went straight in. We get this treatment too?"
It's true that China is very powerful now, but the team in front is from Country Y. Their economic strength is comparable to China's. They have treatment that Country Y doesn't have.
Or is it that... this vice principal treats them differently?
An Ran lowered her eyes, seemingly lost in thought, then suddenly looked up at Qi Jiu. "Your Xingyue didn't donate a building to Erlin University, did you?"
It seems reasonable for the sponsors to come out and greet them since they are here.
As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Jiu felt a 'whoosh' and the eyes of several people around her were all on her.
Qi Jiu: "..."
Although Star Moon is a multinational corporation, it doesn't have Star Moon stores everywhere, okay?
"Dude, rein in your wild imagination."
An Ran scratched her head. "Huh? Isn't that right? Then I really can't think of any reason why the vice principal would come to greet me personally."
They were all ordinary students, except for Qi Jiu. Now, all speculation could only be directed at Qi Jiu.
The girl smiled but didn't say anything.
As time went by, more and more students gathered around them, and everyone seemed to be watching them with great interest.
That look was like he was looking at...an alien?
But the observant An Ran still felt something was off. "Qiqi, were they just pointing at you? Were they talking about you? Or did they recognize you? After all, don't you have several international identities?"
The girl turned her head and shook it. "No, I didn't see it."
A short while later, the so-called vice principal appeared. He had a Western face, wore small glasses, and had a long beard. At this moment, his eyes were practically closed from smiling.
He feigned surprise when he saw Qi Jiu.
"Hey! Isn't this Star Moon's BOSS? Please forgive us for not being a good host when you come to our Erlin University."
The vice principal stepped forward, grabbed the girl's hand, and gave her a kiss on the hand.
Seeing his actions, the people around him were stunned, and even more confused by what he said.
"No, I didn't mishear. I remember learning this foreign language, and I was quite good at it. Why don't I understand what you're saying now?"
Looking at the identical expressions on the faces of the people around him, Chang Xiaoyuan became even more certain of his thoughts.
Even the teacher leading the team was a bit confused.
The protagonist smiled modestly. "I'm just a student this time, Vice Principal, you don't need to be so polite."
Hearing that she didn't deny it, the people around her understood.
While watching her talk to the vice principal, they processed the news internally. Finally, when Qi Jiu had a moment to spare, the group quickly pulled her aside.
"You're the boss of Xingyue? Aren't you the representative of China?"
For the first time, Yu Qi felt unworthy of being other people's friends. Xingyue's boss, an international designer, a composer, a pharmacist... what did they do to deserve this?
She tried her best to suppress her excited voice; if there weren't so many people around, she probably would have shouted it out!
