Chapter 597: No shortage of money
Liu Lan was stunned for a moment. She didn't think Xiong Jie had any other intentions towards her. When Tang Tu liked her before, the feeling he gave her was very clear, but Xiong Jie didn't make her feel that way.
She said to Yu Zhan, "You misunderstood. Xiong Jie is my classmate and he also took the Kaishu class. He helped me out a lot and I happened to have some professional questions to ask him."
Yu Zhan smiled noncommittally and said, "A man's intuition is never wrong."
The boy's eyes were shining when he looked at Liu Lan, but when Liu Lan looked at him, he carefully restrained his admiration and seemed a little humble. Maybe this is what ordinary boys look like when they look up to their goddesses.
Yu Zhan did not take this "rival in love" seriously. He had no competitiveness and was not good enough to be his opponent. He told Liu Lan these things just hoping that she would pay a little attention to the distance between herself and her classmates and not leave them with unnecessary fantasies.
Liu Lan also realized this. After she became a modern person, the concept of gender separation became increasingly weak, especially after she had a boyfriend, Yu Zhan. She felt that the opposite sex could also be friends, such as Jiang Chengfeng, Ye Ziliang, and other male classmates in the class. She treated everyone equally. Perhaps her friendly attitude caused Xiong Jie to misunderstand.
She promised Yu Zhan, "I will keep my distance from him in the future."
Yu Zhan achieved his goal and stopped worrying about this issue. He took her hand and walked towards Liu Lan's rental house.
"Oh, by the way, I need to call Xiaoru," Liu Lan remembered the important matter.
...
...
"What's wrong?"
"She said she was selected by the school to be an exchange student at Juilliard."
Yu Zhan understood, "It seems that Mr. Martin admires her very much."
Martin did not tell Yu Zhan about the exchange student, but Yu Zhan could guess his and the Capital Conservatory of Music's intentions. Seeing that Liu Lan was happier than the person involved, he felt that their decision was wise.
"That's for sure. Xiaoru's grades are always among the best," Liu Lan didn't think too deeply about it. She thought that Li Xiaoru really impressed Mr. Martin with her own abilities. Little did she know that without her, Li Xiaoru might be no different from other students now and would be unknown in school.
It is true that Li Xiaoru is capable and talented, but there are not many people as capable and talented as her. At this time, what plays a key role is her network background.
In front of Yu Zhan, Liu Lan called Li Xiaoru and asked her about the details.
Li Xiaoru trusted Liu Lan very much and told her everything, including the expensive tuition fees and the amount of money she and her family could raise.
"That means you are still short of 400,000 yuan."
"With the reimbursement from the school and the upcoming national scholarship, I have enough money for the time being. After I arrive in the United States, I will find a part-time job and work-study, which should be enough to earn living expenses."
"You are going abroad for the first time. You are new here. You don't know anyone in a foreign country. How can you find a suitable job right away?" Liu Lan didn't think it was a good idea to earn money by doing odd jobs. The students in Juilliard's piano department must be geniuses from all over the world. Li Xiaoru is outstanding in China, but if she goes to a place where geniuses gather, she will become ordinary. Besides, she looks indifferent on the surface, but she is still very competitive in her bones. You can tell from her serious attitude towards studying.
Liu said, "When you go to the United States, your top priority should be studying, not wasting time on odd jobs."
"I also know that if I were a rich girl like Sister Taozi, with no worries about food and clothing, I could study with peace of mind. But I am just an ordinary person. I spent 300,000 yuan on my parents at one time. I feel uneasy and guilty. I can't be so selfish and let my parents work hard all their lives," Li Xiaoru said in a heavy tone.
"But if you come back after completing your studies, the value you gain will definitely be far more than 300,000."
Liu Lan could understand Li Xiaoru's feelings. When she and her mother first took on a huge debt of 3 million, they also felt that 300,000 was a huge sum of money.
"Let's take it one step at a time. I'm going back to my hometown this weekend. I don't even have a passport. I need to go back to get the documents. I also have to go to the embassy next week to apply for a visa." There are too many things to do and Li Xiaoru is a little anxious.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Man was very worried about Li Xiaoru. Yu Zhan heard some of it nearby. He said, "The biggest expense for studying in New York is rent. If you save on food and drink, it won't cost much. I happen to have an apartment in Manhattan that I can lend to her. Anyway, it's only for a year, so it's empty anyway. This way, she doesn't have to work."
Liu Lan frowned slightly and asked, "What does your apartment look like?"
"It's similar to where I live now, also on the top floor, but a little bigger," Yu Zhan searched through the photo album on his phone for a long time but couldn't find any photos. However, he found advertising pictures of the same type of apartment on an American real estate agency website.
Liu Lan looked at these gorgeous and beautiful pictures.
