Chen Jie muttered to herself in a daze, "She is so beautiful!"
Su Nan was stunned for a moment, then stopped and said, "Actually, you're not bad either."
The two took the bus to Huaqing University. After Chen Jie changed her clothes, she washed the clothes she had just worn and then went to bed to rest.
Su Nan knew that Chen Jie was upset, so he didn't disturb her.
From that day on, Chen Jie seemed like a different person. She studied harder than before and read an English dictionary all day long, for fear that the knowledge she had learned would not be enough to deal with foreign visitors.
Three days later, the group of blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners came to visit Huaqing University as scheduled.
In order to welcome this day, Su Nan and Chen Jie got up before dawn and started to make preparations. Chen Jie was busy reciting the speech she had prepared last night, and Su Nan was busy putting makeup on her and doing her hairstyle.
At around eight o'clock in the morning, Su Nan helped Chen Jie clean up. She let out a long sigh, "It's done. Take a look."
Chen Jie stood up and stood in front of the mirror. She looked at her refreshed self and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "You're so beautiful! You have such a skillful hand. I can't do that."
Although she had studied makeup with Su Nan for a period of time, her level was nothing compared to Su Nan's.
Su Nan patted Chen Jie's shoulder and said, "It's not that you can't do it, it's that you don't have the time to learn makeup. If you want to succeed, you must also set aside time to enrich yourself."
Chen Jie nodded: "Yes! You make sense. After I finish my work today, I will go to your shop to learn makeup with Feng Meng."
Su Nan smiled without saying anything, thinking: With your personality, you will definitely fish for three days and dry the net for two days.
Seeing her like this, Chen Jie knew that she definitely didn't believe in herself. In fact, even she herself didn't know how long she could hold on this time.
At 9:30 in the morning, Chen Jie and school leaders stood at the school gate and lined up to welcome international friends.
Several blond-haired, blue-eyed foreign teachers arrived at the gate of Huaqing University. The president stepped forward and shook hands with them one by one: "Welcome everyone to study at Huaqing University."
"Thank you very much, my friend."
The principal and several other school leaders enthusiastically took a few foreigners on a tour of the campus. Chen Jie stayed with them throughout the whole process and accurately translated every word the foreign friends said to the school leaders.
The translator from the British school was not a native Chinese, and sometimes there would be small deviations in the translation process. After listening to him, Chen Jie would occasionally whisper reminders and corrections.
This made the foreign teachers very surprised. They wondered how the Chinese students were taught to not only understand English but also speak it fluently. In comparison, the translator they brought with them was simply an embarrassment to them.
At this point, the foreign teacher couldn't help but roll his eyes at his translator, then awkwardly explained, "I'm so sorry, my friends. We came in a hurry, and the translator we brought with us isn't a native Chinese, so this happened. I'm so sorry."
Chen Jie conveyed the foreign teacher's apology to the school principal. The principal's face froze for a moment, then he smiled and said, "It's okay. Our Chinese culture has a long and profound history, and it's not something that can be mastered overnight."
After hearing what the principal said, the foreign translator blushed with embarrassment and was unable to utter a word. After listening to the principal's long speech, the foreign teachers all looked at each other in confusion, and no one understood what he was talking about.
Chen Jie smiled faintly and explained the meaning of the principal's words to the foreign teachers, and everyone nodded in understanding.
The foreign teachers spent nearly an hour and a half touring Huaqing University. Before leaving, one of the female teachers expressed her gratitude in very broken Chinese: "Thank you for letting us know and understand China."
Then he turned to look at Chen Jie and gave her a thumbs up: "Chinese students, very cool!"
Chen Jie smiled slightly: "Ma'am, you are too kind."
The foreign teachers left the campus only after having lunch in the cafeteria of Huaqing University. Before leaving, they took photos with the school leaders and Chen Jie respectively. The tense and busy half day passed by in a hurry.
When Chen Jie returned to the dormitory, she felt like she was still in a dream. Su Nan hurried over to support her and asked, "Chen Jie, how are you? Does it feel good to be the focus of the whole school?"
Chen Jie shook her head. "No, I was so nervous that I didn't even bother looking around. The translator looked as if he wanted to eat me."
"Ah?" Su Nan asked doubtfully, "What's the reason?"
"He is not good at Chinese, so I helped explain twice. Maybe he felt it was too embarrassing?" After Chen Jie briefly explained twice, Su Nan suddenly looked at her with shining eyes.
Chen Jie shuddered. What was this guy doing? Her eyes were too creepy!
"Chen Jie, your performance this time is so amazing and outstanding. How come I didn't see that your performance was so great before?" Su Nan said excitedly while pulling Chen Jie's hand.
Chen Jie yawned and said awkwardly, "I'm so sleepy. Nan Nan, don't startle me. I'm going to sleep for a while."
Su Nan knew that Chen Jie hadn't slept much in the past few days because of preparing for this matter. Now that the dust has settled, she naturally wants to have a good sleep.
Chen Jie slept until nine o'clock the next morning. What she didn't expect was that when she woke up, she had become a celebrity in the school, and her photo was posted on the school's wall of glory.
As Chen Jie walked out of the dormitory, she saw Yang Shuzhen holding a paper bag. She said with a somewhat uneasy smile, "Congratulations, Chen Jie. This is a gift for you. I was wrong about what happened before. Can you please forgive me?"
Chen Jie waved her hands hurriedly: "Thank you for your kindness, but I really can't accept your things. I have never hated you, so how can I forgive you?"
Yang Shuzhen thought she was forgiving her, and was about to hold her hand, but she dodged away.
Chen Jie thought a little uncomfortably: She no longer hated her, but that didn't mean she was still willing to be friends with someone like Yang Shuzhen who was pretentious and always made trouble out of nothing.
Yang Shuzhen was stunned and continued to pretend to be pitiful: "You just said you didn't hate me, why are you doing this to me now?"
Damn Chen Jie, don’t think that you can be so arrogant just because you’ve become a celebrity in the school. Just wait, sooner or later I will make you cry and beg me to forgive you.
"We are not the same kind of people. We have different ideals and cannot work together." Chen Jie threw the thing aside and headed straight towards the teaching building.
