Chapter 687: Something Different

Morning Star felt that it was a pity, and suggested that Li Sizhi fight again: "Alvin is so good, maybe his uncle and aunt will immediately change their views when they see him!"

Morning Star tried her best to encourage herself, Li Sizhi knew that she had good intentions, but the gap between her and Alvin was probably bigger than that between herself and Gong Youbo.

Alvin's family is a hereditary aristocrat in the United Kingdom, his father is a member of the British House of Lords, the family has great prestige in the financial and legal circles, and many people in the family have served as executives of the Bank of England and ** officials at all levels of courts.

In the relationship, she has always been too rational, which may be an important reason why she has been frustrated in love.

She whispered to Morningstar: "His family is a hereditary nobleman in England and a foreigner, so I'm afraid my parents think about it more." ”

"Don't think about the result first, the two of you will go everywhere first! How can you know if it's suitable if you don't try? When I first got together with Su, everyone said that I wasn't worthy of him, and I didn't think about the result at all, and in the end we didn't come together?"

Hearing Chenxing say this, Li Sizhi envied her very much, in the world of feelings, what she lacks may be courage and action, many people passing by her, as soon as she thinks of various obstacles, she automatically ignores this person.

Alvin brought a few dishes, and when he saw that they seemed to be talking about himself, he asked with a smile, "What are you two talking about me?"

"My sister said you are very handsome!" Morning Star leaned on the small seller, and directly tested Alvin for Li Sizhi.

Li Sizhi's face turned red, and she quickly pinched Morning Star secretly, telling her not to talk nonsense anymore, Morning Star smiled and twisted his body, watching Alvin's reaction.

Alvin had a flattered expression on his face, and hurriedly asked Li Sizhi: "Sizhi, do you really think so? In the years of our classmates, you never agreed to my date, I thought it was because of the aesthetic differences between the East and the West, in your eyes, a man like me is not good-looking!"

"That's not the case, Alvin," Li Sizhi explained to him embarrassedly, "I was in a hurry to finish my credits and graduate early, and I applied for two more courses every year than you, and I was very short of time, so I basically didn't go to a few classmates' appointments. ”

It's also true, when she was at Columbia University, Li Sizhi was recognized as the hardest working student, in addition to attending classes, she participated in various clubs, she played the piano, danced, sang, swam, played ice hockey, but she refused to associate with foreign boys, at that time they discussed privately, thinking that it might be because her family's tutor was very strict.

Alvin was inspired and decided to think of a date with Li Sizhi in the past two days, which was a dream that his classmates had not realized for several years.

While eating, Morning Star saw that some students were still doing their homework while waiting for the dishes, and she whispered to Si Zhi: "Are these people so hard?

"Tutors assign a lot of homework to students, Oxford is very famous in this regard, Oxford has a short time in each semester, but the study tasks are heavy, you have to hand in papers every week, and the homework assigned by the tutor is difficult, so it is common for students here to write homework until late at night. ”

This is really the other way around, Morningstar thought to himself, in China, I only heard that elementary school students and high school students have too much homework, and it seems that everyone is much easier to enter college, but here, after going to college, it seems that the difficulty of learning is higher.

After lunch, Alvin took them to his office and sat down for a while, Alvin's room was very clean, everything was neatly placed, and it could be seen that the tutor was very good.

He made the famous British Royal Coffee for Morningstar and Li Sizhi, and Morningstar watched him put a sugar cube in a spoon, then poured brandy, and then lit it with a lighter, the sugar cube burned, and the blue flame danced, which was very beautiful and dazzling.

When the flame was extinguished, Alvin poured the melted sugar cube from the spoon into the coffee cup and stirred well, finally squeezing a whipped cream flower on the rim of the cup.

Making a cup of coffee is so ritualistic, Morning Star experienced the so-called aristocratic lifestyle for the first time, like Alvin, who makes every little thing in life rich in the beauty of a work of art, such a life, will you feel that all the time is full of meaning?

The three of them drank coffee, and Alvin suggested to them very sincerely: "If you only have three days, I suggest that you might as well just take a good look at Oxford, the 800-year history of Oxford University, more than 30 colleges, even if it is three days, it is all a quick look." ”

Cambridge and Oxford have a deep relationship, Cambridge's original teachers were separated from Oxford, and the two have many similarities in terms of style and system, and even the characteristics of the discipline, the biggest difference is that Oxford is the cradle of politicians, and Cambridge is the cradle of scientists. ”

Si Zhi asked Morningstar's opinion, Morningstar was originally a famous principal to see and figure out the role, not to look at a few more schools, hearing Alvin say this, immediately agreed with his opinion.

Alvin had a public class in the afternoon, and knowing Morningstar's purpose for coming here, he suggested that Morningstar sit in on his lecture.

His arrangement was in the hands of Chenxing, after watching so many universities, she had never had close contact with these female students and observed their classes, she discussed with Si Zhi in a low voice:

"Sister Sizhi, come to class and ask Alvin to help me make arrangements, let me sit next to a female student, I want to see her demeanor in class, how she takes notes, how she interacts with the tutor, so that I can learn more. ”

It was not difficult for Alvin to arrange this, and Li Sizhi also wanted to hear how he taught the students, so she also followed, sitting in the row in front of the morning star, and Alvin joked with her:

"Sizhi, you sit here, I'll be nervous, I tell students MBA cases, it's far less vivid than your appearance!"

"You overestimate me," Li Sizhi encouraged him: "Although I have been a corporate executive for several years, I am responsible for trivial matters, and I may not have very instructive experience.

When class time came, Alvin went up to the podium to start the class, and Morning Star found that in Alvin's class, girls accounted for more than half, and she secretly wondered in her heart, is it because the teacher is young, handsome, and has a good family background, so these little girls are chasing after his class?

Morningstar paid close attention to the female student next to her, at first, the girl was still very attentive to taking notes, after hearing this, the female student actually closed the book, with a confused look on her face, Morningstar was 100% sure that the girl next to her did not understand Alvin's later lecture.

When it was time for the end of class, she saw Alvin writing a bunch of things on the blackboard, such as the names of several books, and the female students next to her immediately wrote them down in their notebooks.

After class, she asked Si Zhi what was going on, and Si Zhi told her that in these places in Oxford, the teacher's lectures often exceed the curriculum, so it is common for students not to understand, but the teacher will recommend relevant books to students after class, and students can understand what the teacher is talking about after reading these books.

Si Zhi smiled and told Morning Star that the books recommended by Alvin were enough for these students to read sleeplessly for several days, and other teachers would also stream their homework like this, you can understand why the students here are so hardworking, right?

Morning Star was speechless, feeling that it was really not easy for students in these universities, he had no chance to go to a prestigious school, although it was a pity, life had never been so tense.

That night, Si Zhi insisted on inviting Alvin out for dinner, and after everyone had an exquisite Western meal, Si Zhi took Morning Star to stay at the famous resort in Oxford.

Morning Star felt that he had gained a full day, returned to the room, and rested after talking to Su, Alvin sat here with Li Sizhi for a while, and the two discussed the invisible monopoly industry in the world, and accidentally chatted late at night.

It wasn't until he found out that Li Sizhi couldn't help but yawn that Alvin realized that he had stayed too long, and quickly apologized to her: "Sizhi, I didn't expect us to have so many similar views, and we talked for a long time by accident, I'm really sorry." ”

"It's okay, we had a great conversation today, I haven't talked about these issues in a long time since I left school. ”

Leaving Li Sizhi's place, Alvin thought to himself: We have a common language! This girl is one of the few women who has a thoughtful mind and insightful business insights, and has such a gentle personality, which is exactly what I have been striving for!

Alvin decided to seize such a good opportunity: she admitted that she was very handsome! Since she had a crush on him, maybe it would be possible between the two of them.

When Song Peiji arrived in London, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and he immediately contacted our people here, and contacted the KGB, which was active here, and everyone met to discuss cooperation.

The information provided by Liu Qingyu was still very valuable, and the person in charge of the KGB in London heard about the content of the information, and after consulting the headquarters, he immediately agreed to our request for cooperation.

Of the twenty people brought by Song Peiji, six of them were guarding the airport, they expected that Zhang Mingyue would arrive later than Song Peiji and them, and they were going to stay there to keep an eye on the inbound personnel.

The others followed Song Peiji to London, ten people remained in London to take charge of maneuvers, and the other five followed Song Peiji to Oxford.

This time, Song Peiji disguised himself as a foreign executive of a domestic company, and went to Oxford to look for a few chemical professionals, he stayed in the same hotel as Morning Star, and when he was eating breakfast, he pretended to meet Morning Star by chance, the two pretended to be old acquaintances, chatted for a while during dinner, and after eating, Song Peiji went to Morning Star's room to sit for more than ten minutes.

He took out the pocket watch, let Morning Star hang it on the outside of his sweater, and told her repeatedly: "You must bring it these days, and don't take it off at any other time except for taking a shower." ”

Morning Star became inexplicably nervous, and Song Peiji had to lie to her: "Our people came here this time to carry out a mission, to bring a beautiful oriental girl back to China, your facial features are more eye-catching, in case this person meets you, maybe he will dress up like you, Su let you wear this pocket watch, which means to avoid admitting mistakes." ”

Morning Star was relieved, and she also gave Song Peiji an idea: "It's not so complicated, after you catch someone, just ask her if she knows Su Bu?"

"Shhhh

Morningstar stuck out his tongue, so that he didn't mess with his thoughts.

After Song Peiji saw Morning Star, he immediately separated from her, and explained to her before leaving: "I will be here in the last few days, even if you meet me, you have to pretend not to know me." ”

Li Sizhi saw Song Peiji follow Morning Star's room, and guessed that this person should be sent by Su, and after Song Peiji left, she saw that Morning Star was wearing the pocket watch that looked like an antique, and she was secretly vigilant in her heart, and explained to her and Morning Star's bodyguards that she should be extra vigilant in the past two days.

Alvin didn't have classes today, so he walked on the streets of Oxford with Morning Star and Li Sizhi, and walked to Christ Church College in Oxford, Alvin told Morning Star that the early history of Oxford University was inseparable from religion, so if you want to understand Oxford, start with this college.

The buildings along the way looked old, the color of earthy yellow, and Alvin pointed to a spired Gothic building and told Morning Star, "This house is more than 500 years old!"

Morning Star looked closer, and although there were some wordless vicissitudes, the house still looked very strong!

Oxford's colleges are scattered along the streets, and these houses are old, and they look quaint and elegant, with high stone walls crawling with various vines, creating a mysterious, mellow academic atmosphere.

Christ Church College is one of the largest colleges in Oxford, with deep ties to British politics, producing 16 British prime ministers in the last 200 years.

The academy was open to the public at half past ten, and Alvin used his identity as a teacher to take them in at nine o'clock, and there were no tourists in it at this time, only the teachers and students of the school, so that they could observe them closely.

Alvin took them to see the school's famous House Chapel, Tom's Tower, and the famous galleries of the College Hall, but he always felt that something was wrong today, and when he turned his head, he always saw someone walking quickly behind them.

He was very puzzled in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he shouldn't, wasn't it just that he had visited a while in advance, and he was guilty of following them?

He deliberately slowed down, and took the morning star and they did not follow the route of the visit, but walked directly to the faculty office of Christ College, he turned his head again, still feeling that someone was following them, he did not dare to be careless, and called Li Sizhi and whispered;

"Si Zhi, the situation is different today, someone is following us, you go with me to find a leader of the academy and ask the security guard of the academy to help us. ”
