Chapter 270: Is This a Minor Problem?
Back on the bus, Zhou Ming did not tell everyone about the things in the principal's building, because there was no need, but he just euphemistically mentioned that the Americans were not friendly to them from poor China, which was regarded as a preventive vaccination.
But they were more excited than the news that they had received an order signed by the president of the United States, and if it weren't for the fact that this was on the Harvard campus and that they had to maintain the image of Chinese, they would have howled on the spot. But no matter how restrained they were, when they finally got to the bus, after the bus started, they still sang the song of the Communist Youth League together.
Amid the cheerful singing, the minibus crossed the Anderson Memorial Bridge and crossed the Charles River to the Harvard Business School on the other side.
"That's the academic building of the School of Commerce, so let's go over there and go through the formalities. Huang Yi said to Zhou Ming.
The academic affairs building of Harvard Business School is an ordinary red brick building, Zhou Ming and they parked their cars in a special parking space, and then went to the academic affairs building to go through the procedures, this procedure is no better than going to the president's building before, and they took all twenty-five financial classes to go together, of course, there is a problem, they were stopped by the security personnel when they arrived at the door.
"I'm sorry this is the Harvard Business School Academic Building, please visit somewhere else. "The security guards apparently mistook them for tourists.
Zhou Ming was not surprised by this, and explained to the security personnel: "We are here to check in, and we have obtained the consent of Mr. Lawrence and Mr. President, and this is in writing. ”
Zhou Ming said and took out a piece and put it in front of him, the security officer looked at it, and sure enough, there were the autographs of Principal Lawrence and President Walsh, although he had not seen the president's signature, but Lawrence's signature he knew, so there seemed to be no doubt about the president's signature.
But it was this that surprised him, and he exclaimed with a ghostly expression: "My God, I'm not mistaken, you actually got the authorization of the principal and the president, it's incredible!"
The surprise of the security personnel made the other financial classmates raise their heads proudly, but Zhou Ming didn't want to talk nonsense with him here, so he asked him, "Then can we go in now?"
The security guard nodded busily: "Of course you can, but are there so many of you?"
"The one approved on the piece is twenty-six people to sign up, and two are accompanying friends, do you want to carefully count the number of people according to the piece?" Zhou Ming frowned and asked.
Zhou Ming's tone was very gentle, but listening to it in the ears of the security officer made his heart jump for no reason, and he immediately shook his head and said, "Of course not, you please." ”
The security guard said and invited Zhou Ming and them into the academic affairs building, and at this time a tall American walked out, he frowned unhappily when he saw the situation at the door and asked: "What's the matter? Why is it so noisy, this is the academic affairs building is not a tourist attraction, please leave here immediately, otherwise Mr. security, I will ask you to leave here." ”
"Mr. Provost Pete, you have misunderstood, these are not tourists, they are here to check in, and they have the authorization of Mr. President and Mr. President. The security officer explained.
But Provost Pitt was not convinced, saying, "Do you think I will believe your explanation? Don't you know that these Chinese are them."
What they are best at is to stealthily play some tricks, or forge things to deceive you? ”
After Pete finished speaking, the security officer didn't have time to reply, and Li Yang couldn't help but say: "This Provost Pete, we are indeed here to go through the formalities, we just came from the principal's building, and we do have the handwritten documents signed by Mr. President and Mr. President, we have not forged or deceived, why do you say this about us?"
Li Yang said a lot, but Pete just disdained, but emphasized to Li Yang: "Since you are Chinese, I can forgive your ignorance, but next time, please call me Mr. Provost Pete!"
Li Yang was annoyed and wanted to say something, but this time Zhou Ming stood up first, he took the piece and put it in front of Pete's eyes and asked, "This is our piece, please check it carefully." ”
Pete opened Zhou Ming's hand: "This thing is powerless, I said that this may be forged by you, you Chinese like to do this, don't you?"
"Okay, Mr. Provost Pete," Zhou Ming said helplessly, "if you have to say that we are playing a plot or forging something to deceive you, then we can leave immediately, and we will go to Mr. Lawrence, and we will go to Mr. President through our embassy or consulate to return the piece in our possession, because he is considered to be a forgery, and we need more authentic proof." ”
Pete's face turned blue and white for a while, obviously Zhou Ming's statement made him very uncomfortable, he didn't like to be threatened like this, but he didn't dare to let them go, because if they really went to President Lawrence or even Mr. President, then he would have to resign as provost.
Pete was very impulsive, but he still held back, and finally just suppressed his anger and said, "Okay, I trust you, but I don't have time to accompany you right now, my assistant will guide you to the formalities." ”
Then Pete turned around and explained a few words to his assistant, and then walked out of the door, and his assistant didn't know Zhou Ming, but just dropped a sentence "Follo Hall."
Faced with such a state of affairs, the colleagues in the financial class were very indignant, and Li Yang immediately said: "Damn, is this the case with these Americans? We are also specially approved by the US president!"
"What are you doing? This is the Academic Affairs Building, please be quiet, or please go out!"
At this time, the assistant provost in front turned around and warned Li Yang that since Li Yang just said Zhongzhong, he didn't understand it, so he could only say that.
Zhou Ming patted Li Yang's shoulder, which made him excited, and then he followed with all his financial classmates.
After about an hour and a half, Zhou Ming and the others completed the entry procedures, and they were also divided into dormitories, and they took a bus together to Harvard Park, where most of the dormitories of Harvard University students were located.
The dormitory assigned to Zhou Ming is by the Charles River, which is a villa-style dormitory that can accommodate more than ten people in total, and Zhou Ming and all his financial classmates, including Ye Ning, live here. In the United States, not all men and women are allowed to live together, but Harvard does, and for Zhou Ming, after seeing the arrogance of Americans, he was also worried that he would be bullied if he let Ye Ning and a few girls go to live in the girls' dormitory alone, so they lived here together.
But not to test
Considering the issue of men and women, Zhou Ming specially set aside all the rooms on one side for them to ensure that the girls have their own small world and will not be disturbed by gay men, of course, in fact, according to the layout of the Harvard dormitory with a bathroom and a study, even if there is only one room, it is enough.
After all the students had seen their rooms, Zhou Ming summoned everyone to the hall on the first floor, and Zhou Ming said: "Okay, we have now lived in Harvard, and we will go to the Department of Economics tomorrow to bring back our textbooks, and we will officially become Harvard students." ”
With Zhou Ming's words, all the finance students cheered, but at this time, they heard the pager on Huang Yi's body ringing, Zhou Ming took out his mobile phone and said to Huang Yi: "Since I arrived at Harvard, I have heard your pager ring several times, it has been ringing in the principal's building, it has ringing in the car, and it has also sounded in the academic affairs building, there must be something important, right?"
Huang Yi originally wanted to say no, but looking at Zhou Ming's eyes, he couldn't say anything, so he finally had to take the phone and dial it out.
Huang Yi only made this call for less than a minute before coming back, and he returned the phone to Zhou Ming and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, there is something on the association's side." ”
Zhou Ming glanced at Huang Yi before taking the mobile phone, and then Zhou Ming called the squad leader Chen Shu and told him to take them back to the hotel to pack up their things, prepare to move to the dormitory, and arrange the students of the finance class, Zhou Ming asked Huang Yi to go together, Huang Yi said to Zhou Ming: "Teacher Zhou, I have a small problem with the association, you don't have to go over together, right?" You see that there are still so many colleagues who need your care." ”
"They just went back to the hotel, I wasn't a big problem if I wasn't there. Zhou Ming looked into Huang Yi's eyes and asked, "Is it just that you are really a little problem with the association?"
In the face of Zhou Ming's questioning, Huang Yi couldn't nod his head, and in the end, he couldn't bear the pressure brought to him by Zhou Ming and had to say: "It's indeed an old problem of the association, but this problem is a bit difficult to handle." ”
"Since the problem is difficult to solve, you also called me a teacher, we are all Chinese, take me over to see." Zhou Ming said.
Huang Yi still smiled and said to Zhou Ming: "Teacher Zhou, I don't think you need to go, you still have things here, the problems on my side are all old problems, I can solve them myself, so I don't need to trouble you, Teacher Zhou, really." ”
"I know it must be an old problem, and it's still an incurable disease, but I've already asked my colleagues to drive back first, and I always have to take the bus back, right? Anyway, you're going to take a taxi now, so I'll take your ride, and by the way, I can also help you pay for it." ”
Zhou Ming said this, Huang Yi wanted to say something, but Zhou Ming had already taken him with him, and then they took a taxi to the location of the Chinese Overseas Students Association in Brighton.
When they got off the bus at the destination, Zhou Ming couldn't walk at that time, he asked Huang Yi: "Is this the old problem you said you could solve?"
Huang Yi lowered his head and couldn't speak, in front of them was a row of very ordinary bungalows, it can be seen that this should be a row of shops, Brighton Chinese Survivors Association rented two of them, but now none of the shops here are open, all the roller shutter doors are closed there, and they are spray-painted with all kinds of graffiti, all of which are very insulting words such as "Trial Yellow" and "Chinese Bed Bugs Get Out of the United States", as well as those unsightly graffiti paintings.
