After a few long tones, the phone was answered: "Good Morning." ”

Gu Xiaoshi's English level can only be regarded as improvised, he has never spoken to anyone, let alone a foreigner, he almost didn't hang up the phone immediately, took a deep breath, and said intermittently: "Goo...... Good…… mor…… morning。 ”

The English teacher taught to call people I didn't know, and the next sentence should be to introduce who he was and who he was going to find, but Gu Xiaoshi was too nervous and completely forgot, just when he didn't know how to continue, there was a voice on the other side of the phone, and Gu Xiaoshi was stunned when he heard it......

"Hello, is it Gu Xiaoshi?"

Fortunately, Gu Xiaoshi reacted, but he still stuttered a little: "You...... Hello, I'm ...... It is an ancient small stone. ”

"It's great to hear you, I'm Claudio Hanks, and I've been waiting for your call. ”

Gu Xiaoshi rubbed his chest, calmed his nervous mood, foreigners who speak Chinese? It's easy to do it if you speak Chinese!

"Hello, Mr. Claudio. "Actually, Gu Xiaoshi is wrong again, there is no such name, Claudio is the other party's name, Hanks is the surname, familiar people can be called Claudio, unfamiliar need to call Mr. Hanks.

Obviously, Gu Xiaoshi didn't realize this, and only listened to him continue: "I called you because I received two letters from Augustus Academy, saying that they wanted me to study at the Academy, and your contact information was mentioned in the letters, so ...... I want to know about it from you. ”

"It's my honor!" said Mr. Hanks on the other side of the phone, "It is precisely because of a talent like you that our college wants to invite you to study, and we hope that you can learn something, and we believe that in the future, your knowledge will definitely benefit the world!"

"Bullshit for the benefit of the world, what a big hat!" Gu Xiaoshi thought to himself, this sentence was written in the letter, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the letter, it was sent by them. Now there are two things that need to be clarified, one is the identity of the other party, is it really the staff of the academy, or is it swaggering everywhere in the name of the academy, and the second is, how do they know about themselves?

"Sir," Gu Xiaoshi was so nervous that he couldn't remember the other party's name, and asked, "I have a question, can I consult?"

"Of course, I will be happy to answer for you. "Until now, Mr. Hanks has been very kind, at least polite in his words.

"That's right," Gu Xiaoshi said hesitantly, "I want to know, why did you send me a letter, I mean, how do you know about me, and how do you know that I am suitable for your academy?"

"This question will take some time to answer, can I answer your following question first, and then explain it last?" Mr. Hanks had obviously expected Gu Xiaoshi to ask such a question.

"Oh...... All right. The first question was bypassed by the other party, Gu Xiaoshi felt a little unsure, but still said the second question: "This...... Maybe I'm a little embarrassed, how do I know if these two letters are true, and there are ......" Gu Xiaoshi swallowed: "Whether what the letter says is true or not, about the cost ......"

"Of course, you can trust Augustus and the sincerity of the Academy, and everything mentioned in the letter is our promise!" Mr. Hanks's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Then ......" Hearing the other party say so surely, Gu Xiaoshi didn't know how to answer.

"Gu Xiaoshi, please believe us, I think, in order to better explain your concerns, we need an interview, I am in the mountain city now, I wonder if I can invite you to come to me?"

"This ......" Gu Xiaoshi lost confidence in his heart, so he said a few words, and before he could figure out what he wanted to know, the other party asked to meet, to go or not to go?

"I know you may doubt the truth of the whole thing, please don't worry at all, everything will be clear when we meet!" Seeing that Gu Xiaoshi seemed a little hesitant, Mr. Hanks continued.

"Oh...... All right. "Gu Xiaoshi has figured it out, I'll see you when I see it, will you still eat me?

"Very good, without further ado, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the Shangri-La Hotel in the city, room XX, I don't know if it's convenient for you?

"No, no, I'll go myself, I can find it. "In terms of language arts alone, Hanks is better than Gu Xiaoshi, I don't know how much, it's completely different, Gu Xiaoshi obviously still has doubts in his heart, but he can't refuse the other party.

"Very well," Mr. Hanks stressed again, "and see you then!"

"Okay, goodbye. After speaking, Gu Xiaoshi hung up the phone.

Gu Xiaoshi sat in place, his mind was full of waves, the whole call, the other party's attitude was very friendly, and he couldn't find any fault with his words, according to Gu Xiaoshi's thoughts, foreigners are generally more arrogant, but why would he be like this? He is just a poor student, and there is no place worthy of such treatment by the other party.

Gu Xiaoshi decided not to mention this matter to his mother for the time being, so as not to worry her, and go to meet this Mr. Claudio Hanks first, and wait until after the meeting!

Claudio Hanks, now fifty-five years old, his father is German, his mother is from France, he inherited the courage and rigor of the Germans, but also has the elegance and romance of the French, a golden hair, never messy, a slender figure and a charming smile, coupled with elegant temperament and humorous conversation, make him the most popular in the Augustan Academy, has always been among the best.

At the age of seventeen, he was brought into Augustus College by the principal, graduated early three years later, and went to the United States on the other side of the ocean to continue his studies. It took one year to get a master's degree in psychology from Harvard University, then two years to get a doctorate in communications from Columbia University, and that's not all, and another two years to Georgetown University, where he received a doctorate in public relations, the university's most famous doctorate. At this time, Claudio was only twenty-five years old, with degrees from three top universities in the United States, and a master's degree and two doctorates, which made him famous, and before he even graduated, he was already hired by a multinational company within the world's top 100, providing a job that all Ivy League graduates dream of, a prestigious position and a good salary, Claudio stepped into the upper class of the United States.

In the following time, Claudio has changed several jobs, almost all of them are executives of the world's top companies, and even served as an adviser to a certain country's candidate for parliament. Claudio has never spent more than two years in one place, constantly challenging his abilities, and has worked in almost all parts of the world, from the United States to Europe, from Europe to Asia.

Claudio, who turned 45, eventually returned to the Augustan Academy, where he was responsible for the college's foreign affairs. He never doubted that everything he had experienced was nothing more than a floating cloud compared to the headmaster, or rather to the cause they were pursuing together.

At this time, Claudio was not as calm as before, he was standing in front of the fitting mirror in the hotel room, hesitating something. There were three suits beside him, one in light gray with a silver tie, one with dark navy blue stripes and a bright yellow tie, and the last one was a gown, a black dress with a bow tie of the same color. Three suits hang there, straight lines, meticulous hand-cutting, and a one-of-a-kind fit tailored to the whole body, comfortable and noble materials, which look valuable. Yes, all three suits were made to order in Savile Row, England, the brand is Anderson & Sheppard, several times to try on, months of waiting, not long ago just ready-to-wear, was brought by Claudio, for today.

What day is it? It's a good day, a big day, at least for Claudio, it's for the president and the college.

In just a few hours, Claudio will meet with Gu Xiaoshi to discuss Gu Xiaoshi's enrollment.

That's right, Gu Xiaoshi is just a poor student, an ordinary person, that is, in Shenzhou, people like him are calculated in tens of millions. However, Claudio knew very well in his heart, including him, that only a few people on the planet knew what this big boy meant to the Headmaster, to Augustus, or to the whole world......

In the end, Claudio still chose the navy blue suit, gray will make him younger and more energetic, but the other party may think it is a bit frivolous, and the black dress, too solemn, not suitable for the occasion, will spoil the atmosphere of the meeting.

Claudio sorted out all the materials he would need, sat at his desk in his suite, and waited quietly.

Gu Xiaoshi had lunch, cleaned up, said to his mother, prepared to go out, tidied himself up before leaving, changed out of his shorts, put on the only pair of jeans, and then turned out a T-shirt from the closet, which looked good, at least Gu Xiaoshi thought so, and finally used a comb to comb his hair, trying to make himself look more energetic.

The destination was not close to home, and it took a total of an hour, and Gu Xiaoshi finally arrived at the door of the hotel ten minutes before the agreed time.

The hotel lobby is brightly lit and the huge crystal chandelier emits a soft glow on the marble floor.

"Being rich is different. Gu Xiaoshi thought to himself, walked into the lobby, found the elevator, and was about to press the button, but was stopped.

"Sir, what floor do you live on?" the service ecology was respectful, but his eyes fell on Gu Xiaoshi's cheap T-shirt.

"Huh?" Gu Xiaoshi didn't expect that he would be stopped when he got on the elevator, and then took out a tattered note from his trouser pocket, took it to record the room number, and said, "I'm looking for someone, this is the room number." ”

The waiter glanced at the room number written on it, and immediately became uneasy, this is one of the best hotels in the city, and that room number is one of the top presidential suites in the hotel, how can people go up casually, isn't this a dereliction of duty?

"I'm sorry, if you want to go to this suite, you need to let the front desk know, and we can let you in only after the guest allows it!" The waiter's attitude was still respectful, but he was judging in his heart whether the person in front of him was going to go up and sell something?

Gu Xiaoshi "went through twists and turns", broke through the "difficulties and obstacles", and finally came to the door of the suite, the door was open, and a blonde foreigner walked out quickly.
