Chapter Eighty-Five: Two Butterflies Stirring the Monsoon
The two of them saw the old Chinese man holding the name of the AF project) sign, looked at the hanging ridge card on their chests, and the old man smiled and said in English, "Welcome to the United States." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info\、qb5、/”
Follow the project team to a church where exchange students from all over the world gather for a meeting, and then get on a bus and drive to Exeter, about 80 kilometers from the airport.
On the bus, the teacher leading the team is introducing in English "The granite state of New England, the city of Exeter is a mysterious city. There are secret clubs of Ivy League universities, local Masonic chapters of the Founding Fathers of the United States, and secret passages dotted with early governments. The local elite formed private clubs and secret societies, and behaved in a secretive and secretive manner, which has been a long-standing tradition in New England. Not long ago, there were even news reports that the local government wanted to strictly control the secret societies here, because they have become so rampant that you will understand what the school does not want you to participate in. Su Can felt as if he was traveling abroad with Tang Yu that no one could care about.
Fortunately, listening to the conversations from the people of various countries in his ears, there is a large gap in accents, and his efforts to practice oral F6 with English soundtracks before this are not in vain. After all, he has two lifetimes of experience, the previous life of English barely passed the fourth level in the school, this life of academic ability added together, it is not a problem to overcome the difficulty.
And Tang Wei pointed her ears and seemed to listen to these conversations very attentively, thinking that even with her excellence, she would still need an adaptation period to change to such an environment for a while. A few students who seemed to be from India and South Korea were shocked when they saw Tang Yu.
Exeter College is located in the heart of Exeter, known as the "House Baby", and is dotted with small locks hidden in the jungle along a corridor called "Water Street".
The buses along the road reflect the light clouds outside, and although the architectural style of the town has gone through a long time, it is not much different from the appearance of the first frolic in the postcard. To this day, many shopkeepers still enjoy their pewter domes and exquisite wood carvings.
When the bus entered the picturesque Exeter College, the only feeling was that it was empty, and there was no expected welcome team, and even compared to the ceremonial welcome of the 27th Middle School in Rongcheng, it was a world of difference, and it can be seen how hospitable our country is.
There were only two teachers from the reception side of the college who got off the bus, and when they saw the low interest of the new exchange students, they were a little sorry, "There should have been a welcome party organized by the student group, but because it is strictly forbidden to use mobile phones in the college, the information is not connected, and the communication is not convenient, so there is a small problem, which is not the point, isn't it?" Come with me, and I will take you on a tour of the library, science center, observatory, music building, hockey rink, rowing training ground, dormitory, teaching building, and the 'Eight Rules' that the school must not violate. ”
A Canadian student next to Su Can said in a low voice, "I heard that Exeter College is very exclusive, and now it seems to be the case." ”
Exeter College is one of the top high schools in the United States, many military and political celebrities are from here, in this school can be said to be rich three or four generations plus nepotistic princes, but there is no relationship with the princelings, of course, the United States Jianghu alliance relationship makes it impossible to have a strong man with unique prestige here, and when it comes to the founding father of the United States, he always has to pull a cart.
There is no strongman, there is no prestige barrier, everyone is a hero, with the right to independent autonomy, naturally will not give face to anyone's son. It's different from the rest of the country. However, fundamental political struggles and disguised family lineage are real.
During the visit, they came to the sports plutonium, and the gymnasium was mixed with boys and girls, and there was a ** scream, and their exchange students entered, which immediately attracted the attention of hundreds of people on the field.
The middle-aged teacher called a few students who played ball, "Tell our new exchange students about the precepts here." ”
The student named Potter is the captain of the school team, and he looks like a Westerner handsome, and he showed a charming smile when he saw Tang Yan, and then said in a joking tone, "In our stadium, there are almost no shackles of the eight precepts, and perhaps the only thing to pay attention to is that you are not allowed to climb the roof." There was a burst of laughter around.
Because most of the students are studying in the 11th grade, there are not many students who come to study in the 12th grade like Su Can and Tang Yan, and among the exchange students here, only Su Can is relatively tall, and one of the students who played ball is called Egger, standing opposite Su Can, and laughed, "I heard that Chinese students only do questions, and they never participate in club activities, my friend, is this true?" ”
Everyone laughed, and some of the girls around them shouted "Oh! Chinese Students! And the teacher didn't seem to mean to interject.
Tang Yu looked at Su Can, slightly nervous. Bu encountered this kind of thing as soon as he went abroad, whether it was the general atmosphere of the other party, or deliberately targeted, it was the first time he encountered it, and this kind of "enthusiasm" came to his face, which was still difficult to resist. Su Can pouted, "It's not what you think." ”
The student named Egger stared at him and sneered, "Really? "And then the ball in your hand is thrown high, magnetic! With a bang, he slammed on the ground, bounced up, and flew straight towards Su Can.
The ball was firmly held in Su Can's hand the next moment, and the countershock force shook his hand numbly, he knew that if he couldn't hit it in one shot, then there was only one possibility, and he would lose face in one breath.
The moment he held the ball, he jumped up, and the ball in Su Can's hand flew out of his hand, drawing an arc and crossing the tall boy, canopy! It slammed into the back of the basket, bounced up, and fell into the frame.
The atmosphere of the students in the surrounding audience was stagnant, and the students who were playing in team uniforms opened their mouths with a surprised expression, and the students called Egger "Wow! Shaking his head, he gave Su Can two thumbs up.
The exchange students felt that they had a very long face, and some Koreans felt that they were not convinced, and if the other party provoked them to change on their bodies, they might be able to break through this guy and get a straight slam dunk, even though he was only 1.6 meters tall.
Su Can secretly thinks that there is a lot of luck in this ball, and in the practice training between Xia Hai and Lin Luoran, he is not as good as Lin Luoran in terms of ball skills, and may not be as good as these American students at all, but differentiated competition still exists, and his biggest advantage is to make a turret with a very accurate grasp of the feel and ball sense.
In the midst of the friendly coaxing around at the moment, Su Can looked around. Is there anyone you're looking for? There are nine dormitories in the college, which are provided for Su Can and Tang Yu to briefly introduce and shake hands and ask not to intervene in his "private territory", which is no different from his living experience in his previous life.
Su Can is still reminiscing about the separation from Tang Yu in front of the dormitory building under the half-bright sky, this girl in a foreign country has a little bit of loneliness, only when she sees him Su Can will the daylight be much brighter, but Tang Can does not seem to lack friends, compared to the unfriendly Exeter College, her roommates and new classmates are very interested in her. However, Tang Yu soon knew what the source of interest was for this group of girls.
"Iger is the strongest striker on our varsity team, he was hailed as a 'good attacker' for his best goal in last year's varsity game and was favored by Harvard Business School headhunters. He's a pretty shot, isn't he? "I think he's quite attractive, I wonder if his dancing skills are just as amazing?" A blonde girl said wistfully. Tang Yu didn't know what her expression was.
Su Can's first day at Exeter Academy was like this, his roommate Tillery poured into the dormitory with a large group of men and women wearing different costumes, and quickly closed the door, booing him, "We are the Dungeons & Dragons group, you are my roommate, this kind of event should be attended by everyone, right?" ”
So Su Can felt that he was very idiotic to join this game of dragon slaying warriors, and he felt that it was not unfounded to hear that this academy secret society had become popular before he came, and it seemed that this kind of activity was born around him.
But unfortunately, there were a large number of footsteps outside the door that night, as well as the sound of twisting the doorknob, the school management of the brigade found them out, and Su Can was even sent to the principal's office, and the principal with a straight face thought that it was very incorrect for an exchange student to break the school discipline and rules at the beginning and participate in the school's underground club activities, which are never allowed. Su Can wanted to say that he was a ghost and wanted to participate in this kind of belly-crippled game.
The first thing to do when I entered the school was that the impression of the academy was definitely not very good, and on the other side of the current ball, all the students of the school in Rongcheng would notice his and Tang Yu's every move in the American academy, and if they wanted to get a full A rating, Su Can had already fully felt the difficulty, and it seemed that the self-confidence before the gang was a little too detached from reality.
Su Can knocked on a dormitory door on Monday morning, this student dormitory looks the same as all Exeter College student dormitories, not neat but full of various personalized decorations, especially a table in the middle of the dormitory, on the table is a very popular board game in the United States, "rial" o This game is a bit like the desktop version of the "Civilization" series that Su Can is familiar with, the world map is printed with the pattern of medieval warfare, and there are dolls representing their respective soldiers standing on each section of the continent, All you have to do is occupy the region to replenish your forces, with the ultimate goal of dominating the entire world.
In front of the table sat a young man, with a flat head, well-defined eye sockets, and a large nose bridge, which made his impression extremely prominent, and when he saw Su Can come in, he pointed to the table, "Please take a seat." ”
Flickering eyes, there is a look similar to a spider waiting for prey hidden under his innocent appearance, which is not easy to detect, but this does not mean that Su Can can't, who is the spider in the end, it is still unknown.
Sitting down in front of the boy's saint, he opened the game with three continents: Asia, Australia, and Africa.
And Su Can holds the strength of Europe, North and South America. The forces of the two sides began to advance and encroach, and the twelve sides of the five ranks, white and black, did not determine the battle situation of the two sides. This kind of game allows people to fully experience the importance of strategy and luck in the success or failure of war, and the whole process of the game also reflects the psychology of real-world countries in developing armaments.
Su Can knew that the man in front of him was a natural strategist, and he was definitely a master of playing this kind of tabletop board game. The two sides are also considered opponents. Four hours passed. From half-past two until nearly seven o'clock in the evening.
The two sides finally fought a fierce decisive battle at the door of Su Can's hometown in the European battlefield, and the last corner of the army was defeated, and the man in front of him stood up and stretched out his hand to Su Can, "You are very powerful, you want to rule the world... Zach, if it's not bad, if you can find my dorm through the campus roster, you are that Su Can. Nice to meet you... Finally met.
In Exeter Academy, a very ordinary private high school, two ordinary hands that can't be ordinary hold each other, all this should not have happened, but it was a mistake.
Many years later, the man recalled in an interview with Forbes and felt that it was a fateful arrangement.
He said, "Most of my success comes from my partner, if he hadn't given me my first email, if we hadn't shaken hands meaningfully, I don't think I'd ever be in this position, I'm still a, maybe at Microsoft, or at Google, I'm definitely not a CEO, and I can't joke with people that I want to rule the world." ”
Su Can recalled the information about this man in later generations, "Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of the American social networking site f△, was dubbed "Gates second". According to Forbes magazine's conservative estimates, Mark Zuckerberg has a net worth of 100 million US dollars, and the F☆& he founded is the largest social networking site in the United States, and it is also a model that the world has imitated and has never been surpassed, and his net worth has reached $400 million a year Mark in the Forbes list of the world's young rich. Zuckerberg came out on top. He is also the youngest self-employed billionaire in the world. When Mark was hailed as the world's youngest billionaire in '08, he was only twenty-five years old.
And now, in front of Su Can, this immature face is only seventeen years old. They are just two butterflies in different oceans.
It's so mundane that no one will remember their names, like all stories that never happened, quietly dormant, and if it is mentioned that they will stand at the top of the social pyramid in the future, or someone will scoff at them. Such hibernation until the two butterflies have been diverted by the fate of the micro-end, placed in one place, and met on the day they met.
Now is a very critical time, writing is a bit slow, this is the Shi Xuan 1 that embodies the value of Su Can's rebirth, no matter what, Su Can's rebirth value still has to be reflected and fully utilized.
Let everyone wait for a long time, full of resentment, I will try my best to ensure quality and quantity
