Chapter 290: Practical Challenges
The delegation of Kitahara No. 1 Middle School was arranged to a hotel in downtown London, and the conditions were not bad. Sterling and Principal Zhao were arranging tomorrow's itinerary, and the others, including Li Yifan, went to the room to rest.
The next morning, the tour bus waited early outside the hotel, everyone had an English breakfast in the hotel, and under the guidance of Sterling, they first visited Norton College. To Li Yifan's surprise, Catherine did not appear this time, and the people of the Stewart family did not show up.
In a luxurious living room, Catherine sat lazily on a chair with a look of impatience in her face, and across from her, several men stood respectfully, all of them imposing.
The leader of the men is dressed like the most orthodox British gentleman, tall and thin, with a straight black suit and a butterfly-shaped bow tie at the neckline, and he speaks with a straight look. "Your Highness, the number of missing persons in the city of London has suddenly skyrocketed, and the police in London are so anxious that they are going crazy. At the same time, our people found some corpses, and the death of these people was very strange. ”
"Huh?"
The gentleman man paused, the look on his face was full of doubt, "These corpses are pale and dry, as if the blood of their bodies had been drained before they died. On their necks, there were two round wounds, but other than that, no other wounds were found, so this should be their fatal wound. ”
Catherine was a little interested, and was blocked in the office by a few subordinates early in the morning, talking about trivial things, a few missing homeless people, and she should not be bothered. But such a strange death, well, a little interesting, but it's only a little.
"Well, in order to avoid panic in the city, you can help the police gentlemen in London to investigate, and if there is a stranger who is killing innocents, then just deal with it. Of course, I think it's more likely to be a strange beast, and if you catch it, if it's not too ugly, show it to me. ”
After Catherine finished speaking, she yawned, and the gentleman man saw this, bowed slightly, and retired with his subordinates. This kind of strange thing happens every day in the city of London, and even he doesn't think there is anything worth paying attention to. However, His Highness the Fire God returned, just looking for a reason to come to the audience.
After the gentleman man withdrew, Catherine, who had been listless just now, immediately became energetic, and a moment later, Catherine, who had been carefully dressed, drove a red Porsche sports car and left her estate.
Li Yifan was bored now, and the group was shuttling around the campus of Norton College. Mr. Stirling in front was enthusiastic, like a professional tour guide, and their group of people was a tour group from Huaxia.
In fact, what they're doing now is no different from those tours. Norton School has a permanent history, many of the buildings in it are more than 100 years old, and many of the most prominent figures in English history have come from this school, and every time Sterling introduces it, it will cause an exclamation from the "tour group", and then the flashing lights will come on, and scissorhands and crooked heads will fly together.
However, Li Yifan himself admits that Norton School has a deep heritage, which is beyond the reach of Beiyuan No. 1 Middle School in any case.
When it was almost noon, Catherine arrived, and several representatives of Norton College muttered and discussed with Principal Zhao, Director Zhang, and when Catherine turned his head to look at Li Yifan, he suddenly had a sense of foreboding.
Director Zhang clapped his palms, attracted the attention of the students, cleared his throat and said, "After our discussion with Norton College, this winter camp has decided to test the practical ability of the students, and every four of you are free to form groups. We will give each group a certain amount of cash, and you will have to live on it for the next half month. ”
When Director Zhang made the announcement, there was an uproar in the crowd. What are you kidding, in a foreign country, this is a survival challenge for them. And it's winter, although the winter in London is relatively warm, but people will freeze to death at night.
Li Yifan watched coldly, he didn't need to say anything on this kind of occasion, some people expressed different opinions, after all, in the winter camp, many people came in after saying hello and working hard, and these people were not easy to offend.
Sure enough, a fashionably dressed girl said angrily: "Director Zhang, basically no one of us here is familiar with the environment in London, and the students of Norton School are all locals, I think this kind of practical exercise is unfair!" ”
"Yes, it's just not fair!"
"We're here to learn, not to be beggars in London!"
"On such a cold day, if a student gets sick, do you take responsibility?!"
The voice of doubt was getting higher and higher, Director Zhang couldn't suppress the scene anymore, he turned his head to look at Principal Zhao, Principal Zhao walked over slowly, his expression was calm, he pressed down with both hands, the voices of his classmates gradually became quieter, and finally he was silent, looking at the gray-haired old man.
"Students, I know that everyone has one opinion or another about this decision, and to be honest, I didn't agree with it at first." Principal Zhao waved his hand, "But Norton College asked a question that I couldn't answer. ”
"What a problem!" A student shouted.
Principal Zhao smiled and said, "For a long time, students from Huaxia have always given foreign countries the impression that they love to learn and can learn. No one can deny that we win many prizes at international competitions. However, the people at Norton College just asked us if our students only learn and if our students are 'high scores and low ability'!! ”
Wow! When Principal Zhao's last sentence came out, the students were about to explode, they were all hot-blooded young people in their teens, and anyone who was pointed at their nose and said that they were "imbecile" would probably not be able to bear it.
"So, on behalf of No. 1 High School, I accepted the challenge of Norton School. I want to prove to them that the students we have cultivated in No. 1 Middle School can not only outperform them in academic exchanges, but also overpower them in practical challenges! Principal Zhao's words were sonorous.
"That's right, we're the best!"
"They will always be our losers!"
The young men were teased by Principal Zhao's words, and they screamed one by one, eager to go out and fight with the students of Norton College now. Now no one questions this challenge anymore, Li Yifan smiled bitterly, the students are really easy to deceive. However, the idea of this exercise is really good, there is never a shortage of students who study well, and many of them are admitted to Mizuki and Beijing University every year, but the practical ability is not something that can be taught in the classroom. Perhaps, after this challenge, their harvest will benefit for a lifetime
