Chapter 120: Columbia University

The reception dinner was very sumptuous, and as soon as Chu Yao appeared, Fang Shi shocked the whole audience, her Chinese classical hair pulled up high, the black floor-mopping evening dress set off the skin like white jade porcelain, a small diamond pin on her chest was just right, and her beautiful face was glowing with a layer of holy light, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.

Of course, when everyone learned that this fairy-like figure was the general manager of Chu Qin Financial Investment Company, they were all very surprised, too beautiful and too young! Catherine poured half a glass of red wine for Chu Yao, and when Qin Zihe introduced Bai Wannian, Hu Chengjun and He Xianghong to her, she just raised her glass and nodded slightly, and then welcomed everyone's arrival on behalf of Chu Qin Financial Investment Company, wishing everyone a good time in the United States, toasting with everyone, the red wine lightly touched her lips, and then said that there was still something to do, and after apologizing to everyone, she floated away.

Chu Yao floated back and forth, making everyone's hearts feel a little lost, when they arrived in the United States, they also knew something about Chu Qin Financial Investment Company, a figure with hundreds of millions of dollars in assets was unattainable in their hearts, you know, the annual profits and taxes realized by the entire Huihe City are less than 10 million yuan, how much value do you want to be created by your Huihe, it is already very face-saving to be able to come forward to greet everyone in person, but I haven't seen enough of her angel-like delicate face!

Catherine and Lucy are here to adjust the atmosphere on the field, the reception dinner is also very lively, to New York everyone feels fresh, there are many people who eat authentic Western food for the first time, under the demonstration of Catherine and Lucy, everyone is excited to learn how to use knives and forks, how to cut and how to eat.

At the end of the reception dinner, it was already more than 10 o'clock in the evening, although the afternoon rested for a while, but it was not yet fully adapted to the jet lag, plus the dinner party drank a lot of wine, everyone felt very tired, so they went back to the room to rest, Qin Zihe just returned to the room for a while, Catherine and Lucy followed, Catherine drank a lot of red wine today, and looked very excited, but because of Lucy's presence, there was no excessive behavior, just a polite surname came to say goodbye.

Qin Zihe will accompany Bai Wannian and his wife to send Bai Ying to Columbia University tomorrow to go through the admission procedures, his role is both a guide and a translator, thinking of how to talk to Columbia University with Bai Ying when he is in China, he will go to the campus in person tomorrow, so he will have to go to the target again, so he asked Catherine to find some information about Columbia University, and bring it when he comes over tomorrow morning.

After breakfast the next day, Catherine and Lucy took the members of the delegation to visit the scenery of New York, Qin Zihe went back to the room to take a look at the Columbia University materials brought by Catherine, then packed up his belongings, and after sending Bai Ying to school, he went directly back to his aunt Chu Yao to live, after getting off the plane yesterday, Qin Zihe's large luggage had been brought back by Chu Yao, and now he only brought some change of clothes with him. Bai Wannian's family wants to enjoy the reunion time of these last days together.

is about to go to Columbia University, Bai Ying looked very excited, and surrounded Qin Zihe and couldn't stop asking this and that, Qin Zihe answered them one by one with a smile. took the elevator downstairs, and the extended Cadillac of Chu Qin's company was already waiting there, with a driver and a translator in the car, which Catherine specially arranged for Bai Wannian according to Qin Zihe's request, because in the next few days, Bai Wannian's family would have to be alone together, and it would not work without transportation and a translator who was very familiar with New York.

The car soon arrived outside the door of Columbia University, Qin Zihe signaled the driver to park the car outside the school gate, such a century-old school can only feel the connotation of the heritage, not to mention that Bai Ying came here for the first time Qin Zihe needed to take him to familiarize himself with the situation, and it would be pale to drive directly to the academic affairs office to go through the procedures.

As soon as they walked into Columbia University, Bai Wannian and Bai Ying were attracted by the ancient building full of European style, and they were even more impressed by the grandeur of the campus. While accompanying them to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the campus, Qin Zihe said: "Columbia University is one of the most prestigious institutions of higher learning in the world. Along with Harvard University and the University of Chicago, he is recognized as one of the top three universities in the United States and one of the oldest colleges on the American continent. After the American Reading War, it was renamed Columbia College in honor of Columbus, who discovered the American continent, and in 1896 it was officially renamed Columbia University. ”

Qin Zihe, of course, is now learning and selling, when he talked about Columbia University with Bai Ying that day, he casually said that US President Johnson was from here, and I just read the information and realized that I remembered it wrong, it was Roosevelt and President Franklin who came from here, it seems that I will have to update it when I introduce it later, but I don't know if Bai Ying still remembers.

Qin Zihe said: "Columbia University is known as the cradle of cultivating political and economic leaders. To date, Columbia Law School has produced two U.S. Supreme Court officers, two U.S. presidents, namely: the 15th President Roosevelt and the 32nd President Franklin, in addition, there are 14 mayors of New York City, and 10 governors of New York State are graduates of Columbia University! ”

Qin Zihe said this not only Ge Fang and Bai Ying were shocked, but even Bai Wannian was very surprised, he is the secretary of the municipal party committee and is particularly sensitive to politics, and Columbia University has produced 2 US presidents, 10 governors of New York and 14 mayors of New York Such high-ranking officials in the United States, he can't help but be surprised, the governor of New York wants to be the governor of China, the mayor of New York wants to be the mayor of the provincial capital, and an international metropolis like New York is not compared to the general provincial capital city in China. It is not difficult to see how high the reputation of Columbia University, where my daughter studied, enjoys in the world, which is not comparable to Tsinghua and Yenching.

Qin Zihe looked at Bai Wannian's surprised expression and smiled and said, "Secretary Bai, not only that, there are a total of 67 alumni and professors of Columbia University who have won the Nobel Prize!" ”

Bai Wannian was even more shocked when he heard this, no one in China has ever won the Nobel Prize, and there are as many as 67 people in Colombia University. If there is no Qin Zihe, it is impossible for her daughter Bai Ying to come here to study, maybe Qin Zihe is a master's degree in economics from here, so she has a preference for this place, so she will do everything possible to send her daughter to study here!

Bai Wannian said: "Xiao Qin, thank you for sending Bai Ying to such an excellent school to study!" At this time, on the campus of Columbia University in a foreign country, Bai Wannian was not as tense as he was in China, and he really expressed his inner thoughts.

Ge Fang stroked Bai Ying's head and said, "Bai Ying, how difficult it is for your Uncle Xiao Qin to send you to such a famous school to study, you must study hard!" ”

Qin Zihe smiled and said: "Yes, in the future, you will also win a Nobel Prize or something, and win glory for us Chinese!" ”

Bai Ying said very pretentiously: "Uncle Qin, I don't dare to think about the Nobel Prize or anything, it's all a foreigner's business, I can be as knowledgeable as Uncle Qin, I will be content!" ”

Ge Fang scolded with a smile when he heard this: "This kid has no interest at all!" ”

Qin Zihe smiled and said: "Bai Ying, you can't say that, Nobel is not all about foreigners, Columbia University not only makes Americans proud of historical celebrities, but also makes us Chinese proud of great scientists, among which the Chinese-American physicist Mr. Li Zhengdao was the top professor of this university, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957, winning glory for our Chinese nation!" ”

Bai Wannian was very surprised to hear that Tsung-Dao Lee came from here, because so far, Chinese scientists have never won the Nobel Prize, and only Chinese-American physicists Yang Zhenning and Mr. Tsung-Dao Lee have won this honor.

Bai Wannian said with great emotion: "Xiao Qin, I really didn't expect that Mr. Li Zhengdao was actually from here. ”

Qin Zihe said: "Yes, Secretary Bai, to be precise, Mr. Li Zhengdao has served as the top professor of this university!" ”

Speaking of this, Qin Zihe looked at Bai Wannian and continued: "In addition, there are many celebrities from all walks of life in China who have come out of this university, such as Gu Weijun, Ma Yinchu, Song Ziwen, Feng Youlan, Hu Shi, etc., as well as the famous nuclear scientist Jiang Shengjie who have all walked out from here!" ”

"Hey! I really didn't expect it! "As a member of a certain level in the officialdom, Bai Wannian still knows something about celebrities like Gu Weijun, Ma Yinchu, Song Ziwen, Feng Youlan, and Hu Shi, but he doesn't know much about nuclear scientist Jiang Shengjie, if Qin Zihe doesn't say it, he really doesn't know that there is such a person.

Qin Zihe saw that several important places in Columbia University had been visited, so he proposed to go to the Academic Affairs Office to go through the admission procedures, if you want to tour the entire campus, there is no day or two that you can't get off, so leave it to Xiao Baiying to visit slowly, anyway, she will spend at least four years of college here. Of course, Bai Wannian's family would not object, and Qin Zihe took him to the school's academic affairs office.

The admission procedures went very smoothly, and after everything was arranged, Qin Zihe and Bai Wannian's family of three walked out of Columbia University, because there were still a few days before the official start of school, Bai Wannian's family of three wanted to visit everywhere together, Bai Ying's group did not live in the student dormitory, and lived in the hotel with her parents.

got into the car, Qin Zihe took out one and handed it to Bai Wannian and said: "Secretary Bai, I'm going back to my aunt in a while, you take this first, call me if there is anything in the past few days, this car will be dedicated to your family in the next few days, where to play, just call the translator Miss Jones, she will arrange it properly!" ”

Bai Wannian took the phone and nodded and said, "Xiao Qin, thank you, you have arranged it so thoughtfully for our family!" ”
