Chapter 139: Pie in the Sky
"Teacher Xia, are we in the wrong place!"
Arriving at the address given by the organizer, Xiao Jinluo got out of the car first. In front of you is a building with distinct lines, concave and convex, and unique appearance. It uses a large number of slope surfaces, and the color is stable and atmospheric, showing a kind of luxury. Poses a serious conflict with the surrounding environment.
The slope of the roof has a twist; There are delicate dormer windows on the roof, which are round or pointed, and have different shapes; The exterior walls are mostly decorated with stone or antique stone. The whole building is romantic and elegant.
If it is said that in terms of architectural style, Xiao Jinluo can't tell which country's architecture it belongs to. Then the tricolor fluttering high had already given her a very clear answer.
"Yes, Mr. Xia, this is the French Consulate! What are we doing here? ”
"This is the address!" Summer lowered her head and reconfirmed the address.
"Is this to make you travel to France? Little Luoer, do you think I can touch your light and go on a romantic trip to France with you!! Liu Haoran said excitedly.
"Does Young Master Liu still need to touch my light if he wants to go to France?" Xiao Jinluo squinted at Liu Haoran and said.
Just as they were hesitating whether to call the organizer to confirm or go straight to the consulate. Two people came out of it, a Chinese and a Frenchman.
"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you! Just call me Li Mi! The girls are beautiful and the boys are handsome! ”
It is said that the French are warm and romantic, and it really lives up to its name! The two people who came out side by side were about to arrive. The French were the first to come to their side. While hugging them warmly, he introduced himself.
"My name is Luo Rui, a member of the Furong City Debate Association. Let's go in first! The Frenchman said hello and stepped aside. Rory came up and shook hands with them one by one.
Xia walked in front with Luo Rui and Li Mi, and several other people, including Liu Haoran, who was the driver for them throughout the whole process, followed them into the French consulate.
Entering the consulate, the inside continues the style of the outside, paying attention to every detail. It was the first time that Siu Kam Lok had taken a closer look at French architecture. In Xiao Jinluo's eyes, French architecture is like a romantic Frenchman, pursuing poetry and poetry everywhere.
Xiao Jinluo, accompanied by Luo Rui, waited in the consulate's parlor for a while. Several people entered the reception room.
They don't know who these people are. But it looks like it's not an ordinary person. So they unconsciously stood up. Very politely waiting for them to come.
"These are the teams that won the debate today, the guys you saw on TV this morning!" Li Mi followed in a medium build, white skin. Blue eyes, black curly hair next to a middle-aged french man. Introduce them to the man in English.
The man's eyes sparkled as he looked at them. The shrewdness inside is like a bright light, and Xiao Jinluo guesses that this person's identity will definitely not be simple.
The middle-aged French man after listening to Li Mi's introduction. and the mayor of Seremban, who was walking side by side, kept nodding and communicating. They know this mayor. Awarded to them at the end of the competition.
"Welcome!" When the middle-aged French man walked into them, he hugged them one by one and completed the etiquette of meeting for the first time.
They responded as they looked at Li Mi with inquiring eyes.
"This is the Ambassador of the French Consulate - Mr. Stephen!" Li Mi used the introduction to solve their doubts.
Xiao Jinluo swallowed, this was the highest-ranking official she had ever seen, and it was foreign. She was so nervous that she was about to faint. She looked at the others. Except for Wang Yangyu, who can still control himself, the rest of the people have stiff smiles on their faces.
At this time, it can be seen who is the real prince. And she's just an orphan with the status of a princess.
Then they met one by one with the mayor of Seremban City, the chairman of the National Defense Association, the president of University B, and other big people who could never meet in their lives.
Then came the luncheon for them. The scale of the luncheon was the level that Lowry said was the level of the reception official, and several people were overwhelmed with excitement.
Of course, all the above performances do not include Liu Haoran. Because it had nothing to do with him, he also kept himself out of it.
After lunch. Stephen explains to them why he saw them.
"Teacher Xia! Your students are outstanding! No! It should be said that China's middle school students are very good. I've seen many, many things that prove it! We in France are very much welcome to such excellent Chinese students! ”
"Mr. Stephen has won the prize!" Summer said modestly.
"No, no! I know you Chinese are the most humble! I think I should explain to you directly what I mean by seeing you! ”
"Mr. Stephen, please!"
Several people had countless guesses in their hearts, but they didn't guess right after all.
"In 03, China held the Year of Culture in France. He brought Chinese culture to France and was unanimously welcomed and praised by the French people. Nowadays, there are many French people who are very obsessed with Chinese culture. Therefore, our country decided to look for some outstanding Chinese students to study in our country. All tuition, room and board expenses are borne by our country. And your responsibility is to spread Chinese culture to our country. ”
"Mr. Stephen, I don't quite understand what you mean, my student is the one you're looking for?" Summer's eyes widened and she asked incredulously.
Li Shuangshuang listened to Stephen's words, and her joy and excitement were almost irrepressible. Studying in France, and even immigrating to France in the future, is something that ordinary people like her dare not dream of.
"Mr. Xia, what Ambassador Stephen means is that I hope that several of your students can go to France to study abroad, and after graduating from university, they can stay in France to help the French people learn Chinese culture. The term is five years, and after five years you can choose to stay in France or you can choose to return to your home country! This is an opportunity that many people can't ask for! ”
Li Wannian, chairman of the National Defense Association, explained to them kindly. He didn't expect that this debate competition would lead to such a good event in the end, which was not only a good opportunity for the students here, but also an indispensable thing for the further exchange of Chinese and French cultures.
Li Wannian didn't know in advance that the French Consulate would have such a decision, so the competition he hosted could be said to be an unexpected gain, and his joy was speechless. Presumably, not only will the country vigorously praise him, but history will also remember him.
Summer set his sights on Xiao Jinluo, Li Shuangshuang, Wang Yangyu and Li Junmo. She hasn't reacted to this yet, is that a good thing?
