Chapter 57 Where do we not meet in life?
When she woke up, the fragile disguise that Feliro had taken off last night had come back to life. Although she is tired, she still has to maintain an empathetic image.
She came to Hong Kong once to shop, and now she has naturally become the main force to prevent Gu Mojie and his party from being deceived. The six people do not know Cantonese, they can only speak Chinese, and if they are not careful, they may be tricked into the black shop of the customer. Although Gu Mojie is not bad for money, he doesn't want to buy high-priced and low-quality goods, which will ruin his mood.
To say that Hong Kong in 04 has the biggest impression on Gu Lu and others, it is nothing more than clean. This cleanliness is not the usual cleanliness, but the cleanliness after the rain. The weather in Hong Kong is very changeable, and it rains when it is said to rain, even in winter, it is normal to stop a few times a day.
In China, in a more refined tourist city like Qiantang, the streets are usually very clean, but the brick joints of the sidewalks are always loose for no reason. That kind of dirty is not that the infrastructure is poor, it is nothing more than a domestic restaurant that occupies the road, likes to pour sewage on the sidewalk, and the brick joints expand and shrink over the years, cracking out of the place where dirt and dirt are hidden.
In Hong Kong, speak with all conscience. After making steamed buns in the early morning, there are really no black-hearted merchants who splash the sewage from the steamer on the street.
Early in the morning, Gu Mojie and the six of them took a taxi to Sham Shui Po, found a tea restaurant with the same conscience, and ordered some siu mai shrimp dumplings and barbecued pork buns.
After drinking morning tea, along Sham Shui Po from north to south all the way to sweep the goods, Fei Liluo made a list, together with Ye Minru, two "old drivers" led the way in front, and the other four followed behind. Every time she went to the store that Feliro chose, she went in and wreaked havoc.
Such a scene happens repeatedly.
"Junjun, try this, it's for you." As soon as I heard this, I knew that it was Fei Liluo who was giving Lu Wenjun Amway.
Lu Wenjun watched it for a long time. I can't tell if the clothes are good or bad. Said weakly: "Sister, why don't I look at the brand just now, it looks similar, but it's thousands of dollars short." β
"Don't. You don't know, the price of that brand just now is not much different from that at home and abroad. Since it's out, I'll pick a brand with a big discount abroad and buy it,"
"But I don't know which brands have a big price difference between domestic and foreign prices."
"Then you just listen to my sister. You can't go wrong. Applejack pays you anyway. β
Play seven or eight rounds in a loop...... A morning passed. Gu Mojie was made a big fuss, but he was also patient and accompanied him throughout the whole process. Feliro bought him an Armani, which was only 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, and it would be expensive to take it back to China. Gu Mojie originally pushed not to, but Fei Liluo insisted that he is also a business person now, and it will not be wrong to prepare a set, even if he doesn't wear it in school, he should wear it when he sees customers. Gu Mojie couldn't help it, so he let Feliro pick out two suits for him. As for casual wear. Then it's even more of a sea.
The Hong Kong dollar in '04 is very strong and slightly more expensive than the RMB. It will take another year before it begins to loosen and break through the 1:1 ratio, and in the next few years, it will fall all the way to a piece of Cheng dΓΉ that is worth seven or eight cents.
Eating at the Peninsula Hotel at noon, Lu Wenjun was a little tired. Her shopping ** was really not as good as Felilo's, and she began to discuss doing something else in the afternoon.
It's a pity that Lu Wenjun is not familiar with Hong Kong, and he didn't know what to do after thinking about it for a long time, and finally searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, and came up with an idea: "Ajie." I remember hearing someone in the class mention that Cheng Ying would come to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology for exchange this year? How about we go play with her? β
Gu Mojie was stunned: "She...... Didn't you send it to Zhu Kezhen College at that time? How did you come here? β
When Gu Mojie asked this question, he didn't just look at Lu Wenjun, but also turned his head slightly. He glanced at Ferdinand with a verifying look.
Ferdinand thought for a moment and coughed lightly: "It seems that there is such a saying." There are many places for people from Chu Ho Ching College to go to the three major universities in Hong Kong for exchange in the second year. β
It turned out that the Cheng Ying mentioned by Lu Wenjun and Ferdinand was a girl in the next class in high school.
People in Qianjiang Province know that Qiantang No. 2 Middle School is the best high school in Qiantang City. Therefore, in the second year of high school, there are some preferential special recruitment places: those who are in the top 20 in the school can choose to participate in the independent enrollment examination of Qianjiang University. If you pass the guΓ², you don't need to take the college entrance examination, you can directly enter the Zhu Kezhen College of Qianjiang University, and the last five-year study will be directly a master's degree after five years, which has the meaning of a few courses.
Cheng Ying was the first in the fourth class next door at the time, belonging to the top 20 in the grade, and then went. I didn't have to go to college for a year in the third year of high school, so although I was the same age, I was one year higher than Gu Mojie and them. If they say goodbye, Gu Mojie and the others have to call each other "senior sister".
However, despite this preferential policy, there are not many students who actually choose this path every year, at most three or five, and they are often just hovering on the edge of the top 20 in their grades.
The reason is very simple, because the top 20 people in Qiantang No. 2 Middle School, if they take the college entrance examination formally, at least a dozen of them can be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University. With such strength, who would want to go to the special recruitment college of Qianjiang University? Even if you give exchange students a place and a bursary during the exchange period, no one will necessarily take the bait.
So when Gu Mojie and his party came to Hong Kong, they didn't think of playing this thing with their old classmates at first.
Gu Mojie felt that he had nothing to do with Cheng Ying, so he didn't want to go much, so he muttered: "Cheng Ying went to Zhu Kezhen Academy, I know this." But not all of them are eligible for exchange students, do they? We didn't confirm the situation, is it a bit reckless to rush over? β
Ferdinand was tired of accompanying his sister to buy things, and said in a big way: "It's okay, I'll find a place to ask on QQ, and I still have Cheng Ying's QQ." β
As he spoke, Ferdinand found a computer in the hotel lobby and went on QQ, came back five minutes later, and said with a little excitement: "She is really in Hong Kong, and she has nothing to do in the afternoon." β
Yes, I can't run away this time. The six of them were counted, and the three girls of Fei Liluo, Ye Minru and Su Mei continued to sweep the goods to eat and drink in the afternoon, and Gu Mojie left enough cash for Fei Liluo. Then he himself, Ferdinand, and Lu Wenjun went to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology to meet their old classmates.
β¦β¦
To go to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, you have to cross Ta Kwu Ling, Kowloon, which is already the easternmost area of Kowloon; Surrounded by mountains and seas, it is a little quiet. Although it is only five kilometers away from the main city, it is a rare place to find peace in the middle of the noisy Hong Kong.
Gu Mojie and his entourage took a taxi to the ground, which happened to be the agreed time, and the three of them probed their heads around at the school gate, but they didn't see the joint target.
Until a voice came from behind: "Ferdinand~~~"
The three of them turned around, but they were a more faceless girl. It's above average.,But no matter how you look at it, I can't connect with the female student in the next class more than a year ago.γ
"Hey, how did you come to Hong Kong, Ferdinand. You haven't changed at all. You are...... Junjun? Oops, I'm getting prettier and more beautiful when I go to college. The girl said hello for a while, then took Lu Wenjun's hand and greeted her.
Lu Wenjun was a little shy by her, and covered it up: "Cheng Ying, you are not bad." We don't recognize it. β
That girl is naturally Cheng Ying, just listen to her and say with a big grin: "What am I, my dad is a plastic surgeon, and if a few fillers go down, the skin will not be fine." β
Cheng Ying didn't recognize Gu Mojie, and seeing that he and Lu Wenjun were still intimate, she asked with a big grin: "Your boyfriend?" β
Without waiting for Lu Wenjun to answer, Cheng Ying turned to Gu Mojie and stretched out his hand: "My name is Cheng Ying, it's a pleasure to meet you." β
"Ahem...... He's my boyfriend. But you don't have to introduce yourself...... He is also Gu Mojie. β
"Clams?" Cheng Ying's hand shook, almost dropped the card bag on the ground, pressed her glasses, leaned closer to confirm for a few seconds, and patted Gu Mojie's shoulder suddenly, "Gu Mojie? No way! No, is your dad also a plastic surgeon? β
Lu Wenjun hurriedly rescued the scene: "Don't make trouble, he is the ...... who has accidentally become handsome in the past year or so."
The farce of the reunion is over, and several people are led by Cheng Ying. I took a walk around the campus of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
Hong Kong is expensive on land, with a campus of only 6 or 700 acres of land for a university of 15,000 students, which is at least two to three times more crowded than a university of the same size in China. HKUST is again at the foot of the Taguling Mountains. Therefore, any slightly flatter land is a house or a sports venue, which is slightly cramped.
Gu Mojie and Ferdinand are boys, and it is not good to play too much with each other. Along the way, Lu Wenjun was exchanging information with the other party, and when Cheng Ying learned that Gu Mojie and the three of them were also admitted to Qianjiang University, she showed a little extra closeness. However, she also learned that Ferdinand also had a girlfriend. Slightly lost, no one can see it.
"After that, we will still be classmates, and my future diploma will also be issued by the joint school."
Lu Wenjun said modestly: "Where do you dare to be your classmate, you are already a senior sister!" By the way, what are you studying in now? β
"Me? I read material physics. At the end of the second year of high school, when I was recruited into Zhu Kezhen College, we had a preliminary split, and when I took the special entrance exam, my physical and chemical scores were quite high, but the overall table was not very good, and then I chose to read material physics in both directions. β
Lu Wenjun was slightly stunned, she is also from Qianjiang University now, so she naturally knows the strength and weakness of the various departments of Qianjiang University, she calculated in her heart, and said: "Materials physics is a good major, and the score in the college entrance examination is more than ten points higher than that of computer." Others can't grab it, how could you be transferred? However, this major is not suitable for girls, so you should be careful that you will not be able to marry in the future~"
Lu Wenjun had a good relationship with Cheng Ying in high school, so he could make this kind of joke. Cheng Ying made a gesture and slapped Lu Wenjun: "Call you poor!" When you find a boyfriend, you come to laugh at others. β
During the fight, Cheng Ying led the three of them to her department, of course, they couldn't enter the real room, but they just walked around the corridor of the real building, the surroundings were relatively quiet, and their voices were lowered a lot.
Cheng Ying continued to tell the story and said the cause and effect: "Although the material physics major of Qian University is a high-scoring major, it is not very good for special enrollment with exchange opportunities - Qian University and the three famous universities in Hong Kong have exchange student agreements, and the other two are Hong Kong University and Hong Kong Chinese, and the school sign is better than our Hong Kong science and technology."
However, there is almost no material physics in those two schools, which is a shortcoming. Therefore, if Qian University chooses material physics, the only way to exchange is to come to Hong Kong Technology, and it is impossible to go to Hong Kong University. Many students originally wanted to make their signboards more valuable, and they would rather not have a strong major. β
As soon as Cheng Ying said this, Gu Mojie and the three of them immediately understood that this was another common university signature plot for Chinese people. As long as the school is famous, even if the major is not strong, many people will recognize it - of course, if it is like Qianjiang University, it is not the case that it is assigned to agricultural majors, except for it.
The problem is, liberal arts majors are looking for a job anyway, and you can do that. It would not be good if science and engineering also recognized the school's signboard as better than the actual strength of the major, and it had to be said to be a sad thing for a country's long-term scientific and technological progress. This is how the learner valve household is formed.
Gu Mojie didn't speak all the time, but he was the one who couldn't learn the most. In his opinion, anyone who obstructs pragmatism and seeking truth from facts is disgusting, so after listening to Cheng Ying's introduction, he couldn't help but interject:
"Those people who only understand the signboard of HKU can only say that they have no knowledge. Cheng Ying, don't be like those people, you don't have to lower your IQ. Who doesn't know that the Department of Materials Physics of Hong Kong Technology is awesome? Zhu Jingwu Zhu is the principal of the school, personally mentioned the material physics, what is the concept? Will it not be as good as HKU? β
Gu Mojie was relatively low-key in high school and had no friendship with Cheng Ying. After he was reborn, although his temperament changed greatly, he became more sunny and began to lose weight, but Cheng Ying was already gone by then. So Cheng Ying didn't talk to him much along the way, except for the initial greetings, she almost ignored him later.
However, Gu Mojie's words were very heartfelt, and they went to Cheng Ying's heart. Cheng Ying felt that she had known Gu Mojie for several years, and she had heard this sentence the most.
Lu Wenjun didn't know how to do it, so he pulled Gu Mojie and asked in a whisper, "Who is Zhu Jingwu?" Sounds awesome. Academician? Is it the Chinese Academy of Sciences that is engaged in material physics? β
"Academy of Fine Arts."
"Academy of Fine Arts?"
"National Academy of Sciences!"
"How could someone from the American Academy of Sciences come to Hong Kong to be the president?" Lu Wenjun's concept of scientists is still at the stage of "the US imperialism will not die, and high-tech talents will not be allowed to return to China", and he can't figure out this matter all of a sudden.
Gu Mojie and Lu Wenjun's whispers were very soft, and people from a distance naturally couldn't hear them. But the words that Gu Mojie and Cheng Ying said earlier were heard by a few passers-by in the corridor. One of them looked at it at a glance, but he knew Cheng Ying, so he came over to say hello.
"Cheng Ying, how about greeting friends? A new classmate from the mainland? β
Gu Mojie and the three of them turned around, and what they saw was a tall and thin boy with a polite demeanor and high cheeks, who was at least in his early twenties.
"yes, senior." Cheng Ying smiled at the boy and replied, pointing to Gu Mojie and the others: "They are my classmates at Qianjiang University in China, but they are not exchange students. This time I came to Hong Kong to see me. β
The boy walked over and gave Gu Mojie a friendly punch on the shoulder: "This junior has a good vision - the signboard of the University of Hong Kong, to put it bluntly, is a little stronger in financial politics and law." Others, like us, who really study science and engineering, really don't look down on it. My name is Chen Jingtian, what do you call it? β
"Gu Mojie, Qianjiang University...... Faculty of Law. β
Chen Jingtian's face suddenly changed: "Studying the Fa? A person who studies the Fa also has this kind of insight, so I can't see it. (To be continued.) )
