After that day, Li Xiang let go of the knot, no longer stuck to the gold beads like a few days ago, and began to go to work in the company during the day, because he was leaving, a lot of work had to be arranged and handed over, in addition, he also had to look at the company's accounts for the past six months.

On August 22nd, it was the opening day of the hometown inn here in Yijingyuan, Li Xiang, Jin Liu and Gu Panpan plus a few friends from the entertainment industry invited by Li Xiang went to help stand on the stage for a long time and held a grand opening ceremony, so the business on the first day of opening was full.

After finishing this matter, Jin Zhu and Li Xiang began their trip to the United States.

Since Jin Liu was promoted to the third year of high school, he has already started to make up classes, and it just so happens that the business here in Yijingyuan has just opened, and it is not on the right track yet, and he needs to be alone, and the house in Pinggu has also begun to be renovated, and he also needs a supervisor, so Tian Fangzhou, Liu Sheng and Jin Yang gave up this trip to the United States, and Jin Zhu accompanied Li Xiang on the plane alone.

After the long air journey, Jin Zhu accompanied Li Xiang to stand in front of this world-famous university.

"Ah, this door doesn't look very eye-catching." Jin Zhu looked at this gate again and again, it was indeed very simple and low-key.

"But the people who come out of this door are dazzling." Li Xiang stood in front of the door, also full of mixed feelings and ambition.

A year late, he finally stood in front of the school gate.

Since entering the Department of Architecture at Q University, it has become a new dream for him to come here for graduate school, and he wants to integrate traditional domestic architectural art with overseas architectural art to see what kind of sparks can collide.

In addition, he also wanted to systematically study Western oil painting to see what he could learn from traditional ink painting.

Most importantly, he wants to expand his horizons, not only architecture and painting, but also others, such as concept renewal, way of thinking, innovation ability, management philosophy and so on.

These are the purposes for which he traveled the ocean to study in this foreign land.

Because there is still a week before Li Xiang starts school, the two of them came to visit the school this time, enter the school gate, look at the lawns and buildings on both sides of the road, Jin Zhu feels that the architectural style here is somewhat similar to Q Da, and there are also many small red brick buildings and stone houses, which seem to have a more historical sense of history.

The two walked to a square, and saw from a distance that there were a bunch of people surrounding a statue, and most of them were Chinese, and Li Xiang said that this is the statue of Mr. Harvard, it is said that touching Mr. Harvard's feet can be lucky, so many domestic tour groups will line up there to visit and take pictures, and touch Mr. Harvard's feet by the way.

Jin Zhu saw that so many Chinese were there, so he stopped thinking about joining in the fun, most of the people from the country know Li Xiang, maybe they will pull Li Xiang to take pictures and sign autographs or something, these photos will be sent to the circle of friends or something, maybe it will alarm some people in the country.

This is not what Li Xiang and Jin Zhu want, they just want to quietly enjoy a peace that belongs to them in this strange city.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the famous Harvard Square." Li Xiang took Jin Zhu's hand and turned in another direction.

Harvard Square is the place where Harvard students eat and recreation every day, and when they arrived, they saw a lot of people sitting on the lawn under the shade of the trees, some reading books, some discussing some topics, some drawing, and a small band having a good time.

Li Xiang held Jin Zhu's hand and stood behind a blonde boy who was holding a pencil and was focusing on the easel, the other party was drawing, and two meters away from him, there was a girl sitting on the lawn and looking at the boy with the pen in front of him with a smile, at first glance it was the model of the blonde boy, who should also be a couple.

"Let's go." Jin Zhu saw that Li wanted to stare at the painting on the easel, and guessed that he must have remembered his parents.

Once, Ma Chunyu also sat on the ridge and looked at the man in front of her who painted for her with a smile, but who knows, all her thoughts were finally in vain.

Li Xiang smiled bitterly, and when he was about to leave holding Jin Zhu's hand, the blonde boy suddenly turned around, saw two eastern faces, and asked without looking closely: "Chinese?" ”

"Strange, how did he guess that we were Chinese?" Jin Zhu looked at Li Xiang, and then at himself.

Because they had just gotten off the plane, they were all dressed very simple and ordinary, all wearing white T-shirts with light blue slacks and a pair of white flat shoes.

This kind of dress is very common on university campuses, and when they came in just now, they saw several people nodding and saying hello to them, and two of them even ran up to them to ask if they were Japanese, but they didn't expect this person to see that they were Chinese.

When Jin Zhu was pondering, the other party suddenly stood up excitedly, stretched out his hand to Jin Zhu as if to hug her, Jin Zhu was instantly hugged by Li Xiang and turned around to leave.

"Wait, I know you, you are Li Xiang, you are a star, you are also a painter, you are Zhu, you can also paint, by the way, my name is Jerry." The other party ran in front of them in a few steps, and this time he didn't want to hug Jin Zhu recklessly, but explained a few words first.

Of course, Jerry speaks English.

"You are?" It's really strange now.

It's not strange to know Li Xiang, I know her, and I know that her name is Zhu and she can draw, and in a flash of light, Jin Zhu thought of Thomson.

"You're a friend of Thomson?" Jin Zhu looked at each other, he seemed to be in his early twenties, and he looked like a student, but Thomson was in his thirties and had been famous for many years, and the painting style of the two did not match.

"My grandparents are friends with Thomson, and my grandparents have been to your place and bought several bags from you." Jerry said as he gestured to the size of the bag.

Jin Zhu then remembered that the summer vacation after the high school entrance examination, once Li Xiang took a few of them to the county seat to see the house, and met an American couple while shopping, at that time they took a fancy to a few purses embroidered by Jin Zhu and spent thousands of yuan to buy them.

It was because of those purses that Jin Zhu was favored by Li Yuyuan, and at the same time, because of those purses, Jin Zhu was fortunate to get acquainted with Thomson and took over several jobs from the two of them, which greatly solved her economic crisis.

Therefore, Jin Zhu was quite impressed by the American couple.

"Are your grandparents okay now?" Drinking water and thinking about the source, Jinzhu naturally wants to express his concern.

Her spoken language has been honed a lot in her interactions with Thomson, and ordinary conversation is not difficult for her.

"Well, they live in Boston, and they will be very happy if they know that you are here in Boston, my grandmother likes you very much, would you like to visit them?" Jerry asked, looking at Jin Zhu.

"Okay, we'll go when we have time." Jin Zhu nodded.

"What time?" The other party asked.

Jin Zhu was a little stunned when he heard this, and glanced at Li Xiang, Li Xiang said very politely: "We just arrived in Boston today, and we need two days to settle down, and ten o'clock in the morning in two days, okay?" ”

Knowing that Li Xiang and Jin Zhu had just arrived in Boston, Jerry was very enthusiastic to say that he would be Li Xiang and Jin Zhu's guide, Jin Zhu did not have any doubts this time, although she had just entered the school gate for a short time, but when she had just walked all the way, she had already sensed the enthusiasm of her classmates for them.

At that time, Jin Zhu didn't know that Li Xiang had won the actor of the GN Film Festival.

He has been on the cover of American fashion magazines, and has been nominated for the famous American Architectural Design Award twice, and won the Japanese Architectural Design Award once, and he is also a leader among young people, so there are many people who know him, but he is not as star-chasing as in China.

And the two classmates who asked him if he was Japanese were also because Li Xiang had won a Japanese architectural design award, and they took it for granted that he was a Japanese.

His grandparents loved collecting, especially Chinese art, porcelain, jade, calligraphy and painting, carving, embroidery, etc., and because of this, Thomson would ask the Smiths for help when they encountered design bottlenecks, looking for inspiration from those collections.

Last year, after Thomson returned from the imperial capital, he brought back a few calligraphy and paintings of Li Xiang and Jin Zhu, and specially sent them to the door for Smith and his wife to admire, and because of this, Jerry knew that Li Xiang and Jin Zhu could paint.

Coincidentally, Jerry is also a lover of paintings, and when he heard his grandparents say that Jin Zhu's paintings were collectible, he was surprised and admired, because he knew that the girl was two years younger than him.

From this, he remembered the name, and also remembered this beautiful Chinese girl.

Therefore, when he recognized these two people, he was really a little excited.

However, Li Xiang rejected his offer to be a tour guide.

He just wants to walk around the campus quietly with Jin Zhu, and he doesn't have any purpose, so he doesn't need any tour guides, as for this campus, he has to live here for at least two years, and he has the opportunity to get to know it.

"Why did you refuse him to be a tour guide but agreed to visit his house?" Jin Zhu looked at Li Xiang with some puzzlement.

What she said about having time was just an excuse, she and the old couple were just a one-sided relationship, and their friendship was not familiar enough to visit them.

"Zhuzhu, the thinking of Americans is different from ours, they generally don't say polite words, since they invited us, it means that he really wants to make friends with us, and we plan to settle down here in the future, and there is no harm in having multiple friends."

Li Xiang didn't want to use the other party to borrow any light, and his memory of the old couple was also relatively deep, that look like a kind person, if Jin Zhu moved here in the future, maybe there would be another place to talk and chat.

"That's just as well." Jin Zhu nodded.

She is still self-aware of this, and she knows that she is relatively lacking in dealing with the world, so she can listen to Li Xiang's opinions.

For example, a few days ago, Director Zhang called her, saying that the script of "The Biography of Li Yuan" had been almost adapted, and he wanted to ask her what requirements she had for the male and female leading actors or if she had any recommended people, Jin Zhu originally wanted Gu Panpan to audition alone, but Li Xiang added three more names to Jin Zhu, those three people are his friends in the entertainment industry, and their acting skills have always been good, but they have no chance to get ahead, and they have been tepid.

In Li Xiang's opinion, this kind of thing is normal, and the left and right are also auditions, giving others a chance, maybe they will also miraculously change their fate like Gu Panpan.

However, Li Xiang was not like this in the past, and he was relatively cold and alienated, but since he and Qu Feng opened a company, he gradually understood some principles of life from Qu Feng, especially the last time Kang Xuexi's house had an accident, Liu Sheng didn't say a word, and he also got 20 million for him by tearing his face with his family, as well as those reasonable victims' families, as well as those respectable and lovely fans, they helped him survive that hurdle.

Since then, Li Xiang's mentality has gradually begun to change, and he will also pay attention to the people and things around him, because he believes in a word, be kind to others and be kind to yourself.

In the next two days, Li Xiang took the gold beads around Boston, Boston is a city with many historical sites, more famous buildings, Li Xiang's first thing he wanted to see was the famous Chinese designer I.M. Pei's master's work, the John Hancock Building; In addition, there is the famous Trinity Church, which is known as one of the top ten buildings in the United States; Boston Public Library, Prudential Building, and many more.

Of course, when dusk came, Li Xiang didn't forget to take Jin Zhu's hand and take a walk by the Charles River.

Two days later, Li Xiang and Jin Zhu came to the gate of Harvard University as promised, Jerry was standing in front of a white car and looked out, and when he saw the two of them, he enthusiastically stretched out his hands to hug.

"Why?" Jerry seems to be a little injured.

"Habits are different." Li Xiang explained briefly.

"Okay." Jerry shrugged, but didn't force it.

Once in the car, Jerry told the two of them as he drove that his grandparents were happy to know how happy Jin Zhu and Li wanted to visit them, and had rushed back from the country manor, saying that they wanted Jin Zhu to see their collections.

"Why?" Jin Zhu was a little confused by the other party.

Shouldn't private collections be as secret as possible? The truth that wealth is not revealed is that even children know it.

"Because my grandparents plan to donate some things to auction for charity, they are old, and some things, such as embroidery and calligraphy and painting, have to be kept quite carefully."

"Donated for charity?" Jin Zhu was surprised but expressed understanding.

Although she does not have many contacts with foreigners, she has heard of several world-famous rich people who have donated their net worth to do charity, which may be the huge difference between China and the West.

"My grandparents were devout Christians, and they said it was God's will, and God gave them the wealth for a while, and now God is going to give it to those who need it more." Seeing Jin Zhu's surprise, Jerry shrugged his shoulders and explained a few words.

Jin Zhu smiled and said nothing. (To be continued.) )
