"What are you doing in the United States?"

The topic of the two quickly switched to Shangguan Sakurako's side, and the other party replied briskly: "I applied to be an exchange student for half a year. ”

"Which school?"

"Stanford."

"I should have thought that a college bully like you is only worth applying for hypsm, and it happens to be in San Francisco again."

HYPSM refers to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, and MIT, representing the highest T0 level of universities in the United States.

In the early years, the more popular concept in China was called the Ivy League, which was actually a sports league at the beginning, and later developed into a college alliance between eight prestigious private universities in the northeastern United States.

However, the admissions policies or admission thresholds of these schools are different, and as they recruit more and more international students who graduate from here and return to their home countries, the forced qualifications are becoming more and more insufficient.

In particular, the graduation photo of the statistics department of Columbia University shows that there are only two non-Asian faces in a class.

As a result, there was a lot of ridicule on the Internet, known as the "shame of the Ivy League", which was almost said to be a course and program specially opened for international students from a certain country.

Well, the more international students there are, the more "water" they have, and they have finally carried forward the atmosphere of "self-volume" to the United States, which can barely be regarded as a cultural export.

Therefore, HYPSM came into being later, used to refer to the ceiling of famous American schools, these schools have a strong "high society" meaning, even if the United States is admitted to these schools, it can "change fate".

Stanford is the only one located on the West Coast, and the rise of Silicon Valley and this prestigious school should be said to be mutually successful.

Shangguan Sakurako smiled and didn't take it too seriously, she heard too much of such praise.

The two also talked about some other trivial matters, and with such a beautiful girl to relieve boredom, this long journey seems not so tired.

After the plane landed, Lin Yi and Shangguan Yingzi left each other's WeChat messages, and then said goodbye and separated.

It wasn't until she watched her walk away that Liu Jianni, who had not spoken on the plane just now, commented: "This girl is very beautiful, Stanford, very good." ”

I know that she didn't fall asleep, and I don't know how many words I secretly listened to in addition to Stanford.

But this is not to blame on Liu Jianni's head, the plane is so big, there is no place to hide if you want to make room for them.

But how does this sound like the tone of the seven aunts and eight aunts when they are matched, Lin Yibang made a statement to himself:

"We were just regular high school classmates, not even in the same class, and we hadn't seen each other for more than a year before this chance encounter."

Liu Jianni said indifferently: "You don't need to explain to me, I'm just your subordinate and not your housekeeper." It's common to have a split between public and private arrangements, and I don't think you're unprofessional. ”

"Just a reminder, if you have any private itinerary in the United States, remember to stagger the working hours, I have already sent you the itinerary before I arrived."

It really means "I don't care," not "I believe."

Lin Yi felt that he was quite wronged, and he couldn't bring Gu Caiwei with him, and he was inexplicably carrying such a black pot.

So he gave another message: "One of my roommates in high school has liked this girl for more than ten years, and we deliberately chased her on a graduation trip, so we met." ”

Naturally, he said Zhang Xiaochuan.

In fact, Brother Yi is now the city manager of Wanli Travel in Pengcheng, and as an important first-tier city, he reports directly to COO Li Moyan, and he is a middle-level cadre of the company, and Liu Jianni also knows him.

However, this is Brother Yi's privacy, so Lin Yi didn't reveal his identity.

When chatting with Shangguan Sakurako on the plane just now, he once thought about whether to mention Zhang Xiaochuan, after all, this is an object that the two of them are very familiar with, or the only place that can be intersected.

However, considering that he never mentioned Shangguan Yingzi again after seeing Brother Yi in Yangcheng in his freshman year, he seemed to have put down the past and was ready to look forward, since this was the case, he didn't make any more moves.

If he really had no feelings for Shangguan Sakurako, he would naturally be able to find out the whereabouts of this old classmate, and he wouldn't have to worry about it himself.

Lin Yi's true meaning when he said this was to explain his relationship with Shangguan Sakurako, as well as the fact that "they are not familiar with each other".

Liu Jianni obviously made a mistake, she glanced at Lin Yi and said with a smile: "Can't you see that you are quite moral?" ”

What she understood was that Lin Yi couldn't do it because Shangguan Sakurako was a woman that her brother liked.

Okay, it doesn't matter.

Lin Yi didn't bother to explain too much, Liu Jianni was not a gossip party after all, so she didn't ask, she turned to talk:

"I just listened to the two of you chatting, and you also have a big star this year, it seems that your high school is full of talents, right?"

Liu Jianni is very researched about economic dynamics and industry development, but there is inevitably a generation gap in the entertainment life of young people, so she didn't even remember the name of the new female singer they mentioned.

Shangguan Yingzi did mention Gu Caiwei just now, and the context is that she and Lin Yi are now the celebrities that old classmates talk about most often.

Obviously, Shangguan Yingzi didn't do much research on the gossip in the grade, so he hadn't heard of any scandals between Lin Yi and Gu Caiwei.

Of course, Lin Yi would not take the initiative to explain, so he casually got over the lake on the grounds that "we have no contact after graduation".

Now he still didn't tell the truth, but covered it up: "It's a coincidence, there are quite a lot of top students in our school, and there are a lot of them who go to P University every year like just now, but it's not common to start a business and debut as a star before, and it happens to be the same year." ”

Liu Jianni didn't doubt it, because she didn't know that Lin Yi and Gu Caiwei were actually in the same class.

However, Lin Yi still took the initiative to divert the topic: "I was quite surprised to say it, I didn't expect Shangguan Sakurako to take the initiative to greet me." ”

"When I was in high school, we didn't have much to do with a top student like her, and the roommate I just said had a crush on her without results, so we always thought she had a very cold personality."

"After chatting on the plane for a while today, I found that it didn't seem to be as difficult as I thought?"

They had already gotten out of the airport and got into a taxi and were on their way to the hotel, and the driver in the front seat was a white uncle who couldn't speak Chinese, so he didn't want to eavesdrop on them.

Liu Jianni asked funny: "Little boys are really boring, self-righteously labeling beautiful girls. ”

"Is there a possibility that people are not really cold in the first place, but because they are too good, you don't dare to approach, so you imagined it?"

"Do you think she treats you differently because you are now an entrepreneurial celebrity and an old man?"

Of course, Lin Yi didn't mean this, he found that Liu Jianni's words were very reasonable, and thought to himself that it seemed to be everyone's preconceived ideas.

Liu Jianni really felt at this time that Lin Yi was indeed a young man who was only twenty years old.

She thought that before going abroad, Lin Yi entrusted all the domestic affairs to Li Moyan, the girl who had always been called "senior sister" by him.

Liu Jianni originally had the intention to give two instructions, but considering that this was her own boss and not her own subordinate after all, she didn't say it in the end.

It's good if it doesn't affect the work.
