1933: Strange New Friends (3 More)

Catherine invited Xia Xiaolan to study in English. Xia Xiaolan was thinking about finding relatives for her grandmother.

In the end, he chose to go to Cornell as an exchange student and rejected Katherine's kindness.

Catherine returned to the UK, and Xia Xiaolan never got in touch.

Later, there were too many things, so she forgot Catherine's side. She didn't expect that the two would meet again at Teacher Lin's wedding party today!

"Mr. Catherine, it's so unexpected, so surprising, I didn't expect you to come!"

Catherine hugged her, "I met Lin after the English competition. Later, when I returned to the UK, I asked Lin to tell your department that I hope you can come to study in the UK, but I didn't expect you to insist on your choice and still rejected me. "

When I was an exchange student, the dean of the department did mention it.

Xia Xiaolan was embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I failed your kindness."

"Oh, you don't have to be sorry, it's just my idea to let you study in the UK, you are the party involved, you should have respected your idea! I heard that you went to Cornell University, which is also a very good university, Architecture is great!”

From the day we met, Catherine has been expressing kindness.

Although Xia Xiaolan was unable to go to the UK, she was very appreciative of Catherine's kindness.

After the two said a few words, Catherine remembered to introduce the people around her:

"My friend Frank, the architect, is pure English and now works in America."

Frank shook hands with Xia Xiaolan, "Catherine often talks about you. I'm very curious. This time I'm on vacation in China, just to meet you."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Frank."

Unexpectedly, Katherine brought a construction peer.

Is it a coincidence?

Xia Xiaolan has doubts.

Frank was very interested in her and kept asking her questions.

The first time they met, Xia Xiaolan didn't know the intention of her new friend, and she was not good at being neglectful.

Hearing that Frank was a foreign architect, Su Jing and others were very interested in him, and they dared to join the conversation.

Xia Xiaolan wanted to ask Catherine the origin of this person, but Catherine met other friends who had been talking to Catherine.

When the queue was over, Su Jing's excitement had not yet passed:

"Xiaolan, why is the daily life of architects that Mr. Frank talks about so much more exciting than what you talk about?"

&np The experience of the internship was told in front of the whole department... The architect did not participate in the bidding. She was still an intern. She only felt that the two months of internship were like a dog, and the essence was not exciting. Xia Xiaolan's secondary concern.

"Are you envious?"

Su Jing rolled her eyes at her, "It goes without saying that you have experienced it when you went abroad, but we haven't. After graduation, we may be assigned to a design institute or somewhere else."

There's not that kind of nervousness about bidding and fighting.

Su Jing was probably not satisfied with this.

Xia Xiaolan touched her chin, "If you want to feel the atmosphere of the firm, you don't need to go abroad. I'll introduce you to a part-time job during the summer vacation? Of course, it may not be as tall as a foreign firm, but I promise it's the business model of the firm, not the design. hospital!"

Su Jingyi is happy:

"Really? You didn't lie to me?"

"I never lie."

Xia Xiaolan nodded seriously, yes, she never lied to anyone, she was a rude person.

This time, not only Su Jing was interested, but the others also listened with pricked ears.

Xia Xiaolan introduced Yang Yonghong about part-time jobs, and did not deliberately hide it from the people in dormitory 307. According to Yang Yonghong, not only can she earn wages, but her personal gains are also very large.

What you learn outside is different from what you learn at school.

The things in the book can be confirmed in practice.

Everyone's heartbroken.

Anyway, the summer vacation is fine, why not enrich yourself?

In dormitory 307, only Zhou Limin knows the inside story best. She learned from her uncle Zhou Maotong that Xia Xiaolan had set up an architect firm in Pengcheng!

It should be this one.

Zhou Limin used to feel a little uncomfortable, but now she has adjusted her attitude. The achievements of her classmates belong to her classmates, and she has to walk her own way.

Zhou Limin said generously: "Xiaolan, if there is a place, leave one for me, I also want to go. You don't need to pay part-time wages, I mainly want to learn something."

"Can I go?"

"Count me in too!"

"Will it be too much trouble..."

Bedroom 307 has different personalities, but it is true that everyone wants to go there.

Xia Xiaolan thought about it, can her small office fit several interns in one go?

All of them are from Huaqing Architecture Department.

During the summer vacation, after finishing the junior year, it would be no problem to start with Hou Qi and Kong Yongquan, but at that time, it would be better for the firm to have other relatively large businesses.

"Okay, I'm going to ask if it's alright, and I'll remember it for you. If it's a part-time job, there must be a part of the reward. At least you can't let everyone pay for the part-time job out of your own pocket!"

She came to college just to make connections.

This is good, I kidnapped several roommates of the same class and the same major.

Frank at the party just now had been forgotten by the people in dormitory 307. They chattered around and surrounded Xia Xiaolan, and alerted the dormitory aunt:

"Have you been drinking again? Bedroom 307, have you all been drinking?"

"I didn't drink, I drank tea!"

They were checked one by one before letting them go upstairs. The dormitory aunt was strictly guarding the 307 dormitory.

Xia Xiaolan cupped her hands: "It was me who smeared the bedroom! My fault!"

"Then do you want to take the initiative to increase the cleaning to three weeks?"

"……don't want!"

...

The party is over.

Katherine and Frank leave together.

"Frank, why do you have to come to see Xia?"

"Catherine, you told me that there was a party on the Huaqing campus, and I just stopped by to meet some new friends."

Katherine frowned:

"No, you weren't interested at first, I mentioned her name, and you suddenly wanted to go with me—Frank, what are you hiding from me, it makes me uneasy. This is Huaguo, Xia is only A student, I introduced you as my friend, and she didn't take special precautions against you. I remember that you and your wife have been divorced for two years, are you..."

Are you interested?

This guess made Catherine difficult to accept.

Frank was more surprised than Katherine, "How do you think about men and women, for God's sake, I'm a dozen years older than her! Well, I've heard her name before, not because she's pretty, I don't want to come to Lie Yan! I just want to get to know this student, but unfortunately I didn't talk about more useful things with her."

Catherine hesitated, "What can you talk to a student?"

Frank raised his forehead, "It seems that you really don't know, you don't know this female student at all, right? She declined your invitation and didn't go to England, but she made a lot of noise at Cornell University in the United States. "
