Elaine said casually: “My electric wheelchair is very heavy,”
“I’m afraid you won’t be able to lift it into the trunk.”
Horiyah nodded, helped Elaine all the way to the passenger door, and said:
“Elaine, my broken car It’s not as good as Cullinan from your family, so don’t hold it against you.”
Elaine curled her lips and said the following words:
“Your g500 is indeed incomparable to Cullinan, but I don’t pick it either.”
Horiyah helped Elaine into the car, and said with a smile,
“I also ordered a Cullinan two days ago, which is the same as yours,”
“Both of which are BB versions, but I ordered the latest model that just launched.”
“The configuration list is about 9 million, and the landing will cost more than 10 million.”
Elaine asked dumbfounded: “What are you talking about?! You also ordered a Cullinan?”
“Yes.” Horiyah took out a cowhide folder from the co-pilot’s door storage compartment,
Handed it to Elaine, and said, “See for yourself, the deposit is one million,”
“But this ordering cycle for a car is relatively long,”
“And sales say it will take half a year at the earliest, and after that,”
“I will show you the difference between the new model and the old one.”
Elaine looked down at the folder and immediately saw the logo.
She quickly opened the folder, and inside was a contract for ordering a car,
The total price of the configuration sheet was 9.1 million,
And the person who booked the car was written by Horiyah!
Not only that but there is also a receipt issued by the Rolls-Royce 4S store.
The content inside is indeed that Horiyah has received Cullinan’s deposit of one million yuan…
At this moment, Elaine was completely defensive Collapsing, according to her own rough calculations,
Horiyah can earn more than 10 million a year with the goods,
And Horiyah has just started working, and at most, she can earn a car.
How can she be so rich? ? Seeing that Horiyah had already sat in the cab,
She asked her from the bottom of her heart: “Horiyah, how on earth did you earn so much money?”
“Someone I knew speculated in futures and made some money.”
As soon as Elaine heard Horiyah’s words, she knew that she was completely fooling her,
And she probably didn’t expect that she had stumbled into her live broadcast room by accident yesterday.
Thinking of this, Elaine pretended to be surprised and said:
“Are you speculating in futures now? I saw that you made so much money,”
“I thought you were also following other people’s example of live streaming.”
“Don’t you say that live streaming is very popular now?”
“That makes money faster than stealing money! The most powerful anchor,”
“It is said that he earns more than one billion or two billion a year!”
Horiyah smiled unnaturally, and said casually: “Hey! Elaine said that live broadcasting is a new thing for young people to play.”
“We are all old ladies who have started to understand it.”
“It’s young, handsome, and beautiful celebrities, and there are many first-line stars,”
“And big entrepreneurs who go to live broadcast to sell goods,”
“Only such people can make money, and others have no chance at all.”
As she spoke, she did not forget to remind: “Let me tell you,”
“Elaine, don’t go after such illusory things if you have nothing to do, it’s useless!”
“It’s better to follow the stock market and futures, this is the proper way to make money!”
After saying this, Horiyah said again: “Oh, by the way, if you have spare money,”
“You can gather it. Later, I will ask my master to recommend some futures and stocks to you.”
“I am sure you can make a lot of money!”
Elaine heard this, and she is already scolding in her heart:
“Your b!tch, you can really pretend! You are hoarding money from live broadcast and telling me it is illusory,”
“The most annoying thing is that you are asking me not to touch it…”
“If I hadn’t seen you last night, I’m afraid I really believed your nonsense!”
“It’s fine if you don’t tell the truth, and you want to fool me,”
“To speculate in stocks and futures, do you want my mother to go bankrupt?!”
Thinking of this, Elaine cursed in her heart:
“You b!tch, aren’t you just afraid that I will find a chance to turn around in the live broadcast industry like you?”
“The more you don’t want to let me touch the live broadcast and bring the goods,”
“The more I will insist on it! Just wait, I may not be worse than you in the live broadcast!”
“Coming back tonight I will give it a try!”
“Maybe I can earn tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands in one night!”
Facing Horiyah’s flickering, Elaine was not led by her nose this time,
But was looking after herself and said: “I don’t understand stocks and futures.”
“The risk is too high and it requires a lot of capital.”
“I still think it’s easier to live broadcast and sell goods.”
“I can do it from scratch with a mobile phone. It’s no big money. What will be the loss.”
Horiyah hit her while driving, “If you want to live broadcast and sell goods,”
“You must first have something attractive. Tell me with old women like us, what can be attractive?”
Elaine muttered casually: “If it doesn’t work,”
“I’ll sell it anyway. I will say that my husband has lung cancer. Please help me.”
Horiyah seemed to have been stepped on the tail, and quickly said:
“That’s okay! Your son-in-law has a some reputation,”
“If you drag Jacob to swindle money online at home,”
“Charlie in front of those clients how embarrassing it would be for him!”
Elaine curled her lips: “It’s about making money, nothing to feel embarrassed about.”
Horiyah said: “By the way, what has that dead old woman been up to lately?”
“Why don’t you lend her to me for a few days,”
“And I’ll take her and Jacob with me to rent a rural self-built house in the suburbs for live broadcasting.”
How could Hongyan think that Elaine would find a way?
When she first thought of doing live broadcasts,
She also saw other people’s live broadcasts and short videos selling badly on the Internet.
After looking around, she found that those miserable streamers were not as fcuking miserable as herself.
Either their children are sick, or their husbands, wives, or parents are sick,
But in her situation, two elders who are paralyzed in bed,
And an old woman who is almost at the death door,
And she has been bullied by her mother-in-law for so many years.
Becoming a coolie in a coal mine got pregnant unexpectedly.
She was finally rescued and returned home, only to be beaten violently by her husband and rejected by her family.
Seeing that those who were not as miserable as herself could make money,
Horiyah changed her mind and simply arranged the room, and started a live broadcast to sell goods.
To say that Horiyah’s live broadcasts are selling misery, it is really ready-made material,
Her husband and son are almost useless, they just lie on the bed, and they don’t even need to act.
Moreover, both of them had the hospital’s diagnosis certificate,
And there was a thick pile of certificates of various injuries.
If one looked at it with reference to the diagnosis certificate,
The people lying on the bed were not two living people, but two tragedies.
Therefore, when she started live broadcasting, she immediately grasped the pain points of netizens’ psychology,
And platform algorithms. The number of fans increased, and the retention effect of fans was excellent.
And Horiyah’s real money was much more than what Elaine and Charlie had guessed.
Because the things she sells are different from other streamers. All low-quality items.
She really doesn’t pay for the order, and few of her fans will return the goods as well.
The return rate of the same product brought by others can even reach 50%,
But as soon as she got started, she dragged the family to sell it miserably,
And kept thanking, singing some sad songs, and thanking each fan for the help,
Making her fans more tolerant of her than other streamers.
Many people feel dissatisfied with buying things in her live broadcast room,
But when they think of how difficult this woman is,
Her son and husband are paralyzed on the bed and she has to clean their p00p and urine,
And there is an old woman at home who looks like she won’t live for a few years to take care of.
They think giving out money is a good deed.
Horiyah took advantage of this advantage, and unexpectedly lowered the return rate to less than 5%!
This time, her ability to sell goods was recognized by those brands.
Although the number of fans of Horiyah is not as high as those of top streamers,
Horiyah’s fan conversion rate is high and the order transaction rate is also high,
Which makes the brand also increase her commission ratio.
Now live streaming is very detrimental. Take the five towels that Horiyah brought yesterday as an example.
The production cost in the southern factory is about 15 yuan.
Due to the huge order volume, they sent the cost of logistics is about two or three yuan,
And the cost of storage and packing is added up, and the total cost is only twenty yuan,
But the live broadcast sells five items for ninety-nine yuan, and the gross profit rate is extremely high.
However, brands also have their own weaknesses. What they are most afraid of is the high return rate.
In order to protect the interests of consumers, the platform gives consumers the right to return the product within seven days without any reason.
Every time an order is sent out, the labor and logistics cost will cost five yuan.
If the product is returned by the customer in the end, the order is worth one cent If they didn’t make a profit,
They lost five yuan. Moreover, generally speaking, when these kinds of goods are returned,
They have been opened by consumers, and the packaging is damaged.
If they want to sell it again, they have to manually unpack and repack it. The cost of going back and forth is quite a lot.
Therefore, once the return rate remains high, even if it seems that the gross profit margin is high,
The real profit margin of the brand side is not much higher.
However, Horiyah’s case is different.
In her live broadcast room, the return rate is surprisingly low.
Even the broken garbage bags that leak when half filled, almost no one will return them.
And Horiyah herself is also very shrewd.
She knows very well that if she sells skin care products that cost thousands of yuan per customer,
Although the commission is higher and she can earn more,
If the consumer finds that something is not good, There is absolutely no such mentality of “just showing love”,
And they will definitely choose to return the product at the first chance.
Therefore, she has her own business book, the first one is:
The maximum unit price per customer for live broadcast delivery is only ninety-nine,
And must not exceed one hundred yuan. Only in this way can the return rate be minimized.
Because she knows that the love of consumers has an upper limit!
Nineteen-nine to buy a bunch of garbage bags, twenty-nine to buy a bunch of plastic wraps made of disposable shower caps,
Ninety-nine to buy five towels that she doesn’t know if they are pure cotton,
Even if the quality is not good, at least they can use it.
Although the garbage bags are of poor quality, they can be decorated less;
Although she doesn’t know if the plastic wrap will dry or not, it can also play a little role in covering leftovers;
even if the towel can’t be used to wash the face, it can always be used as a rag.
Anyway, the price of these things is not high, and consumers just think of it as a way to show their love when they buy something from her.
After all, seeing someone sending out water drops and being really touched,
They have to donate a hundred and eighty yuan, not to mention that they can get goods, killing two birds with one stone.
Moreover, it is very troublesome to return this kind of thing.
You have to submit a return application for review, place an order to pick it up,
Pack it up and wait for it to come to your door, and finally pay for the courier fee.
The courier fee itself is not transparent. Large customers only need a little more than two yuan,
And they can send it anywhere in the country. Individual express delivery costs at least ten yuan.
Therefore, for consumers, rather than spending a lot of trouble, it may be more cost-effective to keep things.
Because Horiyah has maintained a very low return rate, she also uses this to ask the brand to increase her commission.
For example, yesterday’s towels were delivered by someone else, and the commission for a transaction was 20 yuan,
But because Horiyah sold goods and people will rarely return them,
Her commission was as high as 30%, which was 30 yuan per order.
The brand side is also willing to give her a higher commission.
After all, the profit margin brought by Horiyah is much higher than that of ordinary streamers.
And Horiyah sold 1.1 million yuan yesterday.
According to the return rate of 5%, her commission before tax was as high as 310,000 yuan.
But yesterday was not the peak of Horiyah’s live broadcast.
The time for Charlie and the others to return was Saturday noon in New York time, that is, Sunday morning in China time.
After more than ten hours of flying, when Charlie and the others landed, it was Sunday night in China time.
The peak of live streaming is on Friday night, all day on Saturday,
And during the day on Sunday. On Sunday night, the traffic drops a lot.
Just two days ago, on Friday night, Horiyah’s live studio sold more than two million yuan.
On Saturday, she broadcast two shows in the afternoon and evening,
And sold a total of three million yuan. One and a half million more, on Sunday night, that is, last night, it was sold for 1.1 million.
In other words, Horiyah’s live broadcast sales reached 8 million in one weekend,
And the pre-tax commission was basically equal to this Mercedes-Benz Big G.
Horiyah dared to order a Rolls-Royce Cullinan just because she was making money so fast.
After all, she only needed to pay one million upfront to order the car.
After one month, the full price of this Cullinan she must have earned!
Seeing that Elaine still got into Horiyah’s car, Charlie sighed helplessly that her nature was hard to change,
And then he didn’t think about it anymore. He picked up Cullinan’s battery, drove the BMW, and drove out.
After going out, Charlie called Claudia and asked her to wait for him in the new home they have moved to.
So that he could go over today and finish Claudia’s admission application.
Issac has been in Aurous Hill for many years and is also the spokesperson of the Wade family.
His local connections can be said to be pervasive, and Aurous Hill University is naturally no problem.
This time, he has already found a reference for Claudia in advance.
After she arrives in Aurous Hill, she just needs to go to the school with the necessary documents and go through the process.
According to the address, Charlie navigated to a villa area by the river.
It is not far from the city, and not far from the large comprehensive welfare home that Charlie will invest in.
It is very convenient for Aunt Li and Xiaofen to work in the welfare home in the future.
However, it is a little far away from Aurous Hill University. Fortunately,
Aurous Hill is not too big. If you are commuting by bus, it takes about half an hour to go one way.
The university’s learning tasks are not heavy, so after Claudia enters school,
She can consider living on campus, taking part-time studies, or taking both.
The villa arranged by Issac has a usable area of more than 400 square meters.
Although it is not large in the villa, it is not like the Tomson’s where Charlie lives.
It is divided into three floors above the ground and two floors underground.
The house in this villa area, all are on the ground, so the utilization rate of the area is very high.
Moreover, this house was developed by a local developer friend of Issac’s.
Issac knew the quality of the house’s construction and decoration, so he felt more at ease when buying a house here.
Charlie parked the car at the entrance of the villa, and as soon as he got out of the car,
Xiaofen waved to him in the yard: “Brother Charlie!” After finishing speaking,
She came over to help Charlie open the courtyard door with a look of surprise.
Seeing that she seemed to be dealing with green plants in the yard, Charlie asked with a smile,
“Why did you get up so early in the morning to clean up the yard?”
Xiaofen said with a smile: “There are a lot of green plants and flowers in the yard,”
“But I feel that the layers are not well matched, so I want to adjust it.”
Charlie asked her: “Where is Aunt Li?” “She went for shopping.” Xiaofen Said:
“There is a big supermarket not far from the community, and there are all kinds of daily necessities for home,”
“So Auntie went there to buy something.”
Charlie nodded and asked, “Where’s Claudia?”
Xiaofen smiled, and said in a low voice: “She’s putting on makeup,”
“She seems to be looking forward to going to school, she’s been talking to me all morning.”
As soon as Xiaofen finished speaking, Claudia, who was a mixture of East and West, opened the door and came out.
Today’s Claudia is very young and beautiful, wearing a pure white T-shirt, paired with a light gray plaid midi skirt,
And two fluffy golden braids on the left and right, she looks very sunny and lively,
Unlike the whole day before Compared with the expressionless, bitter little girl, she was a completely different person.
Seeing Charlie at the door, she said abruptly, “Brother Charlie, you are here…”
Xiaofen saw the well-dressed Claudia, and exclaimed, “Why are you going to school?”
“I’m afraid you’re going to debut in a group! Or I think you’ll stop going to school this year,”
“And go to a domestic talent show first, maybe you’ll be popular!”
Claudia smiled a little shyly, and asked her back: “Sister Xiaofen, how can I form a group by myself? How about we two?”
Xiaofen pouted and muttered: “Two people are called a combination,”
“And a girl group needs seven or eight members at least.” Talent like you can do it…”
Claudia smiled and said: “Then we have at least two of them first, and we have taken the first step bravely.”
Xiaofen snorted and said, “I don’t want to form a group with you,”
“The orphanage is still waiting for me and Aunt Li to take good care of it!”
Charlie also said to Claudia at this time: “Claudia, if you have nothing else,”
“Let’s go now. The dean of the school and the person in charge of recruiting overseas undergraduates have already arrived,”
“And it’s basically enough to meet and go through the process.”
“Okay!” Claudia nodded quickly, then turned to Xiaofen and said, “Miss Xiaofen, then I’ll go first!”
Xiaofen said with a smile, “When you get the notice, Aunt Li and we will celebrate!”
Charlie raised his eyebrows: “Count me in,”
“You tell Aunt Li that she has to work hard to cook more special dishes at noon today.”
Xiaofen said excitedly: “Really? Then I will go to the supermarket to find Auntie,”
“We will come back with some delicious food!”
Charlie asked her, “Do you want me to drop you there?”
Xiaofen waved her hands: “You two go first, I have to change clothes, I can’t go out in pajamas.”
Charlie nodded, greeted Claudia to get into the car, then said goodbye to Xiaofen, and drove towards Aurous Hill University.
When the car drove out of the community, Claudia asked a little timidly:
“Brother, will the enrollment matter cause you too much trouble?”
“No.” Charlie said with a smile: “At Aurous Hill University If you want to engage as int student you have certain tasks,”
“If the number of international students cannot reach a certain number each year,”
“The person in charge may have to bear performance pressure.”
“Besides, your grades in Canadian high school are also excellent in character and learning,”
“Although there are certain requirements. Even if you apply for Aurous Hill University by yourself,”
“You are basically guaranteed, but the process is a little more complicated,”
“And the reference I asked to find can help you simplify these processes.”
Only then did Claudia feel relieved. She was most afraid that coming to China by herself would cause too much trouble for Charlie.
After all, in her heart, Charlie had already done too much for her.
It is different from the state when she was working in Aunt Li’s convenience store.\
At that time, she lost her family and everything, and all she wanted was revenge.
But now, she has changed the environment and started again.
Having trustworthy new family members, the whole person has become a little cautious.
Charlie also felt this change in her, so he said seriously: “Claudia, in Aurous Hill,”
“Aunt Li, Xiaofen, and I are your family members. Aunt Li is your mother, and Xiaofen is your family.”
“My sister, I am your elder brother, you are the youngest sister in this family,”
“You should be taken care of by us, so you must not have any thoughts that will cause us trouble,”
“We will never feel that the family members who need our help, or you are causing us trouble.”
Claudia was naturally moved when she saw Charlie’s resolute words.
Although she believed in the character of Aunt Li and Xiaofen, they have not related by blood after all,
And she didn’t have any living relatives, so it was inevitable that she would feel like she was dependent on others.
When such children are young, they will understand this feeling in their hearts.
However, Charlie’s words made her realize that he really regarded her as a relative,
And regarded her as a younger sister who needed careful care.
This also made the feeling of not belonging like duckweed in her heart be diluted by most of it in an instant.
Charlie continued at this time: “In the next four years, you can work and live in Aurous Hill.”
“When you graduate from university, if you want to continue your studies, I will fully support you.”
“If you want to work, I will fully support you. If you Tell me, you have always been in Aurous Hill, and you can’t even find a sense of belonging in this country.”
“If you want to go back to Canada, I will personally send you back.”
“I just want you to know that from now on, as a brother, I will do my best.”
“As far as I can, you will have no worries no matter where you are.”
Claudia was moved by Charlie’s words, her eyes were red, and while she nodded repeatedly, and tears fell silently.
Charlie grew up in the orphanage. He understood Claudia’s mood at this moment too well.
Back then, he was completely ignorant of everything Leon had arranged.
He curled up in a corner of the dormitory of the Aurous Hill orphanage and cried until dawn.
Today, Claudia is going through almost the same process as he was then.
That’s why he pays special attention to Claudia, hoping to use his attitude,
And actions to untie all the knots in her heart and face her future life calmly and optimistically.
Therefore, Charlie told her about his experience in the orphanage, hoping that she could find resonance with him.
When Charlie described his mental state in detail back then,
Claudia really felt a strong resonance in her heart.
It was also at this moment that she suddenly realized that Charlie might be the one who understands her best in this world.
Even Xiaofen couldn’t do this.
Because Xiaofen was abandoned and adopted since birth,
And then was taken into an orphanage, and she and Charlie were both the happiest children in the world who thought they had everything,
But in the end, they just watched helplessly, as all of this was brutally taken away.
Xiaofen had never experienced this kind of trauma, so she couldn’t really understand Claudia’s heart.
The two chatted all the way, not only did Claudia feel that she had found resonance with Charlie,
But Charlie also found the same feeling from this girl who was ten years younger than him.
Fortunately, neither of them is that kind of pessimist, so they talked a lot about common topics,
And soon they talked about a different kind of optimism that is indescribable and detailed from the same painful experience.
During the chat, the car had already arrived at the gate of Aurous Hill University.
At this time, Aurous Hill University was on vacation,
But what Charlie didn’t expect was that there were many staff members at the gate of the school,
Busy preparing for something, and even blocked the way of the car.
Charlie briefly honked the horn, and a staff member hurried over and said to Charlie apologetically,
“Excuse me sir, we have to pull up a banner and pull up your car for a while.”
Charlie nodded in understanding, and said, “It’s okay, then I’ll wait for a while.”
“Thank you, we can finish it in a few minutes.”
The man thanked him, turned around, and went to work with other colleagues.
Soon, a red banner was pulled up from both sides of the school gate and hung high above the archway of the school gate.
Charlie looked up and saw the banner saying: “Warmly welcome Mr. and Mrs. Larry Qiu to our school.”
Charlie seemed to have heard of the name Larry Qiu, but for a while, he forgot where he heard it.
At this time, the staff member ran over and asked politely: “What are you going in for?”
Charlie said: “I have an appointment with Mr. Issac Chen.”
The man suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: “Mr. Chen has already gone in, please follow!”
When Charlie drove the car to the front of the Academic Affairs Building of the University, Issac was already waiting there.
Seeing Charlie stop the car, he quickly stepped forward to help him open the car door,
And said respectfully: “Master, I have made arrangements for the school.”
“Claudia only needs to fill out an application form and submit the materials. Then she can choose a major directly.”
Charlie nodded, remembering the banners he saw outside, and asked him:
“Have you heard of Larry Qiu? I think this person sounds familiar.”
“Larry Qiu…” Issac said quickly: “Master Qiu, Mr. Qiu is the richest man in Southeast Asia in the true sense.”
“It’s just that he deliberately split up the family’s business a few years ago,”
“So he was dropped from the major rankings. However,”
“The strength of the Qiu family in Southeast Asia is still very strong.”
After that, Issac asked: “Did you see them hanging banners at the gate?”
“When I came, they were dismantling them, and I asked about it,”
“And then I realized that it was Larry Qiu who was coming to visit Aurous Hill University “
Charlie suddenly remembered something, and said, “When I was studying at Aurous Hill University,”
“I seemed to have heard of this person. It is said that he donated a lot of money to the University?”
Issac nodded and said, “That’s right, he is an economist.”
“After the opening up, the first batch of overseas Chinese who returned to China for construction,”
“Donated 500 million to Aurous Hill University in the 1990s, which was a huge sum back then.”
“I see.” Charlie tapped lightly. Nodding,
He just thought that maybe the old man was planning to come back to Aurous Hill University, so he didn’t take it too seriously.
At the same time.
A private jet transformed from an Airbus A330 landed smoothly at Aurous Hill Airport.
Maria and Larry were on this plane.
Since Malaysia is also in the East, there is no time difference with Aurous Hill,
So Maria originally planned to fly from Penang to China at eight o’clock this morning.
In this case, she will arrive in Aurous Hill around two o’clock in the afternoon, and there will be no delay in enrolling things.
But after she lay down last night, for some reason,
She tossed and turned in bed, and it was difficult to fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.
She tried to calm down her mind, but no matter what methods she tried,
Her heart always felt flustered, as if there were faint signs of palpitations.
In desperation, she could only comfort herself, telling herself that she would leave for Aurous Hill tomorrow morning,
To the place where Charlie disappeared in the first place, maybe she could really get her wish and meet him in Aurous Hill.
Thinking of this, Maria’s heart felt much better,
But instead, there was a sense of urgency that counted every second.
Agitated, she could only ask Larry to prepare for the flight overnight,
And arrive in Aurous Hill several hours ahead of schedule.
In order not to delay the admission process for Maria,
Larry asked someone to greet the principal of the University in advance,
But he did not let his subordinates reveal the purpose of his visit to the University this time,
But only told him that he wanted to go back to the University for a one-time visit.
Naturally, the school attaches great importance to this distinguished guest.
They made banners overnight, and even the principal prepared to greet and accompany him in person.
The other vice principals, as well as several sub-principals,
Immediately suspended their vacation and rushed back to the school to prepare for it.
Issac took Charlie and Claudia into the Academic Affairs Building and came to the Admissions Office.
At this time, the director of the admissions office is already waiting here.
Seeing Issac coming, the director said very politely:
“Oh Mr. Chen, long time no see, you still look so handsome!”
Issac smiled slightly and said, “Director Liu, I will trouble you this time.”
Then Director said with a smile:
“Mr. Chen and you don’t have to be so polite, but it’s just a matter of little effort.”
“Besides, recruiting more international students is also an enrollment task that we attach great importance to recently.”
“Speaking of which, Mr. Chen, you are helping me complete my tasks. Good for my performance appraisal.”
Issac laughed, introduced Claudia to him, and said,
“Director Liu, this is the distant relative I am talking about, Claudia.”
“She was born and raised in Canada, and she also studied there.”
“The person next to me is also my distant relative, Claudia’s cousin.”
Director Liu and Charlie nodded, then smiled and said to Claudia:
“Hello, Claudia, this is the Admissions Office of Aurous Hill University Director,”
“My name is Raymond Liu, and welcome to Aurous Hill University.”
Claudia said very politely: “Hi Director Liu,”
“If I am lucky enough to study at Aurous Hill University, I hope you will take care of me!”
Director Liu said in surprise: “You…your Chinese is so good!”
Issac who was on the side said, “Claudia is a Chinese-Italian mixe,”
“And her mother was from our Aurous Hill.”
“Oh, no wonder!” Director Liu nodded repeatedly and sighed:
“Then the choice of Aurous Hill University still has some roots.”
As he said, he asked Claudia: “By the way, have you brought your passport and file materials?”
“I will help you to enter the information, and you can choose a major.”
“Brought it!” Claudia quickly handed over the materials she had prepared.
Director Liu opened the file bag, looked through the information in it carefully, and exclaimed:
“Your high school grades are very good! To be honest,”
“I have also met a lot of international students, but I haven’t met someone like you yet.”
“The grades are great, almost all of them are A!”
Claudia said modestly: “There was a bit of a decline in the last year,”
“Because something happened at home and I didn’t go to school much.”
Director Liu nodded, smiled, and said: “You are already perfect.”
“To be honest, you should have no problem applying for international students at Tsinghua University with this information.”
“In our case, it is even more of a leniency!”
After that, he quickly took out a stack of materials, handed them to Claudia, and introduced:
“This is all related materials of our Aurous Hill University’s departments.”
“First, you can see which major you are more interested in. We will Log your information into the system.”
“Okay thank you!” Claudia took the information and began to look through it very seriously.
As a double-first-class university, Aurous Hill University has a very comprehensive department construction.
There are dozens of departments and hundreds of majors. It is really dazzling to choose.
Claudia looked around, thought for a long time, and said,
“I want to apply for the archeology major in the School of History.”
“Archaeology?” Not to mention Director Liu’s surprise, even Charlie was a little surprised.
Then Director Liu said earnestly: “Claudia, the major of archeology is really unpopular,”
“And the employment opportunities in the future are very narrow.”
“In our archeology major. There are not even fifty people from freshman to senior year,”
“Each Class, there are only ten people hardly, do you want to think about it again?”
Claudia shook her head lightly, and said: “Just choose this one,”
“Although I am half Chinese, but I don’t know much about Chinese history.”
“There are many, but if I choose history as a major,”
“I am afraid it will be too boring.”
“Archeology should be combined with practice to better understand Chinese culture and history.”
Director Liu smacked his lips and asked her:
“That… …You don’t think about the issue of employment at all?”
Claudia said seriously: “About that issue, let’s wait until graduation to think about it!”
At a young age, Claudia lost interest in materials and money when her peers first realized the importance of it.
The tragic death of her family made her take these things very lightly.
In this life, she does not expect to be rich, nor does she pursue a good life or a high social status.
She only hopes to respect her own. Live well with her heart calm,
So that the spirits of her family members in heaven can feel relieved.
Therefore, looking at so many majors, she has no interest in other majors, but archaeology makes her yearn for it.
This is not only because she wants to know more about China,
But also because she wants to avoid dealing with too many people as much as possible.
What archaeologists study every day are all kinds of historical sites and cultural relics,
And the major is unpopular, and there are not many classmates,
Which is more in line with her selection criteria.
So, she made up her mind on the spot to apply for archaeology.
And Charlie is also very supportive of this.
He knows that the majors that many college students apply for are not the ones they like.
The scores of cultural subjects have dropped enough, and the same is true for music and physical education.
As for those students admitted to ordinary universities, because of their scores,
They may not be able to choose their favorite majors.
As long as their scores are not high enough, they basically have to settle for the next best thing,
Or even compromise and obey adjustments.
And Claudia clearly knows what she wants, which is already luckier than most college students.
Seeing that she has made up her mind, Director Liu immediately nodded and said,
“Since you really like archeology, then I’ll arrange for you to go to the Department of Archeology.”
As he said that, he took out a bunch of forms, took out a pen, handed it to her, and said,
“Your conditions in all aspects have met our requirements for recruiting foreign students,”
“So you should use these forms in full accordance with your own.”
“Just fill in the situation. All the items with asterisks must be filled in.”
“The others can be left blank.”
“I just produced and sent out a batch in a unified way a few days ago,”
“And the next batch may have to wait for about a week,”
“And I will arrange to mail it to you as soon as possible.”
Claudia nodded and thanked: “Thank you, it is hard work for you!”
Director Liu smiled slightly, looked at Issac on the side, and said seriously
“My friendship with Mr. Chen is here, so there is no need to say thank you for this matter.”
“In the future, at the University, if you need help with anything,”
“Contact me at any time, I will deal with it as soon as possible.”
Then, he took out a business card from the cardholder on the desk,
Handed it to Claudia, and said: “There is my Mobile phone number, available 24 hours a day.”
Claudia thanked him again and then began to fill in her information.
When she filled in the emergency contact column, she saw an asterisk on it,
So she paused for a moment, but quickly bypassed this column,
And after filling in the other contents, she opened her mouth and said:
“Director, can I write this emergency contact later?
“My godmother and sister have just returned from Canada,”
“And we haven’t had time to get a domestic mobile phone number.”
Director Liu nodded, and said casually:
“It’s okay, you’ll fill it up later. Yes, just don’t forget.”
Charlie said at this time: “Claudia, just fill in my mobile phone number,”
“If there is any emergency, contacting me is more effective than contacting Auntie.”
Claudia hesitated for a moment, then nodded lightly,
Picked up the pen again, and wrote the word Charlie Wade on this column,
Then looked at Charlie with big blue eyes, and asked softly
“Brother, what’s your phone number?”
Charlie reached out to ask Claudia for the pen and wrote down his phone number behind his name.
Afterward, Claudia handed the information to Director Liu.
After going through it carefully, Director Liu said,
“Okay, there are basically no other problems.”
“The admission notice will be mailed to the above address when the time comes,”
“And there will be a reporting time on it.”
“When the time comes, report and enroll according to the time. These formalities are enough.”
After that, he asked Claudia, “Do you have any relatives in Aurous Hill?”
Claudia nodded, “My godmother is in Aurous Hill.”
Director Liu asked, “Then do you have any relatives?” Do you plan to live on campus or come to school?”
Claudia asked back: “Can I only choose one of the two?”
Director Liu nodded: “Theoretically, it is, because a day-study agreement needs to be signed with the school,”
“Because some personal safety is involved. Liability issues, so the process is more troublesome.”
“The default is that if you choose to go to school, you can no longer apply for living on campus.”
“However, if you want to live on campus occasionally, it is not impossible.”
“I can say hello to the logistics side.”
“After you are assigned a mentor, I will also say hello to the instructor.”
Claudia breathed a sigh of relief: “That would be great!”
She thinks, as she will study and live in Aurous Hill for at least four years in the future.
And Aunt Li and Xiaofen have always taken extra care of her,
So in the next four years, she also worried whether she would cause too much trouble for Aunt Li and Xiaofen.
Therefore, she also hoped that there would be one more alternative.
In the future, if she can go to school and live on campus,
It will be more convenient overall. If Aunt Li and Xiaofen are busy with work,
She can also choose to live on campus,
So as not to be distracted from taking care of her while they are busy with work.
Director Liu stamped a few chapters on Claudia’s information, and said to her:
“Okay, the procedures have been completed, just wait for the notice.”
Then, he asked Issac: “Mr. Chen, Do you want me to show you around the school?”
“Familiarize yourself with it in advance.”
Issac smiled and said, “This is too much trouble for you,”
“I see you have put up banners outside to welcome distinguished guests?”
“Yes.” Director Liu smiled. : “There are indeed distinguished guests coming.”
“The school’s principal, executive vice principal, and several other officials are here,”
“Even the old principal who has retired for nearly ten years is coming.”
“However, people won’t be there for a while, so I’m asking the security guard,”
“To drive a car over to take you around and visit the foreign student dormitory.”
“The standard of our foreign student dormitory is very high.”
“It’s a room for two people with a bed and table, and Claudia should like it.”
Issac looked at Charlie, saw him nodding slightly, and smiled, “Okay, I’ll thank you then.”
Director Liu hurriedly said “Why are you so polite? You usually help me a lot.”
Just as they were talking, someone knocked on the door suddenly.
Director Liu said please come in,
And a middle-aged woman pushed open the door and leaned halfway in hurriedly said:
“Director Liu, the VIP is coming soon! The principal told us to go downstairs and wait for the reception!”
Hearing what the woman said, Director Liu asked in surprise:
“Huh? So fast? Didn’t you say that they might arrive at noon or afternoon?”
Saying that she looked at the three guests and said,
“Now I guess we can’t make it to the school gate to meet them, so we can only wait downstairs!”
The new campus of Aurous Hill University covers an area of about 5,000 acres,
And the distance from the school gate to the academic building is a considerable distance,
If a group of middle-aged and elderly people really walked there, it would take at least ten or twenty minutes.
The woman said, “Director Liu, hurry up,”
“The principal asked me to be downstairs in three minutes, and I have to notify the others.”
After saying this, the woman withdrew.
When Director Liu heard this, he could only say to Issac apologetically:
“President Chen, I’m really sorry, the incident happened so suddenly,”
“Please come back another day, if you have time!”
Hearing this Issac said, “Let’s meet at the hotel someday, and I’ll be the host!”
Director Liu nodded quickly, and said: “Okay,”
“I’ll definitely come to bother you when I’m done with recruiting students these days.”
He said with some embarrassment: “By the way, Mr. Chen, my son found a girlfriend,”
“And suddenly told me that he has obtained a flash marriage certificate and is going to get married on October 1st.”
“He is currently looking at a wedding banquet hotel, but October 1st is a For the big day,”
“Most of the hotel banquet halls were fully booked a few months ago,”
“And he and his fiancée are both young people who care about face,”
“And have always wanted to hold it in Shangri-La. I wonder if there is any vacancy in Shangri-La?”
Issac said without hesitation: “Old Liu, don’t worry, this matter is on me.”
“The hotel rooms and banquet halls in Shangri-La are never sold out.”
“On the first day of the month, the best Splendid Years was also specially vacated,”
“Which is the banquet hall of Shangri-La second only to the Sky Garden.”
“You asked your son and your daughter-in-law to come to Shangri-La to find me,”
“And I will take them to see the venue in person. As long as they like it, this place is for you to use.”
“Oh!” Director Liu suddenly became excited, and said gratefully:
“Thank you so much, Mr. Chen! You really solved my urgent need!”
“I will take them to Shangri-La in the afternoon to visit!”
In China, It is very common to get married and get together with others on specific dates.
The main reason is that in a year, there may be less than one-tenth of the big and happy days that are suitable for marriage,
And almost all weddings will be held on the auspicious days that are suitable for marriage,
So as long as it is a good day, there can be several couples holding weddings in one community at the same time.
October 1st itself is a good day for the whole country to celebrate,
And it coincides with the seven-day long holiday,
And the weather at that time is the most comfortable time in most places,
So more people choose to get married on this day.
On such a good day, if you don’t start half a year in advance, it will be difficult to book your favorite hotel.
Director Liu’s son is getting married again in a flash,
And he has only about two months left, and it is almost impossible to book a high-end hotel.
Because of this matter, Director Liu’s family was not less anxious.
Director Liu also wanted to ask Issac for help before, but at that time Issac happened to be abroad,
So he exchanged some pleasantries,
And he didn’t have the nerve to speak again when he heard that Issac was abroad.
Today happened to be when Issac came to him for business,
So he tentatively raised his problem.
