Chapter 72: Eating Ones Fill

  ♂?,,

  Leading the way towards Lin Hong and his group was a man in his early forties, of average height, with a shiny bald head.

  He had a smile on his face and walked quickly over, saying:

  "Director, what a coincidence! Just back from Lingnan Province?"

  Feng Wan nodded: "I had something to attend to in Lingnan Province and was delayed for two days, so I didn't arrive with everyone else. I just got off the plane."

  His name is Li Weiguo, the director of the "Americas and Oceania" Affairs Department, nominally under Feng Wen, but Feng Wen does not have jurisdiction over this area.

  As Feng's superior, if he hadn't greeted him, he could have left calmly. Since he had already come over to greet him, it wouldn't be good to leave like that, so he followed him over and exchanged greetings with the principal and several teachers from Beijing, mainly to meet the person leading the American team and show concern and welcome.

  The team leader from the US is named Roy Cook, who is in charge of the external exchange department at Boston Latin School. He appears to be around thirty years old, and is extremely tall, estimated to be over 1.9 meters.

  In the United States, there is a saying "Harvard first, then America". In Boston, Massachusetts, however, people say "Latin first, then Harvard". The Latin referred to here is Boston Latin School (BL), which was founded in 1635, while Harvard was founded in 1636. Latin predates Harvard by one year. However, Latin is a high school and Harvard is a university.

  Boston Latin School is the oldest and one of the best public high schools in the United States. It not only ranks first in the Boston Public Schools' ranking, but also far surpasses the second place. Beijing No. 4 High School is also one of the best high schools in Beijing. Although this student exchange between China and the US is just a trial run, both sides attach great importance to it. In fact, the political significance of this pilot program outweighs its academic significance.

  As the deputy director of the International Cooperation and Exchange Department, Feng Wan not only speaks fluent English but also Latin and Romanian. With her good looks and temperament, she has excellent social skills and a unique charm. After just a few sentences of conversation, Mr. Cook was already deeply impressed and admiring of her.

  Although Feng Wan is already over thirty, there is no sign of age on her. At this moment, she is wearing a white windbreaker and chatting with American guests. Her temperament not only conquered Roy, but also conquered everyone present.

  Among these people, Xu Wenjing may be one of the most admired ones.

  Generous without losing elegance, noble yet peaceful, listening to her speak is like a spring breeze, wherever she stands is the center.

  From young to old, apart from her mother, it seemed that no other woman could give her this kind of feeling.

  And this is also the kind of temperament she has been pursuing.

  She hastily raised her camera and took a photo of herself and the foreigner shaking hands, then dedicated most of the film to her.

  If she wasn't here, the people in charge would be Principal Zhang and Director Li, but now she's become the main host. As for this, neither Principal Zhang nor Director Li had any objections, after all, although they both understand some English, they can't have a fluent conversation with each other directly, and the translator they invited this time isn't very good either, saying that Mr. Cook's accent is too heavy, his speech is too fast, so sometimes he has to repeat two or three times before they can figure out what he means.

  Now it's fine, with Director Feng taking care of the reception, it's naturally impossible to ask for more. Looking at Luo Yi's attitude, it seems that this reception will definitely satisfy the other party. The two of them secretly wiped away the cold sweat on their foreheads.

  Today, I've taken a car, train, and plane, all three modes of transportation. I'm also feeling quite tired myself. With Lin Hong by my side, Feng Wan had originally wanted to head home directly. But things have come to this point, she has no choice but to apologize with a few glances at Lin Hong, hoping he can understand.

  Sun Guoweng and others couldn't get a word in edgewise beside him, after a while they had no choice but to bid farewell with Sun Wu and leave.

  Sun Wu hastily got his home phone number and told Lin Hong to calm down, saying it was okay to just call him to hang out.

  Then, Lin Hong followed the main team and boarded a luxurious bus specially rented by S University.

  Roy and the other two foreigners were in high spirits at this moment, with one question after another popping out of their mouths, and Feng Wan had no choice but to smile and answer them.

  Lin Hong sat beside his mother, not saying a word, just quietly staying there. The conversation between his mother and Roy, except for some more obscure vocabulary, he basically could understand. When his mother was introducing the old foreigner, he was also understanding this city of Beijing from it.

  Looking out of the car window at the various buildings and vehicles flashing by, he no longer felt as surprised as before.

  After about forty minutes of driving, the bus stopped in front of a magnificent building.

  "This is where we will be staying temporarily, the Jingcheng Youyi Hotel..." Feng Wan introduced in English to Roy and the others. Under their inquiry, she had no choice but to give them a brief introduction to the history of the Youyi Hotel.

  The Youyi Hotel is currently the largest garden-style three-star hotel in Asia, built in the second half of 1954. Its predecessor was the State Council's Western Suburbs Reception Office, mainly used to receive Soviet experts in Beijing. It was renamed Youyi Hotel in 1956 and began receiving other tourist foreigners in March 1973.

  Lin Hong also noticed that the hotel building was simple and elegant, with a strong Chinese national style, and there were always other foreigners coming in and out of the gate.

  The Ministry of Education had already booked a room here and after settling Roy and the others in, they went straight to lunch.

  This was Lin Hong's first time dining at a hotel, and the dishes here were basically all things he had never eaten before. Not only did they smell good, but the portions were also very generous.

  Under everyone's astonished gaze, he ate his fill from a young age for the first time, and simply devoured three or four adult portions.

  Feng Wan saw the situation and could only force a smile to explain: "I'm afraid we've made fools of ourselves, we just flew over from Lingnan Province and haven't eaten anything all day, maybe we're really starving."

  Actually, she was not feeling well in her heart at this moment. She had heard Lin Changming say that his son had a big appetite, but he didn't expect the amount of food to be so large. It seemed that when he was in the countryside, he usually couldn't eat enough, and it was really hard for him.

  The people present did not have any intention of ridiculing him, they were just slightly surprised. Many people looked at Lin Hong's small belly and couldn't imagine how it could hold so many things.

  The director's son is really a big eater, he can actually eat so much. Xun Wenjing thought to herself on the side.

  Lin Hong just ate too much and didn't care about his image. After realizing it, he felt a bit embarrassed and happened to feel like urinating, so he took the opportunity to go to the toilet to avoid everyone's strange gaze.

  He said a word to his mother and followed the hotel service staff to the toilet, but when he got up, Feng Wan whispered a sentence to remind him to pay attention to Mr. Cook, who had gone to the toilet before and had not returned within the normal time.
