"Hello, I’m Xu Nianhua. Please take good care of me in the future," Xu Nianhua said with a very humble attitude.
"We still need to learn from you. How did you manage to learn English so well, and how did you also master French in such a short time?" Fang Yuan asked curiously, looking at Xu Nianhua.
"Do you have any good methods for studying?" Yao Xinping was very interested in matters related to studying.
Zhuo Xiaolin was the only boy and felt embarrassed to ask, but behind those black-framed glasses, he was eagerly waiting for her answer.
The three of them were among the best in French, but when it came to exams, the first place was always rotating among them. This time it might be Fang Yuan, next time it could be Yao Xinping, and the time after that, it could be Zhuo Xiaolin.
But Xu Nianhua was different. In the English department, from entry until now, she had never ranked below first place, and she significantly outpaced those in the second and third places.
Xu Nianhua didn’t know how to begin, feeling awkward.
Professor Fei intervened, "Alright, stop bombarding her with questions. You’ll have half a month to spend together, no need to rush now." As Professor Fei spoke, he took out some documents and said, "The foreign guests coming this time want to visit friends and also tour a few places around Ningbei."
After Professor Fei finished speaking, he listed the several places they planned to visit, all located around Ningbei, the most famous spots in the area.
"Professor Fei, they’ve come all the way from France just to see friends and tour these few spots? If they don’t visit the Capital City, can it really count as having been to China?" Fang Yuan looked at the listed places, finding it unbelievable.
"Their main purpose is to visit friends. They have been to the Capital City before. This time, they mainly want to revisit familiar places," Professor Fei explained, adding, "What you need to do is accompany them, chat with them, and introduce them to things."
Xu Nianhua thought to herself, isn’t this similar to the role of a tour guide in later generations?
She asked, "Professor Fei, how old are they approximately? Besides communication in languages, do we need to prepare anything else?"
"Some are in their fifties and sixties, and some are in their twenties and thirties. As for the others, we don’t need to worry," Professor Fei said, looking at Xu Nianhua approvingly. She thinks differently.
After that, Professor Fei didn’t specifically supervise them. He just detailed the daily language applications and certain phrases they might need.
Xu Nianhua’s behavior impressed Professor Fei even more. She didn’t act arrogantly despite being treated differently. She was extremely humble toward Fang Yuan and the other two, lowering her posture and clearly showing a willingness to learn from them. Her humility and eagerness to learn justified why he specially included her.
You must know, such practical opportunities are rare, not to mention the substantial reward. The school had almost gone mad competing for these few spots, and Fang Yuan and the others had to overcome numerous challenges to earn his approval.
"Nianhua, there’s something I need to tell you. Your salary will be less than that of Fang Yuan and the others," Professor Fei said. Xu Nianhua looked at Professor Fei in shock, incredulously asking, "There’s a salary?"
