Riding the wind of rebirth

"What is there to worry about? China is not what you think it is." Mai Xiaomiao turned her head and looked at Zhou Zhi. She was a little worried that he would be angry, but she was relieved to see that he was still smiling. "Rose, although China is still a developing country, it is a country full of vitality and development opportunities. Your impression of China is too old-fashioned."

"Oh, you know." Rose hugged Mai Xiaomiao and looked him up and down: "There are quite a few Chinese people in the mathematics department of our school. They... um..."

"Hi, my name is George and I'm from China." Zhou Zhi felt that he should take the initiative to say hello.

"Oh, sorry." Rose noticed Zhou Zhi then: "You are..."

"He is my boyfriend." Mai Xiaomiao introduced: "George, this is Rose, she is my father's student."

"Hello." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "But I am a liberal arts student, not as good as those students you met in the mathematics department."

"Oh, I'm so sorry... I didn't mean it, I didn't mean that..." Rose knew that Zhou Zhi had seen her attitude just now, and she couldn't help but look embarrassed.

"George won't be angry." Mai Xiaomiao comforted him, "His mentality won't be affected by your words."

"But I still hope you can go to China. Both tourism and food are excellent choices. In addition to air tickets, consumption is very cheap when you get there." Zhou Zhi said: "For the Great Wall, don't go to Badaling, go to Jinshanling and see the real wild Great Wall. I believe you will be shocked."

"Are you really Chinese?" Rose's eyes widened. "Your English doesn't have an Asian accent at all. It sounds like...London accent."

"Hey!" Now it was Karam's turn to be dissatisfied, and his Indian accent was quite strong.

"Our courses have always been based on British pronunciation, and it has only changed a little in recent years." Zhou Zhi switched from English to American pronunciation and smiled, "Maybe I have a talent for languages."

"Oh, how amazing!" Rose exclaimed in amazement, "Your American accent is also very authentic!"

In fact, if it were put in the previous life, that is, another 10 or 20 years later, this skill would not be a big deal. There are all kinds of talents on Tik Tok who can imitate any language vividly, and can even imitate the accents of celebrities. There are also many foreigners who can speak Chinese dialects fluently. Even if you close your eyes, you can't tell that they are foreigners speaking.

But even now, Chinese people like Zhou Zhi still seem magical to foreigners.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that just now." Rose sincerely apologized to Zhou Zhi: "I'm so happy that Xiao Miao is back. We were worried about her before. I admit that judging from her condition, China is a magical place."

"Yes," Zhou Zhi smiled and teased the foreigner, "By the way, Xiao Miao has learned a kind of Kung Fu now. She is now a Chinese swordsman."

"Really?" Rose was extremely surprised: "Lily, is what he said true?"

"Well...it's a sword technique, but it can only strengthen the body, not like what you see in the movies."

"Oh, by the way, let's go to the movies tonight." Karam thought, "Independence Day premiere! Will Smith and aliens in a dogfight, it's so exciting!"

"Oh? The premiere of "Independence Day"? You can go see it tonight." Zhou Zhi liked this movie very much in his previous life. Apart from the fact that the aliens had to choose July 16, the US Independence Day, to challenge the whole world, which was "politically correct", and the fact that the president drove a Bumblebee or an F and died together with the aliens, which was a bit too unexpected, overall it was a good movie with a good script, production, and acting.

Will Smith also became famous through this movie and embarked on the path of fighting aliens on the screen. Later, the Men in Black series also performed well.

"I just heard that movie tickets are hard to get." Rose said, "There are too many science fiction fans in New York."

"How about I make a phone call and ask?" Zhou Zhi said, "It seems that there is a movie theater downstairs in the hotel we are staying in this time."

“Yeah.” Mai Xiaomiao nodded: “It’s been a long time since I watched a movie on the big screen.” Mai Xiaomiao could only watch the latest Hollywood blockbusters in Hongqi Village after returning to Shudu with Zhou Zhi. If he was in Liangshan Prefecture, there would be no good movies to watch. Although Meigu County now has VCD rental stores, the mainstream is still TVB dramas.

Due to resource limitations, Mai Xiaomiao has now become a fan of TVB dramas. It took her a lot of spare time to finish watching the 100-episode "Big Times" trilogy.

Zhou Zhi took out a mobile phone and room card from her bag, called the number on the room card, and the call was connected immediately.

"Hello, Hilton Central Hotel, how can I help you?"

"Hello, I'm the guest of room 2903 of the hotel. Do you have any tickets for the theater's "Independence Day" tonight?"

"Mr. George, our theater's main theater is full. If you don't mind, there are still seats available in the VIP lounge, but the screen will be slightly smaller. If you want to experience the big screen, we can reserve the best seat for you tomorrow."

"There are still tickets for the VIP lounge. Do you want to see it?" Zhou Zhi asked a few people.

Mai Xiaomiao nodded: "Look."

"Let's look at the VIP room today." Zhou Zhi said to the other end of the phone: "There are still things to do tomorrow."

"OK, can we arrange a show for Mr. George at 8:30 p.m.?"

"Can"

"How many tickets does Mr. George need?"

"Four...wait a minute." Zhou Zhi covered the mouthpiece and asked Mai Xiaomiao, "Are uncle and aunt going?"

"Uncle and aunt?" Mai Xiaomiao was stunned for a moment before she realized that Zhou Zhi was referring to her parents. She was so happy that she couldn't help herself: "Don't worry about them. They can't go with us even if they want to go."

"okay."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Zhi said to Karam and Rose, "It's settled. 8:30 p.m., in the theater downstairs at Rockefeller Center."

"Yeah!" Calum and Rose high-fived each other. "Great! We'll have the popcorn that night!"

They were all young people, and after the initial unintentional misunderstanding was resolved, the conversation became pleasant. In the eyes of Karam and Rose, China was an extremely magical and mysterious place, so they began to explore Mai Xiaomiao's life in China.

Mai Xiaomiao is a die-hard fan of Zhou Zhi. During the conversation, he would always say "George taught me how to do this and that", and he even exaggerated that Zhou Zhi was mysterious and profound.

However, Mai Xiaomiao's experience during this period is indeed worthy of praise. The places she visited and the things she experienced are mysterious even in the eyes of Chinese people, let alone foreigners.

However, this kind of chat did not last long, because soon the corridor outside became lively and the students were dismissed from get out of class.

A well-mannered, middle-aged handsome man in a suit and tie pushed the door open and walked in: "Karam, Rose, are there new students?"

Just when he said this, the handsome middle-aged man threw his briefcase on the desk in disbelief, took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and put them back on: "Lily? Xiao Miao?!" (End of this chapter)
