1353: The Demon King Three Comes to the World (2 More)
Listening to Xia Xiaolan's tone, it seems that she is not short of money.
This Chinese girl, do you know how much it costs to file a lawsuit in the United States?
"Connie, the Franklins are here!"
The assistant knocked on the door lightly to remind her that it was a client who had an appointment with Wen Manni. Wen Manni could only hurriedly hang up the phone: "If it's an entrustment, you can take the time to come to our law firm to discuss in detail. The business card has the law firm's address."
Wen Manni is really busy.
This gave Xia Xiaolan confidence.
Lawyers who are incompetent will not be busy.
"Looks like I have to go to New York City!"
Han Jin and the others asked Xia Xiaolan to meet in New York on the weekend, but Xia Xiaolan refused because the distance was too far.
She really felt far away.
But also for what.
It's not worth making one trip for Han Jin and others, but for Grandma Yu, it's worth making ten trips! Xia Xiaolan doesn't make promises easily, but she will definitely try her best to do what she promises.
Grandma Yu is more manipulative than she is, and gave her the small building of Shangdu Erqi Square early. She trusts Xia Xiaolan so much, can Xia Xiaolan not work hard?
Xia Xiaolan decided to go to New York City next weekend.
She has a lot to do this week. Compared with clearing the McCarthy Demon King, she is familiar with the traffic rules in New York State, and going to the DMV office to apply for a driver's license is a very simple and trivial matter.
Xia Xiaolan knew how to drive, and the cars in the United States, like those in China, are all left-hand drive!
The steering wheel of the car is on the same side. Xia Xiaolan has no trouble driving. To apply for a driver's license, she needs to go to the dmv to take a set of test papers. After passing the written test, she will take the road test.
The road test is not like the subjects 1 and 2 of Huaguo in later generations... It is really a "road test", the examiner sits in the passenger seat, and the applicant drives the car directly on the road.
Will it drive, and whether the traffic rules are obeyed, isn't it clear at a glance?
"It's quite simple..."
Hu Ying asked Xia Xiaolan to practice driving: "It's not easy! The speed limit is 60 miles, and you only drive to 50 miles. This is obstructing traffic, and it is rude and disrespectful to the cars behind. The examiner will judge you to fail the test!"
This is the cultural difference.
Xia Xiaolan was used to driving in China in her last life. Points will be deducted and fines will be deducted for speeding. Isn't it normal to drive 50 if the speed limit is 60?
If Hu Ying hadn't reminded her, she would have failed the road test in a daze.
Looks like the car still needs some practice!
However, the written test is not a big problem. Xia Xiaolan bought the written test questions over the years, and it is really not difficult to do these questions for the Chinese students who have killed the single-plank bridge of the college entrance examination.
"Professor McCarthy's homework requirements are ten stars in difficulty, and the New York State dmv's written test questions can only be counted as one star in difficulty."
Before the great devil McCarthy checked his homework for the third time, Xia Xiaolan went to take the written test for applying for a driver's license.
Xia Xiaolan has lived for two lifetimes, and she has gone through countless exams.
The written test paper is sent to you, the test is all about self-consciousness, and there is no time limit...Are the Yankees very honest and self-conscious? Not necessarily, there is another reason that the cost of cheating and being caught is very high. You will be banned from taking the test for many years or for life. The written test questions of the driver's license are not difficult.
Xia Xiaolan successfully passed the written test.
In the next year, she has three road test opportunities.
Xia Xiaolan made an appointment for the latest exam by the way.
Ithaca is not a populous town, and it would be more deserted if Cornell University hadn't been in town.
However, there are still shops that sell watches, and Xia Xiaolan doesn't pick any styles.
Here, 100 US dollars can buy a very good watch, how can it be sold for thousands of dollars after traveling to China!
Seeing that Xia Xiaolan finally changed the watch in her hand, Hu Ying breathed a sigh of relief: she and Professor Wen had discussed privately, maybe she should give Xia Xiaolan a new watch, but she was afraid that Xia Xiaolan would think more.
It seems that Xia Xiaolan's economic situation doesn't need to worry, and Hu Ying doesn't have to worry about her frequent purchase of daily necessities to go home.
Don't let Xia Xiaolan buy it?
That way, Xia Xiaolan would not feel comfortable living in the Wen's house.
Naturally, Xia Xiaolan didn't know what Hu Ying and Professor Wen thought, how careful they were, and worried about hurting her self-esteem.
People who were originally strangers had to live together because of the bond of Mao Kangshan, and they had to adapt to each other.
Xia Xiaolan is adapting to life in the United States, and Professor Wen and his wife are adapting to the addition of a Chinese girl at home!
...
"You have passed the written test, will you buy a car?"
Daisy, wearing gloves, was waiting for the cement to dry out.
This is their new homework, with Xia Xiaolan's participation in the homework. After these days of running-in in the study group, Daisy and Richard initially ignored Xia Xiaolan to gradually trust her.
What Xia Xiaolan conquered them was not her wild ideas, but her ability to ask practical questions to the point.
After making up for the knowledge about building materials from last semester, Xia Xiaolan was able to find the crux of the problem for them... ok, Chinese people are very good at math, and calculating these formulas is as simple as eating and breathing, but Daisy always has a feeling, Xia Xiaolan's tone is too sure, as if she did not calculate it by calculation, but actually encountered those problems in reality!
is it possible?
Chinese people are not so crazy, right? They let undergraduates get started directly?
If Daisy asks this
If the question is asked, Xia Xiaolan will naturally not admit it—the Chinese are so crazy? There is no such crazy country in the world!
Of course, if a student majoring in architecture happens to be a real estate owner, that's another matter.
Xia Xiaolan finished calculating the last point and called Richard and Lyle to see:
"Our data is correct. Don't let Professor McCarthy ask me this time. The nervousness is completely useless... Oh, Daisy, I may buy a used car. It's too inconvenient to not have a car."
The terrain of Ithaca is ups and downs, and Cornell University is at the highest point. Riding a bicycle from Professor Wen's house to school was a real test for Xia Xiaolan's physical strength.
She had to have her own car to go to New York.
Ishaka Town has a daily round-trip bus to New York, and the time is not so suitable.
The four people in the study group have all become red-eyed rabbits. If they don't pass this time, Richard and the others will really be driven crazy.
In a blink of an eye, it was the time when the Great Demon King came to the world again.
Da da da.
The eyes of everyone in the classroom were full of sympathy.
Xia Xiaolan's group of four did not fight alone. Last time, there was another group that entered the palace three times.
Professor McCarthy walked into the classroom, "Let me see if anyone will get a d today. Chuck, can you bring up your homework? There are also exchange students from Huaguo, I hope you have better luck!"
take d?
Take a d in Professor McCarthy's hand, and basically by the end of the term, this course is a life with a d.
The fate of the disadvantage that is difficult to reverse... At Cornell University, the grades of professional courses must be C or above, and those who take D need to be retaken. If it was rebuilt, wouldn't it fall into McCarthy's hands again?
- Nightmare endless loop!
