1459: Hate Iron Is Not Steel (Plus)
May 8th.
Xia Xiaolan ushered in the day of the final exam at Cornell University.
This is also the time when Jiang Yan underwent Dr. Bellman's surgery.
No matter how ruthless Zhou Cheng is, he should go to the hospital at this time. After all, Jiang Yan is going to undergo the first repair operation in a foreign country. She has no relatives around, and it will definitely be more reassuring to have friends.
Xia Xiaolan happily approves Zhou Cheng's passing:
"You don't want to go back to Ithaca tonight. It's so troublesome to run around. Don't you want to pick up my mother and Grandma Yu at the airport tomorrow? Just live in New York tonight."
Jiang Yan had an operation in the afternoon, and Zhou Cheng left after seeing Xiaolan entering the examination room.
"Take a good test and let the people at Cornell take a look. My daughter-in-law is the best wherever she goes."
Zhou Cheng has confidence in Xia Xiaolan.
Daisy and the others were worried. Xia Xiaolan actually took a week off before the exam. She didn't see her review, and they didn't know how the exams would go. The only thing you don't need to worry about is Professor McCarthy's "Structural Elements". The homework is usually done very well. Xia Xiaolan is at least an A. Whether or not she can get an A+ depends on how the big devil judges.
Professor Lipton, who was unfortunately hit by a stray bullet at the cw award ceremony, was also discharged from the hospital, and appeared on the campus of Cornell University when the exam week came. However, it took time for the wound to heal completely, and Professor Lipton's actions were slow. swallowed.
He would like to thank his colleague McCarthy, who did not abandon him in a critical moment, but risked being hit by a stray bullet to stop his bleeding.
Watching the students begin to enter the classroom for exams, Professor Lipton hummed:
"Do you value the exchange student from China? I prefer the designer of "Library on the Cliff", her works are full of spirituality, students don't need to consider so many practical issues, pure design can be better...Professor McCarthy , are you listening to me?"
Abominable hook nose.
Although he was treated, he was still very unpleasant, and Professor Lipton felt that McCarthy did not respect him enough for not listening to him!
McCarthy's hooked nose revealed an "I'm not happy" emotion, and even Professor Lipton could see it. He valued Xia Xiaolan, but Xia Xiaolan refused the invitation of the p&w firm and his proposal.
Xia Xiaolan is unwilling to stay in Cornell!
Why?
Was Cornell not good enough, or did he not teach well enough!
What a confused Chinese girl.
If Xia Xiaolan refused, even if she was beaten to death by McCarthy's temper, she would not tell anyone.
In fact, Ning Xue also rejected the invitation of p&w firm, but McCarthy was not angry at all. Because Ning Xue told him that he wanted to work in a German gmp firm, students had the freedom to choose a firm. Ning Xue obviously had her own clear plan for her career future, and McCarthy respected her choice very much.
P&W can invite Ning Xue, according to the current trend, it is normal for Ning Xue to go to gmp.
But Xia Xiaolan... Xia Xiaolan was joking about her career future. Would it be better to return to China than to stay at Cornell?
impossible!
The world's top architectural firms simply do not recognize the architectural qualifications in China.
On the platform of Cornell University, the circle that can be touched by tiptoe, it is extremely difficult to return to China.
McCarthy's anger, in the old Chinese saying, is to hate that iron cannot become steel, and Professor Lipton can't understand his mood at all.
McCarthy withdrew his gaze.
Such a student who does not seek to make progress, still wants to get an A+ from him?
snort!
"No, I don't value her, she doesn't deserve my attention!"
Professor McCarthy's answer stunned Lipton.
Not valued, not worth it?
In the cw finals, what kind of championship are you fighting for her!
Lipton thinks he's been fooled, and this anger overwhelms his gratitude to McCarthy:
"Don't be so careful, I won't rob you of this female student!"
...
In the classroom, Xia Xiaolan had no idea that the two professors were having trouble because of her.
She couldn't estimate how disappointed Professor McCarthy was with her. Xia Xiaolan was very serious about everything, and she had to take exams seriously. When she returned to China, her transcripts were all swiped with an "a". Comrade Lao Mao would Thankfully, Huaqing Architecture Department also recognized it.
"At this time, my mother and grandma Yu should have boarded the plane from Hong Kong."
Tang Hongen asked Min Xiaoju to come together. Xia Xiaolan was not worried about the safety of Liu Fen and Grandma Yu on the way, but there were accidents when they were out, and Liu Fen and Grandma Yu did not arrive in New York, and Xia Xiaolan would always miss them.
Efforts to suppress distracting thoughts, Xia Xiaolan decided to concentrate on the exam.
She only took one class a day, and when she finished the exam, Zhou Cheng hadn't even arrived in New York.
It was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that Zhou Cheng called Wen's house from the New York hospital:
"Not long after I arrived, Jiang Yan's surgery has already started."
"Oh, how is she doing?"
How is the status?
I must have been happy to see him coming, and we talked to him for a while while preparing for the operation.
"It seems very confident that Jiang Yan can get to know Dr. Bellman better in the hospital these two days, and the two sides have established a good relationship of trust."
That is in good condition.
What is resentful is the operation, and the one who is happy is the operation. The patient's mood affects the progress of the recovery. It is best for Jiang Yan to face it positively. not in vain
She took the initiative to let Zhou Cheng go to New York, Xia Xiaolan thought about it, she was really too kind.
By the time Jiang Yan was pushed out of the operating room, it was almost 7pm, Zhou Cheng called Xia Xiaolan again:
"Dr. Bellman said the first operation was a success!"
"That's good."
Xia Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you going to stay in the hospital tonight?"
It still feels weird to have a nurse around.
Zhou Cheng may also feel that he can no longer ignore Jiang Yan's gender differences as before.
Since you know that Jiang Yan likes him, and he can't respond, then don't do things that make Jiang Yan misunderstood:
"No, I'll wait until her anesthetic wears off and she's awake before leaving. Don't worry if I don't have a place to live. Director Deng and the others are still in New York, so I can go there for a night."
Xia Xiaolan coughed lightly: "Comrade Zhou Cheng, I want to praise you for taking the initiative to avoid suspicion and reporting your whereabouts in a timely manner!"
Zhou Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he had to coax her to go to bed earlier.
The two hung up the phone after talking for half an hour, and Hu Ying brought her milk:
"Your mother is in New York tomorrow. Are they back in Ithaca?"
Xia Xiaolan shook her head, "My mother definitely wants to come, but Grandma Yu's body and mood may not be suitable for such a trip. When she gets off the plane tomorrow, she will have to accept the bad news that her son may have died a long time ago. I'm not here yet, I don't know if Zhou Cheng will be able to do it. Take care of this."
White-haired people send black-haired people, it's really a tragedy in the world.
Put yourself in grandma and think about it, if Manni has any accident, Hu Ying will also collapse on the spot.
