840 It's Good to Want to Change
When he went abroad, Zhang Guangmao gave Liu Xue a watch, which was a plum blossom brand, and the price in China was as high as 230 yuan, which ordinary people could not afford.
Liu Xue was very happy at that time, and called Zhang Guangmao dad vigorously. But after arriving in the United States, she realized that a watch was really nothing. Her group of American classmates basically have a watch, and they are more expensive than her plum blossom watches, so she basically doesn't wear a watch after she goes abroad, and if she doesn't come out to do things today, she still won't wear a watch.
After lunch, Watson took Robert to MIT, where he was going to settle him in the student dormitory. Karina returned to the office and continued her work.
Niu Xiaoqiang saw that everyone else was gone, took Liu Xue to sit down in the café, and after ordering two drinks, he looked up and asked, "There is no one else now, what do you have to say." ”
Liu Xue lowered her head and thought about the wording for a while, and then whispered: "I'm going to attend the banquet organized by the school tonight, that ...... That ......"
Niu Xiaoqiang finally understood, and he sighed: "I heard Xiaolan say about this matter, do you want to advance your salary in advance and buy two new clothes?"
Liu Xue nodded embarrassedly: "Hmm." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang didn't say a word, he directly took out the cash and counted 1,500 US dollars on the table, and said: "There are a total of 1,500 US dollars here, I can lend you the money, but I have a request." ”
"What requirements?"
"Tonight's banquet is the first banquet you have attended since you came to the United States, so I don't think it matters if you go to see the world, but you can't attend a similar banquet in the future, as long as you nod your head, you can take the money. ”
Liu Xue looked up with a puzzled face and said, "Why don't you let me participate in similar banquets in the future?"
Niu Xiaoqiang replied very seriously: "Because this kind of banquet does not have any nutrition, I personally even think it is very low-level, it is enough for you to see the world, and it is not a good thing to participate often." ”
Liu Xue lowered her head, of course she knew the inner meaning of Niu Xiaoqiang's words, at this moment she had a feeling of being poked in the back, and for a while her heart was full of mixed tastes and thoughts.
Since Niu Xiaoqiang said this, he felt that there was no need to hide anything, so he paused and continued: " Before going abroad, your parents had specially told me to take care of you, and asked me to help them watch you a little, so I will say these words to you, otherwise if you are a stranger, I will not talk much, your nature is not bad, but because everyone's life experience is different, the living environment is also different, so everyone's personality is not the same, no matter who it is, there will be one or another defect in the character, this is not a big problem, as long as it can be changed. ”
"It's like Xiaolan, when I first met her, her personality was very problematic, at that time I had a very bad impression of her, and even hated her a little, but now it's different, Xiaolan's change is very big, I believe you can also feel it, the change in her personality has made my perception of her also change, this is a very good phenomenon, you should be able to understand what I mean by saying this, right?"
If she was to be preached by other peers, Liu Xue would be able to slap the other party speechless with just one sentence: 'How old are you, how can you educate me?'. But she is now facing Niu Xiaoqiang, and this kind of thing is unspeakable.
No matter who it is, there is no way to deny Niu Xiaoqiang. Niu Xiaoqiang is definitely a successful person, which no one can deny. Liu Xue is nothing compared to him.
Other people's achievements are there, and it is his parents who begged him to take care of him first, so in the face of Niu Xiaoqiang's preaching, Liu Xue can only accept it.
She nodded slightly: "I understand what you mean, in fact, I also want to change, but...... But I don't have that condition......"
Niu Xiaoqiang was curious: "There are no conditions?"
"You know the situation at Morpheus University, my classmates are not doing their jobs all day, and they are all focused on how to have fun, and in this environment, it is difficult for me to calm down. ”
Liu Xue herself is a girl with relatively weak self-control, and basically all women with strong vanity have this shortcoming. If it were replaced by a woman like Zhang Xiaolan with firm thinking and perseverance, she would definitely not encounter this kind of problem.
Liu Xue felt that there was nothing to hide from Niu Xiaoqiang, so she simply put aside her worries when she said this, and continued very sincerely: "In fact, I have long known the shortcomings of my personality, and I also have the idea of changing, to be honest, I don't want the people around me to look at me from the same perspective as before, I originally thought that I could start over in the United States, a place where I was unfamiliar with life, but after coming to the United States, I found that it was more difficult to change myself here than in China, mainly because there were too many temptations here...... Whenever I see my classmates driving to school in luxury cars, I can't help but envy them, I don't know if I can't help it......"
Niu Xiaoqiang saw that Liu Xue said so sincerely, and felt that this girl who loved vanity could still be saved. After thinking for a moment, Niu Xiaoqiang raised his head and asked, "Do you want to change the learning environment?"
Liu Xue immediately nodded: "Yes." ”
"So from now on, as long as you have time, let Xiaolan give you make-up classes, her grades are not bad, she should be able to help you, and when your grades improve, I will find a way to get you to other more reliable universities, and then you can study some more practical majors, as long as you can successfully get your academic certificate, I will help you find a job after graduation, and ensure that you become a white-collar worker." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang originally wanted to say such a sentence: If you want to get something, you have to rely on yourself to work hard. Seeing that Liu Xue already had a desire to change, this sentence seemed a bit redundant, so he didn't say it.
Liu Xue hesitated: "Morpheus University is a bit far from Boston University, I don't have much money, and the fare is a big problem. ”
Niu Xiaoqiang's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "You can change the way, the hunter company has recruited a lot of MIT international students, everyone is a compatriot of the same country, every time you come to work part-time, you can ask them to take turns to help you with your homework, as long as the delay is not too long, presumably everyone will not refuse." ”
Liu Xue's eyes lit up when she heard this: "This method is good, I will listen to you, and I will find them when the time comes." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang drank all the lemon tea, stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the working environment." ”
