ose who were tracking Yi Mu Yang, so he didn't dare to be careless. 。He insisted on buying her a new car, and she readily accepted it. 。"Where is Blue Lawyer going" She fastened her seatbelt and adju...Xu Haichen gave her concise advice, "It's not bad to work hard, but besides working hard, you also need to know how to show your strengths and take the initiative. The key to taking the initiative lies in communication. Don't expect others to guess your thoughts."

Thank you, senior brother.

Chen Ning had a sudden realization. She was indeed better at working silently and diligently, always believing that she was doing enough and Professor Zhao would surely feel her efforts.

But in fact, none of Professor Zhao's students are not hardworking.

After putting down her phone, she began preparing the materials for Professor Zhao's upcoming overseas exchange activity. She organized her thoughts and the next morning, she confidently went to Professor Zhao's office to volunteer her help.

To her surprise, her roommate Tao Kaiyan had gotten to Professor Zhao's office before her and was already having a conversation.

Professor Zhao saw her arrive and gestured for her to sit down, asking, "What's the matter"

Tao Kaiyan also looked at her.

Chen Ning guessed that she might be looking for the professor about going abroad for an exchange program, so she said, "You're busy first, I'll talk to you later."

Professor Zhao, however, went straight to the point: "Is it also about going abroad"

Chen Ling could only nod in agreement.

Professor Zhao: "Kaiyan came to me for this, she's already finished speaking, now it's your turn."

There was a bit of awkwardness in the scene. Professor Zhao particularly liked to spring surprises on them, calling it training their psychological resilience in the face of emergencies.

Chen Ling replied, "This time you are attending the event invited by x country. It mainly discusses the output of Chinese traditional culture, including whether Chinese classical gardens are popular in Europe and America. When I was in my third year, I..."

I have published a paper on the function and artistry of window designs in classical gardens of Suzhou. I have conducted some research on this topic and have a certain understanding of it.

"There is also one aspect concerning the development of the West, and I believe in this area, I have an inherent advantage."

Professor Zhao listened but remained silent with a smile that was hard to decipher.

After a while, he looked at Tao Kaiyan and said, "In your comparison with Chen Ling, what do you think your advantage is"

"I studied abroad in X country for two years during my university years, so I have a wealth of experience with the local culture, communication style, and lifestyle. It's not just book knowledge."

Professor Zhao nodded and smiled, "You all have your strengths. I'll think about it and let you know later."

The two emerged from Professor Zhao's office, exchanging a glance without a word. The competition had made their roommate relationship more ambiguous, most importantly, they couldn't figure out what Professor Zhao was thinking.

Actually, after he came out, Chen Ling realized that his chances of winning this time were slim.

At noon, Xu Haichen invited her out for a meal. She told him honestly: "This morning I made a mistake. Professor Zhao brought students out. Besides broadening their horizons and learning, he should also provide more assistance, such as translation, document organization, and some daily chores. Kaiyan grasped the key points and shared her experience as an exchange student, which was tailor-made for this event; while I talked eloquently about traditional culture, my understanding and insights into western development."

Xu Haichen: "You're not wrong. Or think of it this way, this is a sign of your high level of thinking."

Chen Ling replied, "Actually, I guess that Professor Zhao went out this time, besides taking you, another..."

The spots should be reserved for doctoral students.

Even so, one must still fight for it.

After about a week, Professor Zhao's side finally settled on the quota. Chen Ling guessed correctly, they chose a doctoral sister, and Xu Haichen.

The list was known in the evening, and she smiled at Tao Kaiyan. In an instant, there was a feeling of "smiling to end the grudge."

However, the next morning, things took a turn. Professor Zhao called her to his office alone and said, "Get ready, we're leaving this weekend."

She was confused, her name wasn't on last night's list.

Professor Zhao: "Xu Haichen gave you this spot."

She was deeply moved. Xu Haochen knew she wanted to attend this event and had prepared for it for a long time, but he also valued this opportunity, so she said: "Professor Zhao, please wait a moment, let me communicate with him first."

She ran out to find Xu Haichen, no matter what. She couldn't let him miss his chance.

Xu Haichen was waiting downstairs with his backpack, riding his bicycle. He seemed to have expected her arrival and waited there, looking like a handsome young man.

"You go tell the professor," Chen Ling said, her voice slightly irritated as she gave a direct order.

"Tell me why you refused."

"This is your chance, why are you giving it to me" Chen Ling raised her voice slightly.

"Don't worry about who has the opportunity, do you want to go How important is this opportunity to you" Xu Haochen asked.

Of course she wants to go, and of course it's important, but that's not a reason she would accept.

Xu Haichen: "I travel abroad often, this opportunity isn't as important to me as it is to you. Chen Ling replied, "Do you still want to join the foreign department Do you still want to be my colleague in the future and conquer the world together"

Chen Ning was stunned. It turned out he had thought further ahead than she had. She was now actively preparing for the overseas department exam. If she had this opportunity to go abroad, it would indeed be a huge plus.

"Besides, do you think Lao Zhao would listen to me I didn't give you the spot; I just gave it up. It was Lao Zhao who chose you."

"What"

"Old Zhao is so cunning. He said that if I give up my spot, maybe it will go to another student, not necessarily to you, and asked me to think it over before deciding whether to give it up. He's playing a game of strategy and mind games with me. But Chen Ning replied, 'You didn't disappoint me.'"

Chen Ling was speechless. "You really... what if Professor Zhao wanted to bring a different student"

"I have confidence in you, and I don't go into a battle unprepared."

Chen Ning, touched beyond words, couldn't help but ask, "Do you really like me"

Otherwise, it would be difficult to understand.

Of course, given his circumstances, it's equally difficult to understand why he would like her.

Xu Haichen: "Narrow-minded! Have you always participated in charity organizations because of love Because of profit Can't humans have a little more noble and selfless emotion"

He seemed both serious and playful. Chen Ling replied that he won, speechless.

After that, things moved quickly with the preparations for her trip abroad with Professor Zhao. This was her first time leaving the country, and she was both excited and nervous. However, the schedule was very tight, filled with meetings, discussions, and translation work every day. As a result, her excitement and nervousness disappeared after she left the airport.

On the third day, I received a call from Yaoyao, saying she was filming a movie related to her experiences and asked if it would be convenient for us to meet and chat.

She was delighted.

"Agree, but I'm abroad attending an event right now. Can I get back to you when I return"

"Okay."him, waving their hands exaggeratedly in his direction.“Mr. Gu is here, right here.”Lu Kuo looked over, smiling widely and giving them and Ruan Ruan a thumbs-up heart gesture.Ruan Ruan, not having his...
