Chapter: 5269
Moreover, Hong Kong had been the fashion and financial hub of the entire Asian region for several decades, gathering countless handsome young men and beautiful women from around the world in its narrow alleys. Liu Manqiong's aesthetic sense was already somewhat fatigued and even numb.
However, when she first saw Lin Wan'er, she still felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Lin Wan'er's beauty was a type she had hardly ever seen before.
It wasn't just perfect, but already exceeded one's imagination.
In other words, even if Liu Manqiong thought of the most beautiful woman in her mind and compared her with Lin Wan'er, there would still be an insurmountable gap between them.
When Lin Wan'er appeared before Liu Manqiong, Liu Manqiong was still shocked by her appearance.
Qi Yingshan spoke up beside him, saying, "Manqiong, let me introduce you to this young lady. This is my niece, Lin Xiaowan, who has just come from Malaysia and will be studying archaeology at Jinling University."
Liu Manqiong snapped back to reality and asked in surprise, "What do you mean? Archaeology?"
"Yes," Qi Yingshan nodded and smiled. "It's archaeology. My niece here likes traditional Chinese culture and is interested in relics and ancient artifacts, so she chose to study archaeology."
As he spoke, he introduced Lin Wan'er to Liu Manqiong, saying, "Xiaowan, this is my grandniece-in-law, Liu Manqiong, who will be going to your school for an interview tomorrow afternoon."
Lin Wan'er smiled lightly and extended her hand in a polite manner, saying, "Hello, Manqiong sister! We'll be attending the same school later, so I'll ask you to look out for me!"
Liu Manqiong also hastened to extend her hand and shake hands with Lin Wan'er, then spoke seriously: "As of now, there is still no certainty that I will be admitted to Jinling University, but please rest assured. If I am admitted, I will definitely do my best to look out for you in the future!"
Lin Wan'er nodded slightly and asked, "Don't you know what kind of major your sister-in-law Manqiong is studying at school?"
Liu Manqiong said, "I'm studying Chinese language and literature, with a focus on classical Chinese as well."
Lin Wan'er curiously asked, "Do I need to take Chinese language courses for archaeological majors?"
Liu Manqiong shook her head, "I'm not too sure about this. Generally speaking, archaeological majors are part of the history department, so there should be some Chinese language courses involved, but it depends on each school's specific teaching arrangement."
Lin Wan'er smiled and said, "If there is one, that would be best; if not, I'll take your sister-in-law's course later on."
Liu Manqiong, although not good at socializing, was suddenly put at ease by Lin Wan'er's perfect smile and responded with a happy laugh, saying, "Good! If I get accepted, you're definitely coming to give me a hand!"
Qiu Yingshan saw the two getting along so well that he couldn't help but express his satisfaction, saying, "It's not often that we see such good matches; shall we all go sit down and chat slowly?"
The two readily agreed and the group proceeded to move into the living room.
In the living room, after Liu Manqiong and Lin Wan'er sat down, Lin Wan'er asked her, "Why did you choose to leave Hong Kong for Jinling development? The gap between an international first-tier city like Hong Kong and a domestic second-tier city is quite significant."
Liu Manqiong smiled slightly and once again brought up the same conversation they had on the way over, essentially saying that she felt Hong Kong's pace was too fast, there were too many people and not enough space, and the city's resources were severely strained, making her feel that life in a domestic second-tier city was more comfortable.
Lin Wan'er listened and nodded in agreement, but her heart was completely the opposite.
She thought that Liu Manqiong's words sounded right at first, that Hong Kong, an international first-tier city, would naturally have a fast pace, and indeed, there were too many people and not enough space. Many young people from Hong Kong had started to gradually move to inland areas for development, especially those in neighboring special administrative regions, which attracted many young people from Hong Kong.
However, Lin Wan'er was also very clear that Hong Kong was a place where heaven and hell coexisted. JrNovels.com
