After arriving at the new campus and living in the new apartment for only a few days, Xia Xiaoli has already adapted to the new environment and the new pace of life. She gets up at 6:20 every day, leaves the house at 6:40, goes to study at 7:12, has lunch at 5:6, and then Until 8:[-] in the afternoon when school is over, eat, go to school for evening self-study from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], and then go home. If Qiao Yu is at home, I will study with him and do the questions. If Qiao Yu is not at home, I will read and brush at home. Question, wait for Qiao Yu to come back before going there.

Qiao Yu did what he said. These days, he has made special arrangements for Xia Xiaoli's make-up lessons, which can basically be completed before 8:[-] in the evening. Originally planned to finish the high school physics in the evening of a week, but the result is progressing faster than expected. It went well, and it took a week and a half to complete the entire part of the first and second grades. Qiao Yu talked about knowledge points, and would expand on each knowledge point.

Xia Xiaoli only felt that some difficult points that he thought were so complicated and unclear before were explained by Brother Qiao, and everything became clear, and those difficult points became simpler.

Not only that, but Qiao Yu also assigned homework for him by himself. For this purpose, he went back to his parents' house to find out the mathematics and physics tutorial books and exercise books that he had read before the college entrance examination. The subjects in high school haven't changed much, and the scope of the exam questions has even become simpler compared to his previous years. Qiao Yu's books and practice questions were selected by himself with a lot of effort back then. After entering Columbia University, as long as Xia Xiaoli can score, even if he only scores 60%, it is enough for him to pass the college entrance examination.

All the reference books were given to Xia Xiaoli, and Qiao Yu picked out some of the topics in the exercise book and gave them to him individually, from simple to difficult, step by step.

There is a method and a rhythm, Qiao Yu's remedial class with a famous teacher has an immediate effect. After a week of mock exams, there is another exam. This time, Xia Xiaoli scored an unprecedented high score in the physics exam, only 9 points lower than Jian Rong. He was overjoyed.

Although he hadn't fully figured out the physics in the third year of high school, and lost points for one big question, but aside from that question, he did better than Jian Rong in other parts, Xia Xiaoli was overjoyed.

Jian Rong felt inconceivable: "Did you use some kind of cheat? How did you improve so much in just two weeks? I didn't tell you a few questions, did I?"

Xia Xiaoli thought happily, you didn't talk much, but some people talked a lot. When it comes to tricks, hey, I really have a trick.

It was as if she possessed a small treasure secret, a unique secret and weapon that belonged to her alone, Xia Xiaoli held back but was very happy.

The physics teacher specially praised Xia Xiaoli, saying that he made rapid progress, and he claimed it with a blushing smile.

The test results of other subjects have not changed for the time being, because Qiao·ultimate·remedial teacher has not yet started to work hard, Xia Xiaoli thought to herself, it will be fast, if it is as good as physics, it will be like riding a rocket.

In the evening, Qiao Yu was also very happy to see the high-scoring physics test paper, as if to test his own teaching results, and then analyzed the test paper, saying that the questions this time were not difficult, and were easier than the last mock test, so To be honest, this score is a bit high.

Xia Xiaoli won't be hit, and her false height is also high, next time she encounters difficulties, she will just take the real height test.

That night, Qiao Yu gave him lectures until ten o'clock, and then selected a few questions from his own exercise book for Xia Xiaoli to do, and said, "I have a conference call later, it may take a long time, do you want to call back?" Do the questions in your own room? I might disturb you when I talk on the phone."

Xia Xiaoli sat cross-legged on the ground and turned the pen, without thinking about it, she said: "It's okay, I won't disturb me, I can concentrate on the questions now, and I can't hear anything."

But he was curious: "Why is there a conference call so late? Isn't everyone already off work?"

Qiao Yu said: "It was a conference call with the United States. The School of Engineering and Engineering of Hongda University and my alma mater in the United States have a joint architectural exhibition and academic exchange activities. Dean Zhou entrusted this matter to me. Today is my role. This is the first time that the person in charge of Hongda has formally communicated with the other party."

Xia Xiaoli nodded thoughtfully. Hongda University and Columbia University, and Brother Qiao has a lot of connections with these two universities. It is indeed a perfect fit for him to be in charge of this matter. He is the communication partner of these two well-known universities. bridge.

Qiao Yu said again: "I knew about this before I returned to China. I was still at Columbia University. Dean Zhou was lobbying me to return to China while bringing up this suggestion. I thought it was a good thing, so I communicated with the dean there in detail. However, they are also very supportive, so speaking of it, this academic exchange activity can be regarded as my matchmaking, and now I have the responsibility to follow up the follow-up work."

When Zhou Yishen proposed to him at the time, he and Lin Zhihua had already broken up. He talked directly to the dean of Columbia University's School of Architecture. After breaking up, another deputy dean, Peter, was appointed to do the matchmaking. During the first few preliminary communication meetings, Qiao Yu also participated in the identity of Columbia University.

Now the identity is completely reversed.

Around the same time, Peter sent a message on WhatsApp, asking if he could start the call. Qiao Yu put on the Bluetooth headset, and after replying on the phone, he dialed the voice directly.

Qiao Yu was still sitting behind the desk, speaking very softly. Xia Xiaoli could not help but listen to what Brother Qiao was saying while lowering her head and doing the questions.

He really couldn't concentrate.

Peter is Qiao Yu's old colleague, he is a direct descendant of Columbia University, he is a big fat man, he is bright and funny.The two exchanged greetings for a while, and Peter asked him how he felt after returning to China, did he have any regrets, and did he miss his old colleagues?

Qiao Yu smiled and said that he had adapted well after returning, and of course he would not regret it, but he did miss his old colleagues very much.

On the phone, Peter let out a deep laugh, and said deliberately, did he miss his old colleagues, or just miss a certain colleague?

Qiao Yu was taken aback. He didn't expect Peter to make such a joke. Although his relationship with Lin Zhihua hadn't been made public with great fanfare, the teachers who were close to the academy knew that it had always been tacit, and no one had ever been so blatant about it. It's been a long time since they broke up.

Before he could reply, Peter had already revealed his hole card: "Joe, the person in charge of this academic exchange event has changed. I'm here to hand over to you in today's meeting. The person in charge will be Lin in the future. Leader's arrangement."

Qiao Yu didn't answer for a while, he heard a distant and familiar voice from the earphone, speaking in Chinese: "Qiao, it's me."

Peter added: "The next thing will be left to you. If there is any progress and arrangement, Lin can just let me know. Although I am no longer in charge, I am still a member of the working group and will assist in doing this well. of this event."

"OK, Thanks Peter." Qiao Yu said.

There was another silence, and then Lin Zhihua chuckled, and said in Chinese: "Long time no see, how are you?"

Qiao Yu recovered from the brief daze, and said softly, "Everything is fine, thank you Zhihua."

Ok? ? ?

Xia Xiaoli on the side suddenly raised her cat ears. What did he hear?Zhihua?Lin Zhihua?

Is it Lin Zhihua who is talking to Brother Qiao now? ? ?

Xia Xiaoli raised her eyes abruptly, and saw Qiao Yu standing up from behind the desk, plugging in the Bluetooth headset, and walking towards the bedroom. Halfway through, she looked back at Xia Xiaoli, made a gesture to ask him to work hard on the questions, and then turned around. Entered the bedroom and closed the door.

Xia Xiaoli was distracted, he couldn't figure out why the person on the other end of the phone was suddenly replaced by Lin Zhihua, didn't Brother Qiao just pay back Peter?

The closed bedroom door blocked the sound of the phone, Xia Xiaoli could only faintly hear Qiao Yu's voice, but she couldn't hear what she said at all.

He couldn't tell what mood he was in right now, anxious?frustrated?Curious again?

In the bedroom, Qiao Yu switched to English and asked the other end of the phone: "When did this happen?" He pointed to the change of the person in charge, at least he hadn't heard of it before he returned to China, and Lin Zhihua was not even a member of the academic exchange project team.

Lin Zhihua also switched to English, and his voice sounded very gentle: "A week ago, I made the request to the dean on my own initiative, and the dean agreed."

"Why?" Qiao Yu asked.

The person on the other end of the phone was also silent for a while, Lin Zhihua switched back to Chinese and said, "It's because of you."

Qiao Yu was silent, he didn't understand.

Lin Zhihua said: "Joe, I broke up with Eliot."
