Rebirth: How A Loser Became A Prince Charming - Chapter 324

Chapter 324

 That brief interlude was soon behind them . Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei merged into the city in high spirits .

 Taking their kettles, backpacks, spare change and a city map with them, they entered the noisy city .

 The sunlight was blocked by enormous mansions . People there saw no sun rays in 2002 . The US was completely dejected .

 New York was still a beautiful city though . There were trees everywhere as well as free public museums .

 They travelled from south to north by bus, getting a panoramic view of Manhattan . They saw the financial district, the New York stock exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank .

 In Chinatown, on the Lower East Side, they felt right at home .

 The New York University had no walls around its campus . A visitor might think that those were just a few ordinary buildings .

 Broadway was clustered by dozens of theatres . Looking ahead, they saw luxurious Chelsea and the solemn Supreme Judicial Court of New York .

 The Upper East Side was inhabited by rich people of the last generation, and it was one of the most luxurious areas of the city .

 In an effort to avoid the repression of old-fashioned people, young lawyers and doctors had found their own paradise . After crossing a bridge, they got away from noisy Manhattan and reached their quiet harbor .

 Long Island, which was slightly remote, had naturally been their first choice for a home .

 The air there was misty, and the sky was blue . The housing prices were completely ridiculous though .

 Leisure time flew by fast .  Before Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei could visit every free museum in the city, all schools had opened .

 The first beam of sunlight fell on the Upper West Side . Columbia University was far from the city center . A towering lion sculpture was the symbol of the university . It was bathing in the sunshine like a king bathing in holy light . It looked solemn and respectful .

 The Roman-style Butler Library was located on the central square of the university, welcoming the bustling students .

 Senior students were already familiar with the university . It was the freshmen who attracted more attention .

 There were college societies at all the entrances of the main buildings .

 Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei looked curiously at the unfamiliar campus, attracting the volunteers in charge of guiding freshmen .

 John was an enthusiastic young man . He was a typical Washington guy with a pair of deep, charming blue eyes .

 He was also an influential basketball player, so he was very popular in college . Wearing his green volunteer uniform, he saw Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei . They seem like Asian students . I have no Asian supporters in my campaign .

 He ran over to them happily and greeted them, "Freshmen, right?"

 "Yes . She is in the Department of Civil Engineering and I am in the Department of Finance . "

 "Oh, different departments . The general introduction is still the same though . I’ll take you to register first and then I’ll show you around the campus . "

 Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei exchanged a glance . This sure is the top university in the US . His taste in clothes might be mediocre, but he looks nice .

 "Ladies first . We’ll head to her department . As for you, don’t worry . The two of us are in the same department . "

 Media Studies, Law, Finance and Civil Engineering were the top four departments of Columbia University . Among all universities and colleges, they were the fiercest competition . The acceptance rate there was only 8% .

 John was surprised to find out that the two freshmen were both enrolled at top departments . He was more serious with them now .

 During their conversation, he discovered that they were Chinese students, which made him even more serious .

 There would be about 7,000 foreign students at the university that year, which was two sevenths of all the freshmen .

 China was spreading to the whole world and the number of Chinese students was increasing at Columbia University . That year, the rate was about 30% .

 This meant that there would be one Chinese student in every 24 freshmen . That was a large number . If John could make a good impression on his fellow Chinese students, he could gain an overwhelming advantage in the upcoming election .

 John was even more enthusiastic with them now . After helping them with their registration, he showed them around the campus .  All facilities at Columbia University were perfect .

 Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei felt a familiar vibe coming off the warm-hearted boy .

 There were differences between oriental and Western culture, but people remained the same . John was like Ye Dong in several aspects .

 He was much more liberal and easy-going than Ye though . He really loved politics, while Ye had just liked power .

 He could become a good friend in time . Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei exchanged a glance with each other and got immersed in the bright atmosphere of the campus .

 The whole university was like a sea of singing and dancing students .
