Chapter 238
"What, you're going to study in the UK? Aren't you just a sophomore? Why are you a graduate student?" Director Fang was shocked when he learned that Liu Xinyu was going to study in the UK. He looked at Liu Xinyu in disbelief, "Then
What about our agreement? Of course we agreed to provide our factory with designs for four years."
Liu Xinyu smiled calmly and said: "I'm here today to discuss the design for the next two years with you. I can continue to design new models for Shenghua. The design drawings of this new model can be sent back via international mail. Of course, it is difficult to do so in terms of security and timeliness.
Guarantee, the most convenient, quick and safe way is to fax.”
The director of the factory knows what fax is, but now only a few government departments have access to the fax business, and not everything can be transmitted, and the resolution is not that high.
Of course Liu Xinyu knew that current faxes could not be compared with those of a few decades later, but she had seen the faxes from Director Wang. Although the clarity was slightly worse, it was still enough to convey the clothing design.
"There is a fax machine in the district. Although the effect is not very good, it is better than losing the item. It would be better if it can be mailed and faxed with double insurance!" Director Fang frowned and thought for a long time, and finally found a delivery method that he thought was feasible.
Way.
Liu Xinyu didn't expect that there was a fax machine in the district. No matter how effective the fax was, it would be the best thing to avoid bothering Director Wang about this kind of thing.
Although the cost of this double insurance is not low, Liu Xinyu is still willing to bear it.
Seeing Liu Xinyu nodding in approval, Director Fang quickly wrote down the district's fax number and gave it to Liu Xinyu. Thinking of the possible expenses, he hesitated for a moment before saying: "The mailing and fax charges may be a bit expensive, so, try your best.
If we have a few more designs, the factory will pay for the mailing and faxing costs, what do you think?"
It is not difficult for Liu Xinyu to produce a few more sets of designs, but it also requires time.
Professors Zeng and Lin, who helped her contact her for a place to study abroad, repeatedly reminded her that Professor Federman was a very strict person and had high demands on students, and warned her that she must focus on her studies and not be distracted like she was at Peking University.
.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Xinyu slowly nodded in response to the conditions put forward by the factory director below.
No matter how strict Professor Federman is, he can't keep an eye on her 24 hours a day. She can always find time to complete the new design.
After making an agreement with Factory Director Fang on how to deliver the new design, Liu Xinyu declined Factory Director Fang's kindness on her behalf and hurriedly went to the Equipment Introduction Department to say goodbye to Director Wang.
Director Wang gave her a phone call: "Our country has not set up a consulate in Edinburgh yet. This is the phone number of my college classmate. He is a professor at the School of Engineering at the University of Edinburgh. If you encounter any difficulties, just call him!"
Liu Xinyu took the call and bowed respectfully to Director Wang to express her gratitude.
Regardless of whether the professor named Han Weicheng will be used or not, Liu Xinyu will remember Director Wang's love and care for her.
At nine o'clock in the morning on February 26, Liu Xinyu arrived at the Capital Airport in Beijing carrying a backpack and dragging two suitcases.
With two suitcases this big, you definitely can’t take them directly on the plane, you have to check them in first.
Liu Xinyu had just finished checking in, and before she could turn around, someone tapped her heavily on the shoulder.
Her startled reaction was to grab the hand that slapped her on the shoulder, and forcefully throw her over her shoulder.
"Xinyu, it's me!" An anxious voice rang in her ears, prompting Liu Xinyu to relax her strength. She turned around and found a group of people standing behind her. The one holding her wrist was none other than her good sister Fang Jizhen from the same dormitory!
Liu Xinyu let go of Fang Jizhen's hand, glared at Fang Jizhen and said, "Thankfully you exited in time, otherwise you would have been in a big embarrassment today! By the way, why are you here? School hasn't started yet!"
"You are going abroad, why don't we come to see you off! You will be away for four or five years. By the time you finish your studies and return to China, we will have already gone our separate ways and we won't see each other again for a long time!" Hu Xuemei stepped forward and gently said
He hit Liu Xinyu and said angrily.
Liu Xinyu arched her eyebrows and said with a hint of playfulness: "The Year of the Monkey, the Horse Month? Today is the Year of the Monkey, and May in the lunar calendar is the Horse Month. Sister Xuemei, if you lend me your auspicious words, maybe we can meet again in June or July!"
Although they knew that Liu Xinyu would not be able to return to China in June or July, everyone still pretended that she would be able to make the trip and started cheering her, which diluted the sadness of parting.
While talking and laughing, time passed quickly, and soon the boarding notice came over the radio.
Fang Jizhen quickly approached Liu Xinyu and whispered in her ear: "I will look after the house in Changchun Lane for you. If you can't stay in the capital after graduation, I will also find a way to help you deal with it. You can go ahead and move on!"
Liu Xinyu took Fang Jizhen's hand and squeezed it gently, saying nothing.
At this time, Gu Jincheng, who had been standing silently watching Liu Xinyu since entering the departure hall, walked towards Liu Xinyu and handed the box he was carrying to Liu Xinyu: "Classmate Liu Xinyu, this is given to you by the whole class.
A gift, I hope you can take the lead in the UK!"
Because there was a security check required when passing through the airport gate, Fang Jizhen simply helped Liu Xinyu open the box. Inside was a blue and white porcelain ornament in the shape of a horse trampling on a flying swallow.
"Thank you, classmates. See you all soon!" Liu Xinyu held up the ornament and shook it at the classmates before turning around and entering the gate.
The weather was good today. We took off from Beijing at 11:20 and arrived in Hong Kong at around 2:50 pm after a three and a half hour flight.
Arriving from the cold Beijing to the warm Hong Kong, Liu Xinyu was really not used to it. Fortunately, she was prepared and changed her clothes in advance on the plane.
At this time, Hong Kong was still under British colonial rule, so there were several direct flights from Hong Kong to London. Liu Xinyu only stayed at the Hong Kong Airport for more than four hours before successfully boarding the flight from Hong Kong to London, completing her first flight.
transfer time.
After nearly fourteen hours of flight, the plane landed safely at London's Heathrow Airport.
The second transfer was not so smooth. Although she arrived in London at around 9 a.m., the flight to Edinburgh that day was already full, so Liu Xinyu could only transfer to the next day's flight to Edinburgh.
Of course, Liu Xinyu can also take other means of transportation, such as long-distance buses, trains, or even rent a car and drive yourself.
Although Liu Xinyu can drive, she does not have a driver's license, so it is impossible to rent a car and drive by yourself!
After careful consideration, Liu Xinyu decided to go step by step, make full use of the air ticket in his hand, and take the next day's flight to Edinburgh. Anyway, the next day was only the 28th, and there were 29th in February this year, so it was not far away from Feide.
There are still two days left on March 1st prescribed by Professor Mann.
