Chapter 11 Section 11

After finishing the transfer, CAROL calculated the time and decided to call Jason to tell him about the delay of the plane.She estimated that if he didn't pick her up at five o'clock in the morning, he would wait until ten o'clock, pick up another girl, and then drive back.If he would make another trip, it would be grateful; if he didn't, she wouldn't blame him. She tried the phone, only to find out that it was a long distance call to City C from here, so she had to change a lot of QUARTERs, according to the instructions, put a lot of them in, and finally dialed, but unfortunately no one answered.She thought that no one answered the phone, which may be a good thing or a bad thing.Maybe Jason was still waiting for her at the airport, maybe he was out on errands.Now she doesn't really want Jason to wait for her at the airport, because it's too embarrassing to have to wait at the airport alone for more than ten hours, how can I repay it?It can't really be the same as the usual joke: there is nothing in return, a promise with your body, right?

She has always been grateful to this man named Jason, because he was the first person who volunteered to pick her up, and the only one who agreed to pick her up without knowing whether she was a man or a woman. This time, he decided to study at the C University in C City. For CAROL, it was actually a bit of a second choice.She also received an admission notice from another university, one of the top 20 in the United States, but that school did not give her a scholarship, but only waived part of the tuition.Originally, my mother said that I would send her to that school even if she was bankrupt and borrowed interest, but she heard that it would be more dangerous without a scholarship visa, so why not go to University C, which gave her a full scholarship, and then change jobs when she comes to the United States not too late.Although she felt a little sorry for C University, but there seemed to be no better way, so she had to use C University against her conscience.

Decided to come to University C, booked a flight ticket, and started to contact the Chinese Student Union of University C to see if anyone could pick her up at the airport, because she learned from the website of University C that the nearest airport in City B is still far away. It's about two hours' drive. The Chinese student union of C University has its own BBS, and there is a column dedicated to finding a house, buying a car, and contacting the airport pick-up and drop-off.The chairman of the student union introduced in a serious manner in the column "Freshmen's World" that in the past, the pick-up of freshmen was arranged by the student union, and there were often incidents of escorting and messing around with each other, and the brothers were also quite critical. Said that the cadres of the student union used their power to arrange young and beautiful freshmen to pick them up for themselves.The chairman said that as we all know, the cadres of the student union are changed every year, so the previous accusation of using power for personal gain has nothing to do with the chairman.This year, the chairman announced the implementation of free marriage, two-way choice, freshmen publish courtship letters in this section to promote themselves.If it is still not sold within ten days, the chairman is responsible for arranging the pick-up.

CAROL saw this arrangement, feeling a little bit dumbfounded.The chairman seems to be taking the slickness as humor, but since there is a place to contact the airport pick-up, and it is the only place, it seems that he has no choice but to cooperate with the chairman's slickness and put an advertisement on the BBS to promote himself. For unknown reasons, after a few days of advertising, she only received one email, which was from Jason.He said that he was going to pick up a person that day, and he could pick her up by the way, but the other person arrived after 10 o'clock, which means you have to wait at the airport for five hours, and my car is small , the four big boxes of the two of you may not be able to hold them, I have to find another way.Please continue to look for a more suitable object, if you can't find it, then use my BACKUP.

Carol thought, it seems that everyone is cooperating with the chairman's slickness, does this Jason treat me as a dowry girl, and pull me back by the way when picking up the bride?Although it felt like a light bulb, she immediately sent him an email back, thanked him, and honestly put him there as a BACKUP. She looked back at her ad, and guessed that her name didn't sound like a girl, which was the reason for the low ratings.She didn't want to maliciously speculate about the Chinese boys of C University, but when she saw the female freshmen who advertised at the same time as her, they quickly stated on the BBS: "Someone has already picked up the plane, please don't send emails again", and no one cares about her. , had to take every possibility into account.

So she rewrote her ad, changing the quite neutral "Li Jingcheng, master of XX major in University B" to "Li Jingcheng, female, 25, master of XX major in University B".Just add these two words, and the echoes will increase.There are also more follow-up posts under her advertisements, because no ID is used, everyone can speak freely: "What level of dinosaur is Miss Li?" "Since I can go to B University, hehe" "Strongly request to post photos to clarify!" "Master of B University, why are you willing to come to our ruined school?"

"B big crush, I can't bear it" "B Big Dinosaur, The Last Nightmare" CAROL looked at it and thought it was funny, it seems that the image of a big B girl in people's minds must be a dinosaur.What a fallacy!Is talent and appearance really irreconcilable?A beautiful woman must have big breasts and no brains?Talented women must look like nothing?As soon as she got angry, she posted a small photo of herself on the BBS. This post doesn't matter. At first, it was like a bomb was dropped but it didn't explode. It was quiet for a while, but no one responded.After a while, it seemed that a bomb had exploded, and everyone realized that the post was winding down like a staircase, and they had to turn the page.Believe that the photos are hers, they will be amazed and belittled; if they don't believe it is hers, they will shout "Don't be fooled, such a sister can only go to a prefecture-level college" and "I hate cheating".For a while, the direction of the discussion turned to whether the prefecture-level universities and key colleges are better or worse.

There are also more emails, those who want to pick up the plane, those who want to be friends, those who ask for so-and-so in University B, and those who ask her to bring things from China. She browsed those emails and posts, and felt a little self-deprecating. How did she get reduced to relying on photos to promote herself?It's all the fault of the smart student union chairman who made a contact pick-up as if it were a marriage.Even though I knew it wasn't a marriage proposal, it was a bit of a marriage proposal to be done like this.No one wants to pick him up from the plane, just like no one wants to marry himself. He actually feels a little jealous towards those freshmen who have been picked up a long time ago.She thought to herself, people are really slaves to the environment, and they can only sing the song of that mountain when they go to it.My competitive nature sooner or later ruined me.

She took the names of those "suitors" and searched on the website of University C, and she found many of them. It turns out that University C has a student webpage index, from which you can find all the student webpages—if He has words on the web.Some put pictures, some didn't.She took a look, but didn't seem to see anything that caught her eye.If not ugly, definitely not handsome.She was both happy and annoyed at the thought that these people contacted her only after seeing her photo.I am happy that my photos can still attract a large group of people, but I am annoyed that these people really regard picking up newborns as a blind date.

I heard that most of the boys are very practical. Before attacking, they will weigh the enemy and us in their hearts. Know yourself and the enemy, otherwise, wouldn't it be a white battle?Then these people saw my photos and decided to attack, they must think they are sure to win?Or is it just broad planting and broad harvesting? She decided to ask that Jason to pick her up, because he didn't agree to pick her up after seeing her photo.After she posted the photo, he didn't send an email requesting to upgrade BACKUP's status.She felt that he might not have been on the BBS at all and hadn't seen her picture.She didn't want to believe that Jason's classmate saw her picture, but didn't react at all.

She sent an email to Jason, thanked him again, and said that she still hoped that you would come to pick him up. I don't care about waiting at the airport for five hours, but you have to borrow a car. I'm sorry. She wrote down her arrival time in detail, and also said her characteristics, so that he could easily identify him when he picked up the plane: “I'm 1.64 meters tall and I wear my hair long. Can you tell me what you look like so I can recognize you at the airport?” Jason's reply was only one sentence: “I wear my hair thin.”
