Gong Ruini yawned, "Why hasn’t she come out yet?"

Feeling her protesting stomach, Gong Ruini was definitely hungry.

Do foreign interviews really take this long?

Or is it a trap? Oh, why didn’t she follow along, Gong Ruini felt a wave of regret.

What if something goes wrong, would Gong Zhuang rip them apart?

At this thought, Gong Ruini suddenly stood up from her seat.

Zhao Xuran was startled by Gong Ruini’s sudden movement, "What’s wrong?"

Gong Ruini shakily explained her thoughts.

"Uh, don’t worry too much. Do you think people who stay in such a nice hotel don’t have a bit of money?"

"And the fact that the other party could mention the school Gong Jiaxin applied to, how many people would know that?"

Although Gong Jiaxin stayed with them, she really wasn’t very noticeable. If Zhao Xuran and the others planned to apply to a foreign university, people would ask which school they were applying to.

Even then, they would forget the answer soon after asking, let alone clearly say the name of Parsons.

If they hadn’t constantly heard Gong Jiaxin mention the school’s name, they might not even remember it.

That’s true. Gong Ruini suppressed the urge to rush forward, mainly because she just remembered she forgot to ask Gong Jiaxin about the interview room.

Amid Gong Ruini’s various anxieties, she finally spotted Gong Jiaxin.

Most importantly, she had a face full of joy, indicating the interview went well.

Gong Ruini breathed a sigh of relief; at least the family "high-pressure alert" could stop now.

"Ni Zi, I, I got accepted." Gong Jiaxin wanted to yell outside but decided to stay composed.

But once she got into the car, she immediately cried and shared the news.

Got accepted? Just like that? Gong Ruini was truly confused. Wasn’t she here for an interview? How did she get accepted already?

Gong Ruini felt something was off. If Parsons didn’t know much about Gong Ruini, after this interview they should report back to the United States before notifying whether she’s accepted.

Who brings an acceptance letter to an interview? It’s not a diploma mill.

Zhao Xuran also pondered, "Let’s have Zhao Guangran check things at Parsons."

It’s uncertain if there are any faculty staying at the school at this time.

Thinking it over, "How about we take Gong Jiaxin to get a visa?"

The embassy would verify if the acceptance letter is real, which is quicker than us trying to get information.

Right, when Zhao Guangran went abroad, the embassy verified it too. Gong Jiaxin could do the same.

Her husband’s quick thinking impressed Gong Ruini greatly.

Gong Jiaxin was wrapped up in her own excitement and hadn’t even thought about what Gong Ruini and the others were considering.

"Ni Zi, I’m treating everyone to dinner."

"We’ll go eat something delicious."

"Oh wait, I need to tell my parents." Although her parents hadn’t been pressing her about the acceptance letter, they must be quite anxious.

"Let’s head back." Gong Ruini wanted to persuade her, but seeing Gong Jiaxin so excited, bringing up the topic now might dampen her enthusiasm.

"Ni Zi, do you know that they actually withheld my acceptance letter?"

Wow, can they do that? Gong Ruini was perplexed. If they didn’t intend to accept Gong Jiaxin, they wouldn’t send an acceptance letter. Then why send it only to withhold it?

"The person interviewing me was the department head for fashion design."

"He talked to me for a long time..."

Wow, a department head came to interview Gong Jiaxin? Unbelievable! Gong Ruini didn’t expect such a big figure to conduct Gong Jiaxin’s interview.

Is it to prevent cheating or because they believe Gong Jiaxin has talent, having a bright future in fashion design, prompting them to visit personally?

"The head went to a conference in Japan and then came here to interview me."

"Then he said my English wasn’t very good and suggested I go early to improve my spoken English." Gong Jiaxin knew her weaknesses.

But the head’s suggestion was right. Planning to study at Parsons means she can’t ignore improving her spoken English and listening skills, or how would she keep up later?

"The head said I have talent."

Wow, she really is talented. But if her English isn’t great, then how did they converse for so long?

Did their stilted communication delay the time?

Gong Ruini felt this head was quite nice, at least willing to talk to a stammering kid for so long.

"There was a translator, a second-generation immigrant, yellow jade. She was nice, worked at Parsons School."

"She said I could stay at her home if I go over, as it’s not far from the school."

Gong Jiaxin knew the translator was so welcoming not only because of the department head’s evaluation but also because she probably wanted to earn some rent.

Is accommodation sorted then? Gong Ruini didn’t know the situation at Parsons; when Zhao Guangran gathered information, it was about the school, not accommodation.

Zhao Guangran was sleepily dozing off; these past few days he’d been busy gathering information, planning to try investing in stocks.

Working for money was too slow, so Zhao Guangran gave up on that long ago.

These past few days he’d been busy gathering information, with only a bit of money on hand, he couldn’t afford to squander it.

After receiving Gong Ruini’s call, Zhao Guangran’s first reaction was reluctance.

He was really busy, and planned to make a lot of money over the holiday, so he didn’t have time to investigate, especially since it wasn’t his girlfriend.

Zhao Guangran’s complaining was so natural it relieved Gong Ruini.

If Zhao Guangran had feelings for Gong Jiaxin, he’d definitely act eager and take on the task without Gong Ruini asking.

Now he’s even learned to complain, so it’s definitely unrelated.

Gong Ruini confidently delegated the task, knowing Zhao Guangran wouldn’t dare not take it.

"Don’t worry, Guangran’s busy, but he’ll sort it out quickly." Just checking the school’s accommodation, it’s really not difficult at all.

"Maybe let’s not." Because Zhao Guangran was rather excited, speaking loudly, Gong Jiaxin heard his complaints while waiting to use the phone.

"Not what, when you go to New York, don’t expect him to pick you up."

"If his attitude isn’t corrected now, when I go to the United States, he wouldn’t even pick up my calls."

"The first to go to the United States should handle future receptions for us."

Even if Zhao Guangran becomes the investment god, he’s still her brother-in-law and must listen to Zhao Xuran.
