Chapter 5
After getting off the plane, I felt that the temperature here was different from when we set off. Although "Pure Text" Zhang Shiyu confirmed that it was autumn here, the temperature was not high, to be precise, it was warm.
I was wearing a coat, which Hong Ya bought for me. Zeng Yufang was even more exaggerated, she was wearing a down jacket.
Zhang Shiyu in the crowd was wearing a light yellow short-sleeved T-shirt and jeans. She seemed to have lost a lot of weight, but her jumping posture still showed her youth and liveliness.
"She is Principal Zhang's daughter?" Zeng Yufang asked me. Medical Career: Obstetrics and Gynecology 5
I nodded, "Yeah."
Now I still feel very awkward about what happened on the plane, so I deliberately keep a certain distance from her. And now I don't quite believe what she once told me, because I think it should be her*
*Principal Zhang. You should be able to imagine it from what she did on the plane.
This woman has an unusual level of openness and personal desires. I'm a little scared of her.
After walking out of the exit, Zhang Shiyu cheered and came over to hug me warmly. Her cheeks were close to mine, and the softness of her breasts was completely imprinted on my chest. She hugged me very hard.
Big, "Feng Xiao, you miss me so much. I can't believe you are really here."
I gently pushed her away because she was Principal Zhang's daughter after all, and I had Zeng Yufang beside me.
"Is this poetry?" Zeng Yufang, who was standing next to her, took the opportunity to ask.
Zhang Shiyu went to see her and asked, "Who are you?"
I didn’t expect her to ask like this, and she seemed very rude. It seemed that she still hadn’t changed much. So I hurriedly introduced: "This is Director Zeng of the Foreign Affairs Office of our school, who is traveling with me this time."
of."
Zhang Shi said, "Oh." Then he asked me, "Didn't you come all the way to see me?"
I immediately shook my head and said, "We came out on official business and stopped by to see you."
Now I understand that in Zhang Shiyu's eyes, Zeng Yufang is just her father's subordinate, and she herself is like the emperor's princess in ancient times, that's why she is so arrogant towards her subordinates. But it seems that my status in her heart
It's not quite the same, at least her happiness when she saw me seemed genuine.
Zhang Shiyu asked: "So, where will you stay today?"
I said: "Just live near Auckland University. Since you are here, take us there. Okay?"
She agreed and immediately took us out of the airport. Then she continued walking towards a place. I asked, "Don't you need a taxi?"
She said: "I drove here by myself."
I immediately laughed and said: "Why am I so stupid? How can people living abroad live without driving?"
Zhang Shiyu also laughed, "This is a common problem among wealthy people in China. They always feel that owning a car is a great thing. In New Zealand, even the price of world-famous cars is nearly half lower than the domestic price. Ordinary cars
It’s even cheaper.”
I was a little embarrassed, although I thought she was telling the truth, so I laughed and said, "I just haven't fully adapted to the fact that I'm abroad now."
She smiled and said: "Feng Xiao, don't think it's a big deal, because it was the same when I first went to the United States to study." Medical Career: Obstetrics and Gynecology 5
I felt much better and said with a smile: "So it's better to stay at home. It's difficult to integrate into the foreign environment." After I finished speaking, I was suddenly shocked: Feng Xiao, what are you doing? Are you planning to persuade her?
Don’t you want to go back to China? Why do you say that?
She said: "Yeah, it's not fun at all abroad."
I regretted it and immediately asked: "Shiyu, where do you live now?"
She replied: "It's in the countryside nearly a hundred kilometers away from Auckland. My mother bought a small ranch there."
I asked in surprise: "Why do you want to buy a ranch? Raise horses?"
She laughed, "New Zealand is a country with very developed animal husbandry, mainly raising cattle, sheep, and deer. Our family mainly raises dairy cows."
I immediately felt embarrassed for my ignorance: If I had known better, I should have done more homework before going out, or at least I should have known about the country’s customs and other things in advance. The fastest update please. Unfortunately, I have been thinking about it for a while.
I was busy with all those messy things and didn't even think about this aspect.
She took us to the parking garage of the airport. In fact, this airport is very small, unlike our country where everything is grand and grand.
Her car turned out to be a white BMW, which was very beautiful. It seems that Chinese people also like to pay attention to face when they go abroad.
Zeng Yufang sat in the back seat consciously. Zeng Yufang rarely spoke since meeting Zhang Shiyu. I thought to myself: Maybe it was Zhang Shiyu’s first words that hurt her when he saw her, or maybe she had some problems.
I am ashamed of myself. I have no other way to do this. After all, I cannot do everything.
On the way to the city, I found that the buildings on both sides of the road were very scattered, and they were all villa-like buildings. They didn't have the spirit of a big city at all.
I asked Zhang Shiyu: "How much does a villa like this cost?"
She said: "Anyway, it's cheaper than in China, about one million to five million. First, it depends on the location, and second, it depends on the size of the area. But buying a house here is completely different from that in China, because here
The property rights are permanent, not seventy or fifty years at all, and a certain range of gardens and land around the house are also included.
Not only that, if any minerals are discovered under the house in the future, these minerals will also belong to the owner of the house. In addition, the sky above the house also belongs to the owner. Of course, it no longer belongs after reaching a certain height.
, because there may be planes flying over there. It’s impossible to pay the homeowner just after the plane flies over once, right?”
I laughed immediately and said: "I think this policy seems more reasonable."
At this time Zeng Yufang finally spoke, "These countries are fundamentally different from our country in terms of other legal provisions.
I took the opportunity to ask: "Oh? What kind of situation is it?"
Zeng Yufang replied: "In countries such as the United States, their various taxes are very high, and the inheritance tax on properties such as houses is particularly high. It is completely different from our country's political and economic system."
I deeply agreed, "It should be like this. Otherwise, if one generation buys a house, their descendants will inherit it for free, and future generations will not need to struggle. Wouldn't it mean that the poor will never be able to make a comeback?"
Zeng Yufang said: "The establishment of any system has been demonstrated and studied in many aspects. What kind of political system there must be a corresponding economic system to support it. This is called: the economic base plays a decisive role in the superstructure; the superstructure
Architecture depends on the economic foundation and has a counterproductive effect on the economic foundation. These things are in middle school textbooks."
Zhang Shiyu, however, pursed his lips and said: "This is nonsense. Darwin said that humans evolved from monkeys. To be precise, some monkeys evolved into humans, but some monkeys are still in the trees today. Therefore, it is not
Not all economic bases can determine the superstructure. There are always some that do not conform to this rule. Now that the world is globalizing, the economic bases are basically the same. According to this, then the United States and the United Kingdom
, the superstructure of countries such as China, India, and Saudi Arabia should be the same. Many people now believe that what really determines the superstructure is the culture of the time, including national culture and foreign culture, as well as the rules of the game of thinking and social existence. For example,
Why is China's morality declining now? Is it determined by economic development? No! It is the inevitable result of our supervision culture being seriously lagging behind, and the inevitable result of the hidden rules of society!"
Zeng Yufang said: "This is nonsense. Humans did not evolve from monkeys, but from apes among monkeys. Monkeys and apes are two different concepts, and the same is true for the issue of economic foundation..."
I didn’t expect the two of them to start bickering like this as soon as they met. This was not what I wanted to see, so I interrupted Zeng Yufang before she could finish her words. I laughed and said, “Hey! What’s going on with you?
?Why are we quarreling over such a profound issue? This kind of issue is not something we can argue clearly. Shiyu, can you introduce us to the basic situation of New Zealand? We are your guests anyway, right?
As a host, you must know how to treat guests."

Zhang Shiyu and Zeng Yufang stopped talking immediately, and the car suddenly fell into a kind of silence. I asked Zhang Shiyu: "What are the people here like? Are they friendly?"
After a while, she answered me: "They are very friendly. If you need to move or something, they will take the initiative to help. The people here are very tolerant. They are not like the Chinese who retaliate and are tit-for-tat."
I didn't expect that she would bring the topic to this again, and I was even more worried that Zeng Yufang would fight back again, so I hurriedly said: "Shiyu, what you said is wrong. Aren't you Chinese?"
She replied: "I have immigrated and now I am an overseas Chinese in New Zealand."
I said: "No matter what, the blood flowing in your veins is still our Chinese blood. Shiyu, I don't like to hear you say such things. Overseas Chinese are Chinese too, aren't they?"
She immediately became angry, "Feng Xiao, did you come all the way here just to make me angry?"
I laughed hastily, "What? I'm here to make you happy. Your father asked me to ask how you are doing lately? Are there any other difficulties? Well, after we finish the business, I will talk to you specifically.
Let’s talk about it once. Is that okay?”
She said: "No, I want to be with you all the time."
I suddenly felt embarrassed, because there was Zeng Yufang behind us, and she probably didn’t know about the relationship between me and Zhang Shiyu before. But I didn’t think it mattered, because if Zhang Shiyu was regarded as a child, she would be like this
It's understandable, after all, her father was once the director of our hospital, and it's normal for a child to be fussy like this in front of his father's colleagues.
So I said: "Shiyu, don't be naughty? We really have business here this time. I'll call you after we finish our business. Okay?"
But she pursed her lips and said: "My dad has already told me that you came here specifically for my business. Don't lie to me."
I didn't expect that Principal Zhang would be so pampered by her and tell her everything. I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "After all, we received an invitation letter from the university here. We have to go through the formalities, right? Don't you think so?"
She asked me: "Then when are you going to call me?"
I thought for a while and said, "The day after tomorrow. Is that okay?"
She suddenly became dissatisfied, "Does it take two days to go through the motions?"
I suddenly laughed, "Is it impossible to go today? I want to have a good rest today. I have been out from Jiangnan for dozens of hours in total, and I am very tired."
She said: "Can I take you to a hot spring?"
I hurriedly said: "No. I want to sleep. Shiyu, be obedient. Let's do it the day after tomorrow."
She stopped talking, and I took her silence as a tacit consent.
We soon arrived in the city, and it basically felt like a metropolis. There were more high-rise buildings, but there were still mostly single-family villa-like buildings.
The streets looked very clean from the car, and the pedestrians and traffic were not as dense as in Jiangnan. I immediately felt that this was a clean and leisurely city. To be honest, I fell in love with this place right away, because this place
I suddenly had a refreshing feeling. It would be great if there was such a city in our country. I thought to myself.
