"No, we are Huaxia people!"
Qin Chuan hadn't expected Alisa to greet him proactively. After a brief daze, he immediately snapped back to reality and shook his head with a smile.
"Huaxia people?"
Alisa seemed surprised, her light blue eyes scanning Qin Chuan up and down.
"Does Huaxia really have handsome guys like you? I thought you were an oppa from Goryeo!"
"Your looks are similar to those oppas from there!"
Although what she said was a compliment to Qin Chuan's appearance, he wasn't pleased. He corrected her earnestly, "Esteemed lady, our magnificent Huaxia, even one province is larger than that Goryeo. There are countless handsome and dashing men, far more than one can count!"
"How can they possibly compare to those effeminate oppas!"
After speaking, Qin Chuan made a gesture to show his muscles.
He was a tall man of one meter eighty-five, with a straight posture, a natural clothes rack. Even overseas, he wasn't short. As he flexed, the distinct lines of his chest muscles were revealed beneath his black t-shirt.
This scene caused a faint glint to flash in Alisa's eyes.
"That's right, Huaxia is indeed much larger than Goryeo. I've always been curious about Huaxia. If I have the chance, I will definitely go and experience it."
Alisa said with a smile.
"That would be wonderful. If Miss Alisa comes to our Huaxia, I will surely do my best to host you."
Ding!
Just then, the fifteenth floor arrived.
Alisa waved at Qin Chuan, "Handsome guy, this is my stop. See you again if fate allows!"
"Esteemed lady, I believe we will surely meet again!"
Qin Chuan said with a smile.
After Alisa left, the elevator doors closed and continued to ascend.
"Boss, what were you talking about with that blonde foreign girl just now?"
Yao Dong and Bai Xiaoguang asked curiously.
They didn't understand English, so they felt like deaf people since arriving in this foreign land, unable to understand anything.
"We were talking about where we're going to book a room tonight!"
Qin Chuan said jokingly, "Don't you guys know that in the country of America, people are very open-minded? As long as a man and a woman hit it off, booking a room that same night is a perfectly normal thing."
"Holy crap, is that true?"
Yao Dong and Bai Xiaoguang looked excited, as if they had learned something new.
"Just kidding!"
"In this foreign land, never trust anyone easily, or you might find yourselves being harvested for your organs."
As he spoke, the eighteenth floor arrived. The elevator doors opened, but Qin Chuan didn't step out. Instead, he directly pressed the close door button and then pressed for one more floor.
His main purpose this time was to see why Alisa was going to the fifteenth floor. When the elevator doors opened on the fifteenth floor, Qin Chuan noticed it was a high-end Western restaurant. He figured she was there to eat.
Qin Chuan could have chosen to dine at this upscale Western restaurant as well, but if Alisa saw him, it might arouse suspicion.
After considering for a moment, Qin Chuan ultimately decided against it.
Having met Alisa today and leaving a small impression on each other had already achieved his goal. Meeting too often was not a good thing.
"Let's go, we should find a restaurant to eat too!"
"After dinner, I'll take you guys to tour Los Angeles."
Qin Chuan said.
While eating, Qin Chuan called Fang Rumei to inquire about the specific situation on their end.
"We've been keeping an eye on Carl. He's having dinner with some friends."
"Qin Chuan, what about your side?"
Fang Rumei asked.
"Us? We've completed our mission, we've met Alisa."
"However, considering that being too eager might have adverse effects, I'll take two brothers to tour Los Angeles this afternoon."
"Do you guys want to come?"
Qin Chuan extended an invitation.
"I come to Los Angeles often, so I won't be joining. I wish you a pleasant trip!"
"Alright, call us anytime if something comes up. We're off to have fun."
After Qin Chuan hung up the phone, Fang Rumei clutched her mobile phone tightly, veins bulging on the back of her hand, her entire face as dark as water.
"Boss, did something happen?"
Guo Zixian and Ding Yong noticed their boss's unusual expression and asked with concern.
"Why?"
"Why is it that when other people accomplish something, it's so effortless and twice the results with half the effort, but for us, it's always so difficult?"
Fang Rumei muttered to herself, appearing to have suffered a considerable blow.
"Boss, what exactly happened?"
Guo Zixian and Ding Yong became completely nervous.
"Zixian, Ding Yong, Qin Chuan just called to say that he has already met Alisa and completed the mission. This afternoon, he's taking two brothers to tour all of Los Angeles."
Fang Rumei came back to her senses and told her two subordinates about Qin Chuan's situation.
"What do you think, is the gap between people really that big?"
"We worked so hard all morning, but the intelligence we obtained is less than half of his, and our time spent is more than double theirs."
"I originally thought it was just a coincidence, but I didn't expect Qin Chuan's efficiency to be so high during lunchtime."
"He's already met Alisa, but we're still here, stuck in a stalemate, only able to watch Carl from afar. Let alone meeting each other, he hasn't even noticed us."
Guo Zixian and Ding Yong fell silent upon hearing this, their expressions grim.
Even though they didn't want to admit it, after being proven wrong repeatedly, they truly realized that there was a gap between people.
What others could accomplish with ease was so difficult for themselves...
Seeing their boss looking so heartbroken and distressed, Guo Zixian and Ding Yong didn't know how to comfort her.
"Especially since that guy only has a junior high school education. Among the three of us here, in terms of academic qualifications, who doesn't surpass him by several levels?"
Just then, Fang Rumei dropped another bombshell.
"What?!"
Guo Zixian and Ding Yong were stunned. This was the first time they had heard this news.
As far as they knew, they only knew that Qin Chuan came from a 18th-tier small county, and they had never even heard of that small county before.
It was precisely because of this that Guo Zixian and Ding Yong had always maintained an air of superiority, treating Qin Chuan, their so-called partner, with indifference.
If it weren't for Yang Zimo's sake, they felt this collaboration would have been impossible.
"That Qin Chuan really only has a junior high school education?"
Ding Yong asked incredulously.
"Of course, he told me that himself."
Fang Rumei said, "When we were flying here."
"He also told me that a person can be without a diploma, but not without knowledge. Although I outwardly agreed, in my heart I always felt some skepticism."
"A diploma might not determine everything, but people without diplomas generally lack in terms of thinking and cognition."
Fang Rumei's expression was peculiar as she said this.
"However, in reality, the things we prided ourselves on have been repeatedly challenged by that guy, putting us at a disadvantage everywhere."
"Not only can he speak fluent English, which is something a person with only a junior high school education who has never even left the country couldn't possibly master, but his efficiency in handling matters is also surprisingly good."
"I now understand a bit better why someone as proud as Yang Zimo would take a liking to such a person."
"He seems to be truly extraordinary!"
Guo Zixian couldn't help but say, "Boss!"
"Do you think that Qin Chuan might have been playing a trick on us all along?"
"He doesn't really have a junior high school education..."
Fang Rumei was startled and fell into thought.
