Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 563 - 562: Cool and Stylish
"It's a rare coincidence to meet like this, let's do it together." After the final cheek-to-cheek greeting with Lilia, Ge Dongxu said with a smile.
Ge Dongxu's words were very casual, just like chatting among friends, without the deliberate intent that Sun Wenjun and Lv Chongliang had shown before.
"Sure!" Lilia and the others agreed without hesitation.
"The four teachers..." Seeing that Nico and the others were originally going to join them for the tour but changed their minds immediately upon Ge Dongxu's arrival, Sun Wenjun felt extremely frustrated, and he was a bit unwilling to give up.
"Thank you for the invitation, student, but we have decided to join Ge and the others for a tour of Golden Mountain," Nico interrupted before Sun Wenjun could finish his sentence.
"Yes, thank you," Lilia and the others chimed in.
As women who had the courage to seek a livelihood in a foreign land, and who were foreign language teachers at a university no less, Nico and her colleagues were obviously intelligent. They could easily see that Lv Chongliang and his group were not on the same page as Ge Dongxu and his friends, so they did not invite Sun Wenjun and his group to join them.
"Hehe, you're welcome, I hope you all have a good time!" Sun Wenjun tried to appear as gentlemanly as possible, forcing a smile that was barely better looking than a cry.
"I also hope you enjoy yourselves!" said Nico, and then she added with an eager tone, "Let's get going!"
So, the original group of five became a party of nine, including four vibrant and sexy blonde beauties in the prime of their youth.
As they moved along, they caught the eyes of countless people, they didn't know how cool they looked, and they had no idea how many Huaxia men secretly gave Ge Dongxu and his group the thumbs up.
"Youth is to be envied! At my age, I don't even know where to find a girlfriend, and here they are, already starting to woo foreign beauties!"
Of course, the most impressive of all was Ge Dongxu; Nico, the prettiest among them, was almost always revolving around him. Sometimes, she even pulled him over, looped her arm around his neck, and struck poses for photos.
Lilia and the others also developed a fondness for him because of Nico, and sometimes when the four took group photos, they would pull Ge Dongxu in. This scene nearly made some tourists' eyes pop out of their heads.
"He really brings pride to the men of Huaxia. One man courting four foreign beauties!"
Besides Ge Dongxu, the next in line for the limelight was Lu Lei. Being the tour guide, he did the commentary along the way and received relatively special treatment from Nico and her friends.
This caused Lu Lei to deviate from his usually reserved demeanor, almost turning into a chatterbox.
As for Sun Wenjun, he had initially felt quite prestigious bringing a few foreigners to tour around, but because of the sensation Ge Dongxu and the others had caused, they were naturally overlooked. There were even some locals from Golden Mountain County who, upon passing by, said to each other in dialect, "The foreign beauties he brought are so subpar! The ones from earlier were the real deal, with their faces and figures, absolutely top-notch!"
Sun Wenjun was from Golden Mountain and naturally understood what they were saying. At the moment, he almost spouted blood in anger, his gaze inadvertently filled with resentment as he watched Ge Dongxu and the others walking away.
During their hike, Ge Dongxu and the others not only learned the names of the four teachers but also the countries they came from.
Nico was from the United States and taught English, Eva was from Germany and taught German, Justina was from France, and Lilia was from Russia.
As for their ages, although it wasn't appropriate to ask, given that they only taught their mother tongue, there weren't very high requirements for their qualifications, so all of them were likely under thirty years old. Unlike other professions, if one wanted to teach at Jiangnan University, even the least accomplished lecturer needed a master's degree, so they were generally over thirty. As for professors, it was common to think that without reaching at least thirty-five or thirty-six years old, one shouldn't even consider it, unless they were exceptionally talented and received a promotion like Wu Yili.
The food prices in the scenic area were high, and everyone was worried that eating might delay their schedule, especially since they had come from Linzhou City. It was going to be tight to tour Golden Mountain in one day, so at noon, they just casually had some instant noodles and biscuits.
"After we descend the mountain and return to the county town, I'll treat you to our very own authentic Golden Mountain cuisine," Lu Lei said after they had made do with their lunch.
"That's great! I love the cuisine of Huaxia Country the most. We planned to hike during the day and eat some local specialties in the county town at night, then have a good night's sleep. The next day we planned to visit your Immortal Ancient Town before heading back to the school in the afternoon. We were worried about being in an unfamiliar place and not getting to taste authentic Golden Mountain food, but with you as our local guide, there should be no problem," said Lilia, the Russian beauty who spoke Chinese the best, immediately praising the idea.

"Absolutely no problem!" Lu Lei immediately slapped his chest in assurance.
After the dinner plans were set, the group of nine continued their tour of Golden Mountain.
It wasn't until the sun was about to set that the nine of them descended the mountain.
On the way down, Lu Lei borrowed Nico's phone to call his father.
Of course, Lu Lei had no idea that Ge Dongxu had a mobile phone.
The conversation Lu Lei had with his father was in the Golden Mountain dialect; not only could Nico and the others not understand it, but even Ge Dongxu and his group could barely make heads or tails of it.
"What? You're bringing four foreign teachers with you as well? Didn't you say yesterday it was just the three classmates from your dorm? So, your mom and I went to the market early in the morning to buy groceries, planning to cook and eat at home tonight. It looks like that won't be appropriate now," said Lu Ming, inside a room on the third floor of the Golden Mountain County government dormitory building, realizing that his son, who had become increasingly introverted and reticent since second year of junior high, was bringing home four foreign teachers. He felt both proud and happy that his son was truly growing up and mixing with foreign teachers, but also worried about the appropriateness and expense of dining out at a fancy place.
Lu Ming, a man of integrity in his official capacity, worked at the Archives Bureau, an institution known for its modest salaries. His monthly earnings were mostly a fixed salary. Although not poor, after all a civil servant and head of a bureau, he was not rich either since he relied solely on his salary.
For someone like Lu Ming, who was not quite as well-off as some but still better off than many, living a modest life was quite comfortable. However, this year his son Lu Lei went to university in the provincial capital, which significantly increased the family's expenses. Moreover, a significant amount of money was spent last year on surgery for an elderly family member. As a result, the life of Director Lu was not as comfortable as people might imagine; in fact, it was somewhat strained.
With the economic development of the country, prices were also rising. Inviting eight people, including his family of three, a total of eleven, to dine at an upscale restaurant in the county town would cost at least three to five hundred yuan. If the foreign teachers ordered any imported wine or such, the expense could climb even higher.
