Qin Wei smiled and shook her head.
The reporter asked, "You think it's not good either, right?"
Qin Wei shook her head again, and then said to the reporter:
"The purpose of learning English well is not actually to have a very sophisticated accent, nor is it to show off how many languages you know. Rather, it is to accomplish what our predecessors did not - to complete the journey of our country becoming strong -
To make our country strong and stand at the pinnacle of the world. Follow the path walked by those before us, with no regrets."
The black fans:
"【Outlook】"
"【What an outlook!】"
"【Sister Qin's outlook!】"
"【This is what an outlook is!】"
...
Of course the above was also an afterthought. At this moment, Qin Wei had already discussed the rental car type and price with the airport staff, and went towards the designated location with the rest of her team.
The other three people had been standing there watching the luggage, so they didn't know what had happened at the information desk. They assumed it was all Liu Xin's doing, and were even more impressed with Liu Xin after getting on the car smoothly.
Liu Xin was very satisfied with this accidental turn of events, so she didn't explain much, just saying things like "Don't thank just her, Qin Wei actually helped too" to brush it off. In reality, she was enjoying the benefits of this misunderstanding very much.
Moreover, she was certain that Qin Wei's performance was because she had prepared in advance, since she herself had also prepared in advance, just not adequately enough. When the staff's answers were different from what the teacher had taught, she couldn't cope.
Qin Wei didn't care much about Liu Xin stealing credit. Anyway, she just wanted to coast along, even if the show said she had solved the problem, they wouldn't pay her extra.
Might as well let it go, conceal one's talents and virtues.

When the vehicle arrived downtown, it was already 2am. Everyone dragged their large and small bags to check into the apartment hotel. With no energy left to haggle over who would stay in which room, they simply divided into pairs, with Sheng Lin in a room by himself, and then hurried to sleep.
The next morning, Qin Wei woke up first and groggily went to the kitchen to find something to eat. To her surprise, she saw a young and handsome man standing in the kitchen, who waved to her.
The man was wearing crisp slacks and a white shirt, with a black apron tied around his waist. Seeing Qin Wei, he smiled to reveal pearly white teeth:
"Hi, I'm Gu Minghua. I've already prepared breakfast, are you going to shower first or come eat first?"
Qin Wei was stunned for a moment, then turned and walked towards the bathroom.
As she walked, she muttered to herself:
"Who is he? A staff member? Doesn't seem like it, I've never seen him before... A mermaid? Oh I'm too tired, I'm hallucinating..."
This scene was also broadcasted later -
【Hahaha Qin Wei was so sleepy she didn't even react to realize what was going on】
【Qin Wei and Hayden's first meeting was a bit funny, who knows what will happen next. And Qin Wei talking to herself was a bit of a cute contrast】
【Hayden is like the butler of an aristocratic lady. My lady, your breakfast is ready】
【But Qin Wei doesn't match such a good butler. And Hayden is a prince, not a butler anyway】
【Is this guy called Hayden? He only said his name was Gu Minghua. Looks quite handsome, I want to know more about him】
【Yes, Hayden is Gu Minghua. Ladies, investing in him won't disappoint you! He's a music producer who writes songs for top international singers. Graduated from a top music academy. Aside from looking good, he's very talented too! Just graduated with a Master's degree this year, he'll probably break into showbiz soon】
...
After showering and changing into long pants and a white t-shirt, Qin Wei went back to the kitchen. The man was still busy in the kitchen. Seeing Qin Wei come in, he didn't say anything and just brought her breakfast to the dining table.
Qin Wei took a bite of the bacon with her fork and nodded approvingly:
"Very authentic, Mr. Gu are you British?"
Gu Minghua smiled:
"My father is Chinese, my mother is British-Chinese mixed, so I inherited her light blue eyes. I lived abroad for a long time to go to school, but that doesn't affect my identity as a Chinese person...
But enough about me, tell me why you think this is authentic?"
Qin Wei took a sip of fresh orange juice, and dabbed her mouth politely:
"A standard English breakfast! Bacon, sausages, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, toast, and hash browns. It's no different from what I ate in England. It'd be perfect if there was black pudding too, that would make it a complete breakfast menu."
Gu Minghua was pleasantly surprised, and instinctively switched to conversing with her in English, but quickly realized she might not understand.
To his surprise, Qin Wei naturally replied in English as well.
Gu Minghua relaxed a lot more at this point. Having grown up abroad since young, he used English more often, and was always afraid of not being able to express himself fully in Chinese, so he was very careful when speaking it.
Now being able to speak English, and the other party understanding easily as well, reduced his concerns.
During breakfast, the two chatted, and Gu Minghua told her about his journey pursuing education, with bitter hardships and happy times. Qin Wei listened empathetically, as if she had experienced it herself.
If only she could share about her own struggles as a trainee overseas.
After it was aired, Qin Wei's language skills also sparked hot discussion online -
【Whoa I thought Sister Qin's airport English was prepared in advance, didn't expect her English to be so good? She can even chat with a native speaker!】
【Is Hayden really a native speaker? But Hayden's mother tongue is indeed English. As an international student I also feel Qin Wei's English is impressive. Being able to chat in English so naturally is definitely not just crammed temporarily. At least 3 years of practice, and with a good foundation of English input already...】
【Qin Wei really shocked me! She can carry luggage, shuck corn, fix cars, and speak foreign languages so fluently too. A real hidden gem! How did we not notice before?】
【Right, if she didn't reject hosting that international awards ceremony, her speaking skills could have totally handled it, might even have amazed many people (she amazed me for sure). Maybe she didn't bother showing off these skills before because her status was too high?】
【U1S1, language skills are 30% talent, 70% hard work. Old illiterate Qin must have worked hard secretly. Just this point alone, I'm shaken and want to change from a black fan to a passerby...】
【The one above, stay firm! A woman like Qin Wei deserves our continued attacks! Don't forget how she was arrogant, unprofessional, and cheated... That's right, her character is terrible, just like her acting skills. The movies she makes are trash! Not worth stanning!】
【Yes, just putting on an act and crafting a persona can't whitewash her. What's fake is still fake. As her black fans, as long as we watch her carefully, sooner or later we'll catch her revealing her fox tail. Then we'll drive her out of the industry】
【Right, Qin Wei cheating is unforgivable. And she has so much dark history too, you can check my page...】
