Chapter 957: Chapter 957: Finally Recognizing What the Gap Is

And Nathalie Quinlan chose the Chinese Medicine Department.

Everyone knows that the Chinese Medicine Department at Tsinghua University is the worst major there, with the number of applicants each year not even reaching double digits—no one is willing to study it.

”I didn’t see it wrong, Nathalie has actually entered Mr. Avalon’s private room,” Myles Sullivan’s breath was also somewhat unstable, his tone very solemn: ”I didn’t expect her enrollment in Chinese Medicine Department could prompt Mr. Avalon to come out of retirement, that is to say, she now has two teachers, one is Mr. Norton, the other is Mr. Avalon. If I’m not guessing wrong, her major is Chinese Medicine, with a minor in music...”

Myles Sullivan truly regretted it now, the corners of his eyes and his eyebrows revealed sudden weariness: ”I really did not expect Mr. Avalon to come out of retirement. Just now, I even saw people from the medical organization in the private room, judging by the arrangement, even though Mr. Avalon’s apprentice welcome banquet is a small gathering, those who came are all of great worth. Everyone Mr. Avalon could bring in terms of connections has come.”

”Reynaldo Vinson isn’t someone who would casually show up and dine with just anyone in Beijing; so many people want to butter him up but can’t find the connections. I heard that when he had a car accident, it was entirely thanks to Mr. Avalon’s acupuncture that he kept one of his legs, preventing him from being paralyzed and bedridden. Because of this relationship, he has always respected Mr. Avalon, and only Mr. Avalon could make him come out for an apprentice welcome banquet.”

His voice was low, and every word seemed to pierce the hearts of the three people:” Not to mention those acquaintances we know, Mr. Norton, Stephanie Tanzil... If Nathalie connects with Mr. Avalon’s circle, let’s not even talk about other things—within the academic circles, she would be considered top class! People in Beijing will have to see her in a new light.”

After he finished speaking, he looked back at Ghania Quinlan with a deep sigh, hesitated as if wanting to say more, but said nothing. The stark contrast in his gaze, nonetheless, caused a sharp pain in Ghania Quinlan’s heart.

Ghania Quinlan’s face, which had always maintained a gentle and placid expression, finally began to crack, her palm already pinched raw and bleeding.

All this time, she had been comforting herself with professional matters, but when the truth came, she was informed that the last place she thought she could win against Nathalie was nothing more than a dream, as if she was pressed down by an endless darkness, unable to deceive herself any longer!

*

In the private room, Mr. Avalon, Shawn Norton, and others were present, with about thirteen or fourteen people in total, all prestigious figures in Beijing.

Apart from a few people related to the medical organization, the rest, like Stephanie Tanzil, all belonged to the Beijing elite Circle.

One could tell that Mr. Avalon was truly valuing this student.

Stephanie Tanzil was chatting with Reynaldo Vinson, seated steadily in her place. Reynaldo Vinson is a figurehead of the Vinson family, and the Vinson family has a good relationship with the Yancey Family; Reynaldo Vinson’s son, Sadam Vinson, is famously close to Amadeus Yancey, a playmate in a small circle. Although the Tanzil family has never allied with any power in Beijing, they have always been tactful, offending no one and able to mingle with everyone.

Everyone is in the same Circle, so saying they do not know each other would be false.

Thus, meeting today, Stephanie Tanzil still had some intermittent small talk with the other party, merely some trivial matters about Beijing.

Reynaldo Vinson is not someone good at small talk, or rather, has an introverted personality. Seeing that the other party was not very interested after she found a few topics to chat about, she relaxed against the back of her chair and stopped trying to sustain the conversation, simply raising her hand to check the time on her wristwatch, lifting her spirited brows slightly, her face wearing a faintly amused look.

She heard that Mr. Avalon’s newly accepted student was someone from a small place, young and not short on pride, having made all these distinguished individuals wait for half an hour and still not arrived.
