“I am Li Peiyuan, the director of the program team. Ha Chezai is our screenwriter, and there is also screenwriter Dongxu. This translator Song Hu once studied at Brown University and was your alumnus for a year. Hello.”
Director Li Peiyuan and the others stood with formal postures, like primary school students listening to the class teacher’s instructions. They each said hello with smiles and shook hands with Han Xuan one by one. The translator named Song also told: “You When I first came to Brown to study, I had not left. I once saw you at the school anniversary, and you were riding a bicycle with Principal Gregorian.”
Han Xuan’s memory was amazingly good, and he quickly recalled the scene at that time, but maybe not When he saw the other party, he looked very strange and replied in Korean: “Then I should call you senior brother, hahaha!”
