Chapter 368: Meeting a Confidant on a Blind Date, an Unforgettable Night

"Ms. Guo just came back from abroad. Are you used to life in China?"

Guo Jing answered politely.

"It's okay. After all, this is my hometown. I always feel a sense of familiarity here."

The two chatted about everything from their experiences of life abroad to their respective interests and hobbies.

Mingcheng and Guo Jing continued their conversation on the sofa, and the atmosphere gradually became natural.

Mingcheng asked with a smile.

"Ms. Guo Jing, I wonder which university in the United States you studied at?"

Guo Jing replied with a hint of pride in his eyes.

“I’m at Cornell University in the United States.”

When Mingcheng heard this, he couldn't help but show an expression of admiration.

"Cornell University is indeed a very famous institution. You must have put in a lot of effort to complete your studies there."

Guo Jing nodded slightly.

“It’s certainly not easy, but it’s also very rewarding.”

Mingcheng then asked.

"Can you tell me about your life in the United States? You must have had many interesting experiences."

Guo Jing lost himself in memories and spoke slowly.

"My time in the United States was very stressful, but it also allowed me to experience a different culture and academic atmosphere. In my spare time, I participated in club activities and made many friends from all over the world."

Mingcheng listened attentively, occasionally agreeing with them. Then he asked again.

"So, after you return to China this time, do you have any specific development plans?"

Guo Jing's eyes became firm as he spoke.

"I came back to China this time to contribute to the development of biology in China. I have already received an invitation from the Shanghai Institute of Natural Sciences and am preparing to take up the position there."

Mingcheng heard this and praised repeatedly.

"That's great! It's a great thing to be able to apply what I've learned to practical use and help the country develop."

Guo Jing smiled and said modestly.

"I'm not great at all. I just want to do my part to make our country less backward."

Mingcheng looked at her deeply and said.

"Ms. Guo, it's truly remarkable that you have such a heart. In this day and age, people like you who are patriotic and willing to contribute to the country's progress are truly precious."

Guo Jing was touched by Mingcheng's words, and his eyes sparkled.

"In fact, there are many international students like me around me. We are all full of passion and hope to contribute to the prosperity of our motherland."

Mingcheng nodded with emotion.

"Yes, everyone is working hard, and I believe our country will get better and better."

After that, the two fell into a brief silence, each thinking about the future of the country.

At this moment, the distance between them seemed to be shortened, not only because of communication, but also because of their common patriotism.

After a while, Mingcheng broke the silence.

"Ms. Guo, I look forward to your outstanding achievements in the research institute."

Guo Jing responded with a smile.

"Thank you for your good wishes, and I hope we can have more opportunities to communicate in the future."

In return, Mingcheng also talked about his study abroad experience.

After listening to Mingcheng's study abroad experience, Guo Jing's eyes showed admiration and he praised him repeatedly.

"The University of Paris is a world-renowned institution. The fact that you can study there speaks volumes about your excellence."

But then she frowned slightly and asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"However, you studied economics and finance, but now you work for the new government. This doesn't seem to match your major."

Mingcheng's expression remained unchanged as he answered calmly.

"My eldest brother is the Chief Financial Advisor in the Economic Department of the Ministry of Finance of the new government. I help him with some affairs and am his secretary, so to speak."

Guo Jing nodded thoughtfully.

"I see. But I feel it's a pity that your major is wasted."

Mingcheng smiled slightly and said.

"Not necessarily. The knowledge I learned can still be used in many areas."

Changing the subject, Mingcheng took the initiative to mention it.

"Actually, I took art courses at the University of Paris. The art in Paris is truly the most beautiful and elegant in the world."

Guo Jing's eyes lit up and he said.

"Coincidentally, I also have my own understanding and insights into art."

Mingcheng looked at Guo Jing with interest and said.

"That's great. I'd like to hear more about it."

Guo Jing pursed his lips and began to speak.

"In my opinion, art is an expression of the human soul. It is not limited by language, region, or time, and can touch the deepest emotions of every viewer. Whether it is a painting, a piece of music, or a sculpture, it contains the creator's hard work and thoughts."

Mingcheng nodded slightly, expressing his deep agreement.

"You're absolutely right. Art is like a window, allowing us to see the inner world of the creator. Moreover, through art, we can experience the charm of different cultures and eras."

Guo Jing continued.

"That's right. Take, for example, Impressionist paintings. Their bold use of color and unique capture of light and shadow seem to freeze the beauty of the moment forever on the canvas. Every time I appreciate them, I feel as if I'm in that poetic moment."

Mingcheng sighed.

"Indeed. And classical music, with its beautiful melodies and complex harmonies, can evoke the most delicate emotions in people's hearts."

Guo Jing said with a smile.

“For me, art is also a way to vent my emotions. When the stress and troubles in life cannot be expressed in words, I can find inner peace and balance through creating or appreciating works of art.”

Mingcheng deeply agrees.

"I'm the same way. Sometimes, faced with complex situations and helpless realities, art becomes a safe haven for my soul. In front of the canvas, I can let go of all pretense and defenses and reveal my true self."

There was a gleam in Guo Jing's eyes.

"It seems we are really similar in this respect. Art allows us to transcend the constraints of reality and pursue inner freedom and beauty."

Mingcheng nodded and said.

"Furthermore, art can give us a deeper understanding and appreciation of the world. It teaches us to look at things from different perspectives and discover the beauty and meaning that are often overlooked."

Guo Jing responded.

"Yes, just like those seemingly ordinary street scenes, they can show unique charm and stories under the artist's pen."

The two of them became more and more interested in each other as they talked, and the topic extended from Western art styles to traditional Eastern art.

Mingcheng said.

"Traditional Chinese calligraphy, each stroke contains endless charm and power. The shape and structure of each character reflects the calligrapher's mood and emotion at the time."

Guo Jing nodded in agreement.

"And then there are Chinese landscape paintings, whose ethereal and distant artistic conception makes one feel as if they can transcend the hustle and bustle of the world and enter a peaceful world."
