Chapter 1878
Nine o'clock in the morning, Jin Ling Airport.
A middle-aged woman with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a tall figure walked out with big strides.
This woman's appearance could be considered very beautiful, but the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes showed that she was no longer young.
She was Kelly Wearstler, who was already over fifty years old.
However, because she was a designer, her outfit was very fashionable. If you didn't look carefully, you would think she was only in her early thirties.
When Kelly Wearstler walked out of the airport, Xiao Churan recognized her at a glance. As for Fei Kexin, she had read her information yesterday until her head was big, and she didn't react for a while.
However, Kelly Wearstler recognized Fei Kexin for the first time, so she waved to her very enthusiastically and shouted happily, "Feier! I'm here!"
Fei Kexin came back to her senses and recognized her, so she also said with feigned excitement, "Kelly! You finally came!"
While speaking, Kelly Wearstler had already arrived in front of the two.
Xiao Churan stood on the side like a primary school student, too excited to interrupt, while Fei Kexin pulled her in front for the first time and said to Kelly Wearstler, "Kelly, this is Ms. Xiao Churan, Xiao, whom I told you about on the phone. She likes you very much!"
As soon as she heard the three words Ms. Xiao, Kelly Wearstler instantly understood. She kept her task in mind, so she hurriedly said to Xiao Churan, "Hello, Ms. Xiao, I heard from Feier that you are also a designer. It's really great to meet a peer in China, and a young, beautiful, and big beauty at that!"
Xiao Churan didn't expect that Kelly Wearstler, whom she had never dared to greet actively, would greet her so enthusiastically first, and was a bit flattered for a while, so she hurriedly said, "Hello... Ms. Wearstler, I have admired you for a long time, and I am very happy to see you!"
Kelly Wearstler hugged Xiao Churan and said with a smile, "Don't be so polite! You are Feier's good friend, so you are my good friend!"
Fei Kexin smiled and said to Xiao Churan at this time, "I said Kelly is very enthusiastic, she is not as arrogant as ordinary famous designers."
Kelly Wearstler nodded and said very friendly to Xiao Churan, "We are all designers, so we must have more common language. So don't be so restrained in front of me, just treat me as your best friend. I heard from Feier that you will be our guide these few days to take us to visit Jin Ling, so we can also take time to talk about design experience, which might bring more inspiration to each other."
Kelly Wearstler's words indeed made Xiao Churan extremely excited, so she hurriedly said, "Ms. Wearstler, please rest assured, I am a native of Jin Ling and am very familiar with Jin Ling. I heard that this is your first time in China. I will definitely try my best to let you better experience Chinese culture and local customs!"
Kelly Wearstler smiled slightly and couldn't help but sigh, "Actually, I came to China once twenty-eight years ago, but that time I went to Yanjing."
Fei Kexin on the side heard this and felt a bit annoyed in her heart. Kelly Wearstler's feedback to Chen Yingshan was that she had never been to China, and she told Xiao Churan the same thing. How did she suddenly change her words?
So, taking advantage of the fact that Xiao Churan hadn't asked this question yet, Fei Kexin asked with feigned surprise, "Kelly, didn't you always tell me you hadn't been to China?"
Kelly Wearstler realized that she had just been unable to control herself and said the wrong thing, so she hurriedly explained, "Actually, when I first came to China thirty years ago, I was entrusted by someone to come to China to design a new wedding mansion for her. The other party was the most important noble person in my life. At that time, she told me not to reveal anything related to her to the outside world, so I have always claimed to the outside world that I haven't been to China."
Speaking of this, Kelly Wearstler couldn't help but sigh lightly and said sincerely, "That noble person is like a life mentor to me. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have today's achievements."
When Fei Kexin heard this, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Kelly, China twenty-eight years ago should have been very traditional, right? At that time, someone in China actually invited you to China to do private house design from the United States? This person is too avant-garde."
"Yes." Kelly Wearstler said with a bit of admiration, "My noble person, although Chinese, actually grew up in the United States. Later, she married a young master of a big family in Yanjing, so she moved from New York to Yanjing."
Fei Kexin frowned slightly and said, "You said she lived in the United States since she was a child, and invited you to China to do private house design, and didn't let you reveal it to the outside world. Is she very famous in the United States?"
Kelly Wearstler looked at Fei Kexin in surprise. She didn't expect this eldest lady of the Fei family to have such keen insight and find the key point all at once.
So, she smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Actually, thirty years ago, her fame in the American upper-class society was very, very big. Even now, many people still respect her when they talk about her."
When Fei Kexin heard this, she was even more curious and asked her, "If this is true, then maybe I have heard of her name. What is her name? Is it convenient to tell me?"
Kelly Wearstler thought for a while and smiled softly, "She has been gone for many years, so it's not inconvenient."
As she spoke, Kelly Wearstler put away her smile, her expression full of nostalgia, admiration, and a bit of sadness, and said, "Her name is An Chengxi. Thirty years ago, she was known as the investment queen of Silicon Valley. I don't know if you have heard of her. If you haven't heard of her, it's not strange. After all, she has been gone for nearly twenty years. When you were just born, she had already left the United States."
Hearing the three words An Chengxi, Fei Kexin was stunned!
She exclaimed, "An Chengxi... How could I not know An Chengxi? She is our..."
Speaking of this, she paused slightly and hurriedly added, "She is the pride in the hearts of countless Chinese people like us!"
In fact, Fei Kexin instinctively wanted to say that An Chengxi was the idol of all their Stanford University alumni, the spiritual leader who inspired all Stanford alumni to work hard, and a totem-like existence at Stanford.
At Stanford, no one doesn't know An Chengxi. Even though she has been dead for twenty years, Stanford University is still full of marks she left behind.
She is the female alumna with the highest ranking in the Stanford Hall of Fame. At Stanford and in Silicon Valley, she supported a large number of startup projects like fledgling eagles, and many of them have now grown into behemoths in the international internet and technology fields.
At Stanford, there are roads, teaching buildings, and student aid funds named after her.
At the same time, she is also recognized by all Chinese alumni at Stanford as the light of Chinese people at Stanford.
Although Fei Kexin had never met An Chengxi, she had heard too many of An Chengxi's deeds since she was a child.
Therefore, when she was very young, she regarded An Chengxi as her biggest idol in life.
And the reason she was admitted to Stanford was because she was influenced by An Chengxi.
And when she arrived at Stanford and learned more about An Chengxi's deeds, she was not only amazed but also admired her to the ground.
Deep down in her heart, she even felt that if her future achievements could be one-third of An Chengxi's back then, then she would not have lived in vain.
However, she never expected that this interior designer she met for the first time was actually an old acquaintance of An Chengxi!
So, she stood there dumbfounded, her heart already surging.
And at this time, Xiao Churan stood on the side, stunned.
This was the first time in her life she heard the name An Chengxi.
She didn't know what these three words represented, nor did she know what kind of intricate connection these three words had with herself. She just felt that this name sounded as beautiful as a poem...
