Chapter 220

On the second day of staying in Philadelphia, ye Xingyi had not adjusted his time difference before he was picked up by Lin Qiumo to apply for the art competition.

In order to resist the physiological clock, she poured her two large cups of black coffee, which made her face wrinkled.

Lin Qiumo also looked distressed, but there is no way, time is in a hurry, can only work hard, Ye Xing moved, and so on two months of the end of the game, you can have a good rest.

Ye Xingyi was also clear in his heart, so he didn't complain from beginning to end. After two cups of black coffee, people are in a lot of spirits.

When he got there, ye Xingyi found that it was the office of the state government.

Lin Qiumo explained: "this competition is jointly held by the state government. The state government intends to use this competition to publicize that Philadelphia is a city of art, suitable for tourism, and wants to generate income."

Ye Xingyi nodded her head to show understanding. No wonder Lin Qiumo has been recommending her to participate in the competition. She wants to get more attention in the past.

Under the leadership of Lin Qiumo, they soon arrived at the place where they signed up for the competition.

There are many people waiting in line. Ye Xingyi saw several familiar faces. Either she really knew them, or when she was in Philadelphia, she used to look around at art exhibitions and collect wind for some time, and got to know many of her peers.

It's just a nodding acquaintance, plus the occasion is not a chat occasion.

They just saw it, nodded, exchanged a kind smile, and didn't have a deep chat.

She and Lin Qiumo consciously stood at the end of the long line.

They were chatting with each other.

After a while, I saw a woman with curly hair coming out of the office.

She stood at the door and looked around, then her eyes stopped at Ye Xingyi.

Ye Xingyi doesn't know her, but she walks towards her with a smile.

She was in the fog when she came near with a strong Hong Kong and Taiwan accent and said, "at the end of autumn, I just heard someone say that I saw you coming. I don't believe it. I didn't expect it to be true. Are you going to join this year? "

It's not the one who smiles at himself, it's the one that elder martial brother Lin knows!

Ye Xing took a look at Lin Qiumo and saw him smile and explain: "thank you for your concern. I won't take part this time. It's to send my younger martial sister here."

"Younger martial sister?" She just looked at Ye Xingyi, and her eyes looked up and down at Ye Xingyi, with a little hostility in them.

Lin Qiumo nodded and said, "Xingyi, this is a famous new artist from Taiwan. She is also one of the judges, Ms. Chen Feilin."

Ye Xingyi smiles at Chen Feilin, politely reaches out his hand and introduces himself: "Hello, my name is Ye Xingyi. Nice to meet you."

"Ye Xingyi?" Chen Feilin frowned. She had never heard of the name.

She didn't look at Ye Xingyi's hand and said to Lin Qiumo directly: "since you don't attend at the end of autumn, it's boring to wait here. Why don't I show you around? I've just been hired as an art representative of the state government. I have a lot of inside information

She blinked at the end of autumn, obviously with impure intention. What she wanted to do was to get along with Lin alone.

Ye Xingyi takes back her neglected arm. She is a little distressed. I don't know how to know Lin Qiumo, such a friend.

Give him a look and let him know.

Lin Qiumo gave her a bitter smile.

He is also very helpless. At ordinary times, he will avoid Chen Feilin, but now she is one of the judges, so he can't offend her.

This woman is used to wearing shoes.

Whether he is willing or not, he is still pulled away by Chen Feilin.

Ye Xingyi continued to line up alone. It took about 20 minutes before he reached his destination.

She knocked on the door and then went in. In the office, there were three middle-aged people in strict dress looking at the information on the table in front of her.

It happened to be a white man, a yellow man, a black man, all male, all government officials, with a serious face.

Because this is an international competition, the staff's arrangement agrees with the style of Philadelphia.

When they heard someone coming in, the three of them looked at each other.

Ye Xingyi saw the unfriendliness in their eyes. He didn't know what their unfriendliness came from?

"Do you speak English?" The man with the same skin color as ye Xingyi should be a second generation Chinese. His Mandarin is not authentic, and his listening is very uncomfortable.

Ye Xingyi nodded, handed over his English materials and replied, "yes, I will."

The man took aim at the leaf star to move after one eye, also didn't nod, also didn't shake head. Just buried in her information, make ye Xingyi heart is very uneasy, as if he did something wrong.

At half a sound, the man finally looked up.

"Can you guarantee that what is written here is true?"

Ye Xingyi suddenly felt uncomfortable, not that she was sensitive, but that she had just observed the whole process of the two reporters in front of her.

From beginning to end, I didn't hear them ask this.

Ye Xingyi feels targeted. Why? She doesn't know why.

"Do you have any complaints about me?" Ye Xingyi's expression is very serious.

The man looked at him again and explained, "Miss ye, don't get me wrong. I'm not dissatisfied with Miss Ye. I just think you're young and a woman, so..."

"So what?" Ye Xingyi immediately interrupted and asked, "so do you have to doubt my ability? It's the first time I've seen the state government blatantly discriminate against women. "

That man a listen to Ye Xingyi say sexism words, immediately face flustered.

He glanced at the others in a hurry.

Fortunately, he just talked to Ye Xing in Chinese, and other people don't know what they said.

Sex discrimination is a serious charge in Philadelphia.

Ye Xingyi is able to go to the court to raise his level, and a lawsuit is accurate.

In order to secure his job, the man immediately said with a smile, "Miss ye, don't misunderstand me. The main reason is that we have precedents before. Please understand our data audit work."

What he said is magnificent. God knows if there is any precedent before.

Ye Xingyi pursed her lips and asked in a gruff voice, "how do you want me to prove that the information I filled in is true?"

The man played Tai Chi and said, "well? We'll look into it later. "

Because of his previous attitude, ye Xingyi left an eye on him and immediately said, "how long does it take?"

"About half a month. You know the efficiency of Philadelphia." He explained with a smile.

He is obviously bullying Ye Xingyi. He is a foreigner and doesn't know anything! Want to use small hand will this always with their own against the girl in the primary to be eliminated.

Unfortunately, he did not expect Ye Xingyi to stay in Philadelphia for five years.

Ye Xingyi sneered and said it in fluent English. The translation is, "in half a month, the registration will be closed. I don't know what your intention is, sir, and why other contestants didn't verify the information, but I have it here. I don't agree. I want to ask the member in charge of the contest whether he discriminates against me as a woman or an Asian. "

A string of fluent English down, everyone looked here.

The man who makes it difficult for ye Xingyi's face turns into a pig liver color.

He glared at Ye Xingyi and tried to explain to the other person.

Ye Xingyi is waiting quietly, but he has made a decision in his heart. She is in line with the requirements of this contest. If she is deleted, she will go to the State Councillor to ask for a clear answer.

Several people over there gathered around and talked in a low voice.

After a while, the one with blonde hair and blue eyes should be the general leader among them.

He looked at the information in his hand, and then looked at Ye Xingyi. He translated it into Chinese and asked Ye Xingyi, "Miss ye, we don't mean to discriminate against you. We really have a precedent. Let's do it! As long as you can prove your ability on the spot, your primary will pass directly. You see, is that ok? "

Obviously, they don't want to make a big deal.

This is an international competition, which makes a bad impression on the state government.

He said so, the leaf star moves again noisy words, is own not.

She bit the lip and held her anger down for a while.

They are deliberately making trouble for themselves. What she is good at is oil painting and ink painting. This is not a studio and there are no tools. What can she use to prove her ability?

What's wrong with women?

What about Asians?

Ye Xingyi takes a breath. Even if she doesn't have painting tools, she has to prove her ability and let them look at her with new eyes.

The glazed eyes swept around and asked them for a piece of white paper and a pencil that they often had in the office.

When she got the tool, she drew a little bit, and then she was absorbed in it.

She chose the most basic skills of character sketching, sketching is the interview of her three examiners.

Her mind was highly concentrated, and she soon accumulated a lot of sweat on her forehead.

Some people were painting on the spot, all of them were colleagues. Those people who had been in line couldn't help coming to Ye Xingyi's side and taking turns to see her painting.

Almost everyone can't help thumbing up after a look.

You have to look at me and I have to look at you. There is a lot of pressure.

When ye Xingyi finished the painting, they looked at their vivid expression on the white paper. This time, they were completely convinced.

"Congratulations, Miss Ye. You passed the primary

Ye Xingyi is not happy at all.

What if she proved her ability? Being treated differently is still a fact.

At the end of autumn, Lin managed to escape from Chen Feilin. Seeing that ye Xingyi, who had finished the interview, looked very bad, he immediately asked, "what's the matter? Star shift, haven't you

The primary election is just a passing event. You can't even pass the primary election without Ye Xingyi's ability.

"It's over."

Lin Qiumo more puzzled, ye Xingyi will be unfair to say.

"Too much! Go to them and apologize to you. " After Lin Qiumo listens, the face is black more pot bottom like, pull leaf star to move to want to go back.

But ye Xingyi shook his head toward him and said, "forget it, it's meaningless. I'll prove myself with my strength and hit them in the face."
