Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong entered Columbia University, first taking a tour before seeking out Richard in his office.
Since they had come all this way, it was only right to take a look around.
Xu Yang didn't feel much of anything in particular.
To him, compared to an ordinary college, a prestigious university differs only in its architecture, the level of its teachers, the caliber of its students, and the competence of its administrators.
Without interacting with the people inside the school and attentively experiencing the atmosphere of its various settings, one can hardly discern any difference.
It was merely a matter of observing what the buildings looked like.
Upon reaching the doorway of Richard's office, they found Richard's assistant standing there.
"You must be Mr. Xu Yang and Mr. Wang Xiaocong, hello, I am Professor Richard's assistant," the assistant said.
"Is Professor Richard available?" Wang Xiaocong asked.
