Chapter 350 The Legend of Running a Red Light in Germany
As soon as everyone got in the car, the driver started the car in silence and drove towards the highway.

The three experts and scholars sitting in the front row began to praise Germany in various ways and were very engaged in the conversation.

"This road is beautiful and elegant. Look at the roads in China, they are full of potholes."

"That's not building a road, that's corruption. Why build a highway? There are only a few cars in the country. What's the point of building a highway? It's just to facilitate corruption."

"Look at this traffic light. It's so beautiful."

"Of course. Why are the traffic lights so beautiful? It's because Germans take traffic rules very seriously. No one in the country runs a red light."

"I heard that running a red light will result in a heavy fine. Previously, a foreign student in China ran a red light and was expelled from school."

"This is the consequence of not following the rules. They should be taught a lesson. The Germans are very disciplined. Self-discipline is in their genes."

The three of them became more and more excited as they spoke, and their voices were clearly heard by the people around them.

The students sat upright, looking at the
The bus driver seemed to be blind to the red light in front of him and rushed through the intersection recklessly.

"..."

Ok?
Isn’t it said that Germans obey traffic rules?
Why did this driver run a red light?

The students in the car subconsciously looked at the three experts and scholars, and the expressions on their faces seemed a little stiff.

Professor He hesitated for two seconds and said slowly: "This driver is definitely not German!"

Director Sun immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, it must not be a German. Germans don't run red lights like this."

The staff member next to him immediately questioned the driver: "Why did you run a red light?"

The driver said gruffly, "What's wrong with running a red light? There are no other cars on the road. We're already late, and we have to speed up to get to Berlin before night."

The staff member retorted: "You are already three hours late, this is your problem."

"You can complain to the company if you have any problems." The driver said nonchalantly, "I'm the same as Deutsche Bahn. Do you expect us to be on time?"

The staff communicated with the driver through an interpreter, and their conversation was heard by the Chinese delegation.

The students in the car were a little confused. This driver...it seemed that the German was different from what they imagined. Could it be that he was not really German?

Also, why did he mention German Railways?
Director Wang was sitting in the front row. Faced with this situation, he suddenly had an urge to ask the driver whether he was German.

But after thinking about it, I decided to give up. If I ask this question, I will offend the experts and professors around me. Wouldn't that be a blatant embarrassment?

Director Wang said nothing, and the students dared not speak even more.

Qin Shaoyan nudged Edward with his elbow, and the other party understood immediately and suddenly interrupted and asked, "Mr. Driver, where are you from? Are you German?"

The driver was surprised. “Of course, I’m from Berlin and my ancestors were nobles.”

Judging from his proud tone, he is still an old Berliner.

Professor He's face immediately darkened and he turned around to see which student was talking so much.

Which school is this student from? He is talkative and has no organization or discipline at all. He must be taught a lesson when he returns.

From the accent, I can tell he's from Beijing.

When he turned around, he saw Edward sitting with his legs crossed, looking at him smugly.

As soon as he saw Edward's blond and blue eyes, Professor He nodded stiffly and quickly turned his head back, as if nothing had happened just now.

After the staff's protest, the driver restrained himself a little and stopped at the next red light.

The driver complained: "You are totally unnecessary to do this."

"It is necessary for traffic safety." The staff insisted that drivers obey traffic rules.

After all, there were not only students and administrative staff on the bus, but also his boss.

The driver may not care, but the staff cannot turn a blind eye. This is his job to ensure the safety of the entire team, especially the boss.

It would be unfair if the driver ran a red light and got into an accident.

Just as everyone was waiting for the red light, several cars sped past on the road, ignoring the red light one after another and driving straight through the empty intersection.

Then, in full view of everyone, several pedestrians ignored the red light and crossed the road straight away.

The Chinese student representatives were stunned and began to discuss in low voices.

"Don't they say Germans don't run red lights?"

"If you run a red light, you will be fired directly, and your family's credit will also be affected."

“But why did those people run the red light?”

"Perhaps they are not German?"

Professor He's face had turned dark at this time. The students' words came into his ears from time to time, as if they were mocking and questioning what he had just said.

He immediately became angry and stood up and scolded: "What are you doing? Who allowed you to talk? And what were you laughing at just now? What's so funny? You are disorganized and undisciplined. You have no manners at all in a foreign country. You are bringing shame to the Chinese people."

"You should learn more from the outstanding students abroad. They all received quality education, while you who were educated for the test only know how to take exams and have learned nothing else."

The Chinese college students immediately fell silent, while several foreign students in the back of the carriage were laughing and making noises without restraint, which formed a sharp contrast.

Professor He continued his rant. Under his tyranny, no student dared to speak and they just listened to him talk in silence.

The driver was getting impatient and yelled, "Hurry up and sit down!"

Professor He then stopped lecturing and sat down in his seat obediently.

Director Sun said solemnly, "Alas, the education gap is too big compared to other countries. China's education is doomed."

Professor He agreed with Director Sun's opinion. "I think this generation is doomed. People born in the 80s were spoiled and are the product of exam-oriented education. They are backward in all aspects."

Professor Feng also echoed, "You see, foreign students are different. They dare to express themselves, are enthusiastic and bold, and dare to speak and laugh. On the other hand, domestic students are different. They are inferior."

Suddenly someone interrupted and said, "I don't think it's the Chinese students who are bad, it's the Chinese teachers. Weren't the Chinese students joking and chatting just now, and they were scolded by you guys."

“Without professors to supervise them, foreign students are much more lively and outgoing.”

"China has professors like this. Education is doomed."

The students next to him were shocked when they heard this. Who is this person? How dare he say that!
But...it's so cool to say.

The students were all filled with emotion. What this warrior said was so good!

They are all young people, young and passionate, and rebellious. They will inevitably feel unhappy when being scolded by an old man. If the other party criticizes and educates them with reason, they will certainly listen, after all, they have done something wrong.

But the problem is that this professor says one thing and does another. He treats Chinese students in one way and foreign students in another way.

This kind of differential treatment aroused students' rebellious psychology.

What kind of professor is this? He's like an idiot.

The students felt good about it, but the people who were being criticized felt extremely angry when they heard it.

These students are really rebellious. They actually dare to criticize the professor. They have no respect for their elders!
Professor Feng's face flushed immediately, he stood up and shouted, "Who is talking? Stand up?"

Edward raised his chin defiantly, "I said it, what's your problem?"

Professor Feng stuttered, "No, no, nothing. Who are you? Who?"

"I'm Edward Norton, the vice president of TNB and the manager of Facebook's public relations department." Edward asked, "Who are you?"

"Ah, nice to meet you." Professor Feng said as he was about to extend his hand to shake hands with Edward.

The driver suddenly shouted, "That bastard who stood up, sit down now!"

The translator next to him immediately said, "The driver asked you to sit down. He said that you are the teacher leading the team and should obey traffic rules. Don't stand up casually in a moving car!"

Professor Feng sat back in his chair dejectedly, his embarrassed face covered in sweat.

Professor He was sitting next to him, watching Edward's heart. He recognized the moment Edward opened his mouth and knew it was the foreigner speaking with Beijing accent, but he didn't even raise his voice to remind him.

I just watched Professor Feng get humiliated the whole time, for no other reason than that he had just embarrassed himself a little bit, and the two people next to him were sitting still, so it was time for someone else to make a fool of himself.

If you both make a fool of yourself, it’s the same as if you haven’t made a fool of yourself.

Qin Shaoyan was very satisfied with the performance of the professors just now. My people haven't even started to play a role yet, but they started to do things on their own.

The effect of this program is even better than planned.

Qin Shaoyan looked at the photographer next to him and asked in a low voice: "Did you take pictures of everything just now?"

"Don't worry, boss." The photographer tapped the camera, "We recorded the whole thing. It's really true."

"We have two cameras running, and we will import the footage into the computer once we get to the hotel."

"Very good." Qin Shaoyan advised with satisfaction, "Be sure to preserve this precious video and put it online as educational material for students."

……

The scholars and professors who were slapped in the face repeatedly wisely shut their mouths and looked at the road ahead silently.

Without their noise, the students gradually became active, talking and laughing.

The three "scholars and professors" began to feel a little impatient. After all, they had been travelling more than 500 kilometers without saying a word and they were feeling very uncomfortable.

However, in view of what had just happened, Professor He and Professor Feng did not dare to start the conversation first and kept hinting to Director Sun with their eyes.

Director Sun pondered for a moment and said slowly: "This journey is a bit boring. We should take the train to Berlin. Taking the bus is boring."

"I heard that the German railway is very powerful."

Professor He immediately responded: "I have to admire the discipline and obedience of the German people. They can manage such a complex system as the railway in an orderly manner. Few other countries in the world can do that."

"If we had taken the train we would have arrived in Berlin by now. What a mistake the organizers made."

At this moment, a blond-haired, blue-eyed student suddenly stood up in the back of the carriage and said loudly in English: "Hi, I just heard someone say something about German Railways, and they praised its punctuality."

The translator in the car immediately began real-time translation, and several foreign students burst into laughter as if they had heard a funny joke.

Even the driver in front laughed heartily and joked: "If we take the train, we should be able to spend Christmas in Berlin."

Director Sun instinctively felt something was wrong when he heard the translator's words, but he didn't know what was wrong with what he said.

The foreign students in the carriage laughed louder and louder, and began to speak one after another, telling German jokes they had heard.

"My father said he and my mother had planned to take a train to Berlin for their honeymoon. My mother screamed, 'Are you crazy? Am I going to give birth on the train? There is no kindergarten there, how will our child go to elementary school? By the time the child gets off the train, he should be able to go to university."

"I have a brother who went to a German railway interview and was 15 minutes late. The interviewer asked him if he knew he was late. My brother said, I don't care. The interviewer was very satisfied and congratulated him on being accepted."

"I have a friend who took a train. It was a rare sight to see a train arrive on time. He excitedly hugged the railway staff and said that it was the first time in his life that he had seen a train arrive on time and that he should be praised in the news. The staff replied, put away your praise, this was the previous train, and your train would not arrive until two hours later."

The Italian students cheered and applauded the skit performed by the German students.

The Chinese students were stunned at first, but then they couldn't help laughing as they listened to the German students complaining about how unreliable the German railways were and how the entire railway system was a disaster.

At this time, the German student who stood up first picked up an electronic loudspeaker and said, "Everyone listen to me and look at me."

"I just heard an even funnier joke. It came from China. It's so funny that I can't help but share it with you."

"It comes from a book called The Cage of Institutions. It's horrible."

"On a winter night, it was snowing lightly. A German was in a hurry to get to his destination and ran a red light, hoping for the best. He was discovered by an old lady who couldn't sleep on the side of the road."

"What happened next was horrific. The next day, the man received a call from his insurance company saying his premium had gone up because he ran a red light."

"It turns out that all insurance companies in Germany knew through online information that he had a bad record of running a red light, and every insurance company would ask for an increase in his premiums."

"His mortgage was also required to be repaid early because the bank found out through online information that he ran a red light, and his children were expelled from school because he ran a red light."

Listening to the translation, the Chinese college students had complicated expressions, while the foreign college students were so excited that they were laughing.

"Oh my god, is this still Germany? It's even scarier than when the Führer was here. Just because of a red light, the entire national insurance, banking and education system can see it. Isn't this an invasion of privacy?"

"This is ridiculous. The person who made up this joke must be mentally ill. What an idiotic rumor."

"Oh my God, what kind of retarded child could make up something this outrageous."

"If that were the case, the Germans would have smashed the traffic lights, right?"

"Who knows, maybe the person who wrote the book is not very smart."

The Chinese college students didn’t find it funny at all and remained silent.

Director Sun said with a dark face, "What's wrong with this translator? He is translating nonsense while foreign students are chatting. What a meddlesome person!"

Professor He also sighed, feeling that the journey was really long.
