After dinner, Jiang Yufei returned to her room and immediately opened her laptop.
However, none of her three roommates were online, so it seemed they hadn't finished get off work yet. Jiang Yufei sent an emoji to the group chat.
She then searched online for the Lausanne College that she had heard people mention earlier that day.
She was shocked when she looked into it. After reading about the Lausanne Hotel Management School in Switzerland and reading online reviews, Jiang Yufei realized that she had actually attended a diploma mill. It was ridiculous that none of her teachers had ever mentioned these top-tier hotel management schools during her time there.
The Lausanne Hotel Management School was founded as early as 1893, making it the world's first hotel management school and undoubtedly the top brand in the global hotel management field.
It has also received numerous international accreditations. Judging from online pictures, the school is very beautiful and reportedly has its own simulated hotel, fine dining restaurant, wine tasting lab, and innovation center.
Jiang Yufei noticed that this school also had a branch in Singapore. The little girl was proud and had been looked down upon today, so she was still a little unhappy. Suddenly, she had an idea.
The Lausanne Hotel Management School in Singapore also offers a postgraduate program in hotel management, as well as short-term training courses.
What actually attracted the young girl the most was the online reviews. The Lausanne Institute's diploma is a globally recognized gold standard in the hotel industry, and with this diploma, you can apply for a job at any hotel.
The tuition fees are too high. A three-year master's degree costs 150,000 Swiss francs, and even a short-term training course costs 30,000 Swiss francs.
Just as Jiang Yufei was feeling anxious and uncertain, her roommates came online one after another.
Xiao Nuzi Bu Cai (Shen Yicai): "Feifei, why did you leave work so early? What position were you assigned to?" She then sent a tired emoji.
Liu Xiu, a skilled dancer, first flashed a crying emoji, "I'm exhausted! I haven't stopped all day and I've changed the bedding on over a hundred beds."
Zhu Yanyurun (Zhu Yuanyuan): "I'm not much better off. I was assigned to the catering department, and they make me do all sorts of odd jobs. Do I look like a maid?" She added a wronged emoji at the end.
Jiang Yufei: "I was assigned to the sales department. I haven't been given any tasks yet. I spent the whole day looking at hotel information, and they let me leave at 5:30."
The young woman, Bu Cai (Shen Yicai), expressed several surprised expressions: "No way?"
The shrewd and resourceful Liu Xiu exclaimed, "I can't live anymore! How can there be such a huge difference between people?!"
Zhu Yanyurun (Zhu Yuanyuan) sent a curious emoji: "What does the sales department do?"
Jiang Yufei: "It's about contacting major clients to hold meetings at the hotel or signing long-term cooperation agreements with large companies and organizations, and arranging for their clients to stay at our hotel."
Then she asked, "Why are you only getting off work now?"
Zhu Yanyurun (Zhu Yuanyuan) responded first: "I think I've figured it out now. The hotel where we did our internships treats us like free cattle. I regret it so much! Why did I choose such an unlucky major? I should have gone to a railway college instead."
Xiao Nvzi Bu Cai (Shen Yicai): "Xiu and I were both assigned to the housekeeping department, but not on the same building. The hotel where we are interning has two buildings, A and B. I was assigned to B, and Xiu is in A. Yuanyuan is better off. At least their catering department has at least two hours of rest time in the afternoon. I have to squeeze in a bathroom break."
Liu Xiu, a man of great talent and skill, said: "The thought of having to stay here for a year makes my heart sink."
Jiang Yufei also poured out her grievances: "I'm not much better off than you guys. Looking around, I don't know anyone. This morning, my department head complained about me for half a day, saying that our school is a diploma mill and that if I don't meet my performance targets, I'll be fired."
Liu Xiu, the smooth talker: "Really? Feifei, they dare to bully you like this? Didn't you tell them who you are? You're a relative of Huang Xiaochuan!"
"I'm not rich (Shen Yicai): That's right, your minister is really bold."
Jiang Yufei sent a wronged emoji: "My aunt and my family don't allow me to say anything carelessly, especially not to mention that Uncle Huang is my relative."
Zhu Yanyurun (Zhu Yuanyuan): "If it were me, I wouldn't care, I'd just reveal my identity."
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Jiang Rong's voice came from outside: "Feifei."
Jiang Yufei quickly closed her laptop and shouted back, "Hey, I'm here!"
She then got up and opened the door: "Auntie!"
After entering the room, Jiang Rong glanced around casually and asked, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Yufei replied with a smile, "Oh! I'm looking up information about hotel management schools abroad."
Seeing her niece's eagerness to learn surprised Jiang Rong, but she was still very happy that she knew it was a good thing: "It's good that she knows how to take the initiative to learn."
"Auntie, you don't know, our minister looked down on my school, saying it was a diploma mill." Jiang Yufei took the opportunity to complain.
Hearing her niece's words, Jiang Rong thought to herself, "Although what that minister said was unpleasant, he was right. That third-tier private undergraduate college is nothing but a diploma mill!"
"So! While you're young, you must find ways to learn and improve your skills and abilities." Jiang Rong, being a teacher, started lecturing without even realizing it.
However, this time Jiang Yufei listened to the advice, which was rare for her. In the past, whenever someone advised her to study hard, she would ignore it. But today, she felt that what they said made a lot of sense. Because of the school she attended, she was looked down upon. As the saying goes, even a clay figure has some spirit, let alone Jiang Yufei, who is a girl with high aspirations.
She said directly to her aunt, "Auntie, I just looked up some things online. It turns out that hotel management is also divided into different levels. The best school is in Switzerland, called the Lausanne Hotel Management School."
After all, she had raised her since she was a child, and Jiang Rong knew immediately that her niece had something on her mind.
"You want to study in Switzerland?"
Jiang Yufei quickly waved her hand: "No, no!" Then she pulled her aunt to the desk, opened her notebook, and showed her the information she had just been looking at.
Jiang Rong sat down and slowly flipped through the pages, which took her almost half an hour.
After reading it, Jiang Rong had some thoughts in mind, but she didn't show them. Instead, she asked her niece, "Tell me, do you have any ideas?"
Jiang Yufei pursed her lips and mustered her courage: "Auntie, I feel that even if I get a diploma, it won't be of much use. So I want to go out and take a short training course. If I can get a training certificate from the Lausanne Hotel Management Institute, then I can work in any hotel in the future and won't be looked down upon anymore."
Jiang Rong was naturally very happy that her niece had taken the initiative to improve herself. This was the first time ever.
She asked, "How much is the tuition? How long does the training last?"
Jiang Yufei answered truthfully: "I have checked. The Singapore branch has short-term training courses, which last for six months. The tuition fee is 30,000 Swiss francs, and with room and board, it's about 200,000."
Jiang Rong didn't respond to her niece immediately, but simply said, "Okay, I understand. You should focus on your internship first. It's good that you want to improve yourself. I'll look into it first."
Jiang Yufei didn't expect to go to Singapore for training right away; she was just sharing her idea with her aunt first.
