Chapter 611: Chapter 369 Zurich Federal Institute of Technology (6k long Chapter, please subscribe)_1

The flight from China to Switzerland takes about ten hours.

Ding Yue and his group of six departed from Yancheng at 9 o’clock in the morning. When they arrived in Zurich, Switzerland, it was already around 7 o’clock in the evening according to Yancheng’s time.

However.

Since Switzerland is in the Eastern European Time Zone, and Xia Country is in the China Standard Time Zone. Thus, there is approximately a seven-hour time difference between the two places.

In other words, 9 o’clock in the morning in Xia Country is 2 o’clock in the early morning in Switzerland.

And by the time Ding Yue and his team from Mist City Arts and Science University arrived in Zurich, it was around noon.

"We’ve been flying for ten hours, but it’s still daytime in Switzerland?"

Huang Youjie was a bit confused after getting off the plane.

He hadn’t considered the time difference.

Xu Bin then slapped the back of Huang’s head, "Are you stupid? Isn’t there a time difference?"

"Right, right. I forgot."

Hearing this, Huang hurriedly nodded.

Ding Yue felt rather energetic when he got to Zurich, Switzerland, probably because he had taken a nap on the plane.

The issue of jet lag did not seem to be a significant problem.

The other five people were in a similar situation to Ding Yue.

"Principal Ding, I remember Switzerland is in the Eastern European Time Zone, right? And Xia Country is in China Standard Time Zone, which means there’s a seven-hour difference between here and Xia Country, so the current time in Switzerland is... noon?"

Wen Ruohan began calculating earnestly.

Ding Yue glanced at Wen Ruohan. Seeing the young lady’s serious face as she calculated the time, he couldn’t help but find her a little adorable.

There is some distance from the airport to downtown Zurich, but Wen Ruohan came prepared. She contacted their five-star hotel to arrange a shuttle.

Additionally, before the trip, Wen Ruohan had already exchanged a large amount of Euros for Principal Ding to use for their expenses and shopping in Europe.

Shortly after, two hotel shuttles arrived and transported the group of six to downtown Zurich.

Zurich doesn’t seem to be as famous in Europe as Paris, London, Berlin, Prague, etc. At least, it seems less well-known back in China.

However, Zurich, as the largest city in the Swiss Confederation and the national center of politics, economy, culture, and transportation, is also one of the wealthiest cities in Europe. Zurich has been rated as one of the most livable cities in the world by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme for many years.

In Zurich, more than 120 banks have their global headquarters, and over half of these are foreign banks. Hence, it is also known as the "Billionaires’ City of Europe" and is one of the largest financial centers in the world.

After reaching downtown Zurich, Ding Yue noticed that the city was divided by the Limmat River, with the Old Town on the west bank.

And the New City District was on the east bank.

The hotel where Ding Yue and the others were staying was located in the New City District.

After arriving at the hotel, Ding Yue and his team checked into a luxurious five-star hotel. Since there was no need to stay in a presidential suite, they settled for an ordinary executive suite.

Despite the steep price, Ding Yue wasn’t bothered by the cost.

"Principal Ding, I’ve put your luggage here. I’m going back to my room now." After placing Principal Ding’s luggage, secretary Wen Ruohan prepared to leave.

"Good, you can go back and rest, try to adjust to the time difference."

Ding Yue nodded.

However, Wen Ruohan shook her head and said, "Well, Principal Ding, I took a nap on the plane, so I don’t think there’s a need to adjust the time difference."

As soon as Wen Ruohan had finished speaking, Huang Youjie and Xu Bin also arrived at Ding Yue’s room doorway.

"Just arrived in Switzerland, and you’re not resting?"

Ding Yue looked at Huang Youjie and Xu Bin, who were full of energy.

It seemed that everyone took a nap on the plane. Now that they had arrived in Switzerland, despite it only being noon, no one was tired. On the contrary, everyone was full of spirit.

The ACM International College Student Programming Competition starts at 2 PM Switzerland time tomorrow. If they were to rest now, they might have trouble sleeping at night, which would be bad for their performance the next day in the competition.

Upon this thought, Ding Yue frowned and said to Huang and Bin, "How about we go out for a walk?"

"That’s just what we were thinking!"

Huang Youjie excitedly nodded.

Xu Bin also nodded: "I talked with Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen about going sightseeing today, then rest well tonight, and be ready for the ACM contest tomorrow!"

"Alright then, let’s go!"

Seeing that Xu Bin and his computer team had a plan, Ding Yue readily agreed to the idea of sightseeing.

They could go sightseeing for the afternoon, then come back and have an early dinner and rest at the hotel. It was the perfect plan.

"Hehe, need a travel guide for Zurich?"

At this point, Wen Ruohan also got excited, waving her phone.

Before their trip, Wen Ruohan had already prepared travel guides for Zurich, Switzerland, and even the rest of Europe.

"Well done, Xiao Wen!" Ding Yue gave Wen Ruohan a thumbs up.

He had to admit that his personal secretary was incredibly meticulous and dedicated in her work. Ding Yue had lost count of how many times he had complimented Wen Ruohan.

When he first hired Wen Ruohan—a student in the secretarial studies program— as his secretary, Ding Yue didn’t have high expectations. He thought it would take several years before Wen Ruohan could fully grasp her job.
