Chapter 15 Kassel? What college?!
Chapter 15 Kassel? What college?!
"Mingfei, I've missed you so much!"
Lu Mingfei nimbly dodged the foreign old man who was lunging at him.
Are you Guderian?
"Genuine and authentic." Guderian, who has the typical appearance of a foreigner, spoke fluent Chinese.
"I'm so glad to finally meet you, Mingfei!" He seemed very excited.
Even though Lu Mingfei ruthlessly avoided him, Guderian was still as enthusiastic and proactive as a simp meeting a goddess, with a faint glimmer in his eyes.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Professor Guderian from the Kassel College. I am here to visit you on behalf of your parents and the principal of Angers, and also to help with the college's preparatory course admissions."
He revealed his name and background, hoping that Lu Mingfei would be moved.
But Lu Mingfei remained calm and composed.
"Where are my uncles?"
"They don't know I'm coming yet," Guderian said, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.
"I came here specifically for you, so of course I'll see you first, Mingfei."
It sounds like a simp confessing his love to his goddess.
Nuonuo, who was leading Lu Mingfei in, thought to herself.
Professor Guderian has been suppressing his feelings for far too long; the allure of tenure is truly immense.
She remembered that the other party should have taught a student before, so how did things end up like this?
Speaking of that student, what was his name again? She remembered that he seemed to be quite famous in the academy.
Lu Mingfei remained unmoved by Guderian's nauseatingly obsequious words, only slightly frowning.
Guderian thought he was not satisfied with his appearance, so he scratched his gray, bird's nest-like hair and put away his previous frivolous expression.
"Mingfei, I've come here not only to visit you on behalf of your parents, but also to fulfill another important mission."
He cleared his throat and said very solemnly.
"Mingfei, would you like to join us? The doors of Kassel College are open for you."
Lu Mingfei looked at him with a very strange expression.
If he hadn't been certain that the letter was indeed sent by his parents, he probably would have thought the sender was some kind of fraudster from the industrial park.
At first glance, this Kassel College sounded like a vocational college, but now it seems it's not even a college anymore; it sounds more like a school or industrial park.
I haven't heard of any industrial park opening in Illinois.
Lu Mingfei believed that although his academic performance had improved rapidly during this period, it was not good enough for any university to admit him on the first meeting.
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.
Moreover, he planned to visit famous mountains and rivers after the college entrance examination to see if there were any caves left by enlightened ancestors who had ascended to immortality. Why would he go to Illinois, a place lacking in spiritual energy?
Seeing that Lu Mingfei still had that same expression, Guderian was indeed a little flustered. In his plan, Lu Mingfei should definitely not have this expression.
"Don't worry about tuition, Mingfei. The college will give you a full scholarship, and I will personally provide you with $40,000 a year."
He made a big splash right away, just like a simp who starts showering his goddess with gold coins when she ignores him.
However, these words sounded even more suspicious to Lu Mingfei.
This familiar scam tactic left him unmoved, having witnessed countless anti-fraud cases in his previous life. He even began to consider whether he should go out and call the police first.
Seeing that his attempts to bribe him had failed to achieve the desired result, Guderian finally ran out of options and resorted to his last trump card.
"This is what your parents would have wanted to see," he said with deep emotion.
A subtle change in emotion finally appeared on Lu Mingfei's expressionless face.
What did my parents say?
"They asked me to bring you something." Seeing that things were going well, Guderian rummaged through a handbag and pulled out a few items.
A photograph and a letter.
The photo is quite ordinary; it's just a man and a woman holding hands and cuddling together, looking at the distant primeval jungle.
The content of the letter was also very simple.
It was a letter from Lu's mother to Angers, the principal of Kassel College. The gist of it was that her son had been unruly since childhood, and because she and her husband worked away from home, they had no time to teach him.
So he thought of relying on the friendship between former classmates to send him to study at Kassel College.
Seeing this, Lu Mingfei was finally somewhat moved.
However, the trigger was very complex.
His unreliable parents, as always, didn't even show their faces, but still arranged his future path.
However, he had never heard of Principal Angers, Kassel College, or Professor Guderian in his previous life. Could this be a difference between two worlds?
After pondering for a moment, Lu Mingfei gave his answer under Guderian's expectant gaze.
"I refuse."
what! ?
Nono, who was watching the show from the sidelines, became quite interested. She originally thought that the other party was just a high school student with a delusional mindset, and that his behavior just now was just a pretentious attempt to show off. But she did not expect that he could remain unmoved in the face of the temptation of tens of thousands of US dollars and studying abroad.
interesting.
She felt she needed to rebuild her understanding of Lu Mingfei.
Professor Guderian was somewhat exasperated upon hearing this.
He was practically begging Lu Mingfei to join the academy, but he couldn't, because at this moment he wasn't representing himself, but Kassel College.
He said in an almost pleading tone, "Mingfei, is there anything else you're unhappy about? Can you tell me? Tell me and I'll help you solve it."
Although he had ruled out the possibility that the other party was a scammer from the park, Lu Mingfei was still not very enthusiastic about entering Kassel College.
What kind of heritage does that land possess? He intends to travel to famous mountains and rivers, seeking ascension to immortality.
"Could we move the academy to the country?" he asked after thinking for a moment.
Guderian wanted to cover his face.
"That's probably not possible."
"Never mind then." Lu Mingfei shook his head.
"Now that we've met, and you've conveyed what my parents wanted to say, let's leave it at that."
He got up to leave, but Guderian blocked his way.
"Mingfei, why don't you give it a try? After all, your parents and the principal have officially discussed the matter of enrollment."
If that's the case, I'll be in a difficult position to explain myself.
Seeing the old foreign man in front of him, who was begging for help, Lu Mingfei ruthlessly dodged past him.
The conference room door was opened.
Pairs of eyes turned to look.
"Mingfei, join our Kassel College!" Guderian caught up with him, like a lapdog being pampered by a goddess. "I promise you not only a full scholarship, but also a personal allowance of $40,000 per year."
"No." Lu Mingfei shook his head, leaving everyone with only his back view.
What's going on?!
You're going to refuse these conditions?!
The students waiting in the hotel corridor looked at each other, some even wondering if they had misheard.
Kassel College's reputation as a private, elite institution was already enough to excite them, but they never expected that this foreign professor would offer Lu Mingfei such tempting terms.
And Lu Mingfei actually refused!
This is really...!
Everyone watched with mixed emotions as Lu Mingfei's figure disappeared into the elevator door.
The meeting room door closed, and although the Regent Hotel had good soundproofing, everyone could still faintly hear the argument inside.
A few minutes later, the pretty red-haired girl opened the door and called out her name as before, as if nothing had happened.
"Zhao Menghua".
Zhao Menghua stood up, a fleeting hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes.
If it were him, he would have agreed to such a condition long ago.
However... he didn't sign up for the Kassel College interview for scholarships and money; he wanted to prove that he was just as good!
Zhao Menghua confidently walked into the conference room and sat down.
His family education was American, and in terms of language advantage, he was superior to Lu Mingfei.
"Hello," said the interviewer, Shudeya Kiji, with a smile.
"You can speak Chinese?!" Zhao Menghua exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, our Kassel College has long implemented a full Chinese-language education system," explained Shudeya.
"Okay." Zhao Menghua nodded.
Although he doesn't speak English, he still possesses excellent qualities cultivated over the past decade.
The advantage lies with him! He won't lose!
Bring on any problem you may have!
He was ready.
Shudeya asked the first question.
Do you believe in aliens?
"ah!?"
