Chapter 95: Frost and Snow Pressed Me for Two or Three Years
Lu Mingfei was about to take the college entrance examination in a month. His aunt was concerned about her son Lu Mingze, so she encouraged Lu Mingfei, whose grades seemed not good enough and who would definitely not be admitted to prestigious universities such as Tsinghua and Peking University, to give up the exam and study abroad.
Studying abroad is still a very prestigious thing these days. Her son Lu Mingze's grades are worse than Lu Mingfei's. Fortunately, Lu Mingfei is actually quite good at foreign languages, so she encouraged Lu Mingfei to go abroad. This way, Lu Mingze will be more comfortable and familiar with the study abroad next year.
Moreover, if Lu Mingfei is lucky enough to study abroad, she will be worthy of the money that Lu Lincheng and his wife have sent back over the years.
In fact, Lu Mingfei has no interest in studying abroad. Based on his current grades, he has even chosen the school and major he will apply for after the college entrance examination. He has already planned his future path.
If the courses during college are easy, then find ways to earn more money and save up a small coffer. After graduation, work steadily for a few years. After you make enough money, go to the bank to get a loan and start a business and do something big!
He thought about it and decided that borrowing money from friends to start a business was not a very safe idea. If the business failed, he wouldn’t be able to pay back his friend’s money. Wouldn’t that be cheating his friend?
If he goes to the bank to apply for a loan, he won't have this psychological burden. If he asks his friends to borrow money, his friends may do so for the sake of friendship, but if he goes to the bank to borrow money, the bank is gambling that it can get the money back from him.
If he wins the bet, he will get the young model.
But if his entrepreneurial journey is as unfortunate as his life, and he fails miserably... the frost and snow will press on me for two or three years, and I will fall into eternal sleep when I close my eyes.
Therefore, his aunt's suggestion of studying abroad was not that attractive to him, but he could not resist his aunt's constant whispering about the advantages of studying abroad and how it would bring him face, so he reluctantly applied to the top 20 universities in the United States.
He knew clearly that apart from his TOEFL score, the rest of his knowledge was a bunch of shit, he had nothing. Those prestigious schools would have been blind to admit him.
Although the game he is best at is more open abroad, he can't just write his specialty on the application form: good at playing StarCraft 2, right?
In the past two months, he has received more than a dozen letters of thanks, which means that the hundreds of dollars spent by his aunt have been wasted.
Now there is only one letter from the University of Chicago that has not yet responded. If it is another thank-you letter, then my aunt's long-awaited study abroad trip will be over.
"Is there a letter for me?" Lu Mingfei asked the guard in the guard room, "MingfeiLu."
"Yes, it's from America." The guard threw a letter out of the window to him.
The envelope was very thin, Lu Mingfei could tell just by touching it.
This was undoubtedly another thank-you letter, because if he was accepted, there would be a lot of introduction materials and forms to fill out in the envelope. He felt that he knew what was inside before he opened the envelope:
“Dear Applicant:
Thank you for your interest in our college, but I regret..."
Not bothering to open the envelope, he turned around and headed home.
"Wait a minute, there's something else you need to sign for." The guard stopped him and took out a list: "There's also a package mailed along with this letter, and you need to sign for it in person."
"Ah?" Lu Mingfei was a little confused, but he still signed his name and received a large envelope. The content inside was hard and did not look like the school introduction materials or information forms judging by its size.
However, he did not rush to open the big envelope, but opened the letter first. The beginning was indeed as he expected, a thank-you letter, but after the thank-you, there was another paragraph that was different from other thank-you letters:
“But, as we often say, there is more than one path, it just depends on whether you are willing to choose.
First of all, introduce yourself. Cassel College is a private university located in the outer suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, USA. It is a joint school with the University of Chicago and has extensive academic exchanges.
We are very honored to receive your application materials from the University of Chicago. After careful evaluation, we believe that you meet the admission requirements of Cassell College and would like to extend an invitation to you.
Please contact Professor Guderian of our school as soon as you receive this letter. He is on an academic visit to China and will arrange an interview with you.
If you have any questions, please contact Professor Guderian. I will assist him in providing services to you. My name is Norma Lawns, the College Secretary at Cassel College. It is a pleasure to meet you.
Yours sincerely
Norma. "
There wasn’t much content, and Lu Mingfei finished reading it at a quick glance. Then he touched his head, feeling a little confused. Was the school really blind?
Kassel College? Is it the college that accepted Boss and Senior Chu? Is this true? But why is there no contact information?
Lu Mingfei felt that this was a prank played on him by others, because he had played pranks on others before. He created a QQ account and pretended to be a girl to fish for his cousin Lu Mingze, and he caught a lot of black carp.
He opened the package that came with the thank-you letter, and inside was a brand new N96 Nokia phone.
The cell phone still had power. After turning it on, there was only one contact in the business card folder - Professor Guderian.
Lu Mingfei rubbed his face, feeling a little overwhelmed for a moment. He took his cell phone and letter back to his uncle's house, and then his uncle and aunt argued non-stop.
Aunt also thought it was a prank by an acquaintance, while uncle thought that no acquaintance would take out thousands of dollars to joke with them. Lu Mingze also thought it was fake. How could he not be familiar with the university attended by Zhang Xuechang and Chu Xuechang, two idol seniors?
He knew about this school and found out that it was difficult for even native Americans to get in!
Lu Mingfei quietly left the controversial living room, opened his computer and used QQ to ask his boss.
Lu Mingfei: "Boss, I applied to study abroad at the University of Chicago, but Kassel College intercepted me and told me to contact Professor Guderian for an interview."
The boss didn't reply to him immediately. It seemed that it was still night in the United States now?
However, Zhang Baiqing, who got up early, soon saw his message.
Zhang Baiqing: "Professor Guderian? There is indeed such a professor, and he is my advisor. If he is in charge of this matter, he should not be on campus now. I will go to look for him later. If he is not there, I can ask other professors whether he is out on business to confirm it."
When Lu Mingfei saw his reply, he felt a little... excited?
There is indeed such a professor at Kassel College. Although the authenticity of this story cannot be confirmed yet, it is very likely to be true.
After morning exercise, Zhang Baiqing went to see Professor Guderian and found out that the old man had actually gone on a business trip to China.
So he replied to Lu Mingfei's message on QQ, gave him a little encouragement, and encouraged him to work hard to pass the interview.
"Zihang, do you still remember Lu Mingfei?" Zhang Baiqing asked Chu Zihang.
"I remember." Chu Zihang nodded and said, "He has a good relationship with you and is very good at playing games. You said that he plays games like it's irrelevant."
"He received an interview notice from Kassel College. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be our junior in the future."
"Hmm?" Chu Zihang frowned and thought for a moment, then expanded, "Now that you mention it, I remember. I used to think he was quite lonely, unless he met you. But at that time I hadn't come into contact with the Dragon Blood World, so I didn't understand that it was called Blood Sorrow."
"This poor kid is really lonely." Zhang Baiqing stretched his body and said, "What do you think of his bloodline rating?"
"D or C? Or maybe B." Chu Zihang guessed, "He doesn't have a high appearance, nor does he have a high IQ or EQ. The dominant characteristics of his bloodline are not obvious in him."
Excellent hybrids are generally not bad looking, and their brains are better than normal people. Of course, there are such talents among normal people, but compared to hybrids, the proportion is much lower.
Zhang Baiqing said calmly: "I think it's S-level."
"Hmm?" Chu Zihang looked at him with some doubt in his eyes and asked, "Do you know something?"
S-level is not that easy to assess. Logically speaking, only those hybrids with Ultimate Word Spirits and Ultimate Word Spirits, or the three siblings in Japan, can be considered S-level.
No matter which type it is, any one of them can beat a normal hybrid. In a sense, S-level is the limit that a hybrid can reach!
Zhang Baiqing replied: "Don't feel sorry for him, this guy is a big shot who is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger!"
Lu Mingze wants his brother Lu Mingfei to ascend the throne. Although he is not clear about the specific circumstances, according to Lu Mingze's style, this ascension to the throne will at least mean he will be an emperor at the world hegemon level.
That is the level of the former Black King!
"Yeah." Chu Zihang nodded.
His younger brother is always mysterious, but since he is so strong, it is understandable that he knows more.
And when will I be able to obtain such powerful strength?
Zhang Baiqing said casually, "I've been back at school these few days, and I've noticed that the whole campus is talking about the competition between you and Caesar. Excellent people are really different. Whether you're at Shilan Middle School or Kassel College, you've always been a celebrity. The president of the Lionheart Club will graduate this year, and you'll be the next president, no surprise."
"He's still far behind you." Chu Zihang said calmly, "Caesar is indeed an excellent person. He is confident but not conceited, calm and rational, proud but not arrogant. He is indeed a very difficult opponent. But he is not qualified yet."
A hint of coldness flashed across Chu Zihang's calm eyes. Caesar was excellent, but was it amazing that he defeated him?
Caesar is nothing. Odin is the mountain he is trying hard to climb. Only after crossing this mountain, he may think that he has the ability.
When Lu Mingfei returned home from school at noon, he was really stunned when he saw the encouragement from his boss.
It seems that this is not a prank! This famous American university really likes me!
This made him feel flattered, and he quickly asked the boss what questions would be asked in the interview and what the etiquette was.
Zhang Baiqing couldn't give an answer either, because he hadn't even been interviewed! His admission was approved by the principal, and he submitted several blank papers in the 3E exam, but still got the highest score.
Besides, why did Lu Mingfei need an interview? Wasn't he sure to get in?
So Lu Mingfei could relax and not worry about anything.
