Chapter 8 Zhongli's Fake Death
Linto's words interrupted Guderian's spellcasting.
He was a little nervous at this moment. He originally wanted to use Lu Mingfei's parents, Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini, as a shield: the two of them were honorary alumni of the school, so it was only natural to bring Lu Mingfei into the group.
This sudden change of topic was truly difficult for Guderian, but he still had to answer the student's question.
To be precise...
Compared to Lu Mingfei's well-prepared plan, Linto, who appeared out of nowhere, is a bit more troublesome.
"Of course, they will be treated equally."
Guderian patted his chest: "Our Kassel College is known for its generosity. We will devote all our efforts to recruiting the two outstanding students who are among the hundreds of thousands of students in the entire coastal city."
He felt a pang of heartache; this wasn't what they had agreed upon!
"Really? I don't believe it."
"You…" Guderian's eyes flickered, and he turned his head, only to find that it was not his uncle who had taken over the conversation.
It was Linto who submitted the contract.
Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya stared wide-eyed.
"The professor really went all out."
"That's true."
The two exchanged glances silently.
Although Professor Guderian had a good reputation among the insects at Kassel College and was indeed generous, this was not the way to be generous.
After all, this wasn't an application submitted to the Kassel College administration, but rather an idea he gave to Lu Mingfei in his personal capacity.
In America, even prisons are privately owned. It's such a beautiful country! Do you have such privatization?
Guderian felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the contract handed to him; this kid actually had a good grasp of the law.
—Guderian voluntarily gifted Linto $36,000 for each year Linto attended university.
All that's left are the two fingerprinting areas.
It's likely that it wasn't just this group of people from Kassel College across the ocean who had travel logs and itineraries; Linto had also planned out this scene here.
Holy crap, I'm going to eat up all the riches.
Most importantly, the time limit here involves a little wordplay. "Every year Linto studied at the school" obviously does not specify whether Linto could repeat a year or whether he would continue to "study" after going to a professional department with guaranteed job placement.
If it runs well, this is the standard deduction of $36,000 from your own account each year.
Now, in order to recruit Lu Mingfei, he has no choice but to sign this document.
"Wow, Brother Lin is really something!"
Lu Mingfei finally understood that the reason he was able to receive such a high scholarship was because he was compared to Linto.
Linto: "..."
"The formula is too much." He couldn't help but say.
"Handsome, Linto, handsome!"
"..."
The uncle and aunt also relaxed their brows.
From the moment they entered, they sensed that Lin Tuotian possessed extraordinary qualities, similar to some of the eccentric individuals in the problem-solving section of Shilan High School. Those who participate in math competitions often exhibit some remarkable traits.
In their eyes, Linto perfectly embodies the characteristics of this type of person.
"Mingfei…sigh." Guderian's scalp tingled as he looked at Linto: "This…young man, you'd better watch yourself!"
The atmosphere warmed up, but that wasn't what Guderian wanted.
As he had envisioned.
At this point, Lu Mingfei's uncle and aunt would have found fault with him, saying that his words sounded like lies. But he himself went along with it and revealed the letters from Lu Mingfei's parents.
On the one hand, it allows the orphan Lu Mingfei to feel the long-lost family affection. After living under someone else's roof for so many years, his parents still love him. Isn't that touching?
On the one hand, it gives Lu Mingfei a sense of belonging to Kassel College. "Your father and mother are both from Kassel College, that's what you call benevolence and righteousness." "Like father, like son, you'll definitely get good treatment at the school."
He, Ye Sheng, Jiu Deya Ji, and Lu Mingfei, are his uncle and aunt.
We, the three of us, are facing off against you, the three of you.
But Guderian felt that Lu Mingfei's thoughts had probably gone completely astray.
That night, Guderian pondered for a long time...
He thought of the countless hybrids who had sacrificed themselves in the dragon-slaying war, of the century-old history of Kassel College, and then he forgot the rest—in short, he was utterly shattered.
"I was the one who led you to slay the dragon before, and now you want me to lead you to slay the dragon again?" the old man suddenly said, deciding to get back to the main topic.
"ha?"
Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya looked bewildered, unable to comprehend Guderian's thought process.
However.
"Ta-da!"
Just then, an uninvited guest arrived at the scene.
She wore a baseball cap, her gaze sharp as knives, her tall figure dividing the light into two shadowy halves.
"Nono?"
Guderian was startled, then breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally found a lifeline.
If the arrival of one person disrupts the situation, the best course of action is to introduce another person in an attempt to restore order to the chaos.
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
Linto nodded and accepted the contract Guderian had signed. He then looked up at the girl whose real name was Chen Motong:
With large, bright eyes and a mischievous smile at the corners, and her long, dark red hair cascading down in an unconventional manner, Gattuso's selection suggests she is indeed a beautiful girl.
He didn't know much about Chen Motong.
All we know is that the other person's ability seems to be profiling, which allows them to scan into a person's inner world.
Linto's gaze was calm... If it were her, what would she see?
Just as Guderian believed, the breakfast dinner at the Regent Hotel's top restaurant was thrown into chaos by the introduction of Linto, but the introduction of Nono brought balance to the chaos.
"Baba Game".
Lu Gucheng was stunned. The game between the people present had already surpassed Zhongli's feigned death.
"This is what a veteran actor is like."
The aunt nodded with an "Mmm," clearly satisfied with the exchange of glances between the group.
It was clear that this was still part of the interview process, so she and Lu Mingze sat up straight, deciding to recommend Lu Mingze to the interviewers after this interview was over.
The chubby Lu Mingze had a face that looked like Sasuke's. What are these people talking about?
He only cared whether the hotel had the dishes he wanted to eat. If so, that would be great, since he had just eaten a bowl of something that was not bad, but it didn't feel as good as the usual breakfast portion.
As the "Prince of Lu" at Shilan Middle School, who enjoys the money sent by his cousin Lu Mingfei's parents, Lu Mingze has long been spoiled and pampered.
At this moment, I don't want to do anything, only have a voracious appetite.
"cough."
Guderian cleared his throat for the second time.
He finally seized the opportunity.
Chen Motong's arrival caused everyone present to stop speaking.
This time was the opportunity he used to correct Lu Mingfei's performance in the interview.
"Mingfei's uncle and aunt, please allow me to say a few words first."
Guderian held up one finger: "Besides Lu Mingfei's own outstanding potential, there is another very important additional reason."
Guderian said slowly, "I didn't want to say this, but Mingfei, your parents are outstanding alumni of our school."
