"36,000 U.S. dollars a year, converted into RMB at the current exchange rate of 6.83, is 245,880 yuan. In four years, it will be 983,520 yuan, hiss!" Once the numbers are linked to money, the calculation ability of middle-aged women is absolutely comparable to that of senior accountants.
If the exchange rate does not fluctuate much in the next few years, then this will be a huge sum of nearly one million yuan!
In that era when inflation was not high, one million was enough to buy a large elevator room in the city center, buy ten Montblanc watches, and enroll Lu Mingze in cram schools for twenty years.

"Is my nephew so good?" my aunt said sourly.
"It's so outstanding!" Professor Guderian was so excited that he couldn't speak coherently. "Look at him. He has two eyes, one nose, and one mouth that are just right. No more, no less! This is what a smart kid looks like!"
"My Mingze also looks like this, and he is definitely a smart kid. Professor, do you think there is a chance to go to your Kassel College with his cousin?" My aunt asked tentatively, not wanting to be outdone.
"Let's talk about Mingfei." Professor Guderian smiled awkwardly but politely.
"Mingfei is very good, but how is my Mingze worse than him?" The aunt did not give up and tried her best to promote her son.
Professors have even visited her. If she still remains indifferent, wouldn’t she be a mother in vain? Although she knows that the melon won’t be sweet if she is forced to do it, but if she doesn’t do it again, there won’t even be bitter gourd!
"Excellence is actually only one factor." Professor Guderian shook his head, "Kassel College actually rarely recruits students from outside, but Lu Mingfei's parents happen to be our honorary alumni and have donated and assisted the college, so
You don’t have to feel ashamed just for such a small scholarship!”
Lu Mingfei felt a thump in his heart. Deep in his heart, a heavy door covered with dust was pushed open. Fresh air and sunlight penetrated the darkness that had been entrenched for many years through the cracks in the door, making people feel a little at a loss for what to do.
Although he already knew that he would hear news about his parents today, it is a completely different feeling when someone actually talks about this topic to you face to face.
The people you care about are so far away that you have almost forgotten what they look like, but when you hear them from the mouths of people close to you, you seem to be able to vaguely see their outlines.
Lu Mingfei felt itchy in his heart, as if there were ten thousand ants crawling on it.
"Before leaving, the principal gave me your parents' photos and letter." Guderian took out the photo and letter from the inner pocket of his suit and stuffed them into Lu Mingfei's hand.
The background of the photo is the lush green of the vines covering the wall. In front of the vine wall, men and women wearing home clothes are walking hand in hand in a garden that looks like an old castle. Under the sunset, they stare at each other with smiles on their faces, as if the whole
The world was quiet except for each other.
"Boss is quite romantic now that he's grown up." My aunt said with a pout after seeing the photo.
The content of the letter was also very simple. It roughly stated that he hoped that Lu Mingfei would be a very good and kind-hearted child. He hoped that Principal Angers could help him enter Kassel College, and also begged the principal to convey an important message to Lu Mingfei on their behalf.
if.
The letter was signed by Qiao Weini, Lu Mingfei's mother.
There were only a few words, but Lu Mingfei read them word for word silently for a long time, until every word on the letter became as unfamiliar as he almost didn't recognize it.
"Professor, you have something else to convey, right? I want to hear it." Lu Mingfei suddenly raised his head and looked into Guderian's eyes.
Guderian looked up. The boy's face was calm, but he saw that the boy's eyes were actually filled with an emotion called "desire."
"Mingfei, mom and dad love you."
Professor Guderian said this greeting with great emotion, but the pronunciation was a bit awkward.
Lu Mingze was the first to lose his temper. His uncle and aunt also laughed, and Ye Sheng and Jiude Aji couldn't help but shake their heads. Only Nono, who was standing in the corner, saw that everyone was laughing because of this old Westerner.
When the professor's unauthentic Chinese sentence seemed ridiculous, the boy was still looking at Professor Guderian blankly while laughing.
His body trembled slightly and there was light in his eyes.
"I love you too." Lu Mingfei said softly.
Everyone's laughter seemed to be pinched in their throats and stopped abruptly.
An old Western professor spoke broken Chinese and imitated his parents' confession to a boy. It was indeed a scene that made people laugh. The boy's stupid response seemed to be a scene more worthy of laughter, but they did not laugh.
Because everyone realized at that moment that this did not seem to be something that should be laughed at.
The boy's voice was soft but sincere, as if the person standing in front of him was not a strange old professor he met for the first time, but his biological parents who he had not seen for many years.
Even though everyone laughed out loud, Lu Mingfei didn't look embarrassed or embarrassed at all. It seemed that even though everyone in the world was laughing at him, when he heard the words "I love you", he seemed to have a backer.
, can block out all the ridicule.
Originally, Lu Mingfei thought that he was mentally prepared. He had simulated it countless times in his mind, imagining today's scene. He might just nod, or he might just laugh along with everyone, but when he really saw it
Photos and letters, and after hearing the words spoken by Professor Guderian, he suddenly discovered that "Mom and Dad love you" and "I love Mom and Dad too", which have been used for thousands of years, must be spoken in order to understand.
It’s so meaningful!
"Well, let's talk about enrollment!" Seeing that the atmosphere was about to freeze, the uncle jumped out and sacrificed himself to try to make the atmosphere warm again.
"If there weren't still complicated procedures and visas to apply for, I would really want to lead Mingfei on his journey right now!" Professor Guderian said angrily.
"When can I enroll in school soon?" Lu Mingfei asked softly.
"The procedures in the academy are quite cumbersome, and it is estimated that it will be close to October at the earliest."
"Okay, thank you Professor."
Seeing that Lu Mingfei had no objections, Professor Guderian was ecstatic. Now he had the title of lifelong honorary professor!
Then Professor Guderian inexplicably thought of a certain useless dog under his hands, and was extremely upset! Although he was only his temporary assigned mentor, he had not yet successfully been elected as a lifelong honorary professor, and that guy had to pay at least half of the responsibility.
!
No, at least two thirds!
"Lu Mingfei, if you calculate it this way, the school happened to be holding a 'small event' called Freedom Day not long after you entered school. Well... it's almost the same as your school's sports festival. Do you dare to participate?" Nuonuo asked provocatively.
ask.
"I don't care." Lu Mingfei shrugged.
"Aren't you curious about what it's like to be free for a day?" Nono wrinkled her beautiful eyebrows.
"Didn't you mention the Sports Festival? Then I can probably guess it." Lu Mingfei nodded.
He could indeed guess that it was probably a group of lunatics armed with heavy sniper rifles and miniature tactical nuclear bombs who were fighting and killing, right? Similar to a real-life version of Counter-Strike?
However, in the current view of Lu Mingfei, the level is indeed no different from a more lively sports festival.
"Then just guess, don't be scared out of your wits when the time comes!" Nuonuo said viciously.
"If someone really has that ability." Lu Mingfei said expressionlessly.
