Volume 1 Hello, Lu Mingfei Chapter 23: The Gate of Kassel (Part 3)
In fact, going abroad was not Lu Mingfei's idea at first. The "Destination Cassel" note taped to the head of the bed was just an excuse to motivate herself to study hard. Unexpectedly, as her aunt watched her little girl change more and more, becoming more cheerful and her grades improved, she suddenly had an idea and insisted on it, forcing Lu Mingfei to fill out the application form.
She hung out with an English fanatic in the same class for a while and had a very good TOEFL score, but her scores in other subjects were just above average . It would be difficult for her to get into a first-class undergraduate program at this level, but if she went abroad and gave up the exam, she wouldn't have to worry about that at all, and her aunt could also give an explanation for the money that Lu Mingfei's parents sent her.
Lu Mingfei doesn't have to worry about tuition fees, but living expenses are hard to say. As for her aunt, if you say she is a bad person, she is just a little stingy and greedy. She is not a big bad person, but she does small evils all the time. She definitely cannot handle things related to money well.
Lu Mingfei originally planned to stop when she made enough money to buy Chu Zihang's hairband by relying on her personality to make money in the ring match. Unexpectedly, Chu Zihang went abroad in a few days. The more money she made in the ring match, the better her life would be. When she reaches the other side of the ocean, she will have more gold coins in her pocket and her life will be easier. When people are poor, they have less ambition. When people are rich, their temperament and eyes are different. We can't let the Americans look down on us.
However, going abroad is obviously not an easy matter, otherwise how can the golden halo of the sea turtle be so dazzling? Lu Mingfei spent hundreds of dollars to apply again and again, and more than a dozen replies were all "But unfortunately..." Aunt was very sad because the regrets of the Americans were all spent on her money.
Lu Mingfei was not in a hurry at all. If she couldn't go abroad, she still had the college entrance examination. If she couldn't pass the first category, she could always get the second or third category. In her opinion, it didn't matter whether she went abroad to gild herself or stayed in her hometown like a turtle.
"Is there a letter for me?" Lu Mingfei strolled to the gate of the community and stood outside the window of the message room, peering in. "It's from Mingfei Lu."
"Yes, two letters from America." The guard threw out two letters.
Lu Mingfei was stunned . She had sent out so many applications recently, and only the last one, the University of Chicago, had not responded to her. What were these two letters from across the ocean?
She tore open the first letter:
“Dear Applicant:
Thank you for your interest in our college, but unfortunately..."
But unfortunately she tore up the letter. Damn University of Chicago for not being able to recognize a good horse.
Tearing open the second envelope, there were two thin pieces of letter paper inside, one large and one small, with a slight scent of lavender. They were actually written in Chinese, and Lu Mingfei always felt as if she had seen this handwriting somewhere before.
Dear Lu Mingfei:
I think you will be surprised to receive this letter. I am Chu Zihang.
Counting the time, it has been a year since I left China, and you have also arrived at the most important year of your life.
I heard from Norma that you were applying to the University of Chicago, and I'm sorry you weren't accepted.
If you still hope to study abroad, maybe I can help you.
Your alumni.
Chu Zihang.
Chu Zihang's handwriting was neat and square, and it looked like it was written with a mold. Lu Mingfei would never make a mistake.
Another large piece of letter that came with the package was folded up, with a gold-plated silver World Tree on the seal.
Dear Miss Lu Mingfei:
We are very pleased to receive your application materials from the University of Chicago. Chu Zihang and I have conducted a detailed evaluation of you and agree that you meet the admission requirements of the University of Kassel. We 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 or your senior. I will assist them in providing services to you. I am Norma Lawes, the college secretary of Kassel College. It is a pleasure to meet you.
Yours sincerely.
Norma.
Lu Mingfei put down the letter, touched his forehead, and felt a little confused.
The senior brother actually found Kassel College and persuaded the college to send an invitation letter to her, a lost friend who had never made a living. Although it was just the language of the letter, the words "Dear Lu Mingfei" always made people imagine a lot... She thought that they had no contact after Chu Zihang went abroad, but Chu Zihang, who was far away on the other side of the ocean, still remembered that there was a Lu Mingfei who shared the same hardships with him!
I am so moved that I am about to cry! The sister-in-law of Shilan Middle School is always so great! Chu Zihang, you are my eternal male god! I am about to fall in love with you!
"Sign for it." The guard threw another form over.
"Do I need to sign for the letter?" Lu Mingfei was puzzled.
"It's the envelope in your hand." The guard nodded, "There's also a package with it, and the recipient is also you."
Lu Mingfei signed without thinking and received a large FedEx envelope. As a good student who wanted to study abroad, Lu Mingfei had done her homework. The full name of this company is FedEx International, and its status in the United States is like SF Express in the United States. There was something hard inside the envelope, and Lu Mingfei tore it open without thinking. The black gadget almost kissed the ground directly. The interstellar princess Lu Mingfei was quick to grab it, and her heart almost jumped out.
It was a mobile phone, produced by Nokia, model N96, the latest model this year, with a discounted price of more than 5,000 yuan. The back cover had a black polished surface and a piano lacquer texture. Just looking at it made one feel very classy and had a bossy vibe.
This might be the most expensive personal item Lu Mingfei has ever come into contact with in her 18 years of life... More importantly, it looked like it was given to her.
She turned on her cell phone and found that the battery still had more than half of its power. There were only two contacts in the business card holder, Professor Guderian on the top and Chu Zihang on the bottom.
When Chu Zihang was still in Shilan Middle School, there were countless girls who wanted his contact information, and it came to her in such a wonderful way without any effort.
Lu Mingfei dialed Chu Zihang's number tremblingly. Logically, she should have contacted Professor Guderian first, who was an important figure who could decide whether she could enter Kassel College.
But for some reason, Lu Mingfei felt that she should talk to her senior first. She had almost become numb from receiving so many rejection letters in recent days. When she saw the rejection letter from the University of Chicago today, she actually felt a little upset. No matter how thick-skinned a guy is, he would have a depressed face after being rejected a dozen times in a row.
But with Chu Zihang's long-awaited greetings, everything seemed to be getting better. The mysterious and unknown Kassel College, along with Chu Zihang 's letter, opened its doors to Lu Mingfei one year later.
Beep-beep-beep, click.
"Lu Mingfei?" On the other end of the line was a familiar voice from across the ocean.
