Lu Mingfei doesn’t want to be a superhero
Chapter 36 Lu Mingfei: I read a lot, you can’t fool me
Commercial street, street.
Lu Mingfei was sitting on the flower bed. The old man, who looked like an aristocratic gentleman, put the red envelope on a pile of banknotes beside him, retreated into the crowd, and continued to listen to Lu Mingfei's performance.
After a long time, when it got dark and most of the people around him left, Lu Mingfei stopped playing, thanked the remaining people, and put away the violin.
Lu Mingfei sorted out what he had gained today, and the others also dispersed. Only the old man who gave him a big red envelope was still standing, looking at Lu Mingfei with a smile, and his expression even seemed to be a bit kind to an elder.
Although he didn't know why a foreigner would hand him a red envelope, misunderstandings between different cultures were not uncommon, so Lu Mingfei accepted it with peace of mind.
Just because of the education he received since childhood, he was too embarrassed to open the red envelope directly to see how much money was in front of others.
"Are you Lu Mingfei?" The old man stepped forward and asked.
"Ah?" Lu Mingfei was stunned, "Do you know me?"
"Can we chat?" The old man pointed to the coffee shop not far away.
Lu Mingfei squeezed the red envelope in his hand. It was thick and heavy.
"No problem." Lu Mingfei said decisively.
…
In the cafe.
Although it is still open late at night, this is a small town after all. Even in the more prosperous commercial areas, there are only a few customers in the cafe.
In the corner of the coffee shop, Lu Mingfei sat across from the old man.
The old man looked at Lu Mingfei and said with emotion: "It looks really similar."
"Ah? What did you say?" Lu Mingfei didn't understand.
"Introduce yourself," the old man said, "My name is Hilbert Jean Angers, and I am the principal of Kassel College."
Kassel Academy?
Lu Mingfei was a little surprised. Isn't this Senior Brother Chu's school?
After being surprised, he felt a burst of admiration - as expected of Senior Brother Chu, he could be a student enough for the principal to come to him on his own initiative.
This was his first reaction. After all, Senior Brother Chu was often praised and personally received by the principal at Shilan Middle School. Now that he is in college, it is not incomprehensible for the American principal to receive Senior Brother Chu from across the country, right?
But immediately, Lu Mingfei was stunned by Ange's next words.
"At the same time, I am also your great-great-grandfather's friend, or good brother, and your parents are honorary alumni of our school." Angers said.
After experiencing a blank mind for a few seconds, Lu Mingfei reluctantly came back to his senses and began to stay calm and think as much as possible.
He regretted not wearing contact lenses today. If he had to concentrate completely on thinking about something, his eyes would turn golden subconsciously.
This old man, from what Angers said, had a bit too much information.
First of all, he said that he was a friend of his great-great-grandfather. His great-great-grandfather, his grandfather, was four generations older than Lu Mingfei. If the old man in front of him was a friend of his great-great-grandfather, even if he was younger than his great-great-grandfather, he should be about the same age. Over a hundred years old.
How does he look like a hundred-year-old man?
If his hair and beard weren't all silver, and wrinkles could indeed be seen on his face, some people would believe him if he was fifty or even forty years old, right?
But...this is not impossible.
Lu Mingfei remembered clearly that after Tony studied his blood, he told him some confirmed research findings, one of which was certain that his life span would be longer than that of ordinary humans.
He had discussed with Tony before that it was more likely that his strength came from his parents, which meant that his parents were not ordinary people. The old man in front of him also said that he and his great-great-grandfather were friends, and his parents were from them. Alumni of the school...
Lu Mingfei had a hunch that a certain area in this world that ordinary people were not aware of was opening the door to him.
"Hello principal, goodbye principal."
Lu Mingfei stood up, bowed, turned around and ran away.
Swift as a rabbit chased by a dog.
Ange sat in a seat in the coffee shop and stared at Lu Mingfei's fleeing back, dumbfounded.
A door leading to a magnificent world opened to Lu Mingfei, and Lu Mingfei closed the door with lightning speed.
…
Express Hotel, in Lu Mingfei's room.
Lu Mingfei made several turns and took several side roads on his way back, before finally returning here.
He didn't want to bury his head like an ostrich and pretend that nothing happened. This was unrealistic.
After experiencing some things in Tony's world, Lu Mingfei gradually understood a truth - escaping may not be shameful, but it may not be useful either.
The opponent came to the door single-handedly, and running away would not make the matter disappear as if it had never happened.
He was just practicing Tony's teachings - when a negotiation or conversation occurs that catches you off guard, but the other party is well prepared, breaking the other party's rhythm is the key, and you must not be led by the nose.
So Lu Mingfei decisively chose to run away.
Firstly, it can completely break the opponent's rhythm, and secondly, he also needs more time to calm down and think.
Tony taught him not to think when he is not calm, otherwise the more he thinks, the more he will make mistakes.
Of course, there are many ways to break the rhythm, depending on the personality of the person involved.
For example, running away is more suitable for someone like Lu Mingfei who has no idol baggage, but Tony would never use this method.
When it comes to having no other choice, Tony would rather pick up a cup of hot tea and throw it on the opponent's face than avoid his sharp edge.
After taking a few deep breaths, Lu Mingfei calmed down.
Faced with this unexpected situation, he wanted to go to Tony to discuss countermeasures, but not to mention whether his sudden disappearance for a day would be noticed by interested people. Even if he had a way to avoid being noticed, he would not have the energy to travel now.
So now he could only think of his own response strategy. His golden eyes lit up, and Lu Mingfei began to analyze every clue as much as possible.
First of all, there is a high probability that the other party is not an ordinary person, but a group with special powers. It seems that there is no deliberate intention to hide it this time. Otherwise, he would not be said to be a friend of his great-great-grandfather. He cannot be an ordinary person at this age. .
And based on this foundation, this Kassel College is definitely not simple.
Not only are his parents honorary alumni of this college, but Senior Brother Chu is also a student of this college...
No wonder Senior Brother Chu came into contact with him after he disappeared. Perhaps because of the relationship between his mysterious parents, this college has always paid much attention to him. Now that he behaves strangely, they have come to contact him.
So when did Senior Brother Chu become theirs? Did it start a long time ago, or did it start when I was in college last year?
The most important thing is, have they noticed or discovered that they occasionally disappear for a day?
Lu Mingfei rubbed his eyebrows.
Although from the current point of view, the other party does not seem to have any malicious intentions, you still have to be careful. After all, Tony said, "People who have malicious intentions towards you will often disguise themselves as good intentions."
This is a rule of thumb, and Obadiah is the best example.
but……
Lu Mingfei remembered again that when Senior Brother Chu came to him for the first time, they had talked about the University of Kassel where Senior Brother Chu went. At that time, Senior Brother Chu said, "You can consider Kassel College and just apply." Can pass", and later specifically mentioned that "those with excellent qualifications can be exempted from tuition."
Later, during the days when Susie came to play, when they went to the amusement park to ride the Ferris wheel, Chu Zihang invited him to join the Lions Heart Club of Kassel College, and he was even more certain that he would join Kassel College. look.
It can be judged from this that, if he was not deliberately misleading, Senior Brother Chu thought that Kassel College would absorb him and recruit him as a "student".
I hope they are a serious college.
After thinking for a long time, Lu Mingfei rubbed his temples and stopped thinking.
There were too few clues. He had done all the analysis and guessing he could, and that was enough. If he thought about it further, it would be just meaningless speculation.
Although after awakening his abilities, he obviously felt that he had become a lot smarter, and he was carefully taught about "social evils" by Tony, and he had barely escaped from the "clear and stupid high school student" stage, but how scheming he was, how... Sophisticated, that's impossible.
There was no way to discuss it with Tony now, so Lu Mingfei could only be more careful.
Until the energy is restored enough to go back to discuss with Tony, it's better to hide as much as possible.
Making a decision silently, Lu Mingfei lay on the bed and gradually fell into sleep.
…
Early in the morning, in front of Chu Zihang’s house.
The Mercedes-Benz S500 slowly stopped at the door, and the driver opened the door for the passengers in the back seat.
A pair of exquisitely handmade light-colored leather shoes stepped on the ground. Angers was dressed like an old-school European aristocrat, wearing a gentleman's hat and holding a decorative cane. He walked out of the car.
A man with gold-rimmed glasses and meticulously tied back hair walked out of the villa to greet her. He was a businessman, but his temperament was more like that of a gentle scholar.
"Hello, Principal Angers, it's an honor to meet you."
Lu Tianming smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with Angers. Although he was a businessman, he rarely showed enthusiasm to others, but for his son's principal, he didn't mind putting down his dignity, not to mention that Kassel College was in his mind. It is also a top school that is not inferior to Harvard and Yale, but it is relatively niche.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Lu," Ange shook hands with Lu Tianming, "Chu Zihang is one of the two best students in our school, and I am honored to come for a home visit."
The two men walked into the room while talking. Chu Zihang was already standing upright next to the sofa, as upright as a handful of noodles.
Rather than saying that he was a student waiting for the principal to visit his home, he was more like a noble concubine or a powerful official who was waiting for the emperor to give him a three-foot white silk ribbon and then hang himself from the beam.
"Come on, Zihang, sit down." Lu Tianming asked Chu Zihang to sit down.
Angers and Lu Tianming chatted enthusiastically and heartily about Chu Zihang's life in school. Angers was a highly respected educator, and Lu Tianming was a perfect father who treated his stepson as his own. The conversation between the two could be described as enjoyable. .
Angers said that Chu Zihang was one of the best students in recent decades. He became the president of the oldest club in the school in his freshman year. From grades to practice to moral character, everything was top-notch. He was simply heavenly. The perfect young man who has everything underground.
Lu Tianming praised Kassel College for its powerful teachers and excellent teaching style. He had read the email sent back by Chu Zihang. Every building in the school revealed the accumulation of history, and every decoration was full of artistic beauty. The teachers and students are even more handsome and charming. At first glance, it looks like a top university that only accepts elites.
The two of them were complimenting each other, while Chu Zihang sat aside and said nothing, feeling uncomfortable but unable to show it.
After chatting for a long time, Lu Tianming glanced at the time, said apologetically that he still had things to deal with in the company, apologized repeatedly and left.
Watching Lu Tianming leave, Ange could see that although Chu Zihang had not changed much overall, the details seemed to be more natural.
"Okay, your father and driver are gone, and your employees are not nearby. No one will hear us." Angers said.
Chu Zihang nodded and asked, "Principal, are you here to see Lu Mingfei?"
"To be precise, I have already met him," Ange's mouth twitched slightly, "It's just..."
He struggled for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Chu Zihang waited quietly for a long time, and finally heard Ange say in a very strange tone: "It's just that he ran away before I had a chance to say a few words to him."
This time Chu Zihang was also stunned.
"Do I need to contact Lu Mingfei next? He and I are classmates, so it might be easier to communicate with him."
Perhaps because the target this time was Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang took the initiative to ask for help.
"Next time you go with me, there should be more common topics among young people," Angers said with emotion, "Maybe I am really old."
"When will we go?" Chu Zihang needed to ask for a more precise time and prepare in advance. This was his usual style.
"There's no rush," Angers shook his head, "There are still two and a half months until the school enrolls students."
It's only the end of February now, and the college's admissions interviews usually have to wait until May.
…
Su Xiaoqiang's home.
Lu Mingfei pushed the door open and walked in with the piano case on his back. He happened to see Su Xiaoqiang sitting on the sofa, bending over and playing with a small object on the coffee table.
"What is this?" Lu Mingfei leaned over and asked.
"It's for recording." Su Xiaoqiang said with a smile.
This was what she used to record Lu Mingfei's music and threaten him later.
"Come on, great musician," Su Xiaoqiang sat down on the sofa, "I'm waiting for you to listen to your performance."
"Wait a moment." Lu Mingfei took off the piano case and sat on the sofa.
"What? Do you want to admit defeat?" Su Xiaoqiang glanced sideways at Lu Mingfei, "I have always been generous, as long as you apologize..."
"No," Lu Mingfei shook his head, "I mean, how about we make a bet and the loser has to agree to a condition for the winner?"
"Huh?" Su Xiaoqiang looked Lu Mingfei up and down, "Are you thinking about it? And how do you determine the outcome of a bet?"
"You have the final say," Lu Mingfei said, "When I finish playing a song, if you say it's better than you, then you win; if you say it's not as good, then you lose; if you think it's almost the same, then it's a tie. I believe in the little goddess You won’t cheat, right?”
"Huh?" Su Xiaoqiang was a little surprised, "Are you thinking about it or are you thinking about it?"
"So do you want to gamble or not?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"I'm betting, are you afraid that I won't succeed?" Su Xiaoqiang stretched out a hand, "Come on, high-five us."
"Snapped!"
After a crisp high-five, Su Xiaoqiang crossed his arms across his chest, sneered and signaled Lu Mingfei to start his performance.
Lu Mingfei set up the violin and put on the bow.
Amidst the melodious music, Su Xiaoqiang's mouth opened wider and wider.
When the song ended, Lu Mingfei reached out his hand empathetically, held her chin, and helped her close her mouth.
