"This is my student, Mandy. I think you've met her before, so I won't introduce her to you.”Professor Manstein sat down next to Mandy, while Lin Nian and Lin Xian sat opposite her. Silver cutlery was placed on the table, and breakfast was prepared under the large and small lids on the ceramic plates.
"I heard that Professor Manstein has a lot of power in the academy. To be honest, I'm a little flattered that you personally came to our small city to recruit students.”Lin Nian said.
"I'm the chairman of the discipline committee at Kassel College. I'm in charge of student discipline and occasionally interfere with financial expenditure. Many students in our school break the rules and destroy campus property.”Manstein nodded." As for the question of coming in person, the principal of our institute pursues an absolute education system. All troubles have to give way to education. Therefore, as the chairman of the Discipline Committee, I naturally have the responsibility to receive our outstanding students.”
"I don't dare to be outstanding." Lin Nian said humbly.
"Humility is also an outstanding trait." Manstein praised.
Lin Nian felt as if the Manstein classroom was actually his form teacher in Shilan. This was the attitude of the form teacher every time he pulled up the average score of the class.
"Professor, if you don't mind, let's talk about admission.”Lin Xian, who was at the side, was the first to open the topic.
"Of course, this is the main topic of our visit today.”Professor Manstein opened the lid on the table. There was coffee, wholemeal bread, and hot cabbage inside. Beside Mandy, there was a yellow peach cream sandwich under the lid.
Lin Nian was very curious about what his breakfast was. When he opened it, he found that it was fresh salmon rolls with pomelo tea. Lin Xian's was the same as his.
Mandy, who was next to Manstein, explained,""Recently, the school doctor told the professor that his blood pressure has risen again, so his three meals a day should be light.”
Lin Nian and Lin Xian looked at each other and did not reject the breakfast. It seemed that Professor Manstein and Mandy had done their homework well. At least they knew that Chinese people liked to discuss things at the dining table. Fortunately, they did not know more about the " banquet culture ". Otherwise, the pomelo tea on the table would have been replaced with Moutai or Red Star Erguotou.
"If you still don't understand our academy, we brought more information today to help you make a clearer judgment.”Professor Manstein took out a stack of documents from his seat and placed them on the table. Lin Nian and Lin Xian each took half of them and found that the documents were full of official documents and more photos of the academy. They even included the group award certificates of the windsurfing competition, the White Silk Ballet, and the chess competition.
From all aspects, the Kassel Academy described by Professor Manstein was not inferior to Harvard, Cambridge, and other internationally renowned schools. It gave off the illusion that they were nobles the moment they entered the academy. It was as if what was placed in front of Lin Nian and Lin Xian was not an admission notice, but an invitation from the upper class.
This was a naked temptation, but Lin Nian and Lin Xian were not tempted. They looked at the documents silently and listened to Professor Manstein's eloquent explanation of Kassel Academy's long history and humane feelings. He even talked about the principal being a scion of a prestigious family born in Cambridge and later became a great teacher who was as strict as him.
At the same time, he gave an example of the diverse culture of the students in the college. For example, the student council with a noble style of study and the Lionheart Society, which was famous for its strict laws, were self-established groups by students. The students were the leaders of the groups and the college did not interfere in their internal affairs at all. In some major events, these groups could even play a pivotal role.
In the end, Professor Manstein naturally mentioned the scholarship and explained that the scholarship came from the board of directors and was established by the principal of Kassel College. It was not a competitive scholarship with uncertain application. Moreover, he had already mentioned Lin Nian's special situation to the principal. The principal had also promised in Yuanyang's phone call yesterday that as long as Lin Nian agreed to enroll, the scholarship for the first semester would be given immediately.
"Does the principal know about me too?”Lin Nian could hear the admiration and admiration in Professor Manstein's words when he talked about the principal, so he couldn't help but be curious.
"Of course, in a sense, the principal personally took a fancy to you and personally appointed me as your mentor. That's why I came all the way here.”Professor Manstein said.
"How did he notice me? I'm just nobody." Lin Nian said.
"No, in the principal's eyes, you are somebody. Our principal has always been very accurate in judging people.”Manstein gently placed his right hand on his chest to show his respect to the headmaster of Kassel Academy, who was far away on the other side of the ocean.
The series of promises and promises reminded Lin Nian of a book called " Harvard Girl Liu Yiting." In the book," Ting 'er " was troubled by tuition fees and even considered applying to a famous American school to work part-time. However, her parents were worried that they could not do both in school and work, so they tried their best to raise money. It even made Ting 'er give up on a first-class university and choose a second-class university.
However, in Lin Nian's reality, the threshold of a famous university in this foreign country did not seem to be that high. They invited him to study as if they were carrying a sedan chair to invite their ancestors. Even the 36000 USD scholarship was given out in advance. This also gave up on his idea of copying "Kassel College Lin Nian". A literary work without suffering and choice to sublimate one's thoughts was not perfect.
"So what are your thoughts?”Professor Manstein's mouth was dry. After taking a sip of coffee, his expression twitched. He subconsciously wanted to take some sugar, but Mandy grabbed his wrist. He had no choice but to take a glass of water to rinse his mouth.
"I don't think there's any problem." Lin Xian was silent for a long time before he finally raised his head and said,""Since your school is so sincere, I can rest assured that my brother will be in your hands.”
"No, I've already applied to the principal. As Lin Nian's relative, you can also enter our college to work as a clerk. Our psychology professor, Masashi Toyama, happens to be missing a student.”Professor Manstein looked at Lin Xian and said gently,"" Although our school has an elite system, we will definitely not reject talents. We have learned about your resume. When you were 17 years old, you entered a medical university and majored in psychology and biology. You also studied the physiological structure of the human body and even published relevant papers on academic forums. However, when you were 18 years old, you dropped out of school and took on the role of Lin Nian's guardian…Actually, you're also a rare and outstanding talent. Our academy just happens to need a talent like you.”
Lin Nian looked sideways. Before today, he really didn't know that his sister had studied at a medical university and had some achievements. He had always thought that Lin Xian had entered society after graduating from high school and bringing him out of the orphanage.
"How is the treatment?" Lin Nian said bluntly.
" The salary will be paid by the week. As for the details, Dr. Masashi Toyama will explain the relevant work and obligations to you. When the time comes, it's up to you to decide whether you want to join the job or not. The school will reimburse the cost of the return flight. However, the main premise is that you need to sign a confidentiality agreement.”Professor Manstein explained.
"A confidentiality agreement? Can I take a look?" Lin Xian asked after a pause.
"Yes, but I need a preliminary answer from you-questions related to admission.”Professor Manstein nodded and looked at Lin Nian.""Now, on behalf of Kassel Academy, I'm sending you an invitation to enroll. Lin Nian, do you accept?”
At the same time, Mandy took out her iPhone 3. The screen showed that she was on the phone. The contact name on the other end was " Norma " and the phone was on speaker.
Lin Xian looked at Lin Nian. Lin Nian didn't say anything, and Professor Manstein wasn't in a hurry either. He just sat in his seat and looked at him quietly.
"Think carefully." Lin Xian suddenly said.
"Yes, you have to think carefully." Mandy also spoke up." Although I'm from the admissions office, I still have to remind you that after you make a decision, you might have to say goodbye to your previous life forever.”
Manstein turned his head and glared at Mandy, as if to signal her to talk more. Mandy stuck out her tongue and picked up her teacup to hide her expression.
Lin Nian thought for a moment, then turned to look at Lin Xian and said,""Is the coffee shop taking half a day off today to deduct my salary?”
Lin Xian nodded." Half a day will be deducted if you're late. A full day will be deducted if you're absent. If you're invited, half a day will be counted as a full day."”
Lin Nian was silent for a while before he suddenly smiled. He looked at Professor Manstein and said,""I think I accept."
"Voiceprint verification passed. You have obtained my personal authorization. Lin Nian, serial number A.L.052044, connected to Kassel Academy. I'm Norma. I'm very happy to be at your service. Your ticket, passport, and visa will be delivered within three weeks. Kassel Academy welcomes you.”A mechanical and clear female voice called herself Norma sounded on the phone. After hearing this voice, Professor Manstein and Mandy looked relieved.
"Kassel Academy welcomes you. Next, we only need to go through some established procedures.”Professor Manstein stood up and shook hands with Lin Nian and Lin Xian.
"Please take care of me, Professor." Lin Nian nodded.
The old man and the young man shook hands, but Lin Nian felt that this scene was like selling his body. However, if he could find a place that sold for 36000 dollars a year, he was willing to do it.
For a moment, the host and guest were in a good mood.
