Since ancient times, it was the mother who was worried about her son. In Lin Nian's special situation, it was " the elder sister is worried about her son." However, Mandy had never heard of the saying " the elder sister is worried about her son."
"So I refuse." Lin Nian nodded.
"No, how can you refuse…No, I mean, why would you give up on the Gate of Cassel for such a funny reason?”Mandy felt like she was holding her breath. The current situation was beyond all the unexpected scenes she had rehearsed in the cafe. She even considered contacting the academy to change Lin Nian's ship ticket to America if he said that he was airsick.
"Do you think this is funny?" Lin Nian asked softly after a pause.
Mandy was suddenly speechless.
He never expected that the problem was not with Lin Nian, but with Lin Nian's sister. He had seen parents who were reluctant to let their children study abroad, but he had never seen a child who was worried about their parents in China. Under such circumstances, could she still pack Lin Nian's sister and send her to the United States? Professor Manstein would probably kill her if he found out.
"I think we can still negotiate.”Mandy forced herself to calm down and said," How about this, you go to San Antonio with us to attend the preparatory class, and I'll get the college to arrange a job for your sister in the country…"
"No need. I told you, San Antonio and Illinoisis are too far away.”Young Lin said," I'm very grateful for your school's attention. I'm very flattered. I rejected it only because of my own reasons. I also hope that your school will recruit some top students from our high school. Forget about me."”
Mandy's face almost turned green when she heard this polite rejection. Forget it, how could you forget it? You think it's your problem to reject me, but if you reject me, I'll be the one in trouble.
If she allowed a mixed-blood who was estimated to be a Class A or even on the verge of awakening to wander around, who knew when a mysterious power murder would break out in this coastal city? At that time, it would no longer be a young and beautiful student recruitment officer like her, but a group of cold-blooded butchers from the executive department!
However, there were a lot of things that Mandy couldn't tell Lin Nian directly. Those messy things could only be revealed after signing a confidentiality agreement. However, signing the agreement meant agreeing to enter the school. This was another endless loop.
"But I thought about it. Actually, we have something to talk about.”Lin Nian thought for a moment and suddenly said.
Mandy gasped and coughed violently."Don't be so breathless when you speak. If you have something to discuss, then talk about it. If you have any conditions, just say it. As long as it's not out of line, our academy will try our best to satisfy you.”
However, as soon as she said that, she felt strange again. It was as if she was the student who was begging to be admitted and Lin Nian was the one from the admissions office.
"I want to skip the preparatory class and directly enroll in your academy's headquarters.”Lin Nian looked into Mandy's eyes and said seriously.
"This…" Mandy was stunned because this condition was unexpected. But after hesitating for a moment, she said,""Wait, your request has exceeded my authority. I have to ask my superiors first before making a decision to see if they can meet your conditions.”
Lin Nian took a sip of his coffee to indicate that it was fine. He could wait.
Mandy took out an iPhone 3 from her bag, swiped open the screen, and made a call. The first thing she said after the call connected was,""It's me, Mandy, Professor Manstein. I had some problems with him during the interview.”
"Yes, yes. He said that he wanted to make a condition, or he would directly reject the Gate of Cassel…"
"No, I'm not. The problem lay in this condition. He wanted to enter the school early and skip the preparatory class to study in the first grade.”After saying this, Mandy fell silent because the other end of the phone was also silent. Lin Nian, who was sitting across the table, did not say anything and just drank his coffee silently.
A moment later, Mandy looked up at Lin Nian and said,"" Professor Manstein wants to talk to you. He is the chairman of the school's Discipline Committee and the teacher who manages the finances. He is qualified to deal with your request.”
"Alright." Lin Nian put down his coffee cup and sat up straight. Mandy pressed the speaker button.
"Lin Nian?" An old man's voice came from the other end of the phone. Lin Nian's first impression was that he was serious and rigid, but the other party's next words were exceptionally kind,""I heard from Mandy that your request is to enter Cassel early? Can you tell me why?"
"Because logically speaking, there shouldn't be any age requirements for universities. As long as you have enough knowledge to pass the relevant exams and show a knowledge learning ability above the standard, you can enter the university. I think with my academic standards, I can skip the third year and directly enter your university.”Lin Nian sorted out his words and said slowly,""Also, with my personality, I don't like to be too passive. The students from your school mentioned the scholarship when they introduced me previously. I want to obtain the scholarship through my studies in an open and aboveboard manner and bear all my living expenses independently.”
"So you're here for the scholarship?”Professor Manstein said.
"Yes." Lin Nian admitted without hesitation,""I want to get into school early and get a scholarship.”
"So you've been bargaining all this time.”Mandy, who was sitting across the table, leaned against the table with her hand on her forehead. She never expected that Lin Nian, who had been so independent the entire time, would go around for so long just for the scholarship.
Lin Nian, who was holding the phone, glanced at Mandy and said,""This is a country where you can bargain for half an hour for 50 cents.”
Mandy rubbed her temples. 36000 dollars was not a small amount, but it was definitely not a lot for Kassel College. It was even a drop in the ocean. If it was just about money, then there would be no problem with this enrollment.
"If it was an ordinary student, I might have rejected it. However, if it was you, it's not impossible for you to enter the school early.”" Do you have anything else to add?" Professor Manstein asked. I hope you know that our academy is sincere in nurturing outstanding students, and you are undoubtedly an outstanding student in our eyes. We will pay special attention to your wishes. If you have any more questions, you can ask them all at once.”
Lin Nian was quiet for a few seconds before he said," There are many students with excellent grades in the country, but why did you come to me?”
" No, I want to correct one thing. You said 'excellent' instead of 'excellent'.”Professor Manstein said lightly.
Lin Nian suddenly raised his head and looked at Mandy. He seemed to realize that from the beginning, these people had always praised him with the word " excellent " instead of " excellent."
Outstanding and excellent were both compliments, but there was a difference of one word.
Now, Lin Nian seemed to have realized why this " Kassel Academy " would come to find him.
"You understand." Professor Manstein saw that Lin Nian was silent for a long time and said with a smile,""Also, I heard from Mandy that you can't let go of your sister and stay in the country alone, right?”
"Yes, my original plan was to advance the scholarship and rent a house near the college to live with him.”Lin Nian said frankly.
"Kassel Academy is located in the outer suburbs. The only way to get there is to take the CC1000 express train. There are no towns near the academy, only wilderness and red pine forests, so you might have to live on campus for the next four years.”" But I'm willing to give you preferential treatment," Professor Manstein said." The school is willing to give you preferential treatment. You can bring your sister to the school. We will arrange a suitable job for her."”
"Professor!" Mandy exclaimed in surprise.
Professor Manstein ignored her and continued,""However, before she enters our campus, she needs to sign a confidentiality agreement, promising not to divulge anything related to the academy, including but not limited to hearing and seeing. Only then can I have the qualifications to apply to the principal to let her enter the academy headquarters with you.”
"This preferential treatment is a little big." Even Lin Nian couldn't help but be moved.""I need to think about it."
Mandy, who was sitting across the table, was dumbfounded again. Since you already know that this preferential treatment is ridiculous, why are you still considering it? Lin Nian didn't know what kind of school Kassel Academy was, but she had been studying for two years. Professor Manstein's preferential treatment for Lin Nian was unprecedented. Although there were many " normal people " in the academy, it was the first time a student had brought their family to the academy.
"What other concerns do you have? Say it together." Professor Manstein did not get angry at Lin Nian's hesitation. Instead, his tone became even more friendly. At least, this was the first time Mandy had seen her professor being so " kind."
"Going abroad is not a small matter. Even if I agree, I have to discuss it with my sister. I need to respect her wishes.”Lin Nian explained.
"About this!" When Mandy heard Lin Nian's words, she suddenly stood up and her eyes lit up.""I've already thought about it!"
Lin Nian looked at Mandy in confusion, but soon, his expression turned into surprise.
Behind Mandy, in another cubicle of the cafe, a person stood up and walked over to sit beside Lin Nian. He spoke into the hands-free iPhone 3,""There's no need to think about it. When can we meet this professor in person?”
"Three days later, I will be waiting for you in the executive suite of the Regent Hotel.”Hearing the third voice, Professor Manstein couldn't help but sigh in his heart. His student's brain was finally enough for once.
"Sis?" Lin Nian looked at Lin Xian, who was sitting beside him in his work clothes, in surprise. At this moment, he suddenly remembered something and looked at the surrounding cafes.
Mandy nodded and said,""I'm sorry that I came to your sister's workplace to look for her before I told you. Before you came, I talked to her about a lot of related things, but she finally decided to listen to your opinion.”
"This is not a small matter. It's best if we talk face-to-face.”Lin Xian nodded and agreed to the proposal of meeting in three days. He ignored Lin Nian's resentful gaze.
"That's for the best. I still have something to do here, so I'll hang up first.”Professor Manstein hung up the phone with satisfaction.
"If we reach an agreement at the Regent Hotel in three days, when will we leave for the academy?”Lin Xian and Lin Nian sat together. Lin Xian, who was on the right, asked.
Now that they had reached a preliminary agreement, Mandy, who was sitting across the table, finally heaved a sigh of relief. She poured her coffee on the sofa and replied,"Of course, the earlier the better. We start school on the 12th. All the procedures and instructions as well as the admission guidance have to be completed in advance in school, so we're actually a little rushed.”
"What's the curriculum arrangement after school starts? It should be the second half of the freshman year. Does Lin Nian need to study by himself for the first half of the semester?”After Lin Xian sat at the table, Lin Nian handed the question and answer to her.
"This is a little troublesome. He missed the first half of his freshman year. Our school's curriculum is special and has a lot of practical classes that require special equipment. If he suddenly transfers, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep up with the teaching progress. Actually, I suggest that he sit in for half a year after he enters the school and then attend classes with the new freshmen after the semester ends.”Mandy sorted out her words and said.
"You don't have to worry about that. I have confidence in him.”" What's your school's specialization?" Lin Xian asked.”
"This isn't a matter of confidence.”Mandy smiled bitterly." Our school's curriculum is very special, so our specialization is also very special. As for the details, we can only tell you after you sign the agreement. However, the only thing I can say is that we will distribute our graduation packages.”
"The toilet cleaning is also included in the graduation assignment.”Lin Nian interrupted.
"If you want to clean the toilets, you have to go to the White House.”Mandy said.
"Isn't that still cleaning the toilet?" Lin Nian regretted agreeing so quickly.
As if she could see the regret on Lin Nian's face, Mandy immediately stopped her nonsense and said,""Our school is also very famous in the upper class. The students who come out are especially popular.”
"But I heard that many of the graduates from Cambridge also go to wash toilets.”Lin Nian said.
Mandy thought to herself, Are you going to wash the toilets today?
"Let's talk about the details in three days.”Lin Xian handed the phone back and smiled beautifully.""Sorry to trouble you today, Miss Mandy.”
"It's no trouble. Oh right, Professor Manstein asked me to give this to you.”Mandy took out a brand new white iPhone 3 from her bag and placed it on the table in front of Lin Nian.
"Your school still has a way of giving a greeting gift?”Lin Nian hesitated and didn't touch the phone.
"No, this is a necessary means of communication. If you don't have a phone, it will be very troublesome for us to contact you. This is a benefit for new students.”Mandy helped Lin Nian open the contact list on his phone. Mandy and Manstein's names were quietly lying on the contact list.
"Then I'll take it for the time being. If we don't reach an agreement in three days, I'll return the phone to you.”Lin Nian did not reject the gift.
"By the way, I suggest you eat hotpot.”Mandy said for no reason.
Lin Nian was stunned for a moment before he could react. Mandy looked at him and smiled."After all, you were classmates with your high school classmates for two years. After you went to the United States, you would study for four years. Perhaps one day, when you took the time to come back, you would find that you didn't know anyone. It was as if you were a stranger in this city. At that time, you would regret not saying goodbye to your old friends before you left.”
Lin Nian was speechless. Mandy had said a lot, but he didn't care much. He felt that Mandy had already decided that the deal would be settled in three days.
