Chapter 584 Growth
As the sun set, the last pick-up car outside the Regent Hotel also left. The waiter stood on the roadside and watched the car's taillights disappear at the far intersection of the street. The blue glass building was dyed red with the setting sun. , the whole city became lazy in warm colors, and the people after work hid in the shadow of the building and took a nap while walking, as if they would fall asleep at any moment.
On the executive floor of the Regent Hotel, there were only empty chairs left in the lobby, and empty juice glasses were placed on the seats, casting semi-transparent shadows diagonally. From the open door of the suite, you can see Lin Nian sitting on the chair at the end of the conference table, still looking through the resumes on his laptop.
"If you are worried, why don't you tell him directly? Instead of provoking him with that kind of question?" someone asked near the door of the conference room.
"It's not to provoke him, that's a necessary question. He's not like me, and he won't be me. Kassel College needs him, but it may not be suitable for him." Lin Nian answered without raising his head.
Lin Xian walked into the conference room at the door, came to Lin Nian's side and put a cup of hot milk in his hand. He turned around and sat on the table, gently folding his arms and tilting his head to look at the three items displayed in separate windows on the laptop. Zhang Xili said, "Although you are responsible as a friend by doing this, how will the principal explain it? You also said on the plane that Lu Mingfei was the person named by Principal Ange, right?"
"Although he has great potential, he is not a necessary choice. He is not ready yet." Lin Nian said.
"Do you think he would really choose Kassel Gate just because of a girl he has a crush on, as you thought?" Lin Xian was one of the people who knew Lin Nian particularly well, so he naturally knew what he was doing against Lu Mingfei during the day. What does the last question asked by Lin Nian in the interview imply?
"If he really chooses to join Cassel College because of Chen Wenwen, then he might as well not come. Cassel College has no shortage of such a person." Lin Nian said lightly.
"Even if he is an 'S' class?"
"Even if he is an 'S' class." Lin Nian said, "I can do everything he can do, and even do it better. Kassel Academy does not lack a new 'S' class, especially if he is determined to No one has made up his mind. His mind is not clear right now and he cannot make a correct judgment."
"Maybe he really likes the girl named Chen Wenwen. After all, the girl seems to be his first crush. It's not uncommon for him to get angry for a beauty. Why can't you accept him because Chen Wenwen chose to join Kassel? Where is the academy?" Lin Xian asked.
"When people talk about soul and sincerity, it's all an excuse for people with cerebral palsy to try their best to believe in love." Lin Nian looked up at Lin Xian and said, "Wait a little longer, he still needs some time, if it's really not suitable I will explain it to Principal Angers personally."
Lin Xian looked at Lin Nian for a few seconds and then suddenly said, "What other things are you worried about?"
Lin Nian raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Xian. He was silent for a moment and then looked down at the screen. "What a coincidence."
"What's such a coincidence?"
"The timing is so coincidental," Lin Nian said.
"Time?"
"The 'Kuimen Project' will probably have a major breakthrough in the near future. The salvage team patrolling the Yangtze River seems to have successfully located the approximate location of the Dragon Tomb." Lin Nian said.
"'Kuimen Project'?" Lin Xian paused. This was the first time Lin Nian mentioned this matter to her.
"The Dragon King is about to wake up." Lin Nian looked at Lin Xian and said.
The conference room was quiet for a long time. Lin Xian, who looked at Lin Nian, was stunned for a long time before he nodded gently, "Dragon King?"
"It's hard for me not to speculate on many things if he wants to enroll at this time." Lin Nian said, "It's better to let him wait for another year, or postpone it for a while. Even if he enrolls in another university, he can be exchanged I inserted the title of student into Kassel Academy halfway through, just like I did before.”
"Are you worried that he will become a tool in the hands of those above?"
"There is nothing to worry about becoming a tool. What you should really worry about is being a tool but not having the consciousness you deserve." Lin Nian said, "Even if he really wants to work hard for the cause of slaying dragons, he must know what he is doing. It is worth paying for your life, rather than being put on the battlefield ignorantly, and being squeezed out of everything in a desperate situation to gain huge benefits for those above."
"Actually, I'm not afraid that he is an ordinary person. If he is just an ordinary person who is misjudged as an 'S' class, then everything will be easy to handle. He has no chance of being taken advantage of. He can't even pass the 3E exam. But the trouble is that he does have potential." Young Lin said in a low voice, "However, he is still struggling with whether he should step into our world because of a girl. If I really want to get him to the academy by any means necessary, You can just give Chen Wenwen a pass in the interview and trick him into the academy together. After passing the 3E exam, those without blood will be eliminated, and those with blood will stay in the academy and work for the secret party for the rest of their lives."
"Okay." Lin Xian said, "You won't do this."
"I won't do this. It won't benefit anyone." Lin Nian nodded and said, "The best way to deal with it is to wait. If the problem lies with Chen Wenwen, then the best way to solve this matter is Chen Wenwen. In my opinion, This problem is actually not a problem.”
"Isn't it a little too cruel?" Lin Xian asked.
"Actually, everyone understands some things, but he is the only one who doesn't understand." Lin Nian said, "Someone has to stand up and wake him up, lead him to truly come out, and let him see clearly who he really is. , what exactly do you want, and what are you willing to spend the rest of your life for? Do you think I can get used to him being kept in the dark?"
"But why didn't you do what you always wanted to do? Take him out?" Lin Xian asked.
"It's useless." Lin Nian looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows in the conference room that reflected the setting sun in front of the table and said softly, "Who is he? A child? We have all had unrealistic dreams. There will be things in our dreams. The angel took us out of the predicament. Amidst the high notes and highlights, and the praise and admiration of countless people, we left with our heads held high. But this is just a child's dream of failure. It is a sign of immaturity. I want to use external forces to make myself better. The image in other people's eyes can be changed. This kind of dream is very stupid."
"But no one has ever been so stupid."
"Me too." Lin Nian said, "So I know very well that the only one who can lead me out of the predicament in life and climb out of the trough is myself. We can have friends around us who can help us, and what they can and should do is also There is only support and companionship, and it is impossible to truly rely on them to completely transform. The only one who can help Lu Mingfei is himself. I want him to come out on his own, instead of needing someone to hold his hand and help him open the door! "
"As long as you think it's the right thing, then do it." Lin Xian looked at Lin Young and nodded lightly and smiled, "But what about Professor Guderian? He has high expectations for his new student. I’m really looking forward to it, if I knew you were stuck in the interview, the other person might go crazy, right?”
"As for his words"
Before Lin Nian finished speaking, the door to the suite was pushed open. Before he saw the person, he heard the other person's breathing and hurried inquiry, "How was the interview result?"
What came in was a dusty old man, carrying a suitcase, eyes on the bridge of his nose, wearing a sloppy white suit and a pair of baggy pants that didn't match well. Lin Nian and the old man looked at each other, and sure enough he said Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here. Lin Xian on the side turned to look at the old man who came in, shrugged helplessly and stopped talking, leaving the scene to Lin Nian.
"Professor Guderian." Lin Nian sat on the chair and nodded slightly, "I heard from Veleva that you found an outstanding blood descendant in Russia. What are the details?"
". Not bad, a girl with great potential. She was very calm during the interview, which also highlighted the similarities between our ethnic groups. Norma's prediction of blood class has always been accurate. Her score in the 3E exam will definitely not be lower than 'A' level! Just like Lu Mingfei, potential and strength are always consistent!" Professor Guderian quickly walked to the other end of the conference table and went to the forest like a dog that couldn't help but hold its food bowl. The laptop screen in front of Nian moved forward, causing Lin Nian to helplessly lean back to avoid it.
"How is Lu Mingfei? What was the result of his interview?"
"As the principal said, it has good potential. It can be basically determined that it is indeed a mixed race, and it also has potential that we don't know yet that has not been tapped." Lin Nian said.
"Being recognized by you, who is also an 'S' class, means that Lu Mingfei is also a genuine 'S' class! The only 'S' class student studying in Cassel College!" Guderian was like He felt as excited as a shot of adrenaline. Even the jet lag from the red-eye flight couldn't stop his excitement. "Tell me, how was Lu Mingfei's answer?"
"Which aspect are you referring to?" Lin Nian pressed the fingers of his hands together gently, leaning his elbows on the armrests on both sides of the seat for support.
"What other aspect could there be? Did he show his 'Blood Mourning' and his sense of identification with 'alien' in the interview questions?"
"About this." Lin Nian said, "For his interview, I did not ask him the original questions as per the rules, but gave him a few more questions to answer."
Guderian stared at the laptop screen for a moment and nodded, "Excellent students should be treated specially. What question did you ask him? How did he answer it? Why can't I find the record on the computer?"
"His answer didn't satisfy me, so I asked him to go back and wait," Lin Nian said.
".What?"
Guderian was stunned and stared at Lin Nian for a long time. Lin Nian, whose face was illuminated by the sunset shining through the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at him calmly until the other party realized what incredible words he had just heard.
"What did you say?" Guderian's voice rose an octave, like an insulted virtuous woman, and he almost jumped up.
Lin Xian, who was sitting next to him before, had already expected that he trotted out of the suite with his hands behind his back, probably to find Villeva to prepare for dinner, leaving the excited and incoherent old man dancing around the room repeatedly, almost singing a song. Hot foot tap dance.
Lin Nian sat in his seat and watched quietly as Guderian paced back and forth around the conference table. The words he spoke anxiously changed from fluent Chinese to German, and then to French, which he probably took as an elective in college. Lin Nian, who has been studying many languages for a while, can generally understand some of them. He said that it was a mistake, how rare the 'S' level was, and how important Lu Mingfei was.
No matter what Guderian said, he did not open his mouth to refute, he just sat there and looked at him until he realized that something had happened, and the interviewer who made this decision did not seem to be affected by his emotional attack. When he made any mistakes, he realized that this was not a "mistake", but a deliberate act by the boy in front of him.
"I have my own considerations." Lin Nian said, "If I think he is not ready to enter the academy, then his enrollment will not be today. If he has been unprepared, then that day will be postponed indefinitely. .”
"It's been decades since there was an 'S' class. Principal Angers discovered you before, and the entire secret party's ecology was revitalized. Now the atmosphere in the entire academy is thriving and full of vitality. If there is another one,' S' level is a good thing for the entire academy. How can you give up Lu Mingfei just because you think it's not suitable?" Guderian was a little anxious. The old guy scratched his head but couldn't think of any way. Because of this interview Angers had given full authority over the official qualification to Lin Nian. If Lin Nian insisted on blocking Lu Mingfei's admission, no one could do anything unless the principal personally took back Lin Nian's interview qualification.
The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. It would make anyone feel uncomfortable to do such a thing as destroying another 'S' class for the sake of another 'S' class. What's more, Lin Nian's reputation is so great that he is almost completely recognized. An authoritative leader in the new era.
Lu Mingfei, the later 'S' class, had to be severely suppressed by Lin Nian in terms of influence and pedigree. Now Lin Nian was determined to hold him down and no one could do anything.
"Professor Guderian, Lu Mingfei and I are friends." Lin Nian seemed to explain in order to prevent Guderian from thinking that the problem with this interview was due to his deliberate suppression, "I know what kind of person he is, and I also It may sound ironic to know how to do what is good for him and for your own good, but I will do it this time even if I am gossiped about."
Guderian scratched the back of his head hard but couldn't say anything. Lin Nian closed the laptop screen and looked at the troubled old man and said smoothly, "There is only one person who is tentatively approved for this interview, you." You should also know who it is. Other than that, no one else has the standard bloodline. If you still feel confused, why not go see Lu Mingfei in person and tell him the news, and then see his reaction. You probably know why I did this.”
After saying that, Lin Nian left the room with his notebook, leaving Guderian standing there alone. After scratching his head, he gritted his teeth and took out his mobile phone to make a call.
