The door of the conference room opened, and Su Xiaoqiang walked out. Everyone on the seats in the living room raised their heads and looked at her, as if they wanted to see something on this girl's face to determine their competitiveness. Will it stay the same or become more involuted in the process going forward.
But unfortunately, there was nothing unusual about Su Xiaoqiang's expression. Lu Mingfei wanted to ask for information but found that the girl walked out like Chen Wenwen before, without even looking at him. She turned around and left, standing behind her. Lin Xian, who was there, stretched out his hand to hold the door and stood dignifiedly glancing at everyone, his eyes finally resting on Lu Mingfei.
"Next, Lu Mingfei."
Like a prisoner being interrogated at the Meridian Gate Execution Ground, Lu Mingfei stood up as soon as his name was read. His heart beat a little, but he was still hesitant. Chen Wenwen and Su Xiaoqiang left one after another without saying a word. He has no confidence in his heart. Facing the mystery of Cassel College, he is more afraid and hesitant. What is the reason that allows him to stay here and participate in this interview? He himself cannot explain clearly.
Lin Xian stood by the door, with no emotion or anger on his face. He watched Lu Mingfei stand up with an indifferent expression, and then walked slowly over. Instead of blowing him off, he stared at him as he walked past him and entered the room. Then he turned around and closed the door to block the eyes from outside.
—
Lu Mingfei walked into the room and stopped. One step further was the sunlight that illuminated half of the conference room. He stopped in front of the light and stared blankly at the end of the conference table, tilting his head and flipping through his laptop thoughtfully. The boy who took the record looked happily at Villeva, who was approaching Lin Nian and was stared at for a long time. When he realized that the new candidate was already in place, he coughed twice to remind Lin Nian.
Lin Nian glanced across the laptop screen at Lu Mingfei, who was standing at the door of the room staring blankly at him. He slowly sat upright and said, "Good morning, I am the examiner this time. Next to me is Wei Leva Helsinki, the deputy examiner this time, the two of us will interview you this time to determine whether you are qualified to enter our college."
Lu Mingfei stood there like a stupid goose, looking at Lin Nian and not knowing what to do. Vilewa coughed quietly and signaled him to say something. Then he seemed to have woken up from a dream. He got up and nodded quickly and said, "Hello examiner, I am Lin Nian."
"...Hello Lin Nian, I'm Lu Mingfei." Lin Nian raised his eyebrows and said.
Lin Xian, who had just walked to the corner, couldn't help but burst into laughter. After sitting down, he still covered half of his face with his hands, probably almost laughing. Lu Mingfei turned his head and glanced at Lin Xian in the corner before he realized. Come here, he has done something stupid. If this was another interview site, he would have been asked out by the examiner... But not now, because the person sitting on the conference table is like the repeater that was going crazy in his mind just now. People who have read it countless times.
"We're all acquaintances, sit down."
So Lu Mingfei took two steps forward, stiffly pulled out a chair at the conference table and sat on it. Then he saw Lin Nian stand up directly from the conference table and took the screen of the notebook that Veleva was going to record. Covered.
After retracting her hands from the keyboard, Wei Lewa raised her head and glanced at Lin Nian. She saw him walking around the conference table with his hands in his pockets and walking all the way to Lu Mingfei, who was sitting there. He leaned against the conference table and gave a gentle kiss. She sat down on the table next to Lu Mingfei, folded her hands in her clothes and looked down at the boy.
Lu Mingfei was also looking at Lin Nian, a little dumbfounded. His eyes were mainly on Lin Nian's shoulders. Looking at his reaction, Lin Nian said, "After entering the room, the first place you look at is the chair of the conference table." You were seated, which is where I was, but you didn’t look at my face, but looked at my shoulders, and then you were stunned for a few seconds, and your eyes shifted to the shoulders of my deputy examiner again.”
Lu Mingfei's face suddenly became tense. He looked up at this familiar old acquaintance who looked a little nervous. Lin Nian also saw his forced composure but clearly showed it. He smiled lightly and said, "Lu Mingfei, have I ever told you that you can’t hide anything in your heart? Your thoughts are clearly written on your face and eyes. You don’t need to study psychology to see it in your every move. Is there something on your mind?"
"Lin Nian...?" Lu Mingfei called out Lin Nian's name. What was interesting was that his tone was hesitant, just like old acquaintances who suddenly met in a bustling night market, but did not dare to recognize each other immediately.
"I thought you would call me 'Sir' since I was the interviewer," Lin Nian said.
"..." Lu Mingfei paused, and at the same time confirmed that this was indeed Lin Nian.
"You read that right. This interview is my venue. I am the examiner. At the same time, I can also tell you without hesitation that if you want to pass the interview, I can add your name to the admission list at any time. , and there will also be a special grant from Professor Guderian as a scholarship to invite you to enroll. The amount is 36,000 US dollars a year, which is just a baseline difference from my original enrollment. It is enough for you to complete four years of college while still having a The balance." Lin Nian looked down at Lu Mingfei and said.
"What scholarship?" Lu Mingfei was still numb after the shock. Lin Nian said a lot but he only heard the word scholarship.
"As a reward for outstanding students, Cassel College is a campus with a tutorial system and a credit system. Every student will have his or her own tutor. During the four years of the university, the tutor will be responsible for your studies and some trivial matters in life, even Your mentor is obliged to celebrate your birthday."
"So...human?"
"Yeah, it's so humane." Lin Nian only left half of his words. On his birthday, the gift Professor Manstein gave him was to receive the scholarship for that year in advance. Logically speaking, these scholarships need to be paid in advance. Lin Nian had to pass all subjects before he could be approved by Norma, but Manstein just approved the money in advance as a birthday gift for his students... He really knows what his students like. .
But why he only spoke half of his words is because birthday celebrations are also divided into teachers. For example, Chu Zihang’s birthday is Children’s Day on June 1st, but in the Executive Department, Lin Nian heard that Minister Schneider was planning to On that day, a special 'A' level dangerous mission was specially assigned to Chu Zihang to handle alone. There was no logistics or team members during the mission, and it was completely completed by Chu Zihang alone... Let a freshman do this even if there are a group of lunatics. The executive department would also be brain-broken by a large number of special approvals, but Schneider just took away the privileges to settle the matter, and claimed that this was a "birthday gift" to his students.
Therefore, things like birthday celebrations by tutors can sometimes be tricky. Lin Nian didn't know what Guderian's temper was, but judging from his off-the-line impression of the professor, Lu Mingfei probably wouldn't have a good time celebrating his birthday. That’s it.
"Then... what do we do now?" Lu Mingfei swallowed and was a little dazed. He was still a little nervous now, but it was not because of the nervousness of the interview... but the nervousness of shame. He suddenly realized that he seemed to be in trouble. I got a lucky break that no one else would have in their lifetime, and an acquaintance became the main interviewer. It seemed that I was going to use a terrible back door...
"How to calculate?" Lin Nian raised his head after hearing this, "If I want to let you out now, it's not impossible to give you a pass directly... But I think we still have to ask some questions casually. Wait for a while, right? Otherwise, if people outside see you coming in and going out so quickly, and then the school reports that you passed the interview, won't it cause a lot of gossip? "
"Yes, yes, yes." Lu Mingfei nodded fiercely, and he was led away by Lin Nian from the first moment he saw him.
"Then let me ask you a few questions according to the rules." Lin Nian said, "Lu Mingfei, that night at the Pearl Tower, the commissioner who was traveling with me said that you have a bad habit of looking over your shoulder. You don't deny this, right? "
Seeing Lin Nian staring at him, Lu Mingfei was shocked to realize that the other party knew that he had not lost his memory and nodded completely, "I have this habit..."
"I remember you didn't have this habit before." Lin Nian nodded, "When people meet, most people first look at each other's face, then observe his figure, and then the obvious features of his body. Characteristics, maybe the order of this process varies from person to person, but one thing they have in common is that the first thing everyone sees must be the most impressive thing about the person in front of him, such as body shape, appearance, posture... .But it’s interesting that you like to look over people’s shoulders.”
"I, I, I, I am observing..."
"Observe whether I have frozen shoulder or high and low shoulders?" Lin Nian looked at Lu Mingfei, who was sweating on his forehead, and turned to glance at Veleva. The latter picked up the remote control and pressed it in the corner. After a "ding" sound, The air conditioner started to run and blew cool air into the room. Lu Mingfei shivered because of the cold and sweat on his back.
"It's enough to lie to other people with some nonsense, but forget it if you lie to me, Lu Mingfei." Lin Nian stretched out his hand and pressed Lu Mingfei's shoulder, "Yanling? Or something else? You can see what others are saying. The missing thing is a good thing. At least it is a stepping stone to join Kassel Academy. Those who can enter the academy are not normal people, so you don’t have to worry about becoming an outlier."
Lu Mingfei looked a little weird, his head was lowered and he couldn't say anything. He didn't deny or admit it, but this attitude was basically accepted by everyone.
"That night at the Pearl Tower, you were able to find me at a glance in the crowd, probably because of your little habit of looking over my shoulder, right? Then I can roughly confirm that your ability is related to spying on strangers' personal information... You can To determine the strength or danger level of an individual creature by seeing things that others cannot see?" Lin Nian asked calmly.
In less than a minute, Lin Nian directly dug out the biggest secret that Lu Mingfei had been hiding during this period. Lu Mingfei suddenly became uneasy in his chair and looked at the boy next to him with a dry mouth. Not knowing what to do, Lin Nian closed his eyes slightly when he looked like this, "Maybe this is what makes you special... Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked the person who asked me to pick you up specially... Lu Ming No, please answer me a question out of curiosity."
"What...what's the problem?" Lu Mingfei breathed, feeling that Lin Nian in front of him was completely unfamiliar. This sense of oppression and calm questioning methods were like another person. He used to laugh about the things he said when fighting in a group. Standing in front of Lin Nian, he was like a quail. Perhaps the pressure he felt now was the feeling of those crappy high school students back then, right?
"A very simple question. You have the ability to identify the differences between individuals. Relying on this ability, you can seek advantages and avoid disadvantages to a certain extent. So tell me...?" Lin Nian raised his head and hands slightly. He put it in his trouser pocket and crossed his legs and said quietly, "Who do you think is the most threatening to you in this room?"
