Zhou Ming's words reminded Ye Ning and made her react, you must know that Lawrence is the president of Harvard University, or the old president of Harvard for thirty years, such a person, not to mention how powerful he is or even a person who can run for president, but at least he will definitely not be a mediocre person who ignores the overall situation and will make blind decisions according to his own ideas.

But today is such a person, he will directly change the process of the opening ceremony without notifying anyone in advance, and may not even consult with anyone, replacing the new students who speak without authorization, and directly pushing the Chinese new students to the cusp.

No matter how you look at it, this is a ridiculous move made by a casual rich second generation, and it is extremely incompatible with a stable thirty-year-old principal.

Because not to mention that from Zhou Ming to all the students in the finance class are very face-saving to him, even if it is to break his face and make him have an embarrassing experience, but he is all studying in Harvard, no matter how angry he is, there are at least a hundred ways to retaliate, why don't you need to make a fuss at the opening ceremony? Could it be that this old principal is old and confused, and really thinks that after 30 years as president, the Harvard Board of Trustees will not fire him?

It is said that people are old and fine, if Lawrence is a little Alzheimer's or not in a good mental condition, it is possible, but under the premise of such a full mental state, it is impossible at all.

So since things that are impossible no matter how logically deduced are actually happening, then there are obviously other explanations.

Just now Mr. Zhou said that he was going to thank Principal Lawrence, could it be that Mr. Zhou had reached some agreement with Principal Lawrence in advance, and Principal Lawrence did this on purpose today?

This idea also made Ye Ning feel like a fantasy, although she admired Zhou Ming very much, and believed that as long as Zhou Ming came out to speak, she would definitely be able to suppress the audience; but the key was that she couldn't figure it out, and Zhou Ming, who had just arrived in the United States, could come up with what chips to make a deal with Lawrence, so that he risked his reputation as Harvard president for thirty years to be ruined to push an unknown Chinese.

But if none of this is the case, then why?

Ye Ning felt that the root in front of him was a chain of unsolvable problems, which made people go crazy.

Zhou Ming saw the confusion on Ye Ning's face, he rubbed Ye Ning's head and said, "Okay, don't think about it, there are some questions I think when we get to the destination, there may be answers." ”

Ye Ning nodded heavily, she was very glad that she had made the decision to follow Zhou Ming, otherwise she might never understand why this was for the rest of her life.

Zhou Ming and Ye Ning got into his Buick, and soon arrived at the principal's building, where Lawrence lived, Zhou Ming and the others arrived at the door, but saw that the lady Lily they met when they first came over was waiting at the door, and when they saw Zhou Ming and they got out of the car, she stepped forward and said, "Hello Mr. Zhou Ming, Mr. Principal is waiting for you in the office, please follow me." ”

Ms. Lily's words were very unexpected, and Ye Ning was immediately surprised: "Ms. Lily, you said that Mr. Lawrence Principal knew that we were coming, so he was waiting for us in the office?"

Ye Ning couldn't help but be surprised, because she came here with Zhou Ming, and she knew very well that Zhou Ming came directly without making any appointment with Principal Lawrence in advance, so how did Lawrence know that Zhou Ming would come over?

Zhou Ming also frowned, he also said that he didn't understand this, but at the same time, he was also thinking, today, as the president of Harvard, Lawrence, at the opening ceremony of Harvard, suddenly made such a willful decision to change the freshman representative to speak on the stage, didn't the school board of directors ask him to investigate what the situation was? He still has time to wait for himself here?

Although he had doubts in his heart, Zhou Ming did not say a word.

After looking at Zhou Ming and Ye Ning, Ms. Lily said, "Of course, but Mr. Principal presided over the opening ceremony for a day today, and I am already very tired, so if you want to see Mr. Principal, please do so as soon as possible." ”

Zhou Ming nodded and said yes, and then followed Ms. Lily to Lawrence's office, this time without reporting, but directly into the principal's office in the middle, Lawrence is here, but this time he is not sitting behind the desk like before, but sitting on the sofa in the reception area in front, with a set of tea sets and a pot of steaming black tea in front of him, Lawrence is drinking tea with a small teacup.

Zhou Ming came in and was not in a hurry to speak, because he understood that it was impossible for a person like Lawrence to do useless work, and since he was waiting for him here, he must have something to say to himself, so why should he be in such a hurry?

Lawrence couldn't help but be a little surprised to see that Zhou Ming could hold back his words, but he only raised his eyebrows, and then gestured to ask Zhou Ming and them to sit down.

Zhou Ming took Ye Ning to sit in front of Lawrence, and the bodyguard ** stood vigilantly behind Zhou Ming, although this was in the president's office at Harvard, and there was only Principal Lawrence in front of him, but vigilance was his duty.

"Tea is a specialty of China, it is said to be a plant leaf, but it is fragrant and refreshing, it is a very healthy drink, in Europe hundreds of years ago, the nobles were even willing to exchange the same volume of gold, and the so-called Opium War, in fact, is the dumping of tea in China, so that the British could not afford it, so they had to use drugs to save their trade deficit, because if they were allowed to continue, I am afraid that after a few years the British would no longer have silver to pay, even if the British at that time claimed that the sun never set. ”

Lawrence said while drinking tea: "This shows that the Chinese are very powerful, if it were not for the incompetence of your rulers at that time, you would be able to beat the invincible British to the ground with a small tea leaf." ”

"Tea is indeed a very good commodity, but if there is a lack of corresponding means, it is not invincible, the beginning of the Opium War, and later the British brought tea-making technology to India, Chinese tea has been all the way down, and there is no competitiveness at the beginning. Zhou Ming said.

Lawrence looked at Zhou Ming and suddenly smiled, he gave Zhou Ming a thumbs up, and said inexplicably: "Zhou Ming's way of thinking is really special, not at all like other Chinese I have met." ”

Zhou Ming waited for Lawrence's next sentence, but Lawrence only said such a heartless sentence, so he changed the topic, and then asked Zhou Ming: "I can guess the purpose of your coming here, I want to know why I want to change you Chinese...... Or to put it more bluntly, you will be the representative of the freshmen to give a speech, right?"

Zhou Ming didn't expect Lawrence to be so straightforward, but he still nodded very directly and said: "Yes Mr. Lawrence, I don't mean to offend, I thank you for giving me such an opportunity to give a speech on stage, so that I can have the opportunity to prove that we Chinese are equally good, but I can't understand why you do this, if you say it's just a momentary willfulness then I will have nothing to say." ”

Lawrence smiled even more happily: "Of course I won't be willful, but please give up the idea of using me, because I won't tell you the specific reason." ”

"Why can't you tell me?" Zhou Ming was surprised.

"It's bad for you to say that, but I want to say that you're not qualified right now, can you understand when I say that?" Lawrence said.

Zhou Ming nodded silently, but Lawrence said in a relaxed tone: "But Zhou Ming, maybe the most important thing is that I can't tell you, but I can tell you that I will do this today completely because of someone's trust." ”

Speaking of this, Lawrence thought for a moment, and then asked, "I think there is a person nicknamed Tiger, you should call Uncle Tiger, have you already seen it?"

"Uncle Tiger?"

Hearing this name, Zhou Ming immediately became serious, because Zhou Ming still deeply remembered the pressure he was under in front of Uncle Tiger, and he also remembered that even **, the invincible king of soldiers on the battlefield, was afraid of him.

If it was Uncle Tiger Zhou Ming, he would be relieved, because this person or the forces behind him can even influence the president of the United States, and it couldn't be easier to ask a Harvard president to do him a favor, although this favor may drag him down, but if there is enough exchange of interests, it is not impossible to consider.

But now the question is who is this Uncle Tiger, what is the force behind him, and why does he keep influencing himself like this?

These questions make Zhou Ming feel that he is here in the United States, as if he is covered by a huge net, although this force that doesn't know what is so far is helping him, but this feeling of being controlled by others and not understanding the purpose of the other party at all makes Zhou Ming feel extremely aggrieved.

Damn, I'm not anyone's puppet, I'm in charge of my own affairs!

Zhou Ming clenched his fists and let out such a cry in his heart.

Lawrence looked at Zhou Ming and enlightened him: "Zhou Ming, in fact, it is a good thing not to know some things, don't you have a saying in China that ignorance is a blessing?"

Zhou Ming smiled: "Ignorance is indeed a blessing, people should only know what they should know at that stage at every stage, and it is better not to know other things, not to mention whether you understand or not, even if you understand, it may not be a good thing." ”

"No wonder Tiger is looking for you, you are indeed an interesting little fellow, and I am looking forward to your study life at Harvard. Lawrence said.

"I am also very grateful to Mr. Lawrence for saying this to me, and if Mr. Lawrence has nothing else to say, I think I will take my leave, and not disturb Mr. Lawrence's rest, but perhaps I can say to Mr. Lawrence here, that people are always climbing, and one day, I will stand on the peak of the mountain that I know enough. Zhou Ming said.

"You're a man with a lot of dreams. Lawrence quipped.

Zhou Ming said solemnly: "I don't know if Mr. Lawrence has ever heard a sentence that people have dreams, what if they come true one day?
