In the afternoon, a Cadillac sedan drove out of Brighton, drove to Lexington via Interstate 44, and finally drove into Uncle Tiger's archway villa, parked the car at the door of the villa, Hoover got out of the car, walked into the side building under the leadership of the villa servant, and walked into Uncle Tiger's study.

Uncle Tiger was standing in front of his desk at this time with a brush and splashing ink, Hoover didn't dare to disturb him, so he consciously retreated to the side to find a chair and sit down quietly, and after a while, when Uncle Tiger threw away an unknown number of pieces of rice paper, it was finally completed.

"I felt uncomfortable at night, drove to the ancient plains, the sunset was infinitely good, but it was just near dusk. ”

Uncle Tiger sighed with emotion, and he picked up the pair of words he wrote with both hands, which was Li Shangyin's "Dengle Youyuan".

Seeing this, Hoover knew that Uncle Tiger had finished writing, so he got up from his chair, but before he could speak, Uncle Tiger spoke first: "There is such a magical waterfall in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, the water poured down from the waterfall will be like burning magma, which is very spectacular, but it is a pity that such a great landscape is only so short-lived, and it is also in the evening when the day is about to end." ”

As he spoke, Uncle Tiger turned to Hoover and said, "Just like us old men, whatever we hold in our hands is going to be brought into the coffin." ”

Hoover hurriedly said: "Uncle Tiger, you are still in good health, and you will definitely become a centennial birthday star." ”

"I hope so too, but who can say this kind of thing, maybe I can live to be more than a hundred years old, maybe I will suddenly disappear tomorrow next year, so while I am still alive, I can do a little more. ”

Uncle Tiger sighed and said that he was going to say something when he saw that Hoover, but Uncle Tiger still said first: "Don't talk about this, you came here today, did you bring me any good news? About Zhou Ming's little guy." ”

Hoover nodded and said: "Yes Uncle Tiger, it's about Zhou Ming, everything is as you expected, when Lawrence temporarily replaced Zhou Ming as the freshman representative to give a speech at the opening ceremony, after the news of your appointment with Zhou Ming was spread, all the forces in Brighton couldn't sit still, and they all contacted Zhou Ming through their spokespeople on the Harvard campus." ”

Just this morning, several major associations, including the student union, the Harvard Associated Society, and the Olive Vine Association, were dispatched, and Zhou Ming, who was personally invited by the president of the association. In addition, I heard that the class tutor they arranged, Zyra, also seemed to have been in contact with Zhou Ming alone, and it was initially inferred that Nordriman might be working for the Harvard Foundation Institute. ”

Hoover thought for a moment and added: "Another point, the original freshman representative Millard also expressed his dissatisfaction with Zhou Ming, and this morning he led people to intercept Zhou Ming at the door of the Department of Economics and tried to humiliate Zhou Ming. ”

"As a result, he didn't succeed, and was even humiliated by Zhou Ming in turn, right?" Uncle Hu asked.

Hoover nodded and said, "That's it." ”

"It seems that old Millard's seed is not very good, as a governor, he once pulled his son out to give a speech during the campaign, how carefully cultivated, but it is useless, Millard should not be able to hold his breath or not hold his breath. ”

Uncle Tiger said a few words and then said to Hoover: "What about Zhou Ming? He must have called you to complain, right?"

"That's why I came to you, Uncle Tiger, today. Hoover said, "Zhou Ming...... Didn't call me. ”

This answer made Uncle Tiger very surprised: "You said that Zhou Ming didn't call you after these things happened?"

Hoover nodded and replied, "No, or at least not yet." ”

"This kind of call must have been made at the beginning, since there is no one now, then it can mean that there will be no more, I believe that kid has this awareness. ”

Uncle Tiger was happy: "I didn't expect this Zhou Ming to be so calm, so many things have happened, and it is all because of me, he can actually hold back and not complain, and not even make a phone call, this is really not like a young man, even many people in their forties and fifties can't do it, not to mention the same young Millard, comparing him with Zhou Ming, I think it's an insult to Zhou Ming." ”

......

Meanwhile, on the Harvard campus, southeast of Lexington, Zhou Ming was sitting on the balcony of his dormitory drinking tea.

The mobile phone was placed on the coffee table next to it, and Zhou Ming had already pressed the number this morning and had already dialed it out, but Zhou Ming hung up the phone before the phone was connected.

"Actually, it's not a big deal to be a young man to make a phone call and complain a few words, at most, it's not a big deal to let that Mr. Tiger disappoint me, maybe it's a blessing in disguise, but unfortunately, if you don't have that habit, you don't have that habit. ”

Zhou Ming laughed at himself, suddenly there was a knock on the door of the room, Zhou Ming got up and went over to open the door, and saw ** coming over with a white student, of course, this white student Zhou Ming knew him, he was the chairman of Danny who invited him to join the general meeting of the student union at the door of the Department of Economics in the morning.

Zhou Ming wanted to invite Danny in, but Danny invited Zhou Ming to go out for a walk, and a few minutes later, they walked together on the main road of Harvard.

Danny glanced back at the bodyguard who had been following behind and said to Zhou Ming: "Very good bodyguard, I don't know what it's like in China, but in the United States, anyone who has bodyguards to protect him is either a senior politician or a rich man with a lot of money." ”

"It doesn't really matter. Zhou Ming changed the topic very lightly, "Compared to this, I am more curious about the purpose of Chairman Danny's sudden visit. ”

"It's still the same as in the morning, I hope Zhou Ming can join the student union. Danny then added, "But Zhou Ming doesn't need to call me Chairman Danny, just call me Danny." ”

Zhou Ming nodded and said: "Okay Danny, but I think I have made it clear in the morning, I have already joined the Chinese Overseas Students Association, and it is inconvenient to join other clubs, because that is equivalent to betrayal, I'm sorry I used such a word, but in terms of performance, it is so." ”

"That's why I came out of you, classmate Zhou Ming. Danny pointed around and said, "You see, the Harvard campus is actually huge, and there's even a bigger main campus on the other side of the Charles River, which you can only see when you step out of your dorm room." In the same way, you are only a member of the Chinese Students Association, and I know that you are very patriotic, which is a great work of ethics that deserves praise, but I don't think that prevents you from participating in more and better associations, just like you live in a dormitory, but it doesn't prevent you from going out and walking every day. ”

"It's a very interesting metaphor Danny, but you can't convince me with that alone. Zhou Ming thought for a moment and then said, "Unless Danny, you have something else to tell me." ”

Hearing this, Danny suddenly stopped, and after being silent for a while, he said: "It seems that you can temporarily replace Millard as the freshman representative to speak at the opening ceremony, it is not accidental, you really have your own ability, then I won't play dumb riddles with you, I came to you to really hope to invite you to join the student union, but I hope to cooperate with you." ”

"Cooperation?" Zhou Ming said in surprise.

"That's right, it's cooperation. Danny said, "I think you should also know that this Harvard campus is not just a university, the world's elites are here, how many elite consortia are eager to recruit talents from here, and all the clubs here will be more or less supported by the consortium." ”

"Yes, I know all of that. Zhou Ming looked at Danny and asked, "What about Danny's student union?"

Danny looked at Zhou Ming meaningfully and asked, "Are you asking me or the student union?"

Zhou Ming raised his eyebrows: "Does this make any difference?"

"Of course, there is a difference, if you ask the student union, then this is a student organization at Harvard University, dedicated to helping the university better manage students, as the largest and most influential student club on the Harvard campus, it is of course co-funded by the Harvard school and the Brighton consortium. ”

Listening to Danny tell Zhou Ming about the student union, Zhou Ming didn't interrupt until he finished speaking, Zhou Ming asked, "What about you, Danny?"

"Of course, I am serving another consortium, but compared to other large consortiums, my boss does not have such strong assets, so since Zhou Ming is unwilling to join the student union, I have to replace my boss to talk to you about cooperation. Danny said.

"Did I hear me right, you are talking about cooperation, not lobbying me to join your boss's consortium?" Zhou Ming asked.

"Of course you heard it right, I'm talking about cooperation, because you are the person that Mr. Tiger fancies, although my boss doesn't know what Mr. Tiger talked about with you, but he believes that you will definitely have your own consortium in the future, and you will not be willing to succumb to others. Danny said.

Zhou Ming asked meaningfully, "Why is he so sure, if I say that Mr. Tiger didn't give me any help?"

"It's all the same. "Because all the people who are treated like this can do well, and of course because of my age, I don't know much about the past, but I only know that just two years ago, there was a guy like you who was interviewed by Mr. Tiger, who had just set up a fund company and had only a million dollars in operating capital, but the next year he was able to fund the mayoral election in Brighton." ”

"That's a legend. Zhou Ming said, "So what happened later?"

"Later?" said Danny with a sigh, "it's a pity that this man was too sharp and provoked the wrong person, and he was killed in his apartment just after that mayoral election." ”

Zhou Ming noticed Danny's words: "Killed by himself?"

Danny nodded and said, "It was self-killing, because the result of the police investigation was suicide, and everything in the apartment was also suicide, but what the actual situation was, I'm afraid only God knows." ”

Zhou Ming said that he could understand that if that person really provoked the wrong person, the other party wanted to find a professional killer to kill him, and it was not difficult to create a false impression of suicide, especially if the other party was still a super consortium, the police would not investigate in depth under pressure.

"Then according to your meaning, will I be next?" Zhou Ming asked.
