Since Zhong Yu took over the group's business, Lu Qing has also been very busy, not to mention working overtime for three days and two ends, and often has to go on business trips.

I finally got some time to get off work on time, but I received a call from Zhong Yu before I got to the parking lot.

"Come to my office!"

"Now?"

"Yes, now, immediately, immediately, immediately!!"

Lu Qing almost trotted all the way upstairs, knocked on the door and entered, and the office was dark.

At this time, it was already half past six o'clock, the sky was getting dark, and there was no light on inside, and a figure stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, dressed in black and pants, with a long and sharp head.

Lu Qing couldn't help but swallow and spoke: "Mr. Zhong, are you looking for me?"

The person standing in front of the window turned around, and Lu Qing noticed that he had a cigarette in his hand, and his heart couldn't help sinking.

It's not that Zhong Yu doesn't smoke, he also smokes on some occasions, but he is not addicted to smoking, and he rarely smokes in the office.

"Have you contacted the lawyer you found before?" Zhong Yu said.

Lu Qing was stunned again, but quickly answered: "I've got in touch, I originally wanted to wait for you to make an appointment to meet tomorrow." ”

"No, right now. ”

"Now, you mean call people out now?"

"Questions?"

"No... No problem!"

Even if he knew that this logic didn't make sense, but seeing Zhong Yu's ugly face, Lu Qing didn't dare to say anything else, he called the lawyer on the spot, and it happened that the other party was free now, so he made an appointment to meet in the conference room an hour later.

When Lu Qing hung up the phone, Zhong Yu had just finished smoking half a cigarette.

"Female?"

"Yes, the best divorce lawyer in Sizhou is currently very well-known in the industry. ”

The man standing in front of the window tilted his head slightly, put the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray, turned around and continued to stand at the window.

The office of more than 300 square meters was like a wasteland gradually sinking into ink, except for a little neon outside the window in front of him.

Night has come, and although the lights of the world are prosperous, they cannot illuminate the whole land.

"What are you doing here, not going out?" Zhong Yu suddenly turned around again.

Lu Qing came back to his senses, and hurriedly left the office with an "oh" sound, and when he walked out of the door, he couldn't help but look back, the man in black and black shirt was still standing in front of the window, although there was a light shining, but he still felt that his back was very lonely.

Lu Qing couldn't help but sigh in his heart and closed the door for Zhong Yu.

An hour later, the lawyer arrived at the agreed time, and Lu Qing led him to the conference room, and after introducing each other, Zhong Yu let Lu Qing go out and stayed alone to talk to the lawyer.

Liang Zhen was taken to Senji Tang Yaosen's office by Xiao Fan, Tang Yaosen had just finished his work, and he came over from the conference room after packing his things.

"Sorry, there's an impromptu meeting. ”

"If you're busy, we can actually make an appointment for another time. ”

"It's okay, it's done. He put his notebook on the table, "By the way, haven't you had dinner yet?"

"Hmm. ”

"If you don't mind, I'll order takeout?"

Since he has come, Liang Zhen doesn't have to be hypocritical, "Yes!"

"Is there a restaurant you'd like to eat?"

"I can do it all!"

"Then I'll look at it. ”

He called the secretary on the landline, quickly finished ordering, and did not forget to ask the secretary to make two cups of coffee to come in, and then took the computer again and walked to the chair opposite Liang Zhen and sat down.

"Getting back to the point, why did you suddenly decide to study abroad?"

Liang Zhen subconsciously stroked his forehead, "Actually, it's not sudden, I've always had this idea." ”

"If it was six years ago that you wanted to go abroad, I thought it would be normal, but now ......" Tang Yaosen paused and asked directly: "Zhong Yu also agrees with you to go out?"

"I should still have the right to make my own decisions if I can't go abroad, and I don't need anyone's consent. ”

"What about Doudou?"

"I'll take him with me. ”

"He agreed, too?"

Liang Zhen didn't answer, and Tang Yaosen suddenly sighed.

"The two of you quarreled after you went back that day?"

"Nope!"

"Then why do you suddenly want to go abroad?"

Liang Zhen suddenly raised his head and stared at him with cold eyes, "Didn't you call me over to help me sort out the matter of going to the United States, can you not talk about other things and talk about the key points directly?"

She was rarely so excited in front of Tang Yaosen, Tang Yaosen was inevitably stunned, but soon laughed again.

Liang Zhen: "What are you laughing at?"

Tang Yaosen: "Laugh at you because you don't want to answer my question, so you are annoyed and angry!"

Liang Zhen: "......"

Tang Yaosen: "But if you don't want to say it, I won't force it, let's get down to business!"

He walked over to the desk and took another stack of printed papers, and handed the first one to Liang Zhen first.

"I took the time to sort out all the universities that offer architecture majors in the United States in the afternoon, and made a table according to the rankings, you can take a look at it first to see if there is anything you like in it. ”

Liang Zhen took the paper, and it was indeed a table that clearly listed the list of all the universities in the United States that offered architecture majors, and besides that

This is a few universities that offer architecture majors that I took the time to sort out in the afternoon, and they have been analyzed according to their comprehensive rankings.

Liang Zhen took the information, and it was indeed a table that clearly listed the basic information of the school, the ranking of majors, the advantages and disadvantages and the application requirements.

"In addition, the two schools marked in red are more suitable for you personally, especially this ......one," Tang Yaosen pointed to one of the items in the table.

Liang Zhen: "Rhode Island School of Design?"

Tang Yaosen: "Yes, the English abbreviation is RISD. ”

Liang Zhen: "But the information compiled by the agent for me before didn't mention this school, and the ranking is not good, right?"

Tang Yaosen: "Yes, the top 200 may not be found in the comprehensive ranking, but it is not because this school is not good, RISD only offers art majors, and the ranking will only be displayed in the ranking of art colleges. Of course, I recommend you to strive for this school not only for its world ranking, but also because compared to other universities in the United States, RISD does not particularly value your undergraduate institution, and does not have strict requirements for GRE scores, so that you don't have to put too much effort into the test, of course, if your GRE score is beautiful, it can also be a plus. ”

Liang Zhen: "What about TOEFL?"

Tang Yaosen: "TOEFL score of 93 or above is OK, although it is not very low, but I believe you should be fine, and what RISD really values is the portfolio, in the review of the portfolio, RISD pays more attention to the production process, and encourages students to treat these creative processes as their own experimental thinking and artistic exploration practice, not just to complete the application, which I think is your advantage." ”

Liang Zhen will definitely not be able to fight for undergraduate colleges, and she is still a part-time college upgrade, such a big disadvantage will definitely be quite ugly when written on the resume, and it will not be able to compete with other famous full-time undergraduates.

In addition, although Liang Zhen has excellent academic grades in school, after all, he has been out for so many years, and if he takes the GRE, he needs to pick up the books again, which is much more difficult than that of normal undergraduates.

And her only strength is the work.

Tang Yaosen: "I have seen your graduation project, including some of the phased assignments you did when you were an undergraduate, as well as the recent projects you have done in Zhihe, and I think you should not have much problem in terms of works, and on this basis, you can learn from each other's strengths, and the acceptance rate of applying to Rhode Island will be relatively high." ”

In other words, he analyzed Liang Zhen's disadvantages and advantages, and then comprehensively weighed the application conditions of major universities, and finally selected a university with the highest success rate and the best qualifications.

"What's the matter, looking at me like this?" Tang Yaosen looked up and saw Liang Zhen looking down at him in a daze.

"It's nothing, I just want to say......" Liang Zhen quickly opened his eyes, "I just want to say thank you." ”

"Thank me, thank me for what?"

"Thank you for doing this for me. ”

In order to help Liang Zhen sort out these materials, he pushed a meeting in the afternoon and the evening entertainment, and was busy in the office alone for more than four hours, during which he called Professor Wang, and was "ridiculed" by his old friends, saying that after so many years, why was he still obsessed.

But Tang Yaosen didn't care about these.

"Thank you, all your hands!" he said with a flat face, pulling out another document from the bottom, "The application deadline for RISD is the end of January, and you must complete the TOEFL and GRE exams before that, and although your design is fine, it is still a little difficult to rely on yourself because of the tight schedule, so I have found an agency for you that can provide a full range of portfolio services, including full guidance on portfolio preparation, production, improvement, and packaging." ”

Liang Zhen took the information.

"Meeth?"

"Yes, I have nearly 20 years of experience in studying abroad, especially good at art further study guidance, there is contact information on it, you can ask him tomorrow. ”

"Okay. ”

"In addition, there is the issue of fees, RISD is a private art school, I have consulted, the tuition fee for one year plus basic room and board should be about 90,000 US dollars, plus the pre-exam tutoring fee, exam registration fee, production cost and exam round-trip fee, miscellaneous things add up to not a small amount, you ......" Tang Yaosen said This suddenly paused, and seemed to be a little eager to say something.

Liang Zhen tilted his head and smiled, "You're worried that I don't have any money." ”

Tang Yaosen touched his forehead and smiled bitterly, "Your identity is different now than before, and you should be able to pay for this tuition, but I still want to confirm it." ”

He knew that she was lonely, even if she was desperate and didn't even have money to buy food, she didn't talk to him easily, until the hospital urged for expenses, let alone surgery, and even the ward was not for Liang Bo, so she had to talk to him.

It's the same when she goes abroad to study this time, not to mention that she has to take Doudou alone.

"I believe that you should not lack money, but I am still ...... when I bring my children alone and am not familiar with life."

"Who says I'm not short of money?"

"Huh?"

"I sold both of my cars to make money for my tuition. ”

“......”

"Also, my current identity is no different, I still go to and from work, work to draw, pick up and drop off children. She was calm and told Tang Yaosen everything.

Tang Yaosen gritted his teeth after hearing this, "So you have been married for half a year, and you deserve the same crime?"

"Not really, it's certainly not as hard as it used to be, and besides, I'm not telling you this to win any sympathy, I just want to say that no matter where I go, who I'm with, or what kind of environment I'm in, I'll try to be myself, just ......"

"Just what?"

Liang Zhen touched his forehead and smiled, "I seem to be a little lost in the past six months, Ding Lijun and my friends around me say that I am no longer like the previous Liang Zhen, which I really regret." ”

"That's why you want to study abroad?"

"Sort of one of them. ”

Trapped in a muddy swamp all around, she had to find a way to get up as quickly as possible, or she was afraid that if she stayed in it for a while, she would be completely ruined.

"And I do want to go out and have a look. Liang Zhen propped his forehead and looked at the neon outside the window quietly, "If it wasn't for Huai Doudou, I would have finished college and studied full-time for four years, and I have better conditions to learn more things, but I still remember what you told me back then." ”

"What?"

"Regarding the architecture major, you said that China started late, but in fact, there is no architecture with a complete system in the real sense, so you suggested that I should go abroad to study for an undergraduate degree. ”

"But I remember you didn't agree at the time. ”

"Yes, the situation was different at that time, my brother was still there, his illness was repeated, I couldn't leave him alone in the country, but now it's different, everything aside, as long as Doudou is by my side, in fact, it's the same wherever I go. ”

When she said this, her eyes were fixed on the night outside the window, but when she said that she wanted to go out and see, there was no longing in her eyes, but a sense of disappointment and exhaustion.

"What about Zhong Yu, did you leave him here alone?"

The corners of Liang Zhen's mouth grinned, she wanted to say that I was going through a divorce with him, but the words came to her mouth and swallowed again.

"Have you ever heard a word?"

"What?"

"Disappointment is sometimes like a coin, and after a long time, you can always save enough to buy a ticket to leave. ”

......

Liang Zhen stayed in Tang Yaosen's office for more than an hour, and after talking, he simply ate some takeout to satisfy his hunger, and when he left, Tang Yaosen wanted to send her, but Liang Zhen refused.

"I've already delayed you all night, so let the driver send me." ”

Liang Zhen controlled the distance between the two very well, which sometimes made Tang Yaosen feel sad, but after thinking about it, this is her temper, she is not ambiguous when she should use you, and she is clear when she should clear up the relationship.

She's sensible to the point of being almost selfish, but she's addictive.

Isn't he just obsessed with such Liang Zhen?

"Okay, I'll ask Xiao Fan to send you back. Tang Yaosen called the driver.

Liang Zhen sorted out the stack of materials on the table and stuffed them into his bag, "I took it away, thank you!"

Tang Yaosen smiled bitterly, "Again!"

He watched Liang Zhen leave, the door closed, leaving a small half cup of coffee she had just drunk on the table, and reached out to touch the rim of the cup, the temperature was already cold.

Tang Yaosen subconsciously leaned back.

He told her many years ago that the world was very big, and she should go out to see, and if she wanted, he could give her a pair of wings, but in the end, she not only didn't fly out, but also fell directly to the bottom.

Fortunately, she never gave up, gritted her teeth all the way and climbed up, and she was glad that she still had the opportunity to send her fly.

Tang Yaosen rubbed his face with his hand, and the mobile phone on the table began to ring, and he took it and looked at Lawyer Ji's phone.
