Chapter 169 The so-called general's demeanor
Qiao Lu completed the discharge procedures as quickly as possible, she came to Xu Wei's rented apartment, and as soon as she opened the door, she smelled a strong smell of tobacco and alcohol. Xu Wei was lying on the ground, his beard unshaven and haggard.
Qiao Lu silently recited a hundred times, don't get angry, don't get angry. She covered Xu Wei with a small blanket, and then cleaned up lightly. He must have had a hard stomach after drinking so much wine last night. Qiao Lu boiled hot water, brewed him a cup of honey grapefruit tea, and boiled him a bowl of millet pumpkin porridge.
The fragrance of food finally woke Xu Wei up, and he came to the kitchen wrapped in a blanket, but he stood outside the door, hanging his head and not daring to go in, like a child who made a mistake.
"Still not coming?"
"Sister, you know everything?"
"If you don't eat it, it's cold!"
"You know, why don't you beat me up and don't talk about me?"
"If I don't eat it, I'll feed it to the dogs. ”
Xu Wei hurriedly sat down and poured the honey grapefruit tea down, and suddenly his body and mind were refreshed, and the turbidity in his body was washed away.
"A dignified man, you have to be decent in everything. If Qiao Nan had been a little frustrated and was lying like you, he would have been kicked to death by my father. ”
Xu Wei patted his cheek and didn't forget to say a little: "Uncle Qiao is really strict, and he is especially ruthless to Qiao Nan." No wonder he doesn't want to stay at home and often comes to my house for refuge. ”
Qiao Lu chopped the kitchen knife: "If you still want to have a relationship with me, my dad will ask you like that, do you dare to resist?"
"No, no, no, my father-in-law's teachings, I will accept them without any doubt!"
Qiao Lu sat down opposite him and asked, "What did the teacher from the International Office say to you yesterday?"
"I don't know which slut is jealous of me making money and telling me all about my purchases. Holy...... , no, it's so damnable!"
"What about you, did you do anything wrong yourself?"
“……”
"What did the international teacher say?"
"They said they had to contact the immigration authorities when it came to taxes, because they couldn't take on the responsibility. I inquired about what the consequences would be, and the teacher said that the worst would be expulsion from the school, and the worst would be jail. In the past, there was an international student who mailed things to China, but the things he sent could only be sold in the United States, and then he was sentenced. The more I listened, the more scared I became, wondering if I would be sentenced as well......"
Qiao Lu frowned, and her fingers tapped back and forth on the table: "Mr. Xu called me just now, and your goods have also been checked in China." The two sides checked together, and I think this matter was premeditated, and it was aimed at you. The person who complains is hateful, but have you ever thought about what mistakes you made?"
Xu Wei hung his head frustratedly: "Just listen to your words, don't take risks to make money, don't make money in front of outsiders, so as not to make others red." ”
Most of the international students are brushing dishes and doing hard work that others are unwilling to do, but they may not earn as much as you can earn in two hours after working hard for a day...... If you show off to me, I'm also red-eyed, and I want to get you down!"
"I scolded them all night, but there was nothing else I could do...... When I applied for graduate school in the United States, my parents were so happy that they not only invited the neighbors to dinner, but my mother also gave me a free night for the night. Alas, if I really get dropped out of school, I won't be laughed at when I go back? It's still good to drop out, but if I have to go to jail, what will my parents do?" Xu Wei rubbed his hair in annoyance, regretting that he had not done it at the beginning.
Qiao Lu found him a new set of clothes, handed him a towel and a razor: "Clean yourself up, I'll accompany you to school." ”
Xu Wei heard what he said and obediently did so. He cleaned himself up and regained a bit of the spirit of a handsome young man. Qiao Lu also helped him tie his tie and said, "Don't be afraid, take out the courage to rush into the sea of fire that day!"
Qiao Lu is as stable as Mount Tai, and with her, there is a Dinghai God Needle. Xu Wei really cheered up, shook Qiao Lu's hand, and the two drove to Xu Wei's school.
The teacher in charge of international students at Xu Wei School is called Jon, a middle-aged man of about thirty-five years old. He has been doing management work all year round, and has developed a rigorous temperament, and even a little unsmiling.
As soon as Jon saw Xu Wei, he said indifferently: "I told you what I should tell you, I told you yesterday, even if you beg me again, nothing will change." ”
Xu Wei was anxious, and Qiao Lu gently squeezed his hand, signaling him not to be impulsive. She smiled and said to Jon, "Sir, we are sincere in our mistakes. Please also contact the immigration department, we would like to admit your mistake. ”
Qiao Lu's English is very fluent, which surprised the other party, and what is even more memorable is her calm and calm bearing.
Jon finished his phone call and said, "The immigration guys are coming at two o'clock in the afternoon, so you should come back in the afternoon." ”
"Okay, thank you. ”
The two went to lunch, Xu Wei couldn't swallow, and Qiao Lu was still very calm. In fact, she also remembered the situation in the research room in her heart, but compared to others, she cared more about Xu Wei's safety.
"The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. My grandmother often said that before the big event comes, you can eat and sleep normally, then this person is the person who really has the demeanor of a general!"
Xu Wei smiled reluctantly: "I just want to be a businessman, how can I talk about the demeanor of a general?"
"If you want to achieve great things, you have to have the demeanor of a general. Eat quickly, and when you're full, you have the strength to fight!"
At two o'clock in the afternoon, in a small conference room of H Business School, Xu Wei and Qiao Lu sat together, and Jon and two immigration staff sat opposite them. Encouraged by Qiao Lu, although Xu Wei was ashamed, he sat up straight and was no longer as decadent as before.
Jon gave a brief introduction to Xu Wei's situation, and the two staff members of the immigration bureau looked solemn. Qiao Lu observed it for a moment and said, "It's all my fault...... My boyfriend is actually to blame me for getting this far. ”
Everyone was slightly surprised, Qiao Lu put the Chanel bought by Xu Wei on the table, and said, "It's my vanity that makes me have to ask my boyfriend to buy me a luxury bag." But I forgot that he was not a local tyrant, just an ordinary international student. In order to satisfy my vanity, he can only find various channels to make money. He had just been here for half a year and did not understand the laws of the United States, so he made such a mistake. After listening to him last night, I felt very uncomfortable, and I felt that it was my greed that caused his big mistake. ”
Qiao Lu wiped away her tears and said to Jon, "Mr. Jon, please don't fire my boyfriend, he is a very smart man. In the three years of high school, he spent two and a half years in the middle of high school, and only in the last half of the year, he was admitted to a good university, and before coming to the United States, his English was very poor, but in order to be with me, he scored 110 on the TOEFL. So, although his grades in the first semester were poor, in time, he will definitely become an honor student. He showed a great talent for business in college, and he is now studying business, don't you business schools value this ability? So, as long as you give him another chance, whether it is academically or practically, he will become very good, and you will definitely not be disappointed. ”
The Americans were once again impressed by Qiao Lu's eloquence, and Xu Wei was even more moved by the fact that Qiao Lu knew himself so well...... It turns out that I still have so many shining points.
Jon was lost in thought, and Jolu took out a passbook from the Chanel and said, "I'm so sorry for my boyfriend's trouble. We made a list at home, and the total amount of things he sent to China did not exceed $30,000, and according to the 10 percent surtax, the tax amount should not exceed $3,000. There are about 4,000 deposits in this passbook, and we will fully cooperate with your investigation, and if the money is not enough, I will raise money again. In addition, I think it is very meaningful for you to use this as a starting point to popularize legal knowledge among international students. ”
Qiao Lu's words were sincere, and several Americans discussed it in a low voice, but they did not reach an agreement. Xu Wei was very apprehensive and said rashly: "I won't make any more mistakes, I want to cherish the opportunity here." Ladies and gentlemen, please give me a chance to stay with my girlfriend and let her see me stronger! We are going to get engaged this summer, please don't break us up. ”
Xu Wei's English was not so fluent, and when he was excited, he was even more stumbling, but this showed his sincerity even more. A few more whispers of discussion before Jon said, "I can take back the expulsion for the time being, but there are two preconditions. First, you need to take care of all the tax issues and make sure you don't do it again. Second, the grade below C in the next semester cannot appear on the transcript for the next semester. We are a business school with a strong reputation, and we will not stay here for students who have too poor grades. ”
Qiao Lu and Xu Wei were relieved, looked at each other and smiled, and clenched their hands under the table. When the meeting ended, the female official joked with Qiao Lu: "I feel like you're lying, how can a girl like you encourage her boyfriend to buy luxury goods?"
Xu Wei was frightened, for fear that they would regret it. And Qiao Lu smiled slightly and said: "Madam, as long as you are a person, you will have vanity, and as long as you are a woman, you will not resist luxury." As an ordinary woman, I also make mistakes. ”
"But your words and deeds tell me that you are not that kind of person. ”
Qiao Lu smiled slyly: "That's not for sure." ”
On the way home, Xu Wei was silent and walked forward with his head buried. Qiao Lu couldn't catch up with him, and he was so tired and out of breath that he stopped. Qiao Lu asked him what he was crazy about, and he snorted: "Sister, I have seen your general's demeanor, and now I am deeply reflecting." ”
"Xu Wei ......"
"Huh?"
"Actually, when you rushed into the sea of fire to save us, you were very general. If it weren't for you, Doudou and I would probably have died inside. ”
"What's there, manly man, how can you see death and not save it?"
Qiao Lu smiled: "But not everyone will think like you. If anything happens in the future, just think about that night, you even went to the sea of fire, what else can't you do?"
"Sister, I remember. Xu Wei hugged her affectionately. If there was no Qiao Lu, he might have died in a drunken dream, or he might have fled, in short, he would have made a big mistake. How could such a petite girl be so calm and calm to fight against the wind, frost, rain and snow of the world? But whenever she thinks of her upbringing, and remembers the ridicule and contempt she once received, Xu Wei can understand her wisdom and strength.
"Sister, what would I have become without you?"
He kissed her on the forehead affectionately, and Qiao Lu laughed and scolded him a few times. Xu Wei hugged her tighter: "Sister, this is the last time you will worry about it, and you will ...... in the future I'll protect you. I figured it out, the more they don't like me, the more I want to make the business prosperous and let them all work for me!"
"Okay!"
"Let's go back and get engaged during the summer vacation!"
"I have to wait for the Olympics to end, and wait for Qiao Nan to go home. ”
"Oooh, I almost forgot. ”
"It's not easy for Qiao Nan, when we are most relaxed, he is the most nervous, and this year there are Olympic Games, and their task is even more difficult...... So, wait for him, he'll be able to take a vacation when the Olympics are over...... He had to be there when I got engaged. ”
