Chapter 17 Modern Study Tour, Staying in a Villa
Under the witness of Uncle Guan, Lin Yi and the Department of Chemistry of HKU signed a contract to commission the invention. The contract is very standardized, and you can rest assured.
After doing this, Uncle Guan was cheeky and mentioned the matter of going to school with his old friend.
After learning about the situation, Professor Zhang shook his head regretfully: "The Hong Kong government vigorously promotes English teaching, and even Chinese universities in Hong Kong use English in half of their courses. Your level, it is difficult to pass the exam. β
Lin Yi's heart is not so fragile. And if you want to travel the business sea, it is still necessary to supplement some economic and financial knowledge. So Uncle Guan's favor, he didn't want to waste it: "In ancient times, you could study abroad, I want to get an audit certificate, I don't know if it's okay?"
Professor Zhang patted his chest and made a promise happily: "This is okay, but it will have to wait until after the start of school! There is still most of the summer vacation left, and you just take the opportunity to tutor." Otherwise, you won't understand the class, so don't blame me then. β
After Lin Yi thanked him, he suddenly remembered that Tai O was inaccessible, so he asked where there was a real estate agent.
Hearing that he was going to rent a house, Uncle Guan interjected and asked his old comrades-in-arms: "Didn't that guy Black Bear move to the United States?
Professor Zhang replied casually: "He wants to ask me to sell it, but now the market is not good, and no one is willing to take over for a while." β
Uncle Guan took over the conversation: "The house is very good, and the furniture is complete. If it is left vacant for a long time, I am afraid that it will attract thieves. The escort team is unreliable, I think I'll rent it to Yi Tsai for the time being, don't let people get angry. β
Lin Yi's thought flashed, could it be that he had been encircled? First there was scientific research expenditure, and then there was a house to rent, so he was busy asking how much it was! When he heard that the monthly rent was only 1,000 and that he did not need to pay rent once a month, he let go of his uneasiness.
Seeing Lin Yi nodding, Professor Zhang led the way and went to see the house together. The original owner's surname is Xiong, and he is also a professor at the University of Hong Kong, so he lives next to the school. It only takes 10 minutes to walk, so it will be very convenient to listen to the lectures later.
It is a middle class villa and the surroundings are also very peaceful. There is a small garden in the yard, and the flower pond is full of flowers, and it seems that the previous owner has not been gone for long.
With double doors and floor-to-ceiling windows, the heat will not be unbearable! The large living room on the first floor and the four bedrooms on the second floor are really greedy for Lin Yi! Not only the furniture, telephone, TV, and video recorder are also available, and you can move in with your bag.
An employee of Xiaoxin Food Company rents a 20-square-meter house for 500 yuan. There are more than 200 square meters here, and the monthly rent is only 1,000 yuan, which is really cost-effective!
However, Professor Zhang kindly reminded: "It's just a little bad, if the house is sold, I'm afraid you have to move out." β
Lin Yi ignored it, such a good house, let's live in it first and enjoy it!
I got the door key, and I had to go back to Tai O. Running away without making a noise is not Lin Yi's style.
Whether it was invention or schooling, Uncle Guan helped a lot! So on the Central Wharf, Lin Yi first sent the other party on the boat.
Back at the big house, after eating, Lin Yi announced, "I'm going to move to the city." β
Xiang Yanghua asked anxiously: "Isn't it good to live in Tai O, why do you want to move to the city?"
"It's very nice here, it feels like home!" Lin Yi's smile came from the bottom of his heart.
There are so many problems together, even if he is an adult man, he will also be worried.
Although the big house is not home, these people in front of them give Lin Yi the feeling of home. The concern in the girl's tone made him even more excited! This time it was not for beauty, but for the true feelings revealed.
As if in retrospect, he spoke very slowly: "There are too many things recently, and I need to go to the city to do it." It's remote, it's very inaccessible, and it's a waste of time on the road. β
At this time, the brother-in-law answered: "I can see it, Yi Zai has a lot of ideas." It's easy to move to the city, so it's easy to do whatever you do. β
The words of the owner of the big house were full of admiration, not to flatter people. So when Lin Yi heard this, he was even more reluctant to come here.
He touched his nose and made a reluctant request: "Uncle Guan has a friend who is a professor at the university, and the admission has been decided." So, Xiang Sunflower and Xiang Dafang, I want to take them with me!"
Hearing this, the eldest sister was anxious: "How can this work?
Listening to the tone of the eldest sister, he was not suspicious of Lin Yi, so he was very ironing in his heart.
Visiting Lantau Island today, Uncle Xiang is also a companion, and he immediately criticized his eldest daughter: "Long hair and short knowledge! What a rare opportunity! Yi Tsai has this heart, Brother Guan has made great efforts, don't go to be sorry for people!"
Early the next morning, the three of them were ready to go. The little monk's heart has been opened, and the wind and clouds have recovered. And Sunflower's mood is written on her face. There is both attachment to relatives and a yearning for school.
Lin Yi hurriedly comforted her: "It's not that I won't come back, it's just an hour's boat ride!"
Sail to the uncle, send them to Hong Kong Island, and go back when they turn around. As a girl's father, this is too thorough!
Although this trust touched Lin Yi very much, he still grabbed it: "You also have to go over, you have to know where we live, and you can contact us if you have something!"
Lin Yi led the way, and everyone came to the new address. After seeing this luxurious mansion, the young people were very happy, but Uncle Xiang was a little frightened: "Live here, it's so expensive!"
Lin Yi said the price with a smile, and the uncle patted his chest: "I really didn't expect that such a big house would be so cheap!
Lin Yi nodded: "Next time we meet, I will definitely thank them." β
These words are affectionate and righteous, and Uncle Xiang listens to them, and Lian Kua Lin Yi is sensible.
There was a turntable phone in the living room, Lin Yi picked up the microphone, and the sound was busy inside. It seems that there is no downtime, and there are more aspects now. Lin Yi copied down the number, wrote down the address, and handed it to Uncle Xiang. However, in Tai O, it is not very convenient, and you need to contact through the radio.
Seeing off her father, the girl hurriedly turned on the color TV. This big talking box, she is just the second contact, so she is naturally interested in watching it.
Dafang is still young, and of course he can't resist the temptation.
As for Lin Yi, I can't watch the show, and I can't play entertainment! On such a boring day, if you don't find something to do, to be honest, it's really hard!
He opened the newspaper and saw an important piece of international news: Since the withdrawal of US troops from Vietnam, the United States has begun a strategy of dΓ©tente in order to improve US-Soviet relations and US-China relations. George W. Bush, the U.S. ambassador to China, was recalled to China and appointed director of the CIA.
Bush, the future president of the United States? As for which president, Lin Yi still can't remember. There is no urgency in this matter, and it will be okay to talk about it later.
