Chapter 32 Car Rental Dealers
The University of Pennsylvania, one of the eight Ivy League schools, the fourth-oldest institution of higher education in the United States, and the first university in the truly modern sense of the United States, was founded in 1740. Franklin, the scientist who made lightning bolts with a kite tied to a key, was the founder of the school.
Most of the students who can be admitted to such a university are the best in their studies, so after Sam got the admission letter, his father can be said to be pleasantly surprised, which gave him the capital to brag about with his neighbors.
Of course, behind the honor is the expensive tuition, $40,000 a year, which makes Sam's father a little distressed, but he knows very well that his son has a bright future, although he got involved with aliens in high school, but he is also a serious college student.
Being admitted to the University of Pennsylvania is also something that Sam is proud of, so he is very enthusiastic and wants to show himself in front of Zhang Yang.
"Zhang Yang, you see, this is Benjamin. A bronze statue of Benjamin Franklin, the founder of the school, who was a great scientist and politician. ”
Upon arriving at the school, Sam and Zhang Yang get out of the car, and Bumblebee drives back to Michaela on her own, with shards in her hands that could attract the attention of the Decepticons at any moment.
"It looks like it's a nice place to live."
Zhang Yang looked at the elegant surroundings, the manicured lawn, the towering trees with decades of history, and the Western-style buildings dominated by white and gray, it seemed that it was not time for class, and some students were walking in twos and threes, many with textbooks in their hands.
"Of course, the school has a long history of 262 years, and when my mother sent me to school, she thought she was at Hogwarts."
Sam didn't care if he could understand "Hogwarts". Happily brought Zhang Yang into the school, the school's management was very loose, Zhang Yang registered at the door and walked in.
"I'll take you to the dormitory, although my roommate has a brain disease, but he has figured out the situation of the houses around the school, I can help you find the cheapest one."
Sam squeezed his eyes, walked through the British building in front of him, and saw a huge school emblem in front of him, and then led by Sam, he came to the location of the dormitory.
After entering the dormitory. There is a cave inside, full of all kinds of magical-style decorations, which will indeed make people mistakenly think that they have come to Hogwarts, of course, at the moment, it attracts the attention of Zhang Zhang. It wasn't these magic decorations, but a white chick with a bath towel walking past in front of me.
"Isn't this a boys' dormitory? Why are there girls? ”
Zhang Yang raised his own questions. Soon. Before Sam could answer, Zhang Yang saw a group of girls coming out of a dormitory, dressed up one by one, as if he heard Zhang Yang's words, and a blonde chick blinked her blue eyes.
"Because it's a co-ed place, little brother."
He was called his little brother. Zhang Yang didn't hear it, but Sam couldn't help but sneer twice next to him, obviously knowing that this woman likes to play tricks on people.
"I'm not small at all."
Zhang Yang met the blonde chick's gaze without fear, and a smile flashed in the other party's eyes. Then he stepped forward and patted Sam on the shoulder.
"Sam, your friend is interesting."
"Sister Ashley, don't tease my friend, it's the first time he's here."
Sam honestly confessed, and then the girl named Ashley raised her chin demonstratively and went out with a group of her little sisters.
"Are all universities in the United States so open? Mixed sex? ”
Zhang Yang looked at Sam and asked, Sam looked around, and then whispered in Zhang Yang's ear: "No, there are two IT masters in our dormitory, they hacked into the school's management system, modified the accommodation allocation of new students, and assigned all the beauties to our dormitory." ”
"Wow."
Zhang Yang has a look that I understand.
Zhang Yang, who grew up in China, was indeed a little curious when he encountered a co-ed dormitory for the first time, this is a university, and the people living in it are all adults, and it is young men and women who have nowhere to vent their youthful vitality, and it is easy to get off the hook.
Zhang Yang looked at a coolly dressed chick, ignoring his two big men walking directly, and couldn't help pinching his chin and asking.
"Didn't the school find out that the system had been hacked, they should have the original allocation plan?"
"It's useless, unless the school itself admits that its system has been hacked, which is simply too embarrassing, so the school can only honestly admit this result, of course, this is not the first time this kind of thing has been done, every year new students will have a master to do this."
Sam honestly admits that the United States is much more open than China, and because of the problem of the education model, most of these American young people are unruly, always eager to try, many people are already a computer master before going to college, although it is the University of Pennsylvania, but the system is still a system, and there will always be someone to break it.
After a long time, the leaders of the school were too lazy to care, and directly pushed the boat down the river, which was just used to test the computer level of the current students, and was able to hack into the management system of the University of Pennsylvania, which obviously had good technical strength.
This is the American way of thinking.
Sam took Zhang Yang to his dormitory, and after closing the door, he got rid of the voice of the warbler Yanyan in the corridor, and Zhang Yang exhaled, it is also a big test to live with these girls.
"Leo, Leo! I've got something to ask you for! ”
Sam shouted, and soon a young man with black curly hair ran out of the suite inside.
"What's the matter with me, I'm studying the news that happened in Boston yesterday, and I can't let the machine take the lead."
Zhang Yang and Leo looked at each other, Zhang Yang knew that this Leo was the guy with Sam in the movie, timid as a mouse, and some people avoided him, but now it seems that this guy has gotten along well with Sam, at least for now.
"This is a friend of mine who wants to rent a house near the school, didn't you say you already know the situation of the houses around you, do me a favor."
"Your friend? That's no problem, follow me, I have all the rental prices of all the houses in my computer, you can take your pick! ”
This guy walked into the suite of the dormitory with Zhang Yang, where there were two desktop computers and a laptop, surrounded by photos of all kinds of beautiful women, standard tech nerds.
"Tiramisu Avenue at the entrance of the school, there is an independent two-story small western-style building for rent, the rent is the basic price, 2,000 US dollars a month, water and electricity are free, the furniture inside is very complete, and the monthly rent is paid once a month."
Soon, with the help of Leo and Sam, Zhang Yang finalized the problem of his residence, Leo contacted the owner of the house who was at home by phone, and went directly to see the house, anyway, it was only a temporary stay for a few days, Zhang Yang didn't care, so he happily paid a month's rent and got the key to the house.
I have to say that it is indeed very convenient to have acquaintances, if it is a stranger to rent, the price of this house is three thousand two hundred dollars, with Leo's guarantee, these things are suddenly exempted, it is hard to imagine that Leo is a student who has just entered school for three days, and he is already very familiar with the landlord.
"How's that, do you adore me?"
Leo triumphantly waited for Sam's worship, but was directly ignored by Zhang Yang and Sam, and could only mumble to help Zhang Yang clean up the house.
At noon, Zhang Yang took the initiative to treat himself to a meal at a Chinese restaurant near the school, which was regarded as a reward for Leo's help.
"We have a class in the afternoon, what are you going to do?"
Sam and Zhang Yang separated at the school gate and asked, Zhang Yang thought about it, he might have to stay here for a few days, and he needed to find a car to get around, and Bumblebee was no longer here, so he had to rent a car first.
"I'm going to rent a car, otherwise it's very inconvenient to travel."
Speaking of renting a car, Sam obviously remembered Bumblebee, his expression was a little depressed, and Leo handed Zhang Yang a business card, which was the phone number of a car rental agency near the school.
"Take this business card to rent a car, they will give it a discount, this is the discount card I specially ran to queue up to get."
Zhang Yang wanted to say that he still had more than 100,000 US dollars on him, and he didn't miss the money at all, but he didn't refuse, but took it happily.
After saying goodbye to the two, Zhang Yang took a taxi to this car rental shop called Jessico, the owner is a black man with a big belly, and the car rental shop has new and used cars, and also sells second-hand cars.
This boss has a good eye, the famous University of Pennsylvania in Fujin City, when these students go out collectively, they often come to him to rent a car to go out to play, so they also make a lot of money.
"Look at this! This is a Ford hatchback, eighty percent new, 20 per day if rented, and you will pay for the fuel yourself. ”
The boss slammed a light blue Ford sedan, and looked at the dust on the roof with twitching at the corners of his mouth, obviously he hadn't cleaned it for a long time, but the price was really not expensive, only $600 a month.
"Don't worry, I'll look at something else."
Zhang Yang pushed off the Ford without a trace, and then went to see other cars, the car dealership specially chartered a parking lot, and surrounded it with barbed wire, it was very wide, Zhang Yang turned around, there were more than 20 cars, obviously the boss's principal is very sufficient, if so many cars can't be rented, I'm afraid they will soon go bankrupt.
Just as Zhang Yang shook his head and left a black Volkswagen, the corner of his eye twitched, and in front of the windshield of this black Volkswagen, a small metal decoration was fluttering in the wind, which looked like a simple line of the shape of a human face with a sharp chin.
Zhang Yang's gaze suddenly froze on the pattern, and he couldn't help but set off a wave in his heart.
"It's ...... Decepticons!! (To be continued......)
