Chapter Seventy-Four: Report on the Opening of the School
When the hostess returned, Locke discussed with the other party again, and finally set the price at $36.5 million, and the two parties signed a contract of intent, and then it was time for Dylan to be busy.
Such a large contract, and a lot of bonuses alone, is enough for Dylan to have enough action to get things done faster.
For this reason, Locke borrowed $40 million from the bank, using some stocks as collateral, and the whole process went extremely smoothly, and the account manager of Citibank also wished that Locke would borrow more.
Back at Bernand in the evening, Peggy talks about the day's experiences at dinner and describes the farm and the estate, and Ashley regrets not following along.
Fortunately, there is no chance in the future, and Locke promised to wait for the transfer of ownership of the farm and find an opportunity to go there for a few days together.
Then Ashley went on to play cards at Gabriel's house, and met Mr. Solis's mother, who had just come to visit yesterday.
"Mr. Solis's mother was a master poker player, but in a few moments, I lost more than three hundred dollars, which was terrible."
Ashley's still has a somewhat apprehensive look, she usually buys clothes and shopping with Locke's card, and there is really not much cash on hand, all of which Samantha gave her when she left.
Locke hadn't given her cash, and she had spent a lot of it herself these days, losing more than three hundred dollars in such a short time, which was a third of her remaining money.
I wondered if I would wait for Locke to be coquettish when I was alone at night, so that I could get some pocket money.
In the next few days, Locke processed some documents brought by Tang Wei and made arrangements for the investment of overseas companies and Sky Fund.
It's finally time to enroll at Princeton University.
Peggy's arrival was very welcome, and Dr. Gate, from the Department of Mathematics, was waiting with him in the principal's office.
In the original plot, Peggy would choose the physics department with Sheldon Jr., but perhaps under the influence of Locke, Peggy decided to choose the mathematics department early.
As agreed, both Peggy and Rock received a full scholarship, but Peggy also had additional living allowances that Locke did not have.
He didn't care about the little money, Dr. Gate's affection for both of them, and he and the principal touted the two, especially Peggy, who they described as valuable assets to the school.
The principal also said that a separate dormitory was prepared for Peggy, free of charge.
Peggy didn't say anything about not needing anything, and directly followed the key handed by the principal, and it was usually good to have a temporary place to rest at the school.
Leaving the principal's office, the two walked down the road inside the school, and Peggy said, "Do you want to go and see the dorm I got assigned now?" ”
"It's good to go and have a look, you can find someone to clean it up, and then see what needs to be added, and bring it with you next time you come." Locke didn't refuse either.
The two of them came to the dormitory building, and looking at the girls wearing bath towels walking in front of them, Locke suddenly regretted his original choice: "Co-ed dormitory, maybe I should really choose a place." ”
The two quickly found Peggy's dorm room and opened the door with the dorm key they had received.
It seems that the inside has been specially cleaned, and you can still smell the faint smell of disinfectant, which is not the same as the other dormitories at all, but hastily tidied up, and it seems that the principal is also attentive to Peggy.
"The dorm was very clean, and it looks like we just need to add a few things." Locke said.
"It's true that there is a shortage of bedding and some commonly used clothes, so I can bring them directly to school next time." Peggy looked at her new dorm room, feeling satisfied.
Locke stood in the doorway and glanced at the dormitory opposite, where there was a girl changing clothes, the door of the dormitory was ajar, and he could still see the looming scenery.
As soon as the girl looked up, she noticed Locke.
"Hey!" The other party did not close the door, let alone scold, but opened the half-hidden door and greeted Locke, allowing Locke to enjoy the scenery that can only be seen on the beach.
"Hi Rock Lee." Facing each other's eyes, Locke introduced himself with a smile: "Freshman, math department." ”
Elizabeth Plimpton, senior, Department of Physics. The other person introduced himself like this, and then asked, "Do you live on the other side?" ”
If Locke remembers correctly, the Elizabeth Plinton in front of him seems to be the future female doctor of physics.
Leonard had a night and a morning of fun with her, plus the 'unaffordable' payout, plus Howard, the delivery man, and Rajesh, the landlord.
"Ah, this is my friend's dorm ......" Locke replied as he recalled the plot.
"Locke?" At this time, Peggy, who had finished checking the private bathroom, came to the door.
"She's your friend." Elizabeth looked at Locke with some strange looks.
"Peggy Swanson, like me, is in the math department, and her parents are my friends, so I asked me to take care of her more at school."
Locke said, "This is Elizabeth, living in the dormitory opposite. ”
Elizabeth looked at Peggy carefully, and then remembered that she had heard a few days ago that there would be two super geniuses who were only eleven years old in the school, and Peggy was obviously one of them.
She was able to understand the existence of geniuses, because she was one of them, she went to college at the age of fifteen, studied for two years, and was now ready to graduate early for a master's degree.
But Peggy's age in front of her is really a little beyond her imagination.
Peggy doesn't seem to have a good impression of Elizabeth, and Elizabeth doesn't seem interested in Peggy, and after saying hello, Elizabeth closes the door to the dorm room.
"Wow." At this time, there was an exclamation from the side.
Locke turned his head and saw a handsome white boy who said to Locke, "It's a beautiful view, isn't it?" ”
"Uh-huh." Locke shrugged his shoulders.
"I'm Ben Triss, a freshman in biology." The other party took the initiative to extend his hand.
"Rock Lee, freshman math department." Locke smiled and said, "Are you interested in the biology department?" ”
"I want to go to medical school." The other person said, "I'm interested in medicine. ”
Locke nodded clearly, I don't know how many students in the United States have been working hard to become doctors since middle school early.
There is no medical bachelor's degree in the United States, and if you want to become a doctor, you need to apply for medical school after graduating from university, and studying related majors during college also has an advantage when applying for the exam.
As for the so-called interest in medicine, in fact, most of them are interested in money.
After all, persuading people to study medicine is thundering, and if it weren't for money, not many people would be interested in studying medicine through hard work.
After the two of them talked a few words, two more people, one fat and one thin, came out of the dormitory behind him, and they looked like typical otaku at first glance and expressions.
The fat man had some self-acquaintance and greeted Locke, "I'm Michael Duncan, this is Ken Jordan, and all three of us are good friends." ”
"You've known each other before? Looks like you're lucky to be together. Locke said with a smile.
"Kenm found someone to change dorms." Fat Michael smiled and said, "Do you want to go out and walk around the campus together, there are a lot of beautiful women in the school~"
Michael said as he squeezed his eyebrows, for some otaku, they are often able to talk eloquently in the face of the same sex, but in front of beautiful women, they are easy to be distracted for a long time.
"I'd love to say yes, but I have a few things." Locke grabbed Peggy's hand, "Next time, let's get a chance." ”
"No problem." Michael glanced at Peggy, who had already gotten the information from his senior, and he recognized the genius girl, but it wasn't in his area of concern.
Smiling and patting Locke on the shoulder, Michael squeezed his eyebrows at Locke: "If you are interested, you can come to me, I know a lot of 'information'." ”
"Thank you." Locke smiled slightly: "But no need." ”
"Don't be embarrassed." A few people walked outside, and Michael continued: "You must know that college is a battlefield, and it has always been quick and slow. ”
"yes." The thin man Kam interjected at this time: "If you start late, the high-quality resources will be snatched away by others." ”
The corners of Locke's mouth twitched, and he really wanted to say that he really didn't need to study those materials, just looking at the charm value on the system panel, he should be worried about how to refuse.
But he also knows that he can't show off too much, otherwise he doesn't know how they will react, and maybe the good impression brought by the charm value at the beginning will be quickly reversed.
For people like Locke who have a rich record, the attitude of otaku has always been very complicated, both envious and jealous, especially there is no shortage of people who are jealous and even jealous.
"Tomorrow we can find a time to make an appointment, college is a new beginning, and we will definitely be able to have a happy college life." Michael announced with a smile.
Kenm nodded, and Locke could only smile and say nothing, and went downstairs to the dormitory, pulling Peggy to say goodbye to them.
