Chapter 748 Repayment of Debt
Niu Xiaoqiang thought about his words, and then said: "If you don't like Aunt Liu and her mother, you can see them less in the future, but you still have to care about Uncle Zhang, although he didn't care enough for you before. But there is no way to do it, he is the head of the family after all, he needs to work hard to earn money to support his family, I hope you will be considerate of him."

Zhang Xiaolan nodded slightly: "If you told me these words in the past, I probably wouldn't listen to them. Since I went abroad to study, I have only experienced the hardships of living alone. My dad is really not easy. If it weren't for him, I would It is also impossible to have the opportunity to study abroad.”

When Zhang Xiaolan said this, she changed the subject and asked, "My dad must have endured a lot of financial pressure to help Liu Xue study abroad this time, right?"

Niu Xiaoqiang chuckled: "With my help, Uncle Zhang is fine, so you don't have to worry too much."

Zhang Xiaolan stared at Niu Xiaoqiang: "Did you lend money to my stepmother?"

Niu Xiaoqiang hummed: "I only borrowed money for Uncle Zhang's sake."

Zhang Xiaolan said angrily: "Liu Huiming knew that studying abroad would cost a lot of money, but she still sent her daughter abroad regardless. She really didn't think about my father at all. If her daughter's grades are very good, that's fine, but her daughter It’s not a learning material at all, it really pissed me off!”

On this matter, Niu Xiaoqiang agreed with Zhang Xiaolan.Liu Xue was indeed not that material, and was far from the standards of international students.Liu Hui insisted on sending Liu Xue abroad, just as Zhang Xiaolan said, she really didn't think about Zhang Guangmao.

But this is someone's housework, and Niu Xiaoqiang shouldn't get involved too deeply, lest Liu Hui find out and offend others for no reason.

When he was thinking about how to interface, Zhang Xiaolan asked, "Which school does Liu Xue study in?"

"The school she studied abroad is Murphys University."

"Is there Murphys University in Boston? How come I've never heard of it?"

"This is a third-rate university. It's not surprising that you haven't heard of it. Liu Xue is a student of literature and art. She can only get a diploma from a third-rate university. A good university will not want her at all."

Zhang Xiaolan snorted coldly with disdain: "My dad is really, why waste money for this kind of person?"

Niu Xiaoqiang accompanied him with a smiling face: "Okay, okay, don't talk about these disappointing topics, you should give me a detailed introduction to the social situation in the United States, so that I can have a clear idea."

Zhang Xiaolan nodded, and chatted with Niu Xiaoqiang a lot about the situation in the United States that she knew. Niu Xiaoqiang listened carefully while eating.

After lunch, the two rode to the restaurant where Zhang Xiaolan worked.This is a western restaurant, decorated in a very elegant style, it looks quite classy.

When the manager of the restaurant saw Zhang Xiaolan coming, he couldn't help showing curiosity: "Zhang, didn't you come to work at night? It's still afternoon, why did you come here?"

Zhang Xiaolan took out [-] U.S. dollars: "I'm here to repay the debt, please tell the boss that I'm going to pay him the compensation in one lump sum."

The manager is a white man in his early 30s. He was a little surprised when he heard this remark: "Where did you get the money?"

Zhang Xiaolan smiled and looked at Niu Xiaoqiang standing behind her: "My friend lent it to me."

The manager looked at Niu Xiaoqiang a few times, and found that Niu Xiaoqiang was dressed in ordinary clothes and did not look like a rich man, so he couldn't help being a little puzzled.But he didn't like to ask too much, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call the boss right now."

Without much effort, the manager came back with a piece of paper: "This is the agreement faxed by the boss. He has already signed it. You sign your name, and after paying the money, it will be settled."

Zhang Xiaolan seemed very cautious, fearing that there might be any clauses in the agreement that would be unfavorable to her, she checked it carefully before signing.

After dealing with the debt, Zhang Xiaolan and Niu Xiaoqiang left together.Before leaving, she told the manager that she would not come to work again. The manager felt sorry for this and wished Zhang Xiaolan good luck.

The two walked out of the restaurant and rode their bicycles back to school.

Zhang Xiaolan asked in the car: "Xiaoqiang, where are you staying now?"

"I'm staying at Professor Watson's house for the time being. As for where I will live in the future, I haven't made up my mind yet."

"MIT has a student dormitory, why don't you live in the dormitory?"

Niu Xiaoqiang really doesn't want to live in the dormitory, not because he doesn't like the living conditions of the dormitory, but because he needs a relatively private environment to do his private affairs.

To be honest, Niu Xiaoqiang's first purpose in coming to the United States is to earn money, and going to school is just incidental. If he lives together with many classmates, it will inevitably be inconvenient to operate.

"I prefer to be clean, and it's better to live alone."

"I happen to know a friend who is a housing agency. If necessary, I can ask her to help you rent a house."

Niu Xiaoqiang immediately became interested: "This relationship is good, why don't you call her now to see if there is any suitable housing."

Zhang Xiaolan hummed: "Stop when you see a public phone booth, and I'll call her."

The two rode forward for less than 5 minutes before they encountered a telephone booth.After making the phone call, Zhang Xiaolan ordered: "Let's wait for her at the bridge of the Charles River. She happened to be negotiating business with clients nearby."

Niu Xiaoqiang agreed, and rode his bicycle straight forward.

The Charles River runs through the city. On this side of the river is downtown Boston, and on the other side of the river is the downtown area of ​​Boston and Cambridge.Cambridge is under the jurisdiction of Boston and has nothing to do with Cambridge, England.

Niu Xiaoqiang still has [-] US dollars left on him, which is probably enough to rent a house.When he arrived at the meeting place, he saw a white woman with blonde hair and blue eyes.

Zhang Xiaolan introduced this friend who was a real estate agency on the way. According to Zhang Xiaolan, this friend often went to the western restaurant where Zhang Xiaolan worked to discuss business with clients, and they became acquainted over time.This young Caucasian woman has a cheerful personality and is very interested in Chinese culture, so the two hit it off.

After the two parties met, Zhang Xiaolan, the middleman, immediately introduced: "Caroline, this is Niu Xiaoqiang, he is my fellow countryman, and he is studying at MIT."

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and stretched out his right hand: "Hello, Miss Caroline."

Caroline was tall and slender, with a white shirt on her upper body and a short black skirt on her lower body, she was dressed very smartly.

She reached out to shake hands with Niu Xiaoqiang enthusiastically, and praised: "Hello, Mr. Niu, you are really amazing, and you are studying at MIT."

Niu Xiaoqiang has already learned from Zhang Xiaolan that Caroline studied in the Law Department of Boston University, and Zhang Xiaolan is considered an alumni. She is about to graduate from college and is now working as an intern.
