Dragon Raja: Oh no! Lu Mingfei has been diagnosed with depression!
Chapter 18 I am all alone and helpless...
Lu Mingfei readily accepted Lao Tang's self-recommendation, even though he had previously taken the TOEFL with the English fanatic in his class and scored quite well.
But he had seen a survey that said the English that Chinese students learn for exams is not very applicable in the United States because everyone is more used to colloquial language, and no one can sit still and listen to you read out those smelly and long sentences that sound like diapers.
Lu Mingfei wasn't particularly interested in Kassel College, but since he had decided to attend the interview, he was determined to do his best.
After getting Lu Mingfei's consent, Lao Tang simply made a video call. On the screen was a guy with droopy eyebrows and a very cheerful face waving:
"Hey bro! I'm relieved to see you're doing well. Now let Teacher Tang tutor your spoken English!"
After exchanging greetings, Old Tang began what was probably his first and last teaching career. He taught Lu Mingfei common interview phrases, repeating each phrase several times before moving on to the next...
But half an hour later, Lao Tang felt that his teaching career might be coming to an end, because Lu Mingfei's learning ability was so strong that it made him a little scared.
At first, Lu Mingfei stumbled a bit while learning, and Lao Tang had to correct his pronunciation mistakes. But as time went on, Lu Mingfei's spoken language became more and more fluent, and his pronunciation became so standard that it sounded like a radio announcer reading from a script.
Even at the end, Lu Mingfei was able to use what he had learned in those half an hour to completely overturn everything he had learned before and build a more rigorous spoken logic on the original basis.
Holy crap, what kind of super evolution is this?! Holy crap, you were just learning spoken English, how come your voice has changed so much?! It's become so...so magnetic?!
Old Tang couldn't think of a way to describe his current feelings. On the screen, Lu Mingfei was still earnestly reviewing the sentences he had just learned. If the screen were covered, anyone listening would think that the person sitting opposite him was a native-born American, and an American who had studied broadcasting!
Finally, Lao Tang ended the lesson with a "questioning life" meme, decisively abandoning Lu Mingfei to play star games with others. He was discouraged by Lu Mingfei and urgently needed to regain his confidence in other areas.
The next morning, at the Regent Hotel.
This is the most luxurious hotel in the city, a global chain. It is said that to judge whether a city's economy is developed, you only need to see if there is a Regent Hotel here. Lu Mingfei's knowledge of this hotel comes from his uncle.
My uncle loves sitting in the lobby here with his friends, drinking tea and chatting. He feels a sense of superiority when he sees passersby looking in through the glass windows, as if the whole world is focused on him.
Lu Mingfei arrived a little late. As soon as he entered, a waiter greeted him with a smile, asking if he was a student who had come for an interview at Kassel College, and then led him up to the administration floor.
As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, a beautiful waitress led him to the outside of the conference hall. There were 17 chairs outside, but only one was empty.
When Lu Mingfei walked in, everyone turned to look at him. Everyone who knew him exclaimed in surprise, as if he shouldn't be there.
"Lu Mingfei? What are you doing here?"
Zhao Menghua suddenly stood up, wearing a huge sun hat and sunglasses that covered most of his face, probably trying to hide the swelling that hadn't subsided.
Chen Wenwen, Liu Miaomiao, and some others whose names Lu Mingfei couldn't recall were sitting around him. Su Xiaoqiang was also there, but she was sitting on the outermost seat, next to an empty chair.
"Attend an interview."
Lu Mingfei glanced at him briefly before looking away and naturally sat down next to Su Xiaoqiang.
This is blatant disregard!
Zhao Menghua's eyes blazed with fury. He used to be a star, attracting a lot of attention wherever he went, but now he'd stumbled twice at Lu Mingfei's hands. The other interviewees were all scrutinizing him, and he felt a burning pain on his face.
"I don't know how you got here, but everyone here is better than you. The only reason this academy would admit you is because they're blind!"
Zhao Menghua gritted his teeth. He knew he was no match for Lu Mingfei in terms of physical strength, so he chose to attack from other angles.
"Zhao Menghua, what do you mean?"
Before Lu Mingfei could speak, Su Xiaoqiang became displeased and abruptly stood up, pointing her finger at Zhao Menghua's nose:
"Whether Lu Mingfei can come or not is not up to you. Who do you think you are? If you have the guts, go to the interviewers right now and tell them that you think Lu Mingfei is not qualified and that they must be blind to have let him come for the interview. Do you dare?"
Zhao Menghua couldn't find the words to refute him. He dared not actually go to the interviewer and say something bad about Lu Mingfei, as that might ruin the interviewer's first impression of him. There was no need for him to drag Lu Mingfei down with him.
Engaging in a verbal altercation with a young girl would damage the image he had cultivated over the years, but he was unwilling to swallow it down. In the end, he could only continue to target Lu Mingfei.
"Lu Mingfei! If you're a man, stand up and speak for yourself. Don't you feel ashamed to let a young girl explain for you?"
He was deliberately provoking Lu Mingfei, wanting to make Lu Mingfei look foolish in front of everyone, so that everyone present could testify on his behalf.
Su Xiaoqiang naturally saw through his plan. Just as she was about to continue cursing him for being shameless, Lu Mingfei grabbed her hand, stood up, and rolled up his sleeves.
"What do you want to do!"
Zhao Menghua subconsciously took two steps back, because Lu Mingfei's brutality yesterday had left him with considerable psychological trauma. But he quickly realized that if Lu Mingfei dared to lay a hand on him here, even without using any other connections, this incident would be enough to leave a stain on Lu Mingfei's reputation.
So he regained his confidence and straightened his chest.
"Didn't you tell me to say it myself?"
Lu Mingfei smiled slightly at him and spoke slowly:
"I am all alone and helpless..."
Zhao Menghua's eye twitched. He looked at Lu Mingfei's serious expression, and after a struggle, he wisely swallowed his pride and returned to his seat.
How can there be such shameless people! They always say things like "I'm all alone and have no one to rely on!"
Zhao Menghua roared inwardly.
"It seems my words have touched your soul, so I won't say any more."
Lu Mingfei shrugged and sat back down. The waiter handed him a form and a pencil, on which he had to fill in his name, age, and other information.
After a few seconds of silence in the hall, Su Xiaoqiang couldn't hold back her laughter and burst into tears.
