Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 1026 1026. Chinese Week (12)

"Hello," Dong Qiangqiang glanced at the caller's name and picked up the phone and walked away again, "I wanted to call you again in the evening."

"Haha, I can't wait," Du Lan asked quickly on the other end of the phone, "Did everything go well today? Were there any twists and turns or interesting things?"

Dong Qiangqiang started by talking about the lion dance in the rain early in the morning, then the speech at noon, the dual-theme exhibition in the afternoon and the extremely popular Wanfu cuisine, and finally ended with the ongoing review. Du Lan listened attentively without interrupting Dong Qiangqiang's narration.

"I think today was basically smooth." Dong Qiangqiang thought for a moment, "If it's the same as the credits in Germany, with a maximum of one point and a minimum of five points, I think I can get three points on the first day."

  "So strict?" Du Lan was puzzled.

"Is the speech bad? The two exhibitions and the food were also very touching. Even if I can't get the highest score, two points should be no problem, right?"

"There is still room for further improvement in many details, and it also motivates myself to do better," Dong Qiangqiang explained.

"You are really a perfectionist." Du Lan changed the subject, "By the way, you just said that Lu Wei not only showed up during the speech, but also helped answer questions. Did she later come to you to explain the issue of the fake certificate in the holiday Chinese class?" Du Lan had heard Dong Qiangqiang mention it before and knew that Dong and Feng had some unpleasantness because of Lu.

"She didn't look for me. There were so many things going on in the afternoon that I didn't have time to look for her. But I told Feng Chong that I didn't know she would show up. If I saw her, I would let her explain herself to Feng Chong and I wouldn't get involved."

"That's the best. It's meaningless for you to waste time on these things." Du Lan suddenly changed his tone to envy. "In fact, I envy you for having the opportunity to participate in this kind of activity. Although the preparation process is complicated and hard, and you waste a lot of study time compared to others, and you don't have much income, and it's even thankless, I think this kind of life is one of the meanings of studying abroad, instead of being as monotonous as me, going from university to library and home every day. Hey, Zheng Chunhua is a character. We don't have such a leadership woman here."

"Zheng Chunhua is indeed amazing, but if you don't have such a person now and you are interested, just do it yourself." Dong Qiangqiang encouraged, "You are capable, I am optimistic about you. I can connect you with our experience and partners this time. Oh, no, except for the media."

"Haha, I was just saying that. Don't take it seriously. I'm not like Zheng Chunhua who has already finished her studies. I've learned from my mistakes this semester and I must avoid failing a course like I did last semester. I've canceled all tour groups to attend classes. Of course, there weren't many tour groups because of SARS, so I just wanted to graduate quickly. When I write my graduation thesis, maybe I'll have time to deal with these things. I'll ask you for advice then."

"After Lei Lanting saw Lao Bai moving in, he told me that he also wanted to move in. I saw him talking to the landlord at the China Week venue this afternoon, and I thought he got what he wanted. But he just called me and said that my landlord rejected him, and he wanted me to help him negotiate again."

"What do you say? Are you taking on too much again?"

"If he really has difficulties in life, then I will certainly do my best to help him, but he doesn't have any serious work, so I think I'll just forget about it this time." Dong Qiangqiang thought about it and decided not to bring up the fact that Lei Lanting wanted to move in just to avoid He Yangjin.

Du Lan was satisfied with Dong Qiangqiang's approach and stopped caring about this topic: "Okay, I've asked all the questions I care about. You can go back and review the situation with everyone. I'll go back to the library to continue reading."

"Okay, I'll come find you when I'm not busy," Dong Qiangqiang said, "Come on, give me a kiss, and we'll be done."

Kissing in the air gave temporary relaxation to two tired hearts in different places.

When Dong Qiangqiang returned to the discussion area, everyone had already sorted out their opinions under the leadership of Zheng Chunhua, and encouraged each other a few words, and the review of the day came to an end.

Dong Qiangqiang said goodbye to everyone else and was about to go back to the library to continue reviewing when Zheng Chunhua stopped him and said, "I have something to ask you."

"You said."

"Should I report to Sun Tao about what happened during today's speech?"

Dong Qiangqiang thought for a moment and said, "I don't think so. Sun Tao is busy with work. I'll find time to report to him after the event is successfully concluded."

"That's fine," Zheng Chunhua seemed very worried, "but I don't know how it will be broadcast on TV, and how the reporters will report what happened today."

"We can't predict these things, we can only let nature take its course and deal with them as they arise."

"I hope nothing unexpected happens tomorrow." Dong Qiangqiang read until the library closed. When he drove home, the surroundings were completely silent, and even the street lights were turned off in some places.

He locked the car, put on his backpack and was about to step onto the steps in front of the door when he heard a timid female voice suddenly coming from behind him.

"Dong Qiangqiang."

This shout came unexpectedly and Dong Qiangqiang was startled. He turned around and saw that the person standing in front of him was Lu Wei, who had spoken back at the female reporter in the lecture classroom during the day.

He really didn't expect Lu Wei to appear at his door so late at night. Why didn't he say it during the day? If he was afraid of being seen, he could have called. Why did he sneak in at night and block the door? What on earth was Lu Wei thinking?

"Why are you here?"

Lu Wei didn't answer, but just looked into his eyes quietly.

"It's so late, what's wrong?"

"I think...some things that happened before need to be communicated to you." Lu Wei's eyes were surprisingly bright at night.

"It's too late today. Why don't we talk tomorrow?" Dong Qiangqiang said, then he remembered that Lu Wei didn't live in Trier. "Are you going to China Week tomorrow? Where do you live? I'll take you back. Or are you going back to Hanover tonight? Then I'll take you to the train station and we can talk on the way."

Lu Wei ignored Dong Qiangqiang's kindness and said to herself: "Some things should have been said earlier. It's too late to wait until today."

Hearing that he had to tell her today, Dong Qiangqiang estimated that the temperature outside was only 10 degrees or even lower, and tilted his head towards the house: "It's cold outside, let's talk inside."

Lu Wei did not object and followed Dong Qiangqiang into the room obediently.

The landlord had gone to bed, and there seemed to be voices of people talking on the second floor. Dong Qiangqiang didn't know who Lao Bai was still calling so late at night, and wanted to go up and remind him to lower his voice, but then he changed his mind and decided to find out as soon as possible what Lu Wei wanted to say.

He led Lu Wei into the kitchen and closed the door to prevent their conversation from disturbing the landlord who lived on the same floor.

"Your speech during the day was very interesting. I looked for you after the speech, but couldn't find you. I was busy afterwards and didn't have time to contact you again." Dong Qiangqiang poured Lu Wei a glass of water.

Lu Wei picked up the water cup and took small sips.

"What's the matter?" It was too late and his shirt and suit were still sticking to his body, making him feel uncomfortable. Dong Qiangqiang didn't want to be polite anymore and simply got straight to the point.

Lu Wei put down the water cup, turned around, took out a few A4 papers from her bag, and placed them in front of Dong Qiangqiang one by one.

"what is this?"

"I didn't become a student of Handan University again during the winter vacation," Lu Wei's voice was very soft, as if she realized that Dong Qiangqiang didn't want to make too much noise, "I lied to Feng Chong, which means I lied to you too. I'm sorry."

Before Dong Qiangqiang could figure out what Lu Wei gave him, something from upstairs fell to the floor with a dull collision sound, accompanied by a loud discussion.

Lao Bai didn't seem to be on the phone, and there seemed to be more than one person talking upstairs.
