Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 993 993. Mental Problems

Because he was busy discussing the list of cicada-catching warehouses with Duanmu the night before, it was already midnight when he got home. Dong Qiangqiang was sleepy and tired. He had no intention of preparing for another subject in the advanced national economics exam the next day, so he couldn't understand the professor. The content of the lecture did not surprise or frustrate him. He could only insist on listening to the lecture step by step, recording, observing the students who were attending the lecture, borrowing notes from other students and copying study materials. Although not every link was effective or even had little effect, But he believes that all difficulties are only temporary. At the beginning of school, his to-do list is not as long as usual. There is no point in blaming others and giving up on yourself. The only thing is to race against time and fight for time with yourself.

Perhaps in order to make efficient use of the classroom, the university arranged many classes during lunch time. Dong Qiangqiang didn't understand this, but he couldn't help it because he was worried about being sleepy in class, so he chose bread and coffee as before .

The lecturer of the noon elective course "U.S. Financial Statement Analysis" was an American professor who came to the U.S. University for an exchange visit, and he spoke English. After listening to German all morning, Dong Qiangqiang was not used to the sudden switch to English.

This course is related to the CFA exam at the end of the year, the credits to be taken, and Cicada's own business. Dong Qiangqiang did not dare to neglect and listened extremely carefully. However, most of his reserved knowledge was self-taught earlier and he had not built a solid foundation. Knowledge system, so the effect of listening to the lectures was about the same as that in the morning, with a vague and ethereal feeling. It was not until the end of get out of class that I finally felt something. The only thing that pleased him about the whole class was that the professor emphasized at the end that the teaching content was related to the CFA exam, and students could communicate with him at any time if they had questions related to the exam.

While the professor was giving get out of class, he took the professor's book list and headed into the library. After a quick search, he suddenly discovered that the library did not contain the financial reference books recommended by the teacher.

Before driving to Luxembourg to take the CFA training course, he made a special trip to the bookstore in the city. However, the bookstore did not have the professional financial books he wanted. He had to reserve them, and the English books were expensive. Dong Qiangqiang was not in a hurry and planned to go to Luxembourg. Let's go to the bookstore over there after class.

It takes about fifty minutes to drive from Trier to Luxembourg where classes are held. Seeing the parking fee standards made Dong Qiangqiang feel bad, but he had nothing to do. If he parked in a free parking lot further away and then walked back to the classroom, it would take about half an hour. , he could only grit his teeth and park in the parking space below the classroom.

The official languages ​​of Luxembourg are French, German and Luxembourgish. Dong Qiangqiang originally thought that he could choose to teach in German, but it turned out that the class was still taught in English for an hour and a half because the exam was in English. I was hit once each in the morning, noon and afternoon. Dong Qiangqiang was a bit naughty. English is just English, isn’t it just learning? At worst, just read each article one by one.

The training class distributed thick textbooks and exercise books, and Dong Qiangqiang flipped through them casually. Although there were many new words, the English of the textbooks and exercise books was easy to understand, and there was almost no over-and-over-turning in the German textbooks. This gave him some confidence. After coming to Germany, he found that compared to reading and summarizing by himself, answering the questions was the easiest thing, which was simply for nothing.

After class, the teacher pulls all the students who participated in the training into a chat room. Everyone can speak and communicate in the chat room, and the teacher is responsible for answering questions. He no longer had to go to the bookstore. There were reference books recommended by university professors on the shelves outside the training classroom. However, they were all second-hand and the price was half cheaper than those in German bookstores. Dong Qiangqiang laughed out loud with joy and bought them all. He had already planned in his mind that he would also sell second-hand books after passing the exam.

Dong Qiangqiang was in a good mood after buying the reference book and drove home happily. When he passed a green market, he noticed many bicycles parked in a dense and orderly manner outside the market. After asking someone to inquire, he found out that this place was The most famous flower, bird, insect and fish market in Luxembourg. Thinking of the empty pond that had just been dug in the backyard, he parked the car on the side of the road and went in for a walk. He bought young lotus plants with lotus leaves, more than a dozen golden grasses and several roses, the national flower of Luxembourg. He didn't understand. Only then was the sadness of class completely forgotten.

Before getting on the highway, the dashboard showed that the fuel level was low. He drove the car into a gas station on the roadside and was pleasantly surprised to find that the gas price in Luxembourg was not only cheaper than that in Trier, but also cheaper than what he had filled in many places in Paris and Verona. All are cheap. He filled up a tank of gas without hesitation and drove out of Luxembourg with satisfaction, feeling that he had truly squeezed out the wool of capitalism.

With the landlord's consent, he used a water pump to pump water from the pond into the vegetable field, and took advantage of this time to plant roses in different corners of the yard. When the water level in the pond dropped to half, he carefully buried the young lotus plants. into the pond bottom mud and keep the water surface slightly lower than the lotus leaves to ensure that daylight can reach it. After the young plants have grown for a period of time, he can add water to the pond according to the height of the lotus branches and wait for the lotus to grow. The pond was gradually filled up in the process, and finally he threw all the goldfish he bought into the pond. Looking at the few red tails among the green lotus leaves, his tired body and mind were relaxed.

He crossed his arms behind his head and lay by the pond admiring the fruits of his labor. He thought that driving to Luxembourg for classes was fast but expensive. Next time, he could try riding a bicycle to the Trier train station with his student ID card. Take the train to Luxembourg with your bicycle. Even if you take the slow train, you can get to the Luxembourg train station in 45 minutes. After leaving the station, you can ride to the classroom by bike. Although the commuting time is longer than driving, you will spend less on gas and parking fees. After all, you will It takes nine months of training, and he can also use the train time to study, which gives him a lot more time at his disposal than driving there.

Just when he had made this decision, Zheng Chunhua called and informed him that he would meet at the main entrance of the library at 2 pm tomorrow and the first all-member meeting of the China Week preparatory working group would be officially held. He happily agreed.

Less than 10 minutes after I hung up the phone, Lao Bai called unexpectedly.

"Do you have anything going on tomorrow morning?" "Probably in the library."

"There was a call from France just now, informing me to go to the police station at 9 o'clock tomorrow to complete the case closing procedures, but I am still in Rome and will not be able to return to Trier until next week. The police said that it is okay for you to go, and you should sign the consent form for closing the case. It’s okay if I just say it. Can you please run away?”

"Has the person been caught?" Dong Qiangqiang thought that he could just bring the things to Qin Youbo, "It's no problem for me to go."

"I didn't catch it." Lao Bai's voice sounded unhappy.

"Can't you? Didn't the police find the person who was thrown out of the car by us?" Dong Qiangqiang felt unbelievable, "That person ran away?"

"The person was found, but the police said that the person's family provided a medical certificate that he had mental problems, so there was insufficient evidence and the police could not convict him."

"Mental problem..." Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but want to curse, "But all of us in the car saw it. Although the grandson is not a good bird, his intelligence must be normal. How could he have a mental problem..."

"You're right, but people just can't judge."

Dong Qiangqiang finally couldn't help but cursed, and felt much better after the curse.

"Remember to bring your ID," Old Bai changed the topic, "I have one more thing to trouble you. We will go back to Trier next week and I may have to live at your place. Can you help me ask the landlord if I can live there? She Do you need any documents?”

"Let me ask, how long do you plan to stay?"

"I can't tell, let's give it a month first. I don't have a motorcycle driver's license myself, so not only do I have to take the test, but I also have to take them with me."

The background sound of Lao Bai was very noisy, and he said a few more words. Dong Qiangqiang heard it in a mess. He only heard the sentence "Don't be late tomorrow", and Lao Bai hung up the phone.

Dong Qiangqiang estimated that it would take another day to go to Paris, so he had to call Zheng Chunhua to explain. Zheng Chunhua expressed understanding and said that the discussion could be postponed to the evening.

The landlord was reading a book when Dong Qiangqiang walked into the living room. He said that he had a friend who wanted to rent a room for a month and asked the landlord if it was possible. The landlord said that as long as the other party could abide by the housing discipline, she would be fine. Dong Qiangqiang felt confident and thanked him. Landlady, go back to the house and pick up the things you brought for Qin Youbo, including your laptop and the books you want to read, buy an overnight train ticket to Paris, and set off all the way west.
