War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 383 Wei Ran's Classmates and Mentor
The interview in the museum was successfully concluded. Wei Ran bid farewell to the deputy curator Lu Ren and the person in charge of the interview, and then returned to Kazan on the flight that night without stopping.Only this time, it was Teacher Karp who was waiting for him at the airport.

"Kazan University" Karp threw the car keys to Wei Ran while speaking.

"Why go to Kazan University?" Wei Ran asked curiously after taking the car keys.

"Introduce your teacher and classmates to you," Karp explained indifferently, then lowered the car window, lit a cigarette, and explained slowly, "This is actually your first meet again."

Wei Ran opened his mouth, didn't ask any more questions, started the car honestly, and drove to the direction of Kazan University under the prompt of the navigation.And along the way, Karp didn't say anything more, but just before arriving at the destination, he took out his mobile phone and made a call.

When Wei Ran parked the car at the gate of the school, Karp immediately opened the door and got out of the car, and walked to the gate of the school familiarly, an old man who looked about 60 or [-] years old.Seeing this, Wei Ran quickly turned off the engine, trotted after him.

"Victor, long time no see." The old man enthusiastically patted Wei Ran on the shoulder, "How is your graduation thesis preparation?"

"Forehead"

Have we met?Wei Ran looked blankly at this old guy who had never seen him before, and replied equally enthusiastically after a while, "Sorry teacher, I haven't had time to work on the thesis, but I will definitely get it done before graduation."

"I never doubted that, well, let's go in. Also, you should call me boss, not teacher."

After finishing speaking, the old man simply turned around, and after Karp nodded to Wei Ran, he turned and walked towards the car parked by the side of the road. Judging by his posture, it was obvious that he did not intend to follow.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Wei Ran followed the old man who didn't even know his name and walked straight into the school.

"My name is Kajik Voronin, and I am your postgraduate tutor. Your main field of study is the direction of war history. Here are your transcripts and some of the courses you have participated in during your postgraduate study at Kazan University. The research project, and the two articles you published in the journal last year on the research on the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Berlin in the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union."

The old man was wandering around the campus with Wei Ran while talking slowly in a moderate voice, and at the same time handed a file bag to Wei Ran, "Before I arrive at my office, send the contents inside Get acquainted."

Hearing this, Wei Ran hurriedly opened the file bag in his hand by the dim light of the street lamp. In addition to a particularly detailed report card, there were various things such as student ID cards and library borrowing cards. And a table in the shape of a table of contents, and in this table are all the titles of some articles published in his own name, the corresponding time and the name of the journal.

After he hurriedly flipped through these things that were definitely forged in surprise, the old man named Kajik took the portfolio back again, stopped and motioned Wei Ran to sit on the roadside bench.

"Your mentor, that is, I, Kajik Voronin"

The old man put his hands on the back of the bench and said slowly, "I only like to drink beer and never touch spirits. Every Saturday, I go fishing on the Volga River. The location is not fixed. In winter, fishing activities The time would turn into playing tennis at the Kazan Stadium, driving an old white BMW that always had a rattling sound when it started, but I never bothered to fix it.

Every weekend I go to the Orthodox Church on Bauman Walking Street because I am a devout Christian.In addition, I also like to collect nesting dolls, so you will give me a set of nesting dolls as gifts every year during various festivals.

Fourth, I like eating rabbit rides and smoking shisha, but in fact, the restaurant I go to most often is the Georgian restaurant across the road east of the school, because the owner of that restaurant is my wife, so I usually go to Take you there with your classmates to talk about things.Well, now repeat what I just said. "

Hearing this, Wei Ran hastily repeated what the other party said out of order.

The old man named Kajik corrected some mistakes in Wei Ran's words, and after Wei Ran repeated it again, he nodded and continued, "Now tell me about your problem. Victor, you are a graduate student. During this period of time, I have been living outside the school, and I rarely communicate with others, just like a Chinese student who is too hardworking and studious.

The only person who interacts with you, apart from me, is your classmate, an international student from Hasa, Maya Swanidzer. She often borrows your car and even wants to be your girlfriend, but because of her Questions of faith are rejected by you.

In addition, Maya’s interpersonal relationship at school is very good, but because you are busy with other things, you rarely interact with classmates other than Maya, but because Maya and I often mention you, other classmates treat you too. Some understanding. "

Under the signal of the other party, Wei Ran repeated what the other party had just said, dumbfounded.

"Okay, now go to my office and let Maya show you around the school."

As he spoke, Kajik stood up slowly, led Wei Ran along the campus, introduced the surrounding buildings, and finally brought him to an office on the top floor of a remote old building.

"Hi! Victor, happy new year! Did you bring me a present?"

As soon as he entered the door, a tall, slender and beautiful girl with black hair greeted her enthusiastically, and then asked Wei Ran without waiting for Wei Ran's answer, "Your interview is over? When will it be broadcast?"

"Which idiot would refuse such a protruding girl as his girlfriend?" Wei Ran muttered to himself, and replied with a smile, "It's only over at noon, and I don't know when it will be broadcast."

"Okay, Maya, take Victor to look at his stuff, then take him for a walk around the school, and come back in two hours."

Speaking of this, the old guy named Kajik reminded with a smile on his face, "Maya, although it's a pity, I heard from Victor that he already has a girlfriend, and she is a beautiful mixed-race girl."

"Thank you for the reminder, I won't be taken advantage of by him."

After finishing speaking, the girl named Maya hooked her hands at Wei Ran, then walked out of the office on her own, went into the next room, and turned on the light.

"This is your place," Maya said, pointing to a table by the window, "Everything on it is yours."

Wei Ran glanced at the messy materials on the table, as well as a notebook that hadn't been turned off yet, and the safety buckle pendant with a strong Chinese style on the drawer, and finally couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Maya, usually real people"

Maya smiled, but did not give any response.

"When did it start?" Wei Ran asked again unwillingly.

"Your curiosity will get you in trouble"

Maya said, throwing a bunch of keys to Wei Ran, "Familiarize yourself with the things in the drawer, and then I will take you to the school."

"Hold on"

Wei Ran took the key and opened the drawers of the table one by one.There are not many things in this drawer. In addition to some periodicals and printed papers signed by Kajik, himself and Maya, there are also a set of Chinese chess, two pornographic magazines, and several A business card of Time Studio and some shopping receipts with a huge date span. Besides, there is even a scarf.

But he clearly remembered that this scarf was a gift from Sui Sui last Christmas, and he usually put it in that off-road vehicle, how could it appear here?

Subconsciously glanced at Maya, but the latter misunderstood what Wei Ran meant, thinking that he had finished reading it, and immediately led him to visit every building in the entire school, starting from this old building.When the agreed two hours came, Maya immediately brought Wei Ran back to Kajik's office.

"Not surprisingly, this should be the last time we meet at Kazan University"

At the door of the office, Maya said before opening the door, "Victor, if we have a chance to see you in the future, I hope you still remember my classmate."

"Thank you." Wei Ran said sincerely.

"You're welcome." Maya hesitated for a moment, and finally said nothing. She pushed open the door and signaled Wei Ran to go in, while she simply turned around and walked into the stairwell.

"Do you remember?" Kajik, who had been waiting in the office, asked with a smile.

"Barely remember." Wei Ran closed the door and replied with a numb face.

"it does not matter"

Kajik pointed behind Wei Ran, "Soon, there will be a fire in the room you and Maya often use, so you don't need to remember too many things in it, just remember what I told you before. "

"Is there any more?" Wei Ran asked.

"Remember to finish your dissertation as soon as possible"

Kajik smiled and threatened, "If your graduation thesis is not satisfactory to me, not only will you not be able to get a diploma, but you will also have to pay Maya and me $20 in labor costs."

"Death in the same line requires money." Wei Ran muttered to himself, but his heart was inexplicably more at ease.

"Well, it seems that you have nothing to ask."

Kajik picked up the hookah on the table and took a sip, "During the period before graduation, if you have time, you can come here often, because I am your tutor after all, the thesis matter I'll help you, but don't try to be lazy yourself."

"Don't worry boss"

Wei Ran smiled and made a promise, "As long as I have time, I will definitely come to you to help with the thesis. Even after I graduate, I will come to see you often."

"Go to the parking lot, that bastard Culp is waiting for you."

After finishing speaking, Kajik picked up the file bag that he had shown Wei Ran first, "The things here will be given to you together with your graduation certificate. Good luck, Victor."

"Thank you, Mr. Kajik, and goodbye."

Wei Ran bowed very formally to the mentor he met for the first time, then turned around and left the office, and walked slowly towards the parking lot in the dark.

When he got into the car again, Karp was already sitting in the driver's seat, but he didn't rush to start the car, but asked Wei Ran with a smile, "You must have something to ask, right?"

"When did this start?" Wei Ran, who held back all the way, pointed out the window and asked.

Karp smiled, "From the day after you paid for the first year's tuition with those sands."

"Including that girl named Maya?" Wei Ran asked.

Karp nodded, "including her".

"Is it necessary?" Wei Ran asked dumbfounded.

"You paid the tuition," Karp said half-truthfully, "Of course, the main reason is Mr. Nicholas, otherwise you wouldn't be able to enjoy so many resources."

"Do you want me to pay some tuition fees?"

Wei Ran took the initiative to ask, if he still thought it was expensive when he heard the tuition fee of Hongqi Forest Farm for the first time, now, he not only thinks it is cheap, but it makes him a little uneasy.

"Time Film Studio has paid for your tuition"

Karp didn't start the car until this time, and after leaving the school slowly, he asked, "Victor, what are your plans after graduation?"

Hearing this, Wei Ran shook his head and smiled wryly, "You're not the first to ask."

"so what?"

"At least I don't plan to be a war photographer anymore"

When Wei Ran said this, his heart moved, and he said with a smile, "In addition, I am going to move my studio to Kazan. Karp, maybe I need your help."

"What help?" Karp asked with great interest.

"I want to buy a house." Wei Ran said with fingers, "This house must not only meet the needs of the studio, but also have a large enough living space."

"The Hongqi Forest Farm is big enough." Karp gave an option before Wei Ran finished speaking.

"And the point is to be in an urban area with easy access to transportation and easy parking."

Wei Ran hurriedly added another request temporarily. Simply speaking, Hongqi Forest Farm is indeed a good choice, but he doesn't want to hang around under the eyes of Karp and others all the time. Mr. Gorbachev, the silly dog, can make him or Jima have nightmares for several nights in a row.

"I'll keep an eye on it for you," Karp agreed nonchalantly, "It's almost a week before you go to the Hongqi Forest Farm. How do you arrange this time?"

"I plan to find a house as soon as possible." Wei Ran immediately expressed his plan.

"So urgent?" Karp raised his eyebrows in surprise, "What happened to Volgograd?"

"No!" Wei Ran hurriedly waved his hand, explaining Suisui's situation and his plans after graduation.

"Just for this?" Karp looked at Wei Ran, who was sitting in the co-pilot, with a strange expression, "Are you ashamed to ask me for help in such a matter?"

"That's also." Wei Ran grinned, "It's actually quite important."

"What an enviable young man." Karp shook his head helplessly, "In this case, I will help you ask about the house tomorrow."

　Chinese New Year is coming soon, I also rest for two days,

　　Starting today, the 4K single update will be performed every day, and the update will resume after a few days of rest.

　　Finally, I wish everyone a happy Year of the Tiger!
