Lu Mingfei: Hogwarts repeater

Chapter 75 Chu Zihang, courtesy name Eight Po, training at the High School Affiliated to Peking University
  "Are you sure this is a barber shop?"

Lu Mingfei looked at the building in front of him and blurted out.

It's not that he doesn't dare to spend money. Lu Mingfei can imagine that a barber shop with a family like Xiaotiannu's will definitely not be cheap, but no matter how expensive a barber shop is, a visit of several hundred or even thousands is enough, right?

With a bank card worth 14,000 U.S. dollars that he got from Ling as a sparring partner in his pocket, Lu Mingfei was now a wealthy man with a net worth of 100,000 U.S. dollars. Although it was a bit painful to spend hundreds or even thousands, it was not unacceptable.

Anyway, there is nothing to spend money on at ordinary times, and the money will not increase more if I put it there...

But the prerequisite is to go to a barber shop!
  The splendid decoration is just that. It’s not like Lu Mingfei has never seen anything more luxurious, but what the hell is the welcoming lady in a short skirt?

He didn't see the barber shop's exclusive flower-turning column at the door. The most important thing was that the plaque said - Shiyan Club!

"The beauty club also provides haircut services." Su Xiaoqiang urged Lu Mingfei and led the way. She couldn't wait to see what Lu Mingfei would look like after his makeover.

But her figure suddenly froze after entering the hall.

"What's wrong?" Lu Mingfei was a little strange. He followed Su Xiaoqiang's line of sight and looked over there. He saw the back of a very familiar boy...

"Senior Brother Chu?"

The boy turned his head and looked this way when he heard the sound. His face was expressionless, his eyebrows were dark and straight, as sharp as a sword, his face with clear lines and straight nose were unforgettable at a glance... It was Chu Zihang.

"Lu Mingfei?" Chu Zihang said.

His eyes paused back and forth between Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang in confusion, recalling what he had heard before, "You..."

……

In the reception room, Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang sat side by side on a sofa in a student-like manner, watching with a somewhat restrained expression as Chu Zihang, not far in front of them, brought a glass of water to each of them.

Probably no one expected that things would unfold like this today, that they would meet the rumored Senior Brother Chu Zihang in a club...

It sounds like a story from an old Internet novel in which the protagonist goes to a nightclub and meets a school beauty to work part-time, but the genders are reversed.

Of course, the nature is different, this club is not that club, it is a serious one.

Since Lu Mingfei had dealt with Chu Zihang before and shared a secret relationship, he wouldn't have acted so restrained, but now he had Su Xiaoqiang by his side... and the two of them came to the club together.

"This club is a joint venture between my mother and a friend, so I come here occasionally and get my hair cut here."

Chu Zihang handed the water to Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang, received two thanks and sat on the sofa opposite them.

"Are you here to get a haircut too?" he asked, looking back and forth between the two of them, which brought an inexplicable pressure.

In fact, Chu Zihang was really just asking out of curiosity, but his face was always expressionless, so the pressure instantly rose.

"Yes, yes, yes..."×2
  Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang nodded at the same time like chickens pecking at rice.

"Come together?"

"Yes, yes, yes..."×2
  It's all been seen, so there's no need to deny it.

"Are you dating?"

"Yes, yes, yes..."×2
  Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang nodded habitually and then suddenly paused and said in unison: "This is wrong!"

"It hasn't officially started yet?" Chu Zihang asked again.

Lu Mingfei couldn't hold it any longer. What was the process like this gossip interrogation? The most important thing is...the person in charge of the interrogation is actually Chu Zihang?
  Please, this is not in line with Senior Brother Chu's character, okay? You should maintain the demeanor of passing by in the corridor with a cold face and grading in front of thousands of people in the school, instead of sitting in front of you with an expressionless and curious expression. What a tone to ask about such a thing!
  Inexplicably, a word flashed through Lu Mingfei's mind - "eighth mother-in-law". Chu Zihang's behavior and temperament at this time seemed to match the word... but then he shook his head violently in his mind and dismissed the idea.

Are you kidding me? How could Senior Brother Chu, the cold-faced young gentleman, be associated with the word "eighth mother-in-law"? The eight poles have nothing to do with each other, it must be an illusion!

Well, maybe it’s because of the relationship between him and me that we share secrets, so I’m a little interested in him... That must be the case, right?
  "I understand." Chu Zihang carefully observed the reactions of Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang, and spoke without waiting for an answer.

"What do you know!" Lu Mingfei thought to himself, feeling that Chu Zihang had some misunderstanding...

"I'll go talk to Aunt Shi and ask her to arrange the most skilled stylist for you." Chu Zihang stood up and left.

The room fell into an even more embarrassing atmosphere for a while. Su Xiaoqiang blushed and said nothing, and Lu Mingfei didn't know what to say for a while.

In fact, he thought Su Xiaoqiang's reaction was a bit strange.

Chu Zihang is undoubtedly the dream lover of all the girls in the school. He should be number one on the list. Faced with the question of "it hasn't officially started yet" raised by Chu Zihang just now, shouldn't normal girls subconsciously put aside the relationship immediately? ?

After all, there is nothing between him and Su Xiaoqiang. Lu Mingfei thinks that is reasonable... Su Xiaoqiang doesn't think he can compare with Chu Zihang, right?
  "Say," Lu Mingfei finally came up with an idea to break the deadlock, "since this store is a joint venture between Brother Chu, his mother and his friends, why not use his photos to advertise? The effect should be very good, right?"

Gossip is the best way to break the situation!

"Because fashion beauty ads require before-and-after pictures, can you find ugly photos of Senior Brother Chu? You can't act ugly just for this." Su Xiaoqiang said along the stage set up by Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei thought the same thing. For a person like Chu Zihang who said the word "awesome" between the lines. His daily outfit could be used as a magazine cover even if someone takes a photo of him while walking on the street. He pretended to be ugly for an advertisement. It’s too much of a loss.

"But..." Su Xiaoqiang seemed to suddenly think of something, stared at Lu Mingfei, and raised his eyebrows. "I have a bad feeling. Are you planning something strange?" Lu Mingfei subconsciously moved back.

"Wrong, totally wrong. On the contrary, this idea is not strange at all, and it is very good for you." Su Xiaoqiang laughed, "Do you want to make a fortune?"

"...Let me tell you first, I am a very pure person, I don't sell my body to perform my art!" Lu Mingfei hugged himself in horror.

"Bah," Su Xiaoqiang spat lightly, "You want to sell yourself, but I won't take it... You're selling your face!"

"Selling face?" Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of the advertising issue he had just discussed with Su Xiaoqiang, and he suddenly came to his senses.

"Me? How is that possible!"

……

"Ten thousand!"

"It's more than this amount to find a model for any commercial shoot, boss lady, are you sure? One million!"

"Little beauty, you don't have to ask for such exorbitant prices when doing business. Thirty thousand, is this a lot of money for a student, right?"

"I'm asking a lot of money, so you can pay me back. Besides, the value of the product depends not on the actual value, but the packaging value, not to mention that this face has both actual value and packaging value! Five hundred thousand!" can not be less anymore."

"There are too many. It would be enough to invite a star."

"Celebrities are not so good-looking. I don't believe that a stylist can't see the value of this face. This will help your club expand the market!"

"Then we have to record the entire process, including the subsequent commercial shooting..."

"It's okay to record the whole process, plus the subsequent commercial shooting, that's another price." Su Xiaoqiang shook his head domineeringly.

Sitting opposite her was a very mature-looking urban beauty, Yu Jie Feng, who was exactly the Aunt Shi, the owner of a club jointly owned by her mother and Chu Zihang.

To be able to run such a large club like this shows that someone is definitely capable, but Su Xiaoqiang was able to keep up with her.

On the side, Lu Mingfei, who was standing with Chu Zihang, stared blankly at this scene. He had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu as if he had put it up for auction during the triangular trade period... The most important thing was that it looked like it was going to be successful and sold. Sky-high price!
  "Are they crazy?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but whisper to Chu Zihang.

"When did I become worth so much money? It's just an advertisement! I'm satisfied with free styling fees. Five hundred thousand? I feel like buying my face is enough!"

Chu Zihang: "..."

When I meet someone for the first time, I feel that I am not worth so much...

"Aunt Shi never does business at a loss, otherwise she wouldn't be able to make the club so big," Chu Zihang said, "Her willingness to pay this price shows that it is worth the money."

"Then how ugly do I look now?" Lu Mingfei was a little doubtful about life, "I can't just change my appearance and I will be the same as a different person, right?"

"I don't know, but you can look forward to it. I think their judgment will not be wrong."

Chu Zihang felt that there was no need to waste time on this question that would soon be answered, so he changed the subject: "Do you know about going to the capital in the near future?"

"Going to the capital? Who, me?" Lu Mingfei's attention was diverted as expected. When he saw Chu Zihang nodding, he asked in confusion, "Why should I go to the capital?"

"China Mathematical Olympiad Finals." Chu Zihang said, "This year's finals host school is in Beijing, and the math teacher is taking me to a training camp."

Lu Mingfei suddenly understood, and then became even more confused: "What does that have to do with me?"

Lu Mingfei knew what Chu Zihang was talking about. China Mathematical Olympiad, CMO, also known as the National Mathematical Winter Camp for Middle School Students, selected the 60 best contestants across the country to form the national training team for the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) that year.

But this matter has nothing to do with Lu Mingfei. Let’s not talk about whether he can be selected or not. This thing was selected in the National High School Mathematics League in early September. At that time, Lu Mingfei had not traveled to Hogwarts. !

Let’s not talk about whether the ability can reach that point. As one of the top competitions in the world, the Mathematical Olympiad has an excellent matching and screening mechanism that “genius is the ticket”——

Every May, some candidates will be selected from the National Middle School Mathematics Competition (preliminary round) held by each province with its own questions. This group of people are qualified to participate in the National High School Mathematics League in early September, and some people are selected... Two screens narrow down the tens of millions of students across the country to only two or three hundred, and then the final CMO selects 60 !
  It is normal for Chu Zihang to be one of the two or three hundred people, because he is Chu Zihang, but Lu Mingfei? He didn't even go to the preliminaries, how could he follow?

This thing can't be used to crowd people, and no one is strong enough to crowd it into an event like this!
  "The math teacher said he would take you to experience the atmosphere in advance and do the next questions." Chu Zihang said, "He has already applied to the school and approved it. Let me inform you that the air tickets, food and accommodation are all included."

Lu Mingfei: "..."

The math teacher really has high expectations for himself! I am already sure that I will be able to attend next year!

"When are you going? Which school? I'll talk to my uncle and aunt when I get home..."

Lu Mingfei scratched his head. This was definitely something he couldn't refuse. Given the math teacher's kindness, he had no choice but to accept it honestly.

After all, if you enjoy the benefit of not having to do homework in other subjects, you can't get nothing in return, right? I feel sorry for myself!
  "On next Tuesday," Chu Zihang said.

"The High School Affiliated to Peking University in Beijing."

PS: Today’s sanity discussion post – Why did Xia Mi erase Chu Zihang’s memory and leave Shilan Middle School? How would she feel when she saw Chu Zihang now?
  　Three thousand four! That’s it for today. I need to sort out the details. Good night, brothers! Please read and ask for monthly tickets~
