With the Cole Prize and the one million scholarship from the University of Jin Ling, Lu Zhou earned 1.6 million dollars in less than a month. He earned the down payment for a house.
Lu Zhou finished the paperwork at the bank and looked at the balance in his text message. He could not help but feel emotional.
As expected, a good-looking boy's luck would never be too bad.
He had already cashed the check from the University of Jin Ling. As for the US $100,000 check, he was not in a hurry to cash it. First of all, he could not cash it in ICBC. Second of all, he was about to go to Princeton, so there was no need to cash it.
At this moment, a man in a suit with a smile on his face walked over and said attentively.
"Bro, do you want to buy insurance? Not only can our insurance cover all kinds of accidents, but it can also be withdrawn in full after ten years. It's equivalent to financial management. Even if you don't use it, it's worth it! "
When Lu Zhou heard the voice coming from the side, he snapped out of his reverie.
He looked at the smiling salesman and smiled as he said, "No, thank you."
He turned around and left the bank. He got on his bicycle and rode toward the school gate.
As Lu Zhou looked at the cars on the road, he could not help but think.
Maybe I should learn to drive?
I'm about to go to America. Apparently, it's hard to go anywhere without my own car. Especially in a rural town like Princeton.
Lu Zhou made a decision in his heart.
I'll set a small goal. I'll get my Chinese driver's license in a month before Chinese New Year.
…
Lu Zhou stayed at school until New Year's Day. He finally got on the train home and went all the way to Jiangling.
Lu Zhou dragged his suitcase and stood in front of his house. Just as he pressed the doorbell, he heard the sound of slippers behind the door.
"Bro!"
The door opened, and Xiao Tong excitedly ran up to him with a smile on his face.
After not seeing him for a year, the little guy had grown a little taller. His forehead was almost touching his nose.
However, no matter how tall she grew, in Lu Zhou's heart, she would always be the little one who wore open-crotch pants and cried when she was bullied by the bad kids outside. When she cried, she would hide behind him and secretly smear her tears and snot on her brother's clothes.
Enduring the pain in his nose, Lu Zhou rubbed his sister's head and dragged the suitcase into the house.
He glanced in the direction of the kitchen, put on his slippers, and asked casually, "Where are my parents?"
Xiaotong stood up straight and saluted, "Reporting to Big Bro, Dad and the uncle next door went fishing, and Mom is at the market buying vegetables! We'll have braised fish tonight! "
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "What about you?"
"I'm doing a test! Good boy! " Xiaotong then pulled Lu Zhou's hand back and forth, blinking her eyes pitifully. "Bro, where's my present?"
As expected.
Her true nature was exposed.
Previously in the duty-free shop, Lu Zhou opened a video call and let Xiaotong choose. She couldn't take her eyes off the beautifully packaged chocolates.
After buying the presents for his parents and the two professors, Lu Zhou only had two or three hundred dollars left. Because he was too lazy to exchange it for RMB, he picked a box of each chocolates for her and spent the rest of the money.
Since Xiaotong's genes were similar to his, they were both the type that wouldn't get fat, so he wasn't worried that she would blame him if she got fat.
Lu Zhou threw the handle of the suitcase into Xiaotong's hand and said with a smile, "It's all in the suitcase. Help me drag it to my room and pour me a glass of water."
"Yay! You're the best! "
Xiaotong giggled and kissed him on the cheek before she dragged his suitcase and ran to the room.
Lu Zhou looked at Xiaotong's cheerful figure and shook his head. He then went to the kitchen and found his dad's tea collection. He threw in a handful and made himself a cup of hot tea.
When he returned to the living room, Xiaotong happened to walk out of his room with her "trophy".
Lu Zhou looked at the plastic bag in her hand and smiled as he said, "Remember not to eat too much at once. I don't recognize you when I come back from Princeton."
"No way, it's not like I'm going to eat it all at once," said Xiaotong confidently.
Lu Zhou: "Do whatever you want, I don't care. Speaking of which, when did you learn how to put on makeup? "
Not only did he give Xiaotong chocolates, but he also gave her Clinique makeup and skincare products.
This brand was one of the more popular brands in the US and was much cheaper than in China. Because Xiaotong wanted it, Lu Zhou saw it at the duty-free shop and bought it.
Their family was poor and Xiaotong was very sensible. She never made any difficult requests.
Now that Lu Zhou was rich, he wouldn't mistreat his sister. Even though it was a bit early for high school students to buy makeup, Xiaotong thought of it as a way to make up for her vanity …
Xiaotong: "That's it? It's for a friend. "
Lu Zhou, who was drinking tea, was stunned when he heard this unexpected answer. He said, "You're … shopping for friends?"
"Yeah," said Xiaotong proudly. "I calculated the cost, a set of makeup and a set of skincare products can earn me more than a thousand dollars! When I go back to school the day after tomorrow, I'll give the things to Xiaotong and pay you back. "
Buy things!
When Lu Zhou heard this, he nearly spat out the tea in his mouth.
He was going to California to win glory for the country, so when he said this to his sister, he lost all his dignity.
Lu Zhou coughed twice and wiped his mouth. He then said, "I told you to pick a gift for yourself, why are you thinking about making money?"
"Ah … Brother, you're not upset, right?" said Xiaotong. She looked at her brother and hesitated for a bit. She then said quietly, "How about I give you half of the profits?"
This guy!
He doesn't reflect at all!
Lu Zhou sighed and waved his hand, "It's okay, you can keep the money for yourself. I don't need that … Also, don't worry about money all day. The most important thing for you right now is to study. Let me tell you, when your brother went back to Jin Ling University, the school gave me a special scholarship. Guess how much it was? "
Xiaotong gulped and asked without blinking, "How much?"
Lu Zhou stared at his sister and said in a confident tone, "One million!"
Xiaotong took a deep breath and looked at her brother in surprise. Her voice trembled as she said, "Jin Ling University scholarships … Are there really that many?"
"Of course, there are a lot of scholarships! As long as you have good grades, you have a chance to apply. " Lu Zhou nodded and said in a serious manner, "Therefore, knowledge is the greatest wealth. Don't lose the watermelon. Xiaotong, do you understand? "
Although, not everyone had so many of them …
Xiaotong said excitedly, "Brother, I understand, I promise I'll study hard! Get into Jin Ling University! I'll inherit your legacy! "
When Lu Zhou saw that Xiaotong's eyes had turned into the shape of a grandpa, he could not help but feel emotional.
No wonder they share the same mother.
They're so similar …
I hope that when she looks at the exam paper later, her eyes will still be like this.
Lu Zhou coughed and said, "You don't have to inherit my legacy … Anyway, I hope you don't worry about money. Our family isn't poor anymore. If you have any difficulties, I'll help you. Just focus on studying. If you're interested in money, you can study finance or accounting. "
The reason why he worked so hard at his part-time job was because he wanted Xiaotong to have a chance to go to university and enjoy a carefree campus life.
Otherwise, if it was just for his tuition and living expenses, his family would still be able to afford it if they tightened their belts.
However, who cared about him being a man?
