The rental period of the house in the neighborhood near the school was almost up. Since Lu Zhou already had his own house, there was no need to renew the lease and leave Xiao Ai there.
Lu Zhou spent two days directing the professionals to move the server to his mansion in Zhongshan International.
There were also the cameras and alarms installed in the house. He obviously couldn't leave these things with the landlord. It just so happened that his new house could use them, so he moved them over.
After the job was done, Lu Zhou looked at the computer box in the room and smiled.
All of the cameras were connected to Xiao Ai's server. No matter what happened, Lu Zhou would be able to know the situation through his phone.
"From now on, this is your new home."
Xiao Ai: [This is not the new home I want. (wrong.jpg)]
Lu Zhou coughed and said, "Good boy, don't mess around."
Xiao Ai: [(slamming the table.jpg) (crying) …]
Regardless of whether or not Xiao Ai was satisfied with the new home, Lu Zhou went to the supermarket and bought some ingredients.
Xiao Tong was coming over to eat, so Lu Zhou could help him clean up the house.
Tomorrow, his father and mother would come over.
Before his parents came back, he had to at least clean up a guest room. Not to mention that Xiao Tong was also spending Chinese New Year here, so she had to clean up her own room.
Lu Zhou placed the ingredients next to the sink and was about to wash the vegetables. Suddenly, his phone vibrated. Then, he heard the smart voice on his phone.
"Master, there's a guest at the door."
"Okay."
Lu Zhou threw the plastic gloves on the sink and walked out of the kitchen. He then walked toward the entrance.
…
Han Mengqi looked at Xiao Tong, who was standing at the door and pressing the doorbell.
She asked, "I didn't tell you in advance, is that okay?"
Xiao Tong smiled and said, "Don't worry, my brother isn't a man who likes to fuss about things."
At this moment, footsteps came from behind the door, and not long after, the sound of the door opening could be heard.
"You've come … Han Mengqi?" He opened the door and was about to invite Xiaotong into the house when Lu Zhou suddenly noticed the little girl standing behind her. He asked in surprise, "Why are you here too?"
Han Mengqi said somewhat cautiously, "Xiao Tong said that you needed help, so I came along … Um, I didn't disturb you, did I?"
"How could that be? Come on in. " Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Speaking of which, aren't you going to Shanghai for Chinese New Year?"
Hearing this, Han Mengqi forced a smile, as if she was unwilling to answer this question.
"Okay, okay. Girls will hate you if you pry too much."
Xiao Tong interrupted the slightly heavy topic and grabbed Han Mengqi's hand. They walked into the house as if they were going back to their own home and changed into slippers.
After entering the house, Han Mengqi looked around the living room and couldn't help but feel emotional.
She remembered that five years ago, her master was teaching her math problems for a few hundred yuan. She didn't expect her master to become so powerful in just five years.
Thinking about this, she suddenly felt a little discouraged.
No matter how hard she tried, no matter how much time he spent in the library and the laboratory, she couldn't catch up to him.
Whether it was knowledge or status …
She felt like he was far away from her.
Lu Zhou found a pair of spare slippers for Han Mengqi and said, "The house hasn't been cleaned yet, so it might look a bit messy. I hope you don't mind."
Han Mengqi snapped back to reality and said quietly, "It's fine, I'm here to help."
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Forget about helping. Xiao Tong can clean up her own things. You can just rest on the sofa."
"How can I do that?" Han Mengqi insisted, "Don't look down on me. I'm not who I was five years ago. I can still do housework!"
Although she didn't want a guest to help her clean the house, she was so motivated that Lu Zhou wouldn't budge no matter what, so she just let her be.
Actually, when the house was just transferred, he hired a housekeeping company to clean the house.
But after not living for so long, a lot of places were covered with a layer of dust.
The most important thing was the bed in the guest room, which was left unmade.
Should I buy a cleaning robot or something? I can give it to Xiao Ai to control.
Since the artificial retard is idle all day, why not make use of it …
The more Lu Zhou thought about it, the more he felt like it was necessary.
…
Soon, it was lunchtime. The three of them sat at the dining table.
Lu Zhou, who hadn't cooked for a while, showed off his cooking skills to his sister and apprentice.
Han Mengqi had a happy expression on her face when she finally ate her master's cooking.
While eating, Lu Zhou said to Xiao Tong, "This time next year, you should start thinking about your future. What do you plan on doing after graduation? "
Xiao Tong said, "I plan on studying abroad."
Lu Zhou: "Do you have a goal?"
Xiaotong: "Oxford University. I already got a recommendation letter when I went there as an exchange student during the summer … Oh right, brother, brother, can you write a recommendation letter for me too?"
The economics major was ranked second in the world on the QS ranking. The economics major at the University of Oxford was good, but it was more academic.
Lu Zhou couldn't help but smile at Xiao Tong's pitiful eyes.
"No problem, it's a piece of cake."
At this moment, his phone suddenly rang.
Lu Zhou put down the chopsticks in his hand and stood up.
"I'm going to take this."
He left the dining room and stood at the stairs. He took out his phone and looked at the screen.
The caller was unknown, but the number was an international call.
Why don't these foreigners use WeChat? Why do they have to pay the phone bill?
Lu Zhou: "Hello?"
Keriber: "It's me!"
When Lu Zhou heard the familiar German accent, he thought about the email he sent two days ago. He immediately guessed who was calling, so he spoke with a pleasant tone.
"Professor Keriber? What's up? "
Keriber, who was sitting in the airport lounge, took a deep breath and said, "I'm in Dubai."
Lu Zhou: "… Dubai?"
Keriber couldn't help but complain, "Yeah, all of the flights from Germany to China are full. My assistant booked the ticket for me, it's the fastest way."
Lu Zhou: "When will you arrive?"
Keriber: "The day after tomorrow."
"The day after tomorrow?" Lu Zhou paused for a second and frowned. He said, "Why is it taking so long?"
Professor Keriber said, "The flight is delayed."
Lu Zhou: "…"
This …
When it rains, it pours.
Lu Zhou didn't know how to comfort Keriber after hearing what happened to him.
Keriber paused for a second and sighed. He then said, "Actually, before I get to Jinling, I still have to transfer from Beijing, but I definitely won't be able to catch that flight … Do you have any way to get me from Beijing to Jinling?"
When Lu Zhou heard this, he immediately knew what kind of trouble Keriber was in.
During the Chinese New Year holiday, it didn't matter if it was a train ticket or a plane ticket, it was hard to buy one without at least a few days in advance.
Lu Zhou: "I'll give you a phone number. After you get off the plane in Beijing, just call them. Someone will help you with your ticket."
Keriber hesitated for a second and said, "Phone number? Will it work? "
