Chapter 484 Xiao Ai's New Home
The house in the community near the school is about to arrive after the annual lease period. Now that he has his own house, there is no need for Lu Zhou to renew the lease and leave Xiao Ai there.
After the work of years ago came to an end, Lu Zhou spent two days directing professionals to transfer the server to Zhongshan International's villa.
There are also those cameras and alarm devices installed in the house. Naturally, these things cannot be left to the landlord. It just so happens that his new home is also needed, so they moved here together.
After he was done, looking at the chassis in the room, a smile appeared on Lu Zhou's face.
All the cameras are connected to Xiaoai's server. No matter what kind of accident happens, no matter whether people are at home or not, Lu Zhou can know the situation here immediately through his mobile phone.
"From now on, this is your new home."
Xiao Ai: [This is not the new home I want (grievance.jpg)]
Lu Zhou coughed lightly: "Hey, don't make trouble."
Xiao Ai: [(beating the table.jpg) (going to cry.jpg)...]
Regardless of whether Xiao Ai is satisfied with her new home, after comforting her, Lu Zhou went to the supermarket and bought some ingredients.
Xiaotong will come here for dinner in a while, and help him clean up the house by the way.
My parents will come over tomorrow.
Before his father and mother came back, he had to tidy up at least one guest room, not to mention that Xiaotong was going to celebrate the New Year here this year, so she had to tidy up her room by herself.
Putting the purchased ingredients by the sink, Lu Zhou was about to wash the dishes, when his phone suddenly vibrated, and then the smart voice that comes with the phone rang.
"Master, there are guests at the door."
"understood."
Throwing the plastic gloves he just put on by the pool, Lu Zhou turned around and left the kitchen, walking towards the entrance.
...
Looking at Xiaotong standing at the door and ringing the doorbell, Han Mengqi said with some anxiety.
"I came here without saying hello in advance, is it not too good?"
Xiaotong smiled and said, "Don't worry, my brother is not such a fussy man."
At this time, footsteps came from behind the door, and the sound of opening the door was heard not long after.
"Here...Han Mengqi?" He opened the door and was about to greet Xiaotong to enter the room. Lu Zhou suddenly noticed the little girl standing behind her, and continued in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Han Mengqi said somewhat cautiously: "Xiaotong said you needed help, so I came here together... Well, it didn't bother you, did it?"
"How come? Come in quickly." After making way, Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Speaking of which, don't you want to go to Shanghai for Chinese New Year this year?"
Hearing this sentence, Han Mengqi smiled reluctantly, as if she was not very willing to answer this question.
"Okay, okay, if you ask too much, you will be hated by girls."
Interrupting this slightly heavy topic, Xiaotong took Han Mengqi's hand carelessly, walked into the room as if returning to her own home, and put on slippers.
After entering the door, Han Mengqi looked around the living room, feeling deeply moved.
I remember that five years ago, my master was still teaching me math problems for a few hundred yuan of supplementary tuition. Unexpectedly, in only five years, Master has become so powerful.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little discouraged.
No matter how hard she tried, no matter how much time he spent in the library and laboratory, she couldn't keep up with him.
Whether it's knowledge or status...
I always feel that he has gone to a place far away from me.
After finding a spare pair of slippers for Han Mengqi, Lu Zhou said kindly, "The house hasn't been tidied up yet, so it might look a bit messy, I hope you don't mind."
After recovering, Han Mengqi whispered, "It's okay, I'm here to help."
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Let's forget about helping, let her clean up Xiaotong's things by herself, and you can just sit on the sofa and rest."
"How can I do that?" Han Mengqi insisted, "Don't underestimate me, I am no longer the person I was five years ago, and I can still do housework!"
Although he didn't want the guests to help clean the house, seeing how motivated she was, Lu Zhou, who couldn't be persuaded no matter how hard he tried, let her go.
In fact, when the house was just transferred some time ago, he asked a housekeeping company to clean it.
But after not living there for so long, many places are covered with a layer of dust.
The most critical thing is the beds in the guest rooms, which are left unmade.
Do you want to buy a sweeping robot or something? Throw it to Xiaoai to control.
Anyway, the artificial mentally handicapped is idle all day long, why not use the waste...
The more Lu Zhou thought about it, the more he felt it was necessary.
...
Soon it was time for lunch, and the three of them sat at the dining table.
Lu Zhou, who hadn't cooked for a while, showed his sister and apprentice his skills and cooked a table of delicious dishes.
It was a long time since she ate the meal cooked by Master, and Han Mengqi showed a happy expression on her face.
While eating, Lu Zhou chatted with Xiao Tong, "By this time next year, you will almost start thinking about the future. How about it? Do you have any plans after graduation?"
Xiaotong said with a clear goal: "I plan to study abroad."
Lu Zhou: "Is the goal set?"
Xiaotong: "Oxford University, when I went there as an exchange student in the summer, I already got a letter of recommendation... By the way, brother, brother, can you write a letter of recommendation for me too?"
In the QS ranking, the economics major ranks second in the world. The economics major at Oxford University is indeed good, but it is more academic than applied.
Looking at Xiaotong's pitiful eyes, Lu Zhou couldn't help but smile.
"No problem, it's a small matter."
At this moment, the phone's ringtone suddenly rang.
Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Lu Zhou pushed away the chair and stood up.
"I'm going to answer the phone."
After finishing speaking, he left the dining room, stood at the stairs in the corridor, took out his mobile phone and glanced at the screen.
The caller is unknown, the number is still an international call.
By the way, don’t these foreigners know the next WeChat? Don't have to pay the phone bill to the communication company.
Lu Zhou: "Hello?"
Creber: "It's me!"
Hearing the familiar German English and thinking of the email he sent two days ago, Lu Zhou immediately guessed who was calling, so he said in a pleasant manner.
"Professor Kreber? What's the matter?"
Kleiber, who was sitting in the lobby of the waiting room, took a deep breath and said, "I'm in Dubai now."
Lu Zhou: "...Dubai?"
Kleiber couldn't help complaining: "Yes, all the flights from Germany to China are full. My assistant booked the ticket for me. This is the fastest transfer plan."
Lu Zhou: "When will you arrive?"
Creber: "The day after tomorrow."
"The day after tomorrow?" Lu Zhou froze for a moment, then frowned, "Why did it take so long?"
Professor Kreber said resentfully: "The flight is delayed."
Lu Zhou: "..."
This……
It's really a house leak and it rains all night.
Hearing what happened to Kleiber, Lu Zhou didn't know how to comfort him.
After a pause, Creber sighed, and continued: "Actually, before I arrive at Jinling, I have to transfer from Shanghai to Beijing, but I'm sure I won't be able to catch that flight now... Do you have any questions?" How can I get me from Shangjing to Jinling?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou immediately understood the trouble Kleiber encountered.
To catch up with the population migration during the Spring Festival travel season, no matter what kind of train ticket, train ticket or air ticket, it is really not easy to buy it if you don’t buy it a few days or a week in advance.
Lu Zhou: "I'll give you a call. After you get off the plane in Beijing, just call the phone. Someone will help you solve the problem of the ticket."
Creber hesitated: "Phone? Will it work?"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "You will know after you try it."
