The interview at the museum ended successfully. Wei Ran said goodbye to Deputy Director Lu Ren and the person in charge of the interview, and then took the flight back to Kazan without stopping that evening. Only this time, it was Mr. Culp who was waiting for him at the airport.
While "Kazan University" Culp was speaking, he threw the car keys to Wei Ran.
"Why are you going to Kazan University?" Wei Ran asked curiously as he took the car keys.
"Introduce your teachers and classmates to you" Culp explained nonchalantly, then lowered the window, lit a cigarette to himself, and explained slowly, "This is This is actually the first time you have met."
Wei Ran opened his mouth and didn't ask any more questions. He honestly started the car and drove in the direction of Kazan University according to the navigation prompts. Along the way, Culp didn't say anything else. He just took out his mobile phone and made a call before arriving at his destination.
When Wei Ran parked the car in front of the school, Culp immediately opened the door and got out of the car. He walked familiarly to an old man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties at the school gate. . Seeing this, Wei Ran quickly turned off the engine and ran after him.
"Victor, long time no see." The old man patted Wei Ran warmly on the shoulder, "How are you preparing for your graduation thesis?"
"Um... ."
Have we met? Wei Ran glanced at this old guy he had never seen before with a blank look on his face, and after a moment he replied equally warmly, "Sorry, teacher, I haven't had time to work on my thesis yet, but I will definitely finish it before graduation."
"I have never doubted this. Okay, let's go in quickly. In addition, you should call me boss instead of teacher."
After saying that, the old man turned around simply , and Culp nodded to Wei Ran, then turned around and walked towards the car parked on the side of the road. Looking at 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 graduate tutor. Your main field of study is war history. This is the end of your graduate studies at Kazan University. Transcripts and some research projects you have participated in, as well as two articles you published in journals last year on the research on the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Berlin in the Soviet Patriotic War."
This. The old man led Wei Ran around the campus and spoke slowly in a moderate voice. At the same time, he handed a file bag to Wei Ran, "Before you get to my office, familiarize yourself with the contents." ”
Hearing this, Wei Ran quickly opened the file bag in his hand under the dim light of the street lamp. In addition to a particularly detailed transcript, there were also things like student ID cards and books. Various things such as library borrowing cards, as well as a table in the form of a catalogue, and in this table are all the titles of some publications published in his own name and the corresponding time and date.Journal name.
After he hurriedly browsed through these things that were definitely forgeries in surprise, the old man named Kajik took the file bag back, stopped and motioned to Wei Ran to stand by the roadside. Sit down.
"Your mentor, that is, me, Kajik Volonin"
The old man put his hand on the back of the bench and said slowly, "I only like to drink. Beer, never alcohol. I go fishing on the Volga River every Saturday. The location is not fixed. In winter, the time for fishing is to play tennis at the Kazan Stadium. I drive an old car. The white BMW car always makes an abnormal sound when it starts, but I have been too lazy to repair it.
I go to the Orthodox Church on Bowman Pedestrian Street every weekend because I am a devout Christian. . In addition, I also like to collect matryoshka dolls, so every year on various festivals, you will give me a set of matryoshka dolls as gifts.
Fourthly, I like to eat rabbits, ride vegetables, and smoke hookahs. , but in fact, the restaurant I go to most often is the Georgian restaurant across the road to the east of the school. Because the owner of that restaurant is my wife, I often take you and your classmates there to talk about things. Okay. , Now repeat what I just said."
Hearing this, Wei Ran quickly repeated what the other party said out of order.
The old man named Kajik corrected some mistakes in Wei Ran's words. After Wei Ran repeated it again, he nodded and continued, "Now let's talk about your problem. Wei Ran Ke Duo, when you were a graduate student, you lived outside the school and rarely interacted with others. You were like an overly diligent and studious Chinese international student.
The only person who has ever crossed paths with you is you. Besides me, there is your classmate, Maya Swanidze, an international student from Kazakhstan. She often borrows your car and even wanted to be your girlfriend, but you rejected her because of her faith. < /p>
In addition, Maya’s interpersonal relationships in school are very good, but because you are busy with other things, you rarely interact with classmates other than Maya. However, because Maya and I often talk about you, so The other classmates also know something about you."
At the other party's signal, Wei Ran repeated what the other party had just said.
"Okay, now go to my office, and then let Maya take you around the school."
As he said that, Kajik slowly stood up and took Wei Ran along the As he walked the streets on campus, he was introduced to the surrounding buildings, and finally led him to an office on the top floor of a remote old building.
"Hi! Victor, Happy New Year! Did you bring me a gift?"
As soon as he entered the door, a tall, beautiful girl with black hair greeted him enthusiastically. He said hello, and then without waiting for Wei Ran's reply, he asked again, "Is your interview over? When will it be broadcast?"
"What idiot would refuse a girl with such a bulging front and back?" whenMy girlfriend..." Wei Ran muttered to himself and replied with a smile, "It only ended at noon. I don't know when it will be broadcast. "
"Okay Maya, take Victor to see his things, then take him around the school and come back in two hours. "
At this point, the old guy named Kajik reminded with a smile on his face, "Maya, although I'm sorry, I heard Victor say that he already has a girlfriend. She is a beautiful mixed-race girl. "
"Thank you for reminding me, I won't let him take advantage of me. "
After saying this, the girl named Maya hooked up with the guard, then walked out of the office, got into the next room, and turned on the light.
< p>“This is your place,” Maya said, pointing to a table by the window, “Everything on it belongs to you. ”Wei Ran glanced at the messy information on the table, as well as a notebook that hadn’t had time to shut down and the safety buckle pendant with a strong Chinese style on the drawer, and finally couldn’t help but whisper. Asked, "Maya, there are really people..."
Maya smiled, but did not give any response.
"Since when? "Wei Ran asked again without giving up.
"Your curiosity will get you into trouble"
Maya said, throwing Wei Ran a bunch of keys, "Familiar Check out the things in the drawer, and then I'll take you for a walk around the school. "
"Wait a moment"
Wei Ran took the key and opened the drawers of the table one by one. There were not many things in this drawer, except for some journals and In addition to the printed papers signed by Kajik, himself and Maya, there was also a set of Chinese chess, two erotic magazines, several business cards of Time Studio and some shopping items with a wide range of dates. In addition to the ticket, there was also a scarf.
But he clearly remembered that this scarf was a gift given to him by Suisui last Christmas, and he usually kept it in the off-road vehicle. In the car, why did it appear here?
She glanced at Maya subconsciously, but the latter misunderstood Wei Ran's meaning, thought he had finished reading, and immediately took him out of this old building. Starting from the old building, he visited every building in the school. When the agreed two hours were up, Maya immediately took Wei Ran back to Kajik's office.
"No more. Unexpectedly, 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 you have the chance to meet again in the future, I hope you will still remember me. classmate. "
"Thank you..." Wei Ran said in a sincere tone.
"You're welcome" Maya hesitated for a moment, but finally said nothing more. She opened the door and motioned for Wei Ran to go in. As for herself, she simply turned around and walked into the stairwell.
“Remember everything? Kajik, who had been waiting in the office, asked with a smile.
"I barely remember it," Wei Ran closed the door and replied with a numb look on his face.
“It’s okay”
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 use those things inside. There’s too much to remember, just remember what I told you before.”
“Is there anything else?” Wei Ran asked.
"Remember to complete your graduation thesis as soon as possible"
Kajik threatened with a smile, "If your graduation thesis does not satisfy me, not only will you not get your diploma, but also They also have to pay me and Maya 200,000 U.S. dollars in service fees each.”
“I’m always asking for money...” Wei Ran muttered to himself, but felt inexplicably relieved.
"Okay, it seems you have nothing to ask."
Kajik picked up the hookah on the table and took a sip, "This is the period before graduation." Time, if you have time, you can come here often. Since I am your tutor after all, I will help you with the thesis, but don’t think about being lazy. ”
< p>"Don't worry, boss"Wei Ran smiled and promised, "As long as I have time, I will definitely come to you to help with my thesis. Even after I graduate, I will come often. Yours."
"Go to the parking lot, that bastard Culp is waiting for you."
After finishing speaking, Kajik picked up the file he had first shown to Wei Ran. Bag, "The things here will be given to you together with your diploma. Good luck to you, Victor."
"Thank you, Mr. Kajik, and goodbye."
< p>Wei Ran bowed very formally to the mentor he met for the first time, then simply turned around and left the office, walking slowly towards the parking lot in the night.When he got into the car again, Culp was already sitting in the driver's seat, but he was not in a hurry to start the car, but asked Wei Ran with a smile, "You must have something." Is that the right thing to ask?"
"When did this start?" Wei Ran, who had been holding back for a while, pointed to the window and asked.
Culp smiled, "Starting from the day after you used those gold sands to pay for the first year's tuition."
"Including the girl named Maya?" Wei Ran Zhui asked.
Culp nodded, "Including her."
"Is it necessary..." Wei Ran asked, dumbfounded.
"You paid the tuition," Culp said half-truthfully, "Of course, the main reason is Mr. Nicholas, otherwise you would not enjoy so many resources."
< p>"Do you want me to pay some tuition fees?"Wei Ran asked proactively. If he thought it was expensive when he first heard about the tuition fees at Hongqi Forest Farm, now, he not only thinks it is cheap , but it was cheap which made him a little uneasy.
"TimeThe film studio has already paid for your tuition."
Culp didn't start the car until this moment. After slowly leaving the school, he asked, "Victor, what are your plans after graduation? "
Hearing this, Wei Ran shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You are not the first one to ask."
"So? "
"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 plan to turn my studio into a Moved to Kazan. Culp, maybe I need your help. "
"What help? "Culp asked with great interest.
"I want to buy a house," Wei Ran said with his fingers. "This house must not only meet the needs of the studio, but also be large enough. of living space. "
"The Hongqi Forest Farm is big enough," Culp gave an option before Weiran finished speaking.
"And the key is to park in an urban area with convenient transportation. "Direction"
Wei Ran quickly added another temporary request. Simply speaking, Hongqi Forest Farm is indeed a good choice, but he doesn't want to hang around under the noses of Karlp and others all the time, not to mention Karl. Pu and the others, just Mr. Gorbachev, the silly dog at the Hongqi Forest Farm, can give him or Ji Ma nightmares for several nights in a row.
"I will help you pay attention," Culp said. Hun agreed nonchalantly, "It's almost a week before you go to Hongqi Forest Farm for class. How will you arrange this time? "
"I plan to find a house as soon as possible" Wei Ran immediately stated his plan.
"So urgent? "Karp raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Something happened in Volgograd? ”
“No, no!” "Wei Ran quickly waved his hand and explained the situation at Suisui and his plans after graduation.
"Just for this? Culp glanced at Wei Ran, who was sitting in the passenger seat, with a strange expression, "You have the nerve to ask me for help with this kind of thing?" "
"This is also..." Wei Ran grinned, "Actually, it's quite important. "
"What an enviable young man." Culp shook his head helplessly, "In this case, I will help you ask about the house tomorrow. ”
