Lu Mingfei, why are you slaying dragons if you're not involved!

Chapter 243 Chinese Language LV2!
The steamer basket was lifted, and plump plumes of white steam rose from it, only to be dispersed by the owner's shouts. The large, plump buns and pastries were finally revealed, garnished with sesame seeds, red bean paste, or carrots to distinguish their varieties.

"Um……"

The old man took a deep breath of the smoky aroma, looking quite content. "Four each of sesame, red bean paste, dried plum, and pork buns, and custard buns, two baskets of steamed dumplings with chive filling, and two bowls of milk!"

"Okay, would you like it packed to go?"

Upon hearing the weight and noticing the old man's somewhat thin appearance, the boss instinctively asked...

"No, we'll eat here!"

The old man pointed to a seat set up to the side, where the food would be served later. The owner looked in the direction he was pointing, then paused, startled. There was another old man already seated at that table, much older than the one before him, with the deep marks of time etched on his body. Yet, despite this, the old man sat upright, his black suit without a single wrinkle looking as imposing as a young lion.

"Hey, Principal Angers, can't you at least try to do as the locals do?"

Zhang Shanfeng sat down in front of Angers. “This is just an ordinary roadside breakfast stall, but you’re dressed like you’re going to an international auction.”

There is indeed an international concert tonight, isn't there?

Angers glanced down at his outfit. "I just didn't expect you, Professor Zhang, to invite me to have breakfast at a roadside stall..."

Given Angers' status, he had long since passed the stage of needing to use external things to show off his identity, but it was precisely this status that forced him to pay attention to his image. He couldn't just wander around in a tank top and slippers like an old man in the park.

If that's the case, some ambitious guys will naturally have the idea of ​​challenging... Of course, I'm not afraid, but too many flies are annoying, aren't they?
Moreover, as the saying goes, "clothes make the man," and well-dressed individuals do indeed have an advantage in negotiations.

Angers really didn't expect Zhang Shanfeng to bring him here directly... He had to admit that this made him feel like his plans had been disrupted.

"To experience the local culture."

Meat buns, steamed dumplings, and milk were served one after another. Zhang Shanfeng casually gestured for Angers to help himself, then grabbed a meat bun and took a big bite. "Principal Angers, do you know what I disliked most about my part-time job at Kassel College?"

“Are the students too arrogant?” Angers thought seriously.

After reforming the education system at Kassel College, the college was no longer managed in a militarized manner. Students were no longer trained as soldiers and enjoyed a high degree of freedom. In addition, the students came from all over the world and often caused various troubles.

"That's no problem for me, they can't beat me."

Zhang Shanfeng carefully held up a half-eaten bun with its still-warm meat filling exposed. "It's food! Especially breakfast. There are very few options, mostly cold dishes, with only a few kinds like fried sausages and pork knuckles..."

"...I will speak with the cafeteria about hiring a Chinese chef."

Angers chose to compromise. In his view, the Chinese really had the most say when it came to food, whether it was the choice of ingredients, the cooking process, or the taste and variety.

"Even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice; no matter how good a chef is, he can hardly perform well without the right ingredients and tools."

Zhang Shanfeng responded, his tone carrying a deeper meaning.

"Similarly, even the best materials will be wasted if they fall into the hands of someone who doesn't know their value."

Angers raised an eyebrow: "Are you saying you're worried that Lu Mingfei will be exploited by the board of directors and his talent will be wasted?"

"Yes."

Zhang Shanfeng looked at the man opposite him, who was recognized as the number one mixed-race person in the world and the leader of the Secret Party. Angers was more than twice his age, but he was still tall and straight, and the light in his eyes was more intense than that of most young people.

"But that's not all."

The air suddenly seemed to press down, transforming from intangible to tangible. The surroundings remained noisy and chaotic, but the sounds seemed to gradually fade away. An invisible force surrounded the two of them, creating a private world and achieving a sense of tranquility amidst the noise.

"Elaborate."

Angers pulled out disposable chopsticks, skillfully picked up a steamed dumpling, dipped it in sauce, and put it in his mouth.

"The board of directors goes without saying. You and I both know very well that students are just resources to them. They will not hesitate to make 'resource exchanges' as long as they can obtain greater benefits."

Zhang Shanfeng said in a low voice, "I know they are no good, but since I learned about Greenland, I have a completely new understanding of how inhuman they are."

“I completely agree with that.”

Angers picked up the milk on the table and took a sip. The warm, sweet milk went down his throat, but his gaze remained sharp as a knife. "But, more than that?"

"Does it really need to be so blunt?"

Zhang Shanfeng smiled helplessly, "Principal, to be honest, I'm more worried about you than the Board of Directors."

"Why?" "Because you pay too much attention to Lu Mingfei."

Zhang Shanfeng picked up a dried plum and pork bun. Eating did not affect the conversation. The short pauses during chewing were the best time for thinking. Their conversation was imprisoned in place from the beginning by the power of the Word Spirit Yin Flow. Amidst the hustle and bustle, no one else could hear it.

“I can understand that since his parents are both S-level, he is likely to be very outstanding as their offspring. But what I can’t understand is why this excellence deserves your attention, especially since it started nearly six years ago.”

The principal remained silent for a long time: "Since you already know about Greenland, you should also know about the changes at Kassel College after that incident."

"The military system was transformed into a more liberal and relaxed university environment."

Zhang Shanfeng nodded. "But what does this have to do with Lu Mingfei?"

"I think what we need is no longer a well-trained army. When facing dragons, sheer numbers don't make much difference. What we need is a genius."

The principal paused slightly, then said, "Somebody."

"Savior?"

Zhang Shanfeng's heart stirred, and he thought to himself that this was somewhat similar to what Yu Ji had once said about a "destined super hybrid."

"In any war in this world, it starts with one man standing up, and then a group of men follow him to the battlefield. The group of men are important, but the first man is also indispensable."

Angers said slowly, "Lu Mingfei is the Somebody I chose. He is The One! A unique genius, a leader, a dragon slayer who even the Dragon King fears!"

"interesting."

Zhang Shanfeng was not moved by Angers' words, even though he already knew exactly how extraordinary Lu Mingfei was... The conversation finally entered the stage he had envisioned, and he could finally ask the question he had kept hidden from the beginning.

"But you left him here, at his uncle and aunt's house, and ignored his plight?"

He paused, "Principal, talking about the principle of 'destruction before construction' at a time like this is just fooling people. It's true that Lu Mingfei's transformation over the past ten days has turned iron into steel, but in most cases, even the best iron will become scrap after such torture, and scrap will only become slag after being forged a thousand times."

Or can you see the future and know that he will suddenly grow up in this very short period of time?

After a brief silence, Angers realized that the young man in front of him, who was only in his sixties, was not simple... at least he was young in his eyes, and the other party had come prepared today.

"Okay, don't be too surprised to hear this, I admit I don't know Lu Mingfei very well either, and I don't know what he can do."

Angers scratched his silver-white hair, slightly ruining his neatly combed style. "But I know he'll be S-class... There's a reason for that, but I can't tell you now."

"..."

Zhang Shanfeng's eyes flickered. Angers' words didn't contain much information, but they were enough for him to verify many of his previous conjectures, eliminate some of them, and elevate others to the level of "very likely".

Doing things is not like solving problems. Exam questions often have sufficient and necessary conditions and definite answers, but many things in reality do not. To explore and solve them, most of the time you can only rely on guessing, elimination, and a little bit of luck.

Zhang Shanfeng felt he was very lucky.

“I understand, Principal.”

He said, "Then, may I tell Lu Mingfei about this?"

“If I don’t let you, will you stop talking?” Angers smiled.

……

at the same time.

Having finished breakfast, Lu Mingfei threw himself back into his studies.

His already precarious Chinese language proficiency was about to crumble, and at that moment he had no mind to think about anything else.
