Chapter 310 Let It Go Back

Inside a Chicago train station.

"One dollar! Just one dollar! (One dollar! Just one dollar!)"

Xia Mi stood behind several boxes of water and shouted at the people marching outside.

"Ahem," Lu Mingfei coughed twice and reminded, "Junior sister, your sentence is a common sentence used by American homeless people when begging."

"Ah?" Xia Mi turned his head and blinked, a little confused, "Senior brother, how do you know?"

"How do you know?" Lu Mingfei showed a rather complicated expression, "You will understand when you get to school and meet a man named Fingel."

"There isn't much water left. Do you want to put in some more?"

Lu Mingfei stood on the far left, Xia Mi stood in the middle, and Chu Zihang stood on the right side of Xia Mi. He lowered his head and counted the remaining mineral water and the people lining up outside, and said.

"It doesn't look like it's enough..." Lu Mingfei nodded, turned to Xia Mi and said, "Junior sister, you can drive, right? You can drive to buy some goods."

"Although I passed the domestic driver's license test, I don't have an American driver's license." Xia Mi shook his head.

"It doesn't matter," Lu Mingfei said, "The car outside is a McLaren F1 I borrowed from a friend. This is not in China. Which policeman dares to check the driver's license of this car?"

"How much does this car cost?" Xia Mi didn't know much about cars, but judging from Lu Mingfei's appearance, this car shouldn't be cheap.

"My friend said he spent 650,000 when he bought it." Lu Mingfei said.

"Dollar?"

"GBP."

"Holy crap! Senior brother, do you know such a rich friend?" Xia Mi's eyes lit up.

"Senior Brother Chu also knows him." Lu Mingfei shrugged.

"Caesar?" Chu Zihang asked.

When Lu Mingfei mentioned his rich friends, his first reaction was Caesar. This was not to blame for his habitual thinking, but mainly because Caesar always left a very deep impression on those around him of being a nouveau riche and a noble man.

"It's Wiglaf," Lu Mingfei said. "She lent her car to Xiaoqiang, and I borrowed it again. Brother Caesar's cars are more showy than the other, which doesn't suit my taste."

Lu Mingfei took out the key and handed it to Xia Mi: "Go ahead, junior sister, the destination is on the navigation, just follow it."

"Ahem," Xia Mi coughed slightly, a little embarrassed, "Senior brother, my driving skills are actually very poor. I only relied on luck to pass the driver's license test..."

"Junior sister, that's not what you said when you just applied to join the partnership," Lu Mingfei said with false eyes, "You said that you are hardworking, smart, and capable of doing any dirty work, and groceries, so Senior Brother Chu and I reluctantly agreed to your joining... …”

"I'll go." Chu Zihang volunteered.

Xia Mi looked touched.

"Oh... forget it, I'll go and you two will stay and look after the store." Lu Mingfei sighed, put the key back in his pocket, and walked outside.

Senior brother, senior brother, in order to give you two a chance to be alone, I, the big boss, have been reduced to running errands to purchase goods. You two must make progress quickly and don't let me down.

Lu Mingfei left the stall, leaving only Chu Zihang and Xia Mi standing busy behind several boxes of water.

Xia Mi was responsible for collecting money. Her eyes lit up every time she took a banknote or coin from a customer. Chu Zihang was beside him and handed the water to the customer.

The sun was still high outside the station, and the strong sunlight burned the air. The bright light reflected on the glass billboards and floor-to-ceiling windows of the office buildings, and the crowds were still bustling.

At the station, Xia Mi fixed her hair to one side with a hairpin and tied her long hair into a neat ponytail. Chu Zihang stood next to her, with the sleeves of his white shirt rolled up. The two of them stood behind several boxes, like It's the stall owner and his wife.

"Senior brother, when are we going to school to report?" Xia Mi asked while collecting the money.

“It will take a week for the railroad workers’ strike to end,” Chu Zihang said. “Judging from their slogans, it will take a week, but the news says that negotiations between railroad workers’ representatives and the Chicago Railroad Authority are not going well, so the possibility of extending the strike cannot be ruled out. "

"Ah?" Xia Mi's eyes widened, "If the workers go on strike, we can't go to school?"

Chu Zihang gave Xia Mi a strange look: "I have to take the CC1000 train to go to school. The station workers went on strike, so the train was naturally stopped."

"No," Xia Mi shook his head with a very surprised expression, "I mean, shouldn't the school be private? Then don't the trains to the school run independently? Did the school conductors also go on strike?"

"The train itself is operated independently," Chu Zihang explained, "but the school is not involved in the operation of the station, and the switchboard workers and dispatch center workers are also on strike. The school has not arranged staff for these two positions, so the train is now running Don’t come in.”

"Ah? Where's Senior Brother Lu? Isn't it said that he has a very high status in the school? Is there a special car to pick him up? Then we can both take advantage of it." Xia Mi proposed a new idea.

"No," Chu Zihang shook his head, "He said that he had asked before. The school is now a little short of manpower and can't spare anyone to pick him up, so he proposed to me to set up a stall here because in a short time Neither of us can go back to school."

After a pause, Chu Zihang added: "You can't go to school either."

"What should I do? I only have forty dollars left with me. How will I survive this week..." Xia Mi was desperate.

"Lu Mingfei and I have booked a hotel nearby. If you don't mind, you can..." Chu Zihang hesitated and suggested.

"Living together?" Xia Mi said in surprise.

Chu Zihang felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Xia Mi's words, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"I will open a room for you alone," Chu Zihang said, "I will pay for it..."

"That's so embarrassing," Xia Mi blinked, "Senior brother, just leave me a place on the floor."

Chu Zihang:? ? ?

…

Inside the McLaren F1, Lu Mingfei leaned on the driver's seat and drove toward the place of purchase in boredom, with Katyusha playing on the on-board computer.

It is indeed the car of Wiglaf, who comes from a family of iron-blooded dragon slayers. Although it looks like an ordinary supercar, it has undergone many hidden and practical modifications inside, and even some weapons are hidden.

The screen of the on-board computer suddenly lit up, Katyusha stopped abruptly, and a girl wearing a white dress appeared on the screen: "Researcher Lu Mingfei, good afternoon."

"Norma? What do you want from me?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Sorry, due to the strike at Chicago Station, the CC1000 train cannot arrive on time. The college has prepared a special plane for you and will arrive in fifteen minutes..."

"Let it go back." Lu Mingfei interrupted.

"What?" Norma thought Lu Mingfei might have said something wrong, so she confirmed again.

"I said let the special plane go back," Lu Mingfei said, "When the railway workers end their strike, I will take the train back."

"Why are you doing this?" Norma was puzzled.

"As an outstanding Chinese young man who was born under the red flag and grew up in the new era," Lu Mingfei said seriously, "I want to use practical actions to support the strike struggle of comrades in foreign countries. If they go on strike for one day here, I will Provide them with water for a day.”

"I see," Norma's delicate little face showed a look of awe, "Do you need me to reply to the principal for this reason?"

"Well, that's it," Lu Mingfei nodded, and added, "By the way, tell the principal that if he lets the special plane take me back in advance, I will go there every day until the comrades of the railway workers end the strike. Find him and afternoon tea in his office.”

"Okay." Norma nodded, disappeared from the screen, and thoughtfully helped Lu Mingfei resume playing the song.

Humming along with the melody, Lu Mingfei was suddenly curious if Ling could sing "Katyusha". Why not ask her when he got back?

But we have to wait for railway traffic to resume first.

Supporting the worker comrades was one of the reasons why he refused to fly to the school. In addition, he could use this as an excuse to fish rationally.

And the most important thing...

Junior sister, junior sister, senior brother, I have created opportunities for you. If you can't defeat senior brother Chu, then I can only go back and study the wine that senior brother Ye Sheng and senior sister Aji drank in Ling's palace.

Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

There is another chapter during the day, Gu! (Not an April Fool's joke)

Also, there might be some inappropriate extras on April Fools’ Day...right? Hmm... April Fool's Day probably won't update on April Fool's Day Goo!
