"Lu Mingfei? Is this the legendary Lu Mingfei? I finally see him alive!"

“You’ve seen a dead person before…” An auntie looked at Lu Mingfei as if he were her future son-in-law. “But this young man’s temperament is really amazing. After all, he is a top student recommended to a prestigious American university. Look at his clothes, his conversation, and the women around him. I asked around, and most people can’t get into Raphael Academy. Even if you’re admitted to Tsinghua University, it’s useless because they look at your overall quality. But this young man was recommended with a full scholarship!”

"Raphael College? I'm talking about Maguire College! That's Cassel College!" the well-informed old man corrected him, "This young man is more than just a student. He has a great personality. I heard that the mayor is discussing with the principal whether to award him an Outstanding Citizen!"

"He is really promising. If my son is that promising, I will buy him everything he wants!" A beautiful lady dressed in fashionable clothes looked at Lu Mingfei with stars in her eyes. "I heard that he is not only a top student, but also a great money-maker. He donated so much money and didn't ask his family to pay a penny!"

Lu Mingfei was confused by what he heard. What outstanding citizen? What donation? The rumor was getting more and more outrageous. Who was this talking about?

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei suddenly raised his head and looked at the two red banners.

One of them is Chu Zihang.

"Chu Zihang, a 2008 graduate of Shilan Middle School, was a city-level three-good student. He was admitted to the Cassel Private Academy in the United States with the highest score in the school. He has been awarded the city's outstanding student representative many times."

The other one is undoubtedly Lu Mingfei.

"Lu Mingfei, a 2009 graduate of Shilan Middle School, a city-level three-good student, was recommended to enter the Kassel Private Academy in the United States with the first place in the city, and received full scholarships from both the academy and the professor."

In addition, there is a line of exquisite small characters under the two red entries, marking the student's achievements outside of academics.

Chapter 936 Outstanding Alumni Lu Mingfei

"I represented Shilan Middle School in the city youth basketball team and won the runner-up in the national league; I represented Shilan Middle School in the national mathematics competition, physics competition, and English competition, and won national awards; I was on the city model student publicity homepage many times."

This is the additional content on Chu Zihang’s red banner.

Each of these "feats" would be astonishing when they were in school, but it is hard to imagine that there is a student who has won so many honors with excellent academic performance and athletic talent. If Chu Zihang's photo was hung on the top of the banner, everyone would be surprised to find that this is definitely a perfect boy with all-round development in morality, intelligence, physique, aesthetics and labor.

Such an honor is already a ceiling-level figure among students across the country, not to mention that he is a rich boy who wore Burberry scarves in high school and drove Mercedes-Benz and Maybach at home. No wonder Chu Zihang has always been a celebrity in Shilan Middle School, and the deeds of "Senior Brother Chu" are still widely circulated after graduation.

But compared with the content on the other red banner, these honors that can make you dominate your entire student days actually seem a bit "ordinary".

"Represented Shilan High School in the quiz contest and won the city championship; Founding member of the 'Shilan High School Alumni Foundation'; Provided a large amount of funding for the renovation of Shilan High School; Lifetime Honorary Alumni of Shilan High School; Donated a damaged elevated intersection to the city during a natural disaster and was nominated as the city's Outstanding Citizen of 2011."

What is an outstanding citizen? This is what an outstanding citizen is!

Look at this thought, this determination, this drive for action, this spirit of regarding money as something outside of one's body, this level of personality of repaying one's alma mater and repaying society... He donated money to renovate the school and donated an elevated road to the city. Who would believe that this is a graduate who has only been there for two years? This is much more real than those so-called "philanthropists" who only know how to shout slogans and advertise!

No wonder these uncles, aunts, and grandpas look at Lu Mingfei with admiration and worship. If a student like this appears on campus, wouldn’t he be a living star?

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Lu Mingfei was a little confused now. He remembered the first item on the red banner, which was about representing Shilan Middle School in the knowledge competition and winning the city championship. But when did he, Lu Mingfei, do these things that were more exaggerated than the last?

Could it be that some big entrepreneur in the city has the same name as him? This was Lu Mingfei's subconscious thought.

But why would someone with the same name donate money to renovate Shilan Middle School? Could it be that the mysterious entrepreneur named "Lu Mingfei" also graduated from Shilan Middle School? Could such a coincidence happen in the world?

And the elevated road was damaged by natural disasters... A possibility gradually emerged in Lu Mingfei's mind.

“Potato chips.” Lu Mingfei said in a dark tone, his eyes full of resentment, “So all my money…was wasted by you like this!”

"So Brother Lu is really promising. He is totally on a different level from us." Xu Miaomiao sighed, "Even Brother Zhao can't compare to him... No, Brother Lu's spiritual realm is even lower than Chu Zihang's. If he can still make it to the "This Beast Should Be Killed List" after graduation, Brother Lu will definitely be the first!"

"Hey, how can such good deeds and good deeds be on the 'This beast should be killed list'? It should be on the 'Eternal Fame List'!" Xu Yanyan also said.

The two brothers stood next to Lu Mingfei as if they were performing crosstalk. One had to say that Zhao Menghua had good taste in recruiting younger brothers. Two years after graduation, the skills of these two followers in flattering and supporting the main character have only increased.

The two brothers looked more radiant than the other, as if the more they praised Lu Mingfei, the closer their relationship with Lu Mingfei was, and the better their relationship with Lu Mingfei, the more they would benefit from Lu Mingfei.

"It's not necessary." Lu Mingfei said weakly, "These things... are really not what I want to do."

"I understand, I understand. Brother Lu is very low-key. He has been like this since high school." Xu Miaomiao nodded and said, "You are the protagonist today, but you have no intention of showing off. You didn't even inform us that you would be back to participate in the school celebration today!"

“I really didn’t plan to…” Lu Mingfei was a little speechless.

"I heard that the mayor also came. Brother Lu, did the school call you back because of this incident?" Xu Yanyan asked.

“No, the school didn’t contact me at all.” Lu Mingfei looked confused. However, since he entered Kassel College, he had changed his mobile phone number and email address, and rarely used QQ. The school would not be able to find a way to contact him, right?

Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered something. If the school really wanted to contact him, they should contact his uncle and aunt first, right? His name had caused such a big stir in the school, how could his uncle and aunt not know about it? But based on Lu Mingfei's understanding of them, if they knew about it, how could they not mention it to him at all?

It was strange. Lu Mingfei always felt that he was missing some information, as if someone was deliberately hiding it from him.

There was a noise in front of the club-like building in the center of the playground. A group of people in suits and leather shoes came towards this side in a hurry, striding with their heads held high and smiling. Among them were several familiar figures printed on the teaching and research wall of the college.

He is the principal of Shilan Middle School and a group of the school's core teaching staff.

“Mingfei, I’ve been looking forward to seeing you back!” The principal shook hands with Lu Mingfei enthusiastically, and then hugged him. It didn’t seem like a school head meeting a student who had graduated two years ago, but more like a left-behind child meeting his living father.

Not only the principal, but also the heads of each department and key teachers took turns shaking hands and hugging Lu Mingfei, as if they were international tycoons meeting each other. Everyone said that they had been looking forward to seeing Lu Mingfei again for the past two years, and everyone said that Lu Mingfei's temperament had become more mature and stable after not seeing him for two years, as if everyone was a teacher who had taught Lu Mingfei and was extremely impressed by him.

But Lu Mingfei could only recognize three or four faces at most, including faces that everyone in the school had seen, such as the dean of studies and the teacher secretary.

"Thanks to you, Mingfei, our Shilan Middle School has developed so rapidly. Not only has it established a campus foundation, but it has also embarked on internationalization and introduced New Zealand's international education model!" The principal patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder vigorously, "Now the number of our foreign students and the quality of their students are growing exponentially every year!"

"Principal, I'm actually not quite sure." Lu Mingfei asked tentatively, "What contribution have I made to the school?"

"You are so low-key despite your great contribution." The principal was happy. "You made the first investment to establish the Shilan Foundation, laying the first cornerstone for the development of Shilan Middle School. Without your push for us to take the first step, there would be no future! Not only that, you also used your connections to attract investment for the school. Within a year, more than a dozen American investors and educators invested more than 10 million yuan in our school. That's why the school was able to become internationalized so quickly!"

"I never thought that Mingfei, at such a young age, you could meet so many investment giants abroad. You have a bright future!" The principal smiled from ear to ear. "You are all founding members of the 'Shilan Middle School Foundation'. Do you see that building? That is the foundation building. Mingfei, your name is engraved on the top floor of that building!"

The principal pointed at the club-like building that was more than ten stories high behind him. Lu Mingfei followed his gaze and, if possible, he really didn't want his name to be left at the top... The shape of this building looked like the first name on a memorial tombstone.

"Do my uncle and aunt know about these things?" Lu Mingfei asked tentatively again.

"Why, Mingfei, didn't you tell your family?" The principal was surprised and gave a thumbs up. "You are much more low-key than I thought. You are simply a young philanthropist and a modern Lei Feng! We did contact your uncle and aunt, but for some reason, the phone call was always unavailable. We visited them twice, but no one was at home, so we missed the time each time, so we simply didn't bother them anymore."

Lu Mingfei thought that this was too much of a coincidence. The school wanted to contact a family, so how could it happen that it couldn’t get in touch every time... When the number of coincidences is large enough, it is no longer a coincidence. But is it really possible for someone to create an information barrier to completely block such big news from his aunt’s family?

Yes, there are people who can do it, and Lu Mingfei knows them... They have always been so well-connected.

"Let's not just stand outside. Let's go into the conference room and talk," suggested the Dean of Academic Affairs.

"Actually, I..." Lu Mingfei wanted to say that he was not here to attend the school anniversary today, but he had an appointment with someone. However, when he saw those eager old faces, he swallowed his words back.

"Yes, yes, let's go into the conference room and chat. The newly renovated conference room also has my private West Lake Longjing tea." The principal nodded, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and said to Lu Mingfei, "Oh, yes, I almost forgot, I was so excited to see Mingfei, there are people waiting in the conference room!"

Lu Mingfei was just about to say that if someone was treating him, he would not join in the fun, but the principal grabbed his hand without giving him any explanation, as if he was afraid of letting him run away.

Lu Mingfei sighed: "Principal, my friend came with me, can we go together?"

"What's the problem?" The principal waved his hand and said proudly, "Plenty of tea!"

Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao showed expressions that said "Brother Lu is really a good friend". He was invited by the principal and he was still thinking about them. Chen Wenwen's fingers were also entangled in front of her skirt. She felt that she might be taken along by Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei stretched out a hand, passed the three people, and grabbed a girl behind them.

"Let's go, Eri." Lu Mingfei held Eri's hand in public.

"Brother Lu..." Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao were dumbfounded.

"Well... I'm glad to see you today." Lu Mingfei waved to his old classmates, "Enjoy your meal and have fun. See you later."

Chen Wenwen was also stunned. She was not stunned because Lu Mingfei didn't bring her with him, but because of the girl that Lu Mingfei was holding.

In fact, Chen Wenwen had noticed that girl a long time ago, because she was so beautiful and shone so brightly in the crowd, as if she were glowing... To be honest, compared with such a girl, Chen Wenwen even felt inferior.

But she never thought that this girl was brought by Lu Mingfei, because when she saw Lu Mingfei, Lu Mingfei was standing in the middle of the playground with Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao. The two brothers hugged Lu Mingfei on the left and right. The girl stayed quietly not far away. She never spoke a word when the Xu brothers were chatting with Lu Mingfei.

Chen Wenwen never thought that Lu Mingfei would be so proactive and hold a girl's hand in front of everyone. He was not deliberately showing off his affection. As a person with delicate emotions, Chen Wenwen could see that Lu Mingfei's eyes showed his unreserved love for this girl.

The same goes for this girl.

"Is she Lu Mingfei's...girlfriend?" Chen Wenwen asked in a low voice, her voice still as soft as a mosquito's buzz. It was unclear whether she was asking Xu Yanyan, Xu Miaomiao, or talking to herself.

"She's his girlfriend, right? They're showing their affection like this. Who has Lu Mingfei ever treated like this before?" Xu Yanyan said.

"Brother Lu just said it was his wife," Xu Miaomiao corrected.

Looking at the backs of the two, they really are a perfect match. Perhaps only such a beautiful girl can be matched with such an outstanding boy.

Although Zhao Menghua was already there, and although she knew that there was no possibility for her and Lu Mingfei, Chen Wenwen still couldn't help feeling a sense of loss.

She lowered her head, and no one saw the bitter curve at the corner of her mouth. The corners of her neat white skirt were wrinkled.

……

The conference hall was very grand, giving the feeling of a company auditorium. Quite a few people were already sitting around the huge round table. As expected, before going out to pick up Lu Mingfei, the principal and a group of core directors were entertaining other people here.

Lu Mingfei saw an unexpected figure at the front of the round table.

"Senior Brother?" Lu Mingfei

Chu Zihang sat quietly in his seat, holding a cup of tea in his hand. Next to him was a girl, who was talking to Chu Zihang with her head tilted. Lu Mingfei didn't see her face, but from her temperament he could tell that she was a beauty, and she looked familiar.

"Coming." Chu Zihang nodded to Lu Mingfei.

What does it mean to come...?

Didn't we agree to meet at the school gate? But now we are in the meeting room of the Shilan Middle School Foundation. Why does the senior brother sound as if he has been waiting here for a long time and he is late?

The girl next to Chu Zihang also realized that someone was coming. She turned her head, met Lu Mingfei's gaze, and then her eyes widened.

She was not the only one with eyes wide open, Lu Mingfei too.

She was indeed a super beautiful girl, but what surprised Lu Mingfei was not her beauty, but... she was another acquaintance!

"Little goddess?"

"Lu Mingfei!"

Both were surprised, but in two completely different tones. Lu Mingfei had to admit that seeing Su Xiaoqiang here was much more surprising than meeting Chen Wenwen outside just now.

Just now, I saw a girl who looked pretty and was very close to Chu Zihang. They seemed to be a bit intimate. Lu Mingfei was thinking about whether he should go to Xia Mi to ask Senior Brother for a visit... But after seeing that it was Su Xiaoqiang, Lu Mingfei gave up the idea.

Chapter 937 The Little Goddess Who Was Hit

Because Lu Mingfei had a pretty good relationship with the little angel, probably the one he had the best relationship with among all the girls in his class.

Of course, there was no affair between Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang.

It was purely because he felt that the little angel had a great personality. She was straightforward, dared to love and hate, did not try to please anyone and did not hold grudges. She would not deliberately pester boys to play. Although she was beautiful and had a rich family, she would not deliberately put on airs. She never bothered to join any small groups and would not talk about others behind their backs... When she was a student, Su Xiaoqiang, who possessed so many great qualities, was enough to defeat 99.9 percent of high school students in the country.

However, at the last class reunion before graduating from high school, Su Xiaoqiang expressed some feelings for him intentionally or unintentionally. It was still a bit embarrassing to think about it suddenly... Especially after Lu Mingfei knew that the other party had left him a message and he had not replied.

“Well…long time no see.” Not knowing how to ease the atmosphere, Lu Mingfei could only utter this, “Meeting here, what a coincidence, hahahahahahaha…”

“Ha, you big-headed ghost! You even remember that it’s been a long time since we last met!” Su Xiaoqiang stood up with his hands on his hips, glaring at Lu Mingfei, “You’ve lost contact since graduation. You don’t remember the old times at all, do you? It’s ok that you didn’t attend the class reunion, but you didn’t reply to any of my messages. I called your cell phone but it was an unavailable number. When I went to your uncle’s and aunt’s house to look for you, they said you hadn’t returned in a long time. If you didn’t know, you would have disappeared!”

“Sorry, sorry, I’m really sorry. I didn’t see your message.” Lu Mingfei explained in a very sincere tone, “Life in the United States is completely different from that in China. It took me a long time just to adapt. In addition, my academic workload was really heavy, so I didn’t have time to pay attention to my old classmates. This is my problem, my problem.”

"'You guys'?" Su Xiaoqiang keenly caught the word in Lu Mingfei's words, "This 'you guys' refers to the other girls in our class except me, right?"

I have to say that although Su Xiaoqiang seems careless, she is not without the delicate mind of a girl. On the contrary, she is quite sensitive to things that she really cares about.

Lu Mingfei wanted to slap himself twice. Why did he have to give such an embarrassing explanation? Wouldn't it be better to just say that he was too busy and ignored the message, or that he didn't use QQ much? Even if he said that his phone didn't have enough memory and uninstalled QQ, it would be better than this... Sometimes people really can't be too honest. The more you say, the more mistakes you make!

"Chen Wenwen, Liu Miaomiao... and some other girls in the school did send a few words of greeting during the holidays, but I didn't notice it and didn't reply to any of their messages." At this point, Lu Mingfei could only bite the bullet and explain. What he actually wanted to express was "You see, I really didn't notice it, I wasn't the only one who didn't reply to you."

"I knew it. I could have guessed these names even if you didn't say them." Su Xiaoqiang crossed his arms over his chest and frowned, saying, "Forget about Liu Miaomiao, but Chen Wenwen is really capable of doing this. She's already married to Zhao Menghua, how can she still be so unfaithful to her husband?"

“Hey, hey, hey, don’t say that!” Lu Mingfei thought to himself that there was indeed a reason why he was so afraid of Su Xiaoqiang. He quickly explained, “They just shared a few books. Is it necessary to escalate it to the level of being unfaithful to one’s husband… Besides, they not only left messages to me, but also to my senior brother!”

Lu Mingfei quickly pulled Chu Zihang along to help him share the firepower.

“If I only sent it to you or Senior Brother Chu, I could still praise them for their loyalty and look up to them, but in the end, they are all just nymphomaniacs!” Su Xiaoqiang sneered twice, and her expression was no different from the proud little angel in Lu Mingfei's impression.

The principal was very tactful and gave Lu Mingfei enough time to reminisce with his old classmates. Having been the principal of Shilan Middle School for so many years, he knew better than anyone the little tricks of early love, secret love, and unrequited love among students. At this moment, the principal also saw that Lu Mingfei was a little overwhelmed by Su Xiaoqiang, so he tactfully interrupted the topic to help Lu Mingfei out.

“Oh, oh, there’s no need to stand all the time when old classmates are reminiscing about the past. Just sit down and chat.” The principal pushed Lu Mingfei to his seat. Whether it was intentional or coincidental, Lu Mingfei’s seat was right next to Su Xiaoqiang.

Chu Zihang was on the other side of Su Xiaoqiang. An old director was very considerate and moved a stool for Hui Liyi, placing it on the other side of Lu Mingfei. The dean of studies served brewed West Lake Longjing tea to Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi respectively, just like a waiter in a star hotel entertaining a distinguished foreign guest.

Chu Zihang nodded to Eri from two seats away as a greeting.

"Who is this girl?" Su Xiaoqiang looked at Eri.

She noticed this girl just now, she couldn't help but notice her, just like when she was in school and someone walked into their class, the first person they saw was Su Xiaoqiang. Some people are placed in a crowd, and their appearance and temperament are different from others. Su Xiaoqiang belongs to this type.

And this girl...even someone as proud as the little angel had to admit that this girl was no worse looking than her, and her temperament was even more unique than hers.

"Uesugi Eriya, a classmate of Kassel Academy." Chu Zihang at the side actually explained for him before Lu Mingfei did, "Lu Mingfei's wife."

There is probably a side of evil taste in Chu Gossip's character. In this situation, he seemed very keen to explain for Lu Mingfei, and then watch how the situation developed. Chu Zihang deliberately used such a solemn title as "wife".

"Wife...wife?!" Su Xiaoqiang's eyes widened. It was rare to see the little angel who was never surprised by anything behave like this. It was obvious that she was frightened by the last two words.

"Yes, they held their wedding in Tokyo, Japan, just last week." Chu Zihang nodded and said, "The wedding venue was at Meiji Jingu Shrine, and Eri's family and Lu Mingfei's uncle and aunt were all present."

Chu Zihang's words were equivalent to telling Su Xiaoqiang that "wife" was not a joking title. Lu Mingfei and Huili had already crossed the status of boyfriend and girlfriend. Although it had not yet been recognized by the law, they had become each other's only partners ethically.

Lu Mingfei gave Chu Zihang a look that said “thank you, senior brother”, but he didn’t really blame Chu Zihang… Fortunately, Chu Zihang was beside him and took the initiative to speak for him. In fact, in this situation, it would be more appropriate for Chu Zihang to say these words than for him to say them in person.

It's not that Lu Ming had to hide something in front of Su Xiaoqiang. Even if he was the one saying these words, he would definitely introduce Eri as "wife". It's just that as a person involved, it was a bit of a show-off for him to say this in front of his former classmates, not to mention that he was a girl he used to get along well with. If he didn't control the degree well, he would either seem like an ordinary man or put Su Xiaoqiang in an awkward situation.
