Chapter 293: Is it because of me that Cheng Xuyuan didn't go abroad to study?
Back then, many people didn't know what Ivy League universities were.
But this definitely does not include college students.
As a time traveler from the future, Cheng Xuyuan knows better what an Ivy League university means.
But what am I going there for?
In terms of what’s in their heads, it seems like they don’t have more than me!
As for the rest, I'm sorry, there's really no need for me to go!
Therefore, under the envious gazes of countless people, Cheng Xuyuan still said firmly: "Mr. Miller, thank you for your kindness."
"I……"
Before Cheng Xuyuan could continue, Elder Wan said with a smile, "Xiao Cheng, since Mr. Miller has given you time to think about it, you should consider it carefully."
"It won't be too late to tell Mr. Miller when you have mature ideas."
"After all, Mr. Miller is not leaving for the time being. There is plenty of time. You don't have to rush to answer."
Mr. Wan's words interrupted Cheng Xuyuan's answer.
When he said this, all kinds of thoughts surged in his mind, but he had only one purpose, which was to allow his students to make a decision after careful consideration.
This way, you won’t regret it later.
Cheng Xuyuan understood his teacher's good intentions and immediately said with a smile: "I'll listen to you."
Mr. Miller smiled and said, "Okay, Cheng, I'll wait for your decision then."
"Cheng, you are facing more than just a choice now."
"Another thing is that I plan to introduce your play The Pursuit of Happyness to Broadway."
"I can give you two choices."
"One is to buy it out!"
"The other way is to split it."
"Buying out means that I will purchase all the rights and interests of your play. Of course, I will give you a price that will satisfy you."
"The profit sharing can only be determined based on the performance results."
"Maybe, because the show failed, there's not much money."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Mr. Miller, who looked serious, and smiled, "Mr. Miller, how much can you give if I buy it out?"
Mr. Miller glanced at Cheng Xuyuan, then at Mr. Wan and said, "You are Mr. Wan's student, I won't let you suffer any loss."
"According to Broadway prices, a newcomer's work is basically less than two thousand dollars."
"Although you are a newcomer, I think this work is very good."
"So, I can give you three thousand dollars."
Three thousand US dollars!
If it is exchanged for the Great Unity, these three thousand US dollars are almost ten thousand yuan! Dean Fu, who was standing behind Cheng Xuyuan and was worried about Cheng Xuyuan's answer, was shocked at this moment.
Although he always felt that money is something outside of one's body and having enough is enough.
But ten thousand yuan still made him excited.
Even if he worked diligently and tirelessly, he didn't know how many years it would take him to save ten thousand yuan.
But here, this young student was able to earn so much money just by performing a play.
Although you can't judge a person based on money.
But people who can make money must be good! Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Mr. Miller, why don't you let me think about this matter as well."
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan who looked calm, Mr. Miller smiled and said, "Okay, then I will wait for your good news."
At this point, he pounded his shoulder and said, "I'm really too tired today. How about I treat Mr. Cheng to a meal the day after tomorrow?"
"I'll tell you your decision then."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and readily agreed: "Okay."
After sending Mr. Miller and others away, the History Department of Yenching University returned to its former tranquility.
However, an undercurrent quietly flowed from here to every corner of the school, big and small.
For students, studying abroad is undoubtedly very important.
So there are a lot of people talking about this matter.
As for the protagonist of the incident, Cheng Xuyuan, when he was mentioned, many people's faces were filled with envy.
That’s right, it’s naked envy!
In the girls' dormitory of the Chinese Department, Li Yufei and Zhang Manling returned to the dormitory after lunch, chatting and laughing.
In fact, Li Yufei's mood was not as relaxed as she appeared.
What happened last night made her feel very uneasy.
How would Cheng Xuyuan see himself?
Will Cheng Xuyuan accept his confession? Although Liang Xiaolu said that he was bold enough to express his thoughts, even if Cheng Xuyuan would not accept it, at least he would not regret it in the future.
Is everything really as she said?
But on the surface, she still suppressed her feelings in her heart and dared not speak them out.
"Do you know? Something big happened in our school!" Just after lying down on the bed in the dormitory, before Li Yufei picked up the book on the bedside, the eldest sister in the dormitory, Wang Yueping, said mysteriously.
"What happened?" Zhang Manling asked curiously.
For students, they are still very curious about what could happen in their school.
Li Yufei also put down the book in her hand and looked at Wang Yueping.
Wang Yueping asked: "Do you all know Cheng Xuyuan?"
"I know!" Zhang Manling said, "Sister Yueping, when you talk about Cheng Xuyuan in the future, please don't say Cheng Xuyuan, do you know this?"
"He is in our school now, everyone knows him!"
After saying this, all the girls in the dormitory laughed.
"Okay, you're the one making fun of me." Wang Yueping seemed to know that what she just said was completely unnecessary, so she glanced at Zhang Manling and whispered, "It's about Cheng Xuyuan."
Hearing this, Li Yufei suddenly felt her heart tighten, thinking to herself, is it possible that the news of her confession to Cheng Xuyuan has spread out? No way! Liang Xiaolu will definitely keep her mouth shut and will never tell anyone about this matter.
And I don’t know how to do it even more!
Could it be Cheng Xuyuan?
He is not that kind of person!
Just as all kinds of thoughts were surging in her mind, she heard a roommate say, "Sister, you are not talking about Professor Li from the History Department being sick and planning to let Cheng Xuyuan take over the class, right?"
"Let me tell you, this has been going on for several days."
"I don't know if Cheng Xuyuan agreed."
When she heard about this, Li Yufei breathed a sigh of relief.
She also heard about this matter.
When she first heard about it, her first feeling was that it was a bit unbelievable.
After all, Cheng Xuyuan is still just a student. Now he is substituting for the professor and teaching seniors who are one year older than him. This is a bit outrageous.
However, when she thought of the articles published by Cheng Xuyuan, her first feeling was that it seemed nothing special that Cheng Xuyuan taught students from the class of 1976.
After all, in the history of the Ming Dynasty, Cheng Xu is far from being the one who has done the most in-depth research, but there is currently no one who has made more money than him.
Not to mention that he could recite the history of Ming Dynasty backwards.
So that's what it was.
That's good! Just when Li Yufei breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Wang Yueping say, "What are you thinking? I already knew about this news. I was talking about the new rumors."
These words immediately made Li Yufei's heart wrench again.
It wasn't about asking Cheng Xuyuan to substitute for me. Could it be that I really confessed my feelings for him and someone spread the news? If that was the case, then I would...
Just when she was feeling conflicted.
Then Wang Yueping said, "I heard that today a playwright from the United States found Cheng Xuyuan and invited him to study in the United States."
Going to study in the United States! This news was like a thunderbolt, shocking the girls.
For them, the news was truly shocking.
After all, this is studying abroad in the United States!
They only have a vague understanding of the situation in the United States, but based on this vague understanding, they know how developed this country is.
Now, Cheng Xuyuan was actually invited to study in the United States!
When Li Yufei heard the news, her heart felt like it was hit by a huge wave.
If Cheng Xu went to the United States, the distance between him and me would be even greater.
Although I have clearly expressed my friendship to him, once he goes to the United States, I will never be able to catch up with him.
Could it be that Cheng Xuyuan and I were really not meant to be together, that we could only meet again in the rivers and lakes? I had just expressed my feelings to him, and he was going to study in the United States.
"Cheng Xuyuan is so amazing!" Zhang Manling exclaimed sincerely: "His works can be serialized in Hong Kong, and now he is going to study in the United States."
"I feel like I can only watch him ride away, and no matter how hard I try I won't be able to catch up with him!"
Zhang Manling's words immediately resonated with her roommates.
"Yeah, I don't think I can catch up."
"Haha, don't use the word 'chase', otherwise Fang Yuqing will be unhappy."
…
Li Yufei felt annoyed listening to these discussions, but no matter how annoyed she was, there was nothing she could do at this moment.
After all, she and Cheng Xuyuan seemed to have no relationship at all.
"What are you thinking?" Wang Yueping said at this time: "Cheng Xuyuan didn't agree to my studying abroad at all."
“He refused on the spot.”
If Cheng Xuyuan's invitation to study abroad was a big news in the eyes of many people, then Cheng Xuyuan's refusal was like a huge wave, making everyone present look at each other in confusion.
Cheng Xuyuan refused!
Cheng Xuyuan actually refused such a good opportunity as studying abroad.
And he rejected it on the spot!
How could he refuse such a good offer?
If it were me, would I be able to refuse like Cheng Xuyuan?
"Sister, are you saying that Cheng Xuyuan refused? He doesn't want to go?" Zhang Manling asked in disbelief.
Wang Yueping said: "Yes, I refused. There were quite a few people present at the time."
"I heard it from a senior brother who served them."
"Cheng Xuyuan didn't seem to hesitate at all and refused decisively."
"However, Mr. Miller thinks highly of Cheng Xuyuan. He asked Cheng Xuyuan to think carefully for some time and not to rush to give him an answer."
"And this gentleman also said that he has many good friends who work at Ivy League universities."
"If Cheng Xuyuan is willing to go, he can recommend it."
When a roommate heard the news, he said with a hint of emotion: "Cheng Xuyuan was able to refuse such a good thing. He is worthy of being my idol."
"But why can't I get such a good thing?"
Li Yufei ignored her roommate's fight. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: why did Cheng Xuyuan directly refuse to study abroad?
Is it for me?
However, when this thought came to her mind, she lost her confidence.
