Chapter 74 School Opening Report

When the hostess came back, Locke discussed with the other party again, and finally set the price at 36.5 million US dollars. The two parties signed a contract of intent, and then it was Dylan's turn to get busy.

With such a large contract, the generous bonus alone is enough to give Dylan enough power to get things done faster.

To this end, Locke borrowed US$40 million from the bank, using some stocks as collateral. The whole process was extremely smooth, and Citibank's account manager wished that Locke could borrow more.

Returning to Fairview Town in the evening, listening to Peggy talking about the day's experiences during dinner and describing the manor on the farm, Ashley felt a little regretful for not following along to take a look.

Fortunately, there will be opportunities in the future. Locke promised to find an opportunity to go there for a few days after the farm is transferred.

Then Ashley talked about playing cards at Gabrielle's house and meeting Mr. Solis's mother, who had just come to visit yesterday.

"Mr. Solis's mother is a good card player, but in a short time, I lost more than three hundred dollars. It was really terrible."

Ashley still had a slightly frightened look on her face. She usually used Locke's card to buy clothes and other things. She didn't really have much cash on hand, it was all given to her by Samantha when she left.

Locke never gave her cash. She spent a lot of money these days. In such a short time, she lost more than three hundred dollars, which was one-third of her remaining money.

He was thinking about whether to ask Locke to act coquettishly when they were alone at night so that he could get some pocket money.

In the next few days, Locke processed some documents brought by Tang Wei and made arrangements for investments from overseas companies and Sky Fund.

It was finally time to enroll at Princeton University.

The school welcomed Peggy's arrival very much, and Dr. Gate from the Department of Mathematics even waited in the principal's office.

In the original plot, Peggy and Little Sheldon would choose the physics department together, but perhaps due to Locke's influence, Peggy decided to choose the mathematics department early.

According to the previous agreement, both Peggy and Locke received full scholarships, but Peggy also had other living allowances, while Locke did not have these.

He wouldn't care about the small money. Dr. Gate valued both of them very much. He praised them with the principal, especially Peggy, who described them as valuable assets to the school.

The principal also said that a separate dormitory was prepared for Peggy, free of charge.

Peggy didn't say anything about not needing it, and directly accepted the key handed over by the principal. It would be nice to have a temporary place to stay and rest in the school.

After leaving the principal's office, the two of them walked on the road inside the school. Peggy said, "Would you like to take a look at the dormitory I have been assigned to?"

"It's okay to go take a look. You can find someone to tidy it up, and then see what needs to be added. Bring it over next time you come." Locke did not refuse.

The two came to the dormitory building. Looking at the girls wearing bath towels walking towards them, Locke suddenly regretted his original choice: "Maybe I should have chosen a place in the mixed dormitory."

The two quickly found Peggy's dormitory room and opened the door with the dormitory key they received.

The inside seems to have been specially cleaned, and you can still smell the faint smell of disinfectant. It is not at all like other dormitories, it has just been tidied up hastily. It seems that the principal also cares about Peggy.

"The dormitory is very clean. It seems that we just need to add some things." Locke said.

"It is true that we still lack bedding and some commonly used clothes. I can bring them directly when I come to school next time." Peggy looked at her new dormitory and felt very satisfied.

Locke stood at the door and glanced at the dormitory opposite. There was a girl changing clothes inside. The dormitory door was ajar, and the looming scenery could still be seen.

As soon as the girl looked up, she noticed Locke.

"Hi!" The other party did not close the door, let alone curse. Instead, he opened the half-open door and said hello to Locke, allowing Locke to enjoy the scenery that can only be seen on the beach.

"Hi, Locke Lee." Meeting the other person's eyes, Locke introduced himself with a smile: "Freshman, Department of Mathematics."

"Elizabeth Plimpton, senior, Department of Physics." The other party introduced herself, and then asked: "Do you live across the street?"

If Locke remembers correctly, the Elizabeth Plimpton in front of her seems to be the future female Ph.D. in physics.

Leonard had a night and a morning of fun with her, and because he couldn't afford the salary, he also had to add the deliveryman Howard and the landlord Rajesh.

"Ah, this is my friend's dormitory..." Locke replied while thinking about the plot.

"Locke?" At this moment, Peggy came to the door after checking the private bathroom.

"She is your friend." Elizabeth looked at Locke strangely.

"Peggy Swanson is a math major like me. Her parents are my friends and asked me to take care of her at school."

Locke said: "This is Elizabeth, who lives in the dormitory opposite."

Elizabeth looked at Peggy carefully, and then remembered what she had heard a few days ago that there would be two super geniuses who were only eleven years old in the school, and Peggy was obviously one of them.

She can understand the existence of geniuses because she is one of them. She went to college at the age of fifteen and studied for two years. Now she is ready to graduate early and study for a master's degree.

But the age of Peggy in front of her was really beyond her imagination.

Peggy seemed to have a bad impression of Elizabeth, and Elizabeth seemed not interested in Peggy. After saying hello, Elizabeth closed the door of the dormitory.

"Wow." At this time, an exclamation came from the side.

Locke turned around and saw a handsome white boy, who said to Locke: "It's really a beautiful scenery, isn't it?"

"Hmm." Locke shrugged.

"I'm Ben Tris, a freshman in the Department of Biology." The other party reached out his hand proactively.

"Locke Lee, freshman majoring in mathematics." Locke smiled and said, "Are you interested in the biology department?"

"I want to apply for medical school." The other person said: "I am very interested in medicine."

Locke nodded clearly. Countless students in the United States have been working hard to become doctors since middle school.

The United States does not have an undergraduate degree in medicine. If you want to be a doctor, you need to apply for medical school after graduating from college. If you study related majors during college, you will also have an advantage when applying.

As for the so-called interest in medicine, most of them are actually interested in money.

After all, persuading people to study medicine is like a thunderbolt. If it were not for money, not many people would be interested in studying medicine hard.

After the two chatted for a while, two more people, one fat and one thin, walked out of the dormitory behind him. Their appearance and expressions looked like typical otakus.

The fat man was a little familiar and greeted Locke: "I am Michael Duncan and this is Cam Jordan. The three of us are good friends."

"Have you known each other before? It seems like you are lucky enough to be assigned together." Locke said with a smile.

"Kem found someone to change the dormitory." Fatty Michael said with a smile: "Would you like to go out and visit the campus together? There are many beauties in the school~"

Michael winked as he spoke. For some otakus, they are often able to talk freely in front of the same sex, but in front of beautiful women, they can easily hesitate for a long time.

"I really want to agree, but I still have some things to do." Locke took Peggy's hand: "I'll give it a chance next time."

"No problem." Michael glanced at Peggy. He had already received information from his senior and recognized this talented girl, but this was not in his focus.

Smiling and patting Locke on the shoulder, Michael winked at Locke and said, "If you are interested, you can come to me. I know a lot of 'information'."

"Thank you." Locke smiled slightly: "But no need."

"Don't be embarrassed." A few people walked outside, and Michael continued: "You must know that college is a battlefield. There is always a quick hand and a slow hand."

"Yes." The skinny guy Kenm interjected at this time: "If you start late, high-quality resources will be taken away by others."

Locke twitched the corners of his mouth, wanting to say that he really didn't need to study the information, and just looked at the charm value on the system panel. What he should be worried about was how to refuse.

But he also knows not to show off too much, otherwise he doesn't know how they will react, and the good impression brought about by the charm value at the beginning may be reversed soon.

Otakus have always had a very complicated attitude toward people with rich achievements like Locke, who are both envious and jealous. There is no shortage of people who are especially envious or even jealous.

"We can find time to make an appointment tomorrow. College is a new beginning, and we will definitely be able to have a happy college life." Michael announced with a smile.

Kenm also nodded, and Locke could only smile and say nothing. When he got downstairs of the dormitory, he pulled Peggy to say goodbye to them.
