Chapter Seventeen

Subtitle of this chapter: A master who does not play mahjong is not a real master

Manager Zhou was happy to hear this, and asked the director to reply: Although his daughter has not passed by, the status of the father-in-law and son-in-law has not changed. He has only one daughter in his life. He originally wanted to have a good time, but now he added the money for the dowry and wedding ceremony to the Yuan family's betting money to make the daughter's business, a total of 8,000 yuan, equivalent to 4,000 US dollars, which is for Yuan Yanshu to graduate next year to do the study abroad fee.

Author's note: The original text of "The Siege" is 20,000 yuan, equivalent to 1,200 pounds. However, considering that the book was in the 1930s when the United States had implemented the "Silver Act", and in this work, Yuan Yanzhu went abroad in about 1917, he made changes. At that time, the 8,000 yuan was already a big deal. In addition, a considerable part of this money was a betrothal gift from the old Yuan family. Of course, no matter what, Zhou's father-in-law was doing pretty well.

Originally, Yuan Yanshu didn't expect such a good thing. He was very grateful to his father-in-law and his dead fiancée, so he came to New York University to study economics. He wanted to use the knowledge he had learned to repay his father-in-law's family in the future. When he returned to China after he finished his studies, he would like to support his two elders and finally inherit the "Dianjin Bank" to comfort his father-in-law's family of three.

It’s a pity that medicine has been too prosperous over the years, and Zhou’s father-in-law finally realized and resolutely went against his in-laws and became a Western medicine fan. It turns out that the treatment of infertility is still a little better than the old Chinese medicine doctor. A small star he took a few years ago actually gave Yuan Yan a brother, which is also a happy event for the old tree to blossom. Of course, it is possible that Zhou’s mother-in-law finally let go of her "wife" to take a concubine. In fact, Zhou’s father-in-law is not very old, she is a tiger and wolf who is less than fifty or forty... Well, she is the year of fighting.

This abacus was too loud, indeed, not a good thing. Instead, Yuan Yan suddenly chose the wrong major.

As the saying goes: Men are afraid of entering the wrong career, while women are afraid of marrying without a house.

Fortunately, Yuan Yanshu now has no chance to surrender to fate and give in. The Master Ball System uses a system mission to save him... Well, save him.

Well, if you copy or not, the system is there, you are not sad or happy... and you are dead.

"Please select the version, language type, and manuscript form."

Yuan Yan finally discovered the first benefit of Master Ball, and this service is very considerate. Especially in the form of manuscripts, such a long academic monograph of 500 pages and millions of words, if he wants to write it out one by one or one by one, it is better if such a master is not appropriate.

Moreover, it is worthy of being a product of high-dimensional biological, and even the trace detection technology is taken into account. In this way, every book has its original manuscript. Whether it is handwriting analysis or trace analysis, it is real evidence. In this way, no one feels that the origin of their masterpiece is strange.

OK, redeem it first and then say: "The first edition, English, yes, typescript."

"The printing fee is one-tenth of the withdrawal fee, and the balance of B coins is insufficient."

“Isn’t that last time “Fifty Shades of Gray” free?”

"Last time it was a benefit, not this time."

Yuan Yanshu was extremely depressed. This was a long work of millions of words and five hundred pages. Could it be that he really had to type it out word by word?!

"Crack."

This is the sound made by a second-hand typewriter. This underwood typewriter with the same name as Commander Shimoki was bought when Yuan Yanshu first came to the United States and was ambitiously preparing to become a master. He spent thirty dollars.

I got used to the wi-fi life, Yuan Yan was idle and had nothing to do. In this era, there was no TV. Well, in fact, even radio would not appear until next year. Yuan Yanshu, who was "hard" in his student room, had no books suitable for entertainment. So he simply criticized his clothes and started his journey to master.

However, he did not start plagiarizing the great cause directly, but instead wrote catalogs and outlines. He always had to communicate with his supervisor when writing a paper, not to mention that he still skipped the grade and reported to a doctorate.

As soon as I sat down and typed three lines, I heard someone outside smashing the door hard: "Old Yuan, open the door..."

Yuan Yan, who was interrupted by his thoughts, opened the door with some displeasure. When he looked out, he saw three beautiful Chinese people standing at the door, one tall, one short and one fat, all of whom were his old acquaintances and... brand-name cards.

After China's "Bots Indemnity", the United States, Britain, France, the Netherlands, and other countries successively entered into agreements with China to refund compensations that exceeded the actual losses. In addition to repaying debts, the refund of the funds is all used in education. China sends corresponding international students to the above countries every year, and the Boxer Treasury students are thus generated. Master Hu Shizhi is the second batch of Boxer Treasury students. The "Preparatory School for Studying in the United States" established by our Qing Dynasty is the predecessor of Tsinghua University.

By 1920, more than 1,500 Chinese students studied in the United States, and in five years, they reached the peak of 1925. Among them, in addition to the public, there were naturally self-paid students. Yuan Yanshu, Xu Zhimo and the three of them in front of them all went to the United States at their own expense.

Yuan Hongjian had never heard of these gentlemen in later generations, and they didn't think they were important historical figures. However, if you can come to the United States to study at your own expense and spend money all day, you don't have to worry about small money. Then you must be a second generation who is either rich or noble.

The long-legged thin man in the leader had yellow face and yellow teeth, and even had a tuft of yellow hair on his head, looking like a big smoker. However, his complexion was pretty good. He waved the bill in his hand with a gaze and said politely: "Old Yuan, I heard you are cured of illness? Then put on your little suit quickly. I send money from my family. No one can rob me of my business today. We have to go to the restaurant. What should we eat? Eat steak. Why do you finish it? The old rule is that you don't take anyone away in the eight circles!"

This familiar taste made Yuan Yan suddenly remember the Goubuli buns that "if you go, you have to eat, you say it's not delicious"... Wait, what he is talking about is steak?! Yuan Yan, who had only eaten hot dog sandwiches after traveling through time, couldn't help swallowing.

But he immediately woke up. He wanted to be a master, and he would lose steak and mahjong in the future. Both of these are standard for masters of the Republic of China. So he declined and said, "Xiangzi, you are so polite. But I still have something to do today, so I have to lose my companion."
