Rebirth of Bloody Romance

One and a half months had passed since Zhang Haiyang and Li Ting set out on their journey to the Soviet Union, and during this time, Zhong Yuemin could not calm down. Although there was a long distance between them, the invisible bond always kept them closely connected.

That night, Zhong Yuemin sat alone in front of the window, looking at the moonlight outside, his thoughts drifting far away. He imagined what Zhang Haiyang and Li Ting were experiencing in a foreign country, and his heart was filled with worry and expectation.

Suddenly, a quick phone ring broke the silence of the night. Zhong Yuemin's heart tightened and he immediately picked up the phone.

"Hello! I'm Zhong Yuemin."

"Yuemin, it's me, Zhang Haiyang."

"Haiyang! How are you? Is everything going well?" His voice was filled with a bit of urgency and concern, as if it could penetrate thousands of mountains and rivers and reach his friend's ears.

Zhang Haiyang's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Yuemin, we are all fine. The journey was smooth and the scenery along the way was unforgettable. But........."

Zhong Yuemin keenly noticed the hesitation in Zhang Haiyang's tone and asked quickly, "What's wrong? Tell us if you have any difficulties, and we can work together to find a solution."

Zhang Haiyang sighed. "The procedures here are too complicated, and it seems that someone is secretly obstructing us. We have encountered some troubles and things are not going smoothly."

Zhong Yuemin was silent for a moment and then consoled her. "Don't worry, Haiyang. Good things take time. You have already taken the first step. As long as you stay calm and respond intelligently, you will be able to overcome these difficulties."

Zhang Haiyang nodded and responded, "Yes, I know. Yuemin, we will continue to work hard."

Zhong Yuemin smiled and said, "Well, tell me anything you want. By the way, is Li Ting okay? Is she adapting to the environment there?"

Speaking of Li Ting, Zhang Haiyang's voice softened. "She is very good and strong. Although the living conditions here are a bit tough, she has never complained."

Zhong Yuemin said with emotion, "That's good. I believe you two will succeed. No matter what difficulties you encounter, don't give up easily. Remember, I am your buddy who is silently supporting you behind you."

"Yuemin, you are very calm and not in a hurry at all!" Zhang Haiyang's words were a bit joking, but he also revealed his envy of Zhong Yuemin's calmness.

Zhong Yuemin smiled and replied, "Haha... The problem is that it's useless for me to worry, isn't it?" His voice came through the phone line with a gentle but firm strength. "I believe in your ability, and I believe that everything depends on human effort."

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, Zhang Haiyang's tone suddenly became serious. "That's right. The main reason I called you today is for another matter."

Zhong Yuemin asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Haiyang continued, "An American girl came to us and said she could help us. She also said she knew you. She said her name was... Fuck, what was it? I can't remember it, but it was a pretty nice name anyway."

Zhong Yuemin's heart moved, so he asked tentatively: "Is her name Avril?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's Avril!" Zhang Haiyang slapped his forehead and said as if he had suddenly realized something. "It was on my lips just now, but I just couldn't remember what it was."

As Zhang Haiyang spoke, he showed an expression as if he had just woken up from a dream, as if he had finally recovered his lost memories.

"Yuemin, Avril said she has some resources in the United States and may be able to help us open up some connections. Do you think this is reliable?" Zhang Haiyang frowned slightly, with a gleam of doubt in his eyes, and seemed to be cautious about this proposal.

Zhong Yuemin asked anxiously, "Haiyang, is Avril still with you?"

"Yes! She is outside chatting with Li Ting. It seems that the two women get along well." Zhang Haiyang answered with a smile, and he was obviously infected by this sudden cross-border friendship.

"Then let her come over and answer the phone. I have something to ask her." Zhong Yuemin's tone was firm and decisive, revealing an unquestionable determination.

"No problem, then you wait a moment." Zhang Haiyang agreed without hesitation, then stood up and walked out the door.

After a while, Zhang Haiyang returned to the living room and saw Li Ting and Avril talking happily. Their laughter rose one after another, as if they had endless topics to talk about.

When Li Ting saw Zhang Haiyang coming in, a hint of inquiry flashed in her eyes, as if asking: "What did Zhong Yuemin say?"

Zhang Haiyang nodded slightly and gave her an affirmative answer, indicating that everything had been arranged.

Then, Zhang Haiyang turned to Avril and said politely, "Ms. Avril, Comrade Zhong Yuemin wants to ask you to answer the phone. He wants to talk to you about something."

When Avril heard this, a charming smile appeared on her face. Her blue eyes sparkled brightly, as if she could see into people's hearts. "Okay, I'd love to."

Avril stood up, her graceful steps seemed like dancing, making people want to take a few more glances. She exuded an intoxicating aura that made the air around her fresh.

Walking to the phone, she gently picked up the receiver, her movements smooth and natural, as if this action had become a part of her life.

Avril asked in fluent Chinese, "Hello, is this Zhong Yuemin?"

Avril's voice is like the sound of nature, soft and firm, giving people a warm feeling.

Zhong Yuemin's slightly heavy voice came from the other end of the phone. "It's me, Avril. What's the situation now?" His tone revealed his concern for his friend's safety and worry about the future situation.

Avril frowned, a trace of helplessness on her face. "The situation is not very optimistic. The other party seems to be a little greedy. Not only did they ask us to return 200% interest, but they were only willing to provide a loan of billion rubles. The worst thing is that I went through a lot of trouble, even using my personal assets as collateral, and asking for favors from people everywhere to get these results."

Avril's tone was full of disappointment and frustration, but more of it was confusion and helplessness about the future.

"Avril, are you so rich? You're basically a wealthy woman! You can just support me from now on. I don't want to struggle anymore." Zhong Yuemin teased with a smile.

However, Avril was in no mood to respond to his jokes. She felt very depressed and helpless. She was thinking about how to solve the funding problem, but Zhong Yuemin did not seem to realize the seriousness of the matter.

"Zhong Yuemin, what time is it? You still have time to make fun of me." Avril couldn't help but complain.

Zhong Yuemin finally stopped smiling when he heard Avril's rebuke and asked seriously, "How much counter-point did you say they wanted?"

"Two and a half percent." Avril's voice was full of helplessness.

Zhong Yuemin frowned. He knew that the number was indeed a bit too high, but he also understood that the current situation was not optimistic. He was silent for a moment and then said, "Two and a half percent? It's a bit too much! But it's not unacceptable."

Avril heard the hesitation and worry in Zhong Yuemin's words and quickly explained, "Yes, I know it's hard to accept. But we really need the money to advance the project now, so we have to face this reality. I have tried my best to fight for it, but the other party's conditions are indeed very harsh."

Zhong Yuemin was silent for a moment, thinking quickly about countermeasures in his mind. He knew that in a foreign country, every step was full of unknowns and risks, but he also knew that for the sake of his goal, he had to persevere.

"Avril, you've done a great job." Zhong Yuemin finally spoke, his tone full of recognition and gratitude for Avril. "Next, we will work together to find a way to solve this problem. No matter what conditions the other party puts forward, we must remain calm and rational and find the best solution."

"Then, what should I do?" There was a hint of hesitation and uneasiness in Avril's voice. She was obviously shocked and puzzled by the plan proposed by Zhong Yuemin.

Zhong Yuemin took a deep breath and spoke in a firm and confident tone. "Continue to negotiate with the other party. The loan amount will double, and the rebate will also double."

When Avril heard this, her eyes widened instantly, her face full of disbelief. "Zhong Yuemin, are you crazy?"

Avril exclaimed, totally unable to understand Zhong Yuemin's crazy behavior. In her opinion, this was simply courting death.

However, Zhong Yuemin just smiled slightly, with wisdom glittering in his eyes. "Crazy? If the loan amount can be doubled, I can also double the rebate."

Zhong Yuemin's words revealed a kind of confidence, as if he had already seen the dawn of victory in this negotiation.

Avril was stunned. She didn't quite understand Zhong Yuemin's actions. Did he really intend to use this method to force the other party to give in?

I guess not many people can resist such temptation, and it is possible that this will succeed. However, the risk is too great!

"Zhong Yuemin, are you serious? You make me a little scared." Avril's voice trembled slightly, revealing her inner fear and anxiety.

"Avril, don't be afraid. Even if we all lose, I have the capital to make a comeback. When you come back from the Soviet Union, I will give you a surprise and reassure you. By then, you won't be afraid anymore."

"Zhong Yuemin, what surprise? What reassurance?" Avril's curiosity was completely aroused, and she urgently wanted to know what Zhong Yuemin was up to.

Zhong Yuemin just smiled mysteriously and kept the secret on purpose. "You won't believe me even if I tell you now. Let me tell you when you come back." There was a hint of cunning and expectation in his words, as if he had already prepared a big gift for Avril.

Avril gritted her teeth, and after listening to Zhong Yuemin's firm words, she finally made a decision. "Well, I'll go all out, and let you go crazy."

There was a sense of determination and heroism in Avril's words, as if she was ready to face this unknown challenge with Zhong Yuemin.

The phone was back in Zhang Haiyang's hands. "Haiyang, just listen to Avril, okay?"

"Yuemin, are you sure it's okay to do this?"

"Don't worry! I have a plan in mind."

"That's fine. Anyway, I don't know anything, so I'll listen to you."

"Ocean, in a nutshell. Just borrow more money, and the rest will be easy."

"Okay, I got it. Anything else? No, I'm hanging up now."

"Hang up!"

Zhong Yuemin stood quietly on the podium, his eyes slowly sweeping across the more than 400 seats below, with a complex emotion welling up in his heart.

Students from nine different majors gathered here. This brand new computer classroom was crowded with people and the atmosphere was very lively. However, when he looked carefully, he found that only a few students were really paying attention to the lectures. He couldn't help but curse inwardly. "Fuck! There are so many students, but only a few are really listening to the lectures."

Although he felt helpless and dissatisfied in his heart, there was still no sign of slackness in Zhong Yuemin's eyes.

Zhong Yuemin knows that as a teacher, he shoulders a great responsibility. Imparting knowledge is important, but what is more important is to inspire students' strong interest and enthusiasm for knowledge.

Because of this, he always gives his all, incorporating his love for science and his high expectations for his students into every word and every action.

In the elective courses, students were either busy dealing with their own affairs or concentrating on completing assignments for other courses. Some even secretly fell asleep, while others were talking in low voices, and the whole classroom was filled with noise.

Zhong Yuemin felt very disappointed, but he still did not give up and tried hard to find ways to make students pay attention to his teaching.

Zhong Yuemin understood that boring theoretical explanations alone could not attract students' attention.

Therefore, Zhong Yuemin added some knowledge of research methodology according to the curriculum and selected some vivid and interesting cases from the systematic experience of later generations, hoping that these cases can resonate with students and stimulate their enthusiasm for the brief history of science.

Zhong Yuemin's voice echoed in the spacious computer classroom. His words were like a stream of clear water, penetrating the students' daily hustle and bustle.

"Students, we live in a fragmented and fragmented world."

Zhong Yuemin spoke slowly, his eyes sweeping across every seat, trying to establish a connection with every student. "In this fast-paced era, all judgments and decisions seem to be required to be made within a minute. But please allow me to remind you that such instant decision-making often fails to truly understand the complexity of the world."

Zhong Yuemin paused to let his words leave a deeper impression in the students' minds. "Science does not provide instant, short-term answers."

Zhong Yuemin continued, his tone full of awe and love for science. "It is a rigorous procedure for evaluating empirical knowledge. This procedure, after the exploration and summary of countless predecessors, can help us penetrate the fog of appearances, delve into the essence of the world, and understand those seemingly simple but actually complex phenomena."

Zhong Yuemin gave examples to illustrate that from the movement of particles in the microscopic world to the evolution of galaxies in the macroscopic universe, from the origin of life to the rise and fall of civilizations, all of them demonstrate the complexity and diversity of the world.

Science, through a series of systematic observations, experiments, reasoning and verification, gradually unveils these mysteries, allowing us to glimpse the truth of the world.

"Students!" Zhong Yuemin's voice became gentler and more powerful. "We are about to enter an era of information explosion. We need to cultivate our scientific thinking and critical thinking skills. Don't trust superficial and fragmented information, but learn to use scientific methods to analyze, judge and make decisions. Only in this way can we keep a clear mind and make the right choices in a complex world."

As Zhong Yuemin explained, the originally noisy classroom gradually quieted down. Students raised their heads one after another, their eyes sparkling with unprecedented concentration and curiosity.
