Chapter 51: and translation of title, then ===GLOSSARY=== with list of named entities appearing in these lines

Just looking at the decoration inside this small room, it should all be newly done; from every aspect you can see that Harbin Institute of Technology really put thought into me.

After seeing this, Li Mingyang also inevitably felt a hint of regret.

If I had known my living conditions would be like this, I shouldn't have spent so much money on this laptop at the beginning.

This amount of money could buy a quite good, even top‑performance desktop computer.

In terms of performance, laptops still lag far behind desktops.

After all, when pursuing size, performance and cost‑performance simply cannot compare.

Comfortable!

Lying on the small living‑room sofa, Li Mingyang let out a heartfelt sigh.

Today he finally understood what one‑stop service means; they thought that after signing up, moving into the dormitory would still take some time.

But he really didn't expect that the school had already taken care of all this long ago.

I really just moved in with my luggage!

Moreover, living in the faculty apartment has another nice benefit: time freedom, not being affected by dormitory curfew.

Sometimes when I want to go out for a late‑night snack, I can come and go completely freely.

Looking again at the small coffee table in front of me, the student ID, meal card, etc., have all been prepared for me.

This is a little surprise specially prepared for Li Mingyang by President Zheng: not only are tuition and miscellaneous fees waived, but each month the meal card also contains two thousand yuan.

Hey, Mom, I've arrived.

After resting a few minutes, Li Mingyang finally remembered to call his mother.

However, when seeing the background in Li Mingyang's video, his mother couldn't help but wonder:

"Where are you, kid? Could it be that on the first day of school you went straight to a hotel?"

"Haven't you finished cleaning up the dormitory yet? Can't you move in?"

Seeing her son sitting on the sofa, his mother felt this really shouldn't be something a dorm could have; it's more like a high‑priced hotel.

Ordinary hotels don't have sofas and coffee tables like this.

Hehe, I really am in my dormitory before; didn't President Zheng say I could have a single dormitory?

I originally thought they might just carve out a separate room for me in the dorm building, but I never expected they'd directly prepare a faculty apartment for me.

Let me show you around, Mom; this is a separate one‑bedroom, one‑living‑room design, and the decoration and furniture all look quite new.

I suspect they tidied it up during the vacation.

While speaking, Li Mingyang picked up his phone and gave his mother a remote tour of his dorm.

Balcony, living room, coffee table, sofa, even equipped with a 75‑inch large TV; then the kitchen, with all kinds of utensils complete, plus a double‑door refrigerator.

The bedroom also has a brand‑new large bed, at least 1.8 meters by 2 meters.

Even in the wardrobe, thoughtfully, all bedding is provided, so Li Mingyang doesn't need to buy anything at all.

After all, even the bathroom has all toiletries complete; Li Mingyang really can't think of anything else he needs to buy.

After this tour, his mother also couldn't help but fall silent.

With these conditions, you tell me you're going to university?

After being silent for a while, his mother finally managed to say:

"Son, it's clear President Zheng really values you; you must study hard at school and never disappoint his expectations."

With this level of thoughtfulness, even if Mom asks herself, she feels she couldn't do it either.

It's practically nanny‑level service; basically every conceivable aspect has been thoroughly prepared.

"Mom, just relax; you still don't know what kind of person I am?"

"Besides, this is the major I chose myself, it's my own hobby; studying is definitely nothing you two need to worry about."

Just as his mother was about to say something, Li Mingyang's phone rang—it was President Zheng calling.

"Mom, I'll talk later; the president is calling me, I'll answer first." After saying that, Li Mingyang hastily hung up.

"Student Li Mingyang, you've arrived at the dorm, right? Check if there's anything unsatisfactory or not fully prepared; if so, communicate with the teacher promptly."

"At that time I'll have them get everything ready for Student Li Mingyang."

The first thing President Zheng said was to directly concern himself with Li Mingyang's living environment and whether Li Mingyang was satisfied with it.

Leaving other things aside, just this attitude makes anyone who hears it feel warm inside.

At this moment, Li Mingyang can say he is extremely fortunate to have chosen Harbin Institute of Technology; if it were another school, he wouldn't even dare dream of such treatment.

"No, everything's fine, President Zheng. By the way, I don't know why you called me."

Given such an environment, what could Li Mingyang possibly be dissatisfied with? This is already a huge surprise.

After giving a sincere answer, Li Mingyang brought up the main point, knowing that someone as busy as President Zheng wouldn't call without a reason.

Rather than chatting aimlessly here and wasting time, it's better to get straight to the point so the old man doesn't have to work overtime because he wasted time with me.

"It's not a big deal; just notifying Student Li Mingyang that your course schedule remains as we previously agreed—just follow it yourself."

"You just need to take the Professional course exam at the end of the term."

"Also, tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock in the school's Lab 7, your future teacher, Academician Wang Qiang, will be there waiting for you."

"If Student Li Mingyang has nothing else tomorrow, it's best to go to the lab a bit early."

Upon hearing this, Li Mingyang's inner joy could no longer be concealed; he beamed and immediately agreed.

"Understood, President Zheng; tomorrow I'll definitely be early at Lab 7 waiting for the teacher."

After hanging up, Li Mingyang could hardly keep from shouting out in delight.

Li Mingyang had long heard of Academician Wang Qiang's reputation; after confirming his major, he researched some of the leading figures in the industry.

Academician Wang Qiang is a top expert in domestic aircraft manufacturing, even arguably the most authoritative figure!

Who would have thought such a big shot would become my teacher—how could Li Mingyang not be delighted?

……

In the blink of an eye, time came to 10 a. m. the next day, Li Mingyang walked out of Laboratory No. 7 with a smile.

Originally I thought Academician Wang Qiang, who was also my teacher, should be a very stern person, but I never expected that he would be a kind little old man.

His speech was so kind and approachable, like a gentle spring breeze, and Li Mingyang recalled that his own performance just now should be not bad, right?

At least from the teacher's expression, he seemed quite satisfied with his performance.

Thinking this, Li Mingyang let out a genuine sigh of relief and set off for the cafeteria with a cheerful step.

He had rushed straight to the lab as soon as he woke up this morning, hadn't even had breakfast, and now that the interview was considered passed, he ought to treat himself to a good meal.

At the same time, on the other side, after Li Mingyang left, Wang Qiang also directly called President Zheng.

"Haha, you old brat, when I heard you forced an undergraduate student on me, I was quite unhappy."

"But considering our many years of friendship, I reluctantly came to take a look; if you don't meet my requirements, I won't give you face, you old guy."

"But I never expected that this time coming here would really give me a big surprise; this kid is absolutely a genius, a true genius."

"This major is inherently difficult; without someone to guide, even one or two years might not be enough to get started."

"But this kid, with just a vacation's worth of effort, has already self-studied up to the sophomore-year curriculum; I have a feeling that the Aircraft Design and Manufacturing major at Harbin Institute of Technology won't stay calm anymore."
