Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

The second week after the exam, the grades came out.

R30 + L30 + S29 + W29 for 118 points.

Not a full score?

Writing is understandable with a deduction, but this spoken word...

The Ark is curious to know exactly where this 1 point was deducted.

But it doesn't matter, the 118 TOEFL score is pretty bad, and the average college score line is only 100. If he intends to study for a master's degree abroad in the future, he can hold this score without worrying about the language at all.

On the day after receiving TOEFL's report card, the Ark received an e-mail from the Embassy informing him to go to the Shanghai listed embassy to sign it.

After buying the tickets, the ark took the account book and a bunch of materials that might or might not be used, took the high-speed train and stepped on the trip to Shanghai.

And by the way, it was his first time in this internationalized metropolis.

A hotel near the Embassy opened a room and took a night off.

The following morning, the ark took the materials to the embassy and consulate.

In time of peak holiday travel, the downstairs of the building is crowded into the street next to it. There are white collars for business trips, families that travel abroad with them, and students who go abroad to participate in summer camps or discipline competitions. Of course, there are impure motives.

From morning to afternoon, there was also a meal in the middle, and the ark was finally squeezed into the building.

However, when he came in, he realized that the queue had just begun...

……

It has to be said that visa processing is a torturous matter.

There are no cell phones to play with, and no one I know beside me. The ark can only look around boringly at the lady's time.

At this point, he suddenly heard a man and a woman behind him, as if they were discussing studying abroad. Because the man spoke louder, and although the ark was not very interested, he heard it.

The skinny boy, probably an international student.

The girl standing next to him may be his girlfriend studying in the country, or he may be a better connected female friend or something.

In a tone of superiority, the man talked without regard for the volume.

“… in my years of study in Virginia, what was the biggest feeling, what kind of environment, what kind of individuals, just the garbage universities in the country, could learn to look like? No more mixed days, mixed diplomas. When you get to America, I can show you around our school. If you look at a few lessons, you will find that the professors there and the professors at domestic universities are not at all at the same level. ”

Map cannon, man.

Just keep your voice down. If you hear it, don't hear it. But the bias is not small.

The Ark couldn't help but say, “Not necessarily. I think it's up to you to learn how to do it badly, but it's up to you. ”

When he heard the puke, the man stopped talking.

Looking back at the ark, he slightly picked his eyebrows and impatiently asked: "Oh, which college are you from? ”

“Kim Dae. ”

“Jinling University? Oh, 985,” The man laughed and laughed, with a slight mockery in his tone, "Not bad at home, but the world ranks, I'm afraid TOP 100 is going to have to go out? You look like you're traveling, you'll find out when you get out, even if you can get over 600 points in the country, it's nothing out there. ”

Anyway, the queue was idle, and the ark laughed and twisted: “I did get the offer from NYU's Crown Institute of Mathematical Sciences, but I didn't go. ”

The man laughed, “Smile, you don't apply for college, someone else gives you a furry offer. Dude, you're such a dick. Can you hit the draft first? ”

As soon as the Ark heard this, it was fun: “I haven't really applied yet. They have to send me an offer. What can I do? ”

The man looked at the ark like an idiot: "Oh, I also got the White House offer, Obama himself wrote to me to be an international relations advisor... bragging about who wouldn't! Have you talked to the cow? ”

MDZZ!

The Ark is too lazy to argue about anything.

Reasonable debates can take a while, but it's pointless to mess around.

From the perspective of an ark, learning this thing, or is it personal? Environmental impacts are certain, but not absolute. As long as Ken puts his kung fu into it, he won't necessarily be able to get out of the bull. If he touches fish all day and punches soy sauce, even if he enters Mizuki Swallow University, he will learn scum. It has no system, no talent, no half-money relationship.

The same goes for studying this stuff abroad.

Soon, it's his turn.

Behind the window is a young, blonde-haired young lady in her twenties, probably an intern who approached the holiday and pulled up. But like an intern, the fluent Mandarin speaks even more standard than the people of Shanghai. I can't tell which country she is without looking at her face.

faceless, the lady asked routinely.

“Why go to America? ”

Ark: “I was invited to the Princeton Mathematics Academic Conference and there was a 30-minute report waiting for me. ”

“Princeton Academic Conference?” Listening to Princeton, Miss Visa Officer looked at the ark in surprise, perhaps thinking he was too young to pause for a while before continuing, “May I look at your invitation? ”

“Of course, here. ”

The invitation from Princeton was removed from the file bag and the ark was placed in the window.

After accepting the invitation, the young lady carefully examined it and then knocked on the keyboard a few more times.

It may not be possible to confirm that she also approached an older colleague next door to ask him for his opinion.

After a while, the authenticity of the invitation was finally verified.

The visa officer's sister left her passport and returned the other materials to the ark, smiling. “Have a nice trip, sir. ”

“Thanks.”

The ark nodded and took the material away.

Standing behind the ark, the man stared at the back of the ark's departure.

Princeton…

Even if he had no knowledge of mathematics, and had studied in the United States for so long, he would not even know what Ivy Eight Alliance schools were.

Forget Princeton. Either of the Eight Alliance schools is no match for the Virginia Polytechnic that he paid to get in.

Not to mention being invited to an academic conference.

Was invited…

After about ten seconds, the girl next to him, Qi Liuhai, whispered weakly.

“I think I've seen him somewhere...”

The man returned to God and asked subconsciously, "Where? ”

The girl whispered: "On the neck… his name, like Lu or something? It was just a while ago that the undergraduate student at Jinling University solved that mathematical dilemma. ”

His face was a little hot. The man blushed, but he didn't want to lose face in front of his girlfriend. He said with a hard mouth: “It's just a mathematical issue, there's a hairy use, the domestic media is shocked...”

As soon as that was said, someone laughed.

An uncle who was also in line couldn't help laughing: “It's useless, so let everyone's daily newspaper freak out and take a million scholarships. ”

The man blushed and stopped talking.

He found out himself, pretending to find the wrong person, pretending to be a dick...
