Chapter 984 Thank You so Much
While Uncle Shen Muke and Aunt Shen were stunned, Su Ming continued to chat happily with Professor Joseph on the phone: "Professor Joseph, my call won't disturb you, right?"
"No, how could this happen? I didn't expect you to call me, Mr. Su. To use an old Chinese saying, this is called... flattering." Joseph said on the phone.
It's hard to imagine that a person from country M would be so polite to a Chinese, but that's the fact. Even if the relatives of Shen Muke's family can't understand Joseph's English, they can still feel the kind of English in Joseph's tone. Respect, tone of voice is like a smile, it is universal all over the world.
No wonder Professor Joseph reacted this way, mainly because during the last academic exchange at Ningcheng Medical University, he wanted to take the opportunity to suppress Chinese medicine, but who would have thought that he would be slapped in the face by Su Ming.
Most foreigners have this character. If you slap them in the face, if you use their true strength, not only will they not be angry, but they will feel convinced and full of respect. Professor Joseph is a typical example.
He was deeply impressed by Su Ming's medical skills. Even after returning to Country M, he not only facilitated the cooperation between the University of Tennessee and Ningcheng Medical University, but also personally studied Chinese medicine for a period of time, and found that Chinese medicine was indeed not as bad as he had previously thought. , on the contrary, there are many merits in it.
"Mr. Su, I wonder why you called me in person this time?" After Professor Joseph told Su Ming a few words about old times, he was not stupid and could guess that Su Ming probably had something to do.
Su Ming didn't hide it anymore. The phone charges for international roaming were quite expensive, so Su Ming got straight to the point: "Professor Joseph, I really want to ask you for help. Please listen to me first."
"I have a friend. He is an excellent student. He very much hopes to get the opportunity to study at the University of Tennessee. I hope I can give him a chance to take the exam..." Su Ming gave an overview of the matter.
In fact, Su Ming himself didn't know what kind of temper foreigners were. If Joseph didn't agree, he would think of another way, such as getting a quota from Ningcheng Medical University, but in that case , it will be more troublesome.
Fortunately, Joseph was not as rigid as Su Ming thought. He didn't even think about it and said directly: "There is no problem at all. The door of our University of Tennessee is open to outstanding talents from all countries."
"What's the name of your friend? As long as his grades are up to standard, I will give him a chance." Professor Joseph agreed immediately.
"Thank you so much, Professor Joseph!"
Su Ming was also very happy to say thank you, and told him Liu Zhiwei's name and other basic information. Liu Zhiwei had applied for admission to the University of Tennessee. Joseph only needed to use the computer to search in the school's database. You can check it out directly.
After hanging up the phone, Su Ming smiled and said to Liu Zhiwei: "Just wait a moment. I have already said hello to the professor at their school and will give you a chance."
"Thank you, Su...Su Ming, thank you so much."
Liu Zhiwei was also quite excited, and this kid should be the type who is easily nervous. After saying this, his face turned red again.
Su Ming originally wanted to say something polite, but he was interrupted by his aunt on the side: "Are you stupid, why are you thanking him?"
"Who knows who he called just now. Maybe he just found a foreigner to act as a caretaker. I don't believe that a professor from the University of Tennessee would know him." My aunt still had the same sarcastic face. He made it clear that he didn't believe Su Ming.
Su Ming was not angry and said directly: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Let's eat first. You should receive a reply soon."
——————————
Professor Joseph's work is very efficient.
Su Ming finally asked him to do something, and it was not a big deal. It was just a piece of cake for him. Joseph immediately put aside some of the things he was doing and went to finish the matter that Su Ming asked him to do first. Well, when I heard it on the phone just now, Su Ming seemed quite anxious.
It was just a matter of reviewing a student's admission application materials. As a famous professor at the University of Tennessee, Joseph still had this power, so he got it done directly.
"Ding dong——"
While eating here, Liu Zhiwei remembered his cell phone. It was a reminder of a letter coming from his mailbox. Liu Zhiwei opened his mailbox and took a look. The result was incredible and he was dumbfounded.
My aunt noticed that something was suddenly wrong with her son, so she asked in confusion: "Zhiwei, what's wrong?"
"Mom, the University of Tennessee sent me an email, saying that my admission application has been approved. I can just go back and take the test." Liu Zhiwei's face turned red with excitement.
"What???"
Shen Muke's brother-in-law and aunt were both a little frightened and quickly snatched away his son Liu Zhiwei's cell phone. After seeing the email, they were both stunned for a moment.
This is indeed from the University of Tennessee. This international email address is real and definitely not fake. In other words, my son’s admission application that was rejected before was suddenly approved?
"Could it be that Su Ming's phone call just now played a very key role in it?" The two of them were not stupid. They thought of this immediately, and their faces looked a little ugly for a moment.
At this time, Su Ming deliberately said: "Zhiwei, don't be too happy. This is just an opportunity. Whether you can go to school there depends on your own efforts."
What does Su Ming mean by this? The approval of the admission application and the fact that you can stay there to go to school are completely different things. It just gives Liu Zhiwei a chance. There will be inspections after arriving there. It depends on Liu Zhiwei himself. Yes.
It is almost impossible to directly make Liu Zhiwei an official student of the University of Tennessee. Let alone Professor Joseph, I am afraid that even the president of the University of Tennessee cannot do it.
Liu Zhiwei naturally understands these truths. Even an opportunity is already very precious. You must know that he has spent a lot of effort before and didn't even get this opportunity.
So Liu Zhiwei was filled with gratitude and said, "Su Ming, thank you so much. Without your help, I might never have a chance in this life."
