Chapter 577 Interview Notice
"Can I ask for advice on what to prepare for going to a school in the United States? Do I need to memorize questions? Is there any particular dress code?"
In the Shilan Middle School class group, someone suddenly sent a message asking for help. Many people in the group felt their phones vibrate or the icons in the lower right corner jump. They immediately clicked on it and saw the somewhat mean-looking big bear.
"Lu Mingfei, have you received an offer from a foreign school?" Zhao Menghua was the first to reply. When Chen Wenwen disappeared, he and Lu Mingfei had been angry for no reason for a while. After the matter calmed down, some inexplicable conflicts arose. It disappeared naturally, and no one remembered it anymore.
"Okay, I always thought you were joking when you said you wanted to study abroad!" Xu Miaomiao said.
"Which school should I go to in the United States? Ivy League or Pheasant University?"
"In your eyes, everything except Ivy is a pheasant?"
The quiet stagnant water suddenly became heated up, and the cheap big-headed bear popped up again. Before the atmosphere turned into a quarrel about which American school should go up, he quickly explained, "No, no, no, I mean what should I do when interviewing at American schools?" What? It’s an interview, it’s an interview, but I haven’t been accepted yet!”
"It's an interview." Xu Yanyan said. The two brothers fighting for the keyboard at the computer desk ignored him and shrugged, as if they had expected something.
“Interviews usually involve introducing yourself and explaining why you are interested in the school. They generally check your English proficiency and your understanding of the school you are applying for. In more complicated cases, the interviewer will ask you a few questions in the official language of the school. Generally, Ask about your usual personal grades and hobbies. Please note that in foreign schools, hobbies are more valuable than personal grades. American schools do not like nerds who study hard. MIT or Harvard, for example, pay more attention to applicants. If you have several potential patent applications or inventions, you will have a higher chance of being admitted." Zhao Menghua typed a long string of words eloquently, and the group was quiet for several minutes, everyone was probably watching carefully. , it can also be seen that there are actually some classmates in the class who are also interested in going abroad.
"I invented the technology of the gods to enslave mankind and quickly build nuclear bombs in "StarCraft", does it count as a personal ability?" The tone of the humble giant panda changed from a suppressed chuckle at the beginning to a worried one. I guess Is this the first time I know that there are so many inventions and patents in interviews? He is a liberal arts guy who knows nothing about engineering. If he insists on inventing something, he probably can only mention the patent he invented in kindergarten that allows underwear to be worn again if it gets dirty and backwards. I don’t know if anyone has invented it. Apply.
"Brother, it would be okay if you invented "StarCraft"," someone complained.
"But that means he can ask me questions in English, right? What if I can't even understand his questions?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Then it's probably gone, but no matter what the interview process, you need to go through the resume and self-introduction process. This cannot be avoided. Many people are rejected by speaking in this round. After all, you go to their country. You can't go to college if you can't speak the local official language fluently. Foreigners are very repulsive to students who study at the same time. Now major universities come to our country to grab the elites, and they are ready to use favorable conditions to keep the elites and tame them. ." Zhao Menghua said, "But if I go abroad, I have to come back after graduation. I have to contribute to the country, right?"
"I can feel Mr. Zhao's determination to serve the country. I am very touched. I am willing to use this as an example to study abroad!" A flattering brother hurriedly followed.
"Oh oh oh, received, thank you, thank you. I happen to have a buddy from abroad who plays games. I'll try to help him practice his accent through voice connection." Lu Mingfei said.
"But let me ask one more question, Lu Mingfei, the interview notice you received shouldn't be at the Regent Hotel, right?" Zhao Menghua suddenly typed and asked.
In front of an old-style laptop, Lu Mingfei, wearing a T-shirt and big pants, was about to close the chat interface. He paused with the mouse, a dazed expression appeared on his face, reached out and typed, "Yes."
"When is the interview?"
"At eight thirty tomorrow morning?" Liu Miaomiao suddenly said in the group.
"Let me go, haven't you all received the interview notice?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help it, everyone was shocked, "You have all received the interview notice from Kassel College?"
"Kassel College?" someone posted in the group. After a while, the group went crazy. The records that kept refreshing the screen repeatedly repeated the name of this school and the name of a boy who left their class early to go to this college. .
"Isn't this the college where Lin Nian studied?"
"I remember, didn't Su Xiaoqiang also yell at this school before? I heard that it is very difficult to get into, but now the school is finally willing to send out interview notices? Does the boss mean that he has also received the interview notice?"
"Boss, have you submitted your resume to that school?"
"Bullshit, how can you get an interview if you don't submit your resume?"
"No, I really didn't submit my resume to them. I applied to Stanford and Chicago. I passed the latter one, but I probably failed the first one if I haven't heard from them yet," Zhao Menghua said. "I'm also curious why the interview notice was sent to me. If I hadn't seen that it was indeed my name on it, I would have almost thought they sent it to the wrong place."
"Lu Mingfei has received it. Boss, if you receive it, there will be no problem. Liu Miaomiao has also received it? That's awesome. How many other buddies in the class have been notified?"
The group was quiet for a while, and no one answered. After a while, Zhao Menghua said, "I called Chen Wenwen and asked, and she said she also received it. There should be no one else, right?"
"Where's Su Xiaoqiang?" Someone asked, "She should have one too, right?"
"1." A picture of a selfie taken in a cafe appeared. The group comment was Su Xiaoqiang, and a simple and clear 1 was deducted.
"Absolutely, I can understand that Liu Miaomiao, Chen Wenwen, Su Xiaoqiang and the boss can receive the interview notice, but why is it that Lu Mingfei has me and not me?" Someone shouted directly, "How does Cassel College select people? ?”
Lu Mingfei didn't say anything. If he didn't know what kind of place Kassel College was, he would have to refute why he couldn't receive the interview notice. But now he is probably half an insider. Yes, that time behind the Pearl Tower The little goddess and he were interrogated separately. Some of the drunken nonsense that the golden-eyed Japanese said still had no effect on him, and he got out together with the confused crowd. Nothing happened.
This time, he paid special attention to Su Xiaoqiang, who appeared in the school again later, and found that the other party had no intention of "exchanging information" with him. He probably knew that he could only handle the truth of the matter this time. The key was to meet him. What he saw when he arrived was so much that he couldn't accept it for a while. Now he was completely stunned. He just stayed there until the interview notice came.
Is there something wrong with this interview notice? He couldn't help but think that the people in Kassel College were not kind-hearted people. The men in black trench coats and silver World Tree school badges who were marching resolutely that night left a deep impression on him. They were all murderous. The harsh criticism is enough to show how big the problem is in this college.
But now the confused Kassel College actually sent him an interview notice. He doesn't necessarily think he has the qualifications to eliminate violence and maintain world peace, right? It was difficult for him to stop any school violence, but he was the only one who suffered from school violence.
"Is the postman who delivers your letters a man or a woman?" Su Xiaoqiang asked in the group.
"Good question. I haven't noticed it before." Zhao Menghua was stunned by this question.
"They are all delivered to the mailroom by the postman, right?" Liu Miaomiao said.
"Have you also received Nokia?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"What Nokia?"
"The package was sent with the letter. The school gave me an N96." Lu Mingfei said, "It's brand new. I even checked to see if it was a parallel import."
"I didn't," Liu Miaomiao said.
"You were notified of the interview and you brought a mobile phone with you?" Xu Miaomiao was extremely surprised.
"Maybe it's because you are the only one who doesn't have a mobile phone." Zhao Menghua pointed out the truth. "My interview notice directly gave Professor Guderian's contact information. The same should be true for everyone else, right?"
Lu Mingfei choked, and the excitement he felt when looking at the N96 suddenly turned into shame. It turned out that even American universities knew the fact that he was a poor dog, and he didn't know whether to be happy or depressed.
"Can you send me a copy of your interview notice?" Su Xiaoqiang suddenly asked.
"Our interview notice?" Zhao Menghua was a little confused.
"Check something." Su Xiaoqiang said.
"The templates for things like interview notices should be the same, right? Except for the name on the header," Liu Miaomiao said and sent a picture. It was an A4 paper placed on a black piano cover, with the card on it. Interview notice from Al College, signed by Norma Lawns.
Lu Mingfei also took a look and found that other people's heads were different from his own. After all, his head was a bit embarrassing. He was first rejected by the University of Chicago and then introduced himself to Kassel College, which had a twist of events. There was always a feeling that he was The University of Chicago threw his resume into the trash and was picked up by Cassel College who was walking out. He felt that the Asian guy on his resume looked good, so he gave him a chance to interview.
"Same as mine." Liu Miaomiao sent his interview notice, and Zhao Menghua did not send it. Even Lu Mingfei awkwardly said the same thing, but Zhao Menghua seemed to have noticed something and asked, "Su Xiaoqiang, your Is it different? What else did the other person say? "
"I didn't say anything. Just a few more strange names." Su Xiaoqiang said.
"Weird name? Can you post it if it's convenient?" Zhao Menghua seemed a little curious. After all, the only one among them who received the interview notice was Su Xiaoqiang, who had been paying attention to Kassel College for a long time. Maybe he would pay attention to the college's subsequent interviews in advance. Will there be preferential treatment here? If this is the case, they can prepare themselves mentally in advance.
Su Xiaoqiang was quiet for a while and didn't speak, seeming to be thinking about it. Seeing this, Zhao Menghua probably knew what he meant and said, "Just forget it's inconvenient."
But immediately after that, a photo was posted in the group. Everyone clicked it and took a look and were immediately surprised by the long list of professors’ names that made people gasp. Each professor was signed in front of it: “ For the position of "tenured professor", you can even directly see the name with the title of "principal", which also lets everyone know the name of the president of this Kassel college.
"I'll go. Is this a letter of recommendation to jointly go to Beijing? Even the principal is in it. Doesn't this mean it's a direct decision? There's even an interview!" Many buddies were shocked by this interview notice that clearly revealed a sense of nobility. I was so shocked. This was not an interview notice. This was just a way to show off the little goddess’s high and strong connections! The high-ranking cadres in the next circle had a hard time getting into the school and couldn't find a school with connections. Even the principal there "unanimously assessed" that Su Xiaoqiang had the potential to attend the college. All he had to do was appoint him an official and make a wish to come to our school. I will give you a scholarship directly.
"Has your father found a relationship for you?" Someone was enamored by the notice with "relationship" written between the lines. Several emojis of him kneeling down under the little goddess's denim overalls were sent out.
"No." Su Xiaoqiang said.
"The principal has come out to support you, and you haven't done it yet. So you don't have to go to the interview at all, right? Just go through the motions and get the offer directly?" Xu Miaomiao sighed, "Why does this feel like Lin Nian did at the beginning, there was no interview, and he just packed it up Just get on the plane and leave.”
"Su Xiaoqiang, do you still have contact with Lin Nian?" Zhao Menghua asked suddenly, as if something suddenly occurred to him.
Su Xiaoqiang fell silent, and the class group was quiet for a few seconds. Everyone in front of the screen showed a look of realization. No wonder, if Su Xiaoqiang is telling the truth, he really doesn’t have any connections at home. This interview notice is full of connections. How it came about is somewhat intriguing.
"Boss Lin is tall and tough. He really values the friendship between classmates, but why didn't you get one for me?" someone said sourly.
"Brother, if you consider changing your surname to Lin in the future, you might have a chance."
"Thank you, I'll consider it."
There was constant teasing in the class group, but Su Xiaoqiang didn't respond. However, Lu Mingfei felt a little sad when he saw Su Xiaoqiang's special notice. After the incident that day, Lin Nian didn't take the initiative to contact him. He was also afraid of the reason why he was exposed. Lin Nian.
Lin Nian's appearance that night and the outrageous data flow on his shoulders scared him. He never imagined that the owner of the Pearl Tower who saw all question marks and special skills that were so long that it was difficult to understand was him. He is an "old friend", but now he has to believe it even if he doesn't believe it. The first time he saw this interview notice, he actually had some illusion that it was specially sent to him by Lin Nian. If this was really the case, should he accept it or not? catch?
Just when Lu Mingfei was still brainstorming, a message suddenly popped up in the group that made everyone stunned. After this message was sent out, no one said anything for at least two minutes. .
"Don't be late tomorrow morning at 8:00 for the Regent Hotel administrative staff. x-on:Chen Wenwen, x-on:Lu Mingfei, x-on:Su Xiaoqiang, x-on:Zhao Menghua." The speaker held the note from the class group on his head, Lin Year.
"Damn, I said Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here. If you didn't say anything, I thought you had quit the group." Xu Yanyan was the first to speak. Apart from Lu Mingfei in the class, his relationship with Lin Nian was pretty good. After all, he was also half A fan of the school basketball team, and Lin Nian has always been the main player in the school team.
But surprisingly, Lin Nian ignored Xu Yanyan and continued alone x-on:Su Xiaoqiang continued, "The main focus of tomorrow's interview will be on you. Remember to be prepared. Many people are paying attention to you. Don't let They were disappointed."
"Tsk, tsk, what a focus, maybe this is the ugly face of the related party!" someone laughed.
Su Xiaoqiang, who should have been shy here, did not answer immediately. Instead, he was quiet for a while, almost at the same time with Lu Mingfei. x-on:Lin Nian then asked, "Who are you?"
