Chapter 481 The difference between going this year and going next year

To be honest, Bruce is indeed worried about Yao Ming's English proficiency. If his English fails, how can he pass the TOEFL? Besides, in the 1990s, English in China was not popular yet, and junior high school students only started to learn the most basic English textbooks. Bruce doesn't know what level of English proficiency Yao Ming's English proficiency is.

Li Qiuping was obviously stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Bruce would ask Yao Ming how good his English was. But he decided that it would be better to tell the truth.

"Crown Prince, this is the case. Since I came back this year, I have directly contacted Yao Ming. Yao Ming's family knew that Yao Ming would go abroad to play basketball in the future and found an English tutor for Yao Ming in advance. I'm afraid I have been teaching Yao Ming English for the past few months, so if you want to ask Yao Ming's current English level, I really don't know." Li Qiuping asked a little embarrassedly.

This is true. Li Qiuping has been busy convincing Yao Ming’s parents to let Yao Ming study and play football abroad. He has never asked whether Yao Ming himself can speak English.

"What should I do?! What about the English tutor invited by Yao Ming's family?!" Bruce raised his eyebrows and asked directly.

Whatever you are afraid of, Bruce is afraid that Yao Ming will fail the TOEFL. Oh, do you think foreign universities can let domestic students go to school for no reason? It is difficult to study in those universities without the certificate of international students. It is simply said that they play basketball. The management of their universities all need to do things according to their certificates.

Of course, unless there is a situation where foreign universities send people to China for inspection, and find Yao Ming outstanding in strength, and with their guarantee, he can be exempted from studying abroad. After all, the universities there will definitely help you handle everything, just wait for you to enter the university directly.

But Yao Ming is different. He was not from someone who came to inspect the university, but was just a private sponsor of Bruce, so Yao Ming also had to pass the TOEFL.

So the quality of Yao Ming’s English tutor completely determines whether he can study in the United States with Bruce this year. If Yao Ming cannot stay in the United States this year, then he will have to go directly to university to try out alone next year.

Because at the age of 18, you can go to college, so don’t think about high school, but this obviously goes against Bruce’s original intention. Bruce just wants Yao Ming to come to the United States one year in advance, and is preparing to let Yao Ming lay a solid foundation one year earlier. Whether it is cultural differences or eating habits, these need to be adapted. If Yao Ming can adapt to high school one year in advance, it will definitely help him in his college career.

If Yao Ming goes directly to university next year, he needs to adapt to the cultural differences and eating habits in the United States as soon as possible. For Yao Ming, who wants to gain a foothold in the NCAA field as soon as possible, he will definitely be under great pressure. He will not communicate in English. Why do he give you a starting position? No matter how strong your personal strength is, basketball is always a team sport. Those veteran university head coaches will not give a starting position for a player who needs translation and explanation when speaking. It is not a club. Is this a university good?

"Sorry, Prince, I don't know much about this. It's my fault. I didn't do my job well. I'll call me to ask later." Li Qiuping knew that he obviously didn't do my job well this time, so he could only answer apologetically.

He did forget to ask Yao Ming how he was doing in English, and hoped that at least he could have a good answer.

"Forget it? I'll give the person in charge of Tianhan Empire Company in the Magic City later? Let them arrange a person with good Chinese and English to come and guide Yao Ming in English personally, and casually introduce him to life, entertainment and things that you should pay attention to in the United States."

"You must be a good supervisor here, and you must supervise Yao Ming to learn English well? At least you have to pass the TOEFL test? It's only May, and there is still one month left. I hope you must work overtime during this period. If Yao Ming needs anything, you can satisfy whatever you want. Teacher Li, I will give it to you. You must supervise Yao Ming well!" Bruce said to Li Qiuping in the following command tone.

There is nothing I can do? Bruce could only call the person in charge of the China branch of Tianhan Empire Company in the Magic City and asked them to arrange a person with good Chinese and English to come and guide Yao Ming in English personally, preferably a foreigner? In this way, he could also introduce the customs and customs of America and some things that he should pay attention to in daily life.

It’s also a blessing that Bruce set up the branch of the Tianhan Empire in the Demon City in advance? Every year, some foreigners come to work in the Demon City? Otherwise, they would have to transfer people from the New York headquarters. I don’t know how much time it will be wasted this time.

In addition, to be on the safe side, Li Qiuping must be asked to suppress Yao Ming to review in person? Time is not waiting for anyone!

Bruce himself felt that time was very tight, not to mention that Yao Ming, who had just been in English for a short time this year? He also hoped that Yao Ming could pass the exam? Fortunately, there was still a little time, so it should not be difficult to take the TOEFL in high school.

He didn't know if the TOEFL was easy to take in the 1990s. After all, Bruce had never studied abroad, and he was a poor student. He really didn't have much say in this issue. However, with English as a base in his previous life, it would not be too difficult for the TOEFL in junior high school. No matter what, he had communicated with foreigners before, and TOEFL in junior high school is still not difficult for him, such as grammar and listening.

"Okay, I understand. I will definitely supervise Yao Ming to learn English in the next time." Li Qiuping replied helplessly.

Why did he suddenly feel that he was studying with the prince.

That's right? The prince regarded Yao Ming too important and arranged someone to teach Yao Ming English. Is it necessary to exaggerate it?

"Well, just understand. In addition, I have already told Mr. Paul about your trip to Seattle, and he also agreed. He asked you to report directly to General Manager Bob at that time, and you only have a year to go to Seattle. Of course, all your expenses in Seattle will be reimbursed for you, and you must return to New York in a year." Bruce told Li Qiuping his decision.

Rick Carlisle will not go to Seattle, so Li Qiuping will not have to stay there all the time. Originally, Bruce's original plan was to let Rick Carlisle and Li Qiuping have a companion in Seattle. After all, it would take about three years. It was too long to have a partner to study with him. But who knew that the plan could not keep up with the changes, so he could only stay in Seattle for a year. When Yao Ming entered college, he could be completely liberated.

"Crown Prince, why has it changed for three years? What happened?!" Li Qiuping asked in confusion.

Originally, Li Qiuping didn't like to be Yao Ming's "nanny", but who made Bruce look good? Bruce convinced the leader of the Basketball Management Center that the leader asked to take good care of Yao Ming, the future "outstanding talent", so he could only obey the leader's arrangements, but now what's going on in three years?!

Li Qiuping felt it was necessary to ask clearly because things have been changing all the time, so it was not convenient for him to do other things. For example, whether to rent a house in Seattle or something, whether to rent it for one year or three years, this must be explained in advance.
