In April, there was finally definite news about the international students. The school had applied for a place to study in the United States.
This is the first time the school has successfully applied for a quota since the resumption of the college entrance examination, which shows how precious it is.
The hospital specially held a seminar, and finally, with the unremitting efforts of Huang Jianjun and Chen Yinchu, they finally secured this spot for the Department of Foreign Languages.
"Is there a student named Jiang Yuwei in your department?" After the meeting, the principal suddenly said.
Huang Jianjun and Chen Yinchu looked at each other, and the latter nodded and replied: "Yes, the students from the 1977 class are in the class I teach."
"She has good grades, right?"
Chen Yinchu: "Well, I can get a scholarship every year."
Principal: "The selection of international students this time is a top priority. You must strictly control the selection. If you are a good candidate, you must not be buried."
Chen Yinchu and Huang Jianjun both knew in their hearts that although the principal didn't say it explicitly, his meaning had been made very clear that he preferred Jiang Yuwei.
"Leader, there is another student in our class whose grades are on par with Jiang Yuwei's. He has been working as a teaching assistant in the mathematics department. He is definitely a good kid with both good character and academic performance."
The selection of candidates should not be based solely on appearance, but also must be based on long-term considerations. Chen Lishu intends to stay in school and will definitely be the backbone of the department when she returns from studying abroad. He is old, and even if he wants to teach for a few more terms, his body and energy will not allow it.
Huang Jianjun echoed: "Old Chen, I remember that on the day of the opening ceremony, she was the freshman representative and she went on stage to speak?"
"Yes, that's the child."
"Having said that, I remembered that she was the one who founded the English Corner and accepted interviews with newspapers on behalf of our school, right?"
"No, I have advanced ideas, active work, and help classmates from time to time. I have a good reputation among the public."
headmaster:"……"
He just asked how these two people were, and they came to him to sing the oboe.
"Government-sponsored study abroad is a big deal. Although this is only the first year, it is definitely not the last year. In the future, our college will have more opportunities for students to go abroad. In short, you must pay attention to it, strictly control it, do a good job in review, and recommend participation
Students taking the exam must be outstanding students with clean family political backgrounds and comprehensive development of moral, intellectual, physical, artistic and physical skills.”
Coming out of the principal's office, Huang Jianjun patted Chen Yinchu on the shoulder: "How are you, Mr. Chen? Are you cooperative?"
"If you don't even give me this face, don't expect me to play chess with you, a bad chess player."
After saying this, both of them couldn't help laughing.
"I'll leave the quota matter to you. After all, there's only one quota, and there's no point in having too many people. I think it's better just the two of them. No matter what, it still depends on the test results."
Chen Yinchu nodded, and after returning to the office, he called Chen Lishu and Jiang Yuwei to the office.
"I believe you also know the purpose of calling you two here this time. The quota for government-sponsored international students has been reduced, but due to various reasons, there is only one quota in our school. I called you two here because your usual performance and grades are very good.
Excellent, but you will eventually have to take the exam to study abroad. The exam is divided into two stages: written test and interview. You should prepare well during this period..."
Coming out of Chen Yinchu's office, Jiang Yuwei couldn't help but glance in the direction of Chen Lishu. She was bound to get the place to study abroad this time. Originally, her grandfather had already said hello to the principal, but she didn't expect that Chen Lishu could still participate even so, and
I just watched the conversation between her and Chen Yinchu, and it is obvious that they have a very close relationship.
The exam is divided into a written test and an interview. Jiang Yuwei thinks that the two of them should be similar in the written test, but it is difficult to say in the interview. After all, Chen Lishu's spoken English is better than ordinary teachers, otherwise she would not be a teaching assistant.
"Why, why are you looking at me like that? Don't you know me?" Feeling Jiang Yuwei's gaze, Chen Lishu turned her head and asked with a smile.
"The quota for international students this time will definitely be mine." After saying that, Jiang Yuwei turned around and walked away from the stairs on the other side.
…
Yang Lili saw the two of them being called to the teacher's office together, and then entering the classroom door. She suddenly realized something, and the pen she held in her hand made a "crunching" sound due to the force she held.
After working hard for so long, in the end you still didn’t even get a chance to compete fairly and participate in the selection?
"Lishu, what did the teacher tell you to say?" Zhang Xue saw her coming and asked curiously: "Are you talking about the government-sponsored students abroad? Are you going abroad? Will drinking foreign ink hurt me, a good friend?
Forgot?"
"How is that possible?" Chen Lishu smiled: "Even if you can go, you will only be back in a year at most. Don't worry, you are so caring and sweet, and no one will forget you."
"Hey, I knew you were the best to me."
"Click." The pen in Yang Lili's hand was eventually broken into two pieces due to excessive force.
After waking up, Yang Lili hurriedly put the broken pen into the desk hall, fearing that the classmates around her would notice something strange about her.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally stood up and left the classroom door as if he had made up his mind.
"Knock knock."
"Come in." Chen Yinchu was immersed in writing. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he looked up and was stunned when he saw Yang Lili coming in: "Is something wrong, Mr. Yang?"
He had some impressions of this classmate. He was usually a quiet student, but he worked very hard and had very good academic performance.
Yang Lili clenched her fingers hanging on both sides tightly, took a deep breath, raised her head and said, "Teacher, regarding this matter of international students, can you give me a chance to take the exam?"
This was the first time that she took the initiative to fight for herself. She was excited, nervous, and even a little timid and afraid. But now she had spoken. Even though her hands and feet were cold and numb, she still bit the bullet and organized the words that had been brewing in her heart for a long time.
He said it out loud: "I will definitely work harder and never let down the opportunity you gave me."
Chen Yinchu saw her nervousness and smiled and told her to relax: "It's okay. It's good that you have this idea of competition. I will go and talk to the department chair later. It shouldn't be a big problem."
I thought before that there was only one spot, and it would be pointless to ask so many people to take the exam. Now Yang Lili has proposed that she would like to take part. Her conditions are relatively satisfactory, but her grades are not as good as those of the top two. Now that she has taken the initiative, she
If Chen Yinchu wanted to participate, naturally he would not object.
Hearing Chen Yinchu's promise, Yang Lili breathed a long sigh of relief, and then her eyes turned slightly red with emotion, and she bowed heavily to Chen Yinchu: "Thank you, teacher, for giving me this opportunity."
Thinking of what he learned from his classmates, Chen Yinchu asked kindly: "Your family...if you are really selected, there won't be any problems, right?"
