Although Su Mingyu no longer needs to worry about the cost of studying in the United States, she still maintains a high-intensity working life. It was not until Li Jie came to talk to her about which school to apply for that she realized that it was not possible to continue like this.
Su Mingyu's first choice is of course Stanford University. Because of Li Jie, she is planning to apply for Stanford Business School. Stanford, as an elite private school, has resources that are beyond the reach of public universities.
Stanford Business School has the world's top teachers and a first-class student service team, with nearly a hundred full-time teachers, many of whom are Nobel Prize winners in economics. As a top school, its admissions are naturally picky. Every year, Stanford Business School admits The ratio is probably only about 6.
Su Mingyu's undergraduate degree is from Suzhou University's Normal School, which is undoubtedly a shortcoming. If you want to get in among thousands of troops, you must have a "golden finger", otherwise you are very likely to lose the election according to conventional methods.
In view of her status as a student, Li Jie suggested that she write her thesis. The five recognized authoritative journals in economics include econometrica, american economic review, journalpolitical economy, quarterly journaleconomics (Quarterly Journal of Economics), revieic studies (Review of Economic Studies).
However, it is really difficult to publish papers in these five major journals. Even Li Jie will spend a year or two in preparation. He suggested that Su Mingyu first publish a few academic papers in domestic journals, and then switch to other journals. Nine core journals, and finally one of the top five journals was published near graduation.
The most important thing in an economics paper is the data, and its accuracy needs to be absolutely guaranteed. The main text and appendices often run into dozens or hundreds of pages. If you don’t polish it carefully, you may not even pass the first review. Although Li Jie can help Su Mingyu write it, but in the past Su Mingyu's character would definitely not agree.
Therefore, Li Jie will only give Su Mingyu appropriate guidance. The real writer is Su Mingyu. Of course, Li Jie himself will write a few articles to at least make his resume look better.
At present, the wave of mobile Internet has just emerged. It is relatively simple for Li Jie to find the right direction and write a few papers through the eyes of future generations. Don't go too far in the direction of cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things, 3G, 4G and so on. many.
Su Mingyu chose Stanford. Li Jie did not choose the same school as her, but the Haas Business School next door, mainly to stagger the competition. Anyway, even if he went to school, he would not spend all his time on his studies. The United States will implement the direction he has planned long ago.
Haas School of Business is also one of the top ten business schools in the United States. Because its enrollment is smaller than that of Stanford Business School, its admissions ratio is even lower than that of Stanford Business School, with less than 1 applicant admitted.
Su Mingyu had not learned about the conditions for studying abroad in detail before. She thought that as long as she had good grades and high scores, she would be admitted. This had something to do with Su Mingzhe not mentioning it to Su Mingyu, because Su Mingzhe knew very well that with the conditions of the Su family There was no way to support two international students, so Su Mingzhe did not introduce him to Su Mingyu.
What makes Su Mingyu happy is that these two schools will provide scholarships of varying amounts, and the proportions are very high. As long as she can follow the path planned by Li Jie, she will not be able to escape a full scholarship.
Since then, Su Mingyu quit her part-time job at EF Education, leaving only part-time jobs as a tutor and in the library. She would never quit these two part-time jobs. Without the income from these two part-time jobs, her Daily life can become a problem.
At first, Li Jie considered asking her to resign completely, but considering Su Mingyu's temperament, he didn't mention it because he knew that even if he raised it, it would probably be nothing.
On the other hand, we had to try our best to ensure the quality of Su Mingyu's life. Su Mingyu had never written a paper before, and was confused about the format of the paper, submission rules, etc. In order to guide the paper, it was necessary to meet frequently. The two of them often got together in their spare time. When we are together, Li Jie will naturally take care of all the meals.
The two people often get together, which inevitably attracts the attention of others. Some rumors are frequently circulated in the school. The group of people in Su Mingyu's dormitory ask questions non-stop whenever they see Su Mingyu. The student's energy is too strong, and there is a little trouble. It can take a long time to discuss, especially since Li Jie's attention is already very high.
Su Mingyu was a little uncomfortable with it at first, but later she just let it go after seeing it more often. However, it was not without any impact. What was originally a good academic discussion was naturally mixed with a hint of ambiguity.
Thanks to the encouragement from the outside world, the relationship between the two gradually warmed up. Su Mingyu also gradually understood in her heart that she did not fall in love with Li Jie because she was moved, but she liked her from the bottom of her heart. As long as the two of them were together, the look on her face The smile never stopped.
After understanding the confusion in her heart, Su Mingyu's attitude towards Li Jie also changed subtly. This was difficult to escape Li Jie's eyes. After all, his resume was so rich that Su Mingyu was no match for him.
The next day, after dinner, Su Mingyu naturally took over the task of washing the dishes. She cleared the dishes on the table and went to the kitchen. While washing the dishes, Li Jie leaned against the door frame of the kitchen and said to the busy Su Mingyu.
"Mingyu, let's date!"
Gudong!
Su Mingyu's hand was unsteady, and the porcelain bowl she was washing fell into the sink. She was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that Li Jie would suddenly make this request.
After coming back to her senses, joy came from the bottom of her heart, and tears flowed down her cheeks. She didn't want Li Jie to see her crying, so she nodded heavily behind her back.
"good!"
There is no excitement or sweet words between the two people, only quiet companionship and silent dedication. It is a matter of course for them to get together.
Li Jie noticed that Su Mingyu's tone was abnormal, and slowly walked behind Su Mingyu and hugged her gently from behind.
When Li Jie's hot palm touched Su Mingyu's waist, Su Mingyu's whole body felt like an electric shock, and her delicate body trembled. She had never experienced such an intimate contact before, and the strong smell of male hormones hit her face, tightly. Surrounded by her senses,
Boom! Boom!
Su Mingyu's heart was beating wildly, and she felt weak all over. Smelling the familiar smell and the feeling that she had never experienced before, Su Mingyu couldn't help but smile lines appeared at the corners of her mouth, and her heartstrings produced a sweet trembling called happiness.
"Don't worry, I will be with you in everything from now on, and you will no longer be alone."
Gentle whispers and hot breath came from her ears, and Su Mingyu was not used to the tickling feeling.
This low chant was like a stream of clear spring slowly pouring into Su Mingyu's heart, nourishing Su Mingyu's long-dry heart. Su Mingyu's heart instantly surged with infinite sweetness, and she couldn't help but think that if time could be frozen at this moment forever, then it would be How nice.
