Dong Qiangqiang sat down as he spoke: "I'm new here and not very familiar with the university. I have a few small questions. Can I take a few minutes of your time?"
The girl glanced at the screen and said softly: "Let's talk outside."
The two came out of the computer room and introduced themselves to each other. Dong Qiangqiang knew that the girl's name was Ding Yan, and she was studying mathematics at the University of Hannover.
"Have you heard about the APS certificate?" After a brief greeting, Dong Qiangqiang went straight to the topic.
Ding Yan thought for a while and shook her head.
Dong Qiangqiang was slightly disappointed and had to change the question: "If you want to work here, are there any student job agencies or other places?"
Ding Yan thought for a while and said softly: "You can go to the city center and have a look. There are several agencies there. The largest one seems to be called Arbeit Zeit. I heard that many students find jobs through there."
Dong Qiangqiang was a little curious and blurted out: "Have you ever looked for a job there?"
Ding Yan's eyes suddenly flashed with pride: "I have a scholarship."
Dong Qiangqiang was stunned, and then said enviously: "You are so awesome! I admire you so much!"
Ding Yan smiled and shook her head: "Is there anything else?"
"Oh, one more little question: If I want to access the Internet here, where should I apply for an account and password?"
"The number after the letters on your student ID card is your account number, and the last four digits of the number are your password. Also bound is your printing account. Didn't you read the student handbook?"
"Oh, I haven't had time to see it yet." Dong Qiangqiang scratched his head in embarrassment.
Ding Yan nodded and walked slowly back to the computer room.
Dong Qiangqiang returned to the bag deposit area, took out Jin Yuan's student ID card, took it to the computer room and tried to log in using the method Ding Yan said. He could actually access the Internet. It seemed that Jin Yuan had not changed his password before.
He used a search engine to search for content related to APS on the Internet. But what surprised him was that the official website of APS was not online yet, so he could not find any contact number.
He continued to search without giving up, and finally found an important piece of information on a study abroad forum: the person who posted the message should also be a German student, and he is currently in Germany. The German university he applied for also needs to submit an APS certificate. However, since APS has not yet been established, he finally contacted the German Embassy in China and the German Academic Exchange Center DAAD in Beijing, and then sent his notarization materials to both places at the same time. He is still waiting for the review results. . The poster also said that the information he found was that APS will be established in July and will officially receive application materials, but the specific date was not found.
Dong Qiangqiang copied the methods from the Internet into his notebook and summed up: It seems that he is not the only one, this certificate has made all the applicants very embarrassed. Moreover, APS has not yet been established, so even if you return to your country, it will be useless. You might as well follow this classmate and mail two university application materials back to your country. If it is established in July as he said, I can mail another document to APS in advance. This is equivalent to double insurance and is safer. I just don’t know how long it will take to review the materials and whether I will have time to take the preparatory exam.
He felt uneasy, sitting alone in front of the computer and struggling. In the end, he felt upset and simply left the library and ran to the city center to find a job agency.
The city center of Hannover is located directly in front of Hannover Railway Station. Generally speaking, the city center of every city will be very prosperous, and Hannover is no exception.
Dong Qiangqiang first wandered around the clothing store and ice cream shop in the city center, and then saw a standing sign with green characters on a white background from a distance, with two large letters on it: A&Z.
Pushing open the dark blue glass door, the first thing that came into view was a large wooden table filled with small cards of various colors, but there was no one at the front desk. Dong Qiangqiang turned his head and saw the wall next to him. He was overjoyed to see a whole wall of job information, and copied the jobs that he thought were suitable.
Just as he was writing furiously, a magnetic baritone voice sounded from behind him: "Hello. Are you looking for a job?"
Dong Qiangqiang quickly turned around and saw a bald bearded man in a white shirt and blue tie standing behind him. The bearded man looked at him with a kind smile.
"Yes, I'm looking for a job."
"Please register first, and then I will introduce you." The bearded man led Dong Qiangqiang to the wooden table and handed him several forms.
After a while, Dong Qiangqiang handed the filled-in form back to Big Beard. Big Beard took the material and looked at it with a smile, then raised his head and said, "Your ID."
Dong Qiangqiang hurriedly handed over his passport, and at the same time he did not forget to explain: "I am a college student."
The bearded man's expression became solemn, as if he was hesitating. He looked at his passport and asked, "Did you bring your student ID card?"
"Student ID card?" Dong Qiangqiang muttered, "No," "That...I'll have it right away."
The bearded man returned the passport to Dong Qiangqiang: "This is a three-month short-distance tourist visa. According to regulations, you cannot work here."
"Then I..."
Before Dong Qiangqiang finished speaking, the bearded man stopped him: "After you register, you can change to a student visa before you can work. Otherwise, our employers here will not consider it." He emphasized again, "This It’s a legal requirement.”
Dong Qiangqiang understood what he meant. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the bearded man for a while. Without saying anything, he opened the door and walked out of the labor agency.
He stood dejectedly next to an advertising pillar more than ten meters away from the front door of the agency, smoking and reading various small advertisements on it. Some work information could be vaguely seen, but the key information was covered by the newly posted advertisement. Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but start tearing it up. At this moment, a figure suddenly passed by the corner of his eye, and then a low lame sound came from German: "Looking for a job?"
Dong Qiangqiang looked down and saw a dark, thin and short Eastern European man looking up at him eagerly.
He wanted to refuse, but there was a mosquito-like voice in his heart saying to himself: Ask without suffering any loss.
"What's the job?" He continued to look at the incomplete advertisement on the advertising pillar.
"I have good jobs here." The Eastern European man grinned, showing his white teeth, and pointed to a bench next to him, indicating that he should go there to take a look.
Dong Qiangqiang nodded, and the Eastern European man walked over happily.
When Dong Qiangqiang approached, he looked around and saw that no one was around. He carefully opened the zipper of his jacket and took out a large pile of blue cards. Dong Qiangqiang took the card and saw that it was filled with recruitment information.
Dong Qiangqiang became more and more strange as he looked at it: "Are you a German company?"
"Of course it's a German company, so they all have good jobs." The Eastern European man said proudly.
"But... I don't have a student visa." Dong Qiangqiang hesitated for a moment, then told the truth.
The Eastern European man leaned close to his ear, fearing that he could not hear clearly, and said word by word: "No, no problem."
Dong Qiangqiang looked at his mysterious smile and couldn't help but lower his head and hesitate.
