Lu Wei slowly sat down with his body half sideways. Yu Jianghai picked up the knife and fork without saying a word and ate the chicken drumsticks with big mouthfuls.
Lu Wei patiently watched him eat for ten minutes, and finally couldn't hold himself back any longer: "If you hadn't..."
Yu Jianghai suddenly put down his knife and fork and wiped his mouth with a napkin: "You and I will join forces to run for the student union president."
Lu Wei couldn't believe his ears: "What did you say?"
"Joining in the campaign is the second option I give you." Yu Jianghai drank a bowl of mushroom soup in one gulp. "Joining forces can bring into play the advantages of both of us: your learning ability and connections plus my work resources. This is an advantage that no single candidate has, and it can also make up for our respective shortcomings.”
"I, I don't need to join forces with others." Lu Wei whispered, "I can also succeed in the election."
"Study group? Is learning accomplished by forming a group? If a person doesn't work hard, can you make him work hard by forming a group? You are deceiving yourself." Yu Jianghai smiled mockingly, "Let's talk about the studies in your hands. Can top students really listen to you like that? If nothing else, I just want to give them a few long-term jobs. Do you think any of them still have time to join your study group? They all have to work honestly. No one here can rely on themselves You have to make a living with your own hands. If you want to study abroad, you have to survive first. If you can’t survive, can you graduate?”
Yu Jianghai's words were like needles piercing Lu Wei's heart. She knew in her heart what the top students' attitude was towards her. Except for one or two people with whom she had a good relationship, she really didn't have much confidence in others. . If Yu Jianghai really used work to win over the other party, she was not sure whether those people would have time to support her.
She sat in silence, thinking about all the intertwined things in her mind, and suddenly became upset.
"If it weren't for our previous friendship, I wouldn't do this at all." Yu Jianghai retreated to advance, "But if you don't accept my suggestion, I will find someone else to join forces. I believe that always There will be sensible people.”
"Why do you insist on running for student union president?" Lu Wei asked doubtfully, "This position is not as profitable as the jobs you have. Why?"
"You don't need to worry about it. Give me a happy message after you figure it out." Yu Jianghai stood up and said, "By the way, I forgot to tell you that the suggested validity period will be until 23:59 tonight. You should think about it carefully. ." After saying that, he picked up the dinner plate and walked out shaking it.
Lu Wei sat in his seat blankly, thinking about Yu Jianghai's words.
Dong Qiangqiang jumped off the city light rail and walked towards the main building of the Department of Mathematics. Just as he was looking around, he suddenly saw a tall, fat boy wearing glasses walking towards him with a cup of coffee in one hand, and he quickly greeted him.
"Hello, I am Dong Qiangqiang."
Duanmu nodded to him and handed him a cup of coffee: "Let's go over there and talk." He walked straight to the other side, and Dong Qiangqiang hurriedly followed him.
The two of them were sitting on a bench. The weather was perfect, and the sun was shining softly on their bodies, making people feel warm.
Duanmu adjusted his glasses: "I have classes soon. Let's make a long story short. What preparatory major are you planning to take?"
"The preparatory examination is divided into majors?" Dong Qiangqiang was surprised, "I thought it was the unified entrance examination."
"Of course not," Duanmu shook his head and said, "Han University is a comprehensive university, so its preparatory courses are divided into many types. For example, those majoring in medicine and biology need to take preparatory courses in medicine, and the mathematics major I majored in has preparatory courses in mathematics, science and engineering. , in addition to economics preparatory courses, language and humanities preparatory courses, etc. Whatever major you want to study in the future, you must first take preparatory courses. If you study casually, you will have problems later."
Dong Qiangqiang scratched his head: "I studied economics in China, and I want to study this major in the future. So I think I should study preparatory courses in economics."
"The entrance examination for the economics preparatory course mainly tests German and mathematics."
"Do you know what are the specific tests for these two subjects?" Dong Qiangqiang took out his notepad and put it on his lap.
"German generally tests grammar, listening, reading and writing. If you have studied it carefully in China, it is not difficult." Duanmu took a sip of coffee.
Dong Qiangqiang, who had studied German for 800 hours intermittently before going abroad, was a little relieved.
"The mathematics test will test algebra and geometry knowledge from domestic high schools, as well as calculus content," Duanmu recalled hard, "I have not taken the economics preparatory test, so I can only tell you what I have taken. You can ask again. Ask other people. But even the mathematics in the mathematics, science and engineering preparatory exams are not very difficult, and they mainly focus on checking basic knowledge."
When he heard that he was going to take the calculus test, Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but smacked his lips: "It's a pity that my math skills have been returned to the teacher. It seems that I still need to make up for it." Suddenly he had an idea: why not ask Duanmu to tutor him? What about math? Just as he was about to tentatively ask Duanmu for his opinion, Duanmu's cell phone suddenly rang.
"Hello. Yes, I am Duanmu Xinghao. Um... um... okay. So is the lecture at two o'clock on Friday afternoon?"
Dong Qiangqiang's ears suddenly stood up. He glanced at Duanmu sensitively and saw him writing something quickly in his notebook.
"Okay, I will attend on time. Thank you." Duanmu closed the phone and glanced at Dong Qiangqiang, "What did you want to ask just now?"
"I have no problem with the exam, but I heard that you still need to submit an AP certificate to take the preparatory exam?"
"Well, I've heard about it too. This should be a new rule that just came out this year. When I took the exam, I was only required to submit the original diploma and the original notarized copy. It seems that the university's requirements are different now. I suggest you check with Han University’s examination center or go directly to the preparatory school’s regulations.”
"I actually have another question," Dong Qiangqiang hesitated, "I studied at a three-year junior college in China. Can someone like me apply for a preparatory course at a German public university?"
Duanmu smiled slightly: "I was also a three-year junior college student before."
Dong Qiangqiang perked up and looked at Duanmu in disbelief: "You? Are you also a specialist?"
"Just because it is a junior college, you have to study preparatory courses. If you are a domestic undergraduate graduate, after you have certified the corresponding courses in a German university, you can skip some or even all of the basic-level courses and directly take advanced-level courses. "
Dong Qiangqiang didn't expect that Duanmu was the same as him. He suddenly gained confidence: since Duanmu can do it, he can definitely do it too. Now it seems that as long as you can get that ap certificate, you can directly apply to take the preparatory exam. If you're lucky, it might be possible to take the university entrance exam directly.
Duanmu glanced at his watch and stood up: "It's almost time, I have to go back to class."
Dong Qiangqiang stood up quickly, stretched out his hand to thank you and said, "Thank you for telling me this. I'm not worried at all now."
Duanmu smiled kindly, and Dong Qiangqiang suddenly asked: "Are you trading stocks in Germany?"
Duanmu's smile suddenly froze, and he asked warily: "How do you know?"
Dong Qiangqiang quickly explained: "I'm sorry I accidentally heard you call just now. It just happened that I also opened a stock account at TRB Bank. My account manager happened to be also named Christina. She happened to also inform me that Friday I went to attend a lecture in the afternoon, so..."
Duanmu suddenly realized: "She is also your account manager? That's a coincidence. But I haven't been trading in stocks for less than a year, and I'm still figuring it out."
"Then let's communicate more in the future," Dong Qiangqiang waved gratefully, "See you at the bank on Friday."
Duanmu waved goodbye, and his plump figure disappeared at the door of the Mathematics Department.
Dong Qiangqiang thought to himself: It seems that he should have a good relationship with Duanmu, not only to supplement mathematics, but also to stock stocks. He has to learn a lot from him.
Zhang Shuo booked a second-class seat for Dong Yiqing on the German IE high-speed train. IE was the fastest train in Germany at the time. It was said that the fastest speed could reach more than 400 kilometers per hour, and the one-way trip from Hannover to Frankfurt took less than three hours.
The departure time is 17:30, and Dong Yiqing arrived at the station at 17:10. She stood quietly on the platform, watching the passengers coming and going, and all she could think about was the interview tomorrow.
She took out part of the translation from her backpack and read it silently while trying to recite it in her head. Suddenly, a smooth German mezzo-soprano voice came from the broadcast above her head: "Dear passengers, due to technical failure, train ie 1170 from Hamburg to Frankfurt will be delayed by about 15 minutes. Right for you. We apologize for the inconvenience caused. Thank you for your understanding." The mezzo-soprano then announced the ie delay announcement again in English.
Dong Yiqing sighed. In the past few years since she came to Germany, she had encountered train delays many times. The most exaggerated train delay she had ever encountered was due to weather conditions. The train was delayed for a full 12 hours, changing from evening departure to morning departure.
She habitually looked up at the electronic sign above her head. Sure enough, the electronic sign started to scroll with the message that the train was delayed.
Since it was still early, Dong Yiqing was not very nervous. She walked to a bench in the middle of the platform and reviewed the material quietly.
Time passed minute by minute, and the hands of the big clock above the platform reached 17:42. Dong Yiqing raised her head and looked in the direction where the train should be coming, only to find that the track was empty.
She was surprised when she heard the well-spoken German mezzo-soprano voice from the radio above her head again: "Dear passengers, due to technical failure, train ie 1170 from Hamburg to Frankfurt will arrive later than the scheduled arrival time. About 30 minutes late. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your understanding."
Although the mezzo-soprano said she was sorry, Dong Yiqing could not hear any apology from her rapid speaking speed.
Another 15 minutes late. Dong Yiqing couldn't help but muttered, stood up from the bench, moved her body and looked into the distance. Although it was still early, she had a bad feeling in her heart.
The result was that she guessed correctly, but also disappointed her. Train ie 1170 arrived in Hannover a full hour later than expected.
Fortunately, this train goes directly to Frankfurt, so there is no need to change trains midway. As soon as Dong Yiqing got in the car, she immediately took out the materials from the box and placed them on the shelf in front of her, then recited them silently.
The train was speeding along. By the time Dong Yiqing arrived at the Frankfurt train station, it was already 21:28 at night.
She bought a burger from Burger King at the train station and looked at the city map posted in the station while eating. After looking at it, I suddenly discovered that Zhang Shuo's company was located on the outer edge of the commercial street in the city center. From the map, it seemed that it was not far from the train station.
Since it's not that far away, it's better to just go and check it out first so that you don't have to go there to look for it tomorrow. Dong Yiqing bought a ticket while thinking about it.
More than twenty minutes later, Dong Yiqing stepped off the bus. She dragged her luggage while paying attention to the road signs on both sides of the road, and shuttled among the tall modern buildings. After a while, she walked to an office building with a bright silver glass curtain wall.
She put the suitcase containing some materials on her suitcase and checked the floor number of Zhang Shuo's company on the printed paper. When she lowered her head to search, a voice suddenly asked timidly beside her: " Hello."
Dong Yiqing raised her head when she heard the sound, and saw a foreign girl who looked about 10 years old standing in front of her. The girl had a long ponytail and her hair was a little sparse. I don't know if it was due to the weather or malnutrition. The girl looked dark and thin. She held a map in one hand and a piece of dirty paper in the other. She pointed at the paper in a low voice and said, "I, I'm lost. I want to go here, but I don't know how."
Dong Yiqing took the paper and saw a few lines of words scrawled on it, which looked like an address.
"Are you going here?" Dong Yiqing asked kindly, pointing to the address.
The girl bit her lip, nodded vigorously, and put the map into her hand.
The sky was very dark, so Dong Yiqing took the map and moved it to a bright place next to it. After searching hard for a few minutes, he found the address where the girl wanted to go in the corner of the map.
The girl took the map and neither thanked Dong Yiqing nor looked relieved. She grinned and suddenly turned around and ran towards the corner of the street.
Dong Yiqing shouted behind her: "Hey..."
The girl's figure quickly disappeared at the end of the road.
Dong Yiqing turned around and was about to take her luggage and walk into the building where Zhang Shuo's company was located to see what was going on, when she suddenly stayed in place as if she had been cast a restraining spell.
The suitcase placed on top of the suitcase suddenly disappeared!
