Cao Yongluo heard the other party's subtext, and he explained: "Actually, the main reason for going to Lanrun is to enjoy the environment.
Bars are too noisy. Zhou Xin has just recovered from a serious illness. It is not good to go to places that are too noisy.
The Tianwaitian roast duck is a bit greasy.
Furthermore, if I were to choose based on taste, Lan Run is actually pretty average.
Not to mention Tianwaitian, it can't even compare to Guo Lin's home cooking.
If you go there, you will know that Lanrun focuses on an environment. "
Guo Lin's home-cooked food is from a small restaurant on the Fourth Ring Road, and it is also the place where the three of them usually go to have a tooth ceremony.
Cao Yongluo knew the details of the other three roommates very well. As an orphan, Zhou Xin was able to go to Yanda University and ranked first in the class no matter what exam he took, which impressed him very much.
On the way to Lanrun Hotel for dinner this time, Cao Yongluo had a new understanding of Zhou Xin.
Judging from the other party's family environment and growth background, it is obviously impossible for him to have been to such a place.
But Zhou Xin acted very calmly, and Cao Yongluo could even read a kind of disdain from the other person's expression: That's it?
"In fact, inviting everyone to come to Lanrun for dinner is not only to celebrate Zhou Xin's recovery and discharge from the hospital, but also to say something to everyone.
That is, I have applied for the qualification to study as an exchange student at the University of California. I plan to prepare for the exchange program in the first half of the year, and then go there directly next semester. "
Li Li asked: "How long will it take?"
"About five months, which is one semester. I have to be separated from everyone for half a year.
So I specially invite everyone to have a meal together. "
Wang Wei and Li Li became sour instantly.
In this era, due to the real environment, everyone wants to go abroad.
Everyone still doesn’t know what Run is, but they just want to go abroad, and they add a layer of filters to automatically beautify everything abroad.
The main reason is that the living conditions in Western countries, led by America, are too superior. In comparison, you can get a maximum salary even if you wash dishes abroad.
"Brother Cao is awesome.
I heard that this program from the International Exchange Department is quite difficult to apply for.
Brother Cao got it done without saying a word.
I hadn't heard any news before. "
"Actually, it's just luck. It just meets Amerikan's requirements."
Zhou Xin didn't express any opinions and kept eating hard.
Until Cao Yongluo called him: "It is definitely possible for you to study abroad in the future.
Like Zhou Xin, who ranks first in every test, he can definitely apply for a national scholarship program to study abroad. "
Zhou Xin picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth: "Yong Luo, which branch of the University of California did you go to?
Los Angeles or Berkeley? "
Cao Yongluo only found out after applying that the University of California is an education system, equivalent to the concept of universities in the BJ area.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xin also knew.
"Santa Barbara," he added.
"Oh, the Santa Barbara campus is very good. It is surrounded by the sea and the scenery is beautiful.
And the sun is very comfortable, and it seems to be quite strong in the field of microelectronics. "
Zhou Xin has spent five years at Berkeley, so he is naturally no stranger to Santa Barbara, which is also part of the University of California system.
Zhou Xin didn't say this just to give Cao Yongluo face. Santa Barbara was the second-largest school in the University of California system, second only to Berkeley and Los Angeles.
Especially strong in the field of engineering.
Nowadays, as long as returnees come back from overseas, they can be treated differently, which is completely different from more than 20 years later, when netizens debated on major social media about which places are Shuishuo.
Cao Yongluo asked out of curiosity: "Have you also applied for the California exchange program?"
In his opinion, it is only possible to have such an understanding of the University of California system if he also has ideas for this project.
But if you think about it, it's impossible, because the exchange program is very expensive, even for his family, let alone Zhou Xin.
"No, but I also plan to apply to schools in the University of California system, so I have done some research." Zhou Xin explained.
Wang Wei was surprised and said: "Are you planning to go out too?
We still have more than two years until our senior year. Have we started preparing so early? "
Li Li, who has never spoken much, said: "If you want to go to California, no matter how early you prepare, it's never too early.
Especially for Zhou Xin, he can only choose programs with scholarships, which is difficult to apply for.
The competitors we have to face are not only competitors from China, but also competitors from around the world.
It is easier to go out with China Scholarship Council money, but it is difficult to go to California. "
Cao Yongluo added: “Yes.
I went to the Overseas Training Department and asked, since 1996, very few people have applied for national scholarships to the University of California system. "
The China Scholarship Council was established in 1996. In the first few years of its establishment, it funded an average of 3,000 people per year to go abroad at public expense.
Among them, the proportion of various types of overseas students is about 20% for senior visiting scholars, 67% for visiting scholars/researchers, and 13% for graduate students and others.
Cao Yongluo continued: "If you really want to go out, I suggest you consider going to Germany.
A key laboratory project jointly funded by CSC and DAAD. This project is mainly aimed at engineering disciplines and is a new project with relatively low application difficulty.
And you are now in your sophomore year, so it is completely time to start learning German.
Based on your previous scores, as long as you can pass the language test, the probability of passing this project is over 90%. "
Because during the process of applying to the University of California system, Cao Yongluo went out of his way to collect information, including asking someone from his family to ask specifically.
If he had not applied for an exchange student at Santa Barbara, he would have considered learning German and then applied for the CSC-DAAD jointly funded key laboratory project.
CSC is the abbreviation of the China Scholarship Council, and DAAD is the abbreviation of the German Academic Exchange Service.
Now that he has applied for a better place and has no plans to go to Germany in the future, Cao Yongluo shared this news.
Zhou Xin shook his head and said: "No, I have already contacted the tutor and will wait for the interview. If everything goes well after passing the interview, I will directly transfer to the university there."
Zhou Xin's words directly made the three people present doubt their lives.
Cao Yongluo was a little better. He always felt that Zhou Xin was very human.
Wang Wei and Li Li were jealous and looked down on Zhou Xin, who only knew how to study. They always believed that the other's ability to take the first place in exams was due to hard work rather than talent.
In fact, there are many people who work hard at Yanda.
Based on their understanding of Zhou Xin, the other party was definitely sure of the matter, so he told them.
Wang Wei and Li Li were confused after one meal. There were four people in the dormitory, and both of them had to leave.
