Chapter 161: An Olive Branch from a Prestigious School
Naturally, the caller was not Susie, let alone Cao Cao, but the admissions office of Beijing University.
Li Yiru dialed back according to the number, and the director of the investment promotion office was very kind, he went straight to the point and asked Li Yiru if he was interested in taking the entrance examination to Beijing University, and Beijing University could lower the admission score line by 60 points for special recruitment.
There are some differences between this life and the previous life, for example, this life is more ruthless in admissions, everything is done according to the enrollment regulations, and these prestigious schools never give any student the green light.
If they miss a student, they will change the admissions system before the next year's admissions, but they can only follow the statute for now.
You can say that this is fair and just, or you can say that the system is rigid and solidified.
Similar to the previous life, the admission score of Beijing University in Beijing is also very high, and it is not that people from other provinces think that they can enter Beijing University after passing the heavy main line. The admission score of Beijing University in Beijing is above 670!
The same is true in the previous life, in the previous life, Tsinghua University and Peking University, the local admission score line was not low, around 670, and the children in Beijing were not just on the list.
However, it is true that there are more special students in the local area.
Li Yiru is very sober about this, 670-60=610! This 610 points is not daring to expect extravagance, it is unrealistic.
However, even if he goes to Fudan, Li Yiru has no regrets, Fudan University is not weaker than Beijing University even in some fields, and because it is located in Shanghai City, the economic center of the country, some college entrance examination champions will even go to Fudan to study.
And Li Yiru feels that if he becomes a member of Fudan University, then it will be a very cool thing for him to revitalize the Chinese studies major of Fudan University, benchmark against Beijing University, and even surpass Beijing University in some fields!
Going to Fudan is more conducive to doing things for yourself.
In Beijing University, it is boring to engage in Fudan, and it is bullying. In Fudan, engage in Beijing University, that is the only way to show the true character of a hero.
Well, it's done!
Li Yiru was there, and the director of the admissions office of Beijing University said: "You really don't have the confidence to break through 90 points in mathematics?"
Li Yiru shook his head: "No!"
"That'...... Then this matter will be difficult to do, we at Beijing University want you very much, but this score can only be lowered by 60 points. ”
Li Yiru said very calmly: "It's okay, I know you like me, but I also know that the system doesn't allow it, so you don't have a psychological burden." It's nothing to lose me, and there are many more students like me, such as ...... Xia Yuqing, do you know, she is a very beautiful girl, who participated in the "Poetry Competition" this year and won the runner-up. ”
"She, we're still fighting. ”
"Fight?"
A wry smile came from the phone: "Li Yiru, I still hope that you will break through the barrier of mathematics! We are waiting for you at Beijing University." ”
Li Yiru silently thought in his heart: Okay, wait for me to represent Fu Dan to challenge you.
In the next few days, Li Yiru stayed in Shanghai City to prepare for the final round of the "Boya Cup".
In the past few days, perhaps because of the influence of the papers circulating on the Internet, Li Yiru also received a call from the Admissions Office of Sichuan University.
It may be that many schools have heard about Li Yiru's miserable math results, and there is a three-school school, and they also sent an olive branch to Li Yiru, and the admission conditions they gave Li Yiru are simple and rude, you are zero points, we also recruit you, and all fees are waived, and a scholarship of 880,000 yuan has been prepared!
Li Yiru didn't have to worry about going to college for a while. That is, don't come to join in the fun with the three colleges, your grades can really pass the second line, really!
People are really wonderful, Li Yiru suddenly felt that in fact, Sichuan University can also be used, and when the time comes, he will revitalize the field of Chinese studies of Sichuan University, and then first crush Fu Dan under his feet, and then wrestle with Beijing University, then he is the soul of Sichuan University, a legendary figure in the history of the university, and an immortal talent who has changed the pattern of Huaguo University!
Hahaha!
"Eh!eh!Yiru!Wake up, wake up!" Zhou Nannan kept pushing Li Yiru's shoulder.
Li Yiru rubbed his sleepy eyes: "What's wrong?"
"You laughed out loud in your dream! That, didn't Shen Zhilei make an appointment with you? If you don't go over, you'll be late. ”
Li Yiru Huo Ran got up, he has an advantage, in principle, he is never late.
After washing, Li Yiru put on sunglasses, walked quickly out of the community, rode a shared bicycle, and ran to Fudan University in a leisurely manner.
This is the advantage of being close to the school, because it is the rush hour after work, and the road is congested.
Li Yiru's shared bicycle seems to be hanging, faster than the four wheels.
Shanghai City, an international metropolis, frankly speaking, for people living in the north, the climate here really has to adapt to it, but after staying for a long time, you will get used to it.
Enjoy the scenery on both sides of the street all the way, which is still verdant and vibrant, and the distant capital is already bare.
Li Yiru himself likes southern cities, because he likes the undefeated greenery in winter. But when he returned indoors, he was particularly eager for the hot floor heating in the capital.
Riding into the campus, today's campus has already returned to its former tranquility, and Li Yiru's appearance did not cause any waves.
Like the grand occasion of the media watching everywhere a few days ago and needing a security team to escort it, it is long gone.
As soon as the heat passed, Li Yiru was "cool". In today's highly developed information exchange, this is all too normal. Today's news hotspots have already been transferred to other celebrities, and it is said that another celebrity has attracted the attention of the whole network because of his private life, so a large number of media have gone to block his door again.
Some students on campus recognized Li Yiru, but they didn't bother him, especially when he was riding.
But there was a female student who was very enthusiastic, and after stopping Li Yiru, she had to give Li Yiru the fried buns she bought, saying that it was bought in the most famous store in Shanghai City, and to be honest, Li Yiru was very moved.
He and Shen Zhilei made an appointment to meet in the school library.
When Li Yiru rushed over, Shen Zhilei had been waiting at the door for a long time.
This is the first time Li Yiru and Shen Zhilei have met, Shen Zhilei is taller than his impression, about 1.68, she is wearing a black suit, stepping on a pair of silver low-heeled high heels, her skin is white and translucent, and in the contrast of clothes, it is more delicate and smooth.
What does not match this white and moist skin is that her complexion is a little cold, and there is no superfluous look, just calm and serious and monotonous.
Shen Zhilei is like a frozen begonia flower, very cold and beautiful.
A prominent name is on the nameplate on her chest: the president of the school's student union, Shen Zhilei.
Li Yiru parked the shared bicycle, raised his wrist and swept the time, unfortunately, they made an appointment to meet here at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and it was already 5:10 at this time.
He, late, broke his own principles again.
Li Yiru hurriedly said: "Senior sister, I'm sorry, I'm late." I know you hate being late, I'm sorry. ”
Shen Zhilei frowned slightly: "How do you know that I hate being late the most?"
"Because I've read your encyclopedia introduction, I also follow your Weibo, and I've watched all your programs, in addition to "Poetry Contest", I also like your other programs. ”
Shen Zhilei was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything.
Li Yiru said again: "Senior sister, but there is a reason why I am late! I specially bought a fried bun on the way to give it to you, this is the fried bun from the most famous store in our Shanghai City." ”
Li Yiru's ability to adapt to changes has always been very good.
Shen Zhilei looked at the label on the bag, she smiled imperceptibly, and said, "Let's go, I'll invite you to dinner." ”
The cafeteria was not far from the library, and two people strolled past it.
Shen Zhilei said very little, so Li Yiru had to open the chatterbox, chatting and chatting along the way, chatting and chatting, Li Yiru was a little worried about whether she was too broken-mouthed, because Shen Zhilei did not give much response.
At this time, the students had just finished class, Li Yiru and Shen Zhilei entered the cafeteria relatively early, and after they found a table to sit down after finishing the dishes, other students flocked in.
When the two were eating, Shen Zhilei went straight to the point: "I am the president of the Chinese Studies Society, do you know anything about the Fudan Chinese Studies Society?"
Li Yiru shook his head: "I don't understand." ”
Shen Zhilei explained: "To put it mildly, it is just a university club, and every university has many clubs. To put it more broadly, our Fudan's Sinology Society has a socially oriented publishing business. ”
"Huh, such a cow?"
"Well, we have the support of Fudan University Press, which publishes books on a regular basis. Some are for school students, and they may have a small circulation, just a few hundred copies. If it is intended for the general public, it will generally distribute about 10,000 copies.
It's small, but it's a business. ”
Li Yiru wondered: "Then, what does this have to do with me?"
"Every year at the end of the "Boya Cup", we will release a "Boya Cup Excellent Works Selection", which is the best-selling work of our company, and about 300,000 copies will be issued every year, in fact, it is basically purchased by high school students. ”
"Senpai, I mean, I want to include my article. ”
"Yes, that's the reason I asked you to do it, and I want to include your article. Besides, I have other purposes, can you show me all your previous essays?"
Li Yiru was stunned: "What do you want?"
"If the level is the same as "The New Examination of the Shallow Discussion of the Yellow Court", then we plan to publish a collection of works for you. Shen Zhilei said her purpose.
Li Yiru hurriedly said: "Senior sister, I'm really embarrassed about this, you better don't think about it." ”
"Don't worry, we will give you the manuscript fee!"
"It's not a question of the manuscript fee!"
"The royalties of the most well-known writers are now up to 20%. But we are a student club, and we have the support of Fudan University Press, so your royalty can also be 20%. In other words, if your book is priced at 30 yuan and you sell 10,000 copies, your pre-tax income is 60,000 yuan.
Of course, you can only make millions of dollars for a live broadcast, and you can't look down on this little money, but publishing a book is a symbol of status and status, and the meaning is different. ”
Li Yiru said embarrassedly: "Senior sister, to tell you the truth, I can't publish a book, and there are not enough articles." ”
"Then select your daily work!"
"Those don't work!" Li Yiru suddenly found that this was not easy to explain!
Because, he has only been in this plane for a few months, and he has only experienced two exams. These two essays are excellent, but the essays in the first and second years of high school, to be honest, can't be put on the table at all.
The cliff-like gap in the level of composition before and after, how this gap was formed, Li Yiru couldn't tell others.
At this time, if Li Yiru explained to someone who didn't know his true situation, no one else would believe it. After all, he is a person who can write master-level papers, but his essays from a few months ago are all scum, and no one will believe this!
Li Yiru had no choice but to say frankly: "Senior sister, let me tell you honestly, I can't bear to look at my works in my freshman and sophomore years of high school, and I am not qualified to waste the paper of the publishing house." ”
Shen Zhilei stopped her chopsticks, and she was slightly silent: "I understand, a publishing house contacted you in advance, we are still one step late." ”
"Huh?" Li Yiru couldn't stop laughing, "Senior sister, you think too highly of me." I just have a paper circulating on the Internet, so is there a publisher who wants to win me over? If a publisher comes to me, I'm a puppy!"
Shen Zhilei didn't say anything, she understands this business era.
In the past, the "New Concept Essay Contest", which was very famous in China, not long after each competition, a number of publishing houses went to the hotel where the contestants lived to compete for outstanding contestants, provided them with contracts, and prepared to publish a collection or a single book for them.
As for publishing personal works, they are often the two or three people with the highest popularity, and they will be contracted and packaged by the publishing house and brought to the market.
As for the content of personal books, they are generally composed of entries and daily exercises, and some are even gun texts, so most of the books are indiscriminate.
The publishing house doesn't care about the quality of the book at all, what they care about is the sales and profits, and many students who participated in the competition were also carried away by the interests.
The "Boya Cup" is a means of independent enrollment of Fudan University, while the "New Concept Essay Competition" is jointly organized by multiple institutions and universities, and the latter is more influential and famous.
However, because the "New Concept Essay Contest" has been declining in recent years and has basically withdrawn from the historical stage, and Li Yiru has participated in the "Boya Cup", then this year's "Boya Cup" is likely to replace the "New Concept Essay Contest" and become a new battlefield for many publishing houses to wrestle.
Li Yiru was robbed, and Shen Zhilei had expected it.
Shen Zhilei suddenly whispered: "If other publishing houses come to talk to you, our small student club will naturally not be able to compete with them, but we have the support of Fudan University Press behind us, and in terms of packaging and promotion, Fudan University Press is actually the real operator."
So you don't have to worry about professionalism, in fact, our club is more about being taken by publishers to learn experience. ”
Li Yiru emphasized again: "Senior sister, first of all, no publishing house has approached me. Secondly, even if you look for me, I can't get anything decent. Wait a minute. ”
Li Yiru called his mother: "Mom, you go through my bookcase, I have bound all the previous Chinese test papers together, you take pictures of each composition and send it to my WeChat!"
Li's mother happened to be at home, and soon, the essays were sent one by one.
Li Yiru kept forwarding it to Shen Zhilei, Shen Zhilei looked at it, her originally calm and cold face was full of incredulity and incomprehension.
She suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Yiru: "How can this be?"
Li Yiru shrugged: "Senior sister must have watched "Journey to the West", right?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
"How did Sun Wukong jump out of the crack in the stone, and how did I burst out of talent from obscurity. ”
Shen Zhilei looked at him quietly, Li Yiru had become a mystery at this time, and she was even more curious about him.
