Chapter 169: An Unusual International Student
The time for enrollment is approaching again, and before I know it, Xu Ziming has spent a semester studying at Duke University.
However, compared with the slightly confused when he first came, Xu Ziming has gradually found his goal in the business school.
Reading a book in the library, carrying a Walkman, and listening to music is not a good feeling, on the contrary, listening to music can relieve the heart.
However, this tranquility did not last as long as he expected, because his supervisor successfully published his revised paper in the Duke Law & Technology Review, a prestigious academic journal at Duke University.
As soon as this news came out, many students who were in the same business school as Xu Ziming were extremely envious, because the "Duke Law and Technology Review" published most of the articles of Duke University tutors and very authoritative people, and Duke University also had great students who had published on it, but Chinese students had never had it.
Xu Ziming was also shot while lying down, and became the object of many people's discussion for a while.
And the dean of Xu Ziming's business school actually commented on Xu Ziming's paper, which hit the nail on the head, and it was a realistic and analytical article.
The dean's attention also attracted the attention of President Duke for a while.
This also doesn't look at how many business books Xu Ziming has read in the United States, and has wonderful experiences that others don't have.
Xu Ziming selected entertainment books, business books, and science and technology books in the library, about five or six books, and when he was going to the reading room, some American girls discussed with each other from time to time.
Several girls in school uniforms gathered together, pointing fingers at Xu Ziming who was passing by, and their faces were extremely excited.
"That's Xu Ziming. He was the one whose paper was published in our school journal. ”
"He is so handsome, the most handsome Asian student I have ever seen in school. ”
"It's very imposing, if the eyes can kill a person, then he has killed me many times!"
Hearing the girl's tone all the way, Xu Ziming has become accustomed to it, when he was in Hong Kong, this kind of scene often happened, and he turned a blind eye more in his eyes.
Maybe Xu Ziming will feel a little indifferent, but more he will choose to smile at every girl on the side of the road.
Reading a book in the reading room, Xu Ziming's vision jumped directly from the business district to the part of scientific and technological information.
In the 80s, the concept of the Internet was not there, but it was like a computer or something, but it had become popular.
It's just that the computers of this era are neither popular nor convenient compared to the computers of later generations.
In the business book, Xu Ziming disagrees with the evaluation and prediction that the future economy will still be the secondary industry and the industrial era, but he thinks that in the Internet era, and even the Microsoft companies he saw on the New York Stock Exchange, their market value will be infinite, which is an amazing existence.
When reading a book in the reading room, many of his movements are like being stared at, which is very unnatural.
But fortunately, the degree is always just a moment, Xu Ziming's limelight passed, and the semester came to the end of the semester, but Xu Ziming did not read and review as usual, he was even more
In many places, he subscribes to American newspapers every day to learn about some things in the United States, and he also spends time reading newspapers to learn about the development of Hong Kong, and to pay attention to how much Hong Kong has changed in the United States in the past year.
It's just that Hong Kong enjoys popularity in the United States, except for the election of Miss Hong Kong, it will be valued by some newspapers and periodicals in the United States, and other bits and pieces like the entertainment industry are pitiful.
He also threw away the newspaper in his hand a little bored, and when he was about to enter the room to rest, the bell outside the door jingled.
He opened the door directly, he thought it was Marisa, but when he looked at it, it was a stranger dressed as a mailman.
I saw the mailman put down the things in his hand, took out a ticket from the bag, and held a pen in his hand, he looked at Xu Ziming with two eyes, and asked politely: "Is it Mr. Xu Ziming?"
Xu Ziming was a little dazed, not knowing what the mailman was, just nodded in response.
The mailman added something to the ticket, then stretched out the ticket slip and said to Xu Ziming: "This is something sent from Hong Kong, please sign for it." ”
What else can Xu Ziming say, it was sent from Hong Kong, think about it, there are only a few people who know their address in the United States, his uncle, as well as Zhou Yanfa and Wang Jin.
With a lot of doubts, he moved a box of things into the house, and he couldn't wait to see some magical things inside.
One of the boxes contained a number of videotapes, as well as a number of records, the most striking of which was the note written in red ink that read, "Good friends of Hong Kong."
Xu Ziming was about to be amused, who gave the things and engaged in these famous halls.
Xu Ziming put a bunch of boards on the table, and at the same time ran to Marisa's apartment to borrow the video tape projection equipment, at this time VCD had not yet come out, let alone the player.
After working for a few hours to set up some things, Xu Ziming also began to watch the contents of these tapes seriously.
This feeling is the same as watching a movie in the cinema, it is Zhou Yanfa and Wang Jin who come into the camera, seeing the familiar faces of the two, Xu Ziming is deeply pleased, and the two of them said blessings to the camera.
Zhou Yunfa said to the camera: "Ziming, I haven't married Ah Lian in Hong Kong yet, we want to wait for one day when you get married, and then get married." I'll tell you good news, Jiahui's illness has been cured, but she has returned to his Ah Dou's house. ......”
Zhou Yanfa in the camera mentioned Guan Zhilin's matter, and Xu Ziming suddenly found that he had forgotten Guan Zhilin in the past year in Hong Kong.
Turning Zhou Yanfa's vision from Wang Jin's perspective again, Wang Jin said with a hippie smile: "Ah Ming, I asked the record company to release your "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que", and it sold very well. ”
Xu Ziming was told by Wang Jin, immediately put down the video to watch, and began to flip up the records stacked on the table, "Chen Baiqiang's "I Like You", Rong Zai's "The Wind Continues to Blow", as well as Amei's "Red Doubts", and Deng Lijun's "Walking on the Road of Life"......
When Xu Ziming's eyes moved back to the video being screened, the video arrived at the lens of Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung, and Xu Ziming found that Anita Mui's long hair when she debuted had turned into short hair, and her image was relatively large
, Anita Mui's voice is not as immature as before.
There are still many people in the back, and Xu Ziming has watched it from beginning to end.
Although these videos gave Xu Ziming a lot of shock, they also inspired him to return to Hong Kong more and more, but when he remembered the reason why he came to the United States, Xu Ziming just felt funny.
As a friend, Xu Ziming is also accustomed to returning gifts, so he packed and sent his life at Duke University, as well as the photos he took with Masahiko Kondo, and even his experience studying at the New York Stock Exchange.
In the same way, he often keeps in touch with his second uncle, and whenever he is about to take a vacation, he will spend time going to places in the United States where there are international calls, and he will talk to his second uncle about Taoism.
As for the contact with other people, because of the reason of not letting go of the toilet, he couldn't call in time, so Xu Ziming interrupted this idea later.
Marissa brought his newly learned Chinese chicken stew from her kitchen, and when she first went out, she met Xu Ziming, who had just gone out to deliver something, back.
She blew cold air on the chicken soup and said with a sweet smile: "Ming, your Chinese chicken soup, how does it taste." ”
Xu Ziming happily took the chicken soup from his mentor Marisa, the color was particularly beautiful, golden and brilliant, Xu Ziming scooped a mouthful of soup into his mouth, and asked with a smile: "Mentor, do you have any ideas for this holiday, how about going out to play?"
The beginning of Xu Ziming's true friendship with this Marisa should be regarded as the beginning of continuing to complete his studies this time, for this tutor, although there are servants in the house, almost all of the meals she prepared for Xu Ziming.
Going to school and going home, the two are inseparable.
If it weren't for the age distinction between the two, a group of Duke University students would definitely think that the two were husband and wife, which would be particularly embarrassing.
Marisa was a little indifferent, quite a little old-fashioned, directly threw Xu Ziming aside to drink the soup, very skillfully went to Xu Ziming's desk to pick up a book, leaned on the desk and opened a few pages, saw the many and miscellaneous annotations on the book, secretly glanced at Xu Ziming who was drinking soup, pursed his lips and snickered.
Then she deliberately made the sound of the book closed loud, which successfully attracted Xu Ziming's attraction, and she said with satisfaction: "Okay, this holiday, we are mainly based on social activities, and the journey is a way to harvest, and it can also cultivate cāo." ”
In Xu Ziming's opinion, every sentence of Marisa is very reasonable, or rather, this mentor always likes the way of speaking.
Got his tutor's reply that he agreed to play with Xu Ziming during the holiday, Xu Ziming smiled and couldn't melt his mouth, it was not time for Xu Ziming to return to Hong Kong, his studies had been made up for a year, and he had barely made up for the previous wasted years, and his academic success was also a year later.
Staying with someone like Marisa, who is interested in academics and her cool and specialized research, Xu Ziming is at a loss whether he will return to Hong Kong after finishing his studies, or whether he will get a good degree and return to China like this tutor.
However, this fleeting thought was quickly abandoned by him, he was a reborn man, who had already experienced the struggle for these degrees in his previous life, and what he lacked was the understanding and depth of the market situation.
PS: Maybe these chapters will be a little boring, but readers stick with it.
