Go ahead and start your campus life.

Drunk like this, Jennifer can't go back to the dormitory to sleep, because she has a nasty roommate, she rented a house outside this semester, Zhang Xiaokai doesn't know where the house is.

In desperation, I had to take her to a hotel.

Don't get me wrong, nothing happened, Zhang Xiaokai is still young, and he doesn't even know about those men and women, not to mention a woman who vomits while holding the toilet, it's too ruinous to ruin her image.

The caretaker fell asleep on the sofa late at night, he used to be a good student, since he met Jennifer, he went to the party to join in the fun, he didn't go home at night for the first time when he was so big, he had nothing to do all night, and the next day he met for breakfast and went to school separately.

The new semester has officially begun, and the new narrative book called "Ice and Snow Forest" has officially landed in major bookstores.

After listening to Mr. Stewart talk about this incident, Zhang Xiaokai went to several bookstores in succession and did not see it, and only found a few sellers in the Amazon online mall, and the sales volume was zero.

Of course, I have to support it, I swiped my card and bought five copies out of my pocket, the mailing address was written in the school, and there was no shadow of selling the copyright to make a movie, and it was probably a little difficult to make money from this book.

I was almost marginalized in the class, and I didn't have many really good friends, so I continued to read books and brush up on questions like I used to go to school, and from time to time I even wrote something on my own, trying to confirm whether I was really interested in the industry.

The answer is yes.

After reading a novel for a summer vacation, I learned something, based on his own pasture, Zhang Xiaokai began to write the story of herding cattle and sheep, the main line is a theft case, a big thief did cowboy incognito, and the style is mainly plain.

Two weeks after the start of the semester, the book had reached 130,000 words, and he took time to write about eight hours a day, and it was only when Mr. Stewart asked him that he was willing to go to Duke University.

The next thing is easy to do, and his tutor still counts for face, asking Zhang Xiaokai to write a brief introduction and send it to the Duke University admissions office by email.

I took the time to take the SAT and got a high score, and as the admissions season was approaching, I didn't pin all my hopes on Duke University, which had no news, and began to understand the admissions situation of other schools.

The course continues, until I am admitted to a certain university, my performance needs to be better, but I don't need to be as serious as before, most of it is the knowledge I have mastered, and I will fall asleep after listening to it.

Look at the sales of the book "Ice and Snow Forest" in the Amazon store every day, even if only one or two more copies are sold, Zhang Xiaokai will be very happy, the promotion is not enough, unless the poster is placed in the bookstore, otherwise almost no one knows about it, and the sales will naturally not go up.

The first batch of 1,000 copies was sold out from early March to early May, and after Mr. Stewart divided a small part, the more than 3,000 US dollars of remuneration was not given to Zhang Xiaokai, but all went into his father's account.

A few days after sending the application to other prestigious schools, I received an email on May 10, which showed that I had been admitted to the Department of Literature at Duke University in advance.

The grades are quite good, and there is a young age, published books as a plus, in fact, in the next few days, Yale and Harvard also threw an olive branch to Zhang Xiaokai, his profile is quite eye-catching, and he can barely be classified into the category of little geniuses, and the advantage is very obvious.

There are many schools that are willing to admit themselves, which is also a tangled thing.

His father changed his mind and preferred to let his son choose Harvard, while Mr. Stewart had an indifferent attitude, not expecting that so many good schools would be willing to admit Zhang Xiaokai, and the practice of helping to apply to college became the icing on the scene, and he didn't feel that he had to go to Duke University.

There is not much difference in the quality of teaching between Duke University and Yale and Harvard, but there is a significant difference in global fame.

The school did not keep it secret, and publicized the news that he was favored by many schools, and in an instant Zhang Xiaokai became famous again, and he could be pointed at when he walked on the road.

Some twelfth graders can only go to community colleges, but he, a little guy, can get so many "admission passes", almost everyone persuaded him to choose Harvard, and the second goal is Yale, but Zhang Xiaokai still hasn't made a decision, and he doesn't even know if he really wants to become a writer in the future.

Being young, active, and smart has little to do with experience, and it is still early to report, so you can consider it, so you can graduate from this private high school early this year.

……

Called to the office by the principal.

Zhang Xiaokai sat there, and the old principal took the initiative to help bring Coke.

After chatting a few words, the other party cut to the topic he really wanted to talk about and said, "Last year, no students from our middle school were admitted to Harvard, and the year before last, and you are the only student admitted to Harvard this year." I heard from Mr. Sam that you actually want to give it up and choose Duke instead?

You have to think about this, although Duke University is also very good, very good, but after all, it is not Harvard and Yale, some law firms only accept Harvard alumni, Yale graduates are easier to find jobs in Washington, and I have never heard of any company that only admits Duke graduates. ”

"I haven't made up my mind yet, Mr. Headmaster. ”

"Then I can help you make a decision, just choose Harvard, if you can give me the promise to choose Harvard, the board of directors will reward you with $30,000 at the graduation ceremony, and you will only get $5,000 for choosing Duke University. I've talked to people in Harvard's admissions department, and they're willing to offer you a full scholarship, so what's not to be satisfied with?"

The principal is not completely thinking about Zhang Xiaokai, he is also thinking about the interests of the school, no matter how good Duke University is, some parents only worship Harvard, Yale these schools, and there have been no Harvard admitted students for two years, which has affected the enrollment of this private middle school.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaokai didn't speak, he continued to be moved and said: "Harvard is relatively close to Boston and New York, so it is more convenient to live and travel, which will help you find a job in the future. ”

Life, travel, and even work, Zhang Xiaokai doesn't care, his personality tends to get by, and he is very Buddhist.

Sensing that the president wanted to go to Harvard very much, he smiled and asked, "I can choose Harvard, but can the number of scholarships be increased? For example, 50,000 dollars?"

The old principal was slightly stunned, he didn't expect it to be a little guy who loves money, so it's easy to do.

Scholarship or something, recruit a few more students and come back, and immediately nodded and replied to him: "I can discuss it with the school board, but it shouldn't be much of a problem, please ask your father to come when I have time, I want to talk to him about the specific enrollment details, there may be an interview waiting for you, OK?"

"Of course, he's always ready to come over......"
