Chapter 32: Genius
The full name of Stanford University is Leland Stanford University Jr. Located in Stanford, California, USA. It was founded more than 100 years ago by California Senator Henry Stanford and his wife in memory of their recently deceased youngest son, Leland Stanford, Jr.
Shen Chi came to Stanford to continue his studies in mathematics. From then on, I lived a happy and wonderful university life, which was impossible!
It cannot be denied that Shen Chi himself is full of advantages. Good figure, good appearance, good head, good personality, anywhere. But this is the domestic standard.
Foreigners are generally tall, love to exercise, and have a good figure! Shen Chi's height of 1.86 meters stands out in China, and it is average here.
As for the appearance, the handsome blonde guy has a deep silhouette, which naturally has an advantage. personality, although I have been with the master for seven years, I have worn away the sharpness and anger of my body, and I have become gentle and amiable, but that is only a superficial phenomenon, and I am still cold and alienated in my bones. This is not pleasing in the eyes of enthusiastic foreigners.
As for IQ, Shen Chi is proud of himself! But here it was a fatal blow. It's not that foreigners are smarter than him. For the three-hour exam, Shen Chi did not hesitate, and he could answer it in half an hour, ensuring that all of them were correct. And when the time comes, there are still a few classmates who scratch their ears and cheeks.
But you can't call them stupid. The advantage of the world's top schools is not in the grades.
Weininger once said, "A genius is the kind of person whose endowments are more complex, richer, and more diverse." The more a person's personality accommodates, the closer he is to a genius for a period of time, and he likes to express philosophical and scientific insights in his works; At other times, it was art that had the strongest influence on him. For a period of time, his interest was entirely directed towards the development of history and civilization, and later, he may have turned to the study of nature. ”
If this is really the case for geniuses, then unfortunately, Shen Chi is not a genius. He was not interested in literature and art at all, and felt that the people who wrote poetry were too hypocritical, and they could not understand abstract paintings and elegant music. He is only interested in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and finds it simple and does not require a lot of brains.
But even more unfortunate is that Stanford is full of such genius. They may not be outstanding in everything, but they can speak the nail on top in every area.
For example, his classmates, who obviously studied mathematics, organized a group to participate in the National History Debate Tournament, and even made it all the way to the finals, finishing third. The top two are both history majors at prestigious universities.
Shen Chi is beyond his reach, he doesn't even understand Chinese history, so he will memorize a representative of the dynasty and know a few historical celebrities and important events.
As for the people who can deduce the plasma expressions of quark gluons, pick up the microphone and be the lead singer of a band, publish papers in core journals, and hold art exhibitions at school, there are many people!
Shen Chi admitted to himself that he was not a genius, and he could not become such a genius. But the pride in his bones made him unwilling to be left behind. So I can only work hard in the field I am good at and kill others in seconds.
He now gets up at five o'clock, goes to bed at twelve o'clock, and spends one hour of practice every morning and evening, and spends all the rest of his studies on the ground. Meetings are rarely attended unless necessary.
It's ten times harder than high school!
At six o'clock in the morning, Shen Chi ran on the path of the campus.
It was late autumn, the trees on both sides of the path had fallen leaves, dark yellow and light yellow, the holly in the distance was green and verdant, the breeze was slow, and the sky was high and the clouds were light. Really scenic and perfect for a date.
Shen Chi stopped and walked slowly, and in front of him was the dormitory area, from where he walked for five minutes. A girl walked over quickly, with fair skin, long flowing hair, and black hair. Look at the silhouette again, Asian. Temperament, Chinese.
The girl was chasing a boy with blonde hair and green eyes, tall and handsome. He also holds a bouquet of red roses in his hand.
I saw the boy walk a few steps quickly, took the girl's hand, and said affectionately in Chinese: "Jie, I really like you!" Please give me a chance! "The accent is pretty standard. Almost everyone in a prestigious school in the United States knows several foreign languages, and now it is Chinese fever, so there are many people who know Chinese.
It turns out that I haven't caught up yet.
The girl frowned and shook her hand a few times without shaking it off.
At this time, Shen Chi happened to pass by. The girl's eyes lit up and she grabbed Shen Chi's arm.
"Ah Chi, look at him, he always pesters me!" Without waiting for Shen Chi to speak, she turned her head and said to the blonde man again, "I have a boyfriend!" Please don't harass me again! After saying that, the blonde man let go.
Shen Chi was very helpless, it was really a disaster.
In fact, he could have dodged the girl's hand just now. But the path was narrow, just enough for two people to walk in parallel. So Shen Chi was very close to the girl at that time, and if he dodged it, it would expose his extraordinary speed. Seeing that the girl had no intention of attacking, it was okay.
Shen Chi was still expressionless, looking at the blonde man. For the sake of her compatriots, I will help her, I hope there will be no follow-up.
George also looked at Shen Chi. He heard that there was a new Chinese student at the school, and he was crazy! I think this is the one. He always wanted to meet and see who was the most handsome. But he has too many girlfriends, and he can't go on dates, so he hasn't had time.
Height, comparable; stature, comparable; appearance, comparable; Temperament, different, but not comparable.
George sighed in his heart and looked at Chen Jie who was snuggled next to Shen Chi. It's a pity
How could he not see that Shen Chi was just caught and brought to the top bag, but it is not his style to force women, since the falling flowers are ruthless, then forget it. There is a saying in China, there is no grass at the end of the world!
"Dear Jie, I regret not being able to spend the rest of my life with you. But please accept my blessings! George's tone was sincere, his eyes were sincere, and he bent down slightly and offered flowers. That posture is really indescribably graceful! No wonder so many girls know that he is devoted, but they are still willing to fall for him.
Even Chen Jie herself had a momentary heartbeat. It's as if you've missed the most beautiful love. But when I thought of the name of this hundred people, I immediately came to my senses. This is the one who claims to be looking for a hundred women with devilish figures, angel faces, and Athena's wisdom to be confidantes! I seem to be seventy-eighth?
Chen Jie watched George leave in a chic manner. I think the women who are proud to be George's harem may not be crazy, he is so attractive! didn't attract herself, she just blamed her family's education for being too strict. Since childhood, he has been ordered by the feudal and old-fashioned grandmother, and men and women are not kissed! Before going abroad, it is even more strict, you can't find a foreigner to come back!
Shen Chi struggled lightly, pulled out the arm that was clenched by Chen Jie, and also brought her back to her senses.
Chen Jie, who came back to her senses, blushed a little. She had already heard of this tall and handsome junior, and she had seen him from afar, otherwise she wouldn't have called him Ah Chi just now.
"Sorry for the trouble! He's chasing too hard! I" She wasn't done yet.
"Don't take it as an example." After Shen Chi finished speaking, he didn't even look at Chen Jie, and left in a chic manner!
Leaving Chen Jie standing in place is unbelievable! She's the one who's been favored by George's above-eyed man! This shows that she has the body of a devil and the face of an angel! How can any man be dismissive of her!
It must be a little boy who is thin-skinned, embarrassed, and wants to be caught and indulged! Yes, that's it!
Shen Chi forgot the morning episode in a blink of an eye. He has more important things to do now.
Make hay! He came to school at his own expense! There are a lot of tuition and living expenses every year. The little money he saved when he was a child is about to bottom out.
He spent 200 a month in elementary school, 400 in junior high school, 600 in high school, and 1,000 in college. With the Shen family's family background, it is definitely not high! This amount of money used to be barely enough to live in China. How can it be enough now!
Most of the money he spent studying abroad was earned by pouring mountain goods in the spring and autumn of each year after he went to Xizhen. A small part is won by various competitions. Over the past ten years, there have been more than one million in total. I went to study abroad, and now I have 400,000 yuan in my hand, which is equivalent to more than 60,000 US dollars. What is this enough to do in the United States! The next year's living expenses and tuition fees are not enough!
So it has to be profitable! As for the Shen family, he told Shen Nian that he was studying abroad at public expense. Because he didn't want to ask the Shen family for another penny. He is eighteen years old, he is not a child anymore, Shen Nian has no obligation to raise him, and he doesn't want Shen Nian to give him money.
He wanted to draw a line with the Shen family and stay away from them. But if Shen is old, in case there is nothing to rely on, he will also pay alimony. That's all.
But how do you make money?
Thousands of miles apart, at opposite ends of the earth, Shen Chi and Changsheng were worried about the same problem.

About Stanford is full of all-rounders, this is realistic, not that I am exaggerating, the reality is like this.
