Chapter 371: Scholarship

The streets are full of Christmas atmosphere, the paparazzi don't seem to have come to work yet, the waiters and diners in the restaurant are Ah San, and the two are not disturbed in any way, but they still say goodbye after eating.

“Bye。”

In the end, Song Ya took the initiative to get close to her and touched her, and did not feel resisted, if it was before, he might take the opportunity to play a scoundrel again to try to have a show, but the pendulum in his heart has been tilted back to the 'vegetarian' side, after she said that sentence during the meal.

Back at A+ Records in Chicago, he met the next girl who needed to be 'evaluated,' "Aren't you looking for a college scholarship?" You've been studying hard lately, right? In fact, you don't really have to come here to work during the holidays, I rarely stay here, and I have already asked them to help you get the part-time salary and resume. ”

In the office, he said with his arm around Cassity.

"It's a holiday, I'm basically here to play."

Cassiti's usual thoughtfulness, "I love the fast-paced work here, I can learn a lot from them, I know that your star co-singing version of Where Is The Love will be coming out next week, and the Where Is The Love single and album music video will be released at the same time, and the people out there are going crazy busy, and I can help." ”

"My company ......"

"Don't you like me working for you?"

"No, no, how could it be."

The two quickly chatted about the spring semester next month, "Which major are you going to choose?" She asked.

"East Asian languages and civilizations."

Song Ya had already communicated with Michelle's husband, and it was he who helped write the letter of recommendation, and he repeatedly warned that the University of Chicago has an undergraduate liberal education on par with Columbia University, and there are as many as 21 compulsory core courses, mathematics, natural sciences, humanities and social sciences, plus majors and elective courses, and the academic pressure is very high. There is also a large proportion of small class courses, it is difficult to skip classes, if you want to get credits, you must meet the usual grades and test scores, and the implementation of the quarter system of bereavement, ten classes in one week, the eleventh week exam, a quarter is about enough to choose three to five courses.

In short, the degree can't be mixed, Song Ya's high school foundation is not enough at all, 90% of the students who entered the University of Chicago this year are in the top ten in high school, and he has to prepare for the LSAT exam in law school......

Originally, he wanted to choose a music major, but that would inevitably seem too cowardly, twenty-one general education courses still can't be escaped, and professional courses such as music history may not be stable. He chose and chosen, and finally chose East Asian languages and civilizations, Chinese is his strength, choosing this major can reduce some of the coursework burden, and the graduation pressure of unpopular majors is also less, anyway, he does not have to consider employment.

In fact, the first year of undergraduate studies at the University of Chicago is generally the core courses of the humanities, and then because the core courses cover a wide range of courses, and there are naturally many cross-courses between majors, one advantage is that it is easy to accumulate credits for the second major after persisting in learning, and the time point for obtaining a double major diploma (non-double degree) will be earlier than other universities.

"What about you?" Song Ya asked.

"Economics, if you can get in." Cassidi replied, "Business economics." ”

"Wow, I heard the elimination rate is a bit high." Song Ya sighed that the Chicago School of Economics is famous, as a strong major, there are many people to choose from, and the competition pressure is very high.

"I'd like to learn something that can help you." The good girl began to wear down his will, the forest, the tree, the forest......

Song Ya took a deep breath, "Do you still want to go to business school?" ”

"Nonsense, who wouldn't want to go to the University of Chicago Business School, but I guess I won't be able to get in, and it's expensive." She said worriedly, but immediately shook her head and smiled, "It's too early to talk about that." ”

"Well, you don't have to worry about tuition, everything is with me."

Song Ya thought about it, she and the good girl were under a lot of academic pressure, and most of the time they got together on campus, so be careful, you should be able to maintain a low-key relationship and keep it.

At this time, the alarm clock rang, the two put on their clothes, Song Ya waited for her to make up her makeup, and then left the record company together and drove to a high-end restaurant with a Chinese-style hollow wood carving compartment in Chinatown.

Today is not a date, there is something serious.

When I got to the parking lot, I saw her father smoking in a police car from a distance.

"Daddy." Cassidy let go of the hand holding Song Ya and greeted him, "You smoke so many cigarettes again!" ”

Song Ya saw that there was already a circle of cigarette butts on the ground, "Hey, Vic. "Take the initiative to say hello to him.

The bald man like a white boar wore a suit today and tightened it on his body, "I'm a little early." She said softly to her daughter, and she didn't forget to take a moment to glare at Song Ya and Old Mike here.

"Let's go inside."

Song Ya smiled, and then led the way first, and the three of them were led into the reserved compartment by the waiter.

Vic sat down between the two of them, separating them.

"Vic, taste." Song Ya ordered a pot of green tea and asked the waiter to pour it for him.

Vic clipped his hand up, not touching the teacup at all.

"Daddy......" Cassidy stared at him reproachfully.

He couldn't help it, so he took a sip from his teacup and copied his hand back.

Song Ya and Cassidy took the menu and continued the topic of college life while studying.

For about half an hour, old Mike, who was guarding outside, coughed.

"Sorry, I'm late."

The imposing Cook County Attorney Peter Flock arrived, and everyone was finally together, he shook hands with Song Ya and Vic who stood up, and then picked up the menu, and ordered some food at Song Ya's suggestion, and the remaining three also quickly ordered the food they had researched earlier, "Vic, how are you doing?" Your jurisdiction. Peter asked Vic.

"Those N...... African-American gangs are killing and killing, and two died yesterday. ”

The food was served quickly, basically three men chatting while eating, and Song Ya found an opportunity to shift the topic from security to Cassity.

"Cassiti is a fall student, right? The University of Chicago? How's the result? Peter asked casually.

Cassiti reported her grades a little reservedly, basically straight A's in high school, and her ACT test score was also very high.

"Vic, I didn't expect a rough man like you to raise a good daughter."

Peter quipped Vic, "I'll say hello for you, it shouldn't be a problem." ”

Cassiti applied for a scholarship set up by the University of Chicago for the children of police officers and firefighters, and the number of places is limited each year, and then the police recommend the children of police officers who have performed well or died in the line of duty, and the school selects them based on grades, resumes and letters of recommendation. Cassity's grades are fine, and Song Ya helps her resume and letters of recommendation, and this time she will find Peter to get the police done.

Song Ya didn't want to be so troublesome, but Cassidi insisted that she didn't want him to support the tuition, saying that she could apply for a scholarship, but it would be more difficult for Song Ya to help.

"Thank you, Peter." Vic smiled, but it was a rare sight.

At the end of the meal, Cassidy took Vic to say goodbye and left, leaving Peter and Songya at the table.

"Did Eli tell you about the plan, APLUS?" Now was Peter's time to get down to business.

"I've heard that."

Song Ya knew that he was hinting at running for governor, and said with a smile: "I will firmly support you, please rest assured." ”

"Like to Gore?" Peter asked again.

For Gore, Song Yake donated 1 million to endorse the press conference, "I will do it when necessary, you don't need to worry too much, the people of Chicago like you very much." He felt like it was better to spend a little less.

"Then I thank you in advance." Peter would not be dissatisfied, and stood up and took the initiative to shake hands, "Alicia also thanks you, I heard her say that you let her follow up on a big business?" ”

"Yes, she is very capable and has helped me a lot." Song Ya replied.

Peter squeezed out a professional smile and patted the back of Song Ya's hand with his other hand, ending the handshake, and then walked away first.
