Chapter 472: Perfect Interview
The major leagues have come to an end, and the results of this season's selections have been released.
Liu Yun became an award harvester. Little Coke is not yet a full moon, and he, who is a father, has to run around London and Switzerland to receive awards.
Premier League Player of the Season, Premier League Golden Boot, Champions League Golden Boot, Champions League Most Valuable Playerγγγγγ Liu Yun won the award and got a soft hand. He didn't spend much time with the newborn little Coke at all.
Fortunately, Liu Xiaoyan helped Isabella take care of Little Coke.
On this day, Liu Yun had just returned home with the Champions League Most Valuable Player trophy, and saw Liu Xiaoyan sitting in the living room with a serious face. There is a computer in front of you.
Isabella hugged Xiao Coke and stayed by Liu Xiaoyan's side.
Liu Yun said: "Why is the atmosphere not right, why is it so serious? β
Isabella said: "It's Friday and Imperial College London will send you an email at 2pm informing you of the results of the preliminary admissions. β
Liu Yun looked at his watch, and it was already 1:55 minutes.
Liu Xiaoyan didn't say a word, just stared at the computer screen. Liu Yun came to her eldest daughter and hugged her shoulders: "Don't be nervous, Yanyan." Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven. β
2οΌ00οΌ "Beep~" email prompt sounded.
Liu Xiaoyan said to Liu Yun: "Dad." I didn't dare to look at it. You can help me click on the email and read it to me. β
"Okay." Liu Yun clicked on the email and read:
"Dear Liu, Imperial College London is pleased to inform you that the College has passed your preliminary examination qualifications in view of your excellent results in your A-Level examinations and your performance at the comprehensive secondary level. Please arrive at Imperial College this weekend at 8am for your interviewγγγγγγγγ β
"Hooray!" Liu Xiaoyan jumped up, first kissed her father fiercely, and then kissed Isabella and her sister Little Coke. In the end, she hugged Little Coke: "Little Coke, Little Coke, my sister is going to Imperial College for an interview!" β
Two days before the interview, Liu Yun had no activities to participate in and could stay at home with his two daughters.
Liu Xiaoyan has been living like a year in the past two days, and she is so nervous.
She had to be nervous! Imperial College London is known as the "G5 Super Elite University" in the UK, along with Cambridge, Oxford, London School of Political Science, and the University of London! Its science and engineering research level is recognized as one of the top three in the world, and it is known as the twin stars of the world's science and engineering universities along with MIT! Its aviation and manufacturing expertise is recognized as the world's first!
According to the data published on the official website of the Faculty. As many as 130,000 UK secondary school students applied to the school this year. Only 3,000 people were able to pass the preliminary examination. These 3,000 people will also undergo a rigorous interview screening. Eventually, 1,500 new students will be able to attend this suburban London post-secondary institution.
On weekend mornings, Liu Xiaoyan drove the pink Ferrari to Imperial College London with Liu Yun.
This red Ferrari attracted the attention of many students.
In the school parking lot, a Rover is parked next to the red Ferrari.
Liu Xiaoyan got out of the car with her father, and the driver of the Rover got out of the car at the same time.
The driver was a balding old Englishman. He glanced at the red Ferrari and then at the two Chinese faces opposite. I was very unhappy.
This unremarkable balding old man is none other than the Chief Admissions Officer of Imperial College, Sir Farke Irewan!
Lord Law, like old George, belonged to the kind of old-fashioned English gentleman. He is very tired of those Chinese nouveau riche driving luxury cars, wearing famous brands, and shopping everywhere in London.
There is a block near Hertford, the aristocratic quarter of London, where Lord Fa lives. An entire block is inhabited by the lovers of wealthy Chinese people. From a distance, the streets are lined with luxury cars like the pink Ferrari in front of you.
Lord Fa even suspected that the Chinese girl in front of him should not be the lover of this middle-aged man in his 40s, right? In Hertford, he can often see Chinese girls in their 20s, carrying large and small luxury shopping bags in their left hands, and the hands of old men in their fifties and sixties in their right hands, taking a "Darling" one by one.
It was, he suddenly felt, that this girl γγγγγ It's familiar. Where have you seen it? I can't remember.
Lord Fa came out of the parking lot and came to the classroom of the aviation academy where the interview was being conducted.
Lord Fa was born into a family of famous British aerospace manufacturing engineers. His father was involved in the design of the Spitfire, the famous "Eagle over London" during World War II.
Inheriting his father's legacy, he was knighted by the Queen at the age of 60 for his outstanding achievements.
After retiring from Hawker Aircraft in the UK, he came to Imperial College London as a professor. He was a man of recognized noble character. Because of this, Imperial College London has always appointed him as an interviewer during the admissions process.
At the same time, he, as an interviewer, will personally master the interview of the aerospace manufacturing major.
The secretary said to Lord Fa: "The 26 interview and examination rooms have been prepared. The interviewers are also in place. β
Lord Fa nodded: "Well, it's good, let's start." β
It took him seven hours to interview 300 students who applied to the college's aeronautical manufacturing program.
At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, a little girl from China walked into the interview classroom - it was Liu Xiaoyan, the little princess of Manchester United.
Lord Fa glanced at Liu Xiaoyan - wasn't it the girl I saw in the parking lot in the morning? Strange, I always feel that this girl is very familiar, as if she has seen it somewhere.
Lord Fa didn't look at his resume, but asked bluntly: "You applied to study at Imperial College, you should like this school very much, right?" What is Imperial College's motto? β
Liu Xiaoyan blurted out: "Science is the pillar of the empire. However, I think there should be a change in the school motto. β
"Should the school motto be revised? How to change? "Lord Fa is interested. He has interviewed thousands of students who aspire to enter Imperial College. No student has yet had the audacity to say such sensational remarks as revising the school motto.
"I think it should be changed to that science is the backbone of dreams." Liu Xiaoyan said.
Lord Fa held his chin and stared at the Chinese girl in front of him: "Dream? Why? β
Liu Xiaoyan replied: "In the Stone Age, human beings dreamed of flying into the sky. In my motherland, three thousand years ago, there was a legend of a beautiful fairy flying to the moon. Six hundred years ago, a Chinese man named Wanhu tied twenty black powder rockets to a chair and ignited themγγγγγ In the end, he gave his life for the dream of flying into the sky. β
Lord Fa reminded Liu Xiaoyan: "We are here for an interview with aviation manufacturing professionals. Not an interview for a Cambridge History major! β
Liu Xiaoyan nodded: "Since Watt invented the steam engine, mankind ushered in the industrial revolution. 115 years ago, the Wright brothers invented the airplane and ended up flying 36.5 seconds in 12 seconds. From the dream of flying in the sky to the success of the Watt brothers' first flight, it took thousands of years for mankind to fly. From a short flight of 36.5 seconds to today, it took only 100 years for humans to send a large number of astronauts into space. The development of science and technology has made human dreams come true. Doesn't this mean that technology is the backbone of dreams? β
Liu Xiaoyan has completely relaxed at the moment. She continued: "I applied to join Imperial College Aeronautics to achieve my dream of building bigger, faster planes for humanity! β
Lord Fa said to Liu Xiaoyan: "Since you have been mentioning history. I have to ask you, people say that the development of technology has led to human beings killing each other. Maybe you'll join Imperial College, maybe after graduation you'll build not a civil airliner, but a fighter jet. Maybe one day, the fighter you build will get involved in war, killingγγγγγγ If so, can you still say that building an airplane is your dream? β
Liu Xiaoyan replied shrewdly: "It's not weapons that kill people, but people!" Take the Spitfire fighter of World War II, for example. Later generations called the 'Eagle over London' defended justice and defended Britain. I can't choose whether the planes I build will get involved in the war or not. I can choose to design a fighter to defend justice for the side of justice! β
Liu Xiaoyan mentioned the Spitfire fighter, which made Lord Fa proud. The Spitfire is the eternal glory of the Farker family!
In fact, Lord Fa fell for Liu Xiaoyan's "high hat plan". Liu Xiaoyan did her homework in advance and checked all the information about the interviewer in the chicken feeding encyclopedia.
After asking the question, Lord Fa opened Liu Xiaoyan's personal information.
Fill in the family background column, father: Liu Yun, a professional player. Captain of Manchester Football Club. Mother: Elizabeth. Liu is a philanthropist and director of the Coventry Orphanage.
Lord Fa suddenly realized, and said in his heart: I said it is familiar! It turned out that the Chinese girl in front of her was the "little princess of Manchester United".
Another identity of Lord Fa is a diehard of the Red Devils Manchester United!
Lord Fa nodded to Liu Xiaoyan: "Okay, the interview is over." You can go back and wait for the notification. β
When Liu Xiaoyan was about to leave the classroom, Lord Fa suddenly stopped Liu Xiaoyan: "Liu, "The Sun" said that Pogba is your student in checkers? Can you go back and tell your students: don't keep shooting at the edge of the penalty area! It's ridiculous that the teacher learns to build an airplane and the students jerk off on the pitch all day long, isn't it? β
