Chapter Ninety-Three: Summer School Begins (2)
When many people hear about Harvard Summer School for the first time, they think that this is probably a summer camp, or a "study tour" that has emerged in China in recent years, where they can learn something while traveling. In fact, those who have actually participated in it will know that there is an essential difference between summer school and summer camp and study tour. The latter two are free of academic pressure, and the summer camp is mainly to improve the ability to "play" in a certain aspect according to different themes, such as basketball summer camp, golf summer camp, dance summer camp, etc.; The study tour is basically only a tour without learning, and there is no systematic curriculum in itself, and the so-called "learning" is probably just a long insight in tourism.
The summer school is different, the regular summer school is to get credits, especially the credits of some famous schools' projects can be brought to their future coursework. Harvard's summer school is bound to be able to learn dry goods, and from the beginning of the school year, Gege knew that he was not playing.
The course she enrolled in Social Media Management had a heavy reading task in the course schedule before the start of the semester, and the seven-week intensive course alone had two thick textbooks for the required reading list, adding up to 500 pages, which is not counting the professor's supplementary materials. Fortunately, Gege took the time to read a few days before the class started, otherwise he probably wouldn't have been able to keep up with the teacher's progress as soon as the class started.
In today's online age, social media has long replaced traditional print and other electronic media as the most powerful marketing tool. Gege signed up for this course because she has always been interested in how to use social media to enhance her media image, increase her influence, and so on. She didn't think about becoming an "influencer", but how to use social media to develop a strategy to successfully promote a brand from zero is very challenging. At the end of the course, the professor will use a project that everyone has planned during the course as an assessment, and the assessment will be conducted in small groups.
As a result, Lin and Lu, who both had the surname L, were divided into a group without any suspense...... Why can't teachers all over the world be so creative when they are grouped into groups...... Gege looked at the happy Lu Yichen resentfully, but frankly speaking, it was still very advantageous to be in a group with him. Lu Yichen's Douyin account during his time in China attracted a large number of fans, and he is a veritable small Internet celebrity, although Gege has not studied it carefully, he still knows that his popularity is very high, and the number of fans is amazing. So considering this project, I asked him very seriously what selling point he used to attract fans, Lu Yichen thought about it very seriously and replied, "Rely on your face." ”
This answer made Gege instantly not want to talk to him anymore, and Lu Yichen also emphasized that it was true very seriously. Gege didn't want to deny his answer, but it didn't help much with the social media promotion project they were planning, and they couldn't always write the project plan - strategy: rely on the faces of the team members!? Fortunately, there is still time, and the matter of this project can be thought about later.
Lin Yi's class is not at the same time as Gege, but he is still a good driver, and the pick-up and drop-off are always on time. As for Lu Yichen, he didn't see anything outside, he simply rubbed Lin Yi, anyway, he and Gege's classes were at the same time, and it was not convenient to park near the school, so when he saw Lin Yi, he jumped directly into the car, either directing Lin Yi to send him home, or directly relying on the Lin family on the grounds of schoolwork.
However, course discussion and project planning can be regarded as legitimate reasons, and Lin Yi can only helplessly watch that there is an extra rival and light bulb at home.
After class at noon on Friday, the first week of classes was finally over, and on the weekend, I had to preliminarily determine the direction of the project, draw up an outline or something, such a logical reason Lu Yichen of course followed Gege back to Lin Yi's house with him.
Just when the three of them were thinking about what to eat, the doorbell rang suddenly, and Gege hurriedly got up to open the door, leaving Lin Yi and Lu Yichen fighting over what to eat.
As soon as the door opened, Mia originally had a big smile to give to Lin Yi, but when she saw Gege, she instantly got stuck on her face, and she didn't smile or not, she was all overwhelmed.
Gege naturally smiled at Mia: "Hi, e on in, Liam is in."
Mia took off her hatred and walked in gracefully with steps that were almost model. Lin Yi and Lu Yichen's lunch dispute is heating up, Lin Yi wants to eat Japanese food, Lu Yichen wants to eat Korean barbecue, no one will let anyone, and finally Lu Yichen is very naïve to propose rock-paper-scissors, although Lin Yi was made full of black lines by his proposal, but he actually agreed. So Mia came in and saw that Lin Yi, who she had always felt very cold, and another big boy kept throwing rocks, scissors, and paper at the same time, and then stalemate...... It was really a little shocking that her jaw dropped, the Lin Yi she knew was not like this.
As a result, Lin Yi reacted a little sluggishly the moment he saw Mia, and was seized by Lu Yichen with a scissors lore! Lu Yichen put on a posture of victory, and the Korean barbecue was decided!
Mia was a neighbor, and in the past, as long as they were in the United States, the two families moved around quite frequently, so her arrival Lin Yi was not unexpected, but he didn't have a girlfriend before, but now that he has Gege, he instinctively feels that he shouldn't interact too often with other girls.
So as soon as Lin said hello, he asked Miya if she had anything serious. Of course, Mia can't have anything serious, it's just to walk around, and she was originally surprised to see Lin Yi that day, but she actually found out that he also brought a girlfriend, Miya has been very unhappy these days. I've known Lin Yi for a long time, she has always felt that he is the kind of person who can't take the initiative to fall in love, plus he will definitely come to MIT for further study in the future, and it is her father's department plus the two are neighbors, Miya has always felt that she will definitely be able to get the moon first when the time comes, but she didn't expect to kill a character halfway. Mia actually came this time to talk about the truth and the truth, to see what the situation was, and whether she still had a chance to turn the tide.
“Nothing serious. I told my dad you came back the other day, and both my parents want to invite you to dinner. He wants to talk about your preparation for your application, and maybe he will introduce some professor to you. That's when I told my dad you were back. My parents would like to invite you to my house for dinner, and by the way, they can talk to you about the preparation of your application, and maybe introduce you to a professor. Mia's words were an understatement, but in fact, there were big killer moves everywhere, and for Lin Yi, the later application must be something he valued very much, so this meal would be unavoidable. And Mia's "you" is just said to Lin Yi, but whether it is counted as Gege or not, it is unknown.
“Thanks. I should've visited your parents, my apologies, too busy. Please let Richard know we are available almost everyday. Gigi and I have no evening classes. Anytime will do. (Thanks, I should have said goodbye to your parents first, I'm really sorry I've been too busy lately.) Please let Richard know that we are mostly available, Gege and I don't have classes in the evenings, so it's convenient at any time. Regardless of whether Mia's you contains Gege or not, Lin Yi understands that he will definitely not leave his girlfriend.
Mia's expression flashed a hint of frustration, but she quickly regained her smile, Lu Yichen, an outsider, could see it very clearly, whether Lin Yi knew Miya's thoughts was unknowable, but Lu Yichen understood it at once.
Gege took the initiative to ask Miya if she had lunch, and after receiving a negative answer, the four of them prepared to leave for the Korean barbecue restaurant together. As soon as he got in the car, Lu Yichen's mobile phone rang.
“Sure, we're about to go to New Jang Su. Come join us.” (Of course, we are about to go to New Jang Su, so come on.) )
After hanging up the phone, he said slowly: "My sister and brother-in-law are also here." "This Korean barbecue is frequented and cooked very well.
If Jian Yang knew that Lu Yichen called him that, he would definitely squirt out of the water.
After a while, six people were sitting at the barbecue restaurant. Lu Yichen ordered food for everyone easily, and he almost understood everyone's preferences when he was in his own BBQ that day, so except for Miya, he thought that the dishes he ordered without authorization were ordered by everyone here. I have to say that Lu Yichen's carefulness and thoughtfulness are quite powerful, Gege suddenly thought that Q Dayou had a female classmate who praised him, but he didn't care at the time, but now it seems that he is really very set.
After the dish was served, everyone ate happily. Fei'er wanted to feed Jian Yang one bite at a time, but Jian Yang politely refused, and it was not that he couldn't pick up vegetables, so he felt very ⁄(⁄⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄⁄)⁄
Fei'er didn't follow, seeing that Jian Yang really refused to comply, so he did the opposite, since you didn't let me feed it, then you feed me. So Fei'er sat and waited for Jian Yang to feed her one bite at a time.
Lu Yichen really couldn't stand this kind of large-scale dog abuse scene, so he took the initiative to go to the bar to urge a few plates of meat that hadn't been served for a long time. When he finished urging and turned around, he saw Mia.
Mia raised her chin and said to Lu Yichen: "I can tell you're into her, aren't you?" Let's join hands. I want him and you get her. I'm going to get him, and you can get her. Mia pointed to their table with a thumbs up. The "he" and "she" here are self-evident, and Mia feels that she and Lu Yichen can completely tacitly understand it.
Lu Yichen showed a very official smile: "Sorry, I'm kinda picky about my partner." No matter how much Lu Yichen likes someone, he must be chasing it brightly. He can challenge Lin Yi generously, but he will never play any tricks. So, obviously, he and Mia will not be the same people.
Miya's face was red and white, she didn't expect to be rejected, especially the invisible contempt for her hidden under Lu Yichen's official smile made the arrogant Miya unacceptable.
“Seriously? Without my help, you won't possibly have your chance. You don't want to have a chance without me helping you. Mia's voice revealed a hint of annoyance.
“I don't know if I have my chance. But honestly, even with my help, you definitely don't have yours。 (I don't know if I have a chance myself, but honestly, even if I help you, you're definitely going to be fine.) After speaking, Lu Yichen quickly returned to the table.
Mia was so angry that she exploded on the spot, how could there be such a guy who didn't know what to do? She thought that Lu Yichen would be grateful and gladly accept, but she didn't expect to give her such a solid closed-door soup, so that she couldn't get off the stage at the moment.
As soon as Lu Yichen sat down, he saw Fei'er on the opposite side screaming at Jian Yang and asking him to feed him, and Jian Yang's movements were as skilled as if he had entered a no-man's land from the very beginning of restraint and shyness; And Gege and Lin Yi were also talking and laughing, from time to time they lowered their heads and didn't know what to whisper, biting their ears or something, Lu Yichen shook his head, the single dog is really miserable. Forget it, even if you are a single dog, you have to be a single dog with temperament.
