A new semester has begun, and everyone at Johnson School of Business is full of energy.

Su Xiaoxiao and Saska arrived a quarter of an hour early and chatted warmly with the familiar classmates around them.

Different from the ignorant appearance of freshmen a few months ago, many students have found the direction they want to work hard in this semester.

Johnson will also ask them to submit an application by the end of the semester, identifying their major for the next year, and then sorting out their first and second options. After that, the sophomore class will not be like the freshman year, and everyone will take the professional class in the same class. Everyone can choose the courses that are helpful to them according to their own interests and professional directions.

Because she arrived relatively early, Peter next to Su Xiaoxiao hadn't come yet, so she turned around and chatted with Lisa in the back row and a few foreigners around her. Everyone was still immersed in the Christmas holiday just past, and they were all very excited, and Su Xiaoxiao also generously shared his Christmas.

After chatting for a few minutes, seeing that class was about to start, Daisy suddenly rubbed her hands a little nervously.

"Have you figured out what major you want to choose in the future? I've heard that everyone's classes have to focus on the direction they choose. ”

"Well, it seems so,"

Daniel nodded, "I know a few seniors who are a little older than us, and I heard them say that out of the ten classes in the sophomore year, five of them have to be the first choice of your choice, then three are the second choice classes, and only two are electives. ”

"Well," Lisa also looked a little confused, "I feel like I have a lot of classes that interest me, and I don't know if it's right for me." Anyway, after this semester, I'm definitely not going to touch it and have anything to do with data. Sue, what about you? ”

Su Xiaoxiao especially agrees with Lisa's statement, when I was in class last semester, I obviously felt that some simple classes were not simple, and things that seemed a little difficult could be learned if you studied them seriously.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but I'm still leaning towards consulting and management."

Su Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and flicked the pen on Lisa's desk, "But isn't there still a few months, I'm going to wait and see, anyway, I'm not in a hurry to make a decision now." ”

"Yes, but..."

Daisy was about to say something, and the professor entered the classroom. Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly turned around, said hello to Peter, who had just arrived, and then held the name tag in front of him.

This lesson is about the market and is called Brand Management. I have long heard that this professor is particularly famous and has published a book of his own. Even though it was the first time he had met, Su Xiaoxiao was still attracted by the powerful aura of the white-bearded professor in front of him.

Michael Taver doesn't look very old, but his hair is much grayer, and his beard is white, like Santa Claus's beard.

On the bridge of the nose are small round-framed glasses, and the long line of glasses hangs from the ears, which feels like a pendulum. He lowered his head slightly, keeping his gaze above the frame, and just glanced at everyone in the class.

The second he made eye contact with him, Su Xiaoxiao felt a chill behind her back, and couldn't help touching her arm.

“Sue Su？”

After introducing himself, Michael walked up to Su Xiaoxiao's name tag, glanced at her name with interest, and then asked, "Can you tell everyone in the class why brand management is important to us?"

Hearing Peter beside him gasp, Su Xiaoxiao reflexively replied yes first, thinking how could he be so lucky. Su Xiaoxiao had heard that Michael Talker would cold call students before class, but she would have thought that she could meet herself in the first class without preparation.

Pretending to be okay, he pinched his palm, Su Xiaoxiao smiled and looked at Michael, a serious bullshit.

“I think brand management is important from three aspects， brand loyalty， brand reputation and brand awareness， which in turn， drives profitability and helps the business maintain a competitive position ...”

Balabala spoke a lot like memorizing a text, and Su Xiaoxiao ended his speech with satisfaction.

After teaching at Johnson for so many years, Su Xiaoxiao was the second student Michael Taver met who could report three points in the first class, and couldn't help but put away his questioning eyes, replaced them with a tone full of appreciation, said a greatest sentence for the first time, and then walked back to the podium with his back hand.

Su Xiaoxiao dared to take a big breath, her body relaxed a little, and her eyes saw Peter next to her combing her thumbs up, and smiled faintly.

Michael Taver's classes are lively and interesting, and they always combine some real stories, Su Xiaoxiao was fascinated by what she listened to, and she left the class unconsciously. Before Su Xiaoxiao finished putting away the notebook in front of her, Saska rushed to her side.

"Su Xiaoxiao! I was really nervous just now, and the moment Michael clicked on you, I felt like I was being shocked. ”

Alice looked empathetic, and pretended to be struck by lightning.

"yes, yes, I'm not behind Xiaoxiao, I don't even dare to look up," Lisa added, "I'm afraid I'll be called out when I meet Michael's eyes." Anyway, I really don't know anything, and I'm really going to be embarrassed. ”

"It's just that we didn't learn anything related to the market last semester, who knew that Michael was so ruthless, and he really called cold."

Jessica patted Su Xiaoxiao's back comfortingly, "But fortunately, we Xiaoxiao know a lot, and the answer is like a stream, I want to worship to death." ”

"Hehe," Su Xiaoxiao touched his head embarrassedly, "To tell you the truth, I still saw the book we were going to learn this semester on the bookshelf of Mr. Yi's house that day, and I was curious, so I asked him to tell me about it casually." I didn't expect it to be used! ”

"Wow, Su Xiaoxiao, you still secretly learn first!"

"Next time, I'll take you with me to steal school!"

"Forget it, I don't want to dedicate my extracurricular time to studying."

"Well, I'll get Andrew."

...

The four of you are talking like cross talk, and Su Xiaoxiao felt that the previous tension because he was not sure about the future direction disappeared in an instant.

But before going to bed at night, I still think about it, and I can't sleep well when I lie on the bed and toss and turn. Turning on the bedside lamp in the dark, Su Xiaoxiao called Yan Yimo again.

"Mr. Yi, what professional direction do you say I want to choose next year, if I choose the wrong one, is my future career trajectory wrong?"

Su Xiaoxiao's hand holding the phone sweated slightly, "What is that called, one wrong step, one wrong step." ”

Yan Yimo sounded like he had just woken up, and said lazily, "Little ghost, what are you thinking." You're only a freshman, so why are you worried about your life? I'm afraid that Su Xiaoxiao will be worried and won't sleep well, "Don't be afraid, I'll help you choose it when the time comes." If you can't do it, I'll ask my friends from all walks of life to help you point you out, okay? ”

"Well," Su Xiaoxiao said as a matter of course, "you can't ignore me anyway." ”

Yan Yimo's lazy laughter came from the other end of the phone, and Su Xiaoxiao felt like she had taken a reassuring pill.

"Then I'll go back to sleep, and you should go to bed early. Good night. ”

"Well, good night. Don't think about it. ”

The cool breeze at night blew into the room through the crack in the window, and Su Xiaoxiao slept very soundly.

With Yan Yimo accompanying her, the future doesn't seem to be so confused.
