The results came out the second week after the exam.

R30 + L30 + S29 + W29, a total of 118 points.

Isn't it a perfect score?

It's understandable that one point is deducted from writing, but this spoken language ......

Lu Zhou was very curious about where the 1 point was deducted.

But in fact, it doesn't matter, the TOEFL score of 118 is quite against the sky, and the score line of the average university is only 100. In the future, if he plans to study abroad for a master's degree, with this score, he can not worry about language matters at all.

The day after he got his TOEFL score card, Lu Zhou happened to receive an email from the embassy, informing him to go to the embassy in Shanghai for an interview.

After buying the ticket, Lu Zhou took the household registration book and a lot of materials that may or may not be used, took the high-speed rail, and embarked on a trip to Shanghai.

Speaking of which, this is his first time in this cosmopolitan metropolis.

Opened a room in a hotel near the embassy and rested for the night.

The next morning, Lu Zhou went to the embassy and consulate with the materials.

In time for the holiday travel rush, the downstairs of the building is crowded with people, all crowded into the street next to it. There are white-collar workers who travel on business, families who travel abroad together, and students who organize groups to participate in summer camps or academic competitions abroad, and of course, there are also students with impure motives.

From the morning to the afternoon, and I went to have a meal in the middle, Lu Zhou finally squeezed into the building.

However, when he entered, he realized that the queue had just begun......

……

I have to say that getting a visa is simply a torturous thing.

There was no mobile phone to play with, and there was no one he knew next to him, so Lu Zhou could only bored to look around at the young lady to pass the time.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a man and a woman in line behind him, as if discussing the matter of studying abroad. Because the man spoke loudly, although Lu Zhou was not very interested, he still heard it.

The tall and thin boy was probably an international student.

The girl standing next to him may be his girlfriend who is studying in China, or it may be a female friend who has a better relationship.

In a tone full of superiority, the man spoke eloquently without hesitating the volume.

“…… In the past few years of studying abroad in Virginia, the biggest impression is what kind of environment, what kind of individuals are created, and what kind of people can I learn from those junk universities in China. It's nothing more than a mixed day, mixed diplomas. When you come to the U.S., I can show you around our school. If you observe a few lectures, you will find that the professors there are not at the same level at all as the professors in domestic universities. ”

The map is over, man.

It's just a little quieter, and if you hear it, you shouldn't hear it, but it's not small.

Lu Zhou couldn't help but interject: "That's not necessarily, I think it depends on the individual to learn this thing well." ”

Hearing this complaint, the man stopped.

Glancing back at Lu Zhou, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked impatiently, "Oh, which university are you?" ”

"Kim Dae."

"Jinling University? Oh, 985," the man chuckled, with a hint of mockery in his tone, "It's okay in China, but this world ranking, I'm afraid it has to be outside the TOP100, right?" I think you look like you're traveling, and you'll know when you go out to see, even if you can score more than 600 points in the domestic test, it's nothing outside. ”

Anyway, the queue was idle, so Lu Zhou joked with a smile: "I received an offer from the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University, but I didn't go." ”

The man suddenly laughed: "Laugh, if you don't apply to other people's colleges, others will give you a hairy offer." Brother, you are so awesome, can you make a draft first? ”

Lu Zhou inquired about this and was happy: "I really haven't applied yet, they have to send me an offer, what can I do?" ”

The man looked at Lu Zhou with idiot eyes: "Hehe, I also received an offer from the White House, Obama personally wrote to Lao Tzu to be an international relations consultant...... Whoever brags about it, who can't do it! Have you asked the cow for his opinion? ”

MDZZ！

Lu Zhou didn't bother to argue about anything.

Rational debate can pass the time, but it's no fun to mess around.

According to Lu Zhou's point of view, learning this thing still lies with the individual. Environmental impacts are certainly present, but not absolute. As long as you are willing to work hard, the second book may not be able to produce a cow and a scholar, if you fish and play soy sauce all day long, even if you enter Shuimuyan, you will be a scumbag. This has nothing to do with whether there is a system or not, how talented it is, and it has nothing to do with half a dime.

It's the same with studying abroad.

Soon, it was his turn.

Behind the window is a young-looking, blonde lady in her twenties, probably an intern who has been transferred as a holiday. However, although she looks like an intern, she speaks fluent Mandarin and speaks more standard than the people of Beijing, and she can't tell which country she is from without looking at her face.

With an expressionless face, the young lady asked questions routinely.

"Why go to the United States?"

Lu Zhou: "I was invited to the Princeton Mathematics Conference, and there was a 30-minute presentation waiting for me. ”

"Princeton's academic conference?" Hearing Princeton, the visa officer's young lady glanced at Lu Zhou in surprise, probably thinking that he was too young, and paused for a while before continuing, "Can I read your invitation?" ”

"Here, of course."

The invitation from Princeton was taken out of the file bag, and Lu Zhou placed it at the window.

After receiving the invitation, the young lady carefully checked it, and then tapped it a few more times on the keyboard.

Maybe she couldn't confirm it, but she also found an older colleague next to her and asked for his opinion.

After a while, the authenticity of the invitation was finally verified.

The young lady of the visa officer left her passport, returned the other materials to Lu Zhou, and said with a smile: "I wish you a pleasant journey, sir." ”

"Thank you."

Lu Zhou nodded and left with the materials.

Standing behind Lu Zhou, the man looked at Lu Zhou's departing back in amazement.

Princeton......

Even if he didn't know anything about mathematics, after studying in the United States for so long, he wouldn't even know what the Ivy League schools were.

Not to mention Princeton, no matter which of the eight league schools, it is not comparable to the Virginia Tech that he paid to get into.

Not to mention, others are still invited to academic conferences.

I was invited......

After about ten seconds, the girl with bangs next to him whispered weakly.

"I seem to have seen him somewhere......"

The man came back to his senses and subconsciously asked, "Where?" ”

The girl whispered, "On the neck...... His name seems to be Lu or something? It was an undergraduate student of Jinling University who solved that mathematical problem some time ago. ”

His face was a little hot, and the man blushed, but he didn't want to lose face in front of his girlfriend, so he said stiffly: "It's just a math problem, it's a hairy use, and the domestic media made a fuss......"

As soon as he said this, someone next to him burst out laughing.

An uncle who was also queuing up held back a smile and couldn't help but complain: "It's useless, so it makes everyone make a fuss and get a scholarship of one million." ”

The man blushed and stopped talking.

He also found out that he pretended to find the wrong person and pretended to be the second force......
