Chapter 257: Preparing for an Interview

Lu Zhou, who had done everything in Jinling, took the bullet train back to his home, reunited with his father and mother, and taught his experience in the examination room to Xiaotong, who was taking the college entrance examination for the first time.

After all, he was also admitted to 985 with his ability, although Lu Zhou didn't know much about liberal arts, but he still had a lot of experience in some exam skills.

These details may not be able to help her get a few more points, but it is still easy to help her lose some points that she shouldn't lose.

As for the rest, it depends on how well she has studied in the past three years.

Soon it was June 7th.

On this day of great joy and sorrow, it rains at this time.

Riding a bicycle and wearing a raincoat, the land boat passed through the rain curtain and stopped at the small carport at the entrance of the No. 6 Middle School.

"It's here, come down."

A small hand lifted the back hem of his raincoat, and Xiao Tong slipped out from under his raincoat and carefully stood firm on the concrete floor covered with puddles.

"Dude......"

"Come on." Looking at his sister's worried expression, Lu Zhou reached out and rubbed her little head, and cast an encouraging look at her, "I'll wait for you here." ”

The apprehensive eyes gradually became firm, and Xiao Tong nodded vigorously.

"Hmmm! I'll do my best! ”

With that, she propped up her umbrella, rushed into the rain with a snap, and trotted in the direction of the school gate.

"Remember to check twice when you're done!"

shouted at the school gate in the heavy rain, looking at Xiao Tong who disappeared at the school gate, the corners of Lu Zhou's mouth inadvertently hooked up a smile.

The sixth middle school is divided into junior high school and high school, and when he was in high school, Xiaotong went to junior high school in the teaching building next door.

At that time, there were two bicycles in the family, one was ridden by my father and the other was used by him.

Every time he went to school, he drove her to school, and it wasn't until he went to Jinling to study that Xiaotong began to ride a bicycle by herself.

Because it was so familiar, Lu Zhou didn't even notice that this little guy who loves to cry has grown up unconsciously.

Perhaps, for her, it is not a good thing to go to study in other places.

After all, I always rely on myself, and I always count on the "brother" in everything, and I will never grow up.

"Come on."

Reminiscing a little about the past time, Lu Zhou, who was standing in the carport, sighed with emotion and took out his mobile phone.

As agreed, he will wait here until Xiaotong finishes the exam, just like those parents waiting at the school gate.

Looking at the time, it looked like there was still half an hour before the start of the exam.

Just when Lu Zhou was struggling with what to do to pass the time, he suddenly received a message on WeChat.

Mengqi: [Master! I'm about to enter the exam room, I feel so panicked, can you bless me? (。 ﹏。 ///)】

Seeing this text message, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, then smiled, poked his finger at the screen, and replied.

【Come on!】 May your dreams come true! 】

Click and send.

I waited for a while, but there was no reply from the other side.

Just when Lu Zhou thought that she had probably entered the examination room, a message came from the other side.

Just one short sentence.

[Thank you!!! 】

……

The college entrance examination ended smoothly.

According to Xiaotong's own assessment, 590 points are stable, 600 is hopeful, and how much it can be reached depends on how the teacher's pen is judged. After all, it's really hard to say about liberal arts, and subjective things with the same answer are different and teachers change them, which may produce small differences.

After the exam, Lu Zhou and Xiaotong studied it together.

According to the score line of the 15-year Golden University in Hubei Province, the early 600s in science are definitely not enough, but there is still great hope for liberal arts.

Anyway, with the end of the college entrance examination, Xiaotong's first life event is finally over.

Finally liberated from the heavy study, the little guy also completely turned on the salted fish mode, lying on the sofa all day without image and playing the glory of the king that has recently become popular. Occasionally, her classmates came downstairs and asked her to go out to play, but she was too lazy to move.

Sometimes, looking at such a sister, Lu Zhou can't help but sigh in his heart.

It's better to be young.

After she goes to college, she will probably find that these two months will probably become the most leisurely and happiest months in her future life.

After playing a game, Xiaotong turned over, looked at the old brother sitting next to him staring at the computer screen meticulously, and sighed.

"Brother, if only I had a smart head like you."

Lu Zhou could guess without looking at his mobile phone that this little guy was probably cheating someone else just now.

"I'm not completely smart, a lot of things are practiced."

He remembered that he had scored more than 640 points in the exam, although he might not be able to compare with the top students of the High School Attached to China Normal School and Jiangcheng No. 6 Middle School when he got to the provincial capital, but in the small place of Jiangling No. 6 Middle School, it was still quite awesome.

As if he felt desperate for the fate of kneeling, Xiao Tong threw away his mobile phone with an unhappy face, sat up from the sofa, leaned next to Lu Zhou, looked at the information on the computer curiously and asked, "Brother, what are you playing?" ”

Lu Zhou glanced at her: "...... Organize interview materials. ”

Xiaotong tilted his head: "Interview? ”

"Well," nodded, Lu Zhou said casually, "Princeton's fall enrollment time is coming soon, and I am also a professor now, and I only bring a single student to class, which is a little unreasonable." ”

Strictly speaking, if you enroll in the fall, the offer should be issued in March or April. Now in June, most of the students who got the offer have begun to prepare for their visas.

However, there are exceptions to everything, and some professors who have not recruited enough people, or have brushed off all their resumes (CVs), will also post their information on the admissions office's website. So, occasionally, there are masters who don't enroll at the regular time on campus.

So when Princeton University posted his information on the admissions website, his email was filled with unprocessed letters.

Some of the letters sent through the admissions office are part of it, and a lot of it is the "set of porcelain letters" sent by the students themselves.

In layman's terms, it's about it.

It's just that these sets of almost letters can see some things that are not on the resume, so they are not completely without reference value.

From these letters, it is clear that many students are interested in him and his research, especially after he proved Goldbach's conjecture and won the Cafford Prize.

Some sets of porcelain letters have even begun to pave the way for next spring's enrollment.

Fortunately, Xiao Ai helped a lot and fulfilled his duties as an assistant to help him identify and screen out those letters that had nothing to do with this enrollment, otherwise he would have to consider hiring a teaching assistant to help him do these things.

To be honest, Lu Zhou doesn't really want to pick up the omissions from the students that others have selected, but prefers to wait until August to prepare the interview list for next spring.

However, now his office is empty, and being a professor is too shabby.

After thinking about it, Lu Zhou still decided that he could not afford this salary, at least find two students to make a transition first, so that he could be familiar with the work of the professor.

Xiaotong tilted his little head and asked, "Can I have an interview at home?" ”

Lu Zhou said casually: "Of course, many tutor interviews are now conducted directly by skype video, and the busier ones are even interviewed on the phone, unless it is a more stubborn tutor, it does not necessarily have to be in school or a fixed location." ”

The main purpose of the interview is to have a preliminary understanding of the students you bring, after all, many qualities cannot be reflected on paper.

Looking at the resume with Lu Zhou, Xiaotong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed to the screen and said in surprise.

"Eh, this long-haired young lady is so beautiful, I think it's okay, brother or choose her!"

Hearing this, Lu Zhou, who was holding a cup and preparing to drink saliva, almost didn't squirt out.

"You think this is a blind date!"

Xiaotong looked confused: "Then how to choose?" ”

"Set a lower limit on paper and look at your resume. Those who have the ability to stay for the interview, and those who are not able to brush it off directly, it's as simple as that. Go and go, play while you go, don't disturb my work. Lu Zhou waved his hand and made a driving motion.

"Hush, stingy!"

Xiaotong grimaced dissatisfied, turned around and slipped into the room to play on the computer.
