Li Yonghong recently heard that Qi Yueran was going to participate in the professor's personal interview, and he was even more proud of this junior.

I went to the vegetable market early in the morning to prepare fresh ingredients, specially made chili fried meat noodles for her, and served a bowl of stir-fried vegetables.

"Yue, my aunt saw the look in your eyes when you first entered the door, and she knew that you were a tough girl, and she would definitely be able to achieve great things in the future, but I didn't expect that in this short period of time, I would be able to participate in the personal interview of Professor Sha University."

"Thanks to Aunt Hong for giving me the opportunity to take me in, I can be exposed to it near the university town, and under the benign influence, Aunt Hong's son will definitely not be bad."

Li Yonghong gave her a chopstick of vegetables, smiled and shook her head.

"He, after finishing the normal middle school, he was assigned to Xuancheng Primary School as a teacher, and now he can come back to accompany me during the winter and summer vacations."

No matter what era it is, teachers are iron rice bowls in the eyes of their elders.

Li Yonghong also said this in a somewhat relieved tone.

Qi Yueran also took the opportunity to praise this young landlord brother who had never met.

"How good it is to be a teacher, I can accompany you during winter and summer vacations, and I have a lot more time than ordinary people. When Brother Ah Rong comes back next time, he will definitely come back with a big bag to honor you. ”

"Hahaha, you're still sweet-mouthed, finish this bowl of noodles quickly, and I won't talk to you anymore, so as not to delay your interview time."

Qi Yueran nodded and sped up.

After carefully counting the materials in your hand and in your bag, and making sure that everything was correct, you finally set off.

This time, she was able to communicate face-to-face with the domestic industrial design master she admired the most, but she still felt very unreal.

Her heart was still flustering, more nervous than any interview she'd ever had before.

Originally, Qi Yueran felt that it was too hot, so he could just go by himself.

But Ye Huaping felt that she had to be by her side at such an important moment.

After all, Warburg Pincus is also a "local" who has been in Shada for almost two years.

She volunteered to lead Yueran to the Department of Industrial Design of the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering.

Entering the building, Hua Ping let go of Yue Ran's hand, intending to sit quietly in the reading room next to her and wait for her.

Qi Yueran clenched the resume in his hand tightly.

They arrived very early today, and the interview time was agreed at nine o'clock, and they arrived at half past eight.

Standing at the door of the reading room, although she had been taking deep breaths to adjust herself, she was still so nervous that her palms were sweating.

Ye Huaping stepped forward, patted her shoulder gently, and cheered Yue Ran with a smile:

"Don't be nervous, you're well prepared, believe in yourself."

It seems that she has returned to her previous life, before she took the college entrance examination.

Her mother only sent her to the school gate and watched her walk into the self-study area.

On the way to the exam room, I kept chatting with her, helping her calm down and keeping her confident.

"Regardless of whether you succeed this time or not, my sister is here waiting for you, just let go of yourself and give full play to your true strength."

[Let's take the college entrance examination with a flat mind and give full play to our strength, we don't have to worry about not being able to go to a good university, my mother will cook at noon and wait for you at home! ] 】

It seems that at the same time, the words of her mother in her previous life cheering her are ringing in her ears.

Ye Huaping's image gradually overlapped in front of her eyes.

A young and lively one is in front of her, and a gentle and tolerant one is in her mind.

She pushed open the door of the reading room, turned back when she was leaving, and said to Ye Huaping:

"Sister, I'm going up, just wait here for my good news."

[Mom, I'll do my best.] 】

At the same time, she meditated in her heart, and gradually became full of strength and determination to go to the exam.

Soon at the door of the interview room agreed by Professor Wei, she took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down, but with little effect.

After looking at the wall-hung time, it was only fifteen minutes, and I finally mustered up the courage to walk into the interview room.

"Teacher Xin?"

She couldn't help but whisper to the young male student in front of her who was preparing for her written exam.

Why did Yue Ran know the young student in front of her?

also blurted out, calling him Teacher Xin?

Because, she really didn't expect to meet her mentor in her previous life here.

This person with half-long hair and silver-rimmed glasses full of artistic atmosphere is her graduate supervisor in her previous life-

Xin Zongyou.

Xin Zongyou was also quite trendy when he was young......

She almost didn't recognize it, but her mouth was faster than her heart, and she hesitated whether it was right or not, so she opened her mouth and called out directly.

Yue Ran regretted it for a moment, but quickly reacted and changed her name:

"Hello senior."

Xin Zongyou straightened out the test papers, lifted his glasses and raised his head, and said hello in a flat tone:

"It's Qi, right?"

"Yes."

Qi Yueran felt that his tone was indifferent, and the thirty-six degree sky made her chill.

However, it may also be that Xin Zongyou's residual power in the previous life is still there.

After all, he was too "rolled" in his hands before, participated in countless competitions, and wrote an unknown number of papers.

"You may be seated."

Xin Zongyou raised his hand to signal, and his posture was relaxed and chic.

"Professor Wei arranged for me to give you a simple written test in the morning, with a time limit of two hours, after the written test, Professor Wei will interview you based on your written test, is it okay?"

"Yes."

"If there are no other problems, we can start now."

"Okay."

Qi Yueran took out a pencil, pen, drawing tools and scratch paper, and took the test paper of the written test.

The test paper is handwritten.

Because if it is for her to interview alone, it is more troublesome to print and difficult to arrange, so handwriting is easier to prepare.

She recognized at a glance that this was Xin Zongyou's handwriting, smooth but very neat, not as skillful as he was in his previous life, but it was already self-contained.

She thought a little depressed, no one really told her that the written test for this interview was actually invigilated by the master of the previous life.

But it's okay, it's more or less an acquaintance.

Although Qi Yueran was always in awe of Xin Zongyou, the relationship between teachers and students was very harmonious, and he learned a lot from him.

Qi Yueran retracted his thoughts and answered the question seriously.

The written test lasts for two hours, but there are two noun explanations, two short-answer essays, and a hand-drawn quick question at the back.

Therefore, the exam time is very tight, which is also a test for her.

The noun explanation test is about design psychology and ergonomics, and she reviewed it thoroughly and quickly completed this part.

The short answer essay briefly describes the cultural imagery in product function innovation and design, respectively.

She is also good at these two questions, and elaborates on as many aspects as possible.

At the same time, it also avoids some design concepts and words from the future, so as to avoid being exposed and too advanced.

After answering the question, I took a cursory look at it, and I was generally satisfied.

There is exactly one hour left to draw by hand after these answers.

For the past hour, Xin Zongyou has been sitting across from her to process some user survey data.

He saw that Qi Yueran was answering the questions very quickly, and the answering ideas seemed to be smooth, so he was also interested in picking up her paper and planning to take a look.

Qi Yueran saw that he was already looking at his answer sheet, and there was still a strange nervousness in his heart.

always felt like handing over the design drawings to him for approval in his previous life, as if Xin Zongyou was going to scold him in the next second.

As Professor Wei's most proud protégé now, Xin Zongyou was initially sent to invigilate a little girl from an unknown source who had never even studied in high school.

He was very unhappy about this, so he was very cold to Yue Ran.

He felt that the possibility of finding talent in this way was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack and wasting his precious time.

If you have the energy to invigilate, you might as well go upstairs and sort out the analysis reports of user questionnaires and interviews.

But now holding her paper has changed his previous thoughts.

He couldn't help but marvel at the clarity of her answers and the solidity of her basic knowledge.

This is already the level of an excellent undergraduate, and it is even much stronger than the average undergraduates who fish for three days and dry their nets for two days and float on the surface!

Theories are also written with their own opinions, unlike the template of ordinary people.

Moreover, what made him feel even more strange was that many of the design concepts of the girl in front of him were very consistent with his own.

The words are precise, and in just a few words, they express the design concept that they wanted to express but could not express before on this answer sheet.

Xin Zongyou's brows furrowed, and he slowly put down the test paper.

Stared at Qi Yueran's pen tip and watched her hand-draw.

If the theory may still be taught and memorized in advance, then the hand-drawn painting cannot be faked.

In order to think of a more complete product in a short period of time, you must rely on real ability to perfectly present your design.

Qi Yueran felt his sharp gaze, and couldn't help but feel nervous and apprehensive in his heart.

Just after answering the question, she has tried her best to avoid mixing with Xin Zongyou's personal style that she learned when she was in graduate school, and she just hopes that it will not make people suspicious again.

Distractions aside...... Distractions aside!

She admonished herself: [Now Xin Zongyou is the same age...... It's air! 】

[Only a few years older than yourself, don't always feel oppressed by your mentor.] 】

She calmed down and carefully analyzed the exam questions-

[Design a water bottle.] 】

Very classic topic, but also difficult to innovate.

Thinking about the few sketches she had just drawn quickly on the scratch paper, she decided on the core plan and began to draw on the answer sheet.

Xin Zongyou was inconvenient to disturb her quick question design, interrupted the rhythm of her painting, and quietly retreated behind the table.

But just based on the design style and hand-drawing level of a few sketches on the scratch paper, he can already conclude that the girl in front of him must have absolutely strong design skills.

Her performance completely changed his perception of her.

Her strength...... It's much higher than he envisioned.

Xin Zongyou silently admired her test paper and had already made a judgment on her ability.

Now it's a hand-drawn test, so no one can come here to help her.

He can now leave early for the time being, and hand over her answer sheet to Professor Wei Donggao for review.

"You paint here, I'll go out first."

"Okay."

Qi Yueran nodded, and the speed in his hand did not decrease.

She hopes to give full play to her ability to complete this quick question and leave the best first impression on Professor Wei.

Xin Zongyou left the classroom, and her nervousness and restraint were further eased.

Now, I can let go of my hands and feet and play to the extreme.

Her hand-drawn tools are limited, which is also a challenge for her.

Not to mention this life, even in her previous life, she had never tried to take the quick written test of industrial design with only a black ballpoint pen and six or seven pencils.

Although this is a university town, it has the most complete range of stationery.

However, special art pencils, markers and pastels can only be purchased at supermarkets in the city center or next to design centers.

However, people with absolute strength will not be hindered by a little difficulty in stationery.

Qi Yueran completed the line drawing within 20 minutes, and all of them were drawn with a ballpoint pen.

This method of drawing is very time-saving, and it also avoids the dilemma of not having a pencil, but the requirements for the painter are very high, and there can be no mistakes.

As soon as a line is redundant, or the angle and curvature are wrong, the whole painting will be irreversible and irretrievable.

But Yue Ran is not an ordinary person.

She even went above and beyond to complete the line drawing part perfectly.

And when it comes to coloring, the expression of materials.

She lined up the few colored pencils she had and quickly tried them out on scratch paper.

This is a more feasible method, the color presentation of monochrome lead is really thin, and it lacks texture, so it needs to be enriched in this way.

Time passed minute by minute, and she was finally about to finish answering the question.

Add a little detail on the line drawing, add a big heading, and organize the language to write the design description......

Qi Yueran gently put down the pen in his hand and let out a long sigh of relief.

In the examination room, she focused on each question and showed what she had learned as much as possible.

The expression of colored pencil may not be delicate enough, after all, it can never be used as the main expression of the material, but it is enough to reflect the way she thinks and deals with difficulties.

She wasn't sure if her answer was perfect, but at least she did it her best.
