Chapter 266: Isn't This Underestimating People?
Niu Xiaoqiang's tone was very sincere: "In addition to studying, he also helped me start a business, provided me with a very big boost, my current mechanical processing factory was founded with his full assistance, his relationship with me is like a grandson, I promised him to take care of his old age, if I go to the United States with you, he will definitely be sad, which is unacceptable to me." β
"Then, it took me a lot of effort to achieve what I am today, although this little achievement is not worth mentioning in your opinion, but if you consider the emotions and energy I have put into it, I believe you should be able to understand my feelings, the factory is like my child, I am really reluctant to abandon it. β
"The last point, I don't know anything about computers now, even if I go to the United States with you, I have to learn from scratch, or let me continue to start a business in China first, learn computer technology by myself, and do my master's ideological work by the way, and when the opportunity is right, it's not too late to go abroad with you, anyway, I'm still young, and I'm not even seventeen years old this year, and I'm not in a hurry, what do you say?"
After listening to Niu Xiaoqiang's reasonable, well-founded explanation, Watson couldn't help but nodded: "What you said has some truth, and it also proves from the side that in addition to being a genius, you are also a very emotional and rational person, as you said, you are still young, for a genius like you, I am willing to wait." β
In order to strengthen his tone, Watson spoke very slowly, and this time the translator sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs finally understood, and he looked at Watson in surprise: "Professor Watson, you just said that you were willing to wait for him, I don't know what you are waiting for him for?"
Watson didn't hide it, and directly said his intention: "I told Director Chen before that I came to China this time to find a little boy, this little boy is Niu Xiaoqiang, and the reason why I am looking for him is to let him enter the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and become my student." β
The translator thought he had misheard, and wondered, "What did you just say, let him go to MIT as a student?"
The more surprised others were, the more proud Watson became, and he smiled very openly: "Yes, I just want him to be my student, a genius like him, there is no teacher who will not be moved, and it is absolutely God's arrangement that I can meet him." β
The last sentence was a little numb, and Niu Xiaoqiang reminded a little embarrassed: "Professor, we Chinese don't believe in God." β
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe in God, anyway, I do, and I think the encounter with you must be God's arrangement. β
Those who didn't understand couldn't help but ask the translator, "What did Professor Watson just say? Why do you have this expression?"
The translator almost dropped his jaw just now, but when he heard this, he reacted and translated Watson's words.
At this moment, all the people in the box were stunned, everyone stared at Niu Xiaoqiang, and they thought as if they were turning over the river and the sea: How old is this guy? What is so special about him that he can be so valued by Professor Watson?!
The most shocking thing is Xiaolan, she once heard her father say that Niu Xiaoqiang seems to have dropped out of school before graduating from junior high school. Of course, this guy's English level is really good, even better than himself, and he can communicate with foreigners normally. But when MIT enrolls students, it will not be open to the net because of this, and there are not no students with better English proficiency than Niu Xiaoqiang in China, and I haven't seen anyone who has been admitted to MIT because of this?
There is a saying that people have to die more than people, and they throw more goods. Xiaolan originally had a psychological advantage in the face of Niu Xiaoqiang, but now, her heart is full of frustration. I couldn't even get into Tsinghua University, and I was dreaming to go to MIT.
Let's take a look at Comrade Xiaoqiang, who didn't graduate from junior high school, Professor Watson came to China specifically for him, begging to recruit him, and even willing to wait for him. To put it bluntly, as long as Niu Xiaoqiang nods, he can report to MIT at any time. What do you say there is no quota? Since Professor Watson dares to guarantee it in this way, is the quota still a problem? Compared with Comrade Xiaoqiang, he is a fart!
"Niu, Niu Xiaoqiang, you ...... You don't think you even graduated from junior high school, do you?, I wonder why Professor Watson thinks so highly of you?"
She is not stupid, after the shock, she was keenly aware of such a problem: I might as well inquire about the situation and see what shortcut Niu Xiaoqiang took, if she can draw the scoop in the same way, then she may be able to study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which is the world's No. 1 science and engineering university, and I am excited to think about it.
Niu Xiaoqiang smiled bitterly and said to Watson: "Look at you, everyone is so surprised, she asked me how I made you look the other way, how do you ask me to answer?"
Watson had a nonchalant expression: "I know you Chinese are very modest, but we Americans don't talk about this, don't she want to know the answer?" Okay, let me tell her personally!"
Watson opened his backpack and pulled out a notebook from it.
This notebook is still the one from last year, and after opening it, Niu Xiaoqiang found that the very difficult math problem still exists, and the answers he wrote down at the beginning are also kept, which shows that Watson has always been concerned about himself.
Watson was not polite at all, and directly handed the notebook to Xiaolan, slowed down his voice and asked, "Can you understand what I said?"
Xiaolan nodded, looking at the notebook in confusion, not knowing what medicine was sold in Watson's gourd.
Watson grinned, his smile was a little evil: "This is the question I asked to investigate Xiaoqiang at the beginning, and the following is the answer he answered at that time, you take a closer look and see if you can understand it." β
This is obviously a bit of a joke, Xiaolan was immediately unhappy, and said in her heart: You gave me the questions and answers, and actually asked me if I could understand it, isn't this a small look? Hmph, I can't lose face no matter what!
Xiaolan thought so in her heart, but on the surface, she nodded calmly and looked at it in front of everyone.
Zhang Guangmao and several other people who did not understand English could not help but ask the attachΓ© translator of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs about the situation, and after listening to the translated contents, Zhang Guangmao immediately became nervous.
In his opinion, this is actually equivalent to an assessment, if his daughter can pass the assessment, it will be easier to succeed in studying abroad, if she does not pass the assessment, it is not certain whether Watson will help.
