Tsinghua University's annual enrollment quota is fixed, for example, if it is ready to recruit 50 students in a certain province, it means that only the top 50 students in this province can be admitted to Tsinghua University safely, and the 51st place is not guaranteed. Although the provincial No. 1 middle school is powerful, there are several other high schools in the province that are also very strong, and what Xiaolan said is relatively objective.

Niu Xiaoqiang scratched his head and looked embarrassed: "If this is the case, it is estimated that MIT will not be able to admit you, I heard that they seem to be the top science and engineering universities in the world, even if they are admitted to Tsinghua University, it is difficult for them to look down on them, you can't even get into Tsinghua University, and the hope is naturally even slimmer." ”

Zhang Guangmao interjected: "We are self-aware, and we don't necessarily have to go to such a good school, and it's acceptable to be a little closer, right, Xiaolan?"

Xiaolan nodded: "Dad is right, I still weigh my own pounds, with my grades, there is absolutely no possibility of entering MIT, people only recruit a few students in China every year, I even have a problem to be admitted to Tsinghua University, how can I be admitted to them?"

Niu Xiaoqiang said: It is so difficult for domestic students to enter MIT, but Watson promised that as long as I nodded, he promised that I could go to MIT, saying that I was really so good in his eyes?

"In that case, I'll help you inquire later, and see what level of school in the United States is suitable for you. ”

"Yes, thank you. ”

After the matter of studying abroad became apparent, Xiaolan's attitude obviously changed, she was no longer as indifferent as before, and took the initiative to chat with Niu Xiaoqiang. It is estimated that she really wants to go abroad to see the world, and wants Niu Xiaoqiang to help her sincerely, so she takes the initiative to show her goodwill.

After about ten minutes, dense footsteps sounded in the corridor outside, and the four people in the box immediately stood up and walked to the door to look outside.

The leader was a middle-aged man with glasses, followed by a tall old foreign man. Niu Xiaoqiang saw Watson and recognized it at a glance. He walked out of the box first, and took the initiative to greet Watson when he was far away: "Professor Watson, let's meet again, fortunately." ”

Watson was stunned when he saw Niu Xiaoqiang, and his face was full of doubt. Compared with a year ago, Niu Xiaoqiang has changed a lot, and the biggest change is his height. Niu Xiaoqiang used to be very short, but now he has risen several centimeters taller, plus he eats quite well, and his body is a lot stronger, so it's no wonder that Watson didn't recognize him at first sight.

Although the height and body shape have changed a lot, the change in facial features is not so big, Watson suddenly laughed after looking at it a few times: "Haha! Sure enough, it's you! I didn't expect that I could really find you in China this time!"

He trotted over as he spoke, grabbing Niu Xiaoqiang's arm, as if he was worried that Niu Xiaoqiang would slip away from him.

He was followed by seven people, all of whom looked shocked at Watson's appearance. They were in charge of receiving Watson, some from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, some from the Ministry of Education, and they hadn't seen him so polite to anyone since they had known him.

Thinking of the past, Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. In order to prepare for the next thing, he took the initiative to apologize to Watson: "Professor Watson, I'm really sorry for what happened last time, I didn't expect you to be really a professor at MIT, and I thought you were a liar, I hope you don't take it to heart." ”

Watson has been haunted by last year's events during this time, and after returning to the United States, he complained that he didn't get things done. This time I came to China to fulfill my original regrets.

He originally thought that this matter would require a lot of effort, but he didn't expect to see Niu Xiaoqiang on the first day he arrived in Qingjiang, and the other party's attitude had changed so significantly. Watson felt very funny, and couldn't help laughing heartily: "I was too presumptuous last time, I can't blame you, since you took the initiative to meet me this time, you must have thought it through, right?"

Of course, Niu Xiaoqiang has already thought it through, he still won't study abroad for the time being, at least until his business is on the right track.

"Professor Watson, it's lunchtime, let's talk while we eat, please come in. ”

Others couldn't speak at all, and everyone could see that Watson only had Niu Xiaoqiang in his eyes. Under Niu Xiaoqiang's greeting, Watson walked into the box with a smile. The crowd followed, each seated in his own circle.

Niu Xiaoqiang is still very good at being a person, and as soon as he sat down, he helped to introduce: "This is today's host factory director, this is his secretary Mr. Zhou, and this is Xiaolan, the daughter of Director Zhang." ”

Watson nodded to the three of them, and then introduced a few people around him. When Niu Xiaoqiang heard that these people were all staff members of national ministries and commissions, he immediately lowered his posture and greeted several people warmly. Seeing that he was so polite, several people responded with smiles.

After the two sides introduced each other, Zhang Guangmao immediately instructed the staff to serve the food. Niu Xiaoqiang asked in a low voice, "Professor Watson, do you want to taste two glasses of Chinese wine?"

Watson is in a good mood and is not averse to drinking: "It's okay to taste it." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded and conveyed Watson's meaning to Zhang Guangmao. Zhang Guangmao hurriedly instructed the staff to move a box of Moutai over.

Waiting for the food to be served, Watson couldn't help but ask, "Little guy, I still don't know your personal situation, can you introduce yourself?"

Niu Xiaoqiang introduced himself with a smile: "My surname is Niu, my name is Niu Xiaoqiang, I live in Niujia Village, Aoshan Town, I am not yet 17 years old this year, I have dropped out of school and am starting my own business. ”

Watson was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you study?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "I didn't study after graduating from the second year of junior high school." ”

"You just said that you are starting a business, I don't know what industry you are mainly engaged in?"

"At present, the main business is machining, and we are preparing to build a daily chemical factory and a pharmaceutical factory. ”

Watson's face became a little ugly: "I knew that people like you would not be willing to be bland, so it was impossible for you to go to MIT with me?"

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled slightly: "Professor, I really can't go to MIT with you for the time being, so let's wait until my career stabilizes before thinking about this issue." ”

Watson's face immediately turned cloudy, and he pouted: "Xiaoqiang, if you really want to make money, it's better to go to the United States, there are opportunities everywhere, with your smart mind, there is no problem in doing a big career in the United States, I dare to assure you that you will make more money in the United States than you make in China, or you should quickly close the factory and go to the United States with me now." ”
