"How much is the tuition fee for this university a year?"

"It's about $20,000 a year. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang thanked him, and then explained the situation to Zhang Guangmao. He especially pointed out the problem of tuition fees, so that Zhang Guangmao knew what to expect.

Zhang Guangmao was not worried about tuition fees at all, and he was so happy to hear that his daughter could go to a world-class university for further study.

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Zhang, can you really afford the tuition fee of $20,000 a year?"

Niu Xiaoqiang is quite worried about this, no matter how high Zhang Guangmao's salary is, it is at most two or three hundred per month, which is far from the tuition fee of 20,000 US dollars a year. Unless he is corrupt, then it is possible to afford it, otherwise everything is not to be discussed.

Before Zhang Guangmao could speak, Director Chen laughed: "Comrade Xiaoqiang, you don't know, the most difficult thing to study abroad now is not the tuition fee, but the quota, as long as you can get the quota - that is, to get the admission letter of a well-known foreign university, you can apply to the education department for the qualification of studying at public expense, which may be difficult for others, but with Director Zhang's connections in the Ministry of Petroleum, there should be no problem if you want to apply successfully." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang understood at this time, and he smiled at Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, congratulations, you will be able to realize your dream soon." ”

Xiaolan's expression looked very excited, her eyes were red, and she sincerely thanked Niu Xiaoqiang: "If there is no you, there is absolutely no hope for this matter, Xiaoqiang, thank you for your help." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and waved his hand: "You yourself are also very capable, if you are not that material, I can't help if I want to." ”

Zhang Guangmao beckoned: "Let's go, let's go to the box to eat and chat, Xiaoqiang, you have to drink two cups of what you say today, don't shirk!"

Niu Xiaoqiang had never drunk alcohol, and originally wanted to refuse, but seeing the pleasant atmosphere of the scene, he was not easy to refuse, so he had to nod with a wry smile: "I only drink a little bit, too much is not good." ”

Everyone returned to the box and sat down, eating and drinking happily.

Although Moutai wine is delicious, it has no taste at all for Niu Xiaoqiang, and the wine is so spicy that his tears flow out after entering the mouth, and his facial features are all distorted together.

Professor Watson was drinking Chinese wine for the first time, and he was a little unaccustomed to it, and in less than half an hour, the two of them were drunk one after another, and they didn't even know how to get back to the room.

When Niu Xiaoqiang woke up, it was already dark, and as soon as he opened his eyes, Yu Simei's voice sounded at the head of the bed: "Xiaoqiang, are you awake, do you want to drink some water?"

Niu Xiaoqiang's throat and eyes were about to smoke, and he sat up a little dizzy: "Well, please help Sister Yu pour me a glass of warm boiled water." ”

After a while, the warm boiled water was handed to Niu Xiaoqiang. He drank the boiling water in one go, wiped his mouth and said, "It's much more comfortable now, Sister Yu, when did you come?"

Yu Simei smiled and said: "I came at one o'clock in the afternoon, those waiters are very enthusiastic, they helped me open a guest room next door, I saw that you drank too much, so I stayed here to take care of you, are you hungry? Do you want me to go out and buy you something to eat?"

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't eat a mouthful of food at noon, and his stomach was indeed a little hungry, but this is a guest house, and it is equipped with a canteen, so he can't go out to buy things. He stood up and got used to it, and then he spoke: "I have a hospitality card, let's go to the cafeteria to eat." ”

Yu Simei nodded, and asked as she walked: "A foreigner came to visit you just now, and he said that he lived in the opposite door, so let you go to him after you wake up, Xiaoqiang, when did you know a foreigner?"

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't want to make this matter a storm in the city, so he covered it up: "I met by accident." ”

Yu Simei saw that he didn't want to say more, so she didn't ask again.

After walking out of the door, Niu Xiaoqiang knocked on Watson's door. The door soon opened, and Watson, who was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, walked out: "Xiaoqiang, are you okay?"

"Alright, Professor, have you eaten, would you like to come with me for a bite to eat?"

Watson looked at Yu Simei and said with a smile: "The waiter brought me a meal just now, I have already eaten, you can eat it yourself, come over after eating, I have something to tell you." ”

"Okay, then I'll go. ”

After the two left, Watson immediately returned to his room and tapped at the laptop he had brought with him. He is making a special learning plan for Niu Xiaoqiang about computer knowledge, and wants Niu Xiaoqiang to become familiar with this subject as soon as possible.

Niu Xiaoqiang ordered two dishes with a hospitality card, sat opposite Yu Simei, and asked while eating, "Sister Yu, have you bought your clothes?"

Yu Simei's body is still wearing the same clothes as in the morning, and her hairstyle has not changed. She nodded: "It's already been bought and put in my room." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang sighed: "I have to go out tomorrow to run errands, and it is estimated that it will take at least two or three days, how do you arrange it? Do you go back to Aoshan in advance, or do you want to play in the city for a few more days?"

Yu Simei thought for a while, and then replied: "I have a rare chance to come out, so let's play in the city for two more days." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang showed an apologetic look: "I may not have time to take you out shopping, so you can only go by yourself." ”

Yu Simei smiled understandingly: "It's okay, I can take care of myself." ”

"Xiaoqiang, you're awake, my dad asked me to entertain you, are you free later?"

Niu Xiaoqiang looked back and saw Xiaolan walking briskly towards this side. She changed into a very fashionable spring dress, which looked good, which was very in line with the image of a literary young woman.

Walking up to the front, Xiaolan looked at Yu Simei with a curious expression: "Who is this sister ......?"

"She is my Master's partner, named Yu Simei. ”

Xiaolan looked very polite, and shook Yu Simei's hand with a smile: "Sister Yu is good." ”

Yu Simei was a little nervous, and the handshake was a little unnatural.

Niu Xiaoqiang beckoned Xiaolan to sit down, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Xiaolan, I'm going to talk to Professor Watson about things later, I may not be free." ”

Xiaolan sighed: "It's okay, I'll entertain you tomorrow night." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't expect Xiaolan to be so persevering, he always felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help asking, "Xiaolan, do you have anything else to do with me?"

Xiaolan nodded a little embarrassed: "Well, it's indeed a little something, if everything goes well, I'm going abroad in July, my dad thinks your English level is quite high, and suggests that I find more opportunities to chat with you in English, so I don't have to be able to communicate with people in the United States, I think so too, so I came." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang realized that the father and daughter of the emotional family regarded themselves as English sparring partners. It's hard for him to refuse this kind of thing, and after thinking about it, he said, "I'm going to be busy with it these days—"
