One minute, two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes......

As time passed, Xiaolan's expression also changed again and again.

At first, she looked very serious and full of confidence. Later, he slowly frowned, looking meditative. At last she was visibly uneasy, with a look of chagrin, sullenness and anxiety on her face.

Watson has been chatting with Niu Xiaoqiang all the time, and he wants to further shorten the distance between him and Niu Xiaoqiang in this way.

Niu Xiaoqiang chatted with him while paying attention to Xiaolan's situation, seeing Xiaolan in an embarrassing situation, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: Okay now, how can I talk to Watson later, Xiaolan is really, the questions and answers are in front of you, you still can't understand, why are your math scores so bad?

Watson saw that Niu Xiaoqiang was a little absent-minded, and quickly realized what was going on. During his visit to China, he met many people who asked him for help, both officials and wealthy people, with a very common purpose: to let Watson introduce their children to study abroad.

At the beginning, Watson didn't refuse in person because of his feelings, and even felt that since the other party dared to talk to him, it meant that their children should be very good.

The results of the assessment almost didn't piss Watson to death, and the children of these people were all rice buckets, and the best grades were far from what he expected. Now Watson has no good temper, he sternly refused everyone's request for help, even if the other party promised great benefits, Watson did not mince words.

As a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, his annual salary is very high, and he often does some private work for some computer companies, and his annual income is at least three or four hundred thousand dollars, and his highest income is even more than one million dollars.

Watson had long been a millionaire, and money didn't have much of an appeal to him. Coupled with his status as a professor, his social status is also very high, and he simply dismisses the benefits provided by those people.

Later, when he came to Qingjiang, Director Chen said that he wanted to take him to make a few friends, and Watson knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, so he immediately refused, saying that he didn't want to see anyone unplanned, which made Director Chen very embarrassed. If Niu Xiaoqiang hadn't happened to hear the content of Zhang Guangmao's call, I'm afraid that he and Watson wouldn't have met so soon.

As soon as Watson saw Niu Xiaoqiang's expression, he knew that this kid probably wanted to help that Xiaolan study abroad, in fact, he had long been suspicious of Xiaolan's appearance at the banquet.

It stands to reason that the people who attend this kind of occasion are people of great status, and there should not be a girl like Xiaolan, and now that it has appeared, if Watson can't understand it, then he will be too stupid.

He patted Niu Xiaoqiang's shoulder with a smile: "Boy, is the reason why you met me with a not very simple purpose?"

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't understand for a while, and said confusedly: "What is not a pure purpose?"

Watson said at little Lannunu, "She's supposed to be a schoolgirl, right? Let me guess, are you trying to help her study abroad through my connections?"

Niu Xiaoqiang's expression was a little embarrassed: "I deserve to be a professor at a well-known university, I am really amazing, my careful thinking has been seen through by you, but what you said is not entirely correct, I don't just want to ask for your help to meet you, in addition to asking for your help, I also want to study abroad." ”

Watson smiled and nodded, "That's good, if you really just want to ask me for help, I'll be disappointed." ”

He said with a straight face: "I'm a more principled person, if this female student meets my requirements, I don't care if I help her in your face, but you can also see that she is not the material at all, so I can only regret to tell you that I will not help with this favor." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled bitterly: "Professor, do you Americans speak so directly? Don't you take care of other people's face?"

Watson shook his head: "Americans don't understand socializing, we just don't like to go around in circles like Chinese, in the eyes of Americans, face is fought for by themselves, not by others, you have that strength, I admire you and respect you, you don't have that strength, then you can only stand aside." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang doesn't want to discuss the cultural differences between the two countries with Watson now, and Xiaolan's study abroad is the current focus. He thought about the wording for a while, and then spoke: "Professor, Xiaolan doesn't have to go to MIT, other universities are okay, her math score is still far from your requirements, but it may meet the admissions standards of other schools, didn't you say that you have a lot of network resources before? In this case, I sincerely ask you to seriously consider it." ”

Watson's face showed an embarrassed expression: "Xiaoqiang, I have to tell you about a situation. ”

"What's the situation?"

"It's about international students, at the moment students from China are very sought-after, this is because Chinese students are very high-quality, not only very smart, but also very hard-working, but they also have a very significant shortcoming, that is, the thinking is a little rigid, of course, because they are very smart, so most of them can quickly make up for their shortcomings, but this is only for very smart students, for those mediocre students it is too difficult, I mean can you understand?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "I can understand, do you say that you are only optimistic about those particularly top-notch Chinese students, and not very optimistic about ordinary Chinese students?"

Watson nodded: "Yes, according to my estimate, it may be difficult for ordinary Chinese students to adapt to the environment in the United States, if they are smart, they can still get the respect of others, if they are mediocre, they may suffer serious discrimination." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't understand the situation in the United States, so he couldn't help asking: "Are Americans very xenophobic?"

Watson sighed helplessly: "The United States itself is an immigration country, not very xenophobic, but it attaches great importance to race, at present, the main British class in the United States are all white people like me, and other races are basically in the lower strata of society, except for white people, other races will be discriminated against." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang saw Watson's solemn expression and knew that the real situation was much more serious than he said, and he asked: "Are the Chinese having a hard time in the United States?"

"Well, although it is a pity, I still have to tell you that only a very small elite among the Chinese will be respected, and the discrimination against other Chinese in the United States should be ranked second-to-last, only a little better than blacks." ”
