As if worried that it would affect Niu Xiaoqiang's attitude towards studying abroad, Watson hurriedly added: "But you are different, people like you will live well no matter where they are, as for Xiaolan, I am not very optimistic about her." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang sighed, "You mean that you can help Xiaolan study abroad, but you don't dare to guarantee that she will have a good life, is that right?"

Watson nodded, "That's what happened. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang weighed it for a moment, and then spoke: "Otherwise, I'll tell Xiaolan about the situation you told me, if she insists on going, please help her, okay?"

This is indeed a trivial matter for Watson, for the sake of Niu Xiaoqiang's face, he did not shirk again: "Yes." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang immediately turned his head and explained to Xiaolan, and finally asked: "Xiaolan, the specific situation is like this, what is your attitude towards studying abroad now?"

Xiaolan originally thought that if she behaved so poorly, not only might she not be able to go to MIT, but even going abroad would be a problem. Hearing that Watson was willing to help, her face showed a look of surprise and determination: "I'm not afraid to accept a challenge, just give me a chance." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang hummed and explained to Watson. Watson smiled slightly: "In that case, I'll help with this, in order to find a suitable school for her, I want to know her personal situation first, can you tell me more about it?"

Niu Xiaoqiang immediately spoke: "Xiaolan's academic performance is actually very good, she is only a little bit away from being admitted to the top universities in China, and her English scores are very good, and her oral skills are also passable, in addition, she also likes to study electronic devices, such as radios or televisions, and she is quite accomplished in this area, and can be qualified for the job of a maintenance engineer——"

Watson heard the content of the first half without waves, and when he heard Niu Xiaoqiang say that Xiaolan would repair electronic equipment, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and interrupted: "Are you sure she will repair electronic equipment?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "I don't dare to guarantee anything else, there is absolutely no problem in repairing radios and TVs." ”

Watson has never looked at Xiaolan with his eyes, and he only has Niu Xiaoqiang in his eyes. After receiving a definite answer, Watson finally looked at Xiaolan with a formal attitude: " I told you before, the biggest shortcoming of Chinese students is that their thinking is more rigid, the second shortcoming I didn't say, now I can tell you, that is, the hands-on ability is very poor, they are very good at answering written questions, some are even better than professors, but when it comes to hands-on ability, they may not even be able to compare with American primary school students, if Xiaolan really has the level of an electrical repairman, I don't mind helping her find a better university, of course, this requires on-site assessment, after all, I am helping to find a relationship, I am responsible for the other party。 ”

Niu Xiaoqiang immediately nodded and told Zhang Guangmao and Xiaolan about the situation. Zhang Guangmao very simply called the service staff in, and ordered with a face: "Hurry up and bring a radio from the guest house, if you don't have a radio, the tape recorder will be fine! By the way, go and prepare a complete set of tools for repairing the tape recorder, the speed must be fast, understand?"

When the service staff saw that the factory director was so eager, they hurriedly nodded and agreed, turned around and ran out.

Zhang Guangmao said to Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, this is the last chance, you must behave well, don't drop the chain." ”

Xiaolan looked nervous and hummed: "I will do my best." ”

The meal had already been served, but because Watson was busy talking to Niu Xiaoqiang, he didn't move his chopsticks. Since he didn't eat, the others naturally didn't have a good time moving.

At this moment, it is even more impossible for everyone to eat and drink when they see that they have to be assessed on the spot. Director Chen suggested empathetically: "Lao Zhang, there are no more things on the table, why don't we find another room for assessment." ”

Zhang Guangmao thought about it, hurriedly stood up, and took everyone to the conference room on the same floor. Less than ten minutes later, the director of the guest house personally ran in with a tape recorder and a toolbox.

Zhang Guangmao hurriedly handed the things to Xiaolan, and before Xiaolan could do anything, Watson took the tape recorder. He turned on the switch and found that the recorder was good, so he ordered: "You take this recorder apart, and as fast as you can, split it to the most scattered state you can." ”

Xiaolan roughly understood what Watson meant, she nodded, picked up the tools and got busy.

If Xiaolan's usual temper can be better, then she should belong to the kind of literary young woman with a graceful temperament, and she looks a little weak. At this moment, she was fully engaged, and her movements were very fast and crisp, which surprised everyone. If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to imagine that a girl who looks a little weak is so familiar with the construction of a cassette recorder.

Watson looked at it and nodded, looking satisfied. Although he is a professor in the computer department, there are many commonalities between computers and radio equipment, such as circuit boards and semiconductor parts, and some radio equipment even have chips, so he can still see the good and the bad.

It took Orchid ten minutes to break the tape recorder apart into a large pile of bits and pieces, and when she was finished, she stopped and motioned for Watson to check.

Watson didn't move, and commanded again: "Now please assemble it as quickly as possible, if it can be used normally after the assembly is completed, you will be considered to have passed the assessment." ”

Xiaolan's mood has relaxed a lot, this is what she is best at, and she is naturally full of confidence in it.

After Watson spoke, Xiaolan didn't say a word and immediately began to assemble. Assembling was a bit more difficult than dismantling, and it took her nearly twenty minutes to assemble.

Watson took the recorder in his hand and tried it, and found that the recorder could be used normally, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Well, your performance is very good, I am ready to recommend you to go to Boston University, the vice president of this university is my old classmate, there should be no problem." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang translated Watson's words. No one present had heard of the name of Boston University, Zhang Guangmao was very concerned about his daughter's affairs, and he couldn't help asking: "Xiaoqiang, can you help me ask about the specific situation of this Boton University?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded and asked, "Professor, can you tell me about Boston University?"

Watson smiled: "Of course you can, this university is not too far from MIT, it is in Massachusetts, USA, and it is also a world-class university, of course, Boston University is not as powerful as MIT, I think I can take care of her if I am close, so I considered recommending her to this university, of course, this is to see your face, but ...... With her performance, it's not enough to get a scholarship, and I won't help with tuition. ”
