Niu Xiaoqiang has already borrowed $20,000 from Watson, and he is embarrassed to borrow it from someone else. He smiled and shook his head: "I can afford to wait for a week, so I won't ask you to borrow money." ”

Watson nodded and asked, "Do you need to take a two-day break before coming back to class?"

Watson is not only Niu Xiaoqiang's mentor, but also the deputy dean of the School of Computer Science, and it is definitely easy to take special care of Niu Xiaoqiang.

Niu Xiaoqiang just had some things to deal with, and when he heard this, he nodded slightly: "I still have a little personal matter to deal with, so it's good to rest for two days." ”

Watson snorted: "Today, you first familiarize yourself with the situation in the school, and you can not use it for classes in the next two days, and I will give you leave." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang thanked him and followed Watson to the classroom of Class 83 of the School of Computer Science.

Douglas and the others were in the classroom, and when they saw Watson walking in with Niu Xiaoqiang, he immediately smiled and whispered to a few classmates sitting near him: "Niu Xiaoqiang has passed the assessment, you guys hurry up and give money." ”

The seven students who lost the bet all looked frustrated, pulled out the money and handed it to Douglas.

In the classroom was a young male teacher about forty years old, and when he saw Watson and Niu Xiaoqiang coming in together, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Vice Dean, this is Niu Xiaoqiang, right?"

Watson nodded slightly: "Michael, Niu Xiaoqiang has just gone through the admission formalities class, I want him to familiarize himself with the classroom environment here, as for the future, I will teach him personally, you don't need to ask him about his learning." ”

Michael had already learned about Niu Xiaoqiang's situation from Watson's mouth, and he knew that Watson admired this student from the Eastern Country very much, and he was his leader, so he did not show the slightest dissatisfaction.

I only heard him hum: "I understand, classmate Niu Xiaoqiang, you should say hello to your classmates first." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang first shook hands with Michael very politely, and only after the salute did he turn to face the students in the classroom: "Hello everyone, my name is Niu Xiaoqiang, I am from China, and I hope to live in harmony with you in the future and spend a good time at MIT together." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and the smile on his face seemed very sincere, but even so, some students in the classroom were expressionless and did not look so welcoming to him.

Watson knows these students very well, and the people who can be admitted to MIT are extraordinary in themselves, much better than their peers, and everyone is inevitably a little arrogant in their hearts. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some people are discriminating against Niu Xiaoqiang.

He can accept the arrogance of his students, but he will never accept discrimination. In order to protect Niu Xiaoqiang, Watson walked to the podium with a sinking face and said seriously: "If someone is not very convinced of Niu Xiaoqiang's strength, they can compete in grades, I will never allow anyone to discriminate against him because of ridiculous racial concepts, otherwise once I find out, I will definitely fire him!"

Everyone was shocked by Watson's statement, and looked at Niu Xiaoqiang dumbfounded.

As the associate dean of the School of Computer Science, Watson would most likely respect a student's opinion if he insisted on expelling him. This is the most severe punishment for a student.

"Don't think I'm joking with everyone, if anyone doesn't believe me, I can prove it to him!"

Michael on the side couldn't help but smile bitterly: I haven't seen the vice dean speak to the students so harshly for many years, he definitely takes good care of Niu Xiaoqiang, this is the first day of school, so he will help Niu Xiaoqiang stand on the platform.

After warning the students, Watson patted Niu Xiaoqiang on the shoulder with a smile: "I'll apply for that program, if you have anything, you can go directly to the office to find me." ”

None of the others understood what that project was, but Niu Xiaoqiang knew it clearly. He smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your care, I will go to you if you have any questions." ”

When Watson left, Michael smiled and ordered, "Niu Xiaoqiang, you can find a seat by yourself." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang had already noticed a corner of the classroom, where there were three young people with oriental faces, their expressions were a little restrained, and they didn't seem to dare to express their opinions. Only when Niu Xiaoqiang greeted everyone, they showed a happy smile and warmly applauded to welcome Niu Xiaoqiang's arrival.

Niu Xiaoqiang affirmed that the three of them must be his compatriots, unlike the other oriental faces in the classroom, the attitude of those people was not too friendly, and they looked down on themselves.

Listening to Michael's instructions, Niu Xiaoqiang walked to this corner without hesitation and sat next to the three of them.

One of the three of them smiled first: "Hello genius, I am Chen Dongfang from Tsinghua University, Xu Bin from Tsinghua University here, and Fan Hongsheng from Peking University, I am very happy to see a new compatriot join me at MIT." ”

Chen Dongfang seems to be the leader of a small group of three, and his personality is also the most extroverted. Through his introduction, Niu Xiaoqiang easily integrated into this small group.

The three of them may be a little shy in the face of other classmates, but Niu Xiaoqiang is their compatriot, and the three of them are not at all restrained in front of Niu Xiaoqiang, and they seem very easy-going.

Since it was still class time, the four of them simply said hello and shut their mouths.

After about ten minutes, Mr. Michael announced the end of class, and Niu Xiaoqiang spoke to the three of them.

Through some exchanges, Niu Xiaoqiang learned that all three of them were publicly-funded international students, and Chen Dongfang, who had the best grades, also won a scholarship. As for Xu Bin and Fan Hongsheng, their first scholarship application was not approved, and in order to solve the problem of clothing and eating, both worked odd jobs outside to earn money.

The three of them had already heard the previous discussions of Douglas and others, and knew that Niu Xiaoqiang was specially recruited by relying on the genius clause. The three of them admired Niu Xiaoqiang very much and were very envious.

Chen Dongfang sighed: "Vice Dean Watson is really good to you, he actually defended you in front of the whole class, as far as I know, this is the first time he has done this kind of thing, genius is genius, much stronger than us." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled modestly: "Don't say that, I have the same interests as Professor Watson, that's why he takes care of me so much." ”

Xu Bin shook his head: "There are more like-minded people in the world, if you don't have excellent strength, why does Professor Watson value you so much?"

Fan Hongsheng nodded in agreement, Niu Xiaoqiang didn't want to say anything, so as not to make people think that he was hypocritical.
