Zhang Guangmao deliberately made a straight face: "Xiaoqiang has already talked to Professor Watson on the phone, can this be fake? You, you, you should also take care of your temperament, you have a father to take care of you in Qingjiang, everyone will give you a little face, if you go abroad and it is still like this, it will definitely not work, and it will be a trivial matter to suffer losses at that time, if something happens, who can help you?"

Xiaolan is in a rebellious period, and she usually speaks thorny words to everyone, but she is not stupid, she knows that her father is right, so she nodded rarely: "Well, I know, I will pay attention to it in the future, that ...... Can I really study abroad?"

Zhang Guangmao looked at Niu Xiaoqiang with a flattering smile: "Whether it can be achieved or not, I can only look at Xiaoqiang, I estimate that the problem should not be big, if you are not sure, Xiaoqiang can't be so calm, right, Xiaoqiang?"

Niu Xiaoqiang does have some confidence, and his confidence comes from Watson's attitude towards him. In order to lure him to study abroad, Watson actually took out $40,000 as bait, which shows that Watson treats him very seriously. It can be seen from the phone call just now that Watson's attitude towards him has not changed, so it seems that it should not be too difficult for Niu Xiaoqiang to beg him to do something.

"Uncle Zhang, before the matter is implemented, I can only say that I will do my best, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will exert 100% of my strength to ensure that I will not drop the chain. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang's attitude made Xiaolan very satisfied, although she didn't like to see Niu Xiaoqiang introduce her father to someone, but she paid more attention to her study abroad, and after weighing the two, Xiaolan actually nodded at Niu Xiaoqiang and said thank you.

Niu Xiaoqiang saw that Xiaolan's attitude towards him had changed, and he was secretly relieved, he smiled and asked, "Don't thank me first, before Professor Watson comes, I want to ask you a few questions first, so as to help you staff officers." ”

Xiaolan snorted: "You ask." ”

"The first thing I want to ask is how good is your English, especially your speaking ability, can you communicate with foreigners normally?"

Before Xiaolan could answer, Zhang Guangmao took the first step to speak: "Xiaolan's English score is very good, she ranks first in the whole school in every exam, and the last time she participated in the English corner exchange activity held by the Municipal Youth Palace, she won the first prize, I estimate that it shouldn't be a problem to communicate with foreigners, right, Xiaolan?"

"Well, although I am still in my second year of high school, I am already memorizing English words in college, I know a lot of rare words, and my speaking skills are okay. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang relaxed slightly, and then asked, "Except for English, how are your grades in other subjects?"

This time, it was still Zhang Guangmao who replied: "Xiaolan likes to do manual work the most, and she is particularly interested in electronic equipment, our radio has been disassembled and installed by her many times, and she repairs it when it breaks, and it can still be used normally!"

Niu Xiaoqiang was quite surprised to hear this, electronic devices are closely related to physics, generally speaking, girls are more good at liberal arts, not very interested in science and engineering, this is determined by women's nature, and the vast majority of women are like this. I didn't expect Xiaolan to like to tinker with electronic devices and repair radios, which is really surprising.

Xiaolan seemed to see Niu Xiaoqiang's doubts, she explained very calmly: "My mother passed away when I was very young, my dad was busy with work, he rarely had time to take care of me, I was idle and bored when I was having fun, at that time the family happened to buy a radio, I was very curious about the sound that the radio can make, so I secretly pondered, and over time I developed a strong interest in this area, not only radio, TV I am also very familiar with, I can fix the general problems myself." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang realized that the interest of emotional people was forced, and if Zhang Guangmao had time to take care of her before, she would probably not be interested in electronic devices.

Zhang Guangmao's face showed a look of helplessness, and he sighed: "Back then, I had to take care of the food and drink of a large family by myself, and it was not okay not to work hard, if there was that condition, who wouldn't want to spend more time with their children?"

Niu Xiaoqiang comforted: "Uncle Zhang, I can understand your hardship, the first thing people think about living in the world is survival, if even survival is a problem, everything else is nothing." ”

These words were actually said to Xiaolan, and of course Xiaolan understood this truth. It's just because of her rebellion that she always likes to drill the horns, as long as she communicates well with her on a specific occasion and atmosphere, she will change her usual attitude.

The current occasion and atmosphere are not bad, Xiaolan did not lose her temper, but sighed quietly. Although she didn't say anything, the change in attitude could be seen by anyone.

Zhang Guangmao glanced at Niu Xiaoqiang with grateful eyes, Niu Xiaoqiang was just a very sensible and good boy in his eyes, but now it is different, he has treated Niu Xiaoqiang as a person who can be a friend.

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled at Zhang Guangmao, and then asked the third question: "Xiaolan, I don't know how high your expectations are for studying abroad, or what kind of school do you want to go to?"

Xiaolan has thought about it many times, and according to her thoughts, it is natural that she will go there to study in whichever school is good. But she was worried that her level was not enough, and she didn't know the specific situation of foreign universities, so until now, she didn't have a clear goal.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiaolan asked rhetorically, "I haven't thought about this yet, which school do you think is suitable for me to go to?"

Niu Xiaoqiang sighed: "I don't know much about your grades, it's not easy to judge, why don't you tell me first?"

Xiaolan nodded and said her academic performance very objectively. She didn't hide anything, she didn't exalt herself, she was what she was supposed to be.

According to Xiaolan's account, Niu Xiaoqiang learned that her grades could be ranked in the top ten in the school. Xiaolan attends Provincial No. 1 Middle School, which is in the same school as Ashima, but is one grade higher than Ashima. She can be among the best in this kind of school, and her grades are already quite good, but Niu Xiaoqiang doesn't know what the overall level of international students is, so it's not easy to draw conclusions.

After thinking about it, he spoke: "Xiaolan, do you think you can be admitted to Tsinghua University with your grades?"

Xiaolan tilted her head and thought for a while, then shook her head: "Our teacher said that the top five in the grade must be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, and the latter ones are not easy to say, it depends on the level of candidates from other schools. ”
