Chapter 3 The Ethos of the Turn of the Century

Cao Yongluo heard the subtext of the other party, and he explained: "In fact, the main purpose of going to Lanrun is to eat an environment.

The bars are too noisy. Zhou Xin is just recovering from a serious illness. It is not good to go to places that are too noisy.

Tianwaitian Roast Duck is a bit greasy.

Furthermore, if I were to choose from the taste, Lanrun is actually very average.

Not to mention Tianwaitian, it can't even compare to Guo Lin's home cooking.

As soon as you go, you will know that the main focus of Lanrun is an environment. "

Guo Lin's home-cooked food is a small restaurant on the Fourth Ring Road, and it is also the place where the three of them usually hold teeth.

Cao Yongluo knew the details of the other three roommates very well. As an orphan, Zhou Xin was able to go to Yanda University, and he was the first in his class no matter what exams he took, which made him very admired.

On the way to the Lanrun Hotel for dinner this time, Cao Yongluo had a new understanding of Zhou Xin.

Judging from the other party's family environment and growth background, it is obviously impossible to have been to such a place.

But Zhou Xin was very calm, and Cao Yongluo could even read a kind of disdain from the other party's expression: That's it?

"Actually, inviting everyone to Lanrun for dinner is not only to celebrate Zhou Xin's recovery from the hospital, but also to tell you something.

That is, I have applied for the qualification to go to the University of California for exchange study. I estimate that I will prepare for the exchange program in the first half of the year, and then I will go there directly in the next semester. "

Li Li asked, "How long?"

"About five months, that is, one semester. We have to be separated from everyone for half a year.

So I invite you all to have a meal together. "

Wang Wei and Li Li felt sore in an instant.

In this era, due to the reality of the environment, everyone wants to go abroad.

Everyone doesn't know what Run is, but they just want to go abroad and add a filter to everything abroad to automatically beautify it.

The main reason is that the living conditions of Western countries headed by American are too superior. In contrast, washing dishes abroad can get a maximum salary.

"Brother Cao is amazing.

I heard that it is quite difficult to apply for this program at the International Exchange Department.

Brother Cao got it done without saying a word.

I didn't hear any wind before. "

"Actually, it's good luck, it just meets the requirements of American."

Zhou Xin didn't express his opinion, but kept his head buried in the food.

Until Cao Yongluo clicked on him: "It is definitely possible for you to study abroad in the future.

Like Zhou Xin, who takes the No.1 exam every time, he can apply for the national scholarship program to study abroad. "

Zhou Xin picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth: "Yong Luo, which branch of the University of California did you go to?

Los Angeles or Berkeley? "

Cao Yongluo also learned that the University of California is an educational system, which is equivalent to the concept of a university in the BJ area.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xin knew it too.

He added: "University of Santa Barbara."

"Oh, Santa Barbara is very good, surrounded by the sea, the scenery is very beautiful.

And the sun is very comfortable, and it seems to be quite strong in the field of microelectronics. "

Zhou Xin has spent five years in Berkeley, so he is no stranger to Santa Barbara, which is also part of the University of California system.

Zhou Xin didn't say this just to save Cao Yongluo's face. Santa Barbara is second only to Berkeley and UCLA in the University of California system.

Especially strong in the field of engineering.

Now, as long as the returnees come back, they can be treated differently, which is completely different from the endless debate among netizens on major social media about which places are Shuishuo more than 20 years later.

Cao Yongluo asked curiously: "Have you also applied for the California exchange program?"

In his opinion, it is possible to have such an understanding of the University of California system only if he also has ideas about this project.

But thinking about it, it's unlikely, because the exchange student program is very expensive, even considering the conditions of his family, let alone Zhou Xin.

"No, but I also plan to apply to schools in the University of California system, so I have done some research." Zhou Xin explained.

Wang Wei was surprised and said, "You plan to go out too?
We are still more than two years away from our senior year graduation, have we started preparing so early? "

Li Li, who has been silent all the time, said: "If you want to go to California, no matter how early you prepare, it's not too early.

Especially for Zhou Xin, he can only go to the scholarship program, and it is difficult to apply.

The competitors to face are not only those of China, but also those of the world.

It is easier to go out with the money from the China Scholarship Council, but it is difficult to go to California. "

Cao Yongluo added: "Yes.

I went to the Overseas Training Department to ask. Since 96, there have been very few national scholarship applicants to the University of California system. "

The China Scholarship Council was established in 1996. In the first few years of its establishment, it sponsored an average of 3000 people to go abroad at public expense each year.

Among them, the proportion of various types of overseas students is about 20% for senior visiting scholars, 67% for visiting scholars/training personnel, and 13% for graduate students and others.

Cao Yongluo continued: "If you really want to go out, I suggest you consider going to Germany.

A key laboratory project jointly funded by CSC and DAAD, this project is mainly for engineering, and it is a new project with relatively low difficulty in application.

And now that you are a sophomore, it is completely in time to start learning German.

Based on your previous grades, as long as you can pass the language test, the probability of passing this program is over 90.00%. "

Because during the process of applying to the University of California system, Cao Yongluo deliberately collected information, including his family who also helped find someone to ask.

If he did not apply for an exchange student at UC Santa Barbara, he would consider learning German and then apply for the CSC-DAAD joint funding key laboratory project.

CSC is the abbreviation of China Scholarship Council, and DAAD is the abbreviation of German Academic Exchange Center.

Now that he has applied for a better place and does not plan to go to Germany in the future, Cao Yongluo shared this news.

Zhou Xin shook his head and said, "No, I've already contacted my supervisor, and I'm waiting for the interview. If everything goes well after the interview, I'll transfer there directly to go to university."

Zhou Xin's words directly made the three people present doubt life.

Cao Yongluo was slightly better, he always felt that Zhou Xin was very human.

Wang Wei and Li Li are jealous and look down on Zhou Xin, who can only study. They always think that the other party's ability to take the first place in the exam is due to hard work rather than talent.

In fact, there are many people who work hard at Yanda University.

Based on their understanding of Zhou Xin, the other party is absolutely sure about this matter, so they will tell them.

The meal confused Wang Wei and Li Li, and two of the four in the dormitory had to leave.
