My Age of Investment
20. Picking up the old bottom of the school
During dinner in the evening, the puppy didn't call Cui Zhiren from Kimchi Country, and the two of them didn't really deal with it.
It had been a few days since Cui Zhiren moved in, but he had always been deeply hostile to the dog. Apart from taking care of Xia Jingxing, he didn't even want to talk to the dog.
The puppy is also too lazy to put his hot face on his cold butt, and ignore each other, like passers-by.
Xia Jingxing was too lazy to resolve conflicts, wouldn't it be better to be quiet in the dormitory?
Puppies don't have a good first impression of black and yellow girls.
The first impression of Kristina, the red girl, was okay. She never made fun of herself about watching movies in the dormitory, and she kept her mouth shut.
So, instead of inviting black girls and yellow girls to eat western food, he, the "payer", went to eat the barbecue in the cafeteria of the next dormitory.
Too many students!
Long queues for a BBQ.
"Agou, how do you want me to say hello?"
When Xia Jingxing saw the scene in front of him, he complained, "I told you to come to line up early, you'd be better off, you'll be slow.
Alright now, queue up to kill you.
It doesn't matter if we two big men stand for a long time, we are afraid that the three beauties will be tired from standing. "
As Xia Jingxing spoke, he glanced at the three girls in the opposite dormitory.
"It's okay, don't blame the puppy, wait in line for a while, and you can't stand dead."
The empathetic black girl Elizabeth couldn't stand it any longer and spoke out to help the puppy.
Yellow girl Emily and red girl Kristina also stood up to help the puppy.
"Okay, thank you for the magnanimity of the three beauties, and I don't care about you."
As Xia Jingxing spoke, he turned his back and winked at the dog.
The puppy understands and keeps bowing to thank him.
Kristina found a few stools and invited everyone to sit down and wait while chatting.
Xia Jingxing, the shameless one, also came over, and while eating the snacks that the girls brought, he joked with the three girls, making the girls giggle.
The puppy lined up alone, looking enviously at Xia Jingxing surrounded by flowers.
Xia Jingxing, who was talking, noticed a group of people out of the corner of his eye.
A few Asian-looking boys surrounded a girl with fluttering hair, and walked into the barbecue restaurant talking and laughing.
is her.
Shen Xinyi noticed that someone was looking at her, and turned her head to see a boy with an inch head staring at her with complicated eyes.
Huang Niu Emily was very curious about what attracted Xia Jingxing's eyes, and did not even help to measure her own majesty.
Following Xia Jingxing's line of sight, she saw the Chinese girl at a glance, pointed curiously with her hand and asked, "Dailun, is that Chinese girl your friend?"
"You don't mean it."
Xia Jingxing quickly broke Emily's hand off.
But it's too late.
Shen Xinyi saw the big boogie girl beside the inch-headed youth pointing her finger at her, as if she was still commenting on herself.
This made her subconsciously disgusted, she frowned, and turned her head to the other side.
"Favorite, what's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"
A man with glasses beside Shen Xinyi caught the goddess's micro-expression and asked with concern.
"nothing."
Shen Xinyi's voice was rather cold, but the man with glasses didn't mind.
The man with glasses actually knew everything well, he glanced at Xia Jingxing, who was surrounded by three foreign girls, two white and one black, and whispered, "I didn't believe it when I heard it before, but I saw it today. Corrupted, corrupted.
Especially the students in our country, the high school management is too strict, and once they go abroad, the nature of the playboy is fully exposed...
It's all the hard-earned money of the parents, but they are squandered by them.
At this age when one should struggle the most, he chooses to have fun..."
Shen Xinyi didn't answer, and Lu Wenlong was boring.
He closed his mouth angrily.
…………
…………
the next day.
sunny.
More than 1,700 Stanford freshmen sat neatly on rows of plastic stools outside the Memorial Church for the freshman entrance ceremony.
The 49-year-old tenth president of Stanford University, John Hennessy, wore a bright red president's uniform and gave a speech to the applause and cheers.
The crowd was crowded, and Xia Jingxing was also one of them.
He looked at the half-bald little old man on the stage with a lot of emotion.
This little old man is not simple. He is a computer scientist and won the Turing Award in 2017.
The Turing Award is also known as the Nobel in the computer industry. Among the Chinese, only Yao Qizhi has won it until 2020, and the gold content is very high.
"First-year freshmen and transfer students, it is my great honor to welcome each of you to Stanford University.
Your minds, hearts, and stories inspire us...
Whether you're the first in your family to go to college or come from an elite family.
whether you are American or from anywhere else;
No matter what kind of economic class your family is, what kind of economic base it has;
Whether you are steadfast in an identity, a group, a belief, a talent, an activity, a political party, a philosophy of life, or anything else that matters...
Something you love, or you are still in a period of confusion.
I want you to understand this: you belong here..."
Xia Jingxing had heard Principal John's speech once in his last life.
The main idea is to encourage freshmen to seize the various opportunities provided by Stanford, make their own contributions to the progress of the world, and stay true to their original aspirations and forge ahead in a complex world.
And gave the freshmen three expectations:
Be curious and open-minded, and be sensitive to opportunities;
Enthusiastic about public welfare, devote to the world;
Explore yourself, be true to yourself, be reliable, and be your best self.
Xia Jingxing looked at the excited puppy and asked with a smile, "Is it very American? It is very national."
The dog nodded fiercely. He felt that this speech was really good, much more novel and easy to accept than the ones he had heard in China.
Xia Jingxing did not speak.
As far as the matter is concerned, Americans still have a very good way of packaging.
Principal John finished his speech without saying a word about America.
However, nearly 30% of the international students present believed that they would have a slight favorable impression of this school and the tolerance and openness of this country.
Many people in China go abroad, and they are so fascinated by it that they easily believe that the air in the United States is sweet.
In fact, there are many problems behind the brilliance.
If you really immigrate and live for a long time, then the problem will come.
Walking on the road, the old white lady spat on her face with old phlegm;
If you open a shop and get robbed by Da Lao Hei, you will be admitted to the ICU.
Work hard and make progress, but you can't get promoted, there is a ceiling blocking it.
She also suffers from all kinds of discrimination in her life, and she has never been able to integrate into the mainstream society dominated by white people.
sad! Sigh! Pitiful! hateful!
After the principal finished speaking, another old student representative came up to speak.
Lao Sheng is a disabled person with speech impairment.
In her speech, she reviewed her study experience and encouraged freshmen to abandon their worries, integrate into the friendly and equal atmosphere of Stanford University, and pursue their dreams in life.
Come on, another rainbow fart!
After the entrance ceremony of the new students, they left in groups of three or five.
Xia Jingxing and the dog also patted their butts and left, and went to visit the Cantor Visual Arts Center.
The Cantor Art Center was built in 1891. At first, it only exhibited the collections of the Stanford family, but now there are 38,000 collections, including the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and other regions, with a time span of 5,000 years.
There is a China Pavilion in the Art Center. The glass showcases are filled with bow and crossbow parts from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, pottery from the Han Dynasty, Tang Sancai, Song Jianzhan, Ming blue and white, Qing pastel...
Bronze, porcelain, jade, Taoist statues, Buddhist woodcarvings…
Xia Jingxing dared to guarantee that these cultural relics came from an incorrect source.
Although most of it says it is donated, how did the donor get it?
Either the descendants of the robbers inherit the stolen goods and donate them to Stanford;
Either it was resold layer by layer until a buyer took it and gave it to Stanford.
Anyway, it is a treasure that has flowed out of China during the vicissitudes of a century, no doubt!
After leaving the art center, the dog suggested to visit the landmark Hoover Tower.
Hoover was the 31st commander of the United States. He was an orphan at the age of 9, and was admitted to Stanford at the age of 17. After graduation, as an American white-collar worker, he also worked for three years in the Kailuan Coal Mine in Hebei Province, China, before the Qing Dynasty died. , the emperor is also called Guangxu.
It is said that he speaks Chinese eloquently, and is the best Chinese among the previous American commanders. He also took a Chinese name called "Hu Hua".
After stealing the Kaiping Coal Mine in China through sublime means, Hoover earned the first pot of gold in his life and laid the foundation for his future political career.
Xia Jingxing was very clear about these black histories, and the Hoover Tower often came to him in his previous life.
At 87 meters high, the Hoover Tower is the tallest building on the entire campus.
There is an elevator to the top floor, and on the observation deck, you can have a panoramic view of Stanford University, one of the three most beautiful campuses in the United States.
Hoover, who was mediocre during the Great Depression, was eventually replaced by Roosevelt and was not well known among the great leaders of the United States.
But Stanford still offered it up. After all, in a century of history, there has been such a great leader, and he is still the first graduate of Stanford.
Stanford does not produce big leaders, but it is rich in technology rich, and the number can rank second in the United States.
The first is Harbin Buddhist Academy, the number of leaders and the number of rich people are the first! A veritable first high school.
After arriving at the place, Xia Jingxing and Little Dog found that there was a huge crowd, all of them parents and students.
Can't be bothered!
Popular Internet celebrity check-in place!
So, the two had no choice but to go home and come back another day.
PS: Today is the official one-year anniversary of writing the book, and the contract for the new book has been sent out on this day worth celebrating.
Friends who haven't invested yet, hurry up and make a profit.
The new book is a bit slow, and I will spend more time on details and characters.
Because the new book period needs to be exposed, so please understand that 2 chapters a day are not enjoyable, and it will explode when it is on the shelves.
Finally, ask for a wave of recommended tickets and collections!
Thank you all and happy first anniversary! Thank you new and old book friends for your encouragement, companionship and support!
