Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 308 Special Yale Interviewer

"Carter, when you go to pick up the interviewer, remember to be serious, don't be too relaxed, too casual!"

"I see, don't worry!"

Today is February 2th, and tomorrow is the Yale application deadline.After arranging Goodman to be in charge of the acquisition of Droste Bank, Carter turned his attention to academic issues.

During the week, Carter met with many interviewers.Different from general interviews, American universities generally appoint nearby alumni to interview applicants, and ask you to meet and chat in a restaurant or coffee shop.

Because they are alumni, these people are also of all kinds.There are serious, unsmiling seniors and senior sisters, and there are also laughing, unscrupulous seniors who are not very formal.If you feel that you have no hope of entering the university, someone will tell you bluntly that you are not suitable for our school; some people will tell you in a bureaucratic way, wishing you good luck in the coming year.
Carter, the interviewer from New York University, Princeton University, and several other schools that he applied to, met with him, but the interviewer from Yale University, who is coming today, has a very special way of meeting: Yale made it clear on the phone that Carter needs Pick up someone at the Atlanta airport!

Hey!This is a bit magical!
These interviewers are usually alumni near the location appointed by the university to which the applicant is applying, and most of them are alumni who have graduated and participated in the work.Generally, they are people who are nearby, not too far apart.

For example, most of the interviewers Carter had met before worked and lived in Atlanta.During the break, he drove to Douglas by himself and made an appointment with Carter.Like the Yale interviewer, Carter needs to go to the airport to pick him up, which is really the number one!
After all, going to the place where the applicant has lived since childhood can also evaluate the applicant's image more comprehensively, including his popularity in the local area, etc.
Stuck on time, drove to the Atlanta airport.Beside the domestic arrival exit, Carter held up a signboard with "yale" written on it, and waited quietly for the arrival of the strange interviewer.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!"

"It's okay. You? Chinese?!"

Hearing a greeting in Chinese, Carter subconsciously answered "It's okay" in Chinese.A simple question and answer that was originally ordinary, but it almost didn't surprise Carter's jaw.

Turning his head hastily, Carter suddenly found that behind him, a middle-aged man with a cropped head was looking at him with a silly smile.Fangzheng had a pair of round brown glasses on his face, and his nose looked a bit big.A gray suit was put on the opponent, giving people a feeling of emptiness.

But that's not the point, the point is: black eyes!black hair!Yellow skin!
"That's right, my supervisor told me that your Chinese is very good and you are very interested in Chinese culture. It seems that you are right! I am Liu Baicheng, from MIT, and I am entrusted to interview you this time."

Just as Carter was extremely interested in him, Liu Baicheng was also curious about this American who could subconsciously answer questions in Chinese fluently.Actively stretching out his right hand, Carter quickly grabbed it.

"Hello, hello! I'm Carter Black. I really didn't expect that the interviewer sent by Yale was actually a Chinese. Mr. Liu, you are wrong. Are you a Yale graduate from MIT?"

In addition to his Chinese identity, there are so many flaws in the opponent's body that Carter can't even vomit for a while.Take the initiative to carry the other party's luggage, which is actually a small box
Carter asked while leading the other party out of the airport.It stands to reason that it is not unreasonable to graduate from Yale and then study or teach at MIT.

But the problem is, in this case, the other party's introduction should be "I am a graduate or alumnus of Yale XX, and I am currently working or studying at MIT." It is basically impossible for the other party to say "I am from MIT." ".That is to put the identity of Yale alumni at the top of self-introduction.

"No, I actually came here as a visiting scholar. When I first arrived in the United States, my companions and I strengthened our English at Georgetown University; three months later, I went to the University of Wisconsin. Until two months ago, I Then I transferred to the Department of Materials and Engineering at MIT to study."

After thanking him politely, Liu Baicheng walked behind Carter and introduced himself:

"I heard that Yale University is a liberal arts university, and I am a science and engineering major. I actually don't know what to pay attention to in the interview. Oh, by the way, the liberal arts I mentioned should be called social science or humanities for you. , can you understand?"

"Understand!"

Can this not be understood?When we took the college entrance examination, there were no subjects in arts and sciences!
After secretly complaining, Carter heard the key term "visiting scholar" in the other party's words!
"Mr. Liu, you just said that you are a visiting scholar? So you are not actually an American?"

"Yes, I am a pure Chinese, not a Chinese-American. In two months, I should return to my motherland! Don't be afraid of your jokes, our China now has a weak industrial foundation and a lack of advanced science and technology. I came to the United States to steal a teacher, and to steal a teacher is."

"I understand, I understand. Mr. Liu, you don't need to explain anything, my Chinese level. Well, it should be higher than you imagined!"

Good guy!
Carter exclaimed in his heart, good guy.Reversing the timeline in the other party's words, the visiting scholars who will return to China in two months are almost the first batch after the establishment of diplomatic relations.This historical significance is basically no less than the first batch of government-sent overseas students in the Qing Dynasty
And these people, if there is no accident, will basically be the masters and masters in various disciplines in the future!
Yale actually invited this person to interview for an undergraduate student, to be precise, a prospective undergraduate student? !
Carter didn't know whether he should cry or laugh for a while, Tai Temeow thinks highly of himself, right? !I'm flattered
As for the authenticity of the other party's background, Carter has no doubts.Yale University is very close to MIT, and it is also a member of the old Ivy League. It is quite normal to have communication with each other.What's the point of borrowing someone's help? !

But even visiting scholars like Mr. Liu have invited Yale to seem to take him seriously?Or do you doubt yourself?Just because I wrote China in my Yale application, did I directly invite a serious Chinese to find out?
"Hahaha, indeed. Your Chinese level is beyond my imagination. It has only been two years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between our two countries. It stands to reason that it is difficult for you to get in touch with the Chinese environment. It is convenient to ask you this. Where did you learn fluent Chinese?"

Sitting on the Mustang driven by Carter, Mr. Liu smiled very easy-going.

"Is this an interview question?"

While joking, start the vehicle.Regarding Chinese, Carter thought of an explanation:
"I have a Chinese friend, I will take you to meet him later. He is a chef, and he will definitely let you experience the authentic hometown flavor, definitely not a pirated product made of General Tso's chicken nuggets!"

"I know General Tso's chicken! I ate this dish in New York when I visited Columbia University during my vacation. But what are you talking about Colonel's Chicken Nuggets? Is it a special delicacy in your country?"
