Chapter 61 Mayor Shen finally made his move
"Prestigious schools in Beijing must give off a different vibe, right?"
Director Wu smiled and asked the three people about their study tour experiences and feelings.
"They are indeed quite different."
"The learning atmosphere at prestigious universities is extremely intense, and the competition is visibly fierce."
Thinking about what she had seen and heard at the top two universities in Beijing, Miss Shen nodded in her opinion.
When Ye Kai and his group arrived, it was a weekend.
However, the college students you see everywhere on campus are rarely seen playing or having fun. Most of them are carrying books and hurrying around, each with their own goals. Even if you see someone alone in a corner, they are probably reading there.
"I hope I can get into Tsinghua University."
Chen Xiaoyu had a look of longing on her face, clearly indicating that this study tour had further strengthened her goal of getting into Tsinghua University.
"Yes."
Ye Kai, sitting in the back seat, patted Little Fish on the shoulder upon hearing this, offering his blessings.
The reason why the Beijing University Alliance placed the study tour after the selection test has its own considerations.
During the few days that Ye Kai and his group visited and toured various prestigious universities in Beijing, relevant personnel from the Beijing University Alliance were summarizing and analyzing their answers, then categorizing them according to their respective preferences and recommending them to suitable target universities.
This work takes time to complete, so giving students a few days to relax before the final results are released allows them to gain a deeper understanding of their target universities, which will help facilitate mutual progress.
It's important to understand that due to a lack of understanding between students and universities, the dropout rate among outstanding students remains high in the first semester of each academic year.
Therefore, in order to ensure a stable student body, many universities now organize study tours for outstanding high school graduates or send people directly to high schools to explain their admission policies, in order to avoid this situation from occurring.
"A sixteen-year-old prospective Tsinghua University student would be considered a genius anywhere, right?"
"Unfortunately, I...sigh..."
Shen Jiayi glanced at Chen Xiaoyu with a hint of envy, and a thought suddenly welled up in her mind.
She originally came to this study abroad program with the intention of aiming for Peking University, but she did not expect to encounter a major social problem during the interview and fail. Naturally, she felt a sense of disappointment at not being able to achieve her goal.
"You don't need to worry too much."
"There are still opportunities; we'll see them if we keep working hard."
Ye Kai patted Shen Jiayi on the shoulder in the same way, comforting her in the same manner.
The policy of independent enrollment by universities is a catch-all phrase; as long as the universities are willing, they can put anything into it.
If Shen Jiayi is determined to get into Peking University, there is a lot of room for maneuver in this situation.
"It's not that easy, after all, it's Peking University."
Miss Shen shook her head, feeling no confidence whatsoever.
Anything is possible.
Ye Kai remembers clearly that when they submitted their application materials, Shen Jiayi was worried that her grades were not good enough, so she added her strengths in the arts to the application.
For top two universities in Beijing, selecting a student with artistic talent from among high-scoring students is far more reliable than choosing a student with relatively good scores from among art students.
If she's lucky enough, Shen Jiayi could actually be selected by Taipei Municipal University.
The premise is that Peking University must see Shen Jiayi's outstanding performance in the arts, and the action must be taken quickly.
Bored, Director Wu casually turned on the radio in the van.
Recently, well-known actress Che Xiao admitted to a peaceful separation from her wealthy husband Li Zhaohui, denying that the divorce was due to a third party, and stating that it was caused by incompatibility and numerous disagreements...
"Che Xiao comes from a family of performers; her mother is... and has appeared in films and television dramas..."
"Her ex-husband, Li Zhaohui, was once...the richest man in China...and held a large number of shares in China Minsheng Bank..."
The news is broadcasting the latest gossip about the entertainment industry.
The group fell silent, listening intently to the gossip.
"Which actress is Che Xiao? I don't seem to recognize her at all."
Chen Xiaoyu asked, looking completely bewildered.
"That actress who starred in 'If You Are the One' a few years ago, hey, the one with the slightly odd nose..."
Shen Jiayi leaned closer and described it to Chen Xiaoyu.
"what?"
Chen Xiaoyu still didn't understand what was going on.
After all, that movie featured a lot of actresses, each with their own unique characteristics. Who knows which one she was referring to?
"That one time a year."
Ye Kai, who was listening from behind, interrupted.
"Oh, I remember now."
Chen Xiaoyu finally realized.
……
Donglaishun Main Store.
The area was bustling with people, and the copper hot pot on the table was steaming hot.
The clear broth in the hot pot rippled gently under the licking of the charcoal fire, and wisps of steam, carrying the fresh aroma of mutton and the rich flavor of the broth, slowly filled the air, whetting everyone's appetite.
"The mutton can be served now."
Director Wu marked up the menu for a while, then spoke to the waiter.
"Please wait a moment, sir."
The waiter quietly took away the menu and soon brought out the lamb.
Plates of thinly sliced mutton, as thin as cicada wings, with a delicate pink color and clear texture, are neatly arranged on blue and white porcelain plates, resembling exquisite works of art.
"Jiajia, Xiaoyu, Xiaoye, shall we start eating?"
"This mutton doesn't need to be cooked for too long; it's ready to eat as soon as it changes color, and that's when it tastes the best."
Director Wu called on everyone to get started, and took the lead by picking up a slice of mutton and putting it into the pot. In just a few seconds, the tender mutton slice became slightly curled. He then lightly dipped it in the prepared sesame sauce, which evenly coated the mutton. A few strands of chive blossoms and the colors of red fermented bean curd added a touch of color, making it even more appetizing.
Several people took action and then praised it highly.
The mutton melts in your mouth, tender and juicy, with no gamey smell whatsoever, leaving only a mouthful of fresh aroma.
Ye Kai ate a few slices of mutton, then picked up a clove of pickled garlic and put it in his mouth. The crisp texture, along with the sweet and sour taste, instantly dispelled the slight greasiness of the mutton, leaving his mouth feeling refreshed.
"Director Wu, let me toast you."
Thank you for your hospitality.
Ye picked up his beer glass and thanked Director Wu.
Although they were trying to curry favor with Miss Shen, I also benefited from their favor and should express my respect.
"That's great!"
"Starting from the same point."
Director Wu laughed heartily and drank a glass with Ye Kai.
"Sister Jiajia."
"Quick, check your phone news, your dad's in it!"
While enjoying hot pot with mutton, Chen Xiaoyu scrolled through her phone and finally discovered something incredible. She immediately urged Shen Jiayi to watch it together.
"Xinghua City is promoting new economic growth points, making great strides in e-commerce and consumer products targeting young people..."
"Oh dear, why did I go to the [Dong Ge's Milk Tea] flagship store?"
Shen Jiayi was stunned after taking a look, and then pushed the news link to Ye Kai.
"Mayor Shen has made a move!"
Ye Kai only listened for a moment, but he already knew what had happened.
Although Mayor Shen had previously promised to help promote "Dong Ge's Milk Tea," in which his daughter had invested, he hadn't taken any action until now. His sudden, large-scale action clearly indicated that he had planned carefully before acting and wanted to give his daughter a big surprise.
After all, this time the delegation that came to visit the flagship store of "Dong Ge's Milk Tea" was not from Xinghua City, but from the e-commerce industry inspection team from the province. The impact of this visit went beyond the provincial and municipal scope and directly pushed the news to CTV.
That's awesome, Mayor Shen!
