Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 268 Bonus
The next day after returning, Chen Zhou took his passport to apply for a visa according to the appointment information of the US Embassy.
These are all new things, whether it is a passport or a visa.
For Chen Zhou, this was something he had never encountered before.
Chen Zhou applied for a passport at the Exit-Entry Administration Bureau after receiving the invitation letter and before going to Luzhou.
When he came back, he took it with him to apply for a visa.
The academic exchange trip abroad next month will be Chen Zhou’s first time going abroad.
However, it must be said that if it were not for the invitation letter to the academic conference, Chen Zhou doubted whether he could get a visa to the United States.
Damn, the problem is actually nothing, but during the interview, it seems to depend more on the interviewer's mood...
What's worse, Chen Zhou heard some very impolite words.
Of course, he overheard this.
Because the interviewer initially mistook Chen Zhou for a student going to study in the United States, he made things difficult for him.
It was not until Chen Zhou took out the invitation letter that the interviewer looked at the young man in surprise.
This is an invitation to an MIT academic seminar.
How can ordinary people get it?
Of course, what surprised him even more was that the young man in front of him was not simply there to "join in" on the academic exchange, but to give a 30-minute report.
Being able to give a report at a global academic exchange held by MIT , even if he is not from the academic circle, he can probably guess what this means.
Suddenly, the interviewer's attitude took a 180-degree turn.
Soon, a promissory note was sent to Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou naturally expressed his thanks politely.
Afterwards, Chen Zhou planned to leave the embassy and return to school.
But maybe he had a stomach upset yesterday, he ran into the bathroom first.
So he heard these very impolite words.
"Hey, James, you almost made a mistake today."
"Isn't it? I thought that boy was also an international student who yearned for the United States. Who would have thought that he would be invited to participate in academic exchanges."
"No, I think you just did something wrong, but your opinion is correct. He should still be a person who yearns for the United States. Chinese people are like this. Maybe this person will be one of ours in the future? Hahaha."
"Hahaha……"
Just as the two were talking and laughing loudly, Chen Zhou finished solving his stomach problem and walked out.
The moment they saw Chen Zhou, they were obviously stunned for a moment, and then their expressions became awkward.
Chen Zhou didn't explain anything, he just washed his hands silently and left.
Even if he argued louder, it would be of no use against this situation.
Unless he can change this situation.
But it is obviously impossible for Chen Zhou to change anything now.
Just like the question asked by the reporter at the previous award ceremony, about whether we can cultivate outstanding talents.
It’s not that we can’t cultivate them, it’s just that we can’t keep them.
This is the same opinion that Chen Zhou heard today.
He is also unable to change anything now.
However, Chen Zhou can always guarantee one thing.
That is, he will only have one nationality forever, and that is Chinese nationality!
Walking out of the embassy, Chen Zhou silently looked back at the American flag.
Then, turned and left.
On the subway back to school, Chen Zhou received a call from Wu Xiping.
Wu Xiping asked Chen Zhou to go to his office to find him, saying that it was about the 43rd Institute's project and that he wanted to give him his bonus in advance.
Chen Zhou was a little surprised to hear the news. According to the time calculation, the experimental results from the 43rd Institute should not be available until tomorrow.
Doesn’t the school want to wait for news from the 43rd school?
However, Chen Zhou would still be very happy if he could really get the bonus in advance.
After all, it’s better to put money in pocket.
This news also improved Chen Zhou's mood, which was originally not very good.
Chen Zhou can still look at the current situation that cannot be changed.
As long as you keep changing, the current situation will eventually change.
After returning to Yanda, Chen Zhou went straight to Wu Xiping's office.
After knocking on the door and entering, Chen Zhou was surprised to find that there were two other people in Wu Xiping's office.
One of them is an old acquaintance, Vice President Zhou, who is in charge of academic affairs.
The other middle-aged man was met for the first time.
Chen Zhou was very sure that he had no impression at all.
As for Wu Xiping's students and teaching assistants, none of them were there.
Chen Zhou greeted them politely: "Professor Wu, Dean Zhou, hello."
Dean Zhou smiled and nodded at Chen Zhou: "Hello, Chen Zhou."
Wu Xiping called to Chen Zhou: "Move a chair and sit over here. I have something to tell you."
Hearing this, Chen Zhou moved a chair and sat down next to Wu Xiping and the others.
Chen Zhou glanced at the middle-aged man with a little curiosity.
The middle-aged man was also looking at Chen Zhou, but the look in his eyes was unusually bright, as if he was looking at Baoyu.
While Chen Zhou was puzzled, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "This is classmate Chen Zhou, right?"
After hearing what the middle-aged man said, Chen Zhou didn't stay confused for too long. Wu Xiping introduced him, "Yes, Manager Liu, this is Chen Zhou."
Wu Xiping then introduced Chen Zhou: "Chen Zhou, this is Manager Liu from Huake Group. He is the one who asked you to go."
Manager Liu smiled and said, "Fortunately, we asked Chen Zhou to go, otherwise the project of the 43rd Institute would not have come to fruition so quickly."
Chen Zhou was quite surprised to hear what Manager Liu said.
Are the final experimental results of Institute 43 out?
So Chen Zhou said, "Manager Liu, the experimental results of the 43rd Institute should not be out yet, right?"
Manager Liu nodded and then shook his head.
Chen Zhou looked at him in confusion. What did this mean?
Manager Liu explained: "The experimental results have not yet come out, but Dr. Wu Xinyue has called me and told me that they are basically the same as expected."
After a pause, Manager Liu continued, "After all, your improved diamond film preparation process is there, and everyone trusts you. There won't be any problems with the preparation of diamond semiconductor materials."
Hearing this, Chen Zhou smiled embarrassedly.
He was really a little embarrassed. This person actually came to praise him without waiting for the experimental results. This was really too enthusiastic...
Dean Zhou also smiled and said , "Chen Zhou, Professor Wu should have told you before that in addition to the project bonus provided by Huake Group, the school has also set up a separate scholarship for this project."
Chen Zhou nodded. The highlight was coming and the bonuses were about to be distributed.
As expected, Dean Zhou immediately said, "Manager Liu happened to be here today, so we will give you the project bonus and scholarship together. As for how to distribute them, you and Shen Jing can discuss it alone, okay?"
Chen Zhou nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, no problem, President Zhou, don't worry!"
