Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 85: Major Selection
The conversation was mostly filled with compliments, which made Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi feel a little embarrassed.
Especially Chen Zhou, who was mentioned no less than three times during his learning process.
Therefore, Principal Zhu also mentioned one more thing, hoping that Chen Zhou could give an inspirational speech to his younger classmates.
Of course Chen Zhou had no objection, as he still had a hidden mission.
So, this matter was settled on the day of filling out the application form.
The bonus that Chen Zhou cares about will also be awarded to him on that day.
According to Principal Zhu, he and Yang Yiyi each received a bonus of 50,000 yuan.
When Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi came out of the principal's office, it was almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
After finding Zhang Yifan and the other two, they left the school.
Then they headed towards the station, ready to go home.
While waiting for the bus, Chen Zhou discovered that Zhang Yifan and the other three seemed to have made a lot of gains.
In the small conference room, Xu Shaowen answered their various questions about filling out their applications.
They have almost understood all the pitfalls of filling out applications and applying to schools.
They haven't decided on the school yet, but they have already decided on the majors they want to choose.
Zhang Yifan is more interested in chemistry, Li Xiang is optimistic about the prospects in biology, and Chen Haining is not very interested in several science subjects, but has his own ideas about economics and management.
Chen Zhou thought, if he chose one from mathematics and physics, and Yang Yiyi chose the other, then he would have all the majors...
Thinking of this, Chen Zhou looked at Yang Yiyi and asked, "Yiyi, have you decided what major to study?"
Yang Yiyi thought for a moment and replied, "Physics, I think it's quite interesting. What about you, Chen Zhou, have you decided?"
Chen Zhou was slightly stunned when he heard this. Should he major in mathematics? Collect four dragon balls? No, collect the four basic subjects...
"I haven't thought about it yet..." Chen Zhou replied.
When Chen Zhou returned home, it was already past 7 o'clock in the evening.
Because he had called Chen Jianguo in advance, when he got home, the whole family was waiting for him to have dinner.
It is said to be a big family because the entire Chen family came.
After receiving Chen Zhou's call and learning that Chen Zhou had won the top spot in the exam, Chen Jianguo was ecstatic and started making arrangements immediately.
Chen Zhou washed his hands and quickly went to sit at the dining table. The meal had already been served to him.
Everyone is here, let’s eat.
Chen Jianguo said , "I really never dreamed that one day our Chen family would produce a top scholar. Xiaozhou, you have given our whole family a big surprise! Come, let's drink together as a family."
The whole family was happy, except the younger ones, who were not so happy. The pressure from their eldest brother Chen Zhou was a bit too much.
Chen Jianguo added: "Xiao Zhou, many people came to our house today, all looking for you."
Chen Zhou: "They should all be admissions teachers from some colleges and universities, right?"
Chen Jianguo nodded. "Yes, they are all admissions teachers. Students from Yenching University, Shuimu University, Zhejiang University, and other good schools are basically all here. When I look at them, their eyes are full of light, as if they are robbing treasure."
Uncle Chen Zhou also said: "I've only heard about it on the news before, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes. Wow, there are so many good schools, just for one person. The conditions they offer are better than the other, just to beg you to go to school..."
Chen Zhou smiled softly upon hearing this and explained, "It is a common social phenomenon for schools to snatch high-quality students for their own development."
Chen Zhou thought of Zhao Ming's previous call and thought to himself, I didn't expect that the competition for students would start so early...
"Xiao Zhou, have you decided which university to go to? What do you want to study in the future?" Uncle Chen Zhou asked again.
Chen Zhou shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet, but I met the principal and the class teacher today. The principal said that if I have any questions, I can go directly to the school teachers."
Thinking of the meeting with Principal Zhu in the afternoon, Chen Zhou said, "Principal Zhu also told me one thing today. On the day of filling out the application form, the school will give me a bonus of 50,000 yuan as a reward."
After hearing what Chen Zhou said, Chen Jianguo also remembered something: "Xiao Zhou, I forgot to tell you that the county leaders also came this afternoon and also said that they would give you a bonus as a reward."
"Wow, the bonus from this county is not small, plus the conditions offered by those universities. It's so profitable to be the top scorer in the imperial examination..." The speaker was Chen Zhou's uncle.
Grandpa Chen Zhou looked at his youngest son and said, "I told you to go to school and just play. Do you regret it now?"
"Uh..." Uncle Chen Zhou was a little helpless.
The whole family laughed together and had a happy dinner.
After dinner, Chen Zhou was found by his aunt.
As soon as Chen Zhou saw his aunt, he knew what was going on. He said directly, "Don't worry, aunt . I've remembered about my cousin's tutoring. We can start after I fill in the application form."
Seeing this, the aunt felt relieved.
The next day, Chen Zhou met Mr. Zhao Ming from the Admissions Office of Yenching University again.
The conditions offered by Yanda are a scholarship of 50,000 yuan plus full tuition exemption, and additional rewards if the student's performance is outstanding in the future.
As for profession, it doesn't matter...
Later, the teacher from the admissions office of Shuimu University gave conditions that were basically the same as those of Yenching University.
Chen Zhou has met admissions teachers from the top ten universities in China one after another.
Although the subsequent university rankings are not as good as Yanda and Shuimu, the conditions offered are much more attractive than Yanda and Shuimu.
Of course, Chen Zhou did not agree to any institution, as there was one thing he was not particularly clear about.
"Hello? Is this Teacher Wang?" Chen Zhou called Wang Xuehui.
Wang Xuehui: "Chen Zhou, what's wrong?"
"Teacher Wang, I would like to ask, do you have any suggestions on choosing a school and a major?" Chen Zhou asked.
Wang Xuehui said: "Chen Zhou, I think the school should be either Yanda or Shuimu. There is no need to consider it."
Chen Zhou agreed: "Teacher, I know this. Considering long-term development, I will definitely choose between these two schools."
Hearing this, Wang Xuehui thought for a moment, and then said, "Yan Da focuses on basics, while Shuimu focuses on applications. Yan Da's advantage lies in science, so if you want to engage in research in basic disciplines, Yan Da is the best choice. Shuimu's advantage lies in engineering, so if you are interested in applied science, then choose Shuimu. As for the specific major, it still depends on your own choice."
Chen Zhou pondered for a while and said, "Teacher, I understand. Thank you."
Wang Xuehui: "Chen Zhou, have you decided which school and major to choose?"
Chen Zhou thought of a sentence he saw when he was looking up his major: "The vastness of the universe, the minuteness of particles, the speed of rockets, the ingenuity of chemical engineering, the changes in the earth, the mysteries of biology, and the complexity of daily life, mathematics is used everywhere. Mathematics is the crown of natural sciences and the main tool for other scientific research."
He said softly, "Mathematics major."
