Kennedy Airport is worthy of being one of the busiest airports in the world, with planes taking off and landing every minute.

However, Chen Chufan did not appreciate the spectacular scene. He was standing on the land of a foreign land with a backpack on his back and looking at the precautions written by Aunt Liu in his hand. After a series of customs security checks that made him so distressed that he bought a phone card at the airport and gave his family, Aunt Liu and his dear Xiaoxi to report their safety, he finally stood on the land of Country M.

Fortunately, the arrival time of the plane was around 9 am. According to the instructions in the book, New York is in the West Fourth District, while China is in the East Eight District, which is exactly 12 hours a day, so it was over 9 pm when the call returned to China, which did not disturb anyone's sleep.

Aunt Liu in her hand prepared a very detailed manual for him. It was detailed that not only did you need to pay the fare to take a TAXI in Country M, but you also need to give the driver about 15%-20% tips.

According to Aunt Liu's suggestion, Chen Chufan walked out of the airport and stopped a TAXI, and said to the TAXI driver in fluent English: "Julia Conservatory, thank you!"

"Welcome to NEWYORK, are you an international student from Dongfang?" The driver was very talkative. As soon as Chen Chufan got in the car, he asked.

"Yeah, yes! How do you know?" Chen Chufan asked.

"90% of the people who come to Dongfang Kong are international students. However, it is rare to see a person alone. People usually accompany you!" The TAXI driver explained.

"Oh, is that right? It seems that you often receive international students going there." Chen Chufan looked at the scenery outside the car and responded casually to the TAXI driver's words.

"You are right, buddy. I guess it's not the first time you've been to Country M. Your language is great! By the way, what country are you from? Korean? Japanese?"

"I'm sorry, you guessed it wrong. This is really my first time to come to Country M. And I'm a Chinese!" Chen Chufan replied depressedly.

"Wow, Chinese? Ha, I have a little Chinese bloodline. According to my grandmother, her mother comes from that mysterious country! By the way, do you know Chinese Kung Fu?"

In this way, I chatted with the chatty driver all the way. Chen Chufan learned from the driver that Juilliard School was next to three large theaters in the famous Lincoln Performing Arts Center in Manhattan, New York. It was a cultural and artistic center in the entire New York City.

Moreover, Juilliard School is divided into three colleges: Dance School, Drama School and Music School.

Hearing this, Chen Chufan couldn't help but complain: "What is the music school? Isn't it better to call it the art school directly? It's more appropriate."

Almost an hour later, TAXI arrived at the Jury School.

After paying the fare, getting off the car, Chen Chufan stood in front of the Juliet building and nodded with satisfaction. He is worthy of being the top music school in the world. At least it looks good.

The outer edge of the building is a circle of transparent glass curtain walls, which are hung with photos of concerts and operas. They look full of romantic artistic atmosphere and exotic style.

The gate of the building was particularly lively at this time. Young people of all kinds of skin were coming in and out with musical instruments on their backs. From time to time, strangers would greet Chen Chufan kindly.

When he walked into the school building, he was facing a big red and white staircase. This made Chen Chufan a little difficult. Aunt Liu gave him a detailed manual and did not attach an internal map of the Juliet School. So Xiao Chen stopped a white girl who had just walked into the building and asked humbly: "Can you ask, where should I go to the piano department of the Conservatory of Music?"

Emily looked at the big boy in front of her with interest. She had short hair, a wide forehead, and her eyebrows were a little thick, but she looked just right with those pretty eyes. Her nose was tall, her lips were moderately thin, and her yellow skin made her typical oriental appearance.

The white Puma T-shirt and paired with black sports cropped pants made the boy in front of him look very sunny. "Are you a new overseas student who has signed up?"

"Yeah, yes!" Chen Chufan nodded. When the girl looked at him, of course he also glanced at the exotic girl for a few more times. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with her long brown hair tied behind her head casually, and her green eyes were filled with aura, which looked particularly charming against the backdrop of her brown hair. There were a few faint freckles on the bridge of her high nose, which was the only flaw in the shape of the entire melon-shaped face. The smile on the corner of her mouth made people feel particularly comfortable.

"Okay, come with me. Oh my God, is Professor Grick crazy? At this time, there were international students coming to report?" The girl seemed to be muttering to herself, but her voice could make Chen Chufan hear it clearly. "By the way, my name is Emily, Emily Blunt, I am from the UK."

"My name is Chufan Chen, I am from China!" Chen Chufan introduced himself after the girl.

"Wow, China, it's so cool! If you don't say it, I thought you were Korean. There were so many Koreans in the academy. You will know in the future, of course you can pass the entrance exam!" Emily shrugged and said.

"Uh? Haven't you been admitted? You still need an entrance exam?" Chen Chufan was a little surprised. No one mentioned this to him.

"Oh, hasn't anyone told you? Every international student will have to have a re-examination when he arrives at the college. This is a damn rule! The content is the major and language you apply for. You have to work hard. I think you have no problem with the language, but you apply for the piano major. You have to play a song and let all the professional teachers give you more than eight points to be considered passing the test! Well, I have to tell you that the full score is only ten!" Emily explained to Chu Rookie patiently.

Chen Chufan was a little depressed. He finally arrived at Juliet's School and had not yet fully obtained the pass to enter the school. This really annoyed him.

"What if the exam fails!" Chen Chufan continued to ask.

When Emily heard Chen Chufan's question, she turned around and smiled brightly: "Then congratulations, you can go home and come back next year. However, the college will only accept two applications for the same major. If it is not next year, you can consider changing your major and applying, or applying for a new school."

Chen Chufan felt a little sad when the college's strict requirements. When he was in China, he often heard that American universities were typical of lenient entry and strict exit. Why did he come by himself, but found that this was not the case at all? He didn't know that Juilliard was the most stringent music school in the United States, and some admission requirements were even stricter than Harvard.

The two of them had already reached the door of an office on the second floor of the teaching building, "Okay, this is Professor Grick's office. He is the director of the music department. If you have any questions, you can ask him directly." Emily stood in front of the door and knocked on the door of the office for Chen Chufan.

"Please come in!" A serious voice came from the house.

Emily made a gesture of inviting her to enter, then turned around and left without even giving Chen Chufan the chance to thank him.

Chen Chufan pushed open the door and walked into the office.

The office is not big, with two file cabinets placed beside the wall on the left. Two meters in front of the file cabinet are office desks and chairs. A man in his forties and fifties, wearing glasses is looking up at Chen Chufan who walked into the office.

"Hello, professor! I am an international student in the music department." Chen Chufan greeted Professor Grick who was sitting there.

"I know you, I have watched your video. You are Chu Fan Chen from China, right? Look, I even remember your name! Come, sit down, kid!" Professor Grick put down his head and pointed at the chair in front of the desk, and said to Chen Chufan.

"My name is Dan Grick. You can call me Professor Grick. I know your situation. Professor Li is an old friend of China. You have his letter of introduction, and he highly respects you. I believe his judgment. However, the college has rules. Every student who enters the school must undergo the school assessment. Are you ready?" After Chen Chufan sat on the chair, Professor Grick continued to speak.

"Yes, Professor Grick, I think I'm ready." Chen Chufan nodded and said calmly.

"As I said just now, I have seen the video you sent. Your piano, guitar, and saxophone are all pretty good. You know, this makes some professors in the college very curious. There are many professors looking forward to seeing you and looking forward to your performance. So your assessment is set at 8:30 tomorrow morning. How about it? Tomorrow is just the weekend, and the professors are free. I think they are willing to take a little insignificant rest time to test you, a genius boy from the East. So go and have a good rest today, cultivate your spirits, and welcome tomorrow's assessment, young people!" Professor Grick said in one breath.

"Oh, OK, Professor Grick. But where do I live today?" Chen Chufan touched his head and asked with a keen look.

Professor Grick looked confused, but he looked confused: "Uh? Haven't you booked a hotel near the school?"

"That's right. Before I came, no one told me that I had to take the exam to enter the school, so I thought I could go through the admission procedures by just going to the school and arrange the dormitory, Professor Grick." Chen Chufan explained helplessly.

"Well? This is indeed a problem. Well, I think it's time to show the hospitality and enthusiasm of our Chinese people. But didn't you report to the International Student Services Office first?" Professor Grick asked in confusion.

"Uh? No, I came to you first as soon as I arrived at the school!" Chen Chufan said depressedly. This is completely blind, but it seems that Aunt Liu mentioned in her manual that she should report to another place first.

"Okay, wait a moment. I will find someone to arrange your accommodation today. There should be free beds in the dormitory, oh, damn it. I don't care about that!" Professor Grick picked up the phone at the desk: "Hey, my dear guy, Crew, I have a new international student here, and I need to arrange accommodation temporarily. Do you have time to come to my office?"

"Oh, yes! Now, right now! He is waiting in my office!"

After saying that, Professor Grick hung up the phone and said to the confused Chen Chufan: "Look, the matter is done, everything is that simple. But what I want to say is that the person responsible for your study abroad is too irresponsible. He didn't explain the procedures for admission to the college to you clearly, so he let you run over."
