344. Set a small goal: donate a library to go to school
The poetic little professor is very popular. He is extremely popular in the music circle. He is at the peak of his popularity.
In fact, this is also related to his proficient and top-notch performance level and miraculous composition level. For example, some young first-line pianists are also very popular, but the problem is that their level actually still has a lot of room for improvement, so music
After listening to their performances, the old-timers in the music industry would praise them and say that they are future masters who have great potential.
But Ren He was different. Masters would remain silent for a long time after listening to his performance, because they couldn't understand how a 16-year-old boy could keep up with him in terms of level.
Even they have to admit that this is true genius.
No, some masters have expressed their opinions privately. Someone asked them whether the young professor has the potential to become a great master.
The answers from the masters are basically: You are wrong.
What's wrong? Some people are confused. Could it be that the level of the young professor is not that good?
The masters sighed and replied: "It's not that he has potential, he is already a master."
Damn it, these words are a bit explosive when spread out, a 16-year-old grandmaster? Are you kidding!
This has also helped to increase Ren He's reputation in a disguised way. The 16-year-old grandmaster's influence is still gradually increasing. No one knows when his end will be reached.
Just like those old-timers in the field of extreme sports will not express any dissatisfaction with knights in public. It is not because of Ren He's current achievements, but because of his age!
This age is too scary. Chinese people often say that young people should not be bullied into poverty.
So what if this person was not poor when he was a teenager, not only rich but also omnipotent...
Seniors in the field of extreme sports are thinking, don't mess with knights casually, maybe they will take away the honor in the field you are in after practicing hard for a period of time.
Knight's reputation in the field of extreme sports is unique, because he is a veritable king of crossovers. No one can win so many first-person titles like him, and no one can conquer all other fields like him.
Everyone is in danger.
The most nervous person right now is the first person in the field of free-handed rock climbing. Why? Because the knight’s first time is free-handed rock climbing on Mount Everest, which at least means that he is practicing this!
Therefore, the field of free climbing is also speculating on when knights will come to challenge free climbing. In fact, they also know very well that if they can climb with bare hands at an altitude of 8,800 meters, they are no different from supermen. They do not even dare to climb at an altitude of 6,000 meters.
So big.
Just like the world record set by the first person in the field of downhill skiing, it was also completed at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters. He could not even think of 8,800 meters...
However, while the outside world was discussing the young professor and the knight, Ren He was still in Yang Xi's apartment, listening to Yang Xi practicing the piano and writing his application for admission to Columbia University.
Now that the Juilliard School has become formal, he has an idea of what to teach. He will even intersperse lectures on composition, because letting everyone understand the process of composition can also help them understand the way to deal with sound intensity.
Methods, all the students who take his class have become accustomed to his unrestrained teaching methods.
Sometimes we talk about irrelevant topics, but in the end we can turn back to music and make people thought-provoking. This feeling is weird, but it is full of fun! =
At this time, Ren He can apply for admission to Columbia University, but a question arises: admission requires high school transcripts, etc. However, Ren He actually came to the United States as a freshman in high school. Is his transcript useful?
?It’s useless…
But he wanted to tell someone that he wanted to donate to the library, but he didn't know who to contact. He could only send an email and wait to see how they responded to the email.
At this time, Yang Xi finished playing and came over to see what he was busy with. She was stunned when she saw it: "You want to sign up to go to Columbia University?"
"Well, that's right," Ren He nodded: "I think it's better for me to continue going to school. The main thing is that my parents have to explain..."
"Well, I support you," Yang Xi nodded: "Let me see what it says in your application..."
"Don't look, don't look..." As soon as Ren He finished speaking, Yang Xi's little head came over to read the content of the email. She laughed like crazy as soon as she read the first sentence.
Ren He said with a dark face: "I told you not to look at it, don't laugh, don't laugh."
"I can't survive," Yang Xile's stomach ached. The first sentence of Ren He's application was, Hello, I want to donate to a library!
Phew, what the hell, whose application would be written like this?
But there was nothing Ren He could do about it. He really didn't know the big guys from abroad at all, and there was no way he could be recommended by Mr. Zhou like he did when he went to No. 4 Middle School.
"This is called expressing one's feelings directly, you know? I wrote it too long and too tactfully, so I was worried that they wouldn't understand it!" Ren He explained.
"Okay, okay, you're right, I just want to know how Columbia University will reply to you," Yang Xi was sitting on the sofa with a bright smile. Ren He accidentally caught a glimpse of her white, smooth and thin little feet and his heart skipped a beat, so he quickly averted his gaze.
Yang Xi also noticed the look in his eyes. She panicked and hid her little feet under the sofa cushion: "Bah, you gangster."
"Ahem, cough, cough," Ren He looked at the computer awkwardly: "Hey, you got a reply so quickly! I'm going for an interview tomorrow morning!"
Yang Xi is confused, is this okay?! Now we can go for an interview?!
In fact, Ren He also learned something. In fact, there are too many tricks in the rankings of American universities. To put it simply, although Columbia University ranks fourth, in terms of serious academic things such as scholarship, it is likely to rank very high.
lean back.
Another example is that although Stanford University is always ranked behind Harvard and Yale, its reputation sometimes even exceeds that of Harvard.
To put it simply, Columbia University is not as serious as imagined...
In fact, what are the universities we come across in China like? The general impression is that everyone must take the exam, and if you want to get in, you have to take the exam. However, there are also some people in China who enter the university through abnormal means.
This situation is more common in foreign countries, which may be understood as the capitalist world's emphasis on capital... Ren He just made an irrelevant joke about this. He really didn't know how this trend was formed, and he didn't go into it deeply.
I understand. If the money is given to the school, it may not really be used to donate the library. It is just a name. As for how people spend the money, Ren He has no control over it.
But he only needs to know that donating a library can be a stepping stone for him to enter Columbia University.
"I don't know what I will be interviewing for?" Yang Xi said worriedly. She really wanted Ren He to continue going to school, because Ren He gave up his studies entirely for her. She also understood very well how much Ren He yearned for campus life.
, although she doesn’t know why Ren He has such a persistent love for campus life, she supports it.
Because Ren He gave up his studies just for her, with some guilt, Yang Xi also hoped that Ren He could successfully enter Columbia University.
"No matter what he is interviewing for, there is nothing that can't be solved by donating one library. If that doesn't work, then donate two," Ren He said cheerfully.
"Upstart," Yang Xi rolled her eyes. Although it was a derogatory term, Yang Xi dared to tease Ren He casually because she knew Ren He's background best: which upstart could own a master-level piano and violin?
level, and that divine inspiration for composing?
"I am a nouveau riche and I am proud of it," Ren He didn't mind the word nouveau riche at all, and was even a little complacent...
