Liu Lang's application for a passport is only the first step. If you want to go abroad, you must obtain the consent of the local consulate, which is a visa issue.
It is difficult to get a visa, and it is easy to say it is simple. For example, it is relatively easy for some domestic intellectuals. For Americans, these are valuable people who will create wealth for society. Of course, the more such people, the better.
Basically, it can be passed in one go. Others who have overseas connections can also
It's easy. As long as your overseas family members submit some certificates, the consulate will basically pass it. But it's not so easy for some people who have neither value nor overseas connections. The consulate staff will ask you a lot of questions, as long as you answer them.
If the other party is dissatisfied, then try again next time.
There are many people who have gone through "all kinds of difficulties" to get their passports, but they just can't get through the visa process. They are rejected by the consulate staff every time they come, so much so that they become mentally disturbed.
When Liu Lang came to the door of the consulate, he saw forty or fifty people lining up in a long queue outside the big iron gate, holding passports in their hands and feeling anxious. Some people even clasped their hands to pray for God's blessing.
"Brother Sun, you see, these are people who want to go abroad, and now we are just like them!"
This time I went abroad just to investigate. It didn't last long, only a month. Only Sun Hu came with Liu Lang. If the school was confirmed, Liu Lang's parents would need to come with them when they came back. But Sun Hu
Hu and the others are staff of the diplomatic department, so the state will directly handle it for them.
"Liu Lang, you are different from them. They go abroad for a better life abroad, but you go abroad to learn advanced technology. There is a huge difference in level!"
Sun Hu was very grateful to Liu Lang. Although he was very loyal to the country and had no complaints when the country asked him to perform tasks, he still felt guilty about his family, especially since he had no time to take care of his son. Now
Liu Lang's words made their family move to the United States, and the family could be reunited. Sun Hu didn't like to talk very much, but he already regarded Liu Lang as the closest person in his heart. In order to protect Liu Lang, even if he sacrificed his life
I have no regrets in my life.
"Okay, let's wait here, it will probably take a few hours!"
Liu Lang and Sun Hu stood at the back of the team and saw people coming out of the consulate every ten minutes. Most of them were dejected. Some people squatted on the ground and cried, obviously because their visas had not been approved.
Those who passed the visa were jumping up and down, even a little crazy.
"Buddha bless us to pass!"
The people in front and behind Liu Lang were all praying with solemn faces.
"well!"
Liu Lang looked at them and shook his head slightly.
After waiting for more than two hours, Liu Lang's feet were numb from the cold, and finally he and Sun Hu walked into the consulate.
A staff member was sitting on a chair and didn't even raise his eyelids when he saw the two people coming in. He just pointed to a room in front with his raised toes. The word "Visa Room" was written on the door. Sun Hu glanced at the other person and said the same.
With no expression on his face, he walked to the door and opened it, and the two of them walked in immediately.
The room was very spacious. There was a big table in the center. Behind the table sat a white man in his forties. The room was air-conditioned and the heat rushed towards him. Liu Lang, who was still very cold just now, quickly took off his thick coat.
After coming down, Sun Hu immediately took over the clothes.
The white man was a little surprised when he saw a child walking in.
"Are you here to apply for a visa?"
The visa officer asked in blunt Chinese.
"That's right, the two of us are here to apply for visas!"
Liu Lang answered in very fluent English.
"Um?"
This time the visa officer was surprised.
Liu Lang's English level is very high. If he were tested, he would be able to pass level 8 easily. Moreover, he has no trace of Chinese English accent and speaks the most standard Mandarin in the United States. He is simply better than Americans.
At this time, many people want to go abroad. The vast majority of people have never learned English. There are also a small number of people who are scholars or students. They can speak some English, but it is impossible to listen when they speak it. The level is comparable to that of foreign kindergartens.
As a child, I have never heard such pure English.
"I can't believe that a child like you can be so fluent in English. Are your parents abroad?"
The other person suddenly became energetic and immediately asked in English.
"No, no, my parents are both in China, but my English is very good. Not only is my English good, I participated in the Olympics the year before last and won the World Olympic Quiz Competition!"
When Liu Lang came up, he introduced himself to his family.
"Olympic champion? Oops! Are you the child prodigy Liu Lang?"
The other party reacted immediately.
"Oh? You know me?"
Liu Lang was a little "unexpected".
"I know, I know. You are the most powerful child prodigy in China. I heard that you took the college entrance examination at the age of three and got the top prize. What? You want to go abroad?"
When he heard it was Liu Lang, the visa officer immediately stood up.
"That's right, I'm going to take the college entrance examination in the United States!"
Liu Lang sat on the chair and said.
"Going to the United States to study for college?"
"Well, I graduated from Huaxia University and want to continue my studies in the United States!"
"So that's it!"
The visa officer's eyes kept turning around, obviously thinking, and Liu Lang could guess what he was thinking.
The U.S. consulate also has intelligence personnel. In fact, every country’s diplomatic mission has this function. No matter whether the relationship between the two countries is good or bad, intelligence must be collected. If there are some hostile countries, they collect intelligence through money.
It's normal. This kind of thing is an unspoken rule and everyone knows it. The key is whether you can find out. If you don't find out that everyone is a good friend, even if you find out, most of them will negotiate terms secretly and will not put it into practice.
This kind of thing is made public.
Sino-US relations have been good over the years. The United States has supported China in all aspects, especially reform and opening up. The other side has shown great enthusiasm. Although the relationship is good, intelligence work still needs to be done, not to mention confidential intelligence.
, anyway, various means will be used, and mysterious agents like 007 will sometimes take action.
However, it is not too difficult to obtain some simple information. For example, the consulate subscribes to major Chinese newspapers every day and learns about China’s relevant situations through newspapers. They knew about China’s inflation last year. After reporting it to the above, many economic experts in the United States still
They made predictions that China's economy was in great danger. Of course, their predictions later failed.
There are also newspapers that often report that a certain factory has achieved a technological breakthrough, and they will record it and report it to their country. In 1984, the name that appeared most in the newspapers was Liu Lang, who was the top scorer in the college entrance examination at the age of three.
I went to Hua Xia University, participated in the Olympics and won three championships. In short, during that period, this name appeared more frequently than the top officials of the country, and my ears were scratched.
If there is some news that Americans will have some doubts, then no one will doubt that Liu Lang is a child prodigy. The news they got from the US government is that Liu Lang completely crushed his opponents during the competition. He is indeed a prodigy for decades.
A rare child prodigy. Of course, he is just a child prodigy now. It is unknown what will happen to him in the future.
Why did China no longer report on Liu Lang after he won the Olympic gold medal? This is when it started to show its effect. If it were still reported every day that Liu Lang led workers to create stainless steel smelting furnaces and led SMIC to manufacture chips, what if this was the case?
If so, the Americans will regard Liu Lang as their number one "enemy". If he goes abroad, he will be watched by foreign intelligence agents, and nothing can be done.
The country protected Liu Lang very well. Even the Americans didn't know what Liu Lang had done in the past two years. They thought he was studying at Huaxia University.
Now that Liu Lang appeared in the US consulate, he immediately attracted the other party's attention.
