"You all want to study at our school? Well, I can tell you that the admission criteria here are very strict. It mainly involves a math exam, and since you are foreigners, you need to be able to understand at least basic language. So, now start introducing yourselves."

Cheng Guangxu and Cai Peilin could only understand about 50% of it, but they got the gist of it: a math test and a self-introduction in a foreign language.

Both of them had a general idea of ​​what was going on, but they were still very nervous. Given their spoken English level, they were really embarrassed to open their mouths.

Zhang Hongmei stepped forward and introduced herself in fluent foreign language. "Hello, I am Zhang Hongmei from China. I am fourteen years old. I have always longed to study here and see what a school that can research computers is like. This time, I finally have the opportunity to come here. Although I know that I may not be able to pass the assessment, my friends and I still came for our ideals. Although we know that this is an international event, we also believe that academia has no borders."

I can honestly tell the teacher that my three friends are not as good at foreign languages ​​as I am, but their determination to pursue further studies here is no less than mine. Please, school and teachers, give us a chance to study at this school we aspire to attend.

After Zhang Hongmei finished speaking, she bowed at a 90-degree angle and then returned to her previous position.

Zhao Tiancheng was truly astonished. He hadn't expected this little girl to be so good at foreign languages, and so fluent and articulate.

The female teacher in the academic affairs office was also very surprised. She hadn't expected a Chinese person to speak their own language so fluently. She immediately felt a good impression of her, and Zhang Hongmei's statement that scholarship has no borders made her look at this young girl with yellow skin and black hair even more favorably. She nodded to herself, thinking that such a student had a very high chance of being admitted.

After Zhang Hongmei finished speaking, Cheng Guangxu wanted to step forward and introduce himself, but Zeng Zhongkang beat him to it.

“Hello teacher, I am Zeng Zhongkang from China. I am 22 years old this year. I have always longed to attend B University and hope that the school teachers will give me this opportunity.” After he finished speaking, he took half a step back.

Zhang Hongmei was a little surprised; she hadn't expected him to be so good at foreign languages. He was usually so quiet and reserved; he really was a man of few words.

Now Cheng Guangxu stepped forward and gave a halting introduction, but he did speak.

Now the teachers in the academic affairs office finally felt at ease. This was the normal level of foreign students. However, they liked this male student very much. They had taught many students, and this one was a down-to-earth and hardworking student. They had a particularly good impression of him.

Finally, it was Cai Peilin's turn. His foreign language skills were similar to Cheng Guangxu's, and he finished in just a few simple sentences. With the excellent foreign language self-introductions of the previous two, he was able to calm down and overcome his fear, so he still won the teacher's favor.

"Very good, you are all excellent. Since your procedures are legal, would you like to participate in this exam?"

The four nodded; the hardest hurdle was over. Now, only the math exam remained. The other three had no problems, but Zeng Zhongkang was a little unsure. He had been out of school for many years and didn't know if he could pass this time.

The female teacher stood up and said, "Sir, you can leave now. They have one hour for the exam, and I will personally take them there."

Zhang Hongmei nodded to Zhao Tiancheng, and the four of them followed their teacher away.

"Let me introduce myself. You can call me Catherine. I hope that you all can realize your dreams and pursue your studies here."

Okay, please go into the classroom. The proctor will be here shortly, please wait a moment.

The four of them said goodbye to her and then sat in their chairs waiting for the proctor to come over.

Zhang Hongmei glanced at the three of them, then took out a pen and sat down properly. The other three followed Zhang Hongmei's example, and no one spoke.

Zhang Hongmei recalled a movie with a similar situation: several people were waiting in a room, but someone was already observing them. It was better to be cautious than to make a big mistake, so it was best to wait properly and leave a good impression.

The other three subconsciously followed Zhang Hongmei's actions. Besides, Zeng Zhongkang was a man of few words and had received formal training, while Cheng Guangxu and Cai Peilin were both students who focused on their studies. So all four of them were calm and composed people who could sit still.

This time, Zhang Hongmei was right; there really was someone observing them.

Seeing that the four of them were not anxious or uneasy, my impression of them improved a lot.

Ten minutes passed, and they remained in the same position, except for Cai Peilin, who picked up a pen and twirled it in his hand.

Ten minutes later, someone came in. This time it was a portly, balding man.

He came in without saying a word, and simply handed each person a test paper.

"Now you will begin answering the questions. You have half an hour." After saying that, he sat down and stared at them.

Zhang Hongmei glanced at the exam paper and felt relieved. These were all multiplication problems, which really wouldn't be difficult for the three college students. As for Zeng Zhongkang, he shouldn't have any problems either.

I habitually wrote my name at the top of the paper. Then I started answering the questions. Since I had half an hour, I decided not to hold back and put down my pen after ten minutes.

Then she stood up, took the exam paper, and handed it to the proctor in front of her. The other three followed Zhang Hongmei's lead, and all four of them handed in their papers and returned to their seats.

The teacher simply sat there and spent the remaining twenty minutes grading papers.

The four sat there. Zhang Hongmei took a book out of her bag, and the other three did the same. The only sounds in the classroom were the scratching of pens and the turning of pages.

The time was up, and the teacher stood up. "Let me introduce myself. You can call me Principal Nathan Ellington. I am very satisfied with your performance. Now, I am officially informing you that you have all been admitted. You can now go to the archives to register your student status, collect your student ID cards, and the school will arrange dormitory accommodations for you. There will be dedicated staff to guide you through all the procedures."

All four of them stood up, bowed respectfully, and said thank you, of course.

At this moment, a middle-aged man entered. "Please come with me, you can call me Mr. John. I will guide you through all the procedures, and then you will be students of B University."
