Chapter 344 Preparation before the Interview
The surprise came too suddenly. Deputy Minister Sun opened and closed his mouth for a while and was unable to recover for a long time.
The principal was quick to react. After all, he had been engaged in education for decades. In just a few words, he elevated Lin Siqiao's behavior to the spiritual level of "sacrificing one's own family for the sake of the public."
After hearing this, Deputy Minister Sun nodded repeatedly and asked Lin Siqiao if she had any difficulties, and told her to just speak up.
Lin Siqiao shook her head. There were difficulties, but her senior brother had basically solved them all, so she didn't say anything else.
She didn't say anything, but the principal had a lot to say.
A few minutes later, the topic was brought up again about the awareness and responsibility of party members. Lin Siqiao's face turned red. Today she had experienced the principal's eloquence.
After clearing his cough a few times, Lin Siqiao spoke up to end this awkward moment.
"Vice Minister Sun, what should I do next?"
When it comes to business, Vice Minister Sun's expression immediately becomes serious.
"Student Lin, here are the information of 22 universities. You can take a look at it first."
"The 10 universities mentioned above will have interviews on the 24th of this month, and the interviews will be held at their embassies or offices in China."
"The remaining 12 schools do not need to register. We will handle the relevant procedures. You just need to report to the school on time."
The universities that Vice Minister Sun mentioned for interviews are all world-renowned universities, three of which are in China, namely Cambridge, Oxford and Imperial College London.
If it was the day before the final exam at Kyoto University,
Seeing that there was no conflict in schedule, Lin Siqiao collected the information and asked again, could he only choose one company for the interview, or could he interview at all?
If Lin Siqiao could only choose one company for an interview, he would choose the one he was most confident in.
"There is no requirement for this," Vice Minister Sun suggested. "We don't know the specific content of the interview. You can look at a few more companies and maybe you can summarize some experience."
Lin Siqiao nodded, thanked everyone, and said that she would do her best.
The matter was resolved satisfactorily and Vice Minister Sun did not stay any longer. No one in the working group had had a good night's sleep in the past few days and now they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
In the next few days, Lin Siqiao reviewed and took time to prepare for the interview.
She was not nervous about the interview. After all, before deciding to go to MIT, Lin Siqiao had contacted several universities.
She knew the specific process, so after returning, Lin Siqiao spent two days carefully preparing a set of information.
Lin Siqiao jokingly called this part the "gilding part".
The first is that she took multiple minor subjects in college and always ranked first in her professional courses.
As for the language, she accompanied the delegation throughout last year's visit to China and this time when the delegation went abroad, so there was no problem with the language barrier at all.
The last item is Lin Siqiao’s personal statement and two letters of recommendation. These two letters of recommendation were sent by Mr. Qi and his own master.
They have a certain degree of fame and influence both at home and abroad. With this, it can be said that Lin Siqiao's information is full of gold.
The time passed quickly and in the blink of an eye it was the day of the interview.
The hours given by the embassy are 9:00 to 11:00 in the morning and 2:00 to 5:00 in the afternoon.
Lin Siqiao had something to do at the Friendship Restaurant, so he arrived at the Second Embassy District before 8 o'clock in the morning.
She thought she had arrived early, but when she arrived, there were already more than 10 students standing at the gate of the embassy area.
Several people wearing the Peking University badge saw Lin Siqiao coming and took the initiative to step forward and say hello.
They knew Lin Siqiao, but Lin Siqiao had not spent much time in school in the past year. Plus, these people were from other departments, so she really couldn't recognize them and could only smile awkwardly but politely.
An older male classmate said, "Let's go. Let's not just stand here. Let's find a cool place to sit. The embassy staff who will be receiving us haven't come to work yet. The guard at the door said it will take a while."
As soon as these words came out, someone immediately responded, "This guard is really something. He doesn't know how to adapt at all."
"We showed him the school badge, but he kept saying that we were strangers without work permits and they couldn't let us in."
"We are obviously overseas students, how come we are considered as outsiders?"
The man shook his head, looking as if he didn't understand me. However, as these guards were all soldiers, he didn't dare to say anything too harsh.
Hearing the complaint in his tone, Lin Siqiao frowned and looked over.
After all, this is the embassy area, so it is normal for the security measures to be strict. Otherwise, they would just let anyone in, and who would be held responsible if something happened?
She came here so early today for work, and she had her work ID on her. Lin Siqiao naturally wouldn't stand here stupidly. As for what others thought, she didn't care.
Lin Siqiao came here every now and then. The guard at the door already knew her, so he just glanced at her work ID and let her in with a smile.
By the time everyone reacted, Lin Siqiao's figure had disappeared around the corner.
Seeing this scene, the male student who had just spoken suddenly looked ugly.
"Why is this classmate Lin walking so fast? We are alumni after all. She can just say hello to the guard and we can go in, right?"
"I heard she was a nice person before, but now it seems she is just so-so."
After hearing this, the other people were also speechless.
