Chapter 100 Excellence Building
This time she brought a lot of things with her and even bought some Chinese seasonings in Chinatown because the food here was so bad that it left her with a lingering fear.
After Emma and Manny took Zhang Wei and Namier to Devon to register, they found out that Zhang Wei and Namier could not attend the same class.
As mentioned before, German classes are held on a day basis, with students divided into grades and then into classes based on their grades. However, this is not the reason why Zhang Wei and Namier cannot attend classes together.
Because Zhang Wei and Namier are not in the same campus.
That's not quite accurate. To be precise, Devon put the girls in another area of the school.
This area has school buildings, dormitories and canteens. In fact, Devon has divided the school into boys' and girls' schools. After all, British traditions are not so easy to change.
The girls' school area is on the other side of the church. There are two old buildings left over from the past, which are dormitories.
The teaching building was actually newly built. Zhang Wei swore that she had never seen that building when she sent Manny here before.
Although the color and overall architectural style are not much different from other old buildings, you can tell it is very new when you look closely.
Then a new wall was built leading to the girls' school, leaving only one door for entry and exit, but in reality that door is rarely opened. The main entrance of the girls' school is in another direction, and it takes at least ten minutes to walk to the main gate of the boys' school.
It can be said that the school is determined to separate boys and girls.
Zhang Wei couldn't help but think of Harrow Girls' School when she saw this situation. Fortunately, although the teachers here looked a little serious, they didn't seem domineering, which comforted her a little.
After reporting in, she and Namir had to act alone, and finally they had to split into two groups. Manny took Namir to the boys' dormitory, and Emma took Zhang Wei to the girls' dormitory.
After arriving at the dormitory and meeting the dorm manager Mia, I started to like this place.
Mia was a very enthusiastic old lady. After learning Zhang Wei's name, she took her to the smaller of the two dormitory buildings.
Both dormitory buildings are very old. The larger one is similar to the one where Manny and his friends live. It has five floors and is long and narrow. It looks like there are dozens of rooms on each floor.
The smaller one only had three floors and was very narrow. It looked like an old Western-style building where ordinary people lived. Zhang Wei felt that there were probably less than twenty rooms there.
It would be nice to have fewer people living together. On the first floor there is a large living room with a long dining table that can accommodate about twenty people.
The interior is obviously in medieval style and looks very gorgeous, not like a student dormitory at all.
After going up to the second floor, there are rooms. Grandma Mia opened a door and let them in. After pulling open the curtains, the light was very bright. It looked much bigger than Manny's room and was the size of an ordinary room.
The room had a black iron bed, a dressing table and desk, a wardrobe, and a separate bathroom. It was much better than Manny's slightly cramped room.
Are all girls' dormitories furnished like this? It's almost like the room in her London apartment.
Just as Zhang Wei was thinking about what to bring back in two days, Grandma Mia spoke:
"How's it going, little lady? Isn't this a nice room?"
Zhang Wei nodded immediately.
"Then I'll take you to see another dormitory."
When Grandma Mia said this, Zhang Wei was dumbfounded. After all this time, they just let her take a tour. She didn't live here.
Waste her feelings...
Then she and Emma visited another dormitory, which seemed unremarkable after seeing the small building.
It's similar to the dormitory where Manny and the others live. The rooms are smaller than here, and it's difficult to climb to the fifth floor. There are more than ten or twenty rooms on the first floor, but the other configurations are similar.
Finally, Grandma Mia told Zhang Wei that the small school building had a separate cafeteria, where the food was cooked according to 17th-century court recipes and had the best chefs in the school.
The name of that small building is translated into Chinese as Excellence Building, so Mia’s grandmother was just promising her that it should not be a place that ordinary people can live in.
School buildings are allocated after the first entrance test, so it is conceivable that only the best students can live there.
Well, after seeing the Excellence Building, it is true that the ordinary dormitories are a bit unsightly, and I don’t know how many of the top students can live there.
After successfully registering and returning to the apartment, Zhang Wei asked Manny why he didn't tell her about the connection between the entrance exam and Excellence Building.
"Leida and I both qualified for the exam, but we didn't receive the King's Scholarship, so we didn't tell you."
"Do I need qualifications for the exam? Namiel and I both need to take it!"
Zhang Wei was confused. She thought that not everyone had to take the entrance exam.
Manny shook his head: "No, only the 100 people who have received a letter of recommendation from the principal of a private elementary school can participate."
Zhang Wei looked at Namier. She remembered that he didn't have it.
"I don't know." Namir spread his hands.
Emma then said, "Mrs. Lope later reminded me of this, so she also wrote a letter of recommendation to Namier and sent it to Devon."
Well, it works this way. It turns out that the thresholds are designed for ordinary people.
Zhang Wei continued to ask, "So it's called the King's Scholarship? How many students are admitted?"
"Yes, the top twelve students admitted will receive the King's Scholarship. Not only will they be assigned to live in the Excellence Building, which symbolizes top students, but their uniforms will also be different. They can wear a cloak symbolizing honor and a golden Excellence badge."
"Five years of tuition are still available at the end, which is a lot of money."
Zhang Wei nodded repeatedly. She saw in the report manual that the tuition fee for one year was 50,000 pounds, which was 250,000 pounds for five years, which meant she could save more than 2 million yuan.
Oh my god! Zhang Wei wished she could know this earlier, but she didn't dare to tell Manny and the others since they didn't take it themselves!
Why would she travel or train when she can earn more than two million? You can even lock her in a room and make her do exercises every day!
Although it's not a loss of 100 million, it's still more than 2 million...
Zhang Wei immediately looked at Manny with resentful eyes. Manny seemed to have misunderstood what she meant. He patted her shoulder and said:
"We all know that it's not easy to get it, so you don't need to feel any psychological burden."
"Yeah, Vera, the tuition fee isn't a big deal. There's no need to be nervous. Just go and give it a try. Our Vera is very good at taking exams. Forget about Namir, hahaha!"
It was a rare occasion for Emma to tease Namir, and Namir, still angry, snorted reluctantly, like a little pig, which made everyone laugh.
It's hard to appease Namier when he gets angry. Zhang Wei has a deep understanding of this.
