Chapter 455: Going abroad for exchange?
Time flies. Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and the new semester is coming to an end.
Lin Qingyan used her busy free time to prepare for the final exams. She was still taking exams for two majors at the same time. She took the exams for her major together with her classmates.
As for the foreign language exam, she went to the foreign language department office alone before other students and took the exam alone in front of several teachers.
This time when Lin Qingyan took the English test, not only was the professor present, but even the dean of the English department came.
Lin Qingyan just glanced at it in surprise and then focused on doing the test paper.
By the time the last exam was over, the papers she had taken previously had been corrected.
When Lin Qingyan was about to leave, she was stopped by the department head.
"Student Lin, please wait a while before leaving. When the last test paper is corrected, we will take a look at your results together."
Lin Qingyan was a little confused, but she didn't ask. She stood aside and waited for a few minutes, and then the total scores of her subjects came out.
The teacher who graded the test papers handed the graded test papers to the department head, and at the same time, he looked at Lin Qingyan with appreciation, encouragement, and even a hint of indescribable complex emotions.
"Student Lin, your total score in these subjects is only ten points away from full marks. You are very good. We did not expect that you could take care of two majors at the same time and learn both majors so well.
If all students in our college can be like Lin, then our country will have no worries about lack of talents. "
The department head looked at Lin Qingyan with admiration and was deeply moved at the same time.
"Director, I'm not as good as you say. I'm just one of many students. Our college is full of talented people.
There are many outstanding students waiting to be discovered by you and the professors. I believe that as long as they are given a chance, they will firmly grasp it and contribute to the country. "
Lin Qingyan didn't quite understand why the department head suddenly praised her, but she still expressed her opinion.
"Student Lin, our country is going to select a group of outstanding students from the foreign language departments of various schools and send them to the other side of the ocean for study and exchange. Our school has three places, and I can decide one of them."
The dean paused here, met Lin Qingyan's surprised eyes, smiled, and continued to say to Lin Qingyan,
"I have discussed with several of your professors and decided to look at your final exam results before deciding whether to give you a place.
Mr. Lin, you have lived up to our expectations and have done very well in the exam. Now please seriously consider our proposal.
Are you willing to represent the country to study and exchange? Learn new knowledge abroad, and then return to serve the motherland? "
"I do!" Lin Qingyan agreed without any hesitation.
She was very excited at this time. Going abroad was part of her plan. She had planned to wait until she graduated from university, when the country would be open to the outside world, and she could study abroad at her own expense.
She didn't expect that the school would give her this opportunity. She can go abroad now. After going abroad, she can use the characteristics of space to do many things.
The more Lin Qingyan thought about it, the more excited she became, and a terrifying light flashed in her eyes.
The dean looked at Lin Qingyan, who was usually calm and had no emotions, and suddenly had a very obvious expression and smiled.
"I hope you will remember what I said today, learn more knowledge, and return to serve your country."
"Thank you, Director, thank you, Professor!"
Lin Qingyan bowed and saluted the office director and professors, and several professors looked at Lin Qingyan with satisfaction.
"Don't tell anyone else about this when you get back. Once the other two places are decided, the school will send a notification.
I heard that you are currently running some business, you should take care of these during this period, and wait for the Department of Diplomacy to finish its work, and you can leave in about two months."
The department head whispered instructions to Lin Qingyan, and Lin Qingyan nodded from time to time.
When Lin Qingyan left the office, she still felt like she was dreaming.
She thought about it, went to the faculty building, and found Yu Zhengming chatting downstairs.
"Old Yu, your favorite student is here."
A professor who knew her called out to Yu Zhengming in the crowd. Yu Zhengming turned around and saw Lin Qingyan, a smile appeared on his face.
"Qingyan is here, have you finished the exam?"
"finish exam!"
"Where's my godmother?"
"I'm cooking at home. Let's go home."
Lin Qingyan greeted several professors in the yard before following Yu Zhengming home. After they left, envious voices were heard in the yard.
"Old Yu is so lucky to have such a proud student. This child is also very filial. She sends a lot of food to Old Yu and his family every week. A biological daughter can't compare to that."
"That's right. Old Yu's family doesn't need to buy any more vegetables and fruits. They are all delivered by this girl."
“It’s so enviable!”
"This kid has very good grades. He studies two majors at the same time and still manages to get first place in every exam."
"If you are envious, go to the countryside for some time, and maybe you will meet some good students."
The other old lady couldn't help but tease them when she saw their sour looks.
"We are just chatting. We will be on holiday soon anyway, and we have nothing to do."
Lin Qingyan, who had already returned home with Yu Zhengming, was unaware of the discussions below. At this moment, she was telling Yu Zhengming and Fang Yuzhen what had just happened.
"You mean, the director of the Foreign Languages Department gave you a place to study abroad?"
After hearing the whole story, Yu Zhengming frowned and asked.
"Yes, the director said that our school has three places, and he has the right to decide one place, so he gave this place to me."
"This is a very rare opportunity. Going abroad is an opportunity that others only dream of. Qingyan, you must seize it."
After hearing the cause of the incident, Fang Yuzhen looked at Lin Qingyan with satisfaction.
"Yes, godmother, I will."
Yu Zhengming was silent for a while, then stood up.
"I'll go confirm what your director said with the principal. Make sure this spot is yours and don't let anyone else take it away."
"The dean said he gave me the spot. Can it be snatched up? Probably not, right?"
Lin Qingyan still trusts the head of the Foreign Languages Department more.
"If it's anything else, I definitely can't take it away, but as for going abroad, as your godmother just said,
This is an opportunity that many people dream of. Once people know about it, they will definitely grab this spot at all costs."
Yu Zhengming turned around and prepared to go out. After thinking for a while, he went to the kitchen and took out the fruits that Lin Qingyan had brought two days ago.
"I will go to the principal and make sure this quota is fulfilled so that others can't get it even if they want to."
Fang Yuzhen also stood up when she heard this and called out to Yu Zhengming who was already outside the door.
"Old Yu, I'll go with you. The two of us will always be more important than just one."
Lin Qingyan stared in amazement as the couple rushed out in a hurry. Looking at their receding backs, she felt warm in her heart. Her godfather and godmother really treated her like their own child.
Lin Qingyan didn't expect that when Yu Zhengming and his wife arrived at the principal's office, they happened to meet the director of another department.
He put pressure on the head of the Foreign Languages Department in front of the president, hoping that he would give up this position.
"I have already given this position to Lin Qingyan. Lin Qingyan's excellence is obvious to all. I believe she can learn more knowledge outside."
The director of the Foreign Languages Department spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
"Mr. Wang, I admit that Lin is excellent, but you can't just focus on Lin and ignore other excellent students.
Lin is already very good, she always gets first place in the exam.
If you can only see the students who got the first place in the exam, but not the students who worked hard to get the second and third place, isn't that unfair to them?"
