Faced with Gu Ao's insensitivity, Principal Liu was very angry and was heartbroken to literacy:

"Xiao Gu! After all, you don't have this great reputation in your heart! You are a person who is good at everything and is pragmatic in your work. You have made a lot of contributions in recent years. But you are too pragmatic and sometimes you don't care about status.

You have to know that our diplomatic school has been established for 25 years, and now someone can finally go to Georgetown! Why don’t you cherish it? Do you think those seniors in the 1950s have poor academic standards? No! They didn’t catch up with the good times. At that time, the Chinese in Georgetown were all children of envoys sent to the United States by Wanwan. No matter how good we mainlanders study, they would have no chance..."

Principal Liu talked about it later and was filled with tears in his eyes.

Gu Ao thought about it carefully before he got around the corner and understood the last consideration that Principal Liu pointed to--

The significance of Gu Ao being invited by Kissinger is not just as simple as "the first mainland student to study for a doctorate at the Diplomacy Academy in Georgetown after the end of ten years of indescribable".

He was also "the first mainland student to study diplomacy in Georgetown after the founding of the People's Republic of my country."

Because Georgetown’s Diplomatic Academy recruits people, it is linked to the US diplomatic attitude, and it can even be said to be the endorsement institution of the US National Academy in the academic community.

79 years ago, the diplomatic relations recognized by the United States were the "min country" of Wanwan. Georgetown's Wall Diplomacy Academy recruited Chinese people, but of course they could only recruit children from Wanwan.

After the founding of our country for 30 years, there are also students who went to Georgetown to study, but they are all in other majors. There is still no one who studied diplomacy.

On January 1, 1979, although China and the United States officially established diplomatic relations, the "liaison office" in Beijing was upgraded to the "embassy", and the "embassy" in Taipei was also abolished.

However, the children who were once sent to the United States' "ambassador" are still studying diplomacy in Georgetown.

Although the mainland sent ambassadors, they have been put on hold because the ambassadors have no children of appropriate age to go to college, other senior envoys have no school-age staff, and there are no talents with suitable opportunities and abilities in all aspects.

As a result, the two "Chinese" quotas at the Georgetown Wallace Diplomacy Academy, which symbolizes the US diplomatic attitude, have been "stolen" by international students in Wanwan.

After explaining this thoroughly, Principal Liu finally grabbed Gu Ao's hand firmly and waved it twice:

"You know the meaning of studying abroad now, right? I don't just want you to win the little fame and fortune of the Diplomacy Academy's 'the first doctoral student to study for diplomacy in Georgetown.

We want to share the worries of the country and turn the 'Chinese who studied diplomacy at the Wall Diplomacy Academy' from Wanwan people to us mainlanders! Can you refuse such a big thing? Even if you ask the director or minister, will they refuse? Don't be rude, you will stop if you really make trouble with the leader!"

Gu Ao was so angry that he heard this.

After traveling to this world, he had already brought countless people to the point of being glaring.

But this is the first time he was led by others.

He only felt bitter in his mouth, astringent vocal cords, and a sticky and dry throat, and he wanted to speak silently.

I just received an invitation from Kissinger to study for a doctorate, so why did I make such a big deal?

Rising to the point where it adds icing on the cake to international recognition?

Principal Liu saw Gu Ao's silence and thought he had finally convinced him. Then he changed his tone and taught him earnestly:

"Xiao Gu, let me tell you this. Don't think that China-US diplomacy is enough as long as the establishment of diplomatic relations. Americans have great international demonstration significance for exchanges in various fields of Wanwan. Every step back, every step forward for exchanges in various fields of ours. How many countries in the world are focusing on the attitude of the United States and determining their own attitude?

Think about it, when the United States first lowered the "embassy" sent by the Wanwan people in Peanutton into a "liaison office". Several small island countries in Latin America cut off diplomatic relations with the Wanwan and changed to establish diplomatic relations with us. Later, the Americans completely cancelled the "liaison office" of the Wanwan, and some small African countries turned against each other.

Today, if Americans graduated all the Bay Bay students from Georgetown University’s Wall Diplomacy School and no longer accepted Bay Bay students and enrolled in the first mainland student, do you believe this vane falls into the eyes of those Caribbean Islands, you will definitely break off diplomatic relations with Bay Bay and establish diplomatic relations with us?

The Embassy only represents the attitude of the American political circle, and the Georgetown Diplomacy School represents the attitude of the American academic circle. What we want is that we can not help but do anything, and we will do everything in all directions! Isn’t this the same thing for seniors to engage in table tennis diplomacy?

How much effort does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have to make, how much foreign aid and friendly exchanges do to win over a "friendly country" on the other side of the strait into our "friendly countries"? If you go to study now, you can attract one or two "friendly countries" for the country. What else is there to be dissatisfied with? Do you work diligently and practically in the Foreign Investment Commission? How much does it take to achieve the credit for a newly established diplomatic country?"

"Principal, I was wrong. It was because I was too persistent in working hard and wanted to contribute more to the country, but I didn't expect that the situation was smaller." Gu Ao finally admitted his mistake very humble and heartbroken.

While lowering his head and wiping his tears, his eyes rolled around, and he frantically conceived other procrastination measures. Then he said carefully:

"However, Principal, even if I promise Professor Kissinger, it shouldn't be the first semester yet. I think we'd better make a long-term plan, otherwise it would be a waste of time for unnecessary waiting."

"What do you mean?" Principal Liu asked vigilantly.

Gu Ao sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "As far as I know, some of the top universities in the United States, including Georgetown, adopt a school season rather than an ordinary semester. Georgetown allows students to register at any of the three quarterly reports each year - and the September registration season has passed, and the next registration expiration will be from January 15 to January 30 next year."

"Of course I know this. You want to say that in the past two months, you still want to work diligently until the registration season?" Principal Liu interrupted impatiently.

There are several semester allocation systems for American universities, but there is no mandatory unification. There are ones that are one year or two semesters, and there are one year or three semesters.

But in general, the characteristics are that the winter vacation is relatively short and the summer vacation is relatively long - this can be seen from the festival distribution in Western countries.

Because Chinese people celebrate the Spring Festival, they only have winter vacations in February every year, so they can just divide the year into two semesters of similar lengths.

Americans celebrate Christmas and New Year's Day, so the final exam will be held in mid-December, and then Christmas is even the winter holiday, and school will start after January 10. Even East Asian countries with westernized festival customs such as Japan are also allocated semesters in this way. (If you really want to know the details, you can play "Persona 5" on PS4 to know how Japan put it during winter and summer vacations)

Georgetown University adopts the ability to register at three times a year, namely mid-January, mid-May and mid-September. The classes offered in each semester also have a circular scrolling.

(For example, if there is a course of "High Mathematics" in the top American universities, such as Harvard, they will not be offered "High Mathematics-Part" in September and "High Mathematics-Part" in March like Chinese universities. Instead, they will be given the upper and lower levels of "High Mathematics" at the same time in each semester, because they have many teachers and a complete class. Some classes are even only one or two students, but they must be given.

This is a requirement of general education, especially when freshmen just come in, they should give them the widest choice of courses and find their true interests for the rest of their lives.)

After Gu Ao talked to Principal Liu about these complacent and complacent things, he saw that Principal Liu's attitude had eased and seemed to be easier to speak. He also breathed a sigh of relief and continued to gain a lot of effort.

"Principal, you said just now that I entered Georgetown, which is more of a symbolic meaning. Why not call Mr. Kissinger now and tell him about the practical difficulties that I have already started working here. Let's go to apply for a semester in January. Then, can I take a leave of absence?

Don't worry, I want to sincerely continue to work hard for the project that breaks through the technical blockade of the Batube Ash Zone in the "Machinery Department" to break through the technology blockade of the Batube Ash Zone. If one person in the United States is in the United States for two consecutive years, can you feel at ease to work hard in China? It is also a big event, and the director attaches great importance to it.

This project was basically completed by 1982, and the ash zone technology that could be stolen from Bazhuo was almost finished. I would take a year off to take care of the timeliness of confidentiality and contribute to the country. When the year after, in May 1982, I will go to the United States again and finish the remaining 20 months. Isn’t that delay?

In order to promote the situation in China, all I need is the news that I have already enrolled in the Wallace School of Diplomacy at Georgetown University. As for whether I have to take a break from school or whether I have finished it at one time, it will not affect it.”

Principal Liu always felt that Gu Ao was ungrateful.

"Where do you have so many troubles? If the earth really leaves you, you won't transfer it? Others have such a good opportunity for you, and they have finished studying it for two years in one go! You are still too greedy! You are very particular! You are reluctant to give up any chance to make contributions! You always cause trouble for others!" Principal Liu scolded him and was already weak.

There is a sense of powerlessness that wants Gu Ao to die for himself.

Gu Ao knew that the more this time, the thicker he was:

"His Excellency Kissinger has the final say whether to cause trouble. I haven't asked yet. How do you know - you see, the contact information is attached to the invitation letter. Otherwise, I will call and confirm with Your Excellency Kissinger. If he is willing to leave school in the middle and understand that I am already a working person, then let's report to the leader. If Your Excellency Kissinger does not allow it, then pretend that I didn't say anything, and there is no way to delay other tasks."

Principal Liu completely lost his temper and pushed Gu Ao with a "bang" on the phone on the table.

Gu Ao looked at the time. He had been arguing with Principal Liu for so long, and it was already past 8 o'clock in the evening. He waited for a while, and guessed that it was also time for work in the morning. He carefully picked up the microphone in person. According to the lengthy international transfer, he finally called Kissinger, who was in Huashang, and introduced himself in English.

"Hello, Mr. Kissinger. You may not remember me. I will introduce myself. I am Gu Ao from the Chinese Diplomacy Academy. I published it in "Diplomatic Review"..."
