When Tian Bo handed the invitation letter to Liu Jingting, his expression on his face was very calm. The feeling was that it was expected that my students received this invitation letter, and there was nothing to show off. I was originally a people's teacher with good education.

"Don't be too stressed, just treat it as a small exam and perform normally."

Teacher Tian, ​​who was full of peaches and plums, explained calmly and calmly, turned around and walked out of the classroom with his hands behind his back. When he went out, he accidentally tripped by the threshold and almost fell.

After the class teacher left, the students quickly surrounded Liu Jingting, full of envy and admiration, and watched the red and yellow invitation letter with yearning, muttering: "It is worthy of being everything. The invitation letter is more particular than the admission notice for other people's colleges. By the way, Brother Ting, is there any reward for the top 16?"

Liu Jingting was entertaining everyone's onlookers with a smile. When he heard this question, he took out the pure black Parker pen and said, "This pen." The classmate who asked the question took the pen and sighed again.

Chen Haowei glanced at the man and said slightly, "Who can enter the world because of a pen in this essay contest? How much does it take for such a pen?" As he said that, he turned to look at Liu Jingting and continued, "Liu Jingting, I can't tell that you are so hidden, I made you laugh before."

Liu Jingting shook his head and smiled and said, "It's good luck."

Chen Haowei also did not deny it, saying: "There are four stages of the competition. It is impossible that every time it is the subject you are good at. This is indeed just the beginning. It should be more and more difficult in the future. You really need to work hard."

Liu Jingting nodded in agreement.

After the bell rang again in class, the students stared at the invitation letter with unsatisfactory satisfaction. When they returned to their seats, they saw Liu Jingting casually put the invitation letter on a stack of books. A complex feeling surged in their hearts. If the paper was for them, how would they treat it? Could it be so calm?

This is a very subtle mentality, similar to the psychology of loving the house and the black hair, because in everyone's eyes, invitations from Wanxiang are very rare and precious things, and Liu Jingting's understatement undoubtedly shows a strange charm in their eyes.

During class, Liu Jingting received a small note. The content of the note was related to "Maggie's Gift", and wrote: "People always say that poor couples are difficult to do. You let everyone see another aspect. The couple in the story is very similar to my parents. I read the story to my mother. She likes it very much and says that the author must be a smart person. Thank you. Liu Jingting! Talking to everyone more. You are obviously a humorous person, why do you always pretend to be an adult? Hehe, I wish you a smooth trip to the river and sea. Remember to treat you if you pass the test."

Liu Jingting looked at the beautiful handwriting on the note. He easily determined that the note was from a girl. He looked up at the teacher on the podium and replied, "You're welcome, you'll treat you if you have passed or not. You won't be drunk."

...

At the end of May, the sat exam score can be checked. Liu Jingting secretly recorded Mihu's examination registration code before and checked the score in advance, with 2,205 points. Plus her previous TOEFL scores, basically meeting the requirements of Mihu's ideal university Columbia University. However, the enrollment conditions for prestigious American universities are relatively strict. In addition to the test scores, there are other aspects of assessment, such as life activities and personal achievements.

Mihu doesn’t have to worry about these things either. She has published books herself and discovered bestsellers when she was an editor. The most outstanding representative is "Gu Yongsheng".

"Remember to write me into the application document. It must be very convincing. If necessary, I can write you another letter of recommendation." After the evening study, Liu Jingting lay on the bed and chatted with Mihu.

"You're thinking too much, I don't plan to mention you at all. The Americans know who you are."

"Can they come and investigate? They have been the best-selling champion for two consecutive years, not a famous martial arts novel author, and come from your disciple. No matter how many years this matter has passed, I can't get rid of it."

“Eluted?”

"Get rid of it? Break it away?"

"Don't show off your words in front of me. It was the one I discovered. By the way, the "Maggie's Gift" you wrote is quite interesting. If translated into English, it should be popular in the United States, which is quite consistent with their culture."

"You have also seen that I am an English expert. I authorize the English copyright of that article to you. If you translate it and publish it, the royalties will be treated as pocket money. In the subsequent competition, I will try to choose the stories of Western countries backgrounds, and you will translate them at that time."

"Are you mistaken? In China, I will help you edit Chinese novels. When you go abroad, you will squeeze my translation labor force. Do you really treat me as your lifelong editor?"

"If you don't be a lifelong editor, you're a lifelong editor-what?"

After a moment of silence, Mihu changed the topic and said: "When will you set off for Jianghai?"

"They informed No. 2 and it would be a day in advance."

"If you finish the final exam, go ahead, go ahead early and do anything more calmly. I probably don't have time to go with you."

"Prepare for the procedures for going abroad?"

"Um."

"I know you might be scolded by you when you say this, but if you don't get the offer from Columbia University in the end, you really don't consider other schools?"

"No, I'll tell my parents. Since I haven't cheated and have prepared for the exam, they can't force me."

“No big problem.”

"Liu Jingting, you, will you go to the United States to see me then? I will ask casually."

"Of course, I heard that Columbia is in Manhattan and is well-known for that place. In the richest areas in the world, you have to go and see it, and Broadway is there too."

"Well, there are Wall Street, Empire State Building, Central Park."

"At that time, you can receive me as a local snake."

In the later conversation, Liu Jingting tried to say relaxed jokes without any trace, making Mi Hu look forward to the upcoming study abroad life. In fact, although Mi Hu has a rebellious mentality and there are still little thoughts hidden deep in her heart that are not worthy of being told by outsiders, she still maintains a certain yearning for the oldest academy on the American continent and the place with all kinds of famous scenery and things in the world. Especially when she thought of walking with Liu Jingting on the streets of Broadway in Manhattan one day, she became more and more excited.

Of course, neither Mihu nor Liu Jingting expected it now. Later, when they met on Broadway, they became opponents. This is a story later.

"Then don't forget to send me the following novel serialization, and send me all the following ones, do you know?"

"Of course, this is already a habit of life."

...

Mihu no longer has to worry about the college entrance examination, and Liu Jingting naturally doesn’t have to worry about the final exam. In recent days, he has gone through the short and medium stories of various themes in his mind. All the works of literary masters such as Maupassant, Chekhov, Tuglev and even Mr. Lu Xun are involved.

On June 25, the first-year high school final exam for Yuehe No. 1 Middle School ended.

On June 26, Liu Jingting returned home and showed his parents the invitation letter from Vientiane Academy. He proved that he was indeed going to participate in the essay competition and proved that this essay competition did have a prize of 500,000. What's even more rare is that Liu's father had also heard of Vientiane Academy, so Liu Jingting's explanation became simple, but the problem also came.

Mother Liu participated in the competition with her son's energy, and cooked chicken soup, pig brain soup and pork rib soup. The father talked to herself earnestly for two days of literature.

On June 27th, Liu Jingting got his sketches drawn by Qiao Keli from editor-in-chief Yao of "Children's Literature". What surprised him was that Qiao Keli, who had only looked at him for a few glances, actually painted himself so vividly. In particular, the unknown smile on his face was also presented very clearly. Liu Jingting thought to himself that after the competition, he would go to the school to visit the art genius.

On June 28th, Liu Jingting boarded the plane to Jianghai again, and Song Kun put down the business in the store and sent it to the airport no matter what.

...

On June 29th, Gong Chengen took a long time out of his busy schedule to meet Liu Jingting. Now, he is an intern at Xingyue TV, working as an internship planning and screenwriter in a screenwriter group of the TV drama department. Most of the other members of the group are students who have just graduated from university or are still in school.

"Or come to our group too. If we join forces, we will definitely be invincible." Although we are no longer wearing famous brand clothes, Gong Chengen's dress is still refreshing and neat, and he has the taste of a rich child.

"Let's talk about this, I want to write a good novel first and go to college."

As a formal employee and an intern, Gong Chengen did not enjoy the treatment of Gong Second Young Master, so he chatted with Liu Jingting for a while, but before he could eat, he hurried back to the company. Before leaving, he remembered to tell Liu Jingting that the legend of the White-haired Witch had entered the filming stage, and the newcomer who was both the male and female protagonists was a student from Jianghai Drama Academy.

In July, Liu Jingting, wearing a white T-shirt and brown cropped shorts, finally stood in front of the gate of Vientiane Academy.

...

Chinese style is the basis and Western style is used. Combine Chinese and Western styles and integrate them into one.

This was Liu Jingting’s first impression of Vientiane Academy. He stood in front of the school gate, adjusted the bag strap on his shoulder, and looked up at the famous school motto of Vientiane: “Knowledge is power.”

A line of note below in Chinese is English: "knowledgepower!"

Liu Jingting walked towards the school gate, but unexpectedly was stopped by the security guard at the door and was released after presenting the invitation letter.

After entering the school, I looked around carefully and wanted to see what special thing about this school that made so many high school students dream of it.

Unlike the feeling when viewing the appearance, the contrast between the layout and architectural style of Vientiane is relatively strong. It feels like a complex of academies and modern popular buildings in ancient Greece, with a rich and profound background, casual, free and energetic.

What is rare is that different buildings can still reflect each other, full of design and no sense of incongruity, vividly confirming the truth of harmony and difference.

Just like an intuitive architectural appreciation meeting.

Then, Liu Jingting saw a low round building with a large wooden board in front of the building with several eye-catching words written on it: "The essay competition is held in this building."
Chapter completed!
