The food and decorations at the dinner party were not particularly spectacular, but the standards for the people present were high.


Including School Head Xu Jian, there were only five academics there. The leader of the Suzhou Department of Science and Technology was also there.


Lu Zhou looked at the two acquaintances among these people. One is Secretary Liu of Jin Ling, the other is former Chief Designer of China's lunar exploration project, Professor Ren Changming at Yan University.


It was clear that the professor was disappointed that Lu Zhou turned down his offer to study at Yan University. He spoke to Lu Zhou for a long time before letting him go.


Secretary Liu did not talk much to Lu Zhou, he only greeted him with a smile. Both are not from the same circle so they do not have the same topic. Even their status and level were different. Not to mention, Lu Zhou had previously rejected his offer of the Top Ten Chinese Youth.


During the meal, the students sat at three tables while the teachers sat at the other two tables. The leaders took one table.


There were eleven people on Lu Zhou's desk.


Originally there were only ten chairs and ten pairs of chopsticks on this table, but the student union president moved another chair. As a foolish student, he sat next to the genius of the liberal arts department.


Regardless, the union president is adept at social interaction. Although he did not have a common topic with geniuses, he still managed to communicate with them. At the same time, he did not look too enthusiastic or annoying.


The food had yet to arrive, but he had already gone around the table and added everyone's WeChat.


Lu Zhou had always thought that the student union was useless, but he had since changed his opinion. He realized that being president of a student union would improve one's emotional and social skills.


Skills are still important.


However, Lu Zhou did not pay much attention to the student union president. Instead, his attention was on the students from the physics department.


This student is a fourth year student. Apparently, he was offered to study his master and PhD at the Chinese Academy Laboratory of Quantum Information. He has published two SCI theses in the field of quantum information condensed matter physics and is considered an impressive genius.


Since Lu Zhou was intending to obtain a degree in physics as well, then this fellow asked him a few questions.


"You're also planning on majoring in physics?"


Lu Zhou smiled and asked, "Yes, do you have any advice?"


Shocked, Zhang Shikun looked at Lu Zhou before he said, "I'm not too familiar with the main dual system. But I know some physics, so I can give you some advice. My field is condensed matter physics, especially about quantum computing. If you are interested in this field, you should read about quantum mechanics, quantum field theory and many-body quantum theory. There are several open MIT courses on this subject, I will send them to your WeChat. ”


Lu Zhou, "Thank you very much!"


"Either. Maybe someday I will need your help, ” Zhang Shikun said with a smile. He continued, “I study quantum information science, which requires a high level of mathematics. Particularly for attachment phase transitions and topologies. The entanglement itself is difficult to measure directly through experimentation, so you need a strong mathematical background to decipher the experiment. If you are interested in quantum information science, we will have many opportunities to talk together in the future. "


Suddenly, a man sitting next to Lu Zhou said, "Why are you guys still talking about academics? How about we sing later? ”


The person's name was Li Haoran.


He was in the chemistry department, studying polymer materials.


"I'm not good at singing," Lu Zhou said subtly as he declined the invitation. He knew that his singing was terrible.


Zhang Shikun also shook his head as he said, "I should go to the lab later, but you guys have fun."


"Wow, all of you are working so hard, I feel the pressure as well," Li Haoran said as he shook his head. He then turned to Lu Zhou and said, “Students, I've read your thesis. The paper was about building a mathematical model for infrared spectroscopic data. How do you handle it? Can you teach me?"


Lu Zhou smiled and said, "This. I just think about it randomly? ”


Li Haoran sighed and said, “Ah, you are a genius once. Mathematics is magic to me. ”


Lu Zhou smiled and did not respond.


He can't answer.


It was true that he had just come up with the idea.


So he doesn't know what to say.


...


Soon, the first TOEFL 2015 test began on schedule.


Lu Zhou arrived at the exam site and signed a confidentiality agreement. He then placed his belongings in the locker and casually walked into the exam room before he started the exam at 8:30 a.m.


The TOEFL is divided into four parts. Reading, listening, speaking, and writing.


When Lu Zhou received the exam paper, he scanned the questions before he quickly began to write.


8000 Vocabulary words for TOEFL sound scary, but it's not too difficult. Lu Zhou had experience translating theses so this was easy for him.


Not to mention, he had spent over half a month preparing for this exam.


He then quickly completed four reading questions and put down the questioner. After which, he sat quietly while waiting for the listening passage to begin.


Out of boredom, he began to look at the other exam candidates.


There was a man biting a pen, and he was still pondering the first reading question.


A beautiful girl was sitting a little far away, and she looked to be 12 or 13 years old. He answered the question carefully.


Why did he take the test? He looks very young.


Lu Zhou stuck out his tongue as he was slightly astonished.


He could not understand the reason behind the rich children ...


After 20 minutes of answering questions, and an hour of doing nothing, the listening session finally arrived. Lu Zhou took it as a challenge.


But it's just a small challenge.


The speed of the test was similar to the speed of listening to TPO. Lu Zhou was sure that he was listening properly, and answered every question easily.


After the listening section is over, there is a 10-minute break.


Lu Zhou then left the examination room and drank some water before going to the bathroom to urinate.


By the time he returned to the examination hall, it had already become the hardest part of the exam - Speaking.


Six questions for a total of 20 minutes of time given.


When Lu Zhou saw the first question, he smiled.


What is the most important feature of a good leader? Is this paper talking about me?


Lu Zhou cleared his throat and spoke into the microphone.


“Good leaders should have vision. Effective leaders and their organizations have agendas ... "


His pronunciation was clear and since he spoke appropriately, it must have been fine.


The speaking section tests a person's pronunciation, not vocabulary.


Lu Zhou did a self-evaluation and although he probably won't get the full marks, but 29 grades shouldn't be a problem!


After the exam speaks, the writing section begins immediately.


This part was the easiest for Lu Zhou.


How can this be more difficult than a thesis?


Lu Zhou quickly wrote the essay and in the end, he raised his hand to the people who were inside the plane. The invigilator came and let Lu Zhou go. He then walked with his back straight and proudly left the examination hall.
