Gu Nianzhi's Bachelor's thesis had been meticulously edited by He Zhichu, and her own abilities were outstanding. Therefore, she had been invincible during the oral defense. The oral defense committee had unanimously approved it and named it the best thesis among the graduating seniors in the Faculty of Law.
Gu Nianzhi wasn't surprised at all.
To her, there was no suspense in the defense. She was focused on preparing for He Zhichu's exam.
This exam would determine whether or not she could get one of the two internships at the US Congress.
Gu Nianzhi regretted not agreeing right away at first, so she had to work hard to prepare for the exam.
But after reading all the books He Zhichu assigned on American law and the structure of Congress, she understood He Zhichu's intentions and thought it was better to take the exam.
At least it would be mandatory, so she could familiarize herself with the basic essentials of American law and the legal structure of the US Congress in a short period of time.
On June 15th, Gu Nianzhi was so busy she only had breakfast.
She came out of the defense in the law faculty's conference room in the morning and took He Zhichu's exam in the afternoon.
He Zhichu's exam format was very unique.
It wasn't an exam paper, but a live question-and-answer session. It simulated the format of a US Congress meeting, then combined all kinds of relevant knowledge to test their grasp of knowledge and adaptability.
He Zhichu, who was in charge of the exam, was in the United States. Other than Gu Nianzhi, everyone else was in B City.
Therefore, the exam was conducted through a remote video conference.
Gu Nianzhi turned on her computer and connected to the exam website.
He Zhichu's handsome face appeared on the computer screen.
A pair of shimmering, sultry eyes stared straight out from the screen. It was shocking to see through someone's heart.
Gu Nianzhi sighed inwardly. A person with such eyes should be a judge, not a lawyer.
No matter how stubborn a criminal was, they would immediately confess when they were stared at by those eyes.
"Before the exam begins, I'll take attendance." He Zhichu's cool voice came through the earpiece, and Gu Nianzhi quickly sat up straight. When she heard her name, she answered crisply, "Here."
He Zhichu sat alone in his large office. With a light click of the mouse, he enlarged Gu Nianzhi's profile picture on the screen. The other 37 candidates' profiles became little black dots on the screen …
"Today's exam, the first question: How does the US Congress propose? You can enter your answer in the dialog box without speaking. Time limit: one minute. "
With such a short period of time, the examinees wouldn't even have enough time to search for information.
Gu Nianzhi easily answered all the general questions and entered the debate stage.
This was not a problem for Gu Nianzhi. She had always been eloquent and good at finding loopholes in people's words.
Even though she was facing a PhD student who was several levels higher than her, she was not afraid at all.
Her words were like pearls of laughter. Although her words were sharp and sharp, the speed of her speech was neither fast nor slow, and her voice was pleasant to listen to. Unexpectedly, the person who was rebutted did not feel uncomfortable.
Unknowingly, she had set the pace for the whole debate.
The smile on He Zhichu's face grew wider. Joy rose from the bottom of his heart and melted into the depths of his shimmering eyes.
Very quickly, three hours passed, and this difficult exam finally came to an end.
The examinees who participated in the exam all collapsed in front of the camera. They were extremely tired.
He Zhichu replied dryly, "You can't even stand this level of intensity? Once the US Congress is in session, it's normal for them to work intensively for seven to eight days to pass a bill. "
Everyone hurriedly sat down, not daring to relax.
After the exam, they had to wait for the results.
However, the examinees who participated in the exam all knew that one of the two spots would definitely be given to their master's junior, Gu Nianzhi.
Because her performance on the exam was so eye-catching, the PhD students like them had to concede defeat.
As for who the other spot would be given to, it was none of Gu Nianzhi's business.
In fact, Gu Nianzhi received a text from He Zhichu within ten minutes of the exam. "Congratulations, you're preparing to go to the United States."
Gu Nianzhi was so happy that she almost jumped up.
She didn't even have time to turn off the camera. She raised her fist and ran around the dorm, screaming.
Because she had to take the remote video exam, the other three people in the dorm consciously went out and hadn't returned yet.
At that moment, Gu Nianzhi was the only one in the dorm.
It was time for her to let loose.
He Zhichu saw Gu Nianzhi's elated expression from the other side of the world. He rested his chin on his desk with both hands and smiled slightly.
He closed the other examinees' webpages and left Gu Nianzhi alone. When she was done, he said slowly, "Nianzhi, your … camera is still on."
He Zhichu's voice came from the laptop's microphone, and Gu Nianzhi was instantly embarrassed.
She walked back to the desk awkwardly and saw He Zhichu's handsome face on the computer screen, as well as the teasing look in his eyes. She closed her eyes and reached out to close the laptop with a click.
Soon, her cell phone rang.
Gu Nianzhi took it and saw it was an overseas number.
She swiped open the phone. "Hi?"
"Nianzhi, why did you suddenly disconnect?" It was He Zhichu's clear voice.
Gu Nianzhi was speechless. He must be doing this on purpose, right?!
"Why aren't you saying anything?" He Zhichu asked again. "Is your visa ready? When can you come over? "
Gu Nianzhi sighed in relief. She had been so embarrassed just now.
Fortunately, He Zhichu knew his limits and didn't continue to tease her.
"The passport is ready, but I can only get the visa after you give me a certificate," Gu Nianzhi said honestly. "If I only have a tourist visa, I can't intern at the US Congress."
He Zhichu nodded. "Don't worry about that. Your visa documents will be sent over immediately. Apply for an F1 student visa, and when you come over, I'll get you an OPT. That way, you can intern at the US Congress."
"Thank you, Professor He." Gu Nianzhi thanked him politely and hung up.
That day, other than making a fool of herself in front of He Zhichu, Gu Nianzhi was very satisfied with everything else.
She had finished her thesis defense and passed He Zhichu's exam. In theory, she was already He Zhichu's disciple.
For her, her undergraduate life had ended on this day.
The passport was ready, and the next step was to book a visa at the US Consulate.
He Zhichu's documents were sent out quickly, and by the weekend, Gu Nianzhi had already received an F1 student visa to the US.
He Zhichu was very anxious.
Knowing that she had received her visa, he immediately ordered Wen Shouyi to buy plane tickets for her and another PhD student for them to fly to the US on June 20th.
Because they had F1 student visas, He Zhichu, as the sponsor professor, had to give them a certain amount of credits to fulfill the visa requirements.
Yin Shixiong didn't expect them to be so anxious.
After communicating with Huo Shaoheng, he packed his luggage and went to the US with Gu Nianzhi.
…
At the C City International Airport, Mei Xiawen held Gu Nianzhi's hand reluctantly. "You'll come back, right?"
"Of course I'll come back. I'll only be going for half a year. I'll be going to B University next spring. "Gu Nianzhi comforted him with a smile." Don't think too much about it. It's so easy to keep in touch now, remember to keep in touch. "
Mei Xiawen nodded and walked Gu Nianzhi to the security gate.
Yin Shixiong didn't stop him. He followed at a moderate distance and didn't reveal his identity.
Mei Xiawen watched Gu Nianzhi's figure disappear through the security gate before he reluctantly turned to leave.
However, before he could walk out of the departure lounge, he saw a figure that had once haunted his dreams slowly pushing a luggage cart towards him from another exit.
Mei Xiawen froze.
After a long while, he finally snapped back to reality.
The woman pushing the luggage stood in front of him and called out in surprise. "Xiawen? Why are you here?! I'm so happy to see you as soon as I return! "
It was his first girlfriend, Jiang Hongcha.
