Riding the wind of rebirth

Mai Xiaomiao smiled and said, "In fact, NYU also has a branch campus in Long Island, and it's not so crowded there."

When the Beetle drove to the edge of the square park and started to circle, Zhou Zhi began to praise again: "You NYU are a bit overbearing. Washington Square Park has basically become your inner courtyard."

Indeed, the buildings surrounding the small park are almost all NYU’s various colleges and buildings, while the outer blocks are almost all various places serving the university’s teachers and students.

"Stop making trouble and look for a parking space." Mai Xiaomiao ordered Zhou Zhi.

Land is very expensive here and there seems to be very little space. Just then, a few young people who looked like college students were about to ride their bicycles. When they saw Mai Xiaomiao's cute bike and lovely person, they greeted her and made room for her to park.

Seeing that Mai Xiaomiao was a little unskilled, the college students enthusiastically helped to direct the car until Mai Xiaomiao parked the car.

After getting out of the car and looking around, Zhou Zhi found himself in the southeast corner of the park. In addition to Washington Square Park in front of him, there was the library on the left, the Steinhardt School of Human Development on the right, and the Stern School of Business behind him.

There are several student apartments between the Business School and the School of Human Development. As you can imagine, these are also the most expensive student apartments.

Seeing Mai Xiaomiao getting off the bike and holding Zhou Zhi's hand, several college students whistled happily. After Zhou Zhi and Mai Xiaomiao thanked them, they happily rode away on their bikes.

College students all over the world seem to have this kind of personality. Zhou Zhi couldn't help but laugh: "Is this the personality of a future millionaire?"

Mai Xiaomiao also agreed: "You know what, even if not all of them can become millionaires, they are the group with the highest probability of becoming millionaires."

This is absolutely true. Stern School of Business has long been ranked among the top ten in the world, and its finance subject has long been ranked first in the world. The famous Wall Street is just across the street from the school. After graduation, many students from the school go to work in large financial companies and investment banks across the street, such as Chase Manhattan, Goldman Sachs, Dror's Associates, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan Chase. It is not that difficult to become a millionaire.

Of course, there are already countless successful alumni who serve as role models to inspire business school students: Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, Executive Director of the New York Stock Exchange and President of Lehman Brothers Investment Bank Holding Company Richard Fuld, Nasdaq CEO and President Robert Greifeld, American Express Financial Corporation Chairman Harvey Golub, Credit Suisse First Boston Chairman Allen Wheat, Trust Commercial Bank President Jeffrey Koo, etc., almost all of them are figures who can shake the financial circle if they stomp their feet.

The college's faculty, teaching level and off-campus training are all first-rate. Students can not only learn financial knowledge, but many professors are themselves trendsetters in the financial industry, or are masters with outstanding academic achievements, including scholars who have won the Nobel Prize in Economics.

Listening to Mai Xiaomiao's introduction, Zhou Zhi looked at the general decoration of the college and felt that the unremarkable small building against the background of skyscrapers really had a hidden flavor.

"Stern's MBA program is the most difficult. The school has a rule called the 35 percent rule," said Mai Xiaomiao. "No matter how good everyone's grades are, only 35 percent of the students in a class can get A and A+."

"Isn't this a bit too unfair?" Zhou Zhi said in confusion, "I taught a course on oracle bone appreciation. As long as the students attended the exam and answered the simple test correctly, I gave them full marks."

"What a joke! They are giving me face by coming to my class."

Xiao Miao almost laughed so hard: "Impossible, I've listened to your lectures, they were very interesting, how is it possible that no one listened?"

"I actually think it's fun, and the effect of the class is not bad, but there are not many people who are willing to sit on the bench and do research." Zhou Zhi said helplessly: "Maybe this is the difference between major and interest science popularization. After all, the future employment prospects of doing that are too narrow."

"It's different here." Mai Xiaomiao said, "Students here have completely controllable expectations of getting a high salary, but the prerequisite is that they have to out-compete others in their studies to enter the top companies. Thirty-five percent of A's mean that you need to be in the top 20 in a class of 65 to have a better chance." "You shouldn't have to worry about your studies." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "You're already ahead in your studies, so you're qualified to be a teacher."

"You too?" Mai Xiaomiao said without showing any weakness: "It's not like I don't know your background. You don't have to pretend to be modest in front of me."

As they were talking, the two had already arrived at the door of a teaching and research office. There was a nameplate on the door with an English introduction - Data Strategy Statistical Analysis, Jeffrey Mai.

"Is this your father's name?" Zhou Zhi asked Mai Xiaomiao.

"Well, my father's Chinese name is Mai Jeff, and my mother's name is Tang Xinyue, Louise Tang."

Zhou Zhi quickly memorized these names several times in his mind, sharpening his sword before the battle, even if it is not bright, it will still shine.

I knocked on the door, and a young man wearing thick glasses opened the door. He looked Indian and asked in a thick accent, "Who are you looking for?"

“Karam!” Mai Xiaomiao punched the young man on the shoulder in a stern tone, “Don’t you recognize me?!”

"Ahh..." Karam was shocked. "It's Lily?! Lily is it really you?! Did you meet the fairy in China, the one who turned Cinderella into a princess?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Where is my father?" Mai Xiaomiao asked.

"The professor is still teaching," Karam said, "He didn't tell me you would come back."

"I didn't tell him either." Mai Xiaomiao said with a smile, "Prepare a surprise for him. Of course, it's not ruled out that he might be frightened."

"He will be so happy." Kalam invited, "Let's go in and wait for the professor. Who is this?"

"This is my companion, you can just call him George." Mai Xiaomiao said: "Elbow, this is my father's assistant Karam."

“Come in, come in.” Kalam invited the two into the room and shouted happily to the room: “Look, who’s here?!”

"Oh my God! Lily! Oh, dear, you have changed so much! You have become an oriental beauty!" A girl rushed over and hugged Mai Xiaomiao: "I heard that you went to China after completing your doctoral thesis? You made us all very worried, worried that it would be unsafe for you to go there without vaccination. Oh, how did you become so beautiful?! It's incredible!"

Zhou Zhi secretly complained when he heard this. What do you mean by vaccination? According to his experience in the previous life, it seems that various vaccines are needed before going to Africa or the tropical rain forests of South America, because many infectious diseases that have disappeared in other areas are still rampant in these two places.

But the enthusiastic girl in front of me obviously didn't know much about geography, and she regarded China as the same as those two places. (End of this chapter)
