Why don't you believe I'm a reincarnated person?

Chapter 54 Is it only my ancestral grave that's emitting auspicious smoke?

"This school doesn't even have a gate, is it really that casual?"

"They have a gate, but they don't restrict ordinary people from entering and exiting. After all, their mission is to run a university for the people."

"I see, but I feel it's not as prestigious as the top two universities in Beijing with their strict access control..."

The students couldn't help but discuss the layout of their destination universities.

This test was jointly organized by several prestigious universities, and each university selected candidates who met their requirements based on the wishes of the students who participated in the selection test.

Based on the principle of maintaining fair competition, the top two universities in Beijing would certainly not agree to place the test location at their competitor's location. Therefore, Minzu University became the first choice for the event, after all, it is also one of the top five universities in China and has a strong reputation in the industry.

Minzu University's campus isn't large; it doesn't take long to walk around it.

Ye Kai led Shen Jiayi and Chen Xiaoyu to Minzu University's Yishao Pond for a short while before heading to the testing site for this afternoon.

"There's really nothing to see here at Minzu University."

"After we finish the selection tests, I'll take you to Peking University to see the tower, lake, and library, and then we'll go see the lotus pond under the moonlight at Tsinghua University."

Seeing the disappointment on the two women's faces, Ye Kai made a promise to them.

Because it was a selection exam convened on short notice, the process was different from previous ones, being more concise and efficient.

In Ye Kai's opinion, the Chinese and math tests were far too easy.

He now seriously doubts the original purpose of this independent selection exam. It shouldn't be for selecting the most outstanding talents, but rather to open doors for people with certain professional skills.

However, this would naturally reduce the number of college entrance examination admission slots allocated to each province, making it more difficult for students who want to enter the top two universities in Beijing through the normal college entrance examination process to stand out.

As for the interview questions, they are open-ended. Although the questions may seem difficult, if you master these conversational skills, it's not impossible to find loopholes.

Ye Kai's interview question was also quite interesting: Prometheus stole fire, and Suirenshi drilled wood to make fire. Please discuss the different cultural connotations of the two.

"Tsk, that's an easy question!"

Upon seeing this, Ye Kai immediately grasped the core idea behind the question setter.

"Student, have you read the question carefully?"

One of the teachers on the selection test expert group asked Ye Kai.

"Hello teacher, I have read the question carefully."

Ye Kai answered politely.

"Alright, please answer in one minute."

The teacher nodded and made a request of him.

In interviews, the goal is to assess a student's analytical thinking, innovative thinking, and so on. If a student's answer contains even one or two commendable points, they can earn a good score.

"Hello teacher, I have analyzed these two myths from the perspective of the differences between Eastern and Western civilizations. Please feel free to offer your criticism and corrections."

"Prometheus stealing fire carries three layers of cultural significance. First, it represents the spirit of resistance and sacrifice... the image of a giver of civilization... and the tragic nature of fate..."

"The story of Suirenshi drilling wood to make fire carries three cultural connotations: a symbol of wisdom and creativity... an exploration of the origins of civilization... and the concept of harmony between humanity and nature..."

Facing a group of bigwigs, Ye Kai spoke calmly and methodically, presenting his thoughts to everyone and explaining them point by point.

This student is quite good!

Everyone present was immediately enlightened by Ye Kai's explanation.

Among them were admissions officers from major universities in Beijing, all of whom had a deep impression of Ye Kai. They each gave Ye Kai a score in their notebooks, and some even made special marks.

By the time Ye Kai met up with Shen Jiayi and Chen Xiaoyu again, it was already past six in the afternoon.

"My interview question was about the tense doctor-patient relationship, and I was asked to analyze the causes and propose solutions."

"This is such a huge problem. So many experts, scholars, and officials across the country can't solve it, what solutions could I possibly have?"

When Shen Jiayi came out, her eyes were lifeless, clearly deeply affected.

Candidates need to consider this question from multiple perspectives, such as the medical system, the mentality of both patients and doctors, and public opinion, and be able to propose practical solutions, such as strengthening the medical security system and improving doctors' professional ethics and communication skills.

For a high school student, giving advice and making pronouncements is naturally easy, but can this really solve the problem?

Upon hearing this, Ye Kai shook his head repeatedly, thinking to himself that Miss Shen's luck was really bad. It seemed that she should continue to consider her Minzu University, at least she could guarantee that she would become a prominent and outstanding figure there.

"Little Fish, what were your interview questions?"

Ye Kai then turned to Chen Xiaoyu and asked about her situation.

"Wow--"

Chen Xiaoyu burst into tears.

"He asked me what neutrinos were, and then said they were some kind of ghost particle... You know... I'm terrified of ghosts..."

While crying, Chen Xiaoyu vented her dissatisfaction to Ye Kai.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiayi went over and hugged Chen Xiaoyu, thinking to herself that there were people with even worse luck than her. At least she knew what questions she had to answer, but Xiaoyu's luck had completely collapsed.

Tsk!

It seems I'm the only one whose ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke!

Ye Kai was also speechless at this moment.

This can only be blamed on Chen Xiaoyu's lack of attention to social science news, which is why he got stuck on the term neutrino.

The concept of neutrinos has been proposed before, but empirical evidence has not been obtained. This year, however, China has made world-leading progress in the Daya Bay experiment, completing an experiment on neutrino oscillation effects.

This also means that the capabilities of relevant laboratories in China are not far from the day when they can capture neutrinos.

If Chen Xiaoyu had paid any attention to the reports on this topic, he wouldn't have mistaken this thing for a real ghost.

However, he couldn't help but complain in his heart that the experts who set the questions for the independent enrollment selection process really dared to put anything into the question bank.

Both women were in a bad mood and had no interest in attending the welcome dinner that Director Wu had prepared for them that evening, which Director Wu found quite regrettable.

There's really no need to be so discouraged.

"Xiaoyu, you could have gotten into Tsinghua University through the regular entrance exam. Why are you so fixated on this independent admission process? Isn't it better to get in honestly and openly than to resort to underhanded tactics like trying to do artistic gymnastics?"

"Jiajia, you're the same. Even if you can't get into Tsinghua University or go to Weiming Lake, Minzu University is also a great place. Our schools aren't far apart, and the academic pressure is even less."

"I'll treat you guys to crayfish on Guijie Street tonight! Lots of food, all you can eat, plus drinks!"

Ye Kai used all his charm and finally managed to coax the two women back to their confidence, and they agreed to go with him to see the night view of the capital.

"Excuse me, is Shen Jiayi here?"

Suddenly, a slightly magnetic male voice rang out.
