Chapter 270： Stanford alumni?

"I'm the President of the University ( Find the latest chapter!

Zhu Chen was born in an inland village. His parents were farmers who graduated from primary school. He had no major education.

Growing up in this kind of family, he helped out in the fields during the summer when other kids played games and played around. Planting seedlings, weeding, cutting rice, and threshing, he will do all these.

Perhaps it is precisely because of these experiences that Zhu Chen matured earlier than his peers since he was a child. He will not spend all his time playing, but studying, and with his aptitude and intelligence, his grades are also outstanding.

What impressed him most was what the junior high school Chinese teacher said when he opened a small stove for him alone.

"Zhu Chen, the teacher knows that you mature earlier than other classmates, and you also know your family environment. If you don't study hard or go to university, you can only work in a factory and rely on your physical strength to make money all your life. Farmers like us, The only way out is to study! Only by getting admitted to university can we change our destiny! For those students from superior backgrounds, the college entrance examination is just a relatively important test, but for us, the college entrance examination is like a gantry, and we all It's a carp, only by jumping over the dragon's head can we change our destiny!"

He seemed to understand what he said.

But he knows that he only needs to study hard, and to read well, only in this way can he live a good life, he wants to live a day of eating meat, and he wants his parents to stop getting up early and staying late just to make a little bit of money money……

Since junior high school, he has worked hard, and every time he takes the exam, he is the first in the grade. In the college entrance examination, he was admitted to Tsinghua University as the city's top science student. He still did not relax in his studies. Finally, he successfully got an offer from Stanford University and came to this world's top famous school to study for a doctorate.

Academically, he is a scholar; but in love, he is a rookie.

Looking at the pretty girl in front of him, Zhu Chen felt a little unnatural.

"I-I'm almost feeling better, I'm going to be discharged from the hospital..."

"Discharged?" Wang Yue glanced at him, remembered what he asked the doctor when he came over, and asked, "I asked the doctor when I came, and he said that the hospital is okay, but it's better to rest for two days, you sure don't need to stay any longer. a while?"

"No." After Zhu Chen's eyes fell on Wang Yue's face, he immediately moved away.

Noticing Zhu Chen's wandering eyes, Wang Yue asked curiously, "Hey, are your eyes uncomfortable? Why do you keep moving?"

"no……"

"Really?" Wang Yue took two steps forward, stretched his head forward, and Zhu Chen's head hurried to the left.

"It's not appropriate to be alone in the same room."

"Aren't you shy?"

"no……"

"You haven't been in love, have you?"

"Why should I tell you?"

"That seems to be gone." Wang Yue covered her mouth and smiled, a bright moon seemed to rise in her eyes.

With the free spirit of Stanford, it's incredible to be single.

"I don't want to tell you, I'm going to be discharged from the hospital!" Zhu Chen pulled out the infusion tube in his hand, got up directly, and passed Wang Yue with a straight face.

Of course, he has never been in a relationship, and he spends all his time studying, and has no time to chase girls.

Not to mention that it costs money to fall in love, and there are not many girls who can AA.

"Wait a minute, I'll be with you." Wang Yue chased after him.

Half an hour later, at the door of the hospital.

Wang Yue and Zhu Chen stood side by side.

"Where are you going?" Wang Yue stared at Zhu Chen intently.

She found an interesting thing, as long as she stared at each other, the other party's face would turn red.

Zhu Chen, who was stared at by the other party's bold eyes, said awkwardly, "I want to go back to school." Wang Yue asked, "Back to school? MIT?"

Zhu Chen had a black line, "No, why am I going to MIT?"

"Isn't Chen Hao from MIT? His EQ is as low as yours, and I think he fits well with MIT like your nerd image," Wang Yue said after analysis.

Bathed in the long-lost sunshine, Zhu Chen said helplessly, "I'm from Stanford..."

"Really?" Wang Yue exclaimed, seemingly surprised.

"Of course it's true... I just graduated with a Ph.D. this year, and my supervisor is Professor Lamport." Zhu Chen scratched his head, not understanding why the other party was surprised.

"Hello, senior~" Wang Yuezhan smiled and said softly, "I am from a business school and I am studying for a Ph.D. in economics."

Zhu Chen didn't expect to be an alumnus.

His eyes widened immediately, a little surprised, and he stammered: "Is it such a coincidence?"

Wang Yue was also quite surprised, but she was still very happy to meet the alumni. She raised the car key in her hand and said with a smile, "Senior, it just so happens that I have to go back to school, so shall I give you a ride?"

"This..." Zhu Chen hesitated a bit, looking for a taxi around, "Otherwise, you can go first, I'll take a taxi."

"What kind of car are you taking? We've all stopped by, let's go!" Wang Yuexing's eyes widened, and she directly pulled Zhu Chen into the car.

The car is driving in Silicon Valley.

The community hospital where Zhu Chen lives is very close to Stanford University and can be reached in less than an hour by car.

Because Stanford is located in Silicon Valley, it can even be said that Silicon Valley started at Stanford.

The historical origin of this also involves an enlightened president in the history of Stanford. He leased or sold a large area belonging to Stanford University to companies to build factories and offices at prices far below the market price, in exchange for these companies. Priority should be given to Stanford students when recruiting in the future.

Decades have passed, and Silicon Valley itself is no longer Stanford's land, but all Silicon Valley companies prioritize Stanford when recruiting students. Moreover, since the first small and medium-sized companies settled around Stanford, it has formed the strongest entrepreneurial atmosphere in the world. These countless companies in Silicon Valley provide Stanford students with a steady stream of internships and job opportunities.

There are also many famous company founders who went out from Stanford University. Such as: Google, Yahoo, Cisco, Hewlett-Packard, Nike, Sun Computer, etc. The total capital of these companies is equivalent to the tenth largest economy in the world.

Thirty minutes later.

Stanford University is not like a domestic school. It does not have a solemn and majestic gate. After passing through the Palm Avenue, which is lined with hundreds of tall palm trees, you enter the campus.

Stanford's campus is particularly large, covering an area of ​​8,180 acres (the second largest campus in the United States). Like a small town, you can see beach volleyball courts, bookstores, fountains, etc. along the road.

Crossing the large grass, you can see Stanford's iconic Hoover Tower from the left, and the main building of the Spanish quadrangle stands in front of it, with khaki stone walls and red roofs on both sides. The corridors are connected, solemn and atmospheric.

Entering from the front of the main building, after passing a piece of grass, you will reach the MainQuad surrounded by the main building, a large rectangular square that can accommodate thousands or even tens of thousands of people.

After leaving for more than three months, Zhu Chen felt a little emotional when he returned to campus.

Through the car window, the Hoover Tower can be vaguely seen. I remember every time I walk on the way back at night, the brightest light comes from the Hoover Tower.

Wang Yue in the driver's seat glanced at Zhu Chen and asked, "Senior, where are you going?"

Zhu Chen, who came back to his senses, simply said, "The Engineering College Building will do."

"Okay, we'll be there soon." Wang Yue pursed her lips, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Senior, is there something wrong with your school this time?"

After speaking, she added: "Well, maybe I can still help."

""

This is the Engineering College Building, we call it Huang. The entire engineering building is a brick structure, but the appearance will be very new. Many buildings in the school are named after the people who donated the buildings. One of my classmates met Huang himself in the building of the School of Engineering. The first floor of the building is a café, surrounded by many dining tables. At noon, there will be many students discussing and studying at the dining table, in the corridor or even sitting on the stairs. The second floor is the library and discussion classrooms. There is a large conference room on the third floor, where the entrance ceremony is held.

Standing on the first floor of the college building, you can see a corner of each small classroom. The study room can always be filled with more or less students. Most of the classrooms are surrounded by transparent glass walls, creating a free and open academic atmosphere. Looking down, is the underground laboratory. This section is a discussion area. Teaching assistants will sometimes answer questions here, and students will also come to do homework and hand in homework. Surprisingly, the negative second floor of each engineering college is connected.
