Chapter 928: Dede
Dude is a white old man who looks very shrewd. Anyone who can become the director of international administration at Harvard is naturally one of the senior elites.
He came to her door in a friendly manner, sat in front of Tang Tang, and said earnestly, "Ms. Newman, I am the International Administrative Director of Harvard Business School. I am mainly responsible for the relevant affairs of international exchange students on campus."
"Teacher Dude," Tang Tang nodded gently, sat on the chair in the class, and smiled gently, "Do you prefer coffee or tea?"
Dude smiled politely and said, "Please give me a latte, thank you."
After a while, Tang Xiao brought coffee and some desserts.
Smelling the aroma of mellow coffee, Du De's slight nervousness dissipated a lot.
He really didn't expect that this exchange student from China could give them such a big surprise.
I originally thought that she was just an exchange student from a wealthy family, and at most had a little influence internationally, but not to the point where Harvard needed to pay much attention to her.
But before school even started, she had already made them drop their jaws.
Professor Edwin Sterling appointed her as a special assistant in his laboratory.
She was just an undergraduate student in the business school! She wasn't even in the physics department.
After learning that she actually lived in Beacon Hill and even bought Edwin's villa, no matter what the school thought, Dude had already directly elevated the importance of the girl in front of him.
Hey! Who knows, maybe this girl from Italy and China will become an influential person in the US in the future!
So Dude threw aside all his previous reserve towards his students, took out a brand new iPad from his bag, and turned it on.
He deliberately opened all the search interfaces on the iPad and logged into his account before placing it in front of Tang Tang.
Dude was friendly and concerned, "Ms. Newkman, have you decided on a major?"
He looked at Tang Tang and said meaningfully, "Every year during the course selection season, many students feel confused about the various courses and different ways of earning credits..."
"And as I communicated in yesterday's email, my role is to answer students' questions."
But it is absolutely impossible for Du De to come to Tang Tang in person and provide 1v1 course selection guidance like it is now.
"I recommend that you choose... this course and..."
Dude explained each course in detail to Tang Tang, and on the iPad screen, the lecturer information behind each course was also completely sorted out.
Oh, and there are even various student ratings in it. Apparently Harvard is quite liberal in this regard.
Tang Tang watched Du De choose the next course. Without thinking too much, he pointed at a few courses with his fingertips and said, "I don't think these courses are necessary."
Du De looked through the courses that Tang Tang rejected. They were all relatively basic, but the systems were completely different from those of China's courses.
He looked at Tang Tang cautiously and said hesitantly, "Ms. Newman, although you are excellent, many basic courses at Harvard are different from those in China..."
"But the core theories are all common," Tang Tang's fingertips slid across the iPad, adding a few audit courses in the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Physics.
"I own three companies with more than 10,000 employees," Tang Tang said casually. "I can already fly. Do I still need to learn how to flap my wings?"
Du De was stunned for a moment, and finally remembered that the girl in front of him, who seemed younger in the eyes of the American people, was not one of the young elite students in the academy.
She is the deserving owner of several companies, and has even experienced assassinations and disappearances, and participated in political events in Italy...
Du De reflected on himself and apologized to Tang Tang.
He quickly compensated Tang Tang with some new information.
"The first year at Harvard is usually mandatory for one year of living in the dormitory," Dude said, "Students have to draw lots to get an apartment, but since Miss Newkman is a student on the Z list..."
"So Miss Newkman can make an exception and choose her own accommodation, and your freshman accommodation apartment will still be allocated according to the system."
"You can also choose to cancel your apartment on campus, but I don't recommend it," Dude said, "You can go back to the apartment for a nap sometimes."
For ordinary people, perhaps the accommodation fee of more than 20 yuan a year is not cheap. It is better to save as much as possible and live in a shared room off campus.
But for Tang Tang, this little money doesn't matter. What she values more is convenience.
So Tang Tang nodded casually and said, "Then stay."
“In addition, on Friday night of the week before school starts, the Dean’s Dinner of the School of Business will be held for all freshmen.”
"The venue is Spangler Hall at Harvard Business School... An invitation letter will be sent to you in a while. The specific arrangements for the banquet will be included in the invitation letter."
"Thank you, Mr. Dude," Tang Tang said with a polite smile, "and thank you for the school's concern. I have a very good impression of Harvard... I also mentioned it when I was chatting with Professor Edwin before."
“Harvard is an extremely excellent school and the cradle of countless talents in the United States. I am also looking forward to my life at Harvard.”
After getting Tang Tang's affirmative answer, Du De was obviously relieved.
Judging from the reaction of this noble girl in front of me, she must be a student with a good personality...
Thinking of the group of gifted students and upper-class elites with different personalities in the student union, I have to mention that the calm and elegant girl in front of me is obviously more appealing.
……
A few days before the Dean's dinner, Feng Lan sent a dinner dress to Tang Tang via a special plane.
The Dean's Dinner is actually a more ceremonial and refined opening ceremony.
It just follows the Western lineage and adds other environments such as dances and dinners.
As the cradle of the world's top elites, Harvard naturally has extremely strict requirements on various etiquette.
The upper class is often committed to class distinction, so it sets up countless rules and regulations to divide different classes and circles.
Various etiquette rules are one of them.
When the elites jointly protect their own class and circle, they are protecting their own interests.
And most importantly, Harvard is a university, and it is the first step for countless young elites to receive higher education, expand their network, and enter the capitalist society.
Therefore, here, most interactions between people are based on interests.
The only difference between the United States and China is the blatant and undisguised promotion of capital and wealth.
The more high-profile and brilliant you are, the more followers you will have.
