Chapter 822 Studying at Columbia University
Where did Zhuang Zhoucheng drive?
I went to the cinema. I make time every night to watch a movie recently.
I watch both romance films and art films.
The first time I watched a romance movie, I really couldn't get on with it. His brain wasn't wired for all that romance.
After forcing myself to watch one or two movies, I could barely hear the dialogues of the characters in the movies.
This is what rational people, especially rational men, do not have a sense of empathy.
Zhuang Zhoucheng wants to make himself warm and passionate, not the cold and aloof person who makes people retreat at the sight of him.
At his age, there is no need for him to be so cruel.
Look at what the male protagonists in romantic movies do, how they treat love, how they treat their girlfriends and wives. They are preparing to win back their ex-wives.
Zhuang Zhoucheng's goal is to be moved by other people's emotions when watching movies. It is basically impossible for him to be moved to tears with those young girls in the cinema. This can be regarded as a relatively reasonable goal for himself.

Huo Yan was studying at Columbia University and lived on campus during his first semester.
You should know that Columbia University is really praised in China. It is one of the Ivy League universities in the United States, not to mention it. The key point is that this piece of Feng Shui treasure land has produced 97 Nobel Prize winners, three US presidents, 20 billionaires, 26 Oscar winners, and 29 US state governors.
The most important point in this series of amazing statistics is that Obama and Clinton graduated from here...
awesome!
There are also many famous people in China who came out of these major universities, such as Hu Shi, Xu Zhimo, Kai-Fu Lee, Yang Lan, etc.
"Milk Tea Sister" and Wang Leehom's girlfriend can barely be counted, anyway, they are all awesome in various ways.
Before coming to Columbia University, Huo Yan was filled with anxiety and it was inevitable that he lacked confidence.
Her heart beat faster before arriving at school, but after arriving, the quietness of the campus gradually calmed her down.
At least the moment she stepped into the campus, her heart was no longer restless and returned to its dead silence.
The major Huo Yan applied for, Advanced Architectural Science and Engineering Research and Application, was the most important major in the Department of Architecture. Of course, the tuition alone was ten US dollars, plus food and accommodation, she would have to spend over a million RMB for this academic year.
The problem is that the consumption level in the United States is so high that even if she drinks water every day, it will cost her a lot.
The design fee for the "Painting Soul" gallery designed for Guan Jiaren was 300,000 yuan, which was the upper limit for a newcomer like her.
If I use this money to study abroad, well, there will be nothing left!
The tuition fee is five or six hundred thousand, and it is not enough for her.
She threw away all her so-called backbone and pride. She didn't want to spend the money Zhuang Zhoucheng left for her, but at this critical moment, she still spent it.
There is no way she can not spend it. Who can she ask for millions of dollars in tuition and living expenses?
After going abroad, looking back at my former self, I was stupid, and I am still stupid.
I have become more open-minded. Life is like this. It is up to you to decide how to live your life.
About two months after Huo Yan arrived in the United States, she asked Ali to sell the villa that Zhuang Zhoucheng left to her.
Haiyin Island has not been completed yet, so it is unlikely that the island will be sold.
The money from selling the villa was donated to charity without leaving a single cent, and the donation was made anonymously - it was Tuhao cigarettes!
Huo Yan donated Zhuang Zhoucheng's villa, well, it was purely revenge.
Who made that damn man cheat her of all the money for her family's demolition?
The villa in the Oriental Pearl Tower can be regarded as a "burial" for her old house.
Huo Yan has always been brooding over the fact that she was cheated out of money. Now she has started to deal with the villa that Zhuang Zhoucheng left for her, and the previous feud between the two has also come to an end.
Huo Yan is in a very good mood now. Her heart comes alive as soon as she attends Professor Ente's class.
You have to know that the teaching system here is really different from that in China. Even if there are classes in China, they are real lectures.
It is not like here, where students have to use their hands and brain first, and then the class starts after they have come up with the results themselves.
Practice first, and then take your results to class.
Huo Yan had been waiting for a long time. School finally started, but there were no classes in the first week?
It was strange. The professor who taught her professional courses was called Ente. He just posted the course assignments on the forum, and that was it for this week's classes.
Huo Yan was completely dumbfounded. How could a class be taught like this?
I was waiting for this course with curiosity, and it turned out to be a summary of my understanding of modern and future architecture.
OK, class will start next Monday, that’s it.
Most of Huo Yan's roommates went to participate in various activities, and she was the only one in the dormitory.
I bit the tip of my pen and wondered what modern and future architecture would look like.
There were classmates calling her outside. They were her roommates, two international students from Country Z, named Lily and Ruixue, and another international student from an island country, named Juanzi. The three of them were calling her at the door.
Huo Yan turned his head to look outside, threw away his pencil, put on his shoes and walked out.
Don’t think about it. The questions given by the professor are what I think.
So she can say whatever she wants and refer to other people's answers, but are they still her own?
Huo Yan played here for a week, and when he went to class the next Monday, he looked at the materials brought by his classmates in the same course.
She regretted it. If she had known earlier, she would have prepared well.
Do you know how she played that week?
I went to Las Vegas with three girls from the same dormitory to watch a show. How brave of me!
Fortunately, she had handed in a few line drawings with a pen before the get out of class ended. Other people had long essays, but she only had a few line drawings.
Well, of course, no one could understand what she was drawing, and she herself didn't come up with anything special.
However, she explained that the modern architecture in her mind should show strength and beauty. For future architecture, Huo Yan's line drawing looked like a flying saucer, without any explanation.
The next day, the professor handed out last week's homework and gave Huo Yan a second look. She had barely passed, getting a B. The comments on her homework were:
I've watched too many science fiction movies.
Huo Yan secretly stuck out her tongue. Okay, so be it a B. At least she passed. To be fair, she really didn't put in enough effort, so it was not bad to pass.
The classes here do not focus on grades, but more on students' potential.
They don’t attach importance to grades, but they will post the scores and rankings of each course in order on the bulletin board. Oh, my, the whole school can see it.
Huo Yan was embarrassed in the first class. There were twenty students in the class and she was at the last one. She was too embarrassed to face anyone.
After the first class, Huo Yan finally started to get serious, gradually calming down his wandering heart and devoting himself to study wholeheartedly.
Columbia University is not a romantic college or an engineering university. It is not a place for socialites to gild their reputations, and scores and rankings do not matter.
