"Exactly, I just told you." Lan Yu, brimming with enthusiasm, started explaining to Lu Sheng.
"The talent recruitment policy targets two types of talents, the first type is what I just told you about, a high-difficulty exam for all-around talents, and the second type is for special talents."
"Simply put, it’s for high school students who have achieved exceptionally in a certain field. As long as they get a recommendation from a top-notch big wig at Beijing University and Qing University after the college entrance exam, the university will lower the admission score needed for their specialized field by a hundred points."
"After all, these geniuses who might be extraordinary in a certain field might not have great overall grades, or might be lopsided in their academic strengths. But special talents definitely deserve special treatment, right?"
"Moreover, this special recruitment has a particularly impressive feature, which is, since a big wig is definitely an industry expert, being recommended by them means entering the study program led by the big wig."
"If you can build a good relationship with the big wig, you might even go straight from undergraduate to PhD and become the big wig’s disciple—an opportunity everyone dreams of but is almost unreachable."
"However, the threshold for this special recruitment is also very high; those who haven’t received nationally recognized awards with substantial prestige wouldn’t dare to recommend themselves to the big wig."
"But Shengsheng, you are different."
"Previously, you won first place at the National Piano Competition in China, which is the highest accolade in the domestic piano sector. And Professor Wu Anmin from the Arts Department of Beijing University pays close attention to this competition every year."
"The talent recruitment job has just started this year. Shengsheng, if you send an email to Professor Wu, introduce yourself, and express your hope for his recommendation, I am sure the spot will be yours this year."
"Although you haven’t had a rich resume or won many awards beside this one, you are Rosy, and that performance was so astonishing, it must have left a deep impression on Professor Wu."
"I think Professor Wu would definitely be willing to recommend you!"
Once Lan Yu mentioned this, Lu Sheng recalled overhearing others in her class discussing prior to the piano competition.
No wonder everyone in the class was saying that as long as Lu Qianrou could win first place in the competition, this year’s talent recruitment slot from Beijing University could very likely be hers.
And no wonder Lu Qianrou took the competition so seriously, even going as far to skip school and lock herself at home to practice piano because the competition date was moved up.
That was the reason.
Lu Qianrou wanted to enter the entertainment industry and become a star; having a background from the Arts Department of Beijing University would undoubtedly distinguish her from the rest.
However, frankly speaking, this wasn’t particularly appealing to Lu Sheng.
Even if she did send an email to Professor Wu and he was willing to recommend her, she originally had no intention of studying in the Arts Department at university.
Thus, she replied to Lan Yu: "I don’t plan on studying an arts major, so getting a recommendation doesn’t mean much to me."
"For the final exams, I will just take them normally. The exam is on Thursday, and I should be able to return to school the day after tomorrow, Wednesday, which is just in time."
Lan Yu immediately replied:
"!! The day after tomorrow?!"
"I can finally see you, I definitely won’t be late on Wednesday morning!"
Lu Sheng could feel Lan Yu’s excitement through the screen.
After all, in Class A, aside from her, only Lu Youming, Han Jing, and Huo Yu could really talk to Lan Yu.
But Lu Youming was always aloof, and Huo Yu was reticent, making conversations with them almost like talking to oneself.
Having been home for over two months, Lan Yu and Han Jing must have grown tired of each other, so they were eager for her to return to school soon.
After chatting with Lan Yu, Lu Sheng called Juanjuan.
At that moment, Juanjuan was working at a dessert shop.
