Madam Marilyn said modestly, “What I know is just gossip. If ordinary people really want to know this, they can simply pay more attention. I’m really far behind compared to academic elites like you...”
With that said, Madam Marilyn added, “If Aurous University recruits you, then as a student with a doctorate from Hong Kong University, you may be able to directly or indirectly bring some student resources from Hong Kong to Aurous University in the future, which is what Aurous University values the most. Based on a combination of these reasons, I dare say that you will certainly be able to pass this interview.”
Marianne nodded in realization when she heard this.
She had never been away from Hong Kong much, and she did not care much about things that did not concern her, so Marianne had never had much of an understanding of what Madam Marilyn was talking about.
Marianne suddenly gained even more confidence after listening to her words.

Meanwhile, at Scarlet Pinnacle Manor.
Vera was listening to the cicadas under the tree in the courtyard.
She had set up a vine hand-woven rocking chair and a small bamboo tea table under the tree, and there was a miniature charcoal stove on the tea table. The charcoal burning in the stove was top-grade olive charcoal which would not burst or break when burned. It would not emit any smoke and even had a very special aroma.
