Chapter 721: Professor Xu

Lu Zhen still had to stay in Newport for a day to visit the teacher Ye Xuan had hired for her.
The production team held a simple wrap ceremony for Lu Zhen. Gao Fan even took a photo with Lu Zhen. After Lu Zhen received the photo of the two of them, she felt a little disappointed. After Gao Fan got older, he rarely filmed anymore. After this film, she did not know if she would have the chance to work with this legendary director again.
The next day, the crew checked out of the hotel room. Although Lu Zhen did not need to catch a plane, she still got into the car together and sent everyone to the airport before leaving. No matter how polite Lu Zhen was to Gao Fan, the director, it was not too much. Not to mention that the other party had helped her a lot.
After that, Lu Zhen returned to the hotel and brought the gift she had prepared for the professor. She took a car with Xiaoxiao to a very lively old street.
That professor was a professor at Newport University. Her salary would definitely not be low. Even if she had already retired, her retirement salary was enough for her to live a high-class life in Newport.
But that professor actually lived in a very old residential building.
The weather in Newport had been very hot for the past few days. After Lu Zhen knocked, the wooden door that had lost its paint was pulled open from the inside. Then, an old woman with white hair appeared in front of Lu Zhen.
Behind her, the old-fashioned fan spins slowly.
Lu Zhen hurriedly bowed. “Hello, Professor Xu. I’m Lu Zhen. I’m really sorry to have only come to visit you today.”
Professor Xu let Lu Zhen in and made her a cup of flower tea. Flower petals floated in the white porcelain cup. It was very fragrant. Professor Xu’s house was not big. It was even a little narrow. In the small one-bedroom room, all kinds of furniture were placed together.
Outside the glass door beside the living room was a balcony that was less than two square meters. There was a row of flower pots on the balcony, and the flowers in the pots looked very energetic.
Other than that, Professor Xu’s house had the most books. Other than the two bookshelves against the wall that were filled with books, the books on the table were almost stacked higher than a person.
Professor Xu sat opposite Lu Zhen, adjusted her glasses, and smiled faintly. “I’ve seen ‘Beauty’. You acted very well.”
To Lu Zhen’s surprise, Professor Xu spoke Mandarin quite well. There was almost no accent. If she hadn’t learned about it in advance, Lu Zhen would have thought that Professor Xu wasn’t from Newport.
“Thank you for your praise. Acting is my job. I’m very happy to be able to satisfy an audience like you.” Lu Zhen felt flattered and sincerely responded to Professor Xu’s praise. Then, Lu Zhen smiled in embarrassment. “But in other fields, I’m still a newcomer.”
“You want to take the Chinese department?” Professor Xu took a sip of tea and asked.
“Yes.” Lu Zhen nodded.
When Lu Zhen was preparing for the exam, she had actually not thought of which major she wanted to choose. However, she had her considerations. She was an actress and had been in this industry for two lifetimes. The university major she chose was more or less related to her work.
It was impossible for her to study chemistry, physics, and computing. She did not have the time to invest in completely unfamiliar fields, nor did she have much interest. After some investigation, she confirmed that she was interested in the humanities and finally chose the Chinese department.
Professor Xu adjusted her glasses again and said, “Then Newport University and Beijing Chinese University are the best choices. The Chinese department of Huacheng Renmin University is also not bad.”
Lu Zhen was stunned. Her original goal was only to get into a double-rated university. She had never considered Newport University or Beijing Chinese University. She had not even read the introduction of these two schools.
These were the top universities in the country. It was very difficult for those students who spent time studying in school every day to get into these two universities.
As an actress who worked and studied at the same time, it was almost a dream for Lu Zhen to get into these two universities.
As for Huacheng Renmin University, Lu Zhen had some understanding of it. This school’s score was slightly lower, but it was at least 630 points. Lu Zhen felt that it was impossible for her to get in.
She even felt that it was a little offensive to look at the school’s information. At that time, she only thought that if she could get into a school in Hua City, she could go home to see her grandfather from time to time.
Lu Zhen fell into a few seconds of silence. Then, she forced a smile and said, “Professor Xu, you might not know my strength in this area. Oh, no, my level…”
Professor Xu smiled. “You scored 512 points in your last exam. I know that.”
Lu Zhen really felt ashamed and wanted to bury her head.
