Ma Dandan thought of the scene she saw in Central today, and a smile appeared on her lips unconsciously.
This is the sweet taste of love.
"No... I just gave you a bowl of soup." Ma Dandan blushed.
"What's going on? Has Tang been sent to a law firm in Central?" Yu Wenyin came over.
Women's gossiping mind knows no distinction between educational level and others.
"No, Lawyer Zhuo was injured and his hands were inconvenient, so I went to bring him some soup."
Ma Dandan held the shrimp tightly with both hands, feeling a little embarrassed to look up at them.
"Oh..." Yu Wenyin and Zhao Zitong looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.
"But Lawyer Zhuo asked me not to send him anymore in the future. He also said that if he wants to drink, he will come to our Tianji Tea Restaurant."
When Ma Dandan thought of this, she looked expectant and shy:
"Do you think he will really come?"
"Of course I will. Auntie's soup is so delicious. Not only Zhuo Zhenfeng, but even Wen Yin and I want to live upstairs in your tea restaurant."
To be honest, Zhao Zitong is particularly envious of Ma Dandan's family atmosphere.
The couple lived in harmony and loved Ma Dandan very much.
Although both his mother and Yu Wenyin's mother love their daughters.
But her father is like this, and Yu Wenyin's mother is also strong.
In comparison, I still envy Ma Dandan for having such a normal and happy family.
They say fools have good fortune, maybe this is what they mean.
The three of them prepared a table full of dishes and raised a can of pineapple beer to toast:
"Wenyin, Zitong, I'm so happy to have good friends like you two!"
Ma Dandan stood up, raised a can of pineapple beer and took a big sip.
"Although pineapple beer doesn't have much alcohol, it's still not good to eat cold food on an empty stomach. Drink a bowl of soup first."
Although Yu Wenyin doesn't like her mother very much, she is still influenced by her mother unconsciously.
What she said to Ma Dandan was also what her mother Zhou Qingqiu often said to her.
"Oh my... It's rare for us to drink together, can you put aside your principles for a while?"
Zhao Zitong knew that Yu Wenyin was about to start using her principles in life and work again, so she quickly interrupted her.
Of course she knew that it was not good for women to drink cold beer, but it was the end of June in Hong Kong and if she didn't drink some ice-cold beer, she would really sweat.
This old building has no air conditioning, only a squeaking fan.
"That's it, everyone raise your glasses, toast to friendship!"
Seeing that he had someone to back him up, Ma Dandan immediately drank a big mouthful of ice beer without restraint.
Bubbles came up and she burped loudly.
Zhao Zitong has been a good person, and Yu Wenyin doesn't want to be a bad person who makes people hate her.
"Alright, alright, I can't win over you two. Let's drink to Zhao Wenqiang's death first!"
Yu Wenyin raised her glass and took a big sip.
Although she also knew that drinking too much frozen drinks was bad for the stomach.
But once you’ve tried this kind of taste, you can’t stop.
She took another sip.
Seeing her drinking too much, Ma Dandan said with concern:
"Wen Quyin, your stomach is not in good condition, so you should drink less."
Yu Wenyin has a chronic stomach disease, namely chronic gastric ulcer.
There is no fundamental cure for this disease, and the only way is to strengthen your physical fitness through daily diet and regular exercise.
Yu Wenyin has been self-disciplined since she was a child. She rarely drinks frozen drinks and rarely eats spicy food.
Zhao Zitong often laughed at her:
"A person who can control his mouth can definitely achieve great things."
She doesn't know whether she can accomplish anything big or not.
But with her moderate diet and regular exercise, she rarely suffers from stomach ulcers.
When she has nothing to do, her favorite thing to do is to run a marathon.
Because running is a poor man’s sport.
She can't afford to play other sports such as tennis and golf.
After three rounds of drinks, we got down to business.
"Zitong, I support you if you want to go to college. You can do it!"
Ma Dandan also has a mindless admiration for Zhao Zitong.
Or rather, she had beautiful fantasies about everything.
“As long as your DSE score is high, there are many universities you can apply to.”
Yu Wenyin picked up a piece of fresh and smooth turbot and said to Zhao Zitong:
"There are three major study options, and the Hong Kong DSE results are recognized by 412 universities around the world."
In addition to applying to 11 local universities in Hong Kong and more than 280 international universities, Hong Kong students can also apply to
Hong Kong students holding a Home Visit Permit,
With DSE scores, students can apply to 127 universities in mainland China (including “Double First-Class Universities”) without taking an entrance exam.
Mainland students can also use DSE scores to apply for local and overseas universities in Hong Kong.
But you cannot apply to mainland universities.
Mainland candidates can only enter any university in the mainland by passing the college entrance examination.
The Hong Kong government will allocate an additional 20% of the 15,000 government-funded places each year as admission places for non-local students to Hong Kong universities.
Of these 20% of places, only 30-40% are for mainland students (applications with mainland college entrance examination scores as well as international test scores such as A levels, SAT, IB, etc. are accepted).
Moreover, the tuition fees of students admitted in this batch will not be subsidized by the government.
Usually 3-4 times that of local Hong Kong students.
Therefore, it is really expensive for mainland students to study in university in Hong Kong.
Even if mainland students get high scores in DSE,
Due to limited space and fierce competition, the chances of admission are still slim.
For Hong Kong universities, it is just an additional path for mainland students to continue their studies.
But it does not mean that your application will be admitted.
Because you will be competing with high-scoring students in the college entrance examination and top students in A-levels, SAT, IB, etc.
In other words, there is not much advantage for mainland students to take part in DSE.
This comparison also clearly shows that
The advantage of having an easier time getting into prestigious schools through DSE is for students from Hong Kong.
This time, Zhao Zitong was extremely grateful that she had obtained a Hong Kong household registration.
Because studying at university in Hong Kong is much cheaper than for mainland students.
"The first type of universities you can apply for: 122 universities in mainland China, including Tsinghua University, Peking University, Fudan University, Sun Yat-sen University and other famous universities,"
“But it only applies to students with Hong Kong identity cards and mainland return permits.”
Yu Wenyin explained;
Something special needs to be pointed out here: the scores for students from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan applying to prestigious universities in mainland China are particularly low.
Take Tsinghua University and Peking University as an example.
It’s friendly enough to Beijing residents, right
However, the scores of students with Hong Kong hukou are much lower than those with Beijing hukou.
Therefore, there is no absolute fairness in the college entrance examination...
“The second type of universities you can apply for: 11 universities in Hong Kong: the University of Hong Kong, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and other famous public universities.
“The third type of universities you can apply for: 279 universities in 16 countries overseas, including:
United Kingdom: 120 prestigious universities including Oxford and Cambridge.
United States: 47 prestigious universities including Yale and New York University.
Australia: 36 prestigious universities including Australian National University and University of Sydney.
Canada: 30 prestigious universities including Toronto.
Singapore: National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, etc.
Wow…
Although I haven't been admitted yet, I am very excited to hear the names of these world-class universities.
Zhao Zitong was drooling.
