Something is different.

But it could also be the same, Mr. Zhou and Ms. Zhou love Zhou Ran in the same way.

Of course, Mr. and Ms. Zhou don’t know yet that Zhou Ran is going to apply to a medical school in the United States. Even if he wants to study medicine in his twenties, can’t he apply to a medical school in China?

It’s too difficult to take the medical postgraduate entrance examination in China.

Sleeping may really be the lowest-cost way to restore brain memory. Zhou Ran no longer feels powerless when studying now that his brain cannot keep up.

As a student with not very good academic performance in a non-key undergraduate program in China, Zhou Ran could only rely on an agency to help him with his GPA, but he had to rely on his own efforts to pass the MCAT.

Then there is language. For a child who has failed three important exams due to English (middle school entrance examination, college entrance examination, and postgraduate entrance examination), this is a big hurdle.

So Mr. Zhou and Ms. Zhou listened to Zhou Ran babble in bird language all day long, and they once again strengthened their determination to buy a house in the city where Zhou Ran was studying for his master's degree.

Because in their opinion, Zhou Ran, who was able to review so seriously after the first exam, must have great confidence in entering the second exam.

During the first month of the lunar year, Zhou Ran returned to the countryside with his parents to visit his second aunt and her family. His grandparents and grandfather had already passed away, so he could only visit their graves...

After the statutory holidays, Zhou Ran went to the document processing center and successfully collected his passport and Hong Kong and Macau Pass. He still had to go to Hong Kong Island to take the exam.

Then there’s the TOEFL test…

With so many things to do, Zhou Ran wanted to start school in September 2012, and time was very tight.

After getting the relevant documents, Zhou Ran returned to Northeast China. Although Mr. Zhou and Ms. Zhou advised her to review at home, Zhou Ran had a guilty conscience and planned to act first and ask for permission later.

So, I slipped away after the Lantern Festival, using the excuse that I also had to check out the braised food shop over there. The teaching resources in the provincial capital are not comparable. Well, making money is important, and studying is also important.

In March, Zhou Ran flew to Hong Kong and took the MCAT exam. She felt very good about herself because physics, chemistry, biology, psychology, and biochemistry were all courses she had studied before.

Let Zhou Ran in this world learn it again, just as a review.

Especially after she accepted the advice of the little voice and started practicing, although she had to go to the primeval forest to barely break through the first level of Qi training, her hearing and eyesight, as well as her energy and spirit had greatly improved.

In addition, because Zhou Ran types at 8 times the speed, at a time when tentacle monsters like Eagle are still very rare, Zhou Ran's royalties have increased exponentially.

The faster you update, the more readers you will have, and the more readers you have, the more royalties you will earn.

So the fee she paid to the agency was raised to the highest level of 36!

With this kind of financial power, it is easy to get a recommendation letter from an American doctor, an internship certificate, and an interview.

In a capitalist society, capital determines everything.

Although Zhou Ran does not have capital, she is generous enough to spend it. She is willing to spend as much as she can. Agents also like such clients, even if she is determined to apply to a medical school in the United States.

The most important thing is that Zhou Ran signed the highest-level agency fee, and if it is unsuccessful, he must get a full refund!

Even if Zhou Ran is not anxious, the agent is!

Moreover, this client herself is very competitive. She got a perfect score on the MCAT, but no one knows what happened to her during her four years in college. They still have to make things happen for her. Is she a late bloomer?

Fortunately, the agency’s partner in the United States was very helpful, and Zhou Ran was admitted to the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine at the last minute.

According to the intermediary who provided one-on-one service to Zhou Ran, they might even lose money on this deal, uh...

After receiving the school's admission letter, the subsequent visa application process went smoothly.

Xue Chen provided great support for the large-scale expansion of his braised food store. He owned a 15% stake in a braised food company with a store that was nearly a hundred years old, and his net assets amounted to tens of millions, which was enough to support Zhou Ran's tuition at a medical school in the United States.

Zhou Ran has already bought the admission letter, visa, and even the plane ticket. Now he has to go home and confront Lao Zhou.

Zhou Ran had vaguely told her parents about her admission, but Mr. and Ms. Zhou didn't know that she was going to go across the ocean to the United States to study in medical school. According to the shortest length of time, after four years of medical school, there would be three years of residency and three years of specialist medicine.

Well, a conservative estimate is ten years.

"Dad, I'm going to school next week. School starts in September, so I have to go there early to get acclimated." Zhou Ran chose his words carefully and confessed to Lao Zhou the next day after arriving home.

"You can go. Oh, by the way, is the University of Pennsylvania Medical School that you applied to in Erbin? How are the housing prices in Erbin?" Lao Zhou asked while watching TV.

The desire to buy a house is burning.

"...The full name of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine is the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Dad. It's not in Philadelphia, it's in the United States." Zhou Ran's voice became lower and lower as he spoke.

"What's Binya? The United States?" Old Zhou dropped the remote control and looked at Zhou Ran blankly. Is he too old to lift the bamboo stick?

A fight? Or a mixed doubles match?

In the end, Mr. and Ms. Zhou didn't hit the child. Ugh! For the entire day, my daughter was completely blown away. There aren't even direct flights from Shanghai to Philadelphia, and the flight with a layover takes 20 hours.

Oh, the food has no taste.

But when I think about how my daughter collected over $300,000 in agency fees and $60,000 in tuition fees by herself, I think it takes a lot of determination and perseverance.

Forget it, just let her be. The child is grown up and I can’t control her anymore.

Mr. Zhou and Ms. Zhou didn't sleep the whole night. When they woke up the next morning, their mouths were full of blisters and they were suffering from a sore throat.

But they couldn't blame Zhou Ran for his choice, and every day, they still found different ways to make delicious food for Zhou Ran.

It was not until the day before Zhou Ran left that Lao Zhou handed her a bank card.

"There's not much money on the card, just 50,000 US dollars. It was originally intended as a two-pronged plan. If you go back to your hometown and take the civil service exam, I'll buy you a car. If you pass the postgraduate entrance exam, I'll use it as tuition. Now that you're going to study in the United States, Dad will convert the money into US dollars and give it to you in one lump sum." Old Zhou has been running around these days, dealing with currency exchange.

Originally, 300,000 yuan was prepared for Zhou Ran, but when he thought about leaving his hometown to go to the United States, he added some money to her to make up the annual foreign exchange limit.

"Well, thank you, Dad." Zhou Ran didn't mention that he had money and didn't need anything, as that would only make Old Zhou feel worse.

Just thanking him directly instead of tearing it apart would make Lao Zhou feel better.

Sure enough, Old Zhou was relieved to see that Zhou Ran was not shy at all.

"What do you think? I've never heard you say you want to be a doctor before." Ms. Zhou couldn't help but ask.

"I just thought that when you get older, there will be someone to take care of you in a big hospital." Zhou Ran smiled and blinked away the bitterness in his eyes.

In fact, Lao Zhou has always been in poor health. He has gastrointestinal problems and liver and gallbladder problems. Whenever he feels unwell, he has to stay in the hospital for a few days.

Ms. Zhou is unwilling to see a doctor, but her high blood pressure is hereditary and an old problem.

After their daughter said this, what else could the parents say? They hugged each other and cried for a while, and then they were fully recovered the next day.

What about the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine? It's one of the top schools in the United States. It's enough for them to brag about for years.
