Three days passed by quickly and it was soon the day of the expert interview in Beijing.
The train tickets to Beijing were reimbursed by the school but the cost of the hotel was not.
The three people arrived in Beijing by train and each of them booked a hotel room near Yanjing University.
They did not speak again that night.
The three planned to meet up next morning at eight o'clock in Yanjing University's lounge which was right outside of the interview venue.
When they arrived, the venue was already crowded. Not only were there competition teams, but there were also media reporters who were interviewing the teams.
Lu Zhou did not want to appear on the TV and so, he found a remote position and sat down. He took out the printed thesis and began his final preparation.
He had not even started to read before he heard discussion voices.
