Chapter 92: academic struggle
On Tuesday evening, Ziling and Haichao ate together in the school cafeteria.
"Are you going to participate in the National College Student English Speech Contest?" Hai Chao was taken aback, "The spoken language must be very good, and the pronunciation requirements are very strict."
In high school, Ziling and Haichao were in different classes, and there were no classmates in the same class as her in this school, and her parents didn't understand this, so she still had the confidence to participate in this competition, and there would be no bugs. Even if her former teachers and classmates appeared, she could be said to have learned it after graduation.
Or something that does not require laboratory data to support it is the easiest to grasp.
Ziling smiled and said: "I speak very well. I listened to English every day in high school, and now I am with Minglang and speak English every day. Why don't you do this? This year, I will participate in the English speech contest, and next year you will participate in the poetry contest and write lyrics. contest."
Haichao said, "Is this... OK?"
Zi Ling smiled and said, "You are a talented girl who scored 141 in Chinese in the college entrance examination, why can't you?"
From the illusion, Haichao is a little talented girl. She has become a bone spirit and has done a very prominent job in the cultural and creative planning company. She has also written the lyrics of several popular songs, which is very spiritual.
Therefore, Haichao, who was doing well at that time, had the face to find a position in the company for the original owner Zhao Ziling. The gap between a professional woman like her and a man of Xiao Mingcheng's worth has narrowed a bit, but it is still not a level person, which still makes her less confident.
Haichao said: "It's a place where there are so many experts in the country. I will be nervous, and then I may not necessarily immerse the rhythm of poetry so deeply."
Zi Ling said: "When I finish the competition, Ming Lang and I can accompany you for special training."
She didn't say special training for her, but to accompany her, but in fact, Ziling's level must be stronger than Haichao, but Ziling is always willing to be the woman behind the kind women.
There are many directions in which the tide can develop, so it is no longer to compete with the dominant tide in poetry and articles.
She looks like a sadistic heroine, and she will attract fans when she dresses up and shows on TV. Just do a good job of protecting her, and don't let people with ulterior motives in the entertainment and business circles harm her.
Zi Ling felt that they could be the fairy who really turned the commoner Cinderella into a princess. It's not just changing a beautiful dress and wearing crystal shoes, but urging her to forge her inner strength.
Haichao looked at her suspiciously and said, "You won't be bored if you accompany me for special training?"
Ziling said: "I read history, and I have read a lot of literary history recently. There are many similarities between Chinese and history. There is no harm in reading together in the future."
Hai Chao said: "Who knows if there will be such a competition next year..."
"It won't be a loss without you. You publish your poems in a literary weekly. Anyway, talented people will still encounter many opportunities. Why not try it?"
Haichao has always been a person who is very good at fighting for his academic career. He nodded and said, "Okay, I will start to prepare now. If there is a competition next year, I will try it."
...
In mid-October, the project of the National College Students English Speech Contest has been launched in major colleges and universities, and colleges and universities in all provinces are auditioning. In order for each school to recommend places for the provincial competition in November, the national semi-finals and finals will be held in early December.
The task of the campus audition was handed over to the foreign language department, so Ziling went to the foreign language department to register and participate in the written test of the audition. Those who passed the written test participated in the oral test, and after the oral test, there was a competition on campus. . The judges are not teachers of the school, but come from other colleges and universities to achieve the greatest possible fairness.
On Thursday afternoon, Ziling went to the foreign language department's office to sign up and pay the written test fee.
The written test was completed on Saturday morning, and the results were published on the Internet on Monday.
There are only a few thousand people in the undergraduate department of a school, and the number of people who speak English well enough to participate in this kind of competition will never exceed 1%, and the results are of course very fast.
Ziling got a perfect score in the written test, and she and an alumni from the foreign language department ranked first in the school's written test.
This incident caught the attention of the class tutor, Teacher Yu, and asked her specifically.
"Yes, I am going to participate in the English speech contest."
Teacher Yu asked curiously, "Is your English so good?"
When he saw the full marks in the written test on campus, he thought about how to study the history department with such good foreign language conditions. After all, this major is much less popular, and most of the employment directions are to be teachers.
Zi Ling said, "It's better than the average person, so let's try it. If we can achieve results, it will also bring glory to our department."
Teacher Yu encouraged her and said, "Then you can contact me if you need anything. You passed the written test first, and you have a great chance."
If you want to participate in the competition, you may need to ask for leave, and Teacher Yu also opened the door for her to make it easier for her. After all, she is the only history student who entered the oral exam.
The monitor Wu Xia was taking the registration form for the school sports meeting from the class director, and went out of the office with Ziling. At this time, it was lunchtime, so the two went together.
Wu Xia smiled and said, "Zhao Ziling, your English is so good? 100% in the written test? If you take the CET 4 or 6 now, will it be easy for you?"
Ziling was not humble and said, "It's very simple. It's just that we freshmen can't sign up for the exam."
Wu Xia gave a wow and said, "Is there any trick?"
"Cut down the vocabulary first, there is basically no problem in the written test."
Wu Xia said, "I just can't get it down."
Ziling said: "For example, from here to the cafeteria, can you try to memorize three key difficult words, and also three when you eat? Maybe you need to go back to the dormitory and memorize three more. Then take a lunch break, before class Memorize these nine words on the road again. In one noon, you will memorize nine key and difficult words. If you memorize nine in all your spare time in the morning, noon and evening, there will be twenty-seven a day. There are six levels in total. There are only more than 6,000 vocabulary words, and if you remove the words you already know, there are only two or three thousand left, and one year is enough for you to memorize them.”
Of course, Wu Xia also has her own way of learning. Listening to her, she said: "Does a beautiful girl like you work so hard?"
Ziling said: "It's not really hard work, I'm just curious about how it feels after I learn it, so this process is not painful to the level of 'hard work'."
Wu Xia couldn't help but look up at the mountains. When she didn't approach her, she felt that a girl like her who was already famous for her beauty in the whole school only needed to know how to dress up and fall in love. She never thought that she was more beautiful and worked harder than others. She doesn't regard hard work as pain, so naturally her ability to endure is higher.
Although students secretly posted videos about her in her spare time, saying that she was a poor man with only beauty and no family background, some people saw several luxury cars picking her up and talking about her being taken care of outside. Wu Xia felt that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to make friends. Zhao Ziling was poor, and she didn't need her to support her family anyway.
Zhao Ziling has at least two advantages:
1. The beauty is peerless, non-plastic surgery, peerless beauty is a rare resource. Not to mention whether she will marry into a wealthy family in the future, this kind of beauty and temperament is better than that of all female stars of the same age. What if she becomes a star in the future?
Second, good English. Among the experts, there are only two full marks in the written test, and Zhao Ziling has one of them. Wu Xia does not believe that the written test is a middle school student question.
Wu Xia became very affectionate with her and said, "The first half of the second half of this month will be the on-campus audition speech for the Foreign Languages Department, and the second half will be the school sports meeting. What program do you want to apply for?"
Zi Ling came interested and asked, "What project?"
Wu Xia showed her the list. They were all relatively popular events, and there was no martial arts.
Zi Ling had no choice but to say, "I'll kick the shuttlecock."
Now she has only been wearing it for a few months, and she has been busy all the time, and now she has no internal skills. If she is compared with others, I am afraid that she can't compare. But she has confidence in kicking the shuttlecock.
The two girls walked and talked, getting along well, and Wu Xia felt that her attitude towards making friends was wise for the rest of her life. She has also made the most valuable contacts in her life. Everyone she knows wants to use her as a network, and only Zhao Ziling is her effective network.
...
On the afternoon of the second Friday after the National Day holiday, Ziling went to the foreign language department to take an on-site oral test.
The oral test in this school audition is more flexible. It does not use the same manuscript as a speech, but adopts the same method as a group interview when a company is recruiting.
A group of four, and then the jury watched the group members chat in English, and then asked questions and scored.
Zi Ling sat in the middle of the winning group and drew the theme of "dream".
After preparing for a while, everyone started to speak one by one. When the team members talked about "dream", it was inevitable that they were related to some life ideals and beliefs.
This is just the beginning, as long as she has qualified for the school competition, she doesn't need to be very maverick at this time. So, she talked about her personal ideal in life: self-cultivation and family, and helping the world. All of a sudden, from the ancient Chinese sages, he talked about the current micro and macro social problems. It involved some English translations when citing famous Chinese sayings. In addition, some social issues she talked about were also a little in-depth, which all tested their skills and made all the judges, teachers and students feel a little scared.
Zhao Ziling's appearance and spoken language are really outstanding among the four people, not to mention the male students in the same group, even the single male teacher who came to score her looked at her, and her face turned red.
Such teachers and elders, who have no grievances and no worries, have no personal disciples, and their grades are naturally much fairer.
After Ziling finished the oral test, it was almost the time to leave school in the afternoon. She went back to the dormitory to get a computer and a few books, and went directly to the Chinese Department teaching building to wait for Haichao to eat.
As soon as the bell rang, students poured out of the classrooms. After waiting for about five minutes, a girl in a black shirt, black trousers, and a loose college-style wine red suit jacket walked out of the building.
She was carrying a backpack, her long hair was tied with a ponytail, her complexion was fair and flawless, and her eyes were as beautiful as a smoky cage.
The heroine of the sadomasochism is really beautiful and blinding people's eyes. If it wasn't for her Ling Fei wearing it, and the spirit and spirit were different from the original owner, Zhao Ziling would be inferior to her.
"How is the speaking test?" Hai Chao asked as soon as he saw her.
Zi Ling shrugged and said, "Teacher is still counting everyone's total scores. I think there should be no problem in entering the top ten."
Because the top ten in the written test and oral test will have an intra-school audition open, but then the top two advance provinces will be selected for the preliminary round, semi-finals, finals, and then the national competition.
Hai Chao sighed deeply. She felt even more pressure. Not only did her friends have a boyfriend who loved her "ruthlessly", but her academic performance was getting better and better.
Zi Ling took her hand and said, "Let's go, we've agreed to invite you to dinner. Ming Lang is coming to pick us up."
Suddenly, a Maserati stopped by the side of the road, and a handsome man got out of the car. This young, unrestrained and refined attitude can be compared to those little fresh meats whose commonly used words are spelled wrong. ?
He instantly attracted everyone's attention, but saw him walking to Zhao Ziling, one of the school beauties, and holding his hand, while saying hello to Wang Haichao.
It was not the first time for Xiao Minglang to pick up Ziling, but he rarely got off the bus when there were many people, so it was the first time that the school's alumni saw his true face. Before, some people in the school were still rumored that Zhao Ziling was a mistress of a wealthy man, or that Zhao Ziling was so poor that she was extremely materialistic. If she didn't like Zhang Bin, it was because he didn't spend enough money.
At this moment, Zi Ling suddenly saw Zhang Bin. He just looked at her curiously several times, but he didn't come up this time. Xiao Minglang whispered to her, and suddenly walked towards Zhang Bin, who was about to turn around and leave quickly.
"Mr. Zhang Bin, please stay." Xiao Minglang's voice was cold, but with a penetrating power and a sense of coercion, Zhang Bin hesitated to run away quickly, or turned around and hit the bar.
Before he had time to make a decision, Xiao Minglang had already arrived in front of him.
Seeing his true face, Zhang Bin felt a sense of inferiority and a deep sense of inferiority.
Xiao Minglang smiled and said, "I have been to your school many times, but I have never had the chance to see Mr. Zhang. In fact, you tried to pursue my fiancée before, and I understand your feelings very well. But your unilateral decision is not for mine. The life of my fiancee is disturbed. I hope you will not do this in the future, can you promise me?"
Zhang Bin felt that everyone was watching his jokes, and he couldn't help but turn into anger and said, "Is it great to be rich? A woman who is greedy and vain, I see it clearly, and she has long lost interest!"
Xiao Minglang said: "It's best if you're not interested, but my fiancee doesn't need you to define who she is. Men shouldn't talk about women being vain, but should examine themselves. Even a little vain happiness can't satisfy a woman. In turn, men are not good enough. Men who are not good enough have no right to blame women for vanity."
Xiao Minglang took out 5,000 yuan and said, "You smashed my woman with a computer. Originally, you were wrong. I thought you were young and ignorant. Your computer is broken, so we will give you a new one. Get close to my fiancée again. Also, don’t make small moves in other areas, or I will be serious with you. Your father is an accountant of a company in Tianjin, and I have some information about him making false accounts and embezzling public funds. In real life or in the virtual world to damage my fiancée's reputation or interests and interfere with her life, I will take your father to the knife."
Zhang Bin was taken aback and said, "You... Who are you?"
Xiao Minglang said: "You don't have to know."
Xiao Minglang handed out the money, but Zhang Bin didn't accept it, nor did he accept it, Xiao Minglang let go of his hand, and a stack of brand-new hundred-yuan bills fell to the ground, and when the autumn wind blew, it scattered.
Xiao Minglang had already turned around and went back. Zhang Bin hurriedly went to pick up the money on the ground. He hated him very much. He felt that he was sent away by such a few dollars. This person is too hateful.
Originally, the style of painting was very beautiful, but suddenly Zhao Ziling shouted and said, "Xiao Minglang, do you have a lot of money? What are you giving him money for? I have nothing to do with him, if you give him money, others think it's me and him. What about the breakup fee! When the **** did I deal with him once? Go and get the money back!"
Many alumni and Zhang Bin couldn't help being stunned!
Xiao Minglang was also stunned!
Excuse me, when an overbearing president smashes people with money, he turns around and asks for the money back.
Zhao Ziling stuck her waist and said, "Go!"
Xiao Minglang decided to struggle for the sake of man's dignity.
"Zi Ling, I don't lack this kind of money..."
"Frugality is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation!"
"Purple Ling..."
Seeing his expression, Zi Ling had to go out on her own, ran over, grabbed a handful of money from Zhang Bin's hand, and went to pick up the money on the ground. Several sheets flew away and flew to the feet of the alumni. The kind alumni took care of her. Picked it up and returned her.
"Thank you! Thank you everyone! The men in the family are ignorant, making everyone laugh."
The alumni laughed and said no thanks.
Ziling explained it, and said, "Last time Zhang Bin came over suddenly and hit me with his computer bag. I kicked his bag away out of self-defense, and his computer was broken. My boyfriend is this I want to compensate him for the computer, but it is not a breakup fee. I have never had anything to do with Zhang Bin, I have never given him a look or eaten him a grain of rice. To avoid misunderstandings, it is not good to give him money in public. I have to wait for the court's judgment before I can perform the obligation of compensation."
Suddenly, an alumnus said: "I saw that. Zhang Bin smashed it with a bag. Classmate Zhao's legs are very good."
The people next to her also smiled and agreed, Zi Ling thanked everyone, then walked back and gave Xiao Minglang a cold look.
Xiao Minglang touched his nose embarrassedly, as if he had met such a woman, there were too few opportunities for a man to pretend to be coercive.
Suddenly, Xiao Minglang saw Wang Zixuan. Since he would spend money to check the boys who were harassing his wife, this Wang Zixuan also checked by the way. Be prepared, if his wife asks him to help Wang Haichao, he can help at any time.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Xiao Minglang changed the subject when Zi Ling came over: "Miss Wang, be careful on weekdays, this Wang Zixuan, I don't think it's right."
Haichao was also speechless for the style of painting just now, and he couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Minglang said: "Three factors that determine a person's behavior: physiology, psychology, and society. Wang Zixuan grew up in a doting family, which made his personality somewhat out of touch with the society. Now your rejection is a blow to his sexuality and psychology. This setback is beyond your imagination, and his bad record of borrowing and visiting prostitutes has caused him to suffer social blows and academic setbacks. It is difficult for people who grew up in love to stand up again, but they have serious mental illness. I will see him again. His appearance reminds me of the 18 physiological characteristics of Lombroso's criminal anthropology, as well as the research on the physiological structure and criminal psychology of an Asian that I did with my supervisor during my Ph.D. Wang Zixuan does not have all those characteristics, But he does have it."
After Zi Ling heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Wang Zixuan's back from a distance, and said, "His hands are relatively short, I remember his face, although he looks good, but his forehead is narrow and his nose is not good-looking. The hair is yellower and the eyes aren't right. It's a bit like a trait of many **** criminals, and **** usually leads to a complicating crime."
Ziling has studied medicine, of course, she has dabbled in the interdisciplinary subjects such as anthropology and criminal psychology, and people who practice martial arts also have roots. Anthropology is related to physiology and psychology.
But she usually doesn't notice these things. After all, it's very unfair to judge people based on their physical appearance. She only remembered when Xiao Minglang mentioned it. She suddenly became confused, why did Yuan Suiyun not have any characteristics of criminal anthropology back then, probably because of his childhood experience and blindness, he used his genius ability in the wrong place. And the common criminal is different.
Haichao said, "I think it's scary to hear you say that.":
