Chapter 38 (Ten Schools English League...)(1/2)
Recently, Lu Yanqing's life has been filled with schools and companies. After class every day, he has to hurry to board the 20-meter extended eight-wheel drive vehicle worth millions at the entrance of the university, and then transfer to the 100-meter underground train worth hundreds of millions of yuan to go to Ganoderma Technology Co., Ltd. in the Science and Technology City.
Because he had to work overtime on Saturday and Sunday, Lu Yanqing could not cook for Yu Yue. He expressed his guilt to Yu Yue apologize.
Yu Yue hurriedly said, "Why are you apologizing? We two brothers don't have to be so irreconcilable!"
Lu Yan's Ai Ai during his youth period: "I have lived with my brother for so long, but I have never collected my rent... I originally wanted to pay for the rent by doing housework, but because the internship was too busy, I couldn't even do housework."
"What a random thing! I took you home at that time, not to let you do housework! I want to find someone to do housework. Isn't it enough to find an hourly worker aunt? You can get twenty yuan off if you place an order for an app for 100 yuan." Yu Yue comforted him, "Besides, your internship salary is used to buy furniture. If you really want to settle the score, do I have to pay you back the furniture money?"
Yu Yue comforted him carefully, and Jiaojiao Omega's younger brother finally showed a relieved smile.
My younger brother imagines the future: "Brother, our leader is very good. I heard from my senior that when the project is launched, the leader will give bonuses to each employee. Even interns like me will have a big red envelope. When the red envelope is received, I will buy the four-piece silk set we saw last time in the mall!"
"..." Yu Yue's heart was thrilled, and he wanted to tell him, if you have money, can you not buy bedding and buy your own single bed first?
That day, Lu Yanqing not only bought new furniture and went home, but also took the initiative to throw away the folding sofa bed in the living room. Now the two slept on the same bed every night, and Yu Yue didn't dare to give any suggestions - whoever paid for the money was the boss. Yu Yue didn't have such a shameless face, so he asked Lu Yanqing, the money-spending person, to go to the floor to sleep.
But to be honest, after changing to a new bed, Yu Yue's sleep quality has increased a lot. The bed is so big and soft. It feels like sleeping in the clouds when you lie on it, and it's all night until dawn. Now the heating hasn't come yet, and sleeping together is indeed much warmer than sleeping alone.
After spending a long time with his bed, Yu Yue gradually got used to the green tea flavor pheromone on the pillow and the quilt. He smelled it at night to soothe his nerves, smelled it in the morning, refreshed his mind... It is really a must-have item at home.
But Yu Yue knew clearly in his heart that the two of them could not have been sleeping together so confusedly.
Now that money is not good at it, he can only squeeze into a bed. After a while, he will collect the money from the stock market, then finalize the transfer of equity, and get back to Lu Yanqing with 10 million yuan. With this money, Qing'er will probably move out of his cramped little house. At that time, whether Lu Yanqing rents an apartment alone or returns to the single dormitory of the school, it will have nothing to do with him.
...
At this time, Lu Yanqing had no idea that his good brother had already planned the moving matter in advance.
Lu Yanqing is now full of working hard and changing to a four-piece silk set as soon as possible because the bedding is now sold at a discounted item in supermarkets. Lu Yanqing dislikes that inferior spinning will make his brother's skin red.
Only silk bedding is thin and smooth, warm in winter and cool in summer. After taking a shower, my brother would not feel uncomfortable even if he didn't wear clothes. Think about it, the smooth fabric wrapped around my brother's body. When he got up, the delicate satin as delicate as water would slide down his chest...
The fantasy came to an abrupt end. A well-known classmate named Lu who was absent from class moved almost without any proof and changed his seating position to cover up his strangeness.
But unfortunately, alpha's pheromones will not deceive people.
A classmate whispered: "Why is the gap between people so big? What the teacher said is so profound, I can't understand... But look at Lu Yanqing, his eyes are so sharp that he can't even suppress the smell of pheromone. This is what the teacher said about 'learning and learning is highly excited'. It's really worthy of being a god of learning."
Lu Xueshen: "..."
cough.
Today's festival is the history of drama art. The teacher started from ancient Greece. Sometimes it was the heel of Achilles, and sometimes it was Antigones who sacrificed his life and chose death. He quoted a lot and talked about the rise, and it took him half an hour to go on the hall.
After finally suffocating the get out of class, the students all became daylily. Only Lu Yanqing was still so energetic. He got up and packed his schoolbags, preparing to hurry up and rush to the company.
As a result, as soon as the teacher left, Xu Mofan stepped into the class.
As an acting class teacher, Xu Mofan is well aware of the social fears of his younger classmates. He rarely comes to the class unless there is something important. Usually, he will shout directly in the WeChat group when he encounters small matters such as collecting class fees and submitting physical examination forms. But if he enters the class, it means that there is something serious about it this time.
By the way, the last time he said that the "main business" was the school freshman party.
Lu Yanqing frowned and felt that today's affairs were not simple.
Xu Mofan stood on the podium, looked around at the big little beans below the stage, cleared his throat, and spoke in an official voice: "Students, we have been in school for several months. I believe everyone has gradually integrated into the life of the school, felt the college atmosphere that coexists rigorous and lively, and felt the learning atmosphere everywhere in the school... Now is the time for you to bring glory to the school and shine and heat!"
All students: "…"
What's the vague premonition about being high-profile, wearing a high hat, and huge pressure drops from the sky?
Xu Mofan quickly got to the point: "As we all know, there are only two top 2 universities in the country, but there are ten top 3 universities. It is said that Huashan Sword Competition, those with high skills will win. These ten top 3 universities hold a freshman English speech league every year, and all freshmen can sign up to participate."
"..." No one spoke.
"The competition process is very simple: the college will first elect a representative, conduct an on-campus competition, and the five judges will score it to determine the first place in the school; then the ten contestants from these ten schools will then hold the final... The final will be broadcast live on TV. Even if you cannot win the award, you can still show your face in front of the audience and all the students in the school. If you can get the first place, the college will give priority to the qualification for admission to graduate school!"
On the stage, Xu Mofan's speech was passionate and crazy about painting big cakes, and he took out his qualifications for admission as a temptation.
However, the freshmen in the audience are not that easy to fool. The Ten School League sounds beautiful, but if you think about it, you will know how many troubles it will involve.
This is a pure English speech competition. This alone defeats many people with low English speaking skills; secondly, freshmen are busy with homework and have to squeeze out time to prepare for wheel competitions, which will definitely squeeze out study time; even if they perform well in the first few rounds of competitions and stand out, they can represent the school to play in the Ten School League, but what if they fail in the finals? The pressure of the whole school is on their backs. If they can't get the top three, they will definitely be ridiculed by other schools.
As for the qualification for admission to graduate school?... I feel that if you have a stable grade point of 20%, you can be admitted to graduate school, or you can study abroad after graduation.
By this calculation, this face-showing business is really not cost-effective.
Everyone's minds were crackling, and no one wanted to be the first to be the first.
They were quails, and Xu Mofan was panicked on the podium.
Who made their college the smallest school in the school? There is only one department in total, with less than thirty people. Unlike the law school or economics school, there are hundreds of people, and they can even get a general.
Xu Mofan's eyes shuttled through the student group, and finally decided to sharpen his knife and attack his acquaintances.
"Junior Brother Lu," Xu Mofan said in a flattering tone, "You are the only alpha in our hospital, I think it's up to you to represent."
Lu Yanqing: "..." He was distracted for a long time. When he suddenly heard that he was called a name, he immediately raised his head and said without any guilt, "Senior brother, I, I stutter."
"..." Xu Mofan laughed twice, "Really? I don't believe it."
“And, and I’m very poor in English.”
"Hey, I remember that the course in "Introduction to European Art" was taught in pure English. You got full marks in the monthly exam." Xu Mofan was the acting class teacher, and of course he could check the grades of all students. "Also, haven't you been abroad for many years before you came back? At the beginning of school, someone sent you a note in Chinese, and you said you couldn't understand it."
Lu Yanqing couldn't pretend anymore, his face turned solemn, and he said seriously: "Senior Brother, I have already worked on behalf of the college before the freshman party. And now I have to go to the part-time internship every day after class, and I really don't have the energy to participate in the off-campus speech competition."
He really doesn't like to show off his face. For him, the game of "showing his face" in the eyes of others is really useless. If he appears in front of others once, he will have a greater possibility of revealing his identity.
Seeing that his attitude was so firm, Xu Mofan couldn't stand it.
"If Junior Brother Lu really doesn't want to, then I will report to the dean. Our Art Academy abstained from this English Speech League." Xu Mofan sighed leisurely and shook his head with emotion, "It's a pity that the bonus prepared in the academy this time seems to be a waste."
"...Senior brother stayed." Lu Yanqing stood up from his seat, "What bonus did you say?"
"Huh? Didn't I say it just now?" Xu Mofan opened his mouth exaggeratedly and pretended to squeeze out a surprised expression. "There is a bonus for this speech competition. If we can get the first place in the school, our college will reward 30,000 yuan. If we can win the top three in the league on behalf of the school, the college will reward 50,000 yuan; if we are the first in the league...hehe."
The word "hehe" is enough to arouse infinite reverie.
The School of Art is a well-known wealthy department. In order to encourage students to participate in the competition, the leaders of the school must of course give out a heavy reward!
For Lu Yanqing, a few tens of thousands of yuan, it was just a pair of shoes and a coat. He was too lazy to wash it even if he got dirty.
But now it's different!
Tens of thousands of yuan are enough for him to buy ten sets of silk four-piece sets!!
"Senior Brother," although Lu Yanqing knew that Xu Mofan was digging a hole for him, he could only jump down with his teeth. The alpha boy straightened his spine and showed a smirk like spring breeze, "It is my honor to bring glory to the academy. I will do my best in this competition."
...
For the tens of thousands of yuan of bonuses, Lu Yanqing took on the matter of the English Speech League.
He is busy with his studies and internships. Twenty-four hours a day were not enough, but thinking about the attractive competition bonus, he gritted his teeth and persevered.
He used his time to squeeze in public transportation every day to study the competition topics and contestants' speech videos. In this kind of speech competition, "good English speaking" is just an introductory condition, and what he really examined is the contestants' thinking logic.
Lu Yanqing had never participated in such a competition before. He had to do his best and could not relax for a moment.
That night, Ganoderma Technology Company worked overtime until late at night as usual. The whole office was dead, and the programmers looked dazed, and their hair was gone in order to get the bugs.
In the office, the sound of keyboard typing and yawning continues. The digital clock on the wall silently records the countdown of the project's online. Every time the clock jumps, it means that the time left for them is one more minute.
At this moment, the little girl from the logistics department squeezed into the office area with two large takeaway bags in her hand. She was small but not small, and the heavy takeaway bag was falling in her arms. I don’t know how she dragged it in alone.
"Everyone stop" the logistics girl said loudly, "──Boss, please treat everyone to midnight snack!!"
As she said that, the whole office suddenly became boiling. The tempting aroma of food came from the takeaway bag. Just by smelling it, it made people's index fingers tremble.
The programmers who were dying just now immediately jumped up from the workstation and rushed towards the takeaway bag like a hungry wolf.
"Aoaoaoaoaoao, thank you Mr. Ling! Mr. Ling is domineering!"
"Mr. Ling Ruisibai, I don't want to fight anymore. Can I let Mr. Ling take care of me?"
"Isn't it just a bug change? I can fight for another three hundred years after I'm full!"
The logistics girl was squeezed by the wolves and couldn't stand firm, but she still tried to increase her volume: "It's not Mr. Ling, the midnight snack was invited by the investors! The investors said that everyone would let everyone eat and drink well and maintain their health, so that they could continue to work for him, a capitalist!"
It doesn’t matter who invited him, as long as he could eat meat. Everyone changed their slogans in a good manner, shouted "Long live the money master's father", and then each received their own midnight snacks and returned to the workstation.
Of course I didn’t have the time to work when I was having midnight snacks. Some people opened the live broadcast app to watch the food broadcast, some opened the barrage website to watch the frozen eel, some people watched the video of picking their ears and squeezing their blackheads, and some people...
──Watching the "Ten Schools English Speech League: Collection of Previous Champions Speeches".
"Damn, Xiao Lu, are you studying?" The fat colleague sitting at the work station next to Lu Yanqing touched his head and glanced at Lu Yanqing's screen casually, but was scared.
Lu Yanqing took off his headphones, put down the half-eating midnight snack in his hand, turned to look at his colleagues, and explained: "I recently signed up for a speech contest and wanted to prepare well, so I was reading relevant information."
After he said this, his colleagues around him instantly gathered in a large area.
This Ten School English League has been held for many years. 80% of the colleagues in the company have graduated from Capital University, so of course they have heard of the title of this English League.
However, most programmers are afraid that they will give speeches on stage, which is better than Sharks and others.
This colleague said: "Xiao Lu, you are so awesome. I know this league. My roommate has participated on behalf of the college before, but he won the last place in the school."
The colleague said, "I am worthy of being a young man. I am very energetic. After class every day, I have to come here to work overtime with us, and I have to take advantage of the opportunity to prepare for the speech contest... Is your alpha's physical strength bar endless?"
Everyone was chatting enthusiastically, and a group of otaku betas were looking forward to the infinite energy of alpha.
At this moment, a hoarse female voice sounded from behind the crowd: "Hey, why don't you call me if you have a midnight snack?"
The sound was so familiar that everyone looked back and saw the company CEO Ling Zhi leaning against the door of the office, wearing a blanket.
To be continued...
