Chapter 187 Developing New Postures
The official response is the most fatal.
What Lu Yiming said was so logical and reasonable that it was impossible to refute it.
However, teachers these days represent authority. Zhu Hanwen saw through Lu Yiming's intention to be lazy and said directly, "Student Lu Yiming, you are wrong to think this way. Since you are confident that you can take a half-month leave at the beginning of the semester and still catch up on the courses, then participating in another competition should be a piece of cake for you. Your English speaking ability is so outstanding, and you got full marks in the written test. No one is more suitable for this competition than you. I have registered your name on behalf of our school today."
Lu Yiming: “…”
Wow, it's okay to make decisions on behalf of the organization, but voluntarily signing up is really a waste of time.
Sure enough, saying one thing in public and doing another behind the scenes, it’s an old tradition.
Zhu Hanwen's decision shocked the other students in the class.
The truth was that Lu Yiming's grades had always been very average, and in the past, it would have been a rare achievement for him to be admitted to a junior college.
In the exam last semester, I got a full score in English, which brought my overall grade to the middle of the class.
Many students would not agree that Lu Yiming's English is so good that he can be compared with the top students in the class who always perform well in every exam.
The most important thing is that Zhu Hanwen also said that Lu Yiming speaks fluently, which is even more confusing. After all, no one in the class has ever heard Lu Yiming speak English.
Nowadays, there are too many studious students who have excellent written test scores but are mute when they speak - not to mention students, even teachers are like this. They can talk about grammar very well and analyze questions with reason and evidence, but if you ask them to communicate with each other in English, it's like talking to a deaf person.
Therefore, Zhu Hanwen's statement that Lu Yiming spoke fluently was not convincing at all, and no one believed it.
Wu Kejun was whispering to Wu Qiuya, "Lu Yiming is good at speaking English? How did Teacher Zhu know that? I have never heard Lu Yiming speak English."
Wu Qiuya showed her signature dimple smile: "What didn't he say? Doesn't he always say hello to people?"
Wu Kejun was shocked: "Is this possible?"
On the podium, Zhu Hanwen did not pay attention to the students' thoughts. He just counted the number of people who registered and was already satisfied.
With Lu Yiming here, I will at least be able to show up in school this time. Even if I'm bold enough, I can go to the city to win an award or something, which would be even better!
"Study on your own, do your homework and read books, and don't make any noise. I will submit the list to the grade group."
As soon as Zhu Hanwen left, the classroom suddenly became lively.
After class, Shi Qingxue couldn't help but approach Lu Yiming out of curiosity, and looked at his eyes, ears, mouth and nose curiously, blinking her eyes: "Lu Yiming, by the way, when did your spoken English get better?"
Lu Yiming twitched his eyebrows proudly: "As for me, I have always been excellent, but I just couldn't hide it recently."
Shi Qingxue was amused and burst out laughing. She poked Lu Yiming's cheek with her slender finger: "You are so shameless. You shine brightly when the sun shines."
The two were talking and laughing when Wu Qiuya came slowly over with lotus steps.
She walked to Lu Yiming's seat, stroked the ends of her hair with her fingers, and showed her signature gentle smile, dimples, and sweet voice: "Student Lu Yiming, can you help me improve my English speaking skills?"
In the distance, Li Zhengkai, who heard these words and saw this scene, almost had the pain engraved on his forehead.
He clearly heard the sound of his own heart breaking.
When Lu Yiming saw Wu Qiuya coming up to him again, he became very depressed.
What is this about?
Is this ever going to end?
Improve your speaking skills?
It's just an excuse.
Would you like me to help you develop new postures?
Lu Yiming is no longer a mediocre person. No matter how charming Wu Qiuya's eyes are or how sweet her voice is, he has experienced many vicissitudes of life and will not fall for it anymore.
Wu Qiuya's charm and elegance might be able to charm those impulsive boys, but Lu Yiming had been struggling in life for more than 20 years in his previous life, and had been polished by work and life into a copper pea that could neither be steamed nor cooked. Although he looked smooth, he was actually strong and tough.
Only Shi Qingxue is the only soft spot left in his heart.
Seeing an unhappy expression on Shi Qingxue's face, Lu Yiming glanced around and saw Li Zhengkai. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said to Wu Qiuya, "Teacher Zhu is just talking nonsense. Do you believe it? In my opinion, Akai's spoken English is very good. Isn't he often leading the reading in the English morning self-study class? Go find him. He's fine."
Li Zhengkai was feeling sad alone, when he suddenly heard Lu Yiming take the initiative to match him with Wu Qiuya, and he was immediately overjoyed. When he looked at Lu Yiming again, he felt that this guy had become much more sensible and was not as annoying as before.
Then he came over and patted his chest to assure Wu Qiuya: "Yes, if you want to improve your oral English, I can help you. Although I dare not boast that I am the best in oral English, I think I still have no rivals in the class. After all, my neighbor is a foreigner from the United States. Whenever he is free, I will practice with him."
Wu Qiuya was originally Xiang Zhuang dancing with a sword, her real purpose was to practice speaking, her real purpose was to take the opportunity to get in touch with Lu Yiming, she didn't care at all whether her speaking was good or not.
But she was a smart tea artist. She knew that if she rejected Lu Yiming's proposal, everyone would know that she had ulterior motives, and there might be no room for maneuver in this matter.
So she pretended to be obedient and said, "Student Lu Yiming, you misunderstood. Student Li Zhengkai is of course also very good, but this English competition is after all a competition with other schools in the city, so we must be fully prepared. What I mean is that we should organize all the students who have registered in the class, join forces, and jointly improve everyone's English scores. After all, we are classmates, and we must be united in facing the outside world."
After hearing this, Lu Yiming was shocked.
Wow, this tea artist’s level is just a little bit higher than he imagined!
At such a young age, you already know how to manipulate public opinion?
If Lu Yiming didn't agree now, he would be considered a selfish villain who was unwilling to help his classmates . How could he survive in the class when he was criticized by thousands of people? He couldn't endure other students pointing fingers at him all day long, could he?
I have to say that women who can become tea artists are all very talented.
Wu Kejun, Zhan Jingyun and others had no idea of Wu Qiuya's intention, but when they heard what Wu Qiuya said was so reasonable, they immediately jumped out to show their support and expressed their strong support.
"Wu Qiuya, this is a good idea. Since we have all signed up, let's help each other, learn from each other's strengths, and make progress together."
"Yes, we are classmates. If we want to win honor for our class, we should work together."
Lu Yiming looked at Wu Qiuya's smiling face and suddenly didn't know what to say.
Wu Qiuya, however, was "sincere and sincere". She clasped her hands together in front of Lu Yiming and pleaded softly, "Teacher Zhu said that your spoken English is the best in our class. Can you please help us? I beg you."
