Chapter 367: Do I have to learn a foreign language in the car?
Li Zhengdong has been in a pretty good mood these days.
He really enjoyed the feeling of his improved status in the student union. Every time he went out for a drink with student union members, everyone called him "minister", which gave him a sense of elated enjoyment.
Of course, there are more things that make Li Zhengdong in a particularly good mood.
In response to the freshman's reckless provocation, Li Zhengdong simply told his uncle who ran a shop that he needed the resume to enrich his learning experience. He then received a grant of 2,000 yuan from his uncle, plus some expiring food and drinks that could be used as snacks and gifts for the party.
All in all, it's almost two thousand five hundred yuan. In the external relations department, this sponsorship is definitely a dazzling amount of money.
So he didn't take Xu Cheng's provocation seriously at all.
in addition.
The freshman girl Tian Xiaoyu whom he met recently was also one of the reasons why Li Zhengdong was in a good mood.
This girl always seems to be quite proactive when she is in front of him.
Just thinking back to the scene where she kept shouting at him, "Minister is so great~" and "Minister is so awesome~", Li Zhengdong couldn't help but giggle like a pervert.
Maybe there will be some development in the future...
Li Zhengdong was thinking when the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
He took it out and looked at the screen, and the note on it was "External Relations Department: Tian Xiaoyu".
Li Zhengdong tried hard to calm himself down, cleared his throat, pressed the answer button, and spoke in a voice that he thought was extremely attractive.
"Hello? What's wrong, Xiaoyu?"
Tian Xiaoyu's voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little anxious.
"Senior, I just heard something..."
"What's going on? Is it serious?"
Li Zhengdong still kept smiling and hinted tactfully, "How about you find a place for us to talk in detail?"
Tian Xiaoyu was a little speechless, but still continued.
"Senior, I just heard from a classmate I know in the External Relations Department that Xu Cheng alone brought in 50,000 yuan in sponsorship for our External Relations Department."
“I see…”
Li Zhengdong hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem yet. After three seconds of digesting it, his face, which had been full of affection just now, instantly became flustered and shocked.
"What did you say?"
"Xu Cheng got 50,000 yuan in sponsorship?!"
Hearing Li Zhengdong's voice rise, Tian Xiaoyu cursed him inwardly as a loser, and then replied.
"Yes, I heard it was 50,000 yuan in cash."
Li Zhengdong was even more dumbfounded. He thought, could Xu Cheng be a second-generation rich man? How could he spend 50,000 yuan at once?
"Where did he get so much money? And...how did you know about this?"
"It seems to be the Qingzhou company that runs Weibo and Hapi.com. Just now, their company manager came to discuss the detailed plan for publicity and promotion with the director, but the director was not there. Only a classmate I know was there, and he told me about this."
Tian Xiaoyu answered truthfully, "Minister, what should we do? I remember you and Xu Cheng had a bet, didn't you?"
There was no sound from Li Zhengdong's end.
He felt as if he had been slapped in the face, like a clown.
In the previous second, he was still feeling proud of his 2,500 yuan, but in the next second he found out that Xu Cheng had actually secured a sponsorship of 50,000 yuan.
Where does this kid get such great ability?
While Li Zhengdong was shocked, he also quickly analyzed it in his head.
From his observation, Xu Cheng was not wearing any brand-name clothes and did not look like a child from a wealthy family.
Then why does he have any connection with Qingzhou?
Maybe it was just that this guy named Xu Cheng found a suitable sponsor?
Indeed, Internet companies like Qingzhou are very suitable for promotion in a university environment.
Facebook on the other side of the ocean also started by gradually gaining ground in major universities. Perhaps Qingzhou also wants to repeat this path.
As long as it is a simple business relationship, he still has a chance to turn the tables.
Thinking about the bet he made in high spirits, Li Zhengdong felt that if he really got kicked out of the Foreign Affairs Press, where would he find a place in Jiaotong University?
The dust has not settled yet, everything is not over yet, there is still a chance.
No matter what, I have to win.
Li Zhengdong picked up the phone.
"Junior, are you still in the External Relations Department? Is your manager still there? Can you help me find his contact information?"
"ah?"
Tian Xiaoyu was stunned for a few seconds.
But she soon guessed what Li Zhengdong was thinking.
Minister Li is going to... pick peaches?!
Is this a bit unethical?
Tian Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, then made a decision with all her heart.
Anyway, she has been unhappy with Xu Cheng for a long time, and she doesn't want Xu Cheng to be in the spotlight like this.
"Okay, Minister. I happen to be nearby. I'll go over and help you take a look..."
…
…
The other side.
"Yes, I understand."
"It's okay. Just play with him first. I want to see what trouble he can cause."
"Since he has done this on his own, don't blame me for making him lose face in the end."
Xu Cheng hung up the phone, and Lin Wanzhou beside him looked at him curiously.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing. Have you submitted the registration form?"
"Well, just wait for the results."
The two came to the cultural and sports center to submit club registration forms. Lin Wanzhou planned to sign up for the debate club of Jiaotong University. As an engineering school, the debate club of Jiaotong University was surprisingly famous in the country, which also attracted Lin Wanzhou who had a great interest in debate.
As for why Xu Cheng signed up, it was of course because he also had a strong interest in debate, and he was definitely not worried that there would be some bad guy in the debate club who wanted to take his girl away.
He has a big heart and is definitely not worthy of the title of Jealous King of East Asia.
"I don't have classes this afternoon, what do you plan to do?" Xu Cheng asked.
Lin Wanzhou put her delicate fingers to her mouth.
"Well... I need to go to the library to . Besides, I haven't done today's listening test yet."
"Listening comprehension questions? Did the teacher assign them?" Xu Cheng asked curiously.
"I arranged this myself. I plan to start preparing from now on and try to pass the CET-4 this semester."
"???"
Xu Cheng was stunned when he heard this.
"Hey, hey, hey, Lin Wanzhou, do you need to prepare for Level 4? Shouldn't it be easy to pass with your level?"
"Of course we need to prepare."
Lin Wanzhou looked at Xu Cheng as if he were a fool.
"You don't think that the CET-4 exam is just a matter of passing, do you?"
"Isn't that it?" Xu Cheng scratched his head. He had never heard of such a statement in his previous life when he was in college.
Lin Wanzhou spoke slowly.
"Although 425 points is set as the passing score, the paper score is more important. When you are looking for a job or taking the postgraduate entrance examination in the future, most HRs and tutors will ask you about your CET-4 or CET-6 scores instead of whether you passed them. They will ask you how many points you actually got."
The girl recalled everything she had heard from Pei Xueqi and told it to Xu Cheng proudly.
Xu Cheng exclaimed in amazement, "Is that so?"
"Yes, and I keep practicing to prevent my English ability from regressing. It will also be helpful for the CET-6 and the postgraduate entrance examination."
Xu Cheng rubbed his eyes and looked at the girl next to him with some admiration.
"That's great, Lin Wanzhou. I didn't expect you to have such a clear plan for your college goals since your freshman year."
He really admired her. Some people would feel that the purpose of studying was achieved after entering college and start to slack off, but Lin Wanzhou was able to maintain a progressive attitude and keep moving forward.
This is probably why he likes girls.
Being around her, he couldn't help but be inspired by her ambition and fighting spirit to keep moving forward.
“You have a very clear plan…”
Being praised by him, Lin Wanzhou lowered his head a little embarrassedly and muttered softly.
In her eyes, her childhood sweetheart is also a super shining boy.
Xu Cheng has been making money step by step since he was a child, and now he has his own company.
It would be more accurate to say that she was afraid that she would not be able to catch up with her childhood sweetheart rather than consciously planning her college goals.
But she doesn't find it hard.
The process of the two of them progressing and becoming better together made her feel that the feelings and love between them as childhood sweethearts became as precious and valuable as treasures.
"But let's take a break today." Xu Cheng said, "How about we go shopping together this afternoon? It seems like we haven't had a good time together since we came to the Magic City."
Faced with Xu Cheng's proposal, the girl was naturally quite tempted.
"But……"
"No buts, you must have prepared a lot of content for advanced mathematics in advance, as for English listening practice, I can help you practice it on the way."
After hearing what Xu Cheng said, Lin Wanzhou felt that this guy was really cunning.
He didn't say not to do it, but by going out with him, she could complete it at the same time, which really touched the girl's soft spot.
"Well... okay then." Lin Wanzhou was like a proud little deer, humming for a while and then nodded.
Then I happily jumped out of the campus with him.
The sun was shining brightly, and the gentle breeze made the windmill toys sold at the roadside stalls spin.
The girl held up her smooth neck.
When you go out with the person you love, the wind along the way seems to be sweet.
"Xu Cheng, I want to go play somewhere farther away from school."
"Let's go to the Bund. It's very prosperous there."
The two of them were like an ordinary college couple, waiting for the bus at the station.
Lin Wanzhou kicked the curb next to him with his shoes for more than ten minutes before the bus he was waiting for finally arrived .
The girl raised her head and glanced at the carriage, frowning. Why was it so full? There were more people than any other train she had squeezed into in Jinghai, but it would take a long time to wait for the next one. Seeing that Xu Cheng had already lined up at the door, she gritted her teeth and got on the train.
There were no seats, so the two found a small space in the carriage where they could stand.
Fortunately, with Xu Cheng's support, Lin Wanzhou felt as if there was a mountain in front of her to block everything for her. As long as she hid at the foot of the mountain, nothing would happen.
She hesitated and grabbed the hem of Xu Cheng's clothes. She wanted to curl up in Xu Cheng's arms, but she felt that this place was still near the school and she was afraid of being seen by acquaintances, so she stood on tiptoe and grabbed the pull ring on the roof.
As a result, the next second, the girl felt someone touching her little hand on the pull ring.
She looked up in horror and found that the owner of the hand was Xu Cheng. She angrily kicked his calves with her feet to vent her dissatisfaction.
However, the little hand that was holding the pull ring did not retract. Instead, the other little hand took the initiative to put it into Xu Cheng's clothes pocket.
There was some noise in the carriage, and the girl huddled against Xu Cheng's chest and whispered.
"Xu Cheng, I feel a bit like I was going to and from school in high school."
"Yes, there are some. Don't forget your English listening practice. Please listen carefully to the following words and make the corresponding actions."
While Lin Wanzhou was still trying to figure out how Xu Cheng asked the questions, the boy had already started to speak out the words.
"clasp."
“…”
The girl blushed when she heard this, but as the car drove away from the school, she became bolder.
She stretched out the little hand that was in Xu Cheng's pocket and gently put it on his back.
"mistake."
Xu Cheng shook his head and the girl frowned.
"What's wrong with that? Doesn't clasp mean hug?"
"That's not right. Although clasp has the same translation as hug, both mean to hug, but hug is a common hug, while clasp emphasizes a hug around the neck or waist, so you got this question wrong."
Lin Wanzhou pouted and listened to him finish his story.
Although he was unwilling to accept it, he had to admit that it was ultimately because of his insufficient reserves that he suffered this loss.
She snorted softly and moved her little hand back to Xu Cheng's waist.
I won't hug his neck.
"You just know a lot of these words that can be used to take advantage of others."
"Just say whether you are qualified for the test or not, Lin Wanzhou. If you can't answer the difficult questions, then I will give you an easy one."
When Lin Wanzhou heard that Xu Cheng was going to ask more questions, he raised his head and looked at his face seriously.
Then I saw this guy shamelessly pointing at his mouth.
"Kiss."
"Go away."
"Stop, stop. Okay, the next question is about the explanation of a word. Please listen carefully to the question. Do you know what it means?"
"An old word, meaning you, thou, or you."
Xu Cheng was surprised. "That's ok. You know all this."
"Humph, that's not a problem for me at all."
The girl became proud.
After getting off the bus, I took the subway.
As he got further away from school, Lin Wanzhou seemed to be getting braver, but from another perspective, he was getting braver.
It became bigger because she would take the initiative to hold Xu Cheng's hand, and the two of them would hold hands and ride in the car together like a couple.
The reason why she became smaller was that in this strange city, she wanted to stick to the guy next to her, to hug him around the waist and clamp her legs around him. Otherwise, if she was one centimeter away, the girl would feel a complete loss of security and feel extremely uneasy.
However, with so many people around, the reserved Lin Wanzhou felt that holding hands was already the limit, and of course she would not really do such a thing.
And even when holding hands, she controlled the distance between them very well, not too much, not too little, just a comfortable distance -
Eighteen centimeters.
A little more or a little less won't do...
