799: Everyone Can Make Progress (3 More)

To be the most famous student in the country?

This is not what Xia Xiaolan wants.

Why is she fighting for this kind of fame? Now that she is still young, it is the right way to keep a low profile and make a fortune.

"Mr. Catherine, I don't understand what you mean."

During last year's finals, the TV station sent a camera crew to record the whole process, saying it was going to be broadcast on TV, but there was no news after the recording. If it wasn't for Catherine today, Xia Xiaolan would have forgotten about it.

Xia Xiaolan didn't quite understand how to become the most famous student in the country in one game.

Catherine came to buy clothes. Silk Street was originally a haunt of foreigners like her. Catherine lived nearby, and it was not the first time she came to the store. Xia Xiaolan had missed her all the time.

"Xia, the finals were all videotaped. The 20 contestants who entered the oral test were recorded for several hours. There was also the written test session in the morning. The TV program team edited 10 episodes. You are the overall champion. , everyone watching the show will know you!"

Xia Xiaolan has almost all the characteristics of being famous.

Well done in the final.

School is good.

People are beautiful and photogenic.

Catherine was very optimistic about Xia Xiaolan. She said that writing a letter of recommendation to Xia Xiaolan was no joke, and foreign universities would not reject such a Chinese female student.

In a final, the TV station can cut 10 episodes, and Xia Xiaolan is also convinced.

However, Xia Xiaolan didn't think so much about Catherine's claim to be famous in the country. In the final, 20 contestants took oral exams one after another. Even if her oral exam took a little longer, it would be one episode out of 10.

If this is the kind of talent show in the future, it is almost the same as the promotion of one phase, and the concentration of resources to make stars.

Katherine's words were too exaggerated, and Xia Xiaolan didn't care when she heard it. Chinese people are reserved, and foreigners speak with a three-point exaggeration. Fortunately, Teacher Catherine is British.

"Xia, do you remember when I said I wanted to write you a letter of recommendation? I consulted my friends in the UK about this. If you are interested in this, you can talk to me in detail. The TV station for the finals is 30 The first episode aired."

Catherine was shopping with friends, and it was too long to talk to Xia Xiaolan. She wrote down the detailed address and contact number for Xia Xiaolan, and emphasized "callme" twice. Xia Xiaolan could feel Catherine's sincerity.

Holding the note, she felt that she was probably going to let Katherine's good intentions down.

Xia Xiaolan has not decided whether to study abroad or not.

Even if she wants to study abroad, in order to find a son for her grandmother, Xia Xiaolan will choose the United States, and the chance of going to the United Kingdom is very small.

Although the architecture major of a British university is very famous all over the world, Xia Xiaolan put Katherine's contact information in her pocket, and when she turned her head, the two shop assistants looked at her in awe.

"Wang Lin, what's wrong with you?"

"Mr. Xia, your English is really good. Every time there are foreign guests, you can easily sell your clothes. Unlike us, it's all about hand gestures."

Xia Xiaolan felt that Ning Xue was a god of learning, but in the eyes of ordinary people, she was not adulterated as a scholar.

Wang Lin's tone was envious, and Xia Xiaolan smiled: "You can also learn English. Mastering a foreign language is useful at any time. In the short term, it is convenient for you to communicate with foreign guests, sell more clothes, and improve your performance. In the long run. Look, it can help you advance in your career."

There are not many iron rice bowls in the true sense. Even the employees of state-owned enterprises who seem to be iron rice bowls will be in danger of being laid off in the future.

To be a salesperson in a clothing store is to eat youth meals. You can sell clothes at the age of 20, and you can also sell at the age of 30.

But at the age of 40 or 50, he was still the most basic salesperson. From Xia Xiaolan's point of view, he did not seek to be motivated.

"Mr. Xia, can we learn English?"

Xia Xiaolan asked back: "Why can't you learn? I'm not afraid that you will get higher commissions, or that you will quit your job if you become excellent. I personally hope that you can work hard to improve your overall strength. Whether you can speak English is just one of them."

Only Wang Lin was chasing after Xia Xiaolan to ask questions.

The other clerk was not very interested. From the same starting point, one was enterprising, and the other was not afraid of danger. The watershed in life may have been buried from this moment.

Seeing that Wang Lin really wanted to learn English, Xia Xiaolan told Wang Lin the method she gave to Chen Qing before, and also gave Wang Lin a dictionary and two tapes.

"Language learning is accumulation. If you don't know the basic vocabulary, saying anything about grammar is heresy. You are more blessed with a learning environment than others. This is Silk Street, and foreign guests often come to the store. You said that this is a great learning opportunity. ?"

Don't be greedy, 10 words a day, more than 3,000 words a year.

This vocabulary is enough for simple everyday conversations.

Xia Xiaolan asked Wang Lin if she didn't understand anything, just ask her.

But Wang Lin has to work hard on her own. It is impossible for Xia Xiaolan to start teaching from 26 letters and vowels and consonants. She is Wang Lin's boss, not Wang Lin's teacher!

Others have no obligation to impart knowledge to others in vain.

The ancient Great Confucian students all had to do their homework. When Xia Xiaolan received Ning Xue's invitation for the second time at school, she knew that she had to go to Ning's house officially - what did Ning mean, she kept asking Ning Xue guide her.

The old gentleman can clearly say that Xia Xiaolan, who has enjoyed the benefits, can't continue to play stupid.

"You, you just think too much, and sometimes you are too cautious."

I heard that Xia Xiaolan is going to carry a gift

In the Ning family, Grandma Yu muttered a few words.

Xia Xiaolan remembered what Teacher Catherine said, "By the way, I met the judge teacher of the English competition in the store. She told me that TV 30 was going to show the video of the finals."

"The 30th is tomorrow night!"

April is approaching, and we can still sell spring clothes for more than a month. Liu Fen originally decided to go to Yangcheng again to change a few styles and choose some new styles. Hearing that, he immediately decided to finish watching the TV show and go. On the train, she missed it!

"You don't have to be in such a hurry, I'm the 17th to appear, and I may not be in the first episode."

Liu Fen didn't listen.

Xia Xiaolan couldn't understand her mood at all. As a mother, she would be proud even if her daughter achieved a little achievement, not to mention winning an award in a national competition. Liu Fen would rather make less money than miss a TV show where her daughter might appear!

...

The plane from Beijing to Yangcheng landed successfully.

In Yangcheng at the end of March, it was just right to wear a spring dress. Xia Ziyu was carrying a suitcase, and after a new look, she looked quite temperamental.

She used the pretext of Xia Hongbing's family of three being detained in the detention center, and asked Wang Jianhua to help get the plane tickets.

After leaving the airport, Xia Ziyu didn't mean to go to the detention center at all, but went straight to Pengcheng. The second time, she still didn't have a border defense certificate and needed to drill through the barbed wire to enter the customs. Xia Ziyu could sense how strange the eyes of others were looking at her... She swears that this kind of experience will never happen a third time!
