1572: What Are You Thinking About? (2 More)
Zhou Yi didn't dare to think about it.
The Chinese restaurant provided two meals, and received a salary of $80 in the past 12 days, which was less than Zhou Yi expected.
But without having to pay for food, she can actually support herself. The $1,000 she borrowed from Xia Xiaolan can be repaid in advance... She had such a plan, but Xiao Qi persuaded her:
"If you're worried that you won't be able to pass the exam, then reduce the time you spend working. Six hours a day is too long. You've spent all your time working, what about the language school?"
Zhou Yi's head was about to explode.
Working in a Chinese restaurant solved her living expenses, but it also really delayed her study time.
From 7:00 in the morning to 10:00 in the evening, there are only 16 hours of sleepless time, 6 hours of black work, and other trivial delays, Zhou Yi's real study time is only about 8 hours.
Did she really study for 8 hours?
If you only study one course, everyone will feel tired of learning. If you study efficiently for 8 hours, the effect must be very good... If Zhou Yi can do it, she will not panic when the exam is coming.
Strange to say, she clearly knew a super university tyrant Xia Xiaolan, but she refused to ask Xia Xiaolan how to study well, but Ye Xiaoqiong and Xiao Qi, friends who had just met, always listened carefully to what they said.
By reducing the working hours, Zhou Yi was afraid that he would not be able to pay back Xia Xiaolan's money as scheduled.
Without reducing her working hours, she was worried that she would not be able to pass the assessment.
Fearing wolves before and tigers later, this is Zhou Yi's character, a coward without decisive power. She didn't want to let it go, so Xiao Qi suggested that she go back to the dormitory to stay up late to study after finishing her work in the evening.
Anyway, the bedroom is not turned off the lights.
"We used to study one or two o'clock every night before the college entrance examination!"
Xiao Qi said it very naturally, and Zhou Yi was crying.
...to learn a thing or two? Is that still life?
She didn't dare to refute Xiao Qi, for fear of revealing her timidity.
Xiaoqi passed the college entrance examination. After graduating from college, he was assigned to work in a newspaper office. Affected by the craze for going abroad, he could not apply for a public service from his unit to go abroad, so he resigned his iron job directly to the United States.
Zhou Yi is a scumbag. He has never even experienced whether the college entrance examination is round or flat, and the secondary school is also arranged at home. I really don't know how hard people who study hard can treat themselves.
Zhou Yi felt that she had worked hard enough, and Xiao Qi immediately told her that it would not be considered hard work until one or two o'clock in the morning.
Zhou Yi is skeptical:
"But I know a person who took the college entrance examination while doing small business, and later became the champion of the province."
This is Xia Xiaolan.
Just not by name.
Xiao Qi did not refute, but patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder:
"Can this person be compared to another person? Some people can memorize the same number of words once they have memorized them once, while others can only memorize seven, seven, eight, eight after a dozen or so times. We are ordinary people with ordinary aptitudes. Don't compare yourself to those geniuses."
Zhou Yi: "...!"
Damn, it makes sense, she can't refute a word.
Zhou Yi was exhausted to death. Thinking of the upcoming exam, she dragged her tired steps back to school and stayed up late to study.
After only staying up for one night, Zhou Yi felt that her footsteps were weak.
The next day, I was listless and dragged by Xiao Qi to the Chinese restaurant.
It just so happened that Xia Xiaolan finished her morning work and came out of the theater, preparing to have lunch nearby with her colleagues. Xia Xiaolan, as the team leader of the renovation of the theater, does not need to bring her own bgm when she walks. When a group of people comes out, she is also the one who walks in the middle of the stars.
Zhou Yi subconsciously dragged Xiao Qi away.
"What are you doing? Know?"
A group of foreigners, Zhou Yi can only know, it is estimated that only the beautiful Chinese woman.
This is clearly a group of professionals.
Such a young Chinese woman can walk in the middle, and Xiao Qi is also very curious: "Do you still know such a person?"
Zhou Yi opened her mouth, why couldn't she know each other, or else it would be her younger brother and sister.
"She is the champion of the province I said."
When she was in China, Zhou Yi never envied Xia Xiaolan's wealth, what she envied was other aspects.
When he arrived in the United States, Zhou Yi could feel the difference between Xia Xiaolan and Xia Xiaolan more and more. It was just like a big ditch!
Xiao Qi was curious, Zhou Yi did not say who Xia Xiaolan was, but told about Xia Xiaolan.
I heard that Xia Xiaolan came to the United States as an exchange student through an English competition, and the Department of Architecture of Cornell University was able to intern at gmp firm. Xiao Qi looked at Zhou Yi as if she was looking at a fool.
Xiao Qi has never attended an international student party. If she did, she would have recognized Xia Xiaolan long ago.
In this way, she also felt strange:
"Look at her, is she just an intern? Zhou Yi, you are willing to wash dishes in a Chinese restaurant without worshipping a Buddha!"
Also working.
What useful experience can you gain from working in the greasy kitchen of a Chinese restaurant?
Can you still wash dishes for a lifetime?
But if she is an intern in a big American company...Xiao Qi's breathing is a little short. She came to the United States to do big things. If Zhou Yi has the resources, she will definitely avoid countless wrongs!
Xiaoqi hated that iron was not steel, and Zhou Yi scolded:
"Didn't you say that we can only work undercover when we get a student visa, and it's useless to ask her to help!"
Xiao Qi is good at poking her,
"You are stupid or not. It doesn't matter that poor students can only work underworld. Students who are related can go to 'internships' in the name of the school. Any company's internship subsidy is more than I can get for a month! You don't want this opportunity. I don't know how many people will break their heads to grab it. It's not only to solve the living expenses. You are worried about the 101-level test and assessment, but you never thought that this female classmate you know can kill other college students in Huaguo. Relying on the English competition to win the special prize as an exchange student...what are you thinking?"
Is there a better person to ask than this?
Language school teachers, after all, are not one-to-one teaching.
Xiaoqi thinks that if you can win a special prize in the competition in China, the English level must be the same as your mother tongue.
A Chinese who can speak English as well as his native language must have his own way of learning.
Zhou Yi didn't want to cherish the opportunity, but Xiao Qi really wanted to ask Xia Xiaolan for advice.
Xiao Qi is now stuck at level 108, and he doesn't know how to go up or down.
No, Zhou Yi must go to worship this Buddha, or Xiao Qi is embarrassed to come to the door.
"Zhou Yi, let me tell you..."
...
Xia Xiaolan felt that she saw Zhou Yi just now.
Looking back again, the person was gone, and I don't know if he was avoiding her on purpose.
Xia Xiaolan didn't think much about it. It was always right for Zhou Yi to endure more hardships. Whether or not she studied hard, the language school test could explain everything. She came out of the theater in the afternoon, and Matthew poked his head at the door:
"There's a party over Tina's side, are you going?"
Xia Xiaolan has no interest in any party at all, she was planning to drive back to Ithaca.
But now she suspects that Tina is related to Faen and Xu Zhongyi, and she wants to quietly wait for the opportunity to approach the two brothers and sisters.
"Go, why don't I go!"
