An open-air dining table, a blonde woman playing the guitar, and the rich aroma of coffee.
After Xiaoqi and his group had eaten and drunk their fill, they planned to take the bus. When they were crossing a student street, they saw this store.
There are books, music, steak, coffee and so on, and the most noticeable thing is a bunch of foreigners.
At first glance, I thought I was abroad.
There are so many foreigners here, it’s the first time Xiaoqi has seen it with his own eyes.
These should all be foreign teachers from Enhua University, and there are a few children among them.
There is a baby still in the stroller, but he has golden hair and is so pretty.
Enhua University does not recruit international students, but it is famous for having many foreign teachers.
The scene in front of him felt very special, and Xiaoqi was looking forward to the next class.
After all, learning English by yourself definitely feels different from learning with a foreign teacher.
The bus stop was not far away, and they arrived soon after walking. The bus runs every five minutes and the route goes back and forth between the old and new campuses. There were quite a lot of people there, all young faces.
Enhua University is very prosperous.
The bus runs along the mountain, with the mountain on one side and the wall on the other, circling the school campus.
The speed is not fast, it feels like the ride takes about ten minutes.
Just take a bus from Student Street in the new district to Student Street in the old district. It costs one dollar per person and you can just swipe your student ID.
On campus, basic student ID cards are accepted.
After returning to the old district and walking back to the dormitory from Student Street, there was still some distance to go and it still felt quite tiring.
When they arrived at the dormitory entrance, Chen Mier asked them to wait. She stood in front of several large billboards and saw various messages posted on them.
All the news from the school:
"The student council starts selection this weekend."
"The club is recruiting new students!!"
"Registration for the Campus Top Ten Singer Competition has begun."
"We have added an English corner to Nanguan Tower. Everyone is welcome to participate."
It looks a bit like a notice posted by the village office.
It's quite formal, and there's even the student union seal under the student union's message.
Chen Mier read it very seriously. People who collect a lot of gossip are indeed very different. She is more sensitive to all kinds of news.
Xiaoqi thinks this is worth learning. When she was in high school, she only focused on studying, did not participate in any activities, and had average relationships with her classmates. However, even though she focused on studying, she did not do well in her studies.
You feel inferior when you see others having close relationships. In fact, you have to take the initiative in many things. You can't wait for others to pay attention to you or accommodate you. You are not born to be the protagonist.
I heard that there is a student union in college. The student union of Enhua University is said to have particularly great power. They have a separate building for the student union. Xiaoqi is quite curious about it. It is equivalent to a power organization between students and teachers.
The teachers in the school don’t care about anything and just teach.
Those lectures, parties, and other trivial matters are said to be organized by the Student Union.
There are also many different clubs. Xiaoqi saw photography clubs, painting clubs, golf clubs, and horseback riding clubs... It felt a bit far away. She seemed to have never seen a living horse since she was a child. There were cows and donkeys in their hometown, but no horses.
As for golf, I've only seen it on TV and it's too far away in real life.
The recruitment photo for the equestrian club is so beautiful, with a beautiful girl riding on a horse, looking bold and free.
And inside the golf club is a picture of a young, well-dressed boy swinging a golf club.
Like a star.
Xiaoqi calmed down and looked at other things.
Then came the Campus Top Ten Singer Competition. Xiao Qi saw that the prize for the champion was 20,000 yuan... She had worked so hard in swimming training, and finally won the Jingnan Province 200m freestyle championship, but the prize money was only 15,000 yuan. And here, any random singing competition on campus had a prize of 20,000 yuan. Xiao Qi thought it was outrageous...
Really rich.
Xiaoqi has always been very positive about things that can make money in a legitimate way.
She looked at the content carefully again. This competition is open to all teachers and students in the school. It is hosted by the vocal music club and co-organized by the school student union. All teachers and students in the school can sign up to participate. The registration deadline is September 7th.
Xiao Qi looked at it carefully. If they were selected as the top ten, each person would get 3,000 yuan, 20,000 yuan for the first place, 10,000 yuan for the second place, and 8,000 yuan for the third place.
She felt that no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. Regardless of the champion, being in the top ten should be no problem. 3,000 yuan could normally last her a long time, so she decided to sign up for the competition.
Then I saw the introduction of the English Corner and carefully looked at the specific time and place in the notice.
The English corners in different teaching buildings have different hours. The newly added Nanguan Building is open every Tuesday and Thursday, and there are at least two foreign teachers there every time.
There are also illustrations, a bit like the ones in foreign TV dramas, where everyone sits in a circle, each person speaks for a while, and then they can ask questions.
It seems quite interesting. You can check it out. It is rare to have a free foreign teacher to help you practice speaking. In Lushan City, if you want to find a foreigner to practice English with you, you don’t know how much it will cost.
At this time, Xiaoqi felt that Enhua University was not bad. Although the tuition was expensive, it seemed that there were many opportunities in the school. No wonder people had previously commented that Enhua University had a high employment rate. After spending four years in such a proactive school, it should not be difficult to find a job.
And when your thinking and perspective change, you will feel that there are opportunities everywhere.
Students are very tolerant and have many opportunities to try and make mistakes. If you don’t dare to make mistakes now, you will be even more nervous when you enter society in the future.
"Classmate, you should participate in the Top Ten Singers competition. There will definitely be a prize. You can treat us to a meal with the prize money." Chen Mier said.
Wei Cheng also agreed quietly: "Well, Xiao Qi, I think you can do it. You sing well."
Gu Yunshu did not comment. She was not interested in the prize money, nor was she interested in appearing in front of the public.
Xiao Qi nodded and said, "Sure, when I get the bonus, I'll treat you guys to hot pot."
Xiaoqi took a picture of the registration for the top ten singers, and then carefully looked at the notice board next to it, wanting to see if there was anything about taking the driver's license test. Sure enough, she saw an advertisement for a driving school in the corner, and she took a picture of it as well.
There are all kinds of things on it, including introductions to vegetable markets and places selling imported cosmetics, all of which are located on Student Street. It is said that most of the places on Student Street are rented by students from the school to do business.
It's really amazing.
There are also advertisements for Japanese language training, not just Japanese, but also French and Spanish. Judging from the addresses, they are all in the new district, probably because there are many foreign teachers living in the new district.
Xiaoqi also took some pictures. Although French and Spanish sound very sophisticated, it is better to learn English and Japanese first.
There is also some information related to their major, computer training, it seems that there is nothing that is not listed above, and all aspects are covered.
Xiaoqi took pictures of everything he was interested in and prepared to plan it carefully.
After returning to the dormitory, Gu Yunshu took another shower. She was very fond of cleanliness.
Chen Mier went to stroll around other dormitories, leaving Wei Cheng and Xiao Qi alone in the dormitory.
As usual, Xiaoqi started practicing calligraphy as soon as he came back. Practicing calligraphy is the easiest way to get into the state and concentrate.
Wei Cheng was a little distressed. She saw her roommate Xiaoqi was so hardworking and positive, but when she came back to flip through the books, she didn't know what to read. She was also worried about the living expenses. Her family was planning to apply for a student loan, but when she asked the registration teacher, she was told that she had to pay the money first and then apply for the loan, and it would be approved later. The application for a student loan was not complicated and was very easy.
She had to consider her living expenses because her older sisters and brothers were all in school and her tuition was high, so she couldn't get more living expenses. However, the same living expenses felt like they were not enough in this school.
Do I want to work part-time and wait on dishes?
Wei Cheng felt a little embarrassed, thinking it would be awkward if she met her classmates. She had just looked at the billboard, which had a lot of job recruitment information.
Some are personal, some are from the student union, and some are from clubs.
For example, cleaning the school's screening room also pays, fifty yuan per time. This is a student union job, but it is said that there are many applicants and it is not always available.
There were a lot of quantifiable tasks on the billboard, and the remuneration was clearly stated, but Wei Cheng was still very confused.
They all got into college and were chosen by the heavens, so why should she worry about these things... She envied her roommates, as if they didn't have to worry about money.
When she arrived at the dormitory, she unconsciously felt that Su Xiaoqi seemed to be the backbone of the dormitory, and she felt that Xiaoqi seemed to be the most considerate of her, probably because Xiaoqi said that her home was also in the village.
Seeing Xiao Qi put down his brush, stood up and stretched, she quickly asked, "Xiao Qi, what can I do if I want to work and study?"
When Xiaoqi heard Wei Cheng ask her this question, she was stunned for a moment. In fact, she had thought about working and studying before, but it was just a thought. Students are very concerned about their reputation. As for herself now, she felt that she could use more time to study. At this age, she should not be busy making money. The brain is most useful at this age, and studying is the most beneficial, but everyone's situation is different.
"I just saw the work-study programs on the billboards. They're all quite time-consuming and the pay is low. It's a bit strenuous for you to do them. Think about your special talents and we can start with them. I've decided to participate in the Top Ten Singers competition. I think it can be considered a work-study program, and the bonus is much higher than if I were to work."
