Chapter 269 Special Training
The next afternoon, the shortlist was posted early, and the ranking order was based on the sum of 60% of the written test score and 40% of the interview score.
The full score of this written test was 100 points. Everyone’s scores were not very high, so Lin Siqiao barely passed.
There is nothing to question about this. The test paper is posted next to it, so you can see at a glance how everyone performed.
But when it comes to interviews, there is still a big gap.
Some people only got 10 points, while others got the full 60 points.
For example, Lin Siqiao got full marks in the interview.
For a moment, everyone's eyes on Lin Siqiao became complicated.
No one thinks there is any water in it.
In this era, in order to be admitted to the Foreign Affairs College, in addition to having good academic performance, it is essential that one has a good family background.
In other words, they are all well-known families in Beijing.
Like Hua Chunqiu, who tied with Lin Siqiao for first place in the written test, she herself comes from a diplomatic family, and her grandparents hold high positions.
With so many eyes watching, who would dare to play tricks?
Then there is only one possibility, this person named Lin Siqiao is standing here based on her real ability.
What everyone is curious about is that the always all-rounder Sister Hua only got 54 points, so where did she get the other 6 points?
To be honest, Lin Siqiao was a little surprised when he saw his interview results just now.
But she didn't have time to care about anything else now, because Lin Siqiao found that there seemed to be something wrong with the list.
Didn’t you say before that you would only recruit 12 accompanying translators? How come there are more than 20 names on this list?
Soon, others also discovered this problem.
Just when everyone was talking about it, Deputy Minister Zhang, who was in charge of the assessment, stopped everyone.
"Everyone, don't be anxious. Listen to me."
"There are indeed more than 20 people on the shortlist this time, but only 12 will be able to travel with the delegation in the end."
"As for which 12 people they are, everyone still needs to go through a final round of comprehensive strength assessment."
"Ah—anything else?"
"I've already taken the written test and the interview, why do we need to take another assessment?"
After hearing this, the students who had been secretly happy just now were all dumbfounded.
This is just like the Soviet Union's nesting dolls, it never ends.
Lin Siqiao also sighed silently. Fortunately, she didn’t tell everyone the good news yesterday, otherwise it would be embarrassing if she couldn’t go in the end.
Deputy Minister Zhang looked at the crowd howling in agony and smiled unhappily.
"Weren't you all so confident yesterday? How come you can't handle this little setback?"
"Don't forget, I have all the bragging you did yesterday recorded clearly here."
Deputy Minister Zhang raised the notebook in his hand, and the students were speechless.
Everyone was trying hard to recall what they said during the interview yesterday.
When Lin Siqiao heard this, she also had a bad feeling. She remembered that she had flattered herself a lot yesterday.
She even said shamelessly that as long as she was willing, she could master anything in the shortest time.
Although, but...
It shouldn't be necessary to ask everyone to fulfill their promises, right?
Facts have proved that the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen. Just as everyone was pondering, Vice Minister Zhang made it clear.
"Okay, you don't have to think too much."
"These are called assessments, but in fact they are also a disguised way of letting you improve yourselves."
"You have to remember one thing: it doesn't matter what you want to do at home."
"But when you get out, you can only rely on yourself."
"If you don't fight now when you are young, when do you think you will fight?"
Yes, if not now, when?
What's more, I can take advantage of this assessment opportunity to improve myself, which is something others can't even ask for.
Those shortlisted are basically young people around 20 years old, and they all come here with a common ideal.
That is - to enhance our national prestige! Glory to China
So, the little bit of uneasiness in my heart came and went quickly.
While everyone was in high spirits, Vice Minister Zhang made an announcement.
All shortlisted candidates must gather here on time at 8:00 tomorrow morning.
Late arrival will be deemed as giving up.
After that they will undergo three days of special training, but this is just the beginning.
The gay men were grinning, but Lin Siqiao couldn't laugh.
Just by hearing the word "special training", she knew that the next three days would not be easy.
Here, Lin Siqiao started packing his luggage as soon as he got home.
You have to bring several sets of clothes, all of which are lightweight. Lin Siqiao is not sure about the content of the special training, but it is always good to be prepared.
She is not afraid of anything else, but she is afraid of being taken to the wild for training or weighted cross-country running early in the morning.
After being lazy for a long time, Lin Siqiao felt that there was nothing more comfortable than sleeping until he woke up naturally.
She was also thankful that her period was over, otherwise she would have collapsed.
After packing her clothes, Lin Siqiao took out two pairs of sneakers and packed them in. These were given to her by Lu's mother, and she had hardly worn them.
You should also bring medicinal wine and plasters for bruises and injuries, and choose a larger luggage bag.
When the time comes, if you need anything, you can just smuggle some out from the space, and that will be enough.
After finishing all this, Lin Siqiao went to the post office.
The materials that had been translated years ago were sent out the day after she returned to Beijing.
I received the remittance slip yesterday. This time I translated more, a total of 935.42 yuan.
When Lin Siqiao withdrew money, the post office staff took a special look at her encrypted mailbox.
"Comrade, this is your package. Please take it and sign here, please."
"Okay, thank you."
Lin Siqiao took a look and found that the seal this time was the same as last time, so it should still be related to oil.
Calculating the time, Lu Jianchuan is almost about to return.
In order to avoid being turned away despite his enthusiastic approach, Lin Siqiao made a phone call directly.
In the past, long-distance calls were transferred layer by layer, and the long-distance call charges were also charged according to the distance.
For ordinary people, not only are the phone bills expensive, but the waiting time is also long.
This time it was okay, the call was connected within two minutes.
Lin Siqiao's guess was correct. Lu Jianchuan had indeed booked a train ticket for tomorrow morning.
There were many people waiting in line to make phone calls, so Lin Siqiao didn't say much and just mentioned it briefly.
"You're going to be away for three days? Special training?"
Lu Jianchuan, who had been smiling, frowned slightly after hearing this.
Lin Siqiao hummed, unable to explain clearly over the phone.
"That's it for now, we'll talk about it when you come back."
"Please say hello to everyone for me."
"Okay, I get it, take care of yourself."
Lu Jianchuan waited until Lin Siqiao hung up the phone before he hung up.
After a pause, Lu Jianchuan dialed another number.
