The students who were not selected were disappointed. Li Yang said dejectedly, "How could this happen? I tried so hard."
Zhang Yue held back her tears and silently packed her books.
Meng Si Ning walked over to Li Yang and comforted him, "Don't be discouraged. If you don't succeed this time, you'll have another chance next time. Your translation skills are very good. As long as you persist, you will definitely succeed."
Li Yang raised his head and said gratefully, "Comrade Meng, thank you. I won't give up."
Teacher Chen walked up to the podium and said with a smile, "For those students who stayed, Director Lin Su will explain the details to you. There will be more important tasks coming up, so everyone should continue to work hard and continuously improve their translation skills. For those students who didn't stay, don't be discouraged. I hope you will achieve even better results in your future studies and work."
Afterwards, the students said goodbye to each other, those who stayed congratulated each other, and those who did not stay also gave their sincere blessings.
In an atmosphere of reluctance, everyone embarked on a new journey.
The few people who stayed behind didn't dare to leave, and Director Lin came over soon.
He smiled and said, "Congratulations to the five of you on successfully joining the Translation Department. You will have one month to return to your original units to hand over your work and report here on the 10th of next month. The unit will have assigned dormitories."
Zhou Qiuli asked, "Director Lin, my home is far away. Can I go back now?"
Director Lin nodded. "If you can buy tickets, you can leave today. I wish you a safe journey in advance."
Meng Si Ning also wanted to go back as soon as possible, maybe there would be a chance to see his mother.
After Director Lin left, everyone went their separate ways.
Zhou Qiuli and the other person made an appointment to meet next month and then went back home.
Meng Si Ning saw that it was not yet noon, and her mother-in-law and father-in-law were not at home during the day, so it would be meaningless to go back.
I went to the nearby scrap yard for a look.
[A certain waiter, come out quickly.]
[Ding, my dear, are you here on Taobao again? ]
[Well, please help me scan this to see if there are any valuable items.]
[Ding... Scanning begins... Ding, my lady, there's a chair in that pile of broken furniture to the west. It could be worth 50 million after a few decades.]
【I'll go, how much? 】
Fifty million.
Meng Si Ning took two steps at a time and hurried towards the 50 million, fearing that he would miss the opportunity to become a multi-millionaire if he was a step late.
Under the guidance of the waiter, the chair was successfully moved out.
[My dear, here are some good books. Do you want any?]
[Yes, where? ]
[Right behind you, under the stack of newspapers.]
Meng Si Ning took out a chair from the scrap yard and spent one dollar.
I feel like all the scrap yards in Beijing are treasures.
So I rode my bike around the streets, asking people about the nearby scrap yard.
Within two or three hours, Meng Sining ran to three scrap yards.
The treasure hunting system's prompts sounded one after another: [My dear, there are a few gold bricks in the table legs here.]
[My dear, there is a set of mahogany furniture behind this.]
[My dear, here is a set of century-old nanmu beds.]
[My dear, here are two nice porcelain bowls.]
[My dear, this stone, yes, it is a top-grade jadeite, please keep it.]
Meng Sining went out at around nine in the morning and was so immersed in the fun of Taobao that he didn't even have time to eat lunch.
She traveled around the huge city of Beijing for five or six hours, staying at each scrap yard for only a dozen minutes on average. She had visited almost all the scrap yards in the city.
[My dear, there's a courtyard house nearby. It's the house with the title deed I found at the Xinliang Scrapyard last time. Would you like to go take a look?]
Meng Si Ning nodded without hesitation: [It's not easy to come here, let's go.]
This courtyard is located at the foot of the first ring of the Forbidden City wall, only a few hundred meters away from the wall. The courtyard is very spacious, and a sign of the Housing Management Office is hung at the door.
Since this was an office area, Meng Si Ning did not go in, but simply asked: [Is this occupied by someone?]
[This is a public office space. When the time is right, you can simply bring the title deed over and the government will return it. But now is not the time.]
Meng Si Ning nodded, and after remembering the place, he didn't stay long.
When she passed by a restaurant, she went in and bought four roast ducks, intending to pack them up for Jiang Tang. She wanted to buy more, but unfortunately the restaurant didn't sell them. Four was already the limit for her.
When Tao Jie arrived home, she saw her eldest daughter-in-law busy in the kitchen and hurried in to help: "Si Ning, why are you back so early today?"
Meng Si Ning smiled mysteriously, her eyes sparkling with joy. "Mom, I have a great news to share with everyone today. I called my younger sister and my second brother and his wife and asked them to come over for dinner tonight."
"What good news?" Tao Jie asked curiously, stopping what she was doing.
Meng Si Ning couldn't contain his excitement, and a happy smile spread across his face: "I was kept in the translation department."
"Oh, that's great news!" Tao Jie's face lit up with joy, and she quickly said, "Come, come, I'll make some fried green onion eggs for everyone."
Soon, Lu Tang and Han Shuo, Lu Chi and Sun Zhitian arrived home one after another, and Lu Zhanting also came back from get off work.
Upon learning that Meng Sining had successfully stayed in the Beijing Translation Department, everyone sent their blessings.
Lu Tang excitedly picked up the phone and called his elder brother, but unfortunately no one answered the call.
"Brother, why don't you answer the phone? There hasn't been a single call from you since you left." Lu Tang muttered.
Lu Zhanting put down the newspaper in his hand and speculated: "It is probably because he encountered an urgent task. The nature of the work is special and he couldn't contact us in time."
Afterwards, Lu Zhanting took out his treasured wine and poured it for his son and son-in-law, while the women made tea.
