Seeing his enthusiasm, Wu Jing immediately put on a smile.
"Okay, I'll send the information to your email when I get back. By the way, what's your QQ number? I'll add you so we can keep in touch."
Tongtong wanted to say that she didn't use QQ often, so there was no need to keep it.
To everyone's surprise, Wu Jing continued, "I'll send your QQ number to the students who participated in the debate competition. They can contact you if they have any questions, right?"
Tongtong forced a smile: "Okay, but I only have time to go online tonight."
After Wu Jing and Yang Xiu returned home, they didn't even bother to check their children's homework; they went straight to their room and turned on the computer.
Seeing that she was busy, Yang Xiu tacitly asked about the children's homework.
Wu Jing first sent the information to Tongtong's email address, and then added him on QQ.
Tongtong hadn't come home yet, so she needed to verify her identity before she could add her, but she wasn't in a hurry.
At that moment, a QQ user named Ya Ya sent her a message.
[Professor Wu, have we found a supervisor yet?]
Ya Ya had met her once. She was a lovely foreign girl studying at Tsinghua University. She was interested in science and technology and enjoyed participating in various club activities. That's why she was a contestant in this debate competition, and quite a formidable one at that.
She reportedly studied Chinese for several years and now speaks it fluently.
Wu Jing quickly replied to her:
[Found him. Here's his QQ number. If you have any questions, you can talk to him first. In a couple of days, I'll arrange for all of you to meet with him.]
Ya Ya replied with a thank you, and then stopped talking to her, probably to add Tong Tong as a friend.
At this moment, Tongtong returned to the apartment, took a quick shower, and came out of the bathroom with a towel around her waist. She dried her hair with a towel before remembering to check Wu Jing's email.
He turned on his computer, and while waiting for it to boot up, he quickly dried his hair, changed into his pajamas, and just as he sat down at the computer, it had finished booting up.
He first logged into his email, opened the email sent by Wu Jing, re-edited the important information inside, and then connected the printer to print it out.
He works in this field, so naturally he has all these appliances.
It has not only printers, but also fax machines and copiers.
At that time, photocopiers were still huge machines, like washing machines, placed next to desks.
After typing up the information, he logged into QQ and started browsing it.
Just as my gaze fell on the name Li Ya on the list of Huaqing debaters, QQ coughed.
Wu Jing and a woman named Ya Ya both sent him invitations at the same time.
He immediately approved Wu Jing's application.
Finally, the mouse clicked "Agree" on Ya Ya's QQ account.
His profile picture quickly started flashing; it was a message from Ya Ya.
Ya Ya: [Hello mentor, I am Li Ya, a debater from Huaqing University. Please feel free to offer your guidance.]
She was obviously there to say hello.
Tongtong: [Hello, I'm Lin Tong. I wouldn't call it instruction, but I have some debate experience, so we can discuss things together.]
Ya Ya: [I'm so excited! The teacher replied to me. Your name sounds just like one of my childhood friends. Teacher, do you think China's economy will continue to grow at the same rapid pace in the future?]
Li Ya began to genuinely treat him as a teacher and started discussing debate topics with him.
Tongtong naturally wouldn't tell her her own opinion, but instead guided her to start thinking outside the box and look at the problem from different perspectives.
The two chatted on QQ for hours on end, and before they knew it, two hours had passed.
Ya Ya: [Teacher, I'm sorry to have kept you from resting. Good night.]
Tongtong said goodbye to her, but something felt off.
It's 10 o'clock now. For a young person, that's not late, is it? And why does she keep referring to him as "you" as if he's a very old man?
Perhaps Wu Jing didn't tell her his age and mistook him for an older teacher.
Thinking of all this, he couldn't help but smile.
This Li Ya is quite interesting.
Over the next few days, Wu Jing and he couldn't arrange a time to meet, so he couldn't meet with the debaters and could only communicate and give them guidance through QQ.
I communicated most with Li Ya.
She always has a lot of strange and unusual ideas, and sometimes they coincide with Tongtong's. The two of them do share some similar views.
After chatting for a while, Tongtong sometimes wondered what kind of girl she was.
Having spent so much time abroad, he didn't have a good impression of foreign girls.
Perhaps due to different perspectives, many boys and girls abroad date in high school and even experience their first sexual encounter.
They thought that was normal.
Tongtong has never been able to accept overly open behavior regarding sex, so she maintains a basic level of rationality when it comes to foreign girls.
However, after returning to China, he devoted himself to his work and had very little contact with girls in China.
He seems to be clueless when it comes to relationships.
Jiaojiao is different from him. She likes to make friends with boys and study their personalities. Although she never has any private contact with any of them, she has countless male friends and is often talked about behind her back by many girls.
Tongtong is a handsome, aloof guy who rarely makes friends with girls.
He'd rather play sports or video games with his friends than have coffee with a girl. He sees girls as a nuisance who wastes his time.
Unexpectedly, in the virtual world of the internet, on QQ, he found himself having a very pleasant conversation with a girl.
Aside from the debate topics, the two began to discuss some personal matters, such as what delicious food is available near Tsinghua University and what are the most worthwhile tourist attractions in Beijing.
Tongtong only visited these places when he was a child; as he grew up, he never went back to many of them.
Li Ya longed for Chinese civilization, but had not yet found a suitable person to take her to see it.
Teacher, if you have the chance in the future, can you accompany me to the Forbidden City and the Great Wall?
"Besides sightseeing, we can also eat roast duck and visit the temple fair," Li Ya extended an invitation.
Upon receiving this invitation unexpectedly, Tongtong hesitated.
Let's talk about it another time; the recording is in ten days.
The next day, he finally arranged a time with Wu Jing to meet with the debaters.
At the appointed time, something came up unexpectedly, causing him to be a little late. He arrived at the TV station still wearing his factory work clothes.
While Wu Jing was still busy in her office, all the debaters in the studio were gathered together, engaged in a heated discussion.
There are eight teams in this debate competition.
Each team will have a dedicated instructor, and they will all rehearse several times in the studio.
Tongtong greeted the Huaqing debaters, indicating that she was late.
To everyone's surprise, when Captain Li Ming saw that he was wearing a rather unpresentable work uniform, he said disdainfully:
"Excuse me, you've come to the wrong place. This is a studio, not a factory."
His words drew a burst of laughter from everyone.
Only Li Ya said angrily:
How could you do this!
As she spoke, she slowly turned around, preparing to apologize to Tongtong, but the moment she saw Tongtong, she froze.
