Qiao Wanyue was the third to appear. The moment her voice rang out, Wen Gaohan suddenly looked up, and the spotlight fell on her head, making the girl's skin glow.
She seemed to be the center of the world. A pleasant voice rang in my ears, a series of English speeches, as if I were listening to a broadcast in pure English, every sentence perfectly standard.
Wen Gaohan could even guess the general meaning of what she was saying.
His gaze followed Qiao Wanyue until she bowed and left the stage.
Backend
"Wanyue, you did a fantastic job! How come your English is so fluent?"
Qiao Wanyue said, "I practiced with the recording when I had free time before."
"Then I'll practice along with the recording. Yours is so perfect! You'll definitely qualify to represent our school in the competition."
Qiao Wanyue smiled without saying a word.
There were so many people backstage, some of whom were eliminated contestants, and others who were there to perform.
Others can say these words, but she cannot.
Ye Yuan's spoken English isn't that good. Among all these top students, she was able to make it into the top ten, which, in her words, was pure luck. There was no way she could be in the top three, but she still hoped that her roommate could make it.
Finally, the rankings were announced.
The host announced:
First Place: Gao Wei, Department of Foreign Languages
Second place: Yuan Han, Department of Foreign Languages
Third place: Qiao Wanyue, Department of Economics
When the first place winner was announced, Qiao Wanyue stared in astonishment at the girl on stage.
Nothing else matters, except that the girl will become a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the future.
She remembered that familiar face.
She comes from a very good family.
But I worked exceptionally hard.
Noticing someone watching her, Gao Wei followed the gaze and met a pair of wet eyes.
It's her.
That girl had a very standard accent and a very nice voice.
She smiled gently.
Qiao Wanyue smiled back at her.
The two nodded to each other across the distance, seemingly like long-lost friends.
Ye Yuan cheered on her roommates without a care in the world. It was such a great honor that two out of the four people in their dorm were selected!
"Please welcome the contestant to the stage."
The host's loud voice rang out.
"I disagree with this verdict."
Strange noises arose from below.
The host looked embarrassed. He glanced at the judges, then at the contestant, and finally, steeling himself, asked, "Does this student have any objections?"
Wu Zhiwei approached and said, “The third student, Qiao Wanyue, has a viewpoint that is tantamount to going against the country’s policies. Her viewpoint is dangerous, does not conform to current policies, and therefore does not conform to the theme of this event.”
The host looked at the judges.
The judges give scores on the spot.
Qiao Wanyue is a point of contention for them, not because her level is poor, but because it is too good. Her English is impeccable, you could say she is number one, but her opinions are too sharp. It is clear that she has toned it down a lot.
But that one sentence, in its current form, is inappropriate to appear in any competition. If someone with ulterior motives targets her, she'll either be fine if they don't cause trouble, or she'll definitely be in trouble if they do.
That's why the judges decided to give her third place.
But unexpectedly, he was still caught.
Qiao Wanyue looked over at the sound and saw the man who had been standing next to Yang Huaiyuan. She then asked Ye Yuan, "Who is fourth place?"
"Pan Yumeng".
Pan Yumeng was the one who was chasing after Yang Huaiyuan.
"I want to ask, what exactly constitutes compliance with policy?" Wen Gaohan's deep voice rang out.
Wu Zhiwei: "She used completely reactionary language. Would she dare to bring it out into the open?"
Wen Gaohan: "What I'm asking you is, what is policy?"
