Chapter 509: One Step Behind
In the evening, it was Qiu Chenxi's turn to go on stage to give everyone an English lesson.
Even if they were not there, Qiao Nan and Lin Yuankang still had to be there to see how Qiu Chenxi was doing.
Compared to Qiao Nan's casualness, Qiu Chenxi, as a teacher of the class, seemed much more serious. She wore a white long skirt that reached her ankles and her long hair was fixed with a rhinestone headband. She looked slightly casual, yet slightly serious.
Yesterday, when everyone saw Qiao Nan, they felt like their own sister had come to the army. But when they looked at Qiu Chenxi, they had to admit that there were still differences between people. At least from the looks of it, Qiu Chenxi looked more like a teacher than Teacher Qiao.
As if he felt everyone's recognition, Qiu Chenxi raised his chin proudly and looked at Qiao Nan provocatively: "I believe everyone already knows me. We are all the same age, so you can call me Comrade Qiu instead of Teacher. It will be more comfortable for everyone to be equal."
Qiu Chenxi's words made many people nod their heads, and they obviously liked Qiu Chenxi's arrangement very much.
In fact, when calling Qiao Nan "Teacher Qiao", even if we add a "" in front of it, everyone still feels a little bit awkward.
For people like Qiu Chenxi, we are all equal, and it would be best to just call him comrade.
Qian Yanyan gave Qiu Chenxi a thumbs up, saying that Qiu Chenxi's expression was much better than Qiao Nan's yesterday. The people sitting next to her were all praising Qiu Chenxi.
With this in mind, Qiu Chenxi felt more at ease, and his expression became more relaxed: "Everyone's time is precious. In order not to waste everyone's time, let's get straight to the point. Yesterday, Comrade Qiao taught everyone how to greet each other. Does anyone remember it? Can you ask your companions to come up and perform for everyone?"
“…”
There was total silence.
Qiao Nan put her hand to her lips to hide her smile and took notes very seriously.
Qiu Chenxi's face changed. It was all Qiao Nan's fault. The specific steps of this operation were not specified. Otherwise, she would not have been so embarrassed.
Qiu Chenxi, who was blaming Qiao Nan in his heart, did not think about the fact that Qiao Nan had spent a lot of time writing that lesson preparation book. If the first step was written in such detail, with Qiao Nan's mind, he could only spend a few class hours at most for the whole day. How could he possibly finish writing all the contents?
"How about this, if you don't want to come up to perform, just stand down there and perform. Don't be shy, weren't your expressions great yesterday? Everyone raise your hands and give it a try?" Qiu Chenxi took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his pace, and changed the way he performed.
If you are embarrassed to stand on the podium and perform, then just stay in your own position and perform.
Although this approach made everyone feel more comfortable, there was still no one willing to raise their hands to perform.
Qiu Chenxi blushed. When Qiao Nan was in class yesterday, everyone was quite cooperative. Why was it like this when it was her turn today?
Could it be that everyone was deliberately giving in to Qiao Nan because of her age? Knowing that she was older than Qiao Nan, they were so rude to her?
Qiu Chenxi gritted his teeth and looked at Qian Yanyan, wanting Qian Yanyan to take the lead for him.
Qian Yanyan opened her mouth. She didn't have the confidence to speak English in front of so many people.
After meeting Qiu Chenxi's gaze, Qian Yanyan pulled the person next to her and said, "How about we perform a show for everyone?"
"If you want to perform, you can do it yourself. I don't want it." The person who was pulled by Qian Yanyan pulled his sleeve unwillingly. Qian Yanyan had a good relationship with Qiu Chenxi, so she wanted to help Qiu Chenxi. Her relationship with Qiu Chenxi was not good. She had never taken Qiu Chenxi's perfume or her skirt. Why should she help?
Qian Yanyan showed off all the good things she got from Qiu Chenxi in front of her comrades.
We all love pretty girls, but not all of them are willing to pick up what others have left like Qian Yanyan. However, Qian Yanyan has it, while we have nothing at all. Who wouldn't feel some dissatisfaction with such differential treatment?
"That performance is a dialogue, which requires two people. I can't perform alone. Yesterday in the dormitory, I clearly saw you reciting those sentences very well, why didn't you perform with me?" Qian Yanyan refused to stop. If she performed well today, she might be able to get some benefits from Qiu Chenxi.
"Really? You think I'm good? I don't think so. You should find someone else. Just don't come to me." The person next to him turned his body and left his back to Qian Yanyan, refusing to cooperate.
Qian Yanyan can't support herself alone, she is just a dead shrimp.
This is so embarrassing.
Qiu Chenxi's class has already begun, but none of the large number of "students" in the class are willing to cooperate. Just as Qiu Chenxi said just now, everyone treats her as a comrade of the same generation. Comrades' words can be listened to or not, unlike teachers. Teachers' words, especially those in class, must be listened to.
Because of the casual chat, no one felt that it was excessive or inappropriate not to raise their hands to show off.
Although Miao Liang's interest in attending class was not as high as yesterday, she still came today.
Seeing that Qiu Chenxi clearly seemed to be better than Qiao Nan when he first stood on the stage, but how come he became like this when he actually started teaching, Miao Liang was very puzzled: "Old Zhai, what's going on? Why is everyone like this?"
She liked Nan Nan and disliked Qiu Chenxi, but she could swear to herself that she absolutely did not have the ability to incite so many people to help Nan Nan look down on Qiu Chenxi.
Qiu Chenxi shouldn't be such a failure in life, right?
Zhai Yaohui said disappointedly: "Qiu Chenxi wanted to win over Qiao Nan and create a better atmosphere than Qiao Nan did yesterday, so she used the identity of comrade to bring her closer to the soldiers. Unfortunately, she ended up making things worse."
This is called being too clever for one's own good.
"In comparison, Qiao Nan is much clearer. Different identities have different statuses and different treatments. Teachers are teachers, and students are just students. Students must obey teachers, just like soldiers must obey their superiors. Have you ever seen comrades obeying each other?"
When Qiao Nan spoke in the classroom, the soldiers sitting below had no choice but to obey.
It’s not Qiu Chenxi’s fault, so you can’t really blame these people for reacting like this.
Originally, Chinese people tend to be more shy and timid when speaking English.
