Chapter 216: Trickster
Zhang Shulan asked Li Wenxi if she was willing, "I've already asked my third sister, she said she felt much safer with a boy around. Now it's just you and Gao Hui."
"Do you agree?" Li Wenxi asked.
"Yes, they really put a lot of effort into the guide they made. And isn't it good to have someone to help do the hard work? We don't have to worry about it, we just need to be responsible and concentrate on having fun, and it's really safer with a boy around. We were followed that time
, weren't we?" Zhang Shulan said. Li Wenxi was a little scared when she heard Zhang Shulan talk about the following incident, "If you two agree, then I have no objection. But let's go ask Gao Hui's opinion."
Zhang Shulan was very confident: "I think Gao Hui definitely has no objection."
But unexpectedly, Gao Hui said she would not participate in this trip.
"Why? If you don't want to go with these boys, then we girls can go traveling together." Li Wenxi thought Gao Hui didn't want to go because Han Yi and the others were going to join.
Zhang Shulan also said so.
Gao Hui shook her head and then showed a shy expression: "I plan to stay in Beijing with my partner during the summer vacation to make money as a tutor."
Li Wenxi and Zhang Shulan heard another big news: "Have you found a partner?"
It turned out that the person Gao Hui was talking to was the engineering student who they had told them about and often met in the library. His name was Wei Wei, and he was also a freshman. However, his family was in financial difficulty, so he had to work part-time to pay for his studies, so Gao Hui planned to stay in Beijing to accompany him.
Since that was the case, Gao Hui and Li Wenxi stopped persuading her, "We'll bring you some local specialties when the time comes."
Han Yi and his friends were set to travel together.
When Zheng Shunli told Han Yi, Han Yi's face curled up.
The next day, Li Wenxi went to the library to borrow all the materials related to her group's topic in preparation for summer vacation study.
After putting the materials in the dormitory, she went to the gate of National Tsing Hua University to pick up Zhang Lan.
As soon as she reached the gate, Zhang Lan got off the bus and walked towards the gate. Seeing Li Wenxi, she excitedly trotted forward and held her hand: "Xiaoxi." Yesterday at the hotel, her hands were stained with oil, and she couldn't express her excitement of meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
Li Wenxi took Zhang Lan to visit National Tsing Hua University.
"Xiaoxi, you are amazing. You are a student of Tsinghua University. I remember you told me that you would go to university. I thought you were so arrogant. I didn't expect that you not only got into university, but also got into such a good university. Do you know that in the village next to us, someone got into a technical secondary school, and the family had a feast. If there was a student from Tsinghua University, there would be a lot of celebration in the village."
"What about you? Why didn't you go to school? I remember you said you wanted to take the entrance exam for a technical secondary school for teachers and become an English teacher in the future." Li Wenxi said as he took Zhang Lan to the grocery store to buy two popsicles.
The two of them ate popsicles and talked all the way.
"Well, you know me, I like to be lazy. When I was with you, I knew how to work hard, but as soon as you left, I became lazy again. After a summer vacation, I had forgotten my goal of going to a technical secondary school. At that time, my father's leg was injured again and he couldn't work, so I dropped out of school and went home to help the family. This year, I followed a fellow villager to work in the hotel. I didn't know Wang Meili was here. If I had known she was here, I wouldn't have come. She likes to use the Yin knife from behind the back the most."
"So what are you going to do in the future? Will you keep working in this hotel?"
Zhang Lan shook her head. "I haven't thought about it. I'll just work here for now. When I make some money, I'll go home and get married. That's what happens to those of us who have not been educated. In the village, 18 or 19 is the age to get married. My mother is ready to arrange a marriage for me, but I don't want to. I always want to go out and see the world. So I came to Beijing.
After working in the hotel for a few months, I regretted not studying hard. It would have been better to learn English well back then. I heard that those who can speak English can work in international hotels and specialize in entertaining foreign guests. The salary is several times higher than ours." Zhang Lan wanted to drool as she spoke.
Li Wenxi said, "You still have time to learn now. You are only 19 years old. You still have time to learn anything you want."
"Really? Can you learn well now?" Zhang Lan was a little unconfident.
"How can I not learn well? There is a security guard in our school who teaches himself English every day. In order to practice speaking, he often talks to students passing by in English. He not only teaches himself English but also teaches himself law. Later, he passed the adult college entrance examination and was admitted to the law department of our school. All the students in our school know his deeds."
Zhang Lan was stunned while biting the popsicle: "Why do I want to cry when I hear his story? It's so touching, he is so inspiring."
"You can do it too. I won't tell you to take the college entrance examination. If you just learn English well, you can go to work in a big hotel. Not only will you get a higher salary, but you will also have more opportunities." Li Wenxi encouraged.
"Xiaoxi, do you think my brain is suitable for learning English? Do I have a talent for learning English?" Zhang Lan was very tempted but still unconfident. "
Of course, I'm your deskmate. I've heard you speak English. Your sense of language is better than mine, and your talent for learning languages is also better than mine. And you have a foundation in English. Your English was always in the top five in the class. Otherwise, how could you say you wanted to be an English teacher in the future?"
Li Wenxi knew Zhang Lan very well. This person just needed encouragement. In the past, as long as she was praised for being smart, Zhang Lan would study especially hard for a while.
As expected, Zhang Lan's eyes sparkled after being fooled by Li Wenxi. "Then I'll go buy a book when I go back tonight."
"Don't waste money on it. I have a basic English book. You can study it first. I also have a Walkman. I'll lend it to you first. When you go to a big hotel and make a lot of money, you can buy it yourself. Then you can return it to me." Li Wenxi said.
"No, no, just lend me an English book. The Walkman is too expensive." Zhang Lan shook his head.
"I've had this Walkman for four years, and I just want to buy a new one. If it wasn't given to me by my dad, I'd like to keep it as a souvenir, so it's fine for me to give it to you."
"Xiaoxi, I, I don't know how to thank you."
"You used to bring peanuts, frozen rice candy, and steamed bread from home for me to eat, and I didn't know how to thank you at that time. If it weren't for you, I don't think I could have continued studying. So I'll lend you the Walkman, so you don't have to feel stressed." Li Wenxi smiled. "
Xiaoxi, you're so nice."
After understanding Zhang Lan's English foundation, Li Wenxi made a study plan for her. She asked her to study according to this plan during the two months of summer vacation, and then come to her after school starts, and she will help her adjust her study plan.
