Chapter 235 It's a pity the director didn't fall for it!
The assistant director tried hard to keep up with the boss's steps, but the director's dancing was getting more and more off track. In the end, the assistant director had no choice but to give up, and the two started dancing their own separate ways.
[Haha, I can't take it anymore! Has the director gone crazy because of what happened yesterday? (Stunned)]
[It seems the director is completely absorbed in the dance; his legs are thumping so much, I wonder where they're jumping off to.]
[Director, is this some kind of ballet? A little hand outstretched, a little leg lifted.]
[No, no, no, the director and assistant director were supposed to be dancing a local dance, but I don't know what's going on now. The director seemed to be veering off-topic a bit while dancing. (Facepalm)]
[Hahahaha.]
……………………
After the song ended, the director proudly raised his chin and made a closing gesture.
*Clap clap clap clap clap clap!*
Xu Wang and the others applauded in unison.
The director picked up the microphone handed to him by a staff member: "Good morning, everyone. Did you all sleep well last night?"
"That was great! After eating and drinking my fill, I even had a wonderful dream. In the dream, the director said he would treat us to a big meal today." Jiang Xiubai said very seriously, as if she had really dreamt it.
The director's expression gradually stiffened as Jiang Xiubai spoke. He forced a smile and said, "It's a good thing you were dreaming. There's no evidence, so I'm not taking the blame for this."
"Hahahaha." Xia Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard the director's words.
Xu Wang also turned to the side, resting his head on Pei Yanchuan's shoulder and swaying gently. The director's words were so funny.
[The director isn't even going to act anymore. (Covering mouth and chuckling)]
[Director urgently clarifies online: I never had that dream, and I didn't say those words!]
[The director's wallet is trembling right now.]
[Haha, Jiang Xiubai is trying to control the director.]
[Unfortunately, the director chose his wallet. (What a pity.)]
……………………
Jiang Xiubai shook her head with a regretful expression after hearing the director's words.
Yunxi stood next to Jiang Xiubai and patted him on the shoulder: "You've done your best, but unfortunately the director isn't taking the bait."
Fearing that the people in front of him might say something that would frighten him again, the director quickly brought up the theme of the morning.
"Teachers, you can all see the delicious food on the table in front of you, right?" the director said with a smile.
"I see. Is the director planning to treat us to breakfast?" Xu Wang asked with a smile.
“Yeah, yeah, the director is so generous, he must be treating us to a meal, right? We don’t need to pay, right?” Xia Yu stopped smiling and immediately joined the group again.
"Of course I won't ask for money... but!"
Just as everyone was looking on expectantly, the director made a big turn.
"But each group of teachers has to win breakfast by playing a little game." The director clapped his hands with a smile.
The assistant director brought up four answer boards and four black markers, and behind him, several crew members carried up a large screen.
Xu Wang and the others looked at the screen curiously. Six cartoon characters appeared on the screen: Chinese Character Dictation Competition!
? ? ?
? ? ?
Everyone present looked at these six large characters and had three big question marks pop into their minds.
"Is this a Chinese dictation test?" Xu Wang raised an eyebrow.
"Help! Although my Chinese grades are pretty good, how long have I been out of class? I'm afraid I've forgotten everything." When Yunxi saw these six words, her mind went completely blank, and she couldn't remember any of them.
"Director, you're joking, right?" Jiang Xiubai looked in the director's direction in disbelief, trying to hear a denial from him.
But to his disappointment, the director just smiled and looked at him without saying a word.
[Frog Fun, things are getting interesting.]
[I never imagined the director would have a dance competition or a singing competition, let alone a Chinese language competition. (Shocked! ◎_◎;))]
[Would the director be able to read obscure characters in the exam?]
[I feel it's very likely! (Touches chin)]
[Wouldn't that mean the entire army would be wiped out?! (Facepalm)]
……………………
Xu Wang and his group sat behind four empty tables. The assistant director gave each group a white answer board and a black marker.
"The rules of this game are that each question represents a type of breakfast. The team that answers correctly will receive the corresponding breakfast, while the team that answers incorrectly will miss out on that breakfast. There are a total of 6 different breakfasts in this competition, so there are 6 questions. Please answer carefully." After the director finished speaking, he tapped the screen with the stick in his hand.
"Let's look at the first question. The breakfast corresponding to the first question is milk tea."
The first question appeared on the big screen: kuǐlěi
After seeing the question, Xia Yu confidently wrote down the answer. He used this word a lot in his novels, and he could write it with his eyes closed.
Jiang Xiubai and Yunxi both wore the same question mark expression. Who are they? Where are they?
Gu Yunlan scratched her head in confusion, and Qin Huai silently took a marker and wrote the answer on the answer board.
Xu Wang was completely bewildered. He clearly remembered the word, but why couldn't he write it down?
Just as Xu Wang was deep in thought, he suddenly heard Pei Yanchuan's voice: "Want some?"
"Mm." Xu Wang nodded subconsciously.
After realizing what was happening, he quickly turned to look at Pei Yanchuan beside him, seemingly a little confused as to why he had suddenly asked that question.
Pei Yanchuan didn't speak, but silently lowered his head and wrote two words on the answer board with a black marker in his right hand.
Xu Wang's eyes lit up when he saw those two characters—that was it!
The time allotted for the first question was up very quickly.
All four answer sheets were flipped over at the same time.
Puppet, puppet, ? ? , puppet.
Except for Yunxi and Jiang Xiubai's group, the other three groups answered correctly.
Yunxi and Jiang Xiubai wrote down two characters that were not in the dictionary. After seeing the answer on the screen, they suddenly realized, "Oh, that's how it's written!"
[Haha, did Yunxi and Jiang Xiubai invent two new characters? Why aren't they in the dictionary?]
[Let alone them, when I first heard the word "puppet," I didn't even realize it. (bitter smile)]
[Stop talking, can I say I've also created two new characters? This is too difficult (facepalm)]
After the director read all the answers, he waved his hand, and the staff immediately brought milk tea to the table in front of the three groups.
There's a heating device underneath the milk tea pot, and the milk tea is bubbling away, with steam rising and a rich aroma gradually spreading.
Yunxi and Jiang Xiubai looked enviously at the three tables beside them, but their table was now the only one that was empty.
Xu Wang looked at Pei Yanchuan happily.
Pei Yanchuan reached out and gently put his arm around Xu Wang's waist, resting his chin lightly on Xu Wang's shoulder: "Tell me what else you want to eat."
Pei Yanchuan's voice was full of confidence, as if he could completely satisfy Xu Wang's desire for six different breakfasts.
“Okay.” Xu Wang’s eyes were full of trust in Pei Yanchuan.
The breakfast corresponding to the second question is mutton shumai.
Yunxi and Jiang Xiubai looked at the steaming, plump mutton shumai in the steamer and couldn't help but swallow. They turned to look at each other at the same time, their eyes filled with determination to solve the problem.
The director smiled and tapped the big screen again.
The question for the second question is: chóu chú bù qián
The second question is significantly more difficult.
Xia Yu was also a little confused, and Hou Yunqi frowned.
Gu Yunlan and Qin Huai also hesitated to put pen to paper, seemingly lost in thought.
Yunxi and Jiang Xiubai felt like they'd been struck by lightning. Oh no, they weren't going to go hungry this morning, were they?
Xu Wang had completely given up struggling. He could spell all four characters, but he just couldn't remember how to write them.
Pei Yanchuan immediately picked up his pen. Xu Wang stared in shock when he saw the four characters he wrote. The first two characters were a bit complicated.
[Director, is this second question really that difficult?]
The guests were all stunned.
[President Pei seems so relaxed. He truly lives up to his reputation as a big shot! (Sigh)]
The time allotted for answering the questions is decreasing second by second.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Yunxi. He quickly picked up a marker and wrote down the four words that were in his mind.
Jiang Xiubai looked at the answer Yunxi had written down and hesitated before asking him, "Are you sure it's these four characters?"
"I'm not sure, but we'll give it a shot if we have no other options. Do you have any better answers?" Yunxi asked in return.
Jiang Xiubai quickly shook his head; he didn't have a single answer in his mind, let alone any other.
The time allotted for the second question has officially ended, and all four groups simultaneously turn over their answer boards once again.
Blank, blank, hesitant, hesitant.
"Yes!" Yunxi jumped up excitedly. That's amazing! He actually got it right.
Xu Wang couldn't help but look at Pei Yanchuan beside him. "You're too amazing. You answered correctly without even thinking."
Pei Yanchuan smiled gently at Xu Wang.
This time, only Xu Wang and Yun Xi's groups won mutton shumai.
"Teachers, don't be too discouraged. The next question is a sure-fire free point, and I'm sure you'll all be able to answer it easily." The director's voice was full of laughter.
