Chapter 277

It’s the third year of college, which means more courses, and the new batch of freshmen have also entered the school.

Zhao Wenna sighed, "I didn’t expect that we are already third years in the blink of an eye, and we will also face graduation in two years."

"To be precise, we will face internship in another year and a half. What are your plans then?" Ding Xiang looked at them and said, "Continue to study for a master

's degree or go straight to work?" Zhao Wenna thought for a while and said, "To be honest, I have already self-studied all the courses for the third and fourth years of college in my sophomore year. I plan to apply to the department to see if I can go directly to graduate school."

Everyone was surprised. Zhao Wenna had never told them this.

Zhao Wenna was a little embarrassed and said, "I don't know if I can succeed, so I didn't dare to say it. I want to use four years to finish my graduate studies, so that I won't be delayed in my work in two years. I hope you can keep it a secret for me for now."

Qin Xiang and the others were full of admiration.

No one who can get into Tsinghua University is not smart, but there is really no one with the courage of Zhao Wenna.

Zhao Wenna has a high talent for design and works hard on her studies. Everyone can see it clearly, but they didn't expect her idea to be so bold.

Guan Yuping said after a while, "I was a little unconvinced before. Why can't I compare with Zhao Wenna when they are all the best in various places? Now I seem to understand."

"Who said it's not true? Some people are born to do this job, but they still work hard."

Zhao Wenna was embarrassed by this. "I'm just trying, it may not work." The

school has just started, and there are all kinds of busy things.

On the third day, Li Minghui announced the scholarships for the previous semester.

Qin Xiang won the first prize again, Zhao Wenna won the special prize, and only Ming Chuanxiu won the third prize.

Several people were in a low mood, so Zhao Wenna said, "Why don't I treat everyone to a meal?"

Finally, everyone discussed and decided to go to Zhao Wenna's house for a meal and cook for themselves.

Qin Xiang said hurriedly, "I don't want to cook. It's too hot. Let's go to my place. I have air conditioning."

"If we don't go to your place, we want to go to Wenna's place. It's boring to go to your place."

The others said they would go to Zhao Wenna's house.

So on the weekend, the six of them bought food and went directly to Zhao Wenna's house.

Although the house of more than 30 square meters is small, it has everything. Zhao Wenna only bought some simple furniture after the decoration. But the six of them still seemed crowded.

Even so, the house made the others envious.

Qin Xiang's house is bigger, but Qin Xiang is smart and makes money in business. It is normal for him not to have a big house to live in.

But when she started freshman year, Zhao Wenna was as poor as them. They didn't expect that there would be such a big gap between them now. Everyone still felt quite disappointed.

Zhao Wenna's kitchen is very small, just right for one person, but a little crowded for two people. Guan Yuping and the others were chatting outside, while Zhao Wenna and Qin Xiang were preparing ingredients in the kitchen.

Qin Xiang saw that Zhao Wenna didn't seem to be in a good mood, so she asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

"No." Zhao Wenna sighed, "I feel like Guan Yuping seems to have an opinion about me hiding the fact that I learned in advance."

Qin Xiang couldn't help but frowned. She thought Zhao Wenna didn't notice it, but she didn't expect that Zhao Wenna had already felt it.

Guan Yuping has always been a bit aloof, and although she sometimes says things that are not very pleasant, she is generally okay.

But this time, she overreacted to Zhao Wenna's suggestion that she would apply for graduation in advance and apply directly for graduate school.

Since that day, Guan Yuping seemed to have a gloomy face all day long, and she would not say anything when asked.

Zhao Wenna looked at Qin Xiang, "Qin Xiang, did I do something wrong?"

"No." Qin Xiang comforted, "This is originally your own business. This kind of thing has happened before, but you kept it in mind and worked hard for it. What can others say? If they say too much, it will just be jealousy. You don't want others to do what you can't do. She is from the capital and has more sources of information than us. How could she not know about this? She didn't do that, obviously she didn't have that awareness and didn't want to do it. You can't ask you not to do it just because she didn't do it. Just go your own way with peace of mind."

Zhao Wenna nodded.

Just as she was about to speak, Dingxiang came in from the door, "Wenna, give me a fruit knife, we're cutting watermelon."

Zhao Wenna hurriedly took the fruit knife and handed it to her, "Be careful."

"Okay." Dingxiang took it and whispered, "I see Yuping doesn't seem very happy."

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "I guess she's sad because she didn't get the scholarship. Let her eat more meat later."

Dingxiang nodded and went out without doubt.

Zhao Wenna looked helpless, Qin Xiang patted her on the shoulder and said, "Be yourself. If she has a conflict with you because of this, there's nothing you can do."

She couldn't help but think of the time when Guan Yuping seriously asked her about her and He Chenghua. She was also very unhappy at that time, but Guan Yuping didn't mention it again later, so she didn't think about it anymore.

Zhao Wenna, the host, prepared six dishes for lunch, three cold dishes and three hot dishes. She was sweating all over. Zhao Wenna took her clothes and said, "You guys sit down and eat first. I'll go take a shower. I'm still sticky and smell like food."

Meilin waved her hand, "Go quickly. We'll wait for you. Don't rush."

​​After Zhao Wenna took a shower, Guan Yuping looked at Qin Xiang and said, "We were different from Qin Xiang before, and we are different from Zhao Wenna now."

After she finished speaking, Qin Xiang couldn't help but frown.

The others also looked at each other.

Qin Xiang looked at Guan Yuping, "Why are we different? Aren't we both two eyes, one nose and one mouth?"

Guan Yuping avoided her gaze a little, "That's not what I meant..."

"Then what do you mean?" Qin Xiang took advantage of Zhao Wenna's silence and continued, "Zhao Wenna didn't tell us about this in advance, but did she do anything wrong? This kind of thing has happened before. You are from the capital, how can you not know? Even if she told us, would you fight as hard as she did, and then fight for this possibility?"

Guan Yuping pursed her lips and said nothing.

Ding Xiang said faintly, "You don't know, but I guess it's impossible. I have a hard time learning the current courses. I am at most envious."

Meilin also nodded, "Yes, she is not only talented but also hardworking. We should encourage her."

"So I'm the only one who is stingy." Guan Yuping glanced at the two of them and said sarcastically, "Am I the only one who is stingy?"

"That's right." Meilin couldn't hold back her words and stuck out her tongue.

Guan Yuping stood up and was about to leave, Ming Chuanxiu hurriedly pulled her down, "What are you doing? We finally get together to have a meal, do you have to make a noise and make everyone restless? If you have this idea, just finish two years of content in your junior year. The senior year courses are only half a year. You can apply to take the postgraduate entrance examination in winter."

Guan Yuping was about to speak when Zhao Wenna came out. She smiled and said, "You guys should go take a shower later. It's comfortable to take a shower in hot weather."

Meilin smiled and said, "Then I won't save water for you."

"You're welcome. Use it." Zhao Wenna sat down with a smile, then stood up and brought a bag of soda over, "Although there's no ice, it's pretty good. Let's have one."

Although Guan Yuping was a little unhappy, she didn't say anything in the end. Others didn't want to indulge her bad habits, so they ate and drank.

After dinner, everyone decided to take the last bus back in the evening because the weather was too hot.

But Guan Yuping stood up and said, "You guys have fun, I'm going home."

Then she left.

Zhao Wenna sent her downstairs, thought for a while and said, "Yuping, I'm sorry, I didn't tell you about this in advance."

"That's your business." Guan Yuping said coldly and left.

Zhao Wenna stood there and sighed, not sure whether what she did was right or wrong.

But soon she cheered up again. She couldn't regret the decision she made. People are different. She just wanted to fight for a way out with her own efforts.

Thinking of Qin Xiang, Zhao Wenna's heart was warm. How could she not be influenced by Qin Xiang.

Qin Xiang was so busy, and she didn't fall behind in her studies. Now she is the boss of a factory. She couldn't be as good as Qin Xiang, so she would use her talent in design to the fullest. To use it to the fullest, she must learn more knowledge.

Back in the house, Meilin asked, "Is she gone?"

Zhao Wenna nodded, "Gone."

After she left, Meilin didn't hide it, "I think she is just jealous. What is there to be jealous of? Even if Wenna told us last year, we might not have participated. People are different, why do we have to compare?"

Meilin also agreed and smiled, "You should eat as much as you can, and it's good now. Qin Xiang, I decided to work after graduation."

"Me too." Ming Chuanxiu said, "Practice makes perfect. Zhao Wenna can learn more different things from her postgraduate studies, but I am more suitable to improve myself through practice."

She hesitated, "Qin Xiang, what do you think of me?"

Qin Xiang was stunned and nodded, "Very good, are there any students from our Tsinghua University who are not excellent?"

Ming Chuanxiu smiled, "I decided to apply for a government-sponsored study abroad this year. If successful, I will work in your factory after I come back and graduate."

Qin Xiang nodded, "Of course, I welcome it with both hands."

Every year, the school has the opportunity to send students abroad for government-sponsored study, the time varies, some are one year and some are two years.

Last year, the students who went out were all juniors and seniors, so they were not included, but this year, Li Minghui had already mentioned this matter at the beginning of the school.

Qin Xiang definitely cannot go out, because it is hard to say whether her factory will still be there when she comes back in two years. But this also reminds her that when she has time, she can go abroad to study and see the international fashion of the time.

But it is a good opportunity for others. Not only Guangming Chuanxiu wants to apply, Dingxiang and Meilin are also tempted.

The spoken English of several people is not bad because they worked as tour guides for foreigners before, and English is a compulsory course for them. However, the farthest place they have been to is the capital. When they first came, they were also in a panic. They are really nervous about going abroad.

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "You all passed the oral test, what are you afraid of? Go ahead boldly. I hope you can all be selected and become my employees when you come back. Even if you fail, don't be afraid. We can have other plans. All roads lead to Rome. In a word, students from Tsinghua University are the best."

Her words made the people passionate and excited.

After they went back, they began to learn from the experience of seniors who had participated in the screening before, and then began to prepare.

Mingchuan Xiu also asked Guan Yuping for her opinion, and Guan Yuping was hesitant.

Later, Mingchuan Xiu asked and found out that the reason for her hesitation was Jie Zong. She couldn't let go of Jie Zong, so she couldn't decide whether to go or not.

There are a total of six places in the school this time. Once selected, they will go abroad for two years. When they come back after two years, Jie Zong may already have a partner.

After hearing the news, everyone was speechless.

Qin Xiang was more disappointed.

Seriously speaking, there were a total of six people in their dormitory. Qin Xiang and Guan Yuping were the closest before, and they had the most to talk about.

She thought Guan Yuping was a very thoughtful person.

And this is the result?

She became a person who wanted to give up the opportunity to study abroad because of a man?

Isn't this the legendary love brain?

Although very disappointed, Qin Xiang and the people in the dormitory still persuaded Guan Yuping together.

Guan Yuping sighed, "Qin Xiang, do you think it's still possible for me to get along?"

Qin Xiang didn't answer but asked, "Will you regret not participating in the selection?"

Guan Yuping remained silent. Regret it? Of course she would regret it. In recent years, there have always been public scholarships to study abroad. The opportunity is rare, and the selection conditions are strict. You can't just apply and get it.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Qin Xiang said directly, "Guan Yuping, I'm disappointed."

Guan Yuping looked at her, "Do you think I'm too sentimental?"

"Really?" Qin Xiang asked her, "You've been pursuing him for almost two years without any result, and now the opportunity to study abroad is right in front of you, but you're still considering men and want to give up the opportunity. Don't you think it's stupid? For a goal that may never be achieved, you give up the opportunity that is right in front of you. You really disappoint me." After

saying that, she turned around and walked away. After walking a few steps, she turned back again, "You are jealous of Guan Yuping's courage to apply for graduate school, but I think you can't compare to her in this regard. Even if she told you about her plan in your freshman year, you couldn't catch up with her because she has clearer goals and more drive than you. You have lived a good life for too long and only remember to fall in love."

This time, Qin Xiang ignored Guan Yuping.

Others were busy submitting various application materials and actively preparing.

In order to help them practice speaking and understand the situation abroad, Qin Xiang also consulted Assistant Liu. Assistant Liu had been abroad with Meng Huaiqing many times and was very familiar with the situation outside. Assistant

Liu also asked, "Do you need my help to collect information about the school?"

Meilin was surprised and asked, "Can I help?"

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "If it's not too much trouble, it would be best if you can help collect it."

"It's not a problem." Assistant Liu said, "We have clients to maintain, so there are employees assisting with the work. I'll call them today to tell them about the situation and ask them to help collect it as soon as possible. You are studying design, so I'll ask them to collect design-related information."

Meilin nodded hurriedly, "Okay, thank you."

After coming out of Meng Huaiqing's office, Meilin hugged Qin Xiang exaggeratedly, "Qin Xiang, thank you so much, our dormitory is getting better and better with you."

Ming Chuanxiu smiled and said, "The most accurate choice I made was probably to agree to change the dormitory at Fu Yunmei's request."

Speaking of Fu Yunmei, they were also curious, "Fu Yunmei seemed to have been sentenced at the time, what happened to her in the end?" "

I don't know."

They didn't know what happened to Fu Yunmei since she left school.

It's really sad to say that a good college student did something bad and deserved the punishment.

Everyone skipped the topic and didn't say anything more, turning to talk about Guan Yuping again.

Ding Xiang hesitated, "Should we persuade her again? Although she may not be selected if she signs up, if she tries, won't she regret it in the future?" "

Why persuade her? She knows about this." Meilin disagreed, "She didn't move when we came. I saw that she didn't want to sign up."

Qin Xiang sighed, "Everyone has his own ideas. We have said what we should say before. If we say more, it will be annoying."

In fact, none of them understood. They are in school now, and falling in love should not affect their studies.

Ding Xiang and Huang Lin have been in love for quite some time. This time, they both plan to apply for government-sponsored study abroad, and if they apply for schools, they will try to apply to the same city. If it doesn't work out, no one will hinder the future development of the other.

Qin Xiang comforted them, "Don't think too much. Isn't the TOEFL test coming soon? Don't you have to prepare for it? I have called Meng Huaiqing, and he wants to find someone to get a batch of information for you. You still have to take the test there."

It is not easy to go to a government-sponsored study abroad. First, you have to go through the internal selection of the school. Only if you pass the TOEFL test, you will have the opportunity to take the TOEFL test. This is a stepping stone. After that, you have to go to the foreign consulate to apply for a visa. Both are indispensable.

Since the early 1980s, government-sponsored study abroad has been very popular, and many people have applied to study abroad.

This year, National Tsing Hua University decided to let the juniors go abroad, but it was not based on a single major, but rather a school-wide selection. Twenty people were selected after screening to take the TOEFL test. If the number of people who passed the test exceeded six, then the best scores and the best assessments would be selected. If the number was less than six, then the number of people who passed would be selected.

The school wanted to send more students, but the funds were insufficient, and sending students abroad was risky. Some students never returned after going abroad, which was contrary to the original intention of their country.

Qin Xiang was not going to take this risk, but others were busy.

Some people went to the square on weekends to serve as tour guides for foreigners to practice speaking, and some people directly asked friends to hire teachers. Anyway, at this point, everyone relied on their own abilities, and each showed their magical powers.

Qin Xiang was mainly busy with her coursework. She had already told Professor Sun and the others that she would take a leave in October to go to Hong Kong City. She had to catch up on her coursework these days and do some homework in advance. Fortunately, other classmates were busy preparing to apply to study abroad. Although Professor Sun and the others had to talk to students about the situation in foreign countries, they had more time.

So on weekends, Qin Xiang would bring food and drinks to the Tan family and the Sun family to attend classes.

Professor Sun's wife was curious, "Why don't you apply? I see they are all very active. Qin Xiang is so hardworking, she will definitely pass, right?"

"She?" Professor Sun sneered, "She would be willing to give up her factory? Wouldn't she be anxious to death if she was away for a few years abroad?"

Qin Xiang laughed, "There's no rush to go abroad."

Professor Sun nodded again, "Yes, yes, Qin Xiang has money. She doesn't need to apply for public scholarships to go abroad. She doesn't need the money."

Qin Xiang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "Professor Sun, I don't want to go out now because I feel that my aesthetics and vision are sufficient at this stage. The basic and theoretical knowledge taught by you and Professor Tan at school is enough. I will definitely go out to study when I need it, but not now."

Professor Sun rolled his eyes, "Okay, you are right, study hard. There is not much time left."

It has been more than half a month since the start of school, and he is busy every day.

When her third brother gets married during the National Day, she will fly directly from the provincial capital to Pengcheng, and then go through the border from Pengcheng to Gangcheng to join Meng Huaiqing.

Thinking of what will happen in a month, it would be a lie for Qin Xiang to say that she is not nervous.

She is just a tiny part of this world. She cannot change the direction of history, but she can control her own development and make herself soar in this era.

A week before the National Day, all the major universities in the capital began to select. Tsinghua University has a lot of places. After two days of oral and written tests, the whole school selected 20 students, who will go to Gangcheng to take the TOEFL test after the National Day.

In Qin Xiang's dormitory, Ding Xiang and Ming Chuanxiu were selected, Meilin was not selected, and Guan Yuping did not even register.

However, on the day when the results came out, Guan Yuping came back with a miserable face.

At the same time, Qin Xiang also learned the truth from Ding Xiang.
