Selection results
The preliminary selection is exactly the same as the formal college entrance examination, and the process is of course no exception.
If a person does not have an admission ticket, no matter how much he begs, the invigilator and other staff will never let him in.
No matter how hard Zhang Yu begged outside, even on his knees, the teacher, who abided by the rules and regulations, still refused to let him into the examination room.
The next second, Zhang Yu rushed to another office and called his family.
He really didn't know what to do, and could only subconsciously ask his family for help. But he didn't know whether his family could save him this time.
The answer is of course no. Zhang Yu called home and the first people to arrive were his mother and grandmother.
These two women who were always at odds with each other were now in harmony. There was only one theme for their harmony, and that was to ask the teacher to show leniency and let their sons/grandsons enter the examination room.
Grandma Zhang practically knelt down. "Teacher, can my child's admission ticket be reissued? I just told him to be extra careful yesterday, and he repeatedly assured me it was there. He must have dropped it somewhere today. Seriously, teacher, it was just a small mistake! Teacher, can't you just let him off after three years of studying in school?"
Zhang Yu's mother pleaded, "Yes, yes, teacher. You're a teacher, so you must know more than we do. The Gaokao preliminaries are a serious matter. They determine whether or not a student is officially eligible to take the Gaokao! If Xiaoyu can't get into the exam room this time, then he won't be able to take the Gaokao this year! This won't do. Our Xiaoyu has studied hard for ten years. Is all that hard work going to waste because of a piece of paper?"
Zhang Yu stood beside him with a pale face, not knowing how to react.
His mind was blank and he kept recalling what had just happened.
He had been thinking about the plan for a week. Zhang Yu had a good idea. He just needed to lose Jian Jianan's admission ticket without Jian Jianan knowing. Then Jian Jianan would have no chance of taking the college entrance examination!
He wanted to see what the situation would be like if this heir, who her parents had always been proud of, could not take the college entrance examination!
But unexpectedly, maybe because he was a little nervous when doing this kind of thing for the first time, or maybe it was karma, everything has its own destiny, he actually took the wrong admission ticket!
That is to say, that is to say, what he just threw away was his admission ticket!
It’s all your own fault!
Zhang Yu wailed in his heart. Was this a warning from God? Was even God telling him that it was not okay to do such a dirty thing?
Could it be that this was God's warning to him that it was absolutely impossible to target Jian Jianan, as Jian Jianan was a person blessed by God?
Zhang Yu didn't believe it at first, but after this, he couldn't help but believe it! The two women in the family were so worried about their sons that they knelt down, begged, and cried and quarreled in the corridor.
All the senior high school classrooms are in the same teaching building. The students who were taking exams nearby were naturally affected and heard the loud noise coming from outside.
Everyone was getting a little irritated. Anyone would be furious if this happened to them. Such an important exam should have provided a quiet and peaceful environment for the students, but somehow, the noise outside had become as chaotic as a market. From time to time, the shrill cries of an elderly person could be heard, causing great annoyance to the students.
The examination room where Jian Jianan was located was closest to Zhang Yu, so he naturally heard it most clearly and had the biggest reaction. The students immediately started talking about it, and some even took the lead in giving suggestions to the invigilator, asking him to see if he could stop others from crying and making a fuss near the examination room.
But Jian Jianan acted as if nothing had happened and she heard no sound. She threw herself into the preliminary examination, reading the questions, solving them and answering them. These three steps flowed smoothly. Jian Jianan was completely immersed in her own little world, completing her own test paper step by step.
The invigilator kept putting his finger to his mouth, asking them to speak more quietly, but it was of no use. It was as if Zhang Yu's grandmother had grasped the lifeblood of the school. Not only did she not stop the crying, but she cried even louder.
"Mr. Yin! I, an old man, have toiled for decades to raise my grandson, all so that he could get into a good university! But because of a small piece of paper, you blocked him from entering the examination room. You didn't even give him a chance to get in!"
Zhang Yu's grandmother cried very loudly and even knelt down in front of the teachers. "Please have some mercy on an old lady like me! I kneel down to you. I kneel down to you. Isn't that enough?"
Although Zhang Yu's mother was also very sad, she still had some rationality. She also knew that Zhang Yu's grandmother's behavior had aroused public anger, so she didn't care about pleading for her son. She quickly thought about helping Zhang Yu's grandmother up. She whispered: "Mom, Mom, don't be like this. I know you are very sad, but the teachers don't want this to happen, and the teachers can't decide anything. You should get up quickly! Kneeling down won't solve the problem, and you just had knee surgery some time ago. It will definitely hurt if you kneel for a long time! You don't want Zhang Yu to feel sorry for you, do you?"
Zhang Yu’s grandmother glared at Zhang Yu’s mother fiercely. This stinky woman, she was obviously about to succeed, but didn’t she see the hesitation on the faces of the invigilators in front of her? If she just kneeled a little more, just for a while, maybe the invigilators would change their minds and let her precious grandson take the exam!
But this stinky woman came to beg for mercy now, which made him fail!
The invigilator was originally a little soft-hearted, and anyone who saw this scene would be a little soft-hearted, but soon a teacher reacted and sternly stopped Zhang Yu's grandmother's actions.
"Old man, I know what you're thinking! But I have to tell you, this won't work! Our exam room has its own regulations, and every class teacher has warned us before the exam that we must keep our admission tickets safe. We absolutely cannot lose them! Otherwise, we won't be able to enter the exam room!"
Zhang Yu's grandmother didn't believe it. The invigilator was willing to persuade her kindly because she was an old lady but loved her grandson so much. However, Zhang Yu's grandmother had always followed the principle of making a fuss from her youth to old age. She was used to making a fuss and thought that everything in the world was decided by making a fuss. It was the same as now. If she made a fuss a few times, others would agree to let her grandson in!
The argument between Zhang Yu's grandmother and the school teacher continued until Zhang Yu's father arrived. Zhang Yu had been watching palely on the side, but now, seeing his father coming, a bit of hope ignited in his heart.
His dad is coming! His dad is coming!
Zhang Yu's eyes were full of joy of having escaped from a desperate situation. He thought his father had received the news and came to rescue him!
However, just as Zhang Yu was looking at his father's approaching figure with a bright smile, and raised his head to call his father's name, "Dad...", he was unexpectedly slapped in the face. The owner of the big hand was Zhang Yu's father.
Zhang Yu's father first scolded Zhang Yu, "You little bastard! You can't even pack your things properly, and you've caused so much trouble to the school and the teachers, making them worry and sad because of you. It's totally wrong!"
"And I don't have a job? Do you think I'm free? I've been staying up until three in the morning every day for this project, and I even had to preside over a meeting today. And yet you, a brat, called me to school to clean up your mess! Do you think you should? Do you think you're right?"
Zhang Yu's father first scolded Zhang Yu, then turned around and apologized repeatedly to the invigilators and the head teacher who had rushed over after hearing the news: "I'm sorry, teachers, I'm really sorry. Today's incident has caused you trouble. Don't worry, I will educate my child well when I get home, and I will definitely teach him a lesson and make sure he doesn't cause you any more trouble! I will definitely teach him a lesson when I go back, and make him understand the seriousness of today's farce!"
The parents had already said so, what else could the invigilator do? He could only speak up to stop them, "No, no, no, Mr. Zhang, don't get excited. We're fine, and I understand your behavior. The children studied so hard just for the college entrance examination. Now that they've failed, they're naturally anxious. It's not surprising that people will do anything when they're anxious. Don't blame the child too much when you get home. After all, no one wants something like this to happen. As a parent, you should still pay attention to your child's health when you get home. The college entrance examination isn't just for once. Let your child prepare well so they can take it again next time!"
As the teacher said this, he escorted Zhang Yu and three or four others out of the school gate. Director Gao breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, someone who understands the situation has come!"
They say that old people love their grandchildren the most, and that's true. Zhang Yu's grandmother is really difficult to deal with. Just now, she knelt down in front of the teachers over a disagreement. Can they bear the pain of such an old lady in the cabinet? If they really don't do something, it will really shorten their lives!
Zhang Yu followed his family out of the school gate without saying a word. After they walked out of the school gate and the teacher disappeared, Zhang Yu's father suddenly turned around and slapped his son hard. This time, the force was not the kind of force that he would put on in front of the teacher. After a crisp slap, a deep red slap mark appeared on Zhang Yu's face. The bright red of the slap mark was enough to show how hard Zhang Yu's father slapped him!
"Hey, why are you hitting him?" Zhang Yu's grandmother immediately spoke out to stop him.
"Why would I hit him? Don't you even ask how much trouble this brat has caused me and how big a mess he's made!"
Zhang Yu's father was still furious and stared at his son fiercely. His eyes did not look like he was looking at his own son, but rather as if he was looking at the murderer of his father.
When Zhang Yu's grandmother heard her son say this, she quickly asked, "What kind of trouble is this causing you? Is it something related to your work?"
Although Zhang Yu's grandmother loves her grandson very much, that is only based on the fact that Zhang Yu is her grandson. Ultimately, the person she loves the most is her own son.
If you ask her who to choose between her daughter-in-law and her grandson, she will definitely choose her grandson. But if it's between her son and her grandson, she will definitely choose her son!
After all, there is a layer of blood between you and your grandson, so he is not your biological child.
Zhang Yu's father immediately became furious when he heard his mother ask this. He pointed his finger at Zhang Yu's head, his face full of resentment, "It's all because of this brat! It's fine that he doesn't have an admission ticket, but he even brought this to my workplace!"
Zhang Yu's grandmother immediately became nervous when she heard this: "What? And it even happened at your workplace? Did the boss hear it?"
"Of course I heard it! I had no other choice but to ask for leave from my boss and come back to take a look!"
Zhang Yu's father said angrily, "Luckily I asked for leave and came back, otherwise I wouldn't have known you had made such a big fuss! If I hadn't come, my boss would have found out about your scandalous behavior at school the next day!"
Zhang Yu's grandmother mumbled in her defense, "I'm just worried about my grandson." Suddenly, a thought occurred to her, and she quickly asked, "So, Xiaoyu, is it true that Xiaoyu can't participate in the preliminaries?"
Zhang Yu's father was furious. "Preliminary election? You're still thinking about his preliminaries? I'm lucky you didn't get me expelled!"
Upon hearing this, even Zhang Yu's grandmother didn't dare to plead for her son. If her grandson couldn't take the college entrance examination, then he couldn't take it. He could always try again next year. If her son lost his job, the family wouldn't even have a chance to survive!
She still knows what is more important.
The two elderly mother and son in front walked very fast, while Zhang Yu and her son behind moved forward slowly like a turtle.
As a mother, she certainly felt sorry for her son. She was also very sad that her son lost his admission ticket and could not participate in the preliminaries. Looking at Zhang Yu's expression, she knew that he must be silently sad in his heart, but there was nothing she could do about it.
"Xiao Yu, your father has said so, so let's forget about it. Let's put it this way. Don't be sad. Just treat this little incident as a test from heaven. Next time, study hard in the classroom and prepare for next year's college entrance exam. Think about it, next year's college entrance exam, you'll have a year longer than other candidates to prepare. Aren't your chances of success a bit better?"
Zhang Yu had a cold face, and no one knew what he was thinking. It seemed like this was the first time he had come out of the ivory tower. In the past, he could only see his own little piece of business, and felt sorry for his father's work. He thought that it was Jian Jianan and Shan Jiqing who were the two culprits who caused his father's career to fail.
However, today, a slap from his father woke Zhang Yu up and he realized that his father was just that kind of person. In his mind, he had no place in the family. He used to delusionally believe that his father treated him harshly because he was his only son. That's why he treated him like an enemy and was so nervous, and often he wouldn't treat him well.
So that's how it is. Zhang Yu finally understood. His father treated him like this because he didn't really consider him his son. He just felt that Zhang Yu was just a little toy to him. His previous harsh words and bad looks at him were because this little toy didn't meet his expectations. He scolded him harshly because Zhang Yu couldn't compare to the children of his old enemy.
Now, Zhang Yu has caused so much trouble to his father at work. Zhang Yu can imagine with his toes what kind of hard life he will have when he returns home.
When Zhang Yu's father opened the taxi door for his family, he happened to meet his son's eyes. When he saw his son's gloomy eyes behind him, he suddenly panicked, and then he immediately reacted. What was wrong? As a father, he was afraid of his own son?
This is really not right! Why does this kid have such a sinister look in his eyes? What is he thinking? That look just now scared me!
"Hurry up and get in the car! I'll punish you when we get home!"
"Old Zhang, how dare you talk like that! Can't you see your son is so sad? Why are you so loud?"
"Why should he be sad? Isn't he the one who doesn't have the admission ticket?"
"Hey, I'm telling you guys to stop arguing. What's wrong with you, eldest daughter-in-law? Why are you arguing with your husband?"
Jian Jianan, who was writing fluently in the examination hall, naturally had no idea what was going on here. She just felt that this exam was going very smoothly, as if every question was one she had done before. Even if she didn't know the answer, she could figure it out roughly after a little thought.
After the exam was over, Jian Jianan reunited with the members of the four-member team.
As they went to the cafeteria, they talked about the content of the exam they had just taken.
Duan Duan asked him, "Hey Nan Nan, your exam room seems to be number 12, right? It's close to that place. Did you hear any noise?"
Jian Jianan didn't notice anything at all. "What? Was there any sound? I didn't even know what was going on just now."
Duan Duan was just asking casually, "Oh, you didn't hear it? That's fine, it's okay. When I was leaving the exam room, I heard several invigilators talking about a student who forgot to bring their admission ticket and couldn't enter the elective exam room. Their parents came to the school and made a scene. It was really a headache!"
Jian Jianan was surprised: "What? He even forgot his admission ticket? Then he definitely can't take the college entrance examination selection test, and he definitely can't take the college entrance examination after that."
"Yes, yes. We were just saying that this candidate was too careless. Didn't the homeroom teacher just emphasize to everyone yesterday that they must always carry their admission tickets with them and not forget to do so?"
But this was just a small episode. After dinner, Jian Jianan put this little episode behind him.
The selection process will take more than one day, she will have two days of formal examinations to go through!
Just as Jian Jianan had imagined, he passed the preliminary examination smoothly. After the preliminary examination, all the students in the school had a two-day weekend holiday. Jian Jianan also planned to take this rare opportunity to go home and have a good rest.
On Friday afternoon, after finishing three days of intense and exciting exams, the students rushed out of the teaching building like prisoners out for some fresh air.
Jian Jianan, as always, stayed with his three friends. Their four-person team was unbreakable and always acted together. The others were used to it.
"The preliminaries are finally over!" Duan Duan sighed with emotion. "You know what? I was so nervous before the exam that I couldn't sleep all night. But I didn't expect that I felt so energetic during the exam. I'm getting more and more confident. I hope to get a good result in the end and get a ticket to the college entrance examination!"
Jian Jianan comforted her, "Don't worry, Luoluo. With your grades, as long as you perform normally, you will definitely pass the preliminaries! I think now that we've finished the preliminaries, we should start preparing for the college entrance exam in a month!"
The three-day college entrance examination in early June is the official exam they should worry about!
"That's right. Let's go back and have a good rest today, and then we will come back next Monday to start the intensive preparation for the college entrance examination. I hope that no one will relax at all just because they did well in the preliminary examination. You know, the formal test that belongs to us has not come yet!" Shan Jiqing was very serious.
His attitude was serious, but the effect he intended wasn't that good. Duan Duan glanced at him sideways as soon as he heard what he said, tut-tutting a few times. He deliberately lagged behind and said to Lin Chuan, who always walked at the end of the four-man team, "Do you think Shan Jiqing has been a little strange lately?"
Although it was a question, the paragraph didn't indicate that Lin Chuan was expected to answer. She continued, "I used to feel that Nan Nan was the leader of our four-person team. She always had many clever and clever ideas. If I say that she is the leader of our four-person team, you probably won't object, right?"
Lin Chuan shook his head, indicating that he certainly wouldn't object. "Nannan has been in that environment since she was a child. Seeing her parents make decisions, she naturally has her own ideas. She's also very gentle and soft in her decision-making process, not always forceful. Often, her decisions make sense, so there's no need for us to object."
"That's right. But I think, do you have a feeling that Shan Jiqing has been becoming more and more like Nan Nan recently? In the past, it was only Nan Nan who told us the general direction, but now Shan Jiqing seems to have joined the team."
Duan Duan stroked his chin thoughtfully. Lin Chuan did have a clue, but he couldn't tell her right now. He felt that Duan was so clueless that she wouldn't understand even if he told her.
Lin Chuan coughed a few times and said, "This is normal. I think people will be like this once they reach this age."
"No! This is definitely not possible. Why is Shan Jiqing so eager to perform recently that he even took over the work that originally belonged to Nan Nan!" Duan Duan clapped his hands and decided to do something.
Lin Chuan quickly reached out to stop him, "Stop, stop, stop, stop, wait, wait, slow down for a moment! What are you going to do?"
Lin Chuan finally stopped the paragraph after going through so much trouble. How should he explain to his friends? Shan Jiqing was not just having a sudden desire to perform. He was awakening at his age and wanted to better show himself as a good husband and father in front of Jian Jianan. He wanted to be her good wife, share her worries, and help her solve more problems.
Jian Jianan didn't know about Shan Jiqing's little thoughts, but she still noticed the changes in Shan Jiqing during this period. Specifically, her friend would take the initiative to take over things that originally belonged to Jian Jianan, and then put them back after Jian Jianan had handled them.
For example, when someone came to ask Jian Jianan a question, Shan Jiqing, who usually had a cold face and didn't say a word, would take the initiative to answer other people's questions; for example, because Jian Jianan was about to graduate this year, so when he was looking for a suitable candidate to take over the book rental business, Shan Jiqing had already calmly handed him a piece of paper with a list of all the suitable candidates he had found; for another example, now, Jian Jianan has not yet made a summary of the preliminary examination and looked forward to the future, but Shan Jiqing has already said everything he wanted to say.
Jian Jianan was slightly puzzled. Why did she feel that their four-member team seemed to have developed into a situation where a kind father and a strict mother had a pair of children?
No, no, no, definitely not, this must be my illusion!
Jian Jianan shook his head and threw all his random guesses out of his mind.
She looked at Shan Jiqing, "By the way, Xiaoqing, I haven't asked you how the preliminary exam went a few days ago?"
“I did fine on the test!”
"Okay, then I'm relieved. The four of us will wait for the preliminary exam scores to come out and get our tickets for the college entrance exam. Of course, while we're waiting for the scores, we can't slack off at all and must prepare diligently for the college entrance exam."
Shan Jiqing nodded and wrote it down, declaring that he would definitely adhere to Jian Jianan's ideas, implement Jian Jianan's policies, and put them into practice. As soon as he lowered his head, he had already come up with several good ways to improve the four people's overall score.
The four-member team has known each other since elementary school and has never been separated for a long time. They will definitely maintain this friendship when they go to college.
The dream schools of the four people are all in the capital. Shan Jiqing doesn't worry about the others, but the paragraph is a little bit dangerous. Now there is only one month left before the college entrance examination. He must make a perfect study plan to ensure that no one of his friends falls behind!
After about five days, the preliminary results came out. As expected, the four members of Jian Jianan's team passed the preliminary exam perfectly and obtained the qualification to take the college entrance examination one month later.
But some people are not so lucky.
Those who did not pass the preliminaries knew their fate early on. Although they were unwilling, the reality was there. What else could they do but accept it?
After the selection test results came out, the school was vaguely divided into two factions. One faction was naturally the students who could take the college entrance examination. They continued to work hard as before, getting up earlier than the chickens and sleeping later than the dogs every day. Sometimes, they even memorized English words in their dreams!
But there are some others who are not so lucky. After all, the essence of exams is competition, and in competition there will be winners and losers. Some students did not pass the college entrance examination preliminaries and could not take the exam a month later.
The psychological gap between them is very large. Just imagine that if you have studied hard for ten years for today's college entrance examination, but received a notice one month before the college entrance examination saying that you can no longer participate, it must be a bolt from the blue!
Among these unsuccessful candidates, some have a better mentality and will continue to show up in school and study with their classmates or even classmates. In their minds, a momentary mistake is not a permanent mistake. Even if they cannot take the college entrance examination this time, there is still next year.
If they study hard from now on, by next year, won’t they have learned one year more than their younger classmates and be more competitive?
Some unsuccessful candidates did not have as good a mental state as other candidates. They burst into tears the moment they heard the results. They cried while lying on their backs, standing up, and hugging their friends. They hated themselves for not studying harder, for not learning more, and for not being able to look at the questions more carefully during the exam!
So many factors led to this failure.
Unlike those students who stayed in school to attend classes after learning the preliminary results, some chose to leave immediately. They packed all their bags after the preliminary results came out and prepared to leave school that night.
When Jian Jianan was leaving school that day, he saw the class's sports committee member riding a bicycle with a huge wooden box on the back seat. The box was filled with his precious textbooks. The sports committee member looked at the box of precious books with a look full of love and reluctance. Although he was very eager to take the books, he had to take them away. He didn't know how regretful he must have been.
Seeing this scene, Jian Jianan's heart was touched for some reason. She ran forward and waved to the sports committee member: "Brother Qiang! Brother Qiang, are you not going to stay in school?"
Brother Qiang replied, "I won't stay. The results are out now. Why should I stay in school? Wouldn't that just continue to embarrass me in school?"
After thinking for a moment, he advised, "As for you, you usually have good grades, and you will definitely pass this selection test. You must not embarrass yourself like me. Just study hard in school and strive to get a good score in the college entrance examination to get into a good university!"
Jian Jianan nodded, accepted the Sports Committee's kindness, and said solemnly: "Thank you, Brother Qiang, I will, I will definitely study hard!"
Brother Qiang nodded and wanted to ride his bicycle away in a cool manner. Men don't shed tears easily. Even though he was very reluctant, he didn't want to show it in front of his former classmates.
Unexpectedly, just when Brother Qiang put his left foot on the bicycle pedal and wanted to leave, he was suddenly stopped by Jian Jianan.
"Hey, Brother Qiang! Wait a moment, don't leave yet!" Jian Jianan called out to the physical education committee member.
"What's wrong with you?" Brother Qiang turned around and looked confused.
"It's like this. I suddenly want to ask you, what are you planning to do now that you are leaving?" Jian Jianan suddenly started chatting with Brother Qiang about family matters.
"As for me, I'm planning on going home to help my mom grow vegetables. My family lives in a county town near Shenzhen, and our family has been farmers for generations. It's hard enough for them to support me through school. Now that I didn't get selected, I have nowhere else to go, so I might as well go back and help them farm! Farming is something I've been doing since I was a kid, so it's my forte!"
Jian Jianan nodded. That was fine. It seemed that Brother Qiang’s family situation was pretty much the same as he thought.
Brother Qiang didn't wait for Jian Jianan's answer and hurried home to make changes. "That's it, Jian Jianan. I'm anxious to get home. If we have anything to discuss, we can talk about it when we meet again!"
Jian Jianan stopped Qiang Ge's bike and refused to let him go. "Hey, Qiang Ge, listen to me first. Here's a good idea. Go find a factory to wholesale ice cream and ice water. Sell them at the school gate during the three days of the college entrance exam. I guarantee you'll make a killing!"
After thinking about it, Jian Jianan changed his words and said, "I guarantee you can make a small profit!"
After all, Brother Qiang has no experience in making money. He has never thought about doing business before. The possibility of making a lot of money is very small, but he can still guarantee a small profit.
Brother Qiang looked at Jian Jianan in disbelief, as if he was a poor boy who had been unknown for decades and suddenly received guidance from a powerful person.
"What did you say? Are you telling me how to make money, Nannan?" When the physical education committee member heard that Jian Jianan had given him some advice, he immediately forgot to even pedal his bike. He stared at Jian Jianan with a glowing face and even changed his way of addressing him from Jian Jianan's full name to the more intimate "Nannan".
Everyone knew Jian Jianan's identity. The sports committee member was not surprised at all that Jian Jianan came up with such an idea. Coming from a merchant family, she must have a better understanding of how to run a business, and naturally had more experience to teach others.
It’s not that there were people who had approached Jianan in the past, either jokingly or using jokes to hide their sincerity and asking Jianan to teach them some business methods, but Jianan had always rebuffed them intentionally or unintentionally.
This is normal. After all, you are all strangers to each other. Why should you ask others to teach you the tricks of doing business right away?
So Brother Qiang didn't expect that Jian Jianan would come to him today and say so many words to him.
"Is this possible?" The physical education committee member's eyes sparkled in disbelief, filled with the joy of having found a treasure.
"Yes, yes," Jian Jianan nodded seriously, "This idea is not only feasible, but also has great potential for implementation! Brother Qiang, think about it, aren't the three days of the college entrance examination a very important day for every candidate and their families? The summer in our Guangdong Province is particularly long and hot, especially in June and July when the heat peaks. Imagine that after you finish your exam in the scorching summer heat and leave the exam room with a dry mouth, at this moment you suddenly appear like a savior, bringing a three-piece set of ice cream, ice water, and mung bean soup to relieve the heat. Everyone will rush to buy it, and maybe you won't even be able to sell enough, so you'll have to go home to restock it, Brother Qiang!"
The sports committee member seemed to be lost in thought, but then, as if realizing something, he humbly asked Jian Nan, "That doesn't seem right. Nan Nan, you also said that it was a big day for the candidates. They had studied so hard for this day, so they would definitely treat their most important exams with great care and pay attention to their diet. Although it's summer, eating too much cold food can easily cause diarrhea. I don't believe anyone wouldn't have thought of this. So, can my stuff still be sold?"
Brother Qiang looked at Jian Jianan for help. He was a little panicked. It was not that he did not believe Jian Jianan, nor that he felt that Jian Jianan was deceiving him, but his family was not well off, at least not as wealthy as Jian Jianan's. He could afford the money for purchasing goods, but the whole family had to tighten their belts. If they took a wrong step by accident, the money would be wasted, and their life would not be easy in the future.
Jian Jianan smiled slightly: "Brother Qiang, don't just stare at the candidates! Think about who is surrounding the candidates? It's the parents! The candidates will pay attention to food safety and be very careful with the food they eat. Maybe there will be fewer people coming to buy iced drinks, but parents don't have this worry! They are the people accompanying the exam. Although they are just as nervous as the candidates, they don't have so many concerns about food safety. An exam takes three hours, and they often have to wait outside the exam room for a whole morning or afternoon. Even if they are in a cool place with shade, they will be thirsty under the sun in such a scorching environment. At that time, your base is like a cool island in the vast ocean, or like a cool oasis in the scorching desert. You will never worry about a lack of business!"
The sports committee member thought about what Jian Jianan said and slapped his forehead, "Oh, that's right, Nan Nan, you're right, absolutely right! Why didn't I think of this!"
He muttered to himself and looked at Jian Jianan embarrassedly, "I'm so sorry, Nannan, I doubted you just now. In fact, I didn't consider it carefully. I really shouldn't have..."
Before he could finish his words, Jian Jianan stopped him. She shook her head and said, "Brother Qiang, don't say that about yourself. You just don't have any experience. If I were in your situation, the choices I would make wouldn't necessarily be better than yours."
Brother Qiang scratched his head shyly. "Thank you so much, Nannan. I don't know how to thank you for what happened today. Don't worry, after the preliminary results came out, I thought my life was over. I was ready to go home and plant sweet potatoes. I didn't expect you to choose this path for me. It's just right that I can make a little money this month to supplement the family income and help my parents bear some of the burden!"
