The Chinese restaurant included two meals, and it took 12 days to receive a salary of 80 US dollars, which was a little less than Zhou Yi expected.
But she doesn't need to pay for food, she can actually support herself, and the $1,000 borrowed from Xia Xiaolan can be repaid in advance She had such a plan, but Xiao Qi persuaded her:
"If you are worried that you won't be able to pass the exam, then reduce the time you come to work, 6 hours a day is too long. You spend all your time on part-time work, what about the language school?"
Zhou Yi's head was about to explode.
Working in a Chinese restaurant solved her living expenses, but it really delayed her study time.
From 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., there are only 16 hours of non-sleeping time, 6 hours of illegal work, and other trivial delays, Zhou Yi's real study time is only about 8 hours.
Did she really study for 8 hours?
If you only study one course, everyone will feel tired of studying. If you study efficiently for 8 hours, the effect must be very good If Zhou Yi can do it, she will not panic when the exam is about to take place.
It's strange to say that she obviously knows Xia Xiaolan, a super university bully, but she refuses to ask Xia Xiaolan how to study well, but friends Ye Xiaoqiong and Xiao Qi who just met, she always listens very carefully to what they say.
With reduced working hours, Zhou Yi was afraid that she would not be able to repay Xia Xiaolan's money as scheduled.
Without reducing the part-time working hours, she was worried that she would not be able to pass the assessment.
Those who are afraid of wolves before and fear of tigers later, this is Zhou Yi's character, a coward without decisive power. She didn't want to let go of both ends, so Xiao Qi suggested that she go back to the dormitory and stay up late to study after finishing work at night.
Anyway, the dormitory does not turn off the lights.
"We used to learn one or two points every night before the college entrance examination!"
What Xiao Qi said was very natural, and Zhou Yi was crying
have learned a thing or two? Is that still a human life?
She still didn't dare to refute Xiao Qi, for fear of showing her cowardice.
Xiao Qi passed the college entrance examination and was assigned to work in a newspaper office after graduating from university. Affected by the craze of going abroad, he could not apply for the public sponsorship of his unit to go abroad, so he directly resigned his iron job and came to the United States.
Zhou Yi is a scumbag who has never even experienced the college entrance examination, whether it is round or flat, and the technical secondary school is also arranged by the family. I really don't know how hard people who study hard can treat themselves.
Zhou Yi felt that she had worked hard enough, and Xiao Qi immediately told her that it was not considered hard work if she did not study until one or two o'clock in the morning.
Zhou Yi was dubious:
"But I know a person who took part in the college entrance examination while doing a small business, and later won the provincial champion."
This is Xia Xiaolan.
It's just that they didn't name them.
Xiao Qi did not refute, but just patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder:
"Is this person comparable to others? For the same amount of words, some people can memorize them once, and some people can only memorize them a dozen times. We are ordinary people with ordinary qualifications. Don't compare yourself to those geniuses."
Zhou Yi: "!"
Damn, what she said made sense, and she couldn't refute it with a single word.
Zhou Yi was so tired that she was dying. Thinking of the upcoming exam, she dragged her tired feet back to school and had to stay up all night to study.
After staying up all night, Zhou Yi felt weak when walking.
The next day, he was listless and dragged by Xiao Qi to a Chinese restaurant.
It just so happened that Xia Xiaolan finished her morning work, came out of the theater, and was going to have lunch nearby with her colleagues. Xia Xiaolan, as the leader of the theater renovation team, walked with her own bgm, and when a group of people came out, she was also the one walking among the stars.
Subconsciously, Zhou Yi dragged Xiao Qi away.
"What are you doing? Know each other?"
Among the group of foreigners, the only one Zhou Yi could know was that beautiful Chinese woman.
This is obviously a group of professionals.
Such a young Chinese woman can walk in the middle, Xiao Qi is also very curious: "Do you know such a person?"
Zhou Yi opened her mouth, why can't she know each other, if nothing else, they will be her younger siblings.
"She is the one I mentioned as the number one scholar in the province."
When she was in China, Zhou Yi never envied Xia Xiaolan's money, all she envied was other aspects.
Arriving in the United States, Zhou Yi can feel the difference with Xia Xiaolan more and more, it's like a big trench filled with unevenness!
Xiao Qi was curious, Zhou Yi didn't say who Xia Xiaolan was, but she told about Xia Xiaolan.
I heard that Xia Xiaolan relies on English.Sai came to the United States as an exchange student, Cornell University's Department of Architecture, and was able to do an internship at the GMP firm. Xiao Qi looked at Zhou Yi as if he was looking at a fool.
Xiao Qi has never attended an overseas student party, if he had, he would have recognized Xia Xiaolan a long time ago.
In this way, she also felt very strange:
"Look at her, is she just an intern? Zhou Yi, you are willing to wash dishes in a Chinese restaurant without worshiping a big Buddha!"
It is also a part-time job.
Working in the greasy back kitchen of a Chinese restaurant, what useful experience can I accumulate?
Could it be possible to wash dishes for a lifetime!
But if you enter a large American company as an intern Xiao Qi's breathing is a little short, she came to the United States to do great things, if she has Zhou Yi's resources, she will definitely save countless mistakes!
Xiao Qi hated iron but not steel, Zhou Yi said embarrassingly:
"Didn't you say that we can only work illegally with student visas, and it's useless to ask her to help!"
Xiao Qi is good at poking her, "Are you stupid or not? It doesn't matter. Poor students can only do illegal jobs. Students with connections can go for 'internships' in the name of the school. Any company's internship subsidy is cheaper than mine. Get a lot of monthly food! You don¡¯t want this opportunity. I don¡¯t know how many people will fight for it. It¡¯s not only for living expenses. You¡¯re worried about the 101-level test and assessment, but you never thought that this female classmate you know can Get rid of other college students in Huaguo, who rely on English competitions to win special prizes as exchange students What are you thinking?"
Is there a better person to ask for advice than this?
The teachers of the language school, after all, are not one-to-one teaching.
Xiao Qi thinks that if one can win a special prize in the competition in China, the English proficiency is not bad enough to be equivalent to the mother tongue.
A Chinese who can speak English as well as his mother tongue must have his own learning method.
Zhou Yi didn't want to cherish the opportunity, but Xiao Qi really wanted to ask Xia Xiaolan for advice.
Xiaoqi is currently stuck at level 108, and he feels that he can't get up and down, and it's rather confusing to go up.
No, Zhou Yi must go to worship this big Buddha, otherwise Xiao Qi is embarrassed to come to the door if he has no relatives or reasons.
"Zhou Yi, let me tell you"
Xia Xiaolan felt that she saw Zhou Yi just now.
Looking back again, the person disappeared, and I don't know if he was avoiding her on purpose.
Xia Xiaolan didn't think too much about it. It's always right that Zhou Yi endured a lot of hardship. Whether she studied hard or not, the language school's test can explain everything. She came out of the theater in the afternoon, and Matthew poked his head at the door:
"There's a party over there with Tina, do you want to go?"
Xia Xiaolan is not interested in any parties at all, she originally planned to drive back to Ithaca.
But now she suspects that Tina is related to Fine and Xu Zhongyi, and she wants to quietly wait for an opportunity to get close to the two brothers and sisters.
"Go, why don't I go!" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
