Chapter 18: Winning the Preliminary Contest (Asking for Recommendation Votes)

Soon it was Cao Xiuyan's turn.

Cao Xiuyan put on a blazer, straightened his collar, straightened his waist and walked out.

Standing in the waiting area, he was empty-handed, and he didn't bring the manuscript with him.

Manuscripts are allowed in the preliminary round, but they are not allowed in the semi-finals.

But in the speech contest, there must be a lot more impressions than the impression.

The ninth person walked out of the door and glanced at Cao Xiuyan. Cao Xiuyan straightened up and walked onto the podium. His eyes wandered around the four judges, revealing a friendly and respectful smile, and he said:

"Good evening, judges. ”

Confidence, smiling, neither humble nor arrogant, is always the best armed color for speeches.

As soon as his voice came out, the eyes of several seniors in the audience lit up.

Good tone.

As soon as you open your mouth, you will know that the old rivers and lakes are gone.

"Distinguished judges, the title of my speech today is "Don't forget the original intention, remember the mission" ......"

Cao Xiuyan's waist was straight, his hands were close to the seams of his trousers, and he didn't add any movement.

Many people like to add small movements, walking back and forth, or some hand gestures when giving speeches. But in terms of stage presentation, it is far less good than standing upright.

The boys gave speeches with their hands close to the seams of their trousers, and the girls gave speeches with their hands folded on their abdomen, smiling, neither humble nor arrogant.

Cao Xiuyan did not use his movements to set off his emotions, but used the two techniques of accent and pause to constantly present the effect of the speech, which gradually led to a climax.

These people in the audience are the backbone of the speech team, and the captain and vice captain are all there. It's rare for them to see a freshman with such a brilliant speech.

"This concludes my remarks, and I thank you for listening. ”

Cao Xiuyan bowed again.

It's five minutes up.

Cao Xiuyan's speech came to an abrupt end.

Crazy stuck points.

He has rigorously calculated the speed and pauses of his speech, and strives to fully express his content and rhythm within these five minutes.

The four people in the audience couldn't stop nodding, very satisfied with Cao Xiuyan's performance.

Cao Xiuyan stood where he was, and he was not in a hurry to leave.

"You're doing well," said the girl sitting in the middle, "have you trained systematically before?"

Yo, old acquaintance. Yin Qiao, the captain of the speech team, is a junior sister.

Cao Xiuyan nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I trained in high school. ”

Yin Qiao nodded and said, "Looking forward to your performance in the rematch." ”

Steady.

Those with a slightly normal intelligence can hear the subtext of this sentence. Cao Xiuyan was not a fool, so he immediately bowed again and said, "Thank you." I will continue to work hard to live up to the expectations of my seniors. ”

After saying that, he let out a signature smile.

Well, boys who love to laugh are generally not too unlucky.

After making eye contact with a few judges to show friendship, Cao Xiuyan turned around and walked out with his head held high.

Whew-

Cao Xiuyan let out a sigh of relief.

In the previous life, Yin Qiao told him that he should be very serious about every speech, there was no pressure on the stage, and he was looking for a state of self-confidence.

Cao Xiuyan adheres to it and never slackens.

Back in the exam room where he was preparing for the exam, Cao Xiuyan sat down and let out another sigh.

Chi Qian was a little nervous, and she was about to go out to prepare.

She feigned composure, squeezed out a smile and said, "How is it, there should be no problem, right?"

Cao Xiuyan glanced at her and said, "There's no problem." Take it easy, take a deep breath, and be careful not to speak too fast, but to speak slowly. ”

Chi Qian snorted, and did not follow Cao Xiuyan's words now.

At least you can't show nervousness in front of him.

Chi Qian thought to herself.

Cao Xiuyan looked at his phone, it was only seven o'clock now. The game started at 6:20, which was relatively smooth.

Cao Xiuyan wanted to leave.

There's really no point in staying here.

As a result, if you can't get out tonight, you will definitely have to wait until the next day, and you will be notified by SMS.

As for Chi Qian......

Cao Xiuyan glanced at the pair of high heels on her feet, and thought about it, let's wait for her for a while, and the battery car will carry her back.

Chi Qian looked at Cao Xiuyan and looked down at her legs, and said angrily: "What are you looking at, pervert." ”

Cao Xiuyan couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "I'm looking at your shoes." Wearing shoes with such high heels is easy to sprain. Next time, don't wear a seven-centimeter one, a five-centimeter one is good. ”

Chi Qian was a little embarrassed, lowered her head and said, "Oh." ”

"Number 13, Chi Qian. ”

The student council officer at the door is calling.

Cao Xiuyan gave up a position for Chi Qian to facilitate her to go out.

"Come on. Cao Xiuyan said.

Chi Qian stepped on high heels, gradually adjusted her demeanor, straightened her back, straightened her chest, raised her head, and steadied her steps.

When she arrived at the door, Chi Qian had already changed her state-

Confident, elegant, generous.

She opened the door, looked back at Cao Xiuyan and smiled softly, turned around and left the classroom.

Everyone in the classroom was staring at her, and some of the boys were still asking for her name.

Chi Qian is Chi Qian, and she is the focus of the crowd wherever she goes.

Cao Xiuyan unbuttoned the top button of his shirt and adjusted the neckline.

I took out the notebook from my bag and made a heavy mark on it.

One more task accomplished.

Glancing at the notebook, Cao Xiuyan found that there were still three reading notes that had not been written, as well as an English homework and a modern Chinese homework.

Although the time for handing in was relatively late, Cao Xiuyan did not intend to delay it.

The phrase "deadline is the primary productive force" is widely circulated in universities, but it does not apply to Cao Xiuyan.

If everything drags on to the end, it will inevitably become a crematorium, and the quality of the work will definitely be affected at that time.

This has an impact on grade points.

When Chi Qian came out, he sent her back to the dormitory, and then went to the library to add a clock.

As for whether Chi Qian is happy or not, it has nothing to do with him......

After waiting for a while, Chi Qian came back. Judging from her expression, Cao Xiuyan should not be bad.

Originally, Chi Qian was very good. With his own strength, he entered the speech team.

and Cao Xiuyan have been teammates for a year. Otherwise, in the previous life, he would not be so familiar with Cao Xiuyan.

It's a pity that Cao Xiuyan quit the speech team because he was lazy in his sophomore year.

At that time, Yin Qiao, who was about to graduate and left office automatically, persuaded him for a long time, but he didn't persuade Cao Xiuyan to go back.

Before Chi Qian returned to her seat, Cao Xiuyan stood up and picked up the two people's things, and said lightly: "Let's go, go back." ”

Before Chi Qian could react, she was pushed out of the classroom by Cao Xiuyan.

When he was about to go out, Cao Xiuyan glanced in Luo Jie's direction, and the seat was already empty. Maybe the speech is over and gone.

Cao Xiuyan smiled and said in his heart, let's see you next time.

Out of the teaching building, Chi Qian said happily: "I should be stable, that senior sister told me that she was looking forward to my performance in the rematch." Cao Xiuyan, am I very good?"

Cao Xiuyan glanced at Chi Qian, and her raised snow-white neck was a little conspicuous in the night.

"Don't be arrogant next time you speak, you look like a giraffe with your neck raised. Cao Xiuyan walked to the parking place and pressed the remote lock.

"Didi~"

Two soft sounds interrupted Chi Qian, who was about to get angry:

"Did you buy a battery car?"

Cao Xiuyan nodded, put the bag in front, twisted the key, and started the battery car.

"Why are you stunned, come up. Cao Xiuyan glanced back at Chi Qian.

Chi Qian cautiously stepped on her high heels, where the ground was dotted with some pebbles, which was a little inconvenient to walk.

"Why don't you tell me when you buy a car, I'll help you pick a good-looking style, how ugly this color and style are, it doesn't match you at all......"

Chi Qian chattered and sat down.

To be bad.

When a girl starts interfering with what you buy, it proves that she already wants to come into your life and intervene in your life.

This is a very dangerous sign.

Cao Xiuyan immediately said: "Yes, it's good for you to sit, where do I have so much money to buy a good car." Make do with it. ”

As he spoke, he twisted the handlebar, and the car drove out.

Before Chi Qian could sit down, she almost fell down before she had time, so she hurriedly grabbed Cao Xiuyan's back, and after stabilizing her balance, she hammered Cao Xiuyan's back hard, and said:

"Cao Xiuyan is going to die, I didn't sit still, you just drive. ”

Cao Xiuyan felt a little pain, and then felt a pair of hands coiled up on his waist, he stretched out a hand to pat the hands around his waist, and said, "Then sit tight, the old driver will take you to drag racing." ”

Chi Qian snorted, leaned her head lightly on his back, and did not speak.

The little electric donkey is still very powerful. In a few minutes, Cao Xiuyan sent Chi Qian downstairs to the girls' dormitory.

Chi Qian got out of the car and was about to say something to Cao Xiuyan, but was interrupted by Cao Xiuyan:

"Don't talk about it, go up there. I still have something to ask for. It's not convenient for your shoes of such height to go anywhere. I'll bring you a late-night snack in a moment. ”

Saying that, Cao Xiuyan turned the head of the car and galloped away.

Chi Qian was a little confused and a little angry.

How did he know he wanted to go with him for a supper? So he refused? What does it mean to bring himself a supper?

Cao Xiuyan, aren't you playing with me?

There was no Cao Xiuyan at the intersection, and the young man standing under the street lamp waiting for his girlfriend was a little lonely.

Chi Qian bit her silver teeth, turned around and stepped on her high heels and went upstairs.

......

Cao Xiuyan came to the library again, still in the same position, still in the original formula.

Spreading out the paper and taking out the pen, Cao Xiuyan began to study again.

Women or something, the most troublesome.

Isn't it fragrant to learn?

Cao Xiuyan is favored without fear.

After finishing his homework and reading notes, Cao Xiuyan stretched.

He suddenly remembered that when he was in high school, his teachers often told his students, "It's easy for you to go to college."

But when I actually went to college, I found that I was even more tired after going to college. It is said that there is no homework in every class in college, but it is not necessary to complete a course and an assignment in one semester in college.

How many people scratch their ears and cheeks with worry about the 3,000-word or 5,000-word course papers, and don't know how many hairs have fallen.

How many people are terrified all day long because of a final exam, and they stay up all night after night.

Cao Xiuyan glanced at his watch, half past nine.

After packing up his things, Cao Xiuyan walked out of the reading room with his schoolbag on his back.

Because the library is a cylindrical building with a low front and a high back, with a pond in the middle. Cao Xiuyan stood in the corridor on the fourth floor, overlooking the entire library.

The lights are bright, and the arrival is ushered in.

Cao Xiuyan looked at the building and couldn't help but think of a sentence:

If the dreams of this era are already wanted, then the last remnants must be hidden in the libraries of every university.

Each one.
