Chapter 774: Ambition Don't Just Show It
About ten minutes after the bell rang at the end of the exam, the two teachers who invigilated the exam confirmed that the number of answer sheets, test papers and scratch papers was correct, and they invariably glanced at Lin Miao, who was sitting in the position and did not move, and then strode out of the door with a little emotion of seeing a celebrity today.
Celebrities are celebrities, but apparently their own lives are more important.
As soon as the invigilator left, the children who took the exam also walked to the podium and took their school bags, and left the classroom in different moods. Those children who usually have a good level and perform well are already worried about their scores at this moment, and those who have high expectations for themselves but do not perform well are full of sadness and gloom, and they are relatively strong if they don't cry on the spot.
There are also some people who are average but enough to ensure the goal, and they will feel both relieved and stunned in their hearts, regretting that they can't be better; These children generally have nothing at home, no money and no way, so they can only swallow the bitter fruit of not studying well for three years in junior high school, and enter the society in advance in a daze.
As for those who have money at home, operate it a little, it is still easy to study for another three years of secondary school, and then come to a junior college for three years after finishing the secondary school, and you can upgrade to a college after graduating from a junior college, and then a working graduate student after graduating from a garbage bachelor's degree, no matter whether your stomach is grass or in the end, as long as you can take out the money, the education is marketized, which is to benefit the rich.
All in all, at this moment, the fate of each of the thirty or so exams in this classroom where Lin Miao was located had already been turned upside down with their scores and family environment. For one branch of the people, it is the gain, for the other part of the people, it is called the price, and for a small group of people, it is logical to accept the gift of fate.
For the third type of people who accept gifts, Lin Miao is still very envious. The congenital family has a lot of money, the mind is naΓ―ve and romantic, the life is carefree, and the second generation has a safe life. The days of pandas are not as chic as them, this is called the man of destiny......
Miao Ye sat in his seat for a long time without moving his buttocks, waiting for Wang Bin and Huang Qingqing to pick him up.
The child sitting in the front row of Lin Miao took his schoolbag from the podium, walked back and packed more than a dozen of his books, turned his head to look at Lin Miao, hesitated in the eyes of Lin Miao, and finally spoke: "Editor-in-chief Lin, can you sign for me?"
Editor-in-Chief Lin?
It's a very uncommon name......
Lin Miao stared at the kid for a long time, and he finished the fifth exam today, when he finally remembered it, he asked with a smile, "Your name is Huang Gaowei, right?"
"Do you know me?" Huang Gaowei suddenly looked happy.
Lin Miao smiled deeply and famously. But this year's score line has not yet come out, whether Huang Gaowei can enter Dongou Middle School depends on how well he performs in this exam.
After all, Huang Gaowei belongs to the "common people", unlike other first-prize winners with strong family backgrounds, in essence, he only has the qualifications to be "selected", and Dongou Middle School has every reason to ignore his qualifications.
But even so, Huang Gaowei, who has gone through half the back door, is much luckier than ordinary children. Of the 90,000 candidates in the city this year, only 1,200 were able to enter. Proportionally, it is only about 1.3%, and it must be one in a hundred.
Lin Miao thought back to her previous life, she had worked so hard, but she still hadn't done it......
Although Dongou Ergao is also okay, it is a grade worse after all.
"How did you do in the exam?" Lin Miao couldn't help but ask more.
Huang Gaowei smiled: "It's okay, there should still be a total score of more than 600 points." β
Lin Miao smiled.
Is it okay to score 600 points......
Okay, that's a good attitude.
Huang Gaowei saw that Lin Miao was gone, and hurriedly said: "Of course, there is no way to compare with a genius like you, most of us are still ordinary people, you should score more than 700 points in the test this time, right?"
"Hmm. Lin Miao nodded, "700 points is the bottom line of the bottom line, but I have to correct you, I wasn't born to take exams, do you believe it or not, the time I spent studying this year is at least two to three times as much as yours?"
Huang Gaowei paused slightly, and immediately said with relief: "Okay, anyway, no matter what, you are a genius in my heart." β
As he spoke, he took out a copy of "The Truth" from his schoolbag, handed it to Lin Miao and said, "I've been holding it back for three days, and I'm embarrassed to ask you for an autograph after the exam today." β
Lin Miao took the book, turned to the title page, and signed a name.
Huang Gaowei happily took back the autographed book, but he had no intention of leaving, and he was very excited when he had a rare opportunity to chat with celebrities, so he sat down again and asked Lin Miao: "Editor-in-chief Lin, I have something I want to ask you." β
Lin Miao said: "Say." β
Huang Gaowei seriously showed a little bit of color, and he couldn't resist not showing too much eyebrows, and said to Lin Miao in a consultative tone with a mature and steady tone: ""Red Miao" recently asked me to write a few short stories or essays, but in my own heart, I actually want to write a long story like "Notes on Demon Hunting", what do you think I can do better?"
Lin Miao stared at Huang Gaowei, and suddenly asked, "Do you think you will be able to be admitted to Hudan University in the future?"
Huang Gaowei was stunned, hesitated and asked, "These two things...... Is it related?"
Lin Miao said lightly: "The author of "Notes on Demon Hunting" is a student of Hudan University. I'm not saying that a person has to have a high degree of education to write, of course, people with a low degree can write, but if you want to learn things well, you must at least have a certain amount of accumulation. Reading a lot of books is a kind of accumulation, and having rich life experiences is also a kind of accumulation.
You have just graduated from junior high school this year, do you know what real life is like? How many things have you learned in books? Do you understand how high the sky is and how thick the earth is? How many people have you met, how many troubles have you encountered, and how many problems have you solved so far in your life? Up to this point in your life, if I guess correctly, at least 90% of all the books you have read are school textbooks, and the messy magazines such as "Story Club" do not count, and how many books have you read with more than 100,000 words, how many can you quote? From your birth to the present, I guess the biggest thing you have experienced is that first, you participated in the "Red Seedling" essay last year and won a prize, and second, you took the high school entrance examination this year, is there anything else?"
Huang Gaowei was stunned by Lin Miao's words.
Lin Miao sighed and said, "Children, be a man, be down-to-earth, don't be ambitious." What "Red Seedlings" allows you to write, it is that people know what you can write, and your current ability has come to this extent. What about the future, that's a matter of the future. You are now paying the manuscript fee for "Red Miao", and your manuscript fee is the highest among everyone, 50 yuan per thousand words. If you can write 2,000 words a week, it's thousands of dollars a year.
When you write a lot and your level improves, the long story will come naturally, so why do you have to be so anxious? If you don't write now, you won't be impatient with "Red Sprouts" in a few days, and you will just have no end in sight. As the saying goes, two birds in the forest are not as good as one bird in hand, don't be blinded by any messy dreams and ideals, you are not ideals and dreams, but your current ability does not match your ambitions.
Ambition should be kept in your heart, don't show it casually, otherwise you can't do it, and you will become a laughing stock in the blink of an eye. I'm pretty sure you're definitely not stupid, so you don't want to be laughed at by stupid people who aren't as good as you?......"
Speaking of which, Huang Qingqing and Wang Bin walked in from outside.
Lin Miao stopped and said, "Okay, I'll stop here." Today is also a shallow talk, you choose what road you want to take. β
Huang Qingqing and Wang Bin looked at Huang Gaowei, and Wang Bin helped pick up Lin Miao's exam bag.
Lin Miao got up and walked out: "Let's go, let's go, don't let my father-in-law wait." β
The three of them walked out of the classroom, and voices continued to come from the hallway.
"I'll be home tomorrow, did you tell my mom?"
"That's it. β
"Mr. Lin bought the publishing house. β
"Yo Sai~"
Huang Gaowei sat alone in the classroom, his mind full of Lin Miao's words just now.
After a long time, he clenched his fists tightly: "Grandma's! Can't I write together!?"
