Chapter 116: Shelter
After solving the mysterious virus incident, I took a few days off, and although I promised the village chief not to reveal the secrets of Disi Village to outsiders, I still couldn't help but want to study the string of Buddhist beads that the village chief gave me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoFinally, the only thing I know for sure is that the material of the beads looks like ore, but it is actually an elixir made from many materials. As for the specific ingredients, it is unknown.
On this day, I habitually sat in my seat in a daze, and during the Chen Jun incident, I seemed to have become an existence that no one in the school dared to mess with. Except for Shi Xiaohui, no one sat next to me. Suddenly, I heard someone call me: "Zhang Shiyi, come with me." ā
When I came back to my senses, it was Teacher Chen from the Teaching Office, who got up and nodded to the teacher who was in class, and then removed the classroom. He came to Teacher Chen and asked, "Teacher Chen, is there anything wrong?" ā
Teacher Chen said with a serious face: "Follow me to the principal's office, and the principal will look for you." ā
Teacher Chen took me to the principal's office and left. When I saw that there was actually a woman in the office, I frowned, could it be that Chen Jun was looking for trouble again? He said, "Hello principal." ā
Lao Wang smiled and said, "Zhang Shiyi, this is Director He of the Municipal Education Bureau. ā
"The Education Bureau?" I was puzzled, but I still said respectfully, "Hello Director He." ā
Director He got up and looked at me for a moment, and asked, "You are Zhang Shiyi, right?" ā
I nodded and said, "Yes." ā
Director He took out a document and looked at it carefully, and then said, "I heard that you have a good memory, and you claim to be able to remember it?" ā
I didn't know what Director He meant by asking this question, so I frowned and didn't answer.
Director He told me not to speak, so he said, "You graduated from Yuying Middle School in Sancai City, right?" Your high school entrance examination score is the first in the city. ā
"Director He, I don't quite understand what you mean." I asked.
Director He looked at Lao Wang, and then said, "That's the case, I came this time to give you a test." When you've passed the test, we'll talk about something else. After speaking, Director He took out a stack of documents from his bag, picked one and handed it to me and said, "You take a look at this first, and you can remember as much as you can in a minute." ā
As soon as I took the paper, Director He said, "The timer begins." "I looked at the document carefully, and it was actually a page full of numbers, and I couldn't see any pattern, just a lot of numbers. I looked at Lao Wang, and Lao Wang's expression was a little nervous.
At this moment, Director He said, "Please concentrate on remembering." ā
I handed the document back to Director He and said, "I have already memorized it." ā
Director He looked at me with some astonishment, took the document and asked, "Then you start to memorize it." ā
I replied, "9898790383948923792309484820934923759709080789..."
When I was about to memorize more than 100 numbers, Director He motioned for me to stop, and then asked, "How many numbers are there?" ā
"2,987," I replied, thinking about it.
"Then you're looking at this document." With that, he handed me another document.
I took the paper, and the page was full of capital letters. After a while, I returned the document to Director He, nodded and said, "It's okay." ā
Director He took the document and asked, "What are the seventh letter of the seventh line, the third letter of the fifth line, the tenth letter of the second line, and the first letter of the eleventh line." ā
I replied, "q, u, a, x."
Director He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good." Then he said: "With a memory like yours, why didn't the Provincial Experimental Middle School recruit you?" ā
This is Lao Wang said with some dissatisfaction: "Director He, our Sancai City No. 1 High School is also a well-known key middle school in the province. ā
Director He said disapprerovingly: "Zhang Shiyi, this time I am looking for you to represent our city to participate in the provincial memory competition. ā
I wondered, "Memory tryouts?" ā
Director He nodded and said, "Officially introduce myself, I am He Qing, the director of the competition office of the Sancai City Education Bureau, and I am responsible for the organization of various competitions in the Sancai City education system. Originally, we didn't plan to send someone to participate in the document this time, but Deputy Director Chen asked me to come to you. ā
"Deputy Director Chen?" I asked, shaking my head.
"Oh, Deputy Director Chen is the principal of Yuying Middle School, and he was just promoted to the deputy director of our Education Bureau some time ago. This time, he highly recommends you. I also came to you with the mentality of trying. I didn't expect you to really have a good memory, and you should have no problem passing the tryouts. He Qing said with certainty.
Lao Wang on the side saw that I was noncommittal and added: "Zhang Shiyi, this time, as long as you pass the selection competition, you can go to Singapore to participate in the International Memory Competition, as long as you get the ranking, it will be good for you to take the college entrance examination in the future." ā
He Qing echoed: "Well, we plan to let you participate in the youth group under the age of twenty, you can rest assured, you want you to pass the provincial selection competition and go to Singapore to participate in the main competition, whether you get the ranking or not, the Municipal Education Bureau will give you a reward." ā
"Can I refuse?" I said.
He Qing looked at me with some surprise, and then looked at Lao Wang. Lao Wang smiled and said, "Director He, can you let me have a few words with my students in private?" ā
He Qing nodded and walked out of the office. Lao Wang handed me a cigarette and said, "Eleven, I know that with your family's background, I don't care about this. However, it is also about the collective honor of the school. ā
Seriously, the principal personally lit a cigarette for me, and I couldn't help but show such a big face, so I said, "Principal, I really don't want to participate." ā
Lao Wang continued: "Eleven, this time Chen Jun's matter is considered to be in the past, but the school still gives you a demerit punishment, as long as you make outstanding contributions, the school can revoke the punishment and not count it in your file." Besides, this time to go, it will take more than a month, you should go outside to avoid the limelight, do me a favor, and in the future, I will cover you in the school. ā
I know that this is the only reason for Lao Wang. Although I don't care too much, Lao Wang is right, it's better to go out and avoid the limelight. I nodded and said, "Principal, I can participate, but I can't guarantee that I will get a place." ā
Lao Wang said with confidence on his face: "Eleven, don't be too modest, just the few times you just made, it's not easy to ask for that term." Besides, the number of participants in the junior group under the age of 20 was originally small, but there were a total of 20 people in the last session, and the top eight will have medals, which is easy for you. ā
Lao Wang saw that I agreed, so he let He Qing in. He Qing said to me: "Don't have too much pressure, this is a good opportunity to express yourself and believe in yourself." ā
I smiled and said, "Thank you Director He for your concern, I will do my best." ā
He Qing nodded and said, "Well, the matter is settled, I'll go back and go through the formalities for you, and two days later, I will personally take you to the province to participate in the trials, you prepare well." ā
Lao Wang nodded and said, "Well, you can prepare well at home for the past two days, and you don't have to go to class." ā
I looked at Lao Wang a little speechlessly, I only took a week off, and I was given a vacation on the first day of class, so if it goes on, I may not be used to not coming to class.
