13. By the sea
The two beauties were talking and laughing, and before they knew it, they were on the other side of the city, and when they saw that there were no buildings, they laughed again, and Ah Yan pulled over the car, and then said, "Look at me stupid, I should have asked Du Niang first." At the same time, she picked up her phone and got up. Lost the Chinese language training, jumped out of the unified are all training companies such as Shanmu and civil engineering, Ayan knew that these were all chain stores across the country, opened it and looked at it, the content was varied, dazzling, and countless, I felt that as long as it was training, except for excavators, it seemed that anything could be trained. So they turned around and went back to the center of the city, and according to Du Niang's guidance, they found a community with dense residences, and saw a big sign, Shanmu Training. The two people got out of the car, and according to the arrow, they went upstairs, and the door looked inconspicuous, but when they got to the second floor, it was very large, with rows of classrooms, which felt very formal, and more importantly, they could hear that every classroom was going on. Ah Yan felt that this place was reliable, so she gave Mr. Xia a look and asked her to wait outside and inquire in an office by herself.
"Teacher, you're trained here?"
"Yes, Miss, do you want to learn English?"
"No, Chinese."
"Ancient Chinese or modern Chinese, we have it all here."
"No, learn to speak Chinese."
"Girl," said the other impatiently, "you're not joking, are you?" β
"Don't you have one?"
"Yes, in Europe!" The other party dropped a sentence, and instead of saying the enthusiasm he had just entered the door, he closed the door all at once. Ah Yan scolded in her heart, what a thing!
walked over, pulled Mr. Xia and was about to go downstairs, just when a person came out of the house, but it was not the 'teacher' just now, another person, "Comrade," you know that it is an old hat when you hear this title, but you can be called comrade this year, but it is not an ordinary person, "Little comrade, you mean that foreigners learn to speak Chinese, right?" An aunt who looked to be in her fifties or sixties asked.
"Hmm." Ah Yan was angry just now, and she no longer had any hope for this place.
"Go out ahead, on the street, there is a Korean language school, you go there and ask!"
The aunt came out with them, and then entered the communication room, and Ah Yan took a look, and when she saw her sitting down to clean up the things on the table, she was sure that this aunt must be a janitor, and felt that she should be trusted. So I led Mr. Xia to walk to the street, and when I turned a corner, I really saw a sign with a language school hanging on it. Walking over, it was quiet, as if there was no one. Ah Yan was a little disappointed. I wanted to turn around and go back, but a young man came out of the communication room and politely asked, "How can I help you?" β
"You're a security guard?" Ah Yan didn't know how she could ask such a brainless question.
"Even if it's it!" The young man muttered.
"Is Chinese training here?" Ah Yan's tone is not very good.
"You're talking about foreigners learning Chinese, right?" The young man was smart because he saw the big chick behind Ah Yeon.
"Yes, yes," Ah Yan felt a little hopeful and enthusiastic.
"Come in and sit down and talk!" The young man led the way into the building, and the hallway was really quiet, except for the occasional sound of voice coming from the classroom.
"Sit down, what do you drink?" Tea, coffee, or mineral water? β
"Whatever!" Ayan said.
"If there's coffee, of course it's even better!" Mr. Xia said.
βOKοΌWait a mi
uteοΌ Just such a sentence made the two beauties drop their jaws in shock, and they didn't say the standard English pronunciation of the young man, but a gate post could understand English, wouldn't it be heavenly.
"Your coffee!" The young man came up with two cups of instant coffee, and the aroma filled the entire reception room at once.
"Drink, I'll give you a brief introduction to the situation here, just five minutes!" With the voice of the young man, the slide projector overhead turned on, and then the PPT was projected on the white wall opposite, introduced in English, and after five minutes, it automatically turned off.
"I don't know which subject you want to study?" The lad asked in English.
"Ah, basic conversations, crash course kinds." This time, without waiting for Ah Yan to speak, Mr. Xia took the lead.
The young man said, "Wait for me for a minute, and I'll check to see if I can transfer to another class." He went out, and the two cuties reached out their palms and struck each other, indicating that they had succeeded.
Soon the young man came back and brought a female teacher in professional attire, and when he entered the door, he smiled and asked, "I wonder which lady wants to learn Chinese?" β
Mr. Xia raised his right hand.
I heard the teacher say, "Director Zhang, you go and get busy, I'll receive you." The young man said goodbye and went out, and the two cuties were startled again, "Teacher, wasn't that the doorman just now?" β
"Our Dean of Education here. However, he also teaches classes, mainly for Japanese students. He came back from studying in Japan. β
"Oh my God, returnees. No wonder! Ah Yan couldn't help but speak. made the teacher and Mr. Xia look at her.
"So, if you transfer classes, I don't know when you can come to class?"
"Right now!" Mr. Xia replied.
"So, there are a total of 12 students in our class, all from English-speaking countries. But this lady is relatively young. If you don't have a little foundation in Chinese, you may need to make up for the homework you have learned one-on-one in advance, and I don't know how to arrange your time? β
"On weekends, I can work for two hours every night."
"Can you guarantee it? Once we have arranged a teacher, there will be a fee if you don't come. β
"Guaranteed. However, if you can't come to school due to unexpected circumstances, you can charge a fee. β
"Teacher, how much does it cost?" Ah Yan chimed in.
"Two thousand per semester, about forty class hours. It is almost two lessons per week. Most of them are weekends. However, for this student, because he has to make up the class and catch up with the progress as soon as possible, the fee may be higher. β
"That's fine."
"Okay then, I'll ask someone to go through the enrollment procedures for you, so that classes can be arranged from Monday onwards."
After completing all the formalities and paying the tuition, Mr. Xia was extremely happy, "Ayan, you say, what do you want to eat, I'll treat you!" β
"The treat is free, I'll take you to a place where you can eat, drink and have fun, just be sure you don't know."
"Really?" Mr. Xia is used to this ghost friend, and only from the beginning when she refused to be her secretary, she knew that she was a girl with personality. But now that I think about it, it's a good thing that I didn't work as a secretary, but I can become a real friend, and maybe even a girlfriend in the future.
When she came out of the school gate, Ah Yan secretly paid attention to the gate post, and found that the young man was still busy on the computer with his head down, so she pushed open the door and went in to say hello, and the young man stood up and asked, "It's all done?" β
Ah Yan didn't say whether it was done or not, but just emitted a trace of radio waves with her eyes, which was a reply. Instead, Mr. Xia said thank you.
got into the car, Mr. Xia asked, "Ayan, do you see people's 'door posts'?" β
"The devil will take a fancy to him, and he won't pull a few sour."
"Forget it, I guess I'm wrong."
The car drove south out of the city, and then passed a section of high-grade highway, about twenty or thirty kilometers, and gradually there were fewer buildings on both sides of the road, and then went further, there was a large area of woods, high and straight, like metasequoia, and I am not sure, there were many banana trees mixed in it. Some yurt-like buildings can be seen in the woods, and people can occasionally be seen coming in and out. The car drove to the gate, reduced the speed, the monitor on the railing head lit up, the railing automatically stood up, Ayan added the accelerator, and the car entered inside.
"What are you doing here?" Mr. Xia couldn't guess where. "Is it a Reso?
T? β
"That's right, don't you see it, the big signs in front of you, that's a lot of history."
Following the direction of the car, it seemed to be at the end of the road, two very large signs, red on a yellow background, with black square words inside. Almost every character is more than a few people tall, and if it is not blocked by the woods, it can be seen clearly even from a distance of several kilometers.
"Ayan, what does it mean on the sign?"
"Slogan!"
"What about the other one?"
"Haha, do you really want to learn Chinese, remember to pay tuition." After speaking, Ah Yan smiled mysteriously and said, "Mr. Xia, when you learn Chinese, come and see for yourself, you will find the big secret." β
Hearing that there was a big secret in it, Mr. Xia also became more interested, so he urged Ah Yan to explain the reason, but no matter how she said it, Ah Yan just laughed, but refused to say a word. The car drove for another ten minutes, and suddenly, the car got out of the forest and was faced with a clear blue sea. Seeing the sea, Mr. Xia was very excited, "I really didn't expect that our factory is so close to the sea, and I knew that I would come to see the sea on the first day." β
When the car stopped, the two beauties got out of the car, stood at the junction of the beach and the forest, looked at the endless sea water opposite, and suddenly felt how small they were. For about ten minutes, none of them spoke, just looked at the rippling blue waves of the sea.
"What do you want?" Ayan said.
"Homesick!"
"Is your home by the sea?"
"No, but it's less than a hundred kilometers from the sea."
"Far enough."
"It's less than an hour's drive."
"Is your sea so blue?"
"And blue."
"Are the waves big?"
"Great."
"Mr. Xia, what's wrong with you?"
"I was really homesick. I miss my mom and dad so much. I don't know if they're thinking about me at this moment. β
"Parents all over the world are the same, that is, when you go to the edge of the sky, your parents will be worried."
After being silent for a while, Ah Yan saw that Mr. Xia came back to her senses, so she asked, "Look, I guarantee that your beach there is not so long?" β
"Well, it is. However, the sand on our beach is white, and it is soft and fluffy to walk on barefoot, which is very comfortable. β
"But the beach here is not soft, you can drive on it!"
"Really?"
"Get in the car and you'll know!"
The car drove onto the beach, Ayan increased his horsepower, and the car ran along the coastline at high speed, and it took a few minutes to slow down. She also found it amazing.
"You know there's a nice name here!"
"What?"
"The first beach in the universe!"
"I don't like it. I've been here for almost half a month, and I've heard a lot of people say that they are the first, and even Mr. Fan said that he should also be the first. I don't like this statement very much. β
"Haha, Mr. Xia, it seems that you need to adjust your mentality and adapt to the culture here. Here, everything has to be the first. Children should strive for the first place when they go to kindergarten, and when they go to school, they must also strive for the first place. You need to be the first to work, and you need to be the first to live. No matter where you go, everyone is competing to be the first. You don't see that training school, which claims to be the number one in Asia. β
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if the first is the first or not. Some people say they are number one, and that's because they haven't been outside and don't know how big the whole world is. Let's just say that the beach in front of me is not big, it is indeed very big and very long, but I believe that there may be longer beaches in the world, but people don't know. Even before I came, I didn't know there was such a first. β
"You have a point. But I was born and raised in Sri Lanka, and this cultural gene already flows in my blood. I can't say that it was passed down from my ancestors, or it was born, but I am competitive in everything I do from the bottom of my heart. β
"Ayan, do you know the result of this? It is to kill chickens and take eggs, without a long-term vision. What about the first, what can you say that you Ayan is the first in the universe? Ayan, you are still Ayan, should you go to work or go to work, should you have no boyfriend or no boyfriend, right? β
"I won't tell you, you're all crooked. I can't talk about you. Let's go, go down and dive! β
"No, not today." Mr. Xia pointed to his stomach, and Ah Yan understood what was going on, so he said, "Okay, let's go enjoy the special scenery!" β
Ah Yan parked her car in a large parking lot, but there were a lot of luxury cars parked inside. The two girls came down and walked to the yurt in the woods, and from afar they saw some people in swimsuits.
"How did you get it?"
"I really didn't mean to. I didn't expect the layout to change! β
So she grabbed Ah Yan's arm and asked softly, "Have you been here?" "That couldn't be clearer.
Ah Yan turned around with a fist, although it was a joke, but it still startled Mr. Xia. "You've only been here. Didn't I want to open your eyes! β
"What is this, my boyfriend and I have been to see what a show! Do you know what reality TV means? β
Hearing Mr. Xia say the reality show, Ah Yan's face turned red to the base of her neck. Although she has had a boyfriend, she has not yet reached the point where she sleeps with her classmates, and when it comes to the horizon, she just hugs and hugs, and she can't kiss two people, although she also had that kind of passion, wanting to break the taboo and taste the most secret forbidden fruit of mankind, but her boyfriend loves her too much and doesn't want to make Ayan a woman before she gets married. However, now that Ah Yan thinks about it, she regrets that if she had given it to him, she would have been his woman, at least for the first time. But now that the world is separated, no matter how much you think about it, it's just a fantasy.
After walking around, I can be regarded as seeing the true meaning of being the first on the earth. However, for Mr. Xia, it seems that this is taking off his pants and farting, one more thing. As for sex, she did not feel that there was anything mysterious at a very young age, and like eating, it was a necessary function of human beings. Parents and teachers also taught them not to get pregnant, which would harm their bodies, but they did not ask them to abstain from sexual intercourse. In fact, no one can ask for anyone.
"Let's go, I'm starving!"
"Well, there's a specialty restaurant up ahead."
βSexual ca
tee
οΌ Mr. Xia joked.
"Go, Tujia cuisine, you are satisfied!"
After rounding the road and coming out of the woods, I came to a village, where there were many small restaurants, very lively, in broad daylight, and it looked similar to the pedestrian street last night. They picked a small family, went in cleanly and sat down, first served tea and let them drink, and soon someone came to take them over to order. Mr. Xia didn't understand, because in her impression, ordering food was all about looking at the menu, but it was different here, Ah Yan pulled her, went to the front hall, and ordered chicken and fish, all alive. Then in front of them, the chickens were slaughtered and the fish were peeled, and the two girls were a little scared, so they covered their eyes and ran back to their booths.
"That's the feature!?" Mr. Xia asked.
"That's right."
"I don't know if I don't see it, but I think human beings are really cruel."
"Cruelty, don't you ever eat pork, chicken, or fish?"
"Of course I ate it, but I still feel sad to see these living animals being killed in an instant and becoming a delicacy on our human table."
"Hypocrisy, huh?"
At this time, Mr. Xia's mobile phone rang, and when she took it out, she saw that it was Director Guo calling, and she wondered if this personnel director was just a weekend? But he still answered, "Hey, Director Guo, is there something wrong?" β
"Mr. Xia, in this way, I met a lot of applicants in the morning, and a few of them are not bad, I just want to ask you if you have time tomorrow to arrange for them to come over for an interview."
"If you have time, then tomorrow. But, Director Guo, don't you have to spend the weekend? β
"It's okay, I'll solve the translation and secretary problems you need first, and I don't have to worry so much."
"Okay!"
After receiving the line, Mr. Xia said, "How can you still work on weekends?" β
"It's normal, it's our instinct to work overtime on weekends just like you said. Here, the competition is fierce, and besides, we are hundreds of years behind, and we need to catch up as soon as possible, if we don't have a bit of a desperate spirit, can we catch up? Don't you just want to learn Chinese quickly and work overtime, it's the same reason. β
Unexpectedly, this Ah Yan used herself as an example, which made Mr. Xia speechless. However, she suddenly felt that she was indeed a little hypocritical, looking at Ah Yan was so real, and she was not pretentious at all.
