Chapter 12: Job Selection
Time flies by.
The day for Lin Yuan to join the company soon came.
The first thing Lin Yuan did when entering the selection process was to select the students for the gold medal class.
Yan Ziyou and another student tied for eighth, so Lin Yuan naturally brushed him off.
Not just because of Tian Yulan.
Yan Ziyou’s roll noodles are not dominant either.
Another student solved the last two difficult questions, but he miscalculated the previous questions due to carelessness. On the other hand, Yan Ziyou solved the last two questions consecutively. There is no idea for the question.
He carefully checked the list of students he had compiled, and after confirming it was correct, handed it to Manager Cui.
After contacting the students’ parents one by one, Lin Yuan’s gold medal class will officially start.
…
The other side.
Tian Yulan was very annoyed when she was tricked by Nan Li at work.
She returned home with heavy steps. When she opened the door, she saw Yan Ziyou playing with his broken ants again. She shouted angrily: "Have you finished your homework? You are playing there before you finish it. Huh? I spent all the pocket money I gave you on those disgusting things, and you still treat them as treasures. Will you be able to get into Hanlin sooner or later if you play with these things? I threw it all away for you one day. Such a grown-up person has no sense of self-consciousness at all.”
Listening to the nagging accusations from her mother, a trace of fear and grievance flashed across Yan Ziyou’s face. Dare to reply weakly: "There are not many homeworks today. I only copy the No. 1 book and correct the No. 2 book."
Tian Yulan frowned, her expression full of seriousness, and said: "What about the extracurricular homework? Show me the number selection Olympiad homework."
Yan Ziyou explained: "Today's number selection points The class test results came out, but the teacher didn’t leave any homework.”
His voice was a little worried, as if he was worried that his mother would be angry because there was no homework.
When Tian Yulan heard this, she immediately asked: "How did you do in the exam?"
Her eyes were full of expectation, and her body leaned forward unconsciously.
"I tied for eighth with another classmate." Yan Ziyou replied softly, with a hint of uneasiness in his tone. He didn't know whether his mother would be satisfied with this result.
"Really? Then it will be no problem to get into the gold medal class!" Tian Yulan's face instantly burst into surprise. She held up Yan Ziyou's chubby face and said excitedly: " Son, if you enter the gold medal class, you will have hope for the number cup.”
After all, there were ten places in the gold medal class in the past. In her opinion, with Yan Ziyou’s tie for eighth place, It should be very stable.
Tian Yulan did not know at this time that there were only eight places in the gold medal class. The teacher of the gold medal class was Lin Yuan, and she was still immersed in joy.
She couldn't help but kissed her son's fat face and said to herself: "I knew my son would be fine. He is smart, obedient, hard-working, and so handsome. . Don’t do your homework, let’s play for a while.”
At this time, Yan Ziyou's eyes flashed with light, and he asked expectantly: "Mom, can I go down and play football for a while?"
Tian Yulan ignored his son's wish and decisively refused. Said: "Forget it about playing football, it will make you sweat all over your body. When you come back, I can’t calm down, so I have to memorize vocabulary before going to bed. Just read some extracurricular books or watch TV.” The light of hope was instantly extinguished, replaced by a hint of despair.
He doesn't understand why he can't always do what he wants to do, and why his mother always has to control his life so strictly.
……
At the family dinner invited by Nan Jianlong on Friday, Nan Li's family and Tian Yulan's family got together again. Nan Jianlong is Nan Li's father. He resolutely divorced his ex-wife Zhao Na on the eve of Nan Li's college entrance examination.
Not long after the divorce, Nan Jianlong quickly married Cai Juying.
Since then, Tian Yulan has followed her mother Cai Juying into Nan Jianlong's home.
It is precisely because of this reorganization of the family that the relationship between Nan Li and Tian Yulan has never been harmonious.
Only because of the relationship between their parents, they had to gather at the same table to eat together.
Every time there is a gathering at Nan Jianlong's house, Cai Juying is busy serving tea and water, and she never has a moment to spare.
Nan Jianlong and Nan Li's family were leisurely tasting tea, chatting, and waiting to eat the ready-made food.
This made Tian Yulan, who felt sorry for her mother, even more unhappy.
Especially this time, Cai Juying was scolded by Nan Jianlong like a child because she accidentally spilled the tea while pouring it. Nan Li just looked at her coldly, with a trace of disdain on her lips.
Nan Li's subtle expression hurt Tian Yulan even more.
Thinking of how Nan Li had put things in the way of her children's studies and her own work in recent days, she made up her mind to regain some ground in her children's studies.
“Actually, I didn’t have high hopes at all. Think about it. Dozens of children with excellent grades take the exam together, and the gold medal class only accepts ten students. They are all the best among the best. , I didn’t expect this kid to do well in the exam, ranking eighth, what a blessing.”
"This Mathematical Olympiad is about logical thinking. Children who can get into the gold medal class are all smart. If your intelligence is just a little bit lacking, you won't be able to keep up."< br>
Tian Yulan began to proudly show off Yan Ziyou’s test results.
Yan Peng reminded in a low voice: "That's almost it."
"That's great, Ziyou. When you get into the gold medal class, grandpa will buy you the gift you want most." Nan Jianlong complimented casually Then he pointed to the tea cup in front of him and changed the topic: "This tea is not ordinary. It is fried using traditional techniques. The taste is great." It’s different, you all are fine.”
Seeing that the topic was changed, Tian Yulan was not annoyed. After a slight pause, she continued to ask: “What class did Huanhuan sign up for outside?”
For so many years, the only thing that can beat Nan Li is her child's academic performance. She will not miss this opportunity.
Xia Junshan had no choice but to reply: "We signed up for a vocal class and hosted an extracurricular tutoring class. Huanhuan said that when we grow up, we want to be a singer and a host."
Tian Yulan threw cold water at the right time: "This kid's ideas are naive. The path of literature and art is much more difficult than studying. The admission threshold for art schools is so high every year. Even if you are lucky enough to get in, who can really become famous? How many.”
Tian Yulan’s words were like a basin of cold water, instantly making the atmosphere awkward.
On the surface, it was Xia Huanhuan who was being ironic, but in fact, he was belittling Xia Junshan and Nan Li.
Nan Li sat there, without raising her head, still turning the pages of the book, and said lightly: "As long as she likes it, there is no expectation that she will become famous and have a family. Besides, people can find what they love and do it. Working hard for a lifetime is very rare in itself."
Tian Yulan looked full of concern and pretended to be kind: "Nan Li, are you really not going to sign up for the Mathematical Olympiad?"
Nan Li replied without hesitation: "We are sailing, and we are not studying for the Hanlin Academy. Why apply for the Mathematical Olympiad?"
"It is also helpful for daily study! You can even apply for one for your children. What about the advanced class?" Tian Yulan saw this and said in a more serious tone, "It's okay to be the last in the exam like this."
Thank you for the monthly vote from Po Jianzhi Kong!
