We chatted with Bai Mangmang until we got on the high-speed train and the train entered Nanhu Province, and then we ended our chat.
Li Shi looked at the night-shrouded fields outside the window, passing by at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, and felt the excitement of driving too fast.
He opened the Qidian app, clicked on her 80,000-word book, and quickly read through it.
Her writing is very concise, with 2,000 words per chapter, and a total of 80,000 words, only 40 chapters. Except for some key chapters, other chapters can be read in 20 seconds.
Ten minutes later, Li Shi looked at the previous chat history again, put down his phone again, and felt a little emotional.
Teacher Bai is definitely a precious mine waiting to be mined.
And it’s still a rich mine!
…
Beihu Province and Nanhu Province are close neighbors. From Jiangcheng, the capital of Beihu Province, to Tanzhou, the capital of Nanhu Province, today's Fuxing High-speed Railway only takes one and a half hours.
However, from Tanzhou High-speed Railway Station to Phoenix Bay, one is in the south of the city and the other is in the northwest of the city. It usually takes about 40 minutes if there is no traffic jam. If the traffic is slightly congested, it will take 50 to 60 minutes.
When Li Shi arrived home, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
Open the windows for ventilation and do a little cleaning.
After taking a shower, I came out of the bathroom and found an unexpected message on my phone.
It was sent by Liu Zhengdong, a college classmate.
“Old classmate, you can still use WeChat to collect payments, okay?”
Li Shi thought to himself, is he going to pay himself back?
He replied: "WeChat is fine, but if you are tight on money, you will be fine in the future."
Liu Zhengdong: "Thank you! I'd better return it to you first. My royalties have increased recently, which is enough to cover my expenses."
Then came a transfer message, two thousand, with the note: pay back the money.
Li Shi clicked to accept, and then asked: "How is your recovery going?"
Liu Zhengdong: "I'm recovering well. By the way, I agreed to invite you to have a dinner together last time, but then I went to check up on my health and missed the appointment. Do you have time tonight for a late-night snack?"
Li Shi happened to not have dinner yet, so he thought he might as well meet his old classmates.
"OK."
An hour later, Li Shi drove his Bentley Flying Spur, which had been gathering dust in the garage for more than half a month, to Jiangjialong Community in Fukai District.
After parking the car, I got out of the car and saw Liu Zhengdong standing on the roadside walking over.
Li Shi said hello and asked, "Is it okay if the car is parked on the side of the road?"
"There is nothing wrong with this kind of community. They park on the roadside and there is no other place to park." Liu Zhengdong looked at the black car in front of him and thought he had seen it wrong. He took a few steps to the front and looked at the car logo and said in surprise. , "Old classmate, you're already living in a big Bentley? You're so awesome!"
Li Shi did not pretend to be humble or anything, but said in a normal tone: "Good luck, I made some money in business."
"Being able to drive this car means you've earned more than just this little money. I didn't expect that among our classmates, you were the one who made the quickest fortune... But also, when you were studying, although you didn't speak much, your ability was always They are all quite strong, and as long as you are given a chance, success is normal.”
Liu Zhengdong sighed with emotion, took Li Shi's arm and said, "Come on, I've already ordered the food. Let's catch up on old times tonight."
Li Shi couldn't help but look at him in surprise, thinking that after entering society, everyone has changed so much. Even Liu Zhengdong, the rich second generation who used to be "talkative" in school, has now become more articulate.
The two walked into the "Er Mao Night Snack Shop" on the roadside.
As soon as we sat down, the male boss brought us a plate of mutton kebabs sprinkled with cumin and chopped green onions, which smelled quite fragrant.
Liu Zhengdong first asked Li Shi if he wanted to drink. After learning that he did not drink while driving, he poured himself a glass of beer and poured Li Shi a glass of orange juice.
"It has been a few years since I graduated, and this is the first time I have eaten face to face with my old classmates. Thank you for what happened last time. Brother, I give you a toast!"
Li Shi also raised his cup: "We are all old classmates, as we should."
After a brief contact, he found that Liu Zhengdong had indeed changed a lot. His appearance had not changed much, but his personality seemed to be a different person.
After we chatted, we found out that he had failed the civil service examination after graduation, so he took some money from his parents to start his own business. However, the economic situation in the past two years was not good, and the industry he was working in was even worse, so he threw away his entrepreneurial capital. If you enter without a splash, you will go bankrupt.
"Originally, I didn't have to borrow two thousand yuan from you. The main reason is that I had a falling out with my parents again and came to Tanzhou alone." Liu Zhengdong picked up a bunch of mutton fiercely. He chewed it big and swallowed it, then said, "Oh, this is not like reaching out to the family, and you have to rely on yourself, then you realize that this money is really hard to make!"
Li Shi nodded but said nothing.
He has known since he was a child that money is hard to make, and there is really nothing to say about it.
When these old classmates are together, it is inevitable to talk about things and people from back then.
The two chatted while eating and drank several glasses of wine in a row. Liu Zhengdong became more talkative and suddenly said: "Do you remember Gao Meimei? She is the girl from the School of Journalism and Communication that I chased."
Li Shi had no impression at first, but after being reminded like this, he remembered that Liu Zhengdong was indeed pursuing a very beautiful girl from another department. It seemed that all the boys in the dormitory knew about it and even made fun of her.
Later, I seemed to have seen him during a social gathering. I don’t remember the specific appearance. I just remember that he was really good-looking and was the focus of the social gathering.
Many people said that she was the school beauty of their generation.
Li Shi thought about it carefully. He had met her once before, and there were many people together. He really couldn't remember what she looked like specifically, but he didn't care at all. In terms of beauty, Chen Qiuye was at least at the provincial level.
He took a sip of his drink and said, "What's wrong?"
"During the Chinese New Year this year, she took the initiative to contact me and said that she was going to open a company that shoots short videos and short plays, and asked me if I wanted to invest... Fuck, if she had told me before I started my business, I would have just taken it That money was invested, but now I don’t have enough to eat, and my parents have no way of making money, so I can only look at the plum blossoms to quench my thirst.”
"What a shame! What if...forget it, let's not talk about her anymore."
Li Shi looked at Liu Zhengdong, who had an expression of "righteous indignation", but did not answer.
It can be seen that he is living a somewhat depressed life now.
…
At eleven o'clock, the two came out of the store. Li Shi looked at Liu Zhengdong, who had drank three bottles of beer, and asked, "Where do you live? Can I see you off?"
Liu Zhengdong waved his hand: "No, I live nearby. Alas, the reception was not good today. You wait until I become a great Internet writer, or I go back to inherit the family property in the future. Then Juebi will invite you to the best club in Tanzhou, called a room." The princess is here to entertain you.”
Li Shi smiled and was about to say goodbye when Liu Zhengdong spoke again.
He pointed to the driveway: "Brother, you are so strong now. I told you about Gao Meimei before. Do you want to consider investing in it? The short drama market is very popular now, and Gao Meimei is also very capable. I can help you. Matchmaking."
Li Shi refused without thinking: "No, I'm not interested in this."
Liu Zhengdong said disappointedly: "That's a pity."
On the way back, Li Shi received two messages before he drove the car across the river.
He didn't look at it while driving. When he arrived at Phoenix Bay, he parked the car in the garage and picked up his phone.
The message was sent by Liu Zhengdong:
"Brother, please think about Gao Meimei again. I think it is really a good investment opportunity."
"In this case, I will push your WeChat to her, and you can add her as a friend to chat."
The hot Internet word "dog licking" immediately came to Li Shi's mind, and he couldn't help but frown.
I have clearly rejected it.
This old classmate is still ignorant and has no sense of propriety in his actions.
He shook his head slightly, did not reply, and got out of the car with his cell phone - forget it, it is better to contact and talk to this person less in the future.
When I got home, I took another shower, then went to the study room and moved the set of reference books for the Teaching Qualification Examination from the bookcase to the desk.
Li Shi applied for high school art and took three written exams: "Comprehensive Quality" (Middle School), "Educational Knowledge and Ability", and "Art Subject Knowledge and Teaching Ability".
"There are only three subjects, and a lot of the knowledge has been learned before. I will go through all the syllabus tonight, and tomorrow morning I will do the real questions to get a feel for the difficulty of the exam, and then study according to the syllabus. I will try to win it in ten days!"
Li Shi's learning ability has now reached a certain level.
Speaking of which, in many learning projects nowadays, the efficiency of self-study may be higher than that of attending training classes or finding teachers to attend classes!
For example, he was studying the three subjects of the Art Teaching Qualification Examination. He quickly straightened out the knowledge context of each subject based on the outline and established a context map in his mind——
"Comprehensive Quality": [Educational Views, Student Views, Teacher Views] - [Professional Ethics] - [Laws and Regulations] - [Reading Comprehension, Writing]
"Educational Knowledge and Abilities": [Basic Knowledge of Education] - [Course Overview] - [Teaching] - [Learning Psychology, Development Psychology, and Psychological Counseling of Middle School Students] - [Moral Education] - [Class Management and Teacher Psychology] - [Identification of Special and Materials Analysis】
"Art Subject Knowledge and Teaching Ability": [Chinese Art History] - [Foreign Art History] - [Art Categories and Fundamentals] - [High School Curriculum Standards] - [Teaching Design and Case Analysis]
…
By comparing the context diagram, he instantly knew which part was supplementary learning and which part was key learning.
For example, in "Art Subject Knowledge and Teaching Ability", [Chinese and Foreign Art History, Art Categories and Fundamentals] is supplementary learning, and you only need to go through it once, while [High School Curriculum Standards and Teaching Design, Case Analysis] is key learning and requires multiple uses. thought.
After sorting out the outline, he felt that there was still time. It was only twelve o'clock in the morning, so he found a set of last year's exam questions and tried to do it.
"Eh~"
"It seems pretty simple."
Li Shi answered the questions quickly.
He was quick in thinking and very fast in writing. He had three sets of test papers ready before two o'clock.
Looking at the reference answers, Li Shi began to judge the scores, and then converted with the examination center to a full score of 120 points.
Looking at the three scores at the end, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Overall quality: 76
Education knowledge: 63
Fine Arts Subject: 98
Two of the three exams directly exceeded the passing mark of 72 points!
Li Shi laughed. When he was doing the questions, he clearly felt that the knowledge he had learned before played a role in this exam.
Especially in the "art subject", I even answered the teaching design questions very well. The teaching brief I compiled based on a painting for the first time was also meaningful. Compared with the reference answers, I was able to get more than half of this question. score.
"Sure enough, the knowledge I have learned and the abilities I have gained will not let me down!"
"Go through the reference books and you should be able to get a big increase in your scores in each subject. This teaching qualification exam is stress-free!"
…
In the afternoon of the next day, Li Shi was reading in the study when Wu Yuan sent a message.
"Teacher Li, I feel like the results of my recent body sculpting are showing. I just finished training and took a photo, and I found that my figure has changed a bit! (smirking)"
This woman has been busy developing her career in Shanghai before and after. In Shanghai, for the sake of convenience, she made an important connection and has been accompanying the lady to keep fit.
A smile appeared on the corner of Li Shi's mouth, and he held the mobile phone in his left hand and typed with one hand: "Then what are you waiting for? Picture, understand?"
This woman knows how to cooperate best.
Every time Li Shi made a look or a gesture, she knew exactly what posture to pose... to coordinate with the photo.
And her hand speed is as fast as ever.
"Yes, yes, I will give the photo to the eldest master now! (Shy) (Shy)"
Photos were sent shortly afterwards.
Li Shi clicked on the full screen, and saw that in the photo Wu Yuan was wearing a tube top and a white cardigan, paired with black waist-cinching hot pants. The cardigan was very tight and short, with a large curve, revealing a small waist, with almost no waist. Fat.
Look at the beautiful legs under the hot pants, they are like white jade ivory, forming a perfect and graceful curve with the waist.
With just one glance, he, who had taken many photos of Wu Yuan, could immediately see the changes in her figure.
"I've lost weight and my waist is slimmer."
"There is a clothing section here, and I don't know if it is too small where it should be small, or not where it should be small."
With an artistic attitude, Li Shi developed a curiosity about beautiful things, but from a scientific perspective, true knowledge comes from practice, well...
He pondered for a moment and then typed: "Ms. Wu, I forgot to tell you. I went back to Tanzhou last night and will be in Phoenix Bay."
A "Ms. Wu" has profound meaning.
Wu Yuan, who was far away in Shanghai, understood the idea and immediately said: "Then I will go back to Tanzhou this afternoon to wish you a happy old age, Mr. Li. By the way, I want you to help me check the results of my recent fitness training and see how they are photographed. Wouldn’t the photos look better? (呑ya)”
The smile on Li Shi's lips became fuller and he said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
After more than half a month of studying abroad, coming and going alone, he resisted the temptation of chaos and immersed himself in learning, which made him more creative in taking pictures.
Feeling the surge in his body and mind, Li Shi added another sentence: "I will take a few more sets of pictures for you this time."
This time, it took three or four minutes for Wu Yuan's message to come through.
"I just called my assistant to give instructions about work and buying a plane ticket...do you want me to bring more clothes? (Shame)"
Li Shi Wan'er was about to reply when a friend request popped up on WeChat. The note was: Hello, I am Gao Meimei, introduced by Liu Zhengdong. (End of chapter)
