When the alarm clock rang, Dong Yiqing was sleeping soundly. She fumbled for the alarm clock on the bedside table with one hand, grabbed it and slapped it hard. The alarm stopped suddenly. Although she was still too sleepy to open her eyes, she knew in her heart that now She has no right to sleep in.
A person's efficiency is usually related to his/her will. Thirty minutes later, she had finished taking a shower, had breakfast and lunch, and was sitting in a corner of the university library.
The materials given by Zhang Shuo were neatly stacked on the desk. After a night of hard work, she had already mastered half of the new words. While looking up the new words, she also read the article several times.
Through reading, Dong Yiqing found that the logic of these articles was not complicated. For example, the article she was flipping through related to the description of stone raw materials, which itself was illustrated in English, so after mastering the professional vocabulary, the difficulty dropped a lot.
But she still didn't dare to take it lightly. She wanted to get this job so much. She set a vibrating alarm for herself to remind herself not to forget the time for class in the afternoon, and then devoted herself to the translation of the materials.
After coming out of the driving school, Dong Qiangqiang went straight home. He cooked something for himself, and then started reading newspapers every day. In particular, he read the financial section of the newspaper more carefully than any other section. In this way, I not only improve my reading level, but also learn about the German stock market information. If I trade stocks by myself in the future, I will not be involved in lawsuits.
When he got tired of reading the newspaper, he switched to the simulation papers at the driving school. The simulation papers of German driving schools are very interesting. The correct answers are not printed on a piece of paper in the form of 1a, 2b, 3 to tell the answerers. Instead, a long paper is attached to the last page of each set of simulation papers. A narrow strip of paper with a small red triangle on it and some small square holes above and below the red triangle. At the same time, a red triangle of equal size is printed somewhere on each page of the simulation volume.
If you want to check the correct answer to a test question, just align the tip of the red triangle on the narrow strip of paper with the tip of the red triangle printed on each page of the simulation paper, so that the correct answer for each question on the page will be correct. Leaning on the ground appears in the holes of those small squares, and the positions of the red triangles printed on each page of the simulation paper are different. The person who answers the questions needs to use his hands to know the correct answer to each question, rather than copying it casually. During this hands-on process, learners may become more impressed with the test questions and answers. Dong Qiangqiang felt that although this method took time, it made learning knowledge more interesting. At the same time, it also made him feel that after spending so much thought on such an inconspicuous place, the Germanic nation does not seem to be as old-fashioned as the legend says.
The afternoon passed quickly. While making dinner, Dong Qiangqiang met the strong Max again.
Dong Qiangqiang knows that reading can be gradually improved by reading newspapers and books, but besides reading aloud, the best way to speak is to talk to native speakers.
But his relationship with Max seemed not as harmonious as with other people. Although Dong Qiangqiang didn't know what the crux of the problem was, he needed to find a way if he wanted to talk to each other.
He had tried to impress each other with delicious food before. After all, this trick had been tried and tested, and he had won over the landlady Sasha, the alcoholic brother, and even Lei Lanting in one fell swoop. However, Max seemed very indifferent to ancient oriental dishes, and he always ate them without hesitation. Eat your own whole wheat bread with strawberry jam and a bottle of German beer, sometimes called takeaway pizza. Dong Qiangqiang even once saw him in the kitchen happily cooking Indian curry rice, but turned a blind eye to the delicious food he carefully cooked.
As the old saying goes, rushing is not a business. Blindly catering will not increase the other person's good impression of you, and it may even be counterproductive.
While cooking, Dong Qiangqiang was thinking about ways to bring him and Max closer together. The Coke chicken wings in the wok were bubbling hot, and the aroma spread throughout the kitchen.
Max opened a bottle of beer, glanced at the chicken wings in the pot inadvertently, frowned and said: "Do you make such a fume every time you cook? I really can't understand the way you cook." After that, He shook his shoulders and walked slowly out of the kitchen.
When the phone buzzed, Dong Yiqing had already "killed" half of the new words in the remaining materials. The advantage of continuous fighting is that the short-term memory of the new words will become very impressive, so many words will be faced later. She has become less familiar with new words, and the further she goes, the more efficient she is at translating. Although the pressure is still high, at least it has improved a lot compared to last night.
She quickly packed her things and walked quickly towards the teaching building.
At 20:20 in the evening, Dong Qiangqiang arrived at the No. 22 station outside the train station ten minutes early. Before he had finished smoking a cigarette, he saw the silver van of an Eastern European man driving towards the station.
Dong Qiangqiang quickly put out the cigarette and threw it into the trash can. The van braked suddenly and stuck on the road outside the station. The car door was opened by the workers, and everyone filed into the car. Dong Qiangqiang was the last one in line. Just as he was raising his legs to get on the car, the Eastern European man looked ahead in the driver's seat and suddenly shouted: "Don't get in." car."
Dong Qiangqiang was stunned, holding his hand on the car door frame and asked: "What did you say?"
The Eastern European man seemed not to have heard what he said. He took two puffs of his cigarette, started the car, and motioned for the others to close the doors.
Dong Qiangqiang didn't know why, and watched helplessly as the side door was slowly being pulled shut. He quickly reached out and opened the door next to the passenger seat, and said loudly: "Why don't I get in the car?"
"Because you idiot has been fired." The Eastern European man sneered at him, "Now shut the fucking car door for me."
"Expelled? When?" Dong Qiangqiang became more puzzled, "Why did you expel me?"
"I told you to close the door!" the Eastern European man roared, "Don't you fucking understand German?" He rushed towards Dong Qiangqiang from the driver's seat and grabbed the door frame.
Although Dong Qiangqiang was also very angry, he did not want to have a direct physical conflict with the other party. He let go of his hand and the car door slammed shut.
The Eastern European man cursed and spoke in a language that Dong Qiangqiang did not understand. The minivan drove away in a hurry.
Dong Qiangqiang stood there for a long time, then got on the light rail in frustration. When he was still a few stops away from home, he received a call from Lei Lanting.
"Hey, old director, the foreman just told me that I don't have to go to the factory anymore, but I see everyone else is on the bus. I called a Bulgarian guy in the factory but no one answered. Maybe they don't have a good signal in the factory. Okay. Have you arrived at the factory? When you arrive, help me ask what's going on." Lei Lanting shouted angrily on the phone.
"My job...is gone too." Dong Qiangqiang whispered.
"What? Your job..." Lei Lanting was surprised on the phone, "Don't you have a work permit? What's going on? Are they not looking for people? But they didn't notify us last Friday. .”
"I don't know what's going on." Yu Jianghai's face suddenly appeared in Dong Qiangqiang's mind, and his heart moved, "I plan to go to the factory tomorrow morning to find out what's going on."
"Then what time do you plan to go tomorrow?" Lei Lanting took a breath, "If you want to go, I will go too, but I seem to have classes tomorrow, please wait for me to check..." There was a sound of turning papers on the phone. , "Well, I have a class at 13:30 tomorrow noon. What do you think about getting there at 9 o'clock?"
"I have no problem." Dong Qiangqiang thought in his mind.
"Okay, let's meet at the train station in the city center tomorrow. We can take bus 22 there and reverse once." Lei Lanting couldn't help complaining, "It's been so damn heavy lately. Hey... I'm so depressed. ”
"But I have a problem," Dong Qiangqiang hesitated, "I don't think I have signed a contract with an Eastern European man before."
"Damn it, I just remembered when you said that, I don't seem to have signed it either."
The light rail passed slowly between the buildings, and tiny sparks burst out from time to time on the rails. There was silence on the phone, neither of them spoke.
"Then...are you still going?" Lei Lanting said hesitantly.
"Go! Treat a dead horse like a living doctor." Dong Qiangqiang hung up the phone and looked out the car window. His mood went up and down along with the bumpy light rail. He didn't expect that a small temporary job would be so unstable.
But what worried him more was Yu Jianghai. I don’t know if he is causing trouble behind this.
Dong Yiqing didn't come out of the library until it was closed. It was almost midnight and there was no one on campus. She put on her schoolbag, got on her bicycle, and rode towards the student dormitory.
The shops on the street were all closed, so she bought another large bag of instant coffee from a convenience store when passing by a gas station.
She has already mastered all the new words and part of the content, and she can get all the materials after staying up one more night. Although these things are not easy to do, she is increasingly confident about Wednesday's interview.
The gentle night breeze caressed her cheek tenderly. Just as she was about to take a shortcut from the forest path back to her dormitory, she suddenly saw what seemed to be a beam of light from a flashlight swaying in the woods to her left.
She couldn't help but glance in the direction of the grove, but she didn't notice a raised stone on the ground. Just when she turned to look at the road again, the bicycle accurately hit the stone, and the car jolted, feeling a little dizzy. Dong Yiqing was unprepared and flew out of the car seat.
Her scalp and hands were all bruised, and the thick blood looked a bit scary. Fortunately, there were no branches or rocks nearby, so he was not seriously injured.
She lay in the grass for a while, and when she was about to get up, she suddenly heard footsteps coming towards her direction, and at the same time, there were voices.
Dong Yiqing suddenly remembered the incident of a girl being robbed near the university a year ago, and suddenly became alert. She didn't care to pick up the bicycle that was lying on the side with the pedals still spinning, and nimbly hid behind the tree nearest to her.
As soon as she hid her figure, a flashlight beam suddenly shot in her direction. Dong Yiqing's heartbeat became faster and faster. Through the mottled bushes, she saw that the student dormitory was less than two hundred meters away from her. meters distance.
At this moment, she suddenly heard a harsh German sentence: "There are bicycles here, people should not have gone far yet."
