A year older, the third master of Beijing circle kissed her to tears

Chapter 444: Unperturbed by Honor or Disgrace, Calm and Composure

The old man in the family is right, when a man strives for his career, he should fight for his life!

But when you get married and start a family, you should focus more on this matter.

The time when Zhuang Zhoucheng was busy with work was over. Now, couldn’t he stop and catch a woman?

If he doesn't pay attention to her, this rare woman he has met will probably belong to someone else.

Huo Yan arrived in Hong Kong and was assigned to a unified accommodation, where he lived in a room according to the rearranged contestant numbers.

The finals lasted three days and included six events: oral communication, bilingual interpretation, scenario simulation, debate, quiz and talent development.

Several events require on-the-spot performance, which is quite different from the regular competitions in Kyoto. The competitions are more comprehensive and flexible.

With a schedule like this, there is no way to do the pre-match preparation and review in Chinese education.

Because there was no way to prepare, no one knew what questions the examiner would ask and in what form, which caused a large number of domestic contestants to panic.

There was no way to adapt. I only had one day left, and the finals would be on the 25th. Pre-training was impossible, so I had to leave it to fate.

After learning about the competition schedule, all the contestants returned to their assigned rooms with serious expressions.

It was a standard room for two people, and the person she lived with was a Burmese. According to her Burmese friends, she was the only Burmese among all the contestants, but she had made a lot of friends in the past half day and said she wanted to introduce them to Huo Yan.

Of course Huo Yan was happy. Actually, Huo Yan was not good at socializing, but when he thought about the competition the day after tomorrow, he treated making friends as practice.

The Burmese friend was really enthusiastic. In a short time, he invited all the friends he knew to come over. They were all international friends, which made Huo Yan a little excited.

She is just a country girl. How could she have made any international friends?

Even if I don’t get any ranking this time, it’s worth it because it broadens my horizons.

My Burmese friend said he likes Country Z and has always wanted to travel here, but he hasn't saved enough money so it has never happened. This time he's here, he must take the opportunity to have a good time.

Huo Yan was very interested in traveling and introduced some places worth visiting in Country Z.

Several other friends were also surprised that Huo Yan was a girl from Country Z. Although the finals were held in Hong Kong in Country Z, there were not many contestants from Country Z, only twenty-two in total, which was less than one-fifth of the total number of contestants in the finals.

A Vietnamese friend asked Huo Yan if he knew the Great Wall.

Huo Yan nodded, and her Vietnamese friend immediately grabbed Huo Yan's hand excitedly, asking Huo Yan to take her there tomorrow. She also wanted to see the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, which was said to be very spectacular. Jackie Chan made a movie called "The Myth", which was about the story at that time, blah blah...

Huo Yantou was confused. They were learning and speaking English, so why couldn't she understand?

Urgent!

I gritted my teeth secretly:

Why are there no subtitles? Subtitles!

Bad review!

She doesn’t understand!

I picked out a few answers that I understood and ignored the ones I didn't understand.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, my dear friend. The Great Wall is in Beijing, thousands of miles away from here, and the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is in Xi'an. Traveling there by train would take at least two days, but taking the high-speed rail saves twice as much time. If you want to visit these places, you can add them to your next travel plans. We only have one day tomorrow, so we should focus on preparing for the competition."

The foreigners had a really good attitude. When they heard Huo Yan say that she would have to prepare for the competition all day tomorrow, they looked at her in surprise and couldn't understand.

Huo Yan asked them what they would do, and they just said, "Why not just rehearse a real-life scenario?"

"At this stage in a competition like this, the organizers are no longer picking students with good grades. Just giving the most honest answers is half the battle."

This was said by a Burmese friend.

Huo Yan thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense.

After going through layers of screening, those who made it to the finals were naturally the best of the best. All the necessary tests had already been completed.

The so-called finals is actually the organizers selecting people.

The judging criteria for talented and talented candidates are not consistent, which makes it impossible for them to please every judge.

The most important thing for the contestants sent here is to be true to themselves.

Huo Yan is a person who is easily influenced by others. If the people around her are optimistic, she will also become optimistic. The environment influences and shapes people.

The competition went on smoothly, thanks to Teacher Qihe who had taught her oral English before. She successfully taught her what it meant to be calm and composed, and what it meant to look up and smile.

The live Q&A session was actually an interview, and Huo Yan completely believed it when he sat on the chair.

Another important purpose of the final to determine the champion is for the interviewers to personally select students who are more suitable for training.

Why did you choose to participate in the competition? This is a question that almost every contestant will be asked.

Huo Yan's answer was:

"I want to study abroad."

A firm answer without any hesitation, this was her truest thought.

Huo Yan answered almost all the questions quickly, and the truth was definitely in the affirmative.

But it was so realistic that some judges seemed to express disdain. This girl is too realistic. If many of her answers had been more tactful, her scores would have been more optimistic.

"You don't have what it takes to be a J.H. student..."

The on-site judges tore up Huo Yan's entry materials and threw them on the ground:

"Take your information and leave."

The judge didn't look up and continued to look at the next contestant's information.

Huo Yan was still smiling, unperturbed by fame or disgrace, calm and composed, looking up and smiling.

Two hundred contestants outside could see this scene through the screen. Doesn't this count as an international embarrassment?

It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter. You’ve gained something by coming here. It’s broadened your horizons, hasn’t it?

"I apologize for my remarks that irritated Mr. Holt. I'm sorry that my answer made you angry, but that was my most honest response. If you were asked again, I would give the same answer. Thank you for your comments. I will work harder and improve myself. Thank you for your hard work, judges."

He stood up, bowed to the judge in front of him, and then actually picked up his torn documents piece by piece.

During the picking up process, the scene was particularly quiet.

Huo Yan had countless thoughts at this moment: First, throw the chair and leave, and then say to him, "What's so great about foreigners? This is Country Z!"

Second, slam the table! Say "What a crap, I don't want it!" and then leave them with a Zhuang Zhoucheng-style aloof and indifferent back.

3. "Please give me another chance?" Then let the tears of grievance roll down.

……

N: Stay calm and composed, look up and smile.

When the Nth thought came to her mind, she had already finished collecting her information. She had a strong smile on her face, tears were obvious, but she did not look aggrieved, and bowed again.

Said: "Thank you for your hard work, teachers, goodbye."
