Chapter 179 A Day in the Life of Yin Mingzhu [4000]
Yenching University, girls’ dormitory, the afternoon sun shines in from the window, onto the face of a sleeping beauty.
Yin Mingzhu was dozing off on the desk by the window.
There was a slight look of fatigue on his face.
If nothing unexpected happened, she must have fallen asleep while reading, because besides this, half of her face was pressed on an economics book.
Probably because it wasn't her major.
Yin Mingzhu majored in international journalism and took English as an elective.
My primary dream was to be a diplomatic translator.
My dream is to become a diplomat.
My secondary dream is to become an international news reporter.
Because this way I can travel abroad often and see different scenery outside.
Being young, she didn’t consider anything else at that time, so she chose international journalism as her major and took English as an elective course as her main focus for the four years of college.
After all, Yin Mingzhu is a person with a very clear purpose.
From this, we can also know.
Today is Sunday and there are no classes. My roommates are planning to take this rare opportunity to go out for a walk outside the school.
Even Xu Siqi, her best friend, came, saying that a friend of her mother came from her hometown on business and came to see her and bring her some local specialties from her hometown. She also asked Yin Mingzhu if she wanted to go with them.
Of course Yin Mingzhu refused.
There is a huge difference between her good sister's mother's friend coming to see her and her not her good sister's mother coming to see her.
Anyone with a little emotional intelligence knows how to say no.
But in this way, she was the only one left in the dormitory.
Originally, the other girls in the dormitory saw that she was lonely staying in the dormitory alone, so they wanted to ask her to go out and play together, but Yin Mingzhu refused.
She didn't want to waste her time on boring socializing.
After thinking about it, I found a book on economics written by my sister Xu Siqi, hoping to change my appetite and read it carefully in the afternoon.
It is worth mentioning that although this little sister studied the same journalism major as her, she chose social economics when choosing her elective major.
I don’t know what’s going on in these little sisters’ heads.
Yin Mingzhu didn't quite understand.
Moreover, before this, she had no interest in economics at all. She thought that since she had already chosen her life goal and wanted to be a journalist or a diplomatic translator in the future, it would be better for her not to be distracted and just focus on English journalism. After all, a person's energy is limited.
However, recently, for some reason, after the winter vacation, when she occasionally saw her little sisters reading books on economics, she couldn't help but think about it.
If I also take social economics as an elective, will I have a chance to completely surpass that stinky guy when I graduate in the future?
Ultimately, it was Lu Yang's success that made her feel a little uneasy.
You don't necessarily have to become a businessman covered in rust in the future.
It should be possible to study how that guy succeeded, right?
She endured it for several months and never had the courage to speak to her younger sisters.
Who told this little sister to be such a big mouth? We must be suspicious of her motives for doing this.
Today is the chance I got.
only……
Ugh.
As she watched, she actually fell asleep.
This is the first time that she, a talented girl from Yan University who has been a top student since childhood, fell asleep while reading.
The sunlight outside the window is a little dazzling.
The light shone on Yin Mingzhu's face, making her eyelashes move, indicating that she had woken up.
He raised one hand to block the sunlight.
Then open your eyes.
Yin Mingzhu sighed slightly tiredly and closed the book.
She really couldn't get into this book.
It seems that she is really not cut out for studying market economics.
At this time...
"Ding ding ding ding, I'm back. Hey, why is the door still locked? Sister, please open the door quickly. Your hands are not convenient for you."
The door of the dormitory behind me was pushed at first, but did not open. Then the delicate cry of my little sister Xu Siqi was heard.
Yin Mingzhu shook her head helplessly, put the book back to its place, then stood up to help her open the door.
"Don't you have the key with you?"
Yin Mingzhu asked the moment the door opened.
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately shut up again, because this time, she really couldn't blame the little sister for being lazy: "Okay, I take back what I said just now."
Xu Siqi in front of him was standing on tiptoe, leaning against the door frame with her chin raised, and holding a bundle of newspapers in her hands with great effort.
Seeing her best sister finally open the door, she begged for help: "Quick, quick, sister, I can't carry it anymore, help me get some."
Yin Mingzhu helped her get some.
Puzzled, he asked, "Are you short of money? Why are you importing so many goods? Are you planning to become a newspaper girl?"
"Don't make fun of me, sister. This is a local specialty from my hometown that my father brought me."
Xu Siqi entered the dormitory holding a pile of newspapers and placed them on the desk.
"Sister, give me what's in your arms, too."
She took back some newspapers that Yin Mingzhu had just taken away from her and put them on the pile of newspapers.
Get them all neat and tidy.
He took a few steps back, tilted his head to take a look, and nodded with satisfaction.
Yin Mingzhu was even more puzzled. She flipped through the newspaper, turned her head and looked at the little sister and said, "You asked your aunt to find someone to bring you local specialties. Are these the ones?"
"Yeah, isn't it amazing?"
Xu Siqi said proudly.
Yin Mingzhu gave her a beautiful eye-rolling performance.
Then he walked back to his bed, took out an English book from the schoolbag hanging on the bedside, sat down, lowered his head, and opened to a page he had read before.
"Before I get too involved."
"Tell me the reason quickly. I know you won't be so bored. Xu Siqi, what are you going to do with it?"
"Is there something that requires you to travel thousands of miles and ask your aunt to send you so many newspapers?" Xu Siqi chuckled, skipping and jumping over, and sat next to Yin Mingzhu. She took Yin Mingzhu's wrist and said, "Hehe, I knew I couldn't hide it from you, sister. Who am I? How could I be so bored? These newspapers are very useful. I am writing a paper on the evolution of contemporary social and economic development from the perspective of journalism. You will know when the time comes. I am going to use it to submit my article."
I knew it was true.
Yin Mingzhu continued reading without even looking up and said, "I'm afraid you didn't want to write this yourself? Your tutor in the elective course of social economics assigned this as a professional course assignment for a student like you whose main major is journalism, right?"
"Ah, sister, you are amazing. You guessed it right again."
Xu Siqi smiled playfully, not caring at all. She pouted and continued, "Although it's a professional assignment, it doesn't affect me from submitting it. Otherwise, why would I put in so much effort? Sister, do you know? These newspapers contain all the news in our Hunan Province since this year, including Xiaoxiang Daily, Zhongnan Daily, and our Baoqing Daily. Every edition is collected. Do you want to read it with me later?"
Since you have chosen to write a paper on the evolution of contemporary social and economic development from a journalistic perspective.
Of course there has to be an anchor point.
The national scope was too large, and Xu Siqi was afraid that she would not be able to write well, so she set her sights on her hometown.
Mom and Dad help.
Sure enough, she just made a request, and someone collected all the publication numbers of major media newspapers in Hubei Province in the past six months, and then packaged them and sent them to her.
Yin Mingzhu shook her head: "No, you read it first, I'll read a book for a while."
Once she is absorbed in reading, she doesn't like to be disturbed.
"Ok."
Xu Siqi pouted, patted her little butt, walked to the desk, sat down, took out a newspaper from the pile of newspapers on the desk that were slightly taller than her, and slowly searched for the news that interested her and started reading.
This is not a technical job.
What is needed is patience and perseverance. It would take at least a week, no, ten days or half a month, without sleep or rest. I am afraid you will never be able to finish reading all these newspapers.
For a while.
Before she even looked at it, she started to have a headache.
If you had known earlier that you would not be bragging and writing high-quality economic papers, you would only be shooting yourself in the foot, wouldn't you?
But you still have to watch what you should watch.
For a moment, the dormitory was rarely quiet, with only two beautiful girls and top students breathing in the air and absorbing the sound of knowledge.
It was almost dusk, and the sunlight outside the window became weak and powerless.
Yin Mingzhu put down the English book in her hand.
He sat up straight, leaned back, stretched out one hand, clenched his fist, and patted his aching back.
I stood up to get the lunch box and called my sisters to go to the school cafeteria to get food and eat.
At this time, Xu Siqi was still engrossed in reading the newspaper.
Suddenly, the dormitory door was pushed open again, and four female students who were in line with the temperament of this era walked in.
No powder applied.
But they don't look ugly.
Among them, there was a girl who was particularly petite, like a doll. Her clothes were the simplest among the four female students, and you could even see patches on her trouser legs.
There was another person with a very tall figure, probably four or five centimeters taller than Yin Mingzhu. She had a slightly neutral appearance, but a very thin waist and legs, a bit like the figure of a model in later generations.
The other two are more ordinary, with common faces and average figures. Apart from not looking ugly, they don't have any special features.
"Hmm, you guys didn't go out?"
One of the ordinary female students looked at the two people in the room and said with a little surprise.
"They are reading. They are good students. They are not like us who are not doing our jobs properly."
Another female student with a slightly ordinary appearance said.
Yin Mingzhu frowned and didn't really want to argue with the other party.
She took out her lunch box.
Nothing is bigger than eating. He knocked on the lunch box and asked, "Are you going?"
No need to doubt.
This is a question she is asking her good sister Xu Siqi.
Xu Shiqi was absorbed in reading the newspaper just now and found a lot of interesting news. Before she had time to quote some, she was interrupted by the group of classmates who were returning to the dormitory behind her.
I don't want to pay attention to it and continue reading my newspaper.
But when I heard my good sister knocking on the lunch box and saying this, I touched my stomach and realized I was really hungry.
She stood up, stretched a little, turned around and pouted, "Help me, sister. I was so engrossed in watching it just now. Can't you help me get the food back?"
It seemed like he was complaining about Yin Mingzhu and shouldn't have disturbed her, but in fact, everyone knew who disturbed her.
"Are you two continuing your double act after the female academic bully?"
"If you want to eat, just go and eat. What's the big deal? You're acting like we can't afford to eat. Do you know what we were eating just now? Tsk, our senior is treating us to a big meal."
Two ordinary-looking female students were arguing with each other, looking very unconvinced.
"Forget it. We are all students of Yanda University. There is no distinction between good and bad students. Yin Mingzhu and Xu Siqi just want to read for a while. We did make a lot of noise just now. I want to say sorry here. Yin Mingzhu, Xu Siqi, can you forgive us?"
The tall female classmate frowned slightly at this time, and then stopped the two ordinary-looking female classmates from continuing to say even more unpleasant words.
Looking at Yin Mingzhu and Xu Siqi who were holding lunch boxes in their hands.
Having said that, how can I really not forgive you?
"Hehe, Jiang Yan, what you said is human. Sister, why don't we forget it and go eat?"
Xu Siqi seemed to be joking when she said this.
But he didn't give much face to the tall and slim girl opposite him.
The girl named Jiang Yan frowned when she heard this, but ultimately didn't say anything else.
Until Xu Siqi also took her lunch box, and then walked out of the dormitory with Yin Mingzhu and her sister.
Finally, a girl with ordinary looks couldn't help but ask, "Why? Why do we have to give in to them every time? Is it because they have vixen faces?"
Another female classmate with a slightly ordinary appearance couldn't help but said unconvincedly, "That's right, every time it seems like we are inferior to them, it's just that our family has some filthy money. Sorry, Jiang Yan, I'm not talking about you, and you don't look down on us like them. You are still a Beijing hukou, and your brother has such a big business, and I haven't seen you put on airs in front of us, unlike those two, who look up to us."
The remaining petite girl was timid and kept her head down, not daring to speak.
Perhaps it was because of the poverty that was visible to the naked eye that made her become very introverted.
Jiang Yan, who is tall and slim, frowned and looked at the two classmates.
She was very unhappy.
If these two people did not live in the same dormitory with her and were not somewhat useful, they would be the only ones she could command to mobilize two of the three people in the dormitory, and they were not like the other female classmate who was timid and was not active in anything else except eating.
She doesn't even want to continue to care about it.
That's it.
A small leak will sink a great ship.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yan looked at the two of them and said, "Remember, we come here to study to learn knowledge, not to fight, get angry, or make enemies with others. Also, don't mention my brother when you are in school. He is not a college student. Why do you always mention him?"
