Chapter 324 Yin Mingzhu wants to join CCTV [Request full order]
It’s winter again.
The heavy snow in the north always falls earlier than in the south.
In the south it may or may not rain, but in the north it rains endlessly once it starts.
For example, this year, although it is already winter vacation, heavy snow blocked the railway line, posing a safety hazard along the railway line. Before the snow melted or was cleared, thousands of students from the south had to stay in Beijing temporarily.
In a blink of an eye.
It has been two and a half years since the last breakup.
Yin Mingzhu is also a junior now.
Her appearance is no longer as childish as before, and her temperament has changed tremendously compared to before. It may be because she has read more books. She now has a very special bookish air. The way she treats people and deals with things gives people a feeling of being generous and fulfilled inside. If I have to use a word to describe her, it may be charming!
Yin Mingzhu was curled up on the bed reading a book at this time.
The hair should have been freshly washed, and was half-dry and slightly curly, hanging down the back of the head.
At this moment, she just sighed softly, closed the book in her hand, turned sideways to put on her shoes, walked to the window of the dormitory, put the book in her hand on the desk in front of the window, and looked through the window at the snow scene outside in a daze.
"Sister, calm down, please calm down, don't open the window, your sister is freezing to death."
This naughty voice sounded.
Looking around the whole room, except for one bed with scattered sheets and bulging quilt, the rest of the beds either had their quilts folded neatly or had even the sheets gone, leaving only the bare bed boards. It was obvious that the owner had cleaned up the bed and took them back to his hometown during the winter vacation.
People from the southern part of the Yangtze River also have a low resistance to the cold winter in the north.
Compared to Yin Mingzhu, she was willing to spend time to take care of her image. In such weather, she even braved the rain and snow and walked through several dormitories and teaching buildings to get hot water in the boiler room just to wash her hair, wipe her body, and make herself feel refreshed.
Xu Siqi is different.
No matter how her good sisters invited her to go out with them, she would just refuse to get up. She would rather spend the entire 24 hours sleeping except for eating, shitting and peeing. Or when Zhou Gong was on holiday and couldn't fall asleep, she would rather hide in her warm bed and refuse to get up no matter what.
"It's okay to be sloppy, sister, please be kind, I can't do it anymore, please close the door when you go out, don't let the devil of cold air run in."
These were Xu Siqi’s exact words from the previous morning.
It's afternoon now, and it's the same. She wakes up and falls asleep, and falls asleep and wakes up again!
Yin Mingzhu retracted the hand that she was about to extend and turned her head: "Aren't you hungry?"
This good sister sleeps too much. Since the holiday, others have been busy packing their schoolbags, clothes, and quilts and sheets so that they can take them home to wash during the winter vacation.
Some people left in time and even avoided the heavy snow.
And what about her?
Sleep, sleep, sleep, nothing else but sleeping.
Oh, and it’s cold. The most common thing people talk about is the cold. They don’t want to go out and want to wait for the rain to stop and the sky to clear up.
"GuluGulu——"
Speaking of being hungry, it would have been fine if Yin Mingzhu didn't mention it. As soon as she mentioned it, Xu Siqi's stomach started to growl in bed.
She was a little embarrassed and buried her head in the quilt, revealing only a pair of small eyes. She said pitifully: "Sister, good sister——"
When Yin Mingzhu heard her calling her in a deliberately disguised drawn-out tone, she immediately got goose bumps all over her body.
"Stop, stop."
Somewhat helplessly, he said, "Should we eat it dry or wet this time? Round or square?"
Dry food is fried rice noodles in the south, wet food is dumplings in the north, the round ones are baozi, and the square ones represent steamed buns.
The cafeteria at Yanda University actually has a pretty rich variety of food, with both northern and southern dishes, and eight major cuisines. It’s not complete, but it’s almost there, and there’s plenty of white rice, too.
It’s just that Yin Mingzhu and Xu Siqi are both rather picky when it comes to food.
He also has a quirk. He only eats rice and side dishes in the cafeteria and never brings them back to the dormitory to eat as it will easily mix the smells. Also, having leftovers is not good either. If you throw them away, it would be a waste of food. If you don't, they will smell in the dormitory and he would have to make a special trip to the cafeteria.
It's much easier to switch to other foods.
There is basically no waste. Even if they cannot finish the food, they can continue eating it in the next meal. The highest record was the time before last, during the winter vacation of their freshman year. They both stayed on campus for a few more days. In order to go out less, they decided to buy two large bags of steamed buns. They would eat them when they were hungry. Anyway, they would not go bad and they could not be chewed. They also had a kettle. They would open the kettle, pour out half a bowl of boiling water, soak the buns in the boiling water, and then continue eating.
But!
Both of them actually forgot this fine tradition and neither of them picked it up again.
Are you used to a good life and can't stand hardship anymore?
Yin Mingzhu felt it necessary to reflect on herself carefully.
Thinking of this, she reached out and took her scarf from the bedside, wrapped it around her neck twice, and covered her face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, wrapped tightly.
When I heard a cry not much louder than a kitten coming from the quilt opposite me, "Sister Mingzhu, I want a big, plump, meaty bun with juice splashing all over it today."
Yin Mingzhu took a few quick steps, opened the door, and then slammed it shut.
She was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and would run back and strangle her best sister to death for staying in bed and acting like a spoiled brat.
Fortunately, she woke up after walking out of the room and down the stairs and feeling the cold wind.
Then he shook his head vigorously, let out a long sigh, covered his eyes with his hands, and ran into the snow.
Junior year is crucial.
Because once you reach your senior year, you will have to face internships and decide where you will eventually go.
The junior year is the most critical year. If you have connections, you can start preparing in advance, and you can even go for an internship and adapt to the environment in advance. Even if you want to stay in school to take postgraduate entrance exams, you can also prepare in advance in your junior year.
Yin Mingzhu is very conflicted now.
She has two plans for her future. The first is to interview for a job at CCTV and become a CCTV reporter, preferably on an overseas assignment. This way, all her efforts in learning English over the years will not be in vain and she can also take this opportunity to open her eyes to the world.
After all, her dream since childhood has been to travel around the world one day.
The second scenario was that if CCTV didn't want her, she would stay and take the postgraduate entrance examination, and continue to study for a master's degree at Yanjing University in the capital.
Then you can still work hard to realize your dreams during your graduate studies.
These are the two paths she envisioned, but in fact their ultimate goals are the same, which is to fulfill her childhood dream, the so-called opening her eyes to see the world and measuring the world with her footsteps.
Maybe she is just a more "naive" person.
In comparison, good sister Xu Shiqi's "dream" is much simpler, or it can be said that she has no "dream" at all. In her first year of university, her good sister said that after graduation she would return to her hometown to work and join the Economic and Television Station in Hunan Province, first as a trainee reporter, or a trainee host, to build up her qualifications. If she does well in the future, it should be no problem for her to become a director. If she wants to be a station director, it may be a bit difficult.
Yin Mingzhu initially thought the female classmate sounded quite relaxed and thought she was just joking.
Later, after we knew each other for a long time and became good sisters, we no longer thought so.
After all, his father is the deputy mayor.
But with a father who is a deputy mayor, he probably can't manage a department as big as a provincial TV station, right? It doesn't matter.
She also has a mother who is the production director at a provincial TV station.
After Yin Mingzhu learned this, she was completely convinced.
And now, she also has a third way.
When her good sister learned that her dream was to join CCTV and that she had failed the selection several times, she advised her to go with her to a local TV station first, work there for a few years to gain experience with her, and then look for an opportunity to join CCTV. This is a roundabout way to save the country, right?
She was very moved.
But there is always a feeling of unwillingness in my heart.
And she was also very clear that if she really gave up like this, once she joined a local TV station, whether as a reporter or a host, she would probably have no chance to come back here, let alone join CCTV. The so-called roundabout way to save the country was nothing but self-deception.
but--
Are we going to give up such a good opportunity?
We must honestly admit that it is not that easy to get into a TV station in the provincial capital, especially since the sisters' mother is a senior executive in this TV station. It is conceivable that there will be many opportunities for promotion. At worst, at least there will be a relatively fair competition environment, isn't it?
Yin Mingzhu also asked her tutor, and even her tutor advised her that this was actually a good way out.
After all, China is a society based on personal relationships.
Even if she stayed and was admitted to Yanda University as a graduate student as she wished, she might not be able to work at CCTV as she wished during or after her graduate studies.
The instructor said that he couldn't guarantee anything for her, after all, CCTV has always been very strict in its selection process.
I can only say that the opportunities will be greater than those for undergraduates now.
to this end.
Yin Mingzhu wanted to find someone to discuss things with.
However, after thinking about it over and over again, she couldn't sleep for many nights, but she couldn't find someone who could discuss things with her.
With a lot on her mind, Yin Mingzhu ran into the cafeteria, shook off the snow on her body, stamped her feet to warm herself up, then ran to the window, called out "Auntie", bought two large bags of bulging fresh meat buns, and under the surprised gazes of her classmates who also stayed at school, she covered her face again, leaving only a pair of beautiful eyes, and ran out of the cafeteria into the wind and snow.
"Student Yin Mingzhu, wait a minute. We are from the hometown association. When the snow stops, the school hometown association will organize an activity for returning home together. Do you and student Xu Shiqi want to join us?"
A male classmate called her from behind and was about to chase after her. Unfortunately, after taking a few steps, he saw nothing but white in front of him and could no longer see Yin Mingzhu.
I had no choice but to return.
He brushed off the snow on his body and said dejectedly to his companions, "These two dwarfs from Yan University in Hunan Province are really amazing. Aren't they too inhumane?"
This caused a burst of ridicule from the friends around him.
"Tsk, if you want to be so approachable and so easy to make friends with, how can you wait until now? These two thorny high-class flowers still haven't heard of having owners?"
"Wake up, buddy."
"Okay, okay, at least Azhi dared to try. We don't even dare to try, so don't laugh at him."
"Let's go, let's go back to the dormitory first. We haven't gained nothing this time. At least two of our junior sisters have agreed to go back home with us, so we won't be too lonely on the journey."
"Hehe, when the time comes - we agreed to a fair competition. I still want to be single before graduation."
"Take it off, didn't you just break up? Your junior high school girl is only a freshman, and you are a senior. You want to have fun and then abandon her after graduation? Damn, everyone is still hungry. Brothers, fuck him, and put him on the show."
A group of boys, screaming and making a lot of noise, ran out of the cafeteria one after another and ran into the wind and snow on the campus.
In a blink of an eye, the snow stopped and the sky cleared.
Five days later, at Baoqing Railway Station, Lu Yang was leaning against his Santana sedan, bored.
He was getting a little impatient waiting.
After all, this train was still late.
Lu Yang didn't have to come in person. He could have simply refused or just arranged for a driver to drive his own car over.
But later, a phone call made him change his mind.
Mayor Xu Changping of the neighboring Heng City and former Deputy Mayor Xu of Baoqing City called personally.
As for my daughter's trip this time, I have to ask Lu Yang to pick her up. This girl doesn't want to go home, but insists on taking advantage of the winter vacation to visit her aunt.
She also said that she had many memories of Baoqing City, while the neighboring Heng City was too unfamiliar to her.
So compared to going to Heng City to find her father, she would rather come to Baoqing City first to find her aunt. By then, during the Chinese New Year, the whole family will go to the provincial capital to reunite and celebrate the New Year together.
She and her aunt can definitely hang out together!
This way you have time and can play to your heart’s content without the constraints of your parents!
The above, the last sentence, was not within the scope of the conversation between Vice Mayor Xu and Lu Yang.
This is Lu Yang’s own guess.
As for whether it is true or false, we will know after a try. Lu Yang had not had much contact with the daughter of Deputy Mayor Xu before, but he had also had quite a few. Every time he picked up Yin Mingzhu or sent Yin Mingzhu off, this girl would be present.
Over time.
how to say?
We can barely be considered ordinary friends! ? ?
This girl has a lively personality, but she is also carefree and innocent. Maybe she has been protected too well since she was a child and has never encountered any setbacks. When she speaks, she may inadvertently hurt others easily.
Lu Yang had been injured before.
The little girl was very curious about how a rural man with a low level of education could achieve his current success.
Every time we meet, he would pester me.
I didn't mean it. I have always spoken like this since I was a child.
In short: no brains.
Of course, beautiful women have privileges, and usually at this time, they are described as "too pure" or "too simple".
“Bang, bang, bang… woooooooo——”
Lu Yang came back to his senses, and at this moment, the sound of the train entering the station finally rang out.
