Chapter 200 Retest

On the third day after the cultural performance, during the morning class, the radio announced the students who had passed the examination and gathered them at the school gate. After a while, they were led by the counselors and took a special bus to go there. 'Canton Fair' scene.

Today is the last round of interviews. Everyone in the car is looking forward to it. After all, we have come this far. If it fails, it will be a big loss.

The counselor's surname is Huang. He is in his 30s and is very thin. He wears a pair of myopic glasses and looks gentle. He is responsible for leading the team of students from the School of Engineering this time.

Halfway through the car, it started to rain. The rainwater slid across the car window, making the scenery misty.

Along the way, the counselors and teachers were talking to the students about basic etiquette. The students who made it to the final interview all had similar speaking skills, but they knew very little about etiquette.

Zhao Jiamin was sitting in the front row of Qiu Huoming with a girl. The teacher had introduced this girl as He Caixia, a sophomore in the Department of Chemical Engineering.

Next to Qiu Huoming was a boy whom he had met several times before in the English Corner. He was Zhang Song from the Department of Electrical Engineering.

Among the ten students, except for Zhao Jiamin and He Caixia, who are girls, the other eight are boys.

"Remember, you must be polite when you meet. Saying hello is a must, and you must say goodbye when you leave. Shaking hands is etiquette, but remember not to hold on tightly, just give it a gentle squeeze..."

Teacher Huang's mouth went dry as he spoke, and the minibus chartered by the school began to slowly drive into the periphery of the exhibition hall.

At this time, the Canton Fair has been moved to Liuhua Road. Compared with the venue before 74, the traffic here is more convenient.

A modern exhibition hall appeared in the rain. At this time, the door of the 'Canton Fair' still had the words 'Export Commodity Fair' written in large gilt characters. It was not the 'Import and Export' in the future. At this time, it was mainly for exporting goods to earn money. What is prepared to withdraw foreign exchange is a unilateral transaction.

The vehicle slowed down, and there were several large billboards in the square. Through the misty car windows, Qiu Huoming saw the 'Seagull' watch and the familiar 'Canon' printer billboard, which stood in the rain. Qiu Huoming truly felt the sense of the times.

The car turned a corner and stopped at the main entrance of the exhibition hall.

Starting from the Canton Fair in the spring of 82, the original 30-day holding period was shortened to 20 days, and the autumn period was from October 10th to November 15th. Almost all the college students who participated as "volunteers" this time There are no seniors. The graduation exam for seniors is very important, so everyone has almost no time to do other things.

Therefore, most of the candidates this time are freshmen and sophomores.

The car stopped, and a staff member with a badge quickly walked out of the door. He was responsible for ushering people in.

Entering the conference hall, there were already many students inside.

Everyone looked at each other curiously. They came from different universities. If they can be admitted, then everyone will be colleagues in the next 20 days.

A staff member said to a man who looked like a leader, "Director Guo, everyone is here..."

Director Guo is in his 50s, slightly chubby, meticulously dressed, and looks a bit serious.

He smiled, his serious expression softening a little.

He amplified his voice and said, "Welcome to all students, everyone should have heard of our 'Canton Fair'. This is a place that creates foreign exchange for the country. If you can come here, you must be the best in each university..."

"Next, everyone's order will be disrupted. Each group of 6 people will be in a state. From now on, you will be in the state. Now, you are the reception staff. Some booths in the exhibition hall have been arranged. Each group will go Different areas, these are all random..."

Director Guo clapped his hands, and suddenly many people walked in outside, including several with foreign faces.

"When guests arrive, what each group has to do is to receive and guide them, take them to the relevant booths, and introduce the products on the booths to them..."

Qiu Huoming, Zhang Song and Zhao Jiamin were lucky enough not to be separated, but were assigned to the same group together.

The other three members were unfamiliar faces, one female and two male. As soon as they were assigned, they heard Zhao Jiamin's suppressed tone of surprise and whispered: "Luo Jinxiu!"

Qiu Huoming had heard of this name. Zhao Jiamin had mentioned to him before that she was Pan Jincheng's twin sister, which meant that they formed a temporary group with students from the Chinese University of Science and Technology.

Luo Jinxiu looks somewhat similar to Pan Jincheng. She is petite, probably less than 1 meters tall, has a baby face, short hair tucked behind her ears, fair skin, and curved eyebrows when she smiles. She looks nothing like Pan Jincheng. A look of awe.

"Amin, why are you here..." Luo Jinxiu ignored her and stepped forward to hug Zhao Jiamin.

"I knew you wouldn't give up on this job, so I signed up." Luo Jinxiu squinted her eyes and confirmed that the other party was indeed Zhao Jiamin.

"You, you don't wear glasses when you go out!" Zhao Jiamin touched her hair angrily.

The two of them, one tall and one short, stood together, creating a strangely harmonious atmosphere.

"Don't be afraid, I know you can find me..." Luo Jinxiu raised her head, her eyes filled with joy that was about to overflow.

As they were talking, the staff had already led a foreigner with brown skin over.

"Hi!" The foreigner greeted first.

Qiu Huoming quickly stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and shook the other person's hand.

He first said a welcome speech, then released his hand and introduced himself.

Zhao Jiamin and Luo Jinxiu also immediately got into the mood, came up one after another and shook hands...

Zhang Song and the other two boys also followed their own example and performed some operations. Everyone performed well in this round.

The other party patiently cooperated with everyone's performance. After exchanging pleasantries, the foreigner named John began to tell what he wanted to inspect today...

Qiu Huoming was the first to react and guided him towards the venue outside.

In the venue, many booths have been set up. These booths are very similar to the booths of later generations. Although they are not as gorgeous as later generations, they have everything they should have.

The remaining students began to get a little nervous. John stood there and asked them again. Zhao Jiamin responded quickly and immediately caught up with his words. After a while, Luo Jinxiu also understood...

John nodded, smiled at Qiu Huoming, and said to him in English: "Dear Qiu, please lead the way."

This man has a pretty good memory and has already memorized the names of six students.

"It's an honor..." Qiu Huoming responded to him with a smile.

Several people walked towards the bicycle and motorcycle booths.

(Exhibition site in 82)

The foreigner's request is very simple. He comes to China this time just to purchase a batch of good-quality bicycles and motorcycles, so he can recommend any relevant products to him and explain the advantages of the products to him.

This involves some professional terms for products, and there are some requirements for vocabulary and responsiveness.

Especially when words that he doesn't understand or can't speak appear, as a qualified guide, he should learn to use other methods to achieve his goal.

This is not a school, and there is not only one answer. The only purpose here is to be a good guide, entertain customers well, and allow everyone to communicate smoothly...

If possible, it would be an extra point to promote the quintessence of the country.

John held a notebook in his hand. After he arrived at the booth, he asked everyone different questions in turn. At the same time, he began to record in the notebook...

After half an hour, the assessment stopped.

John smiled and said goodbye to them...

Everyone returned to the venue again. Under the guidance of the staff, the students sat down and waited for the assessment results.

After this assessment, Luo Jinxiu also met Qiu Huoming and his group. She was a little curious about Qiu Huoming, "Classmate Qiu, where did you learn your foreign language? You speak it so well..."

Zhao Jiamin answered for Qiu Huoming, "He has only been in Yangcheng for more than a month. Where did he learn it from? Even if you know it, you can't go to other places..."

"That's such a pity..." Luo Jinxiu narrowed his eyes.

Zhao Jiamin really couldn't see anymore, "Go back and put on your glasses. It's not a big deal if you squint your eyes like that..."

"I have glasses, but they look ugly. I only wear them on important occasions. Please stop trying to persuade me..."

Qiu Huoming thought to himself, it's a pity that contact lenses haven't been invented yet, and the girls and boys of later generations are still happy. If they want to look good, they can take off their glasses in a minute and dress up in beautiful scenery.

"Okay, I won't advise you anymore." Zhao Jiamin couldn't do anything to her, so she simply gave up.

Several people were chatting when Director Guo walked quickly into the venue holding a manual in his hand.

"Everyone performed very well just now, but we still need to screen for more suitable candidates. Don't be discouraged by the unsuccessful students. You are already excellent... Now I will announce the list of admitted candidates. Next, the admitted people will stay in Stay where you are, let's have a brief meeting..."

Luo Jinxiu clasped her hands together, "Bless me and Amin to pass..."

"Sun Yat-sen University, Li Chao..." Director Guo read out the name of the Sun Yat-sen student first. Luo Jinxiu suddenly became nervous and tightly grasped the hem of Zhao Jiamin's shirt with one hand.

"Luo Jinxiu..." The third one was her. Luo Jinxiu just breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Zhao Jiamin. Next, she would be worried about Zhao Jiamin...

CUHK admitted four people this time.

Director Guo continued to read, "South China Institute of Technology, Qiu Huoming, Zhao Jiamin, Zhang Song..." The Institute of Engineering only admitted 3 students this time, and they were the same as the freshman Shi Yuliang of the Chinese University of Technology. It seems that the re-examination this time is very strict. According to the Looking at it this way, the number of people admitted will not be very large.

Soon 56 volunteers were confirmed. The School of Foreign Languages ​​admitted the most students this time. They had more people in the preliminary round. In addition to this round, only one person from their school was eliminated, and the remaining 35 were admitted. .

After all, foreign languages ​​are their major, and they do speak them better than students in ordinary schools.

Volunteers mainly play a role of filling vacancies, and the number does not need to be too large. Most of the guidance and reception work are performed by the organizer's staff.

After the unsuccessful students left the venue, the remaining 56 admitted students each received a written document with detailed information about the exhibition and details of the exhibitors participating in the exhibition.

"What you are holding in your hands is the relevant information of our autumn exhibition. Please try to memorize it as much as possible. There are floor plans of each booth at the back. Dear students, please try your best to be familiar with the main products of each major exhibitor..."

After Director Guo finished stating some basic requirements, he left first and was led by someone to take the students around the exhibition hall.

After shopping, he led them back to the venue. As it approached noon, someone brought badges with their names on them into the venue.

Qiu Huoming had just put these things away when Director Guo walked in again.

"Everyone will have lunch in the cafeteria together at noon. This meal was invited by our working group. Thank you very much. After lunch, you can go back..."

Zhang Song was happy. He approached Qiu Huoming in a low voice and said, "I was just thinking that I might not have lunch when I go back to school. I didn't expect him to come out like this. It's very, very good..."

After a while, staff members came in and took everyone to the cafeteria. After entering the cafeteria, they discovered that the students who had been unsuccessful were also inside, already eating and drinking.

The organizing committee was not bad. Although it broke the hearts of the losers, it soothed their stomachs.

The dinner plates here are made of metal, very similar to those in later generations. Everyone queues up with their plates. This time the standard is two meat and two vegetables, and a bowl of soup.

Qiu Huoming chose pork ribs and fish pieces, and chose cabbage sum and carrots as vegetarian dishes. The soup was the same old Huo regular soup and he had no choice.

The dining table here is very long and can seat many people. Zhao Jiamin and Luo Jinxiu seemed to be on the same person, so it was natural for several people from the School of Natural Engineering to sit together with the CUHK students.

Strictly speaking, CUHK and the School of Engineering have the same origin. They are the same school. They were later separated. The stone gatehouse of the School of Engineering is still the original plaque of CUHK. The current plaque of CUHK was made later.

Luo Jinxiu was happy and kept talking to Zhao Jiamin. Even the food could not stop her. Zhao Jiamin was very good-tempered and listened patiently and occasionally echoed.

Qiu Huoming devoured the food. Today's dishes tasted very authentic and had Lao Guang's usual standards, which made Qiu Huoming look forward to the next work.

After he had eaten and drank enough, he found that Luo Jinxiu was still talking.

He interrupted, "Classmate Luo, you and Classmate Zhao have such a good relationship, why did you apply for schools separately in the first place?"

Luo Jinxiu was stunned, she squinted her eyes, pouted and looked at Zhao Jiamin beside her.

Zhao Jiamin smiled and said, "It's my fault, the first choice and the second choice were filled in incorrectly..."

She blinked at Qiu Huoming.

Zhao Jiamin pointed to Luo Jinxiu's food, "If you don't eat it, we won't wait for you."

"Oh." Luo Jinxiu sighed and began to eat hard.

After eating, everyone separated and were taken away from the scene by the counselor...

On the way back to the bus, the loser got on first. After Zhang Song got on the bus, only the last row was empty.

Zhao Jiamin and Qiu Huoming simply sat together and chatted by the way.

Although the rain stopped, the sky was still gray, the motor was noisy, and the car was trembling as it drove towards the school.

Zhao Jiamin and Qiu Huoming explained in a low voice: "When I was filling in my application for the college entrance examination, something happened to my family. I went back to my father's hometown. When I came back, my uncle filled in my application in reverse. so……"

Qiu Huoming breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you Uncle Jin, otherwise I wouldn't have met you..."

Zhao Jiamin's ears were slightly red, "That's not necessarily the case. Just like today, Luo Jinxiu and I met."

"That's what you call a reunion. If we meet again, you will definitely say, 'Where did this scoundrel come from?'" Qiu Huoming was still frightened when he thought of the cold stares he received in the car last time.

"Then...then..." Zhao Jiamin was speechless for a moment.

A blush appeared on her fair complexion, and she had nothing to say. She simply stayed silent and turned to look out the window.
