88. Emergencies
When the alarm clock rang, Dong Yiqing was sleeping soundly. She used one hand to fumble on the bedside table, grabbed it and slapped it hard. The alarm clock came to an abrupt end. Although she was still so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, she knew in her heart that she was not qualified to sleep in now.
A person's efficiency is usually related to his/her will. Thirty minutes later, she has finished her shower, finished her breakfast and was also lunch, sitting in a corner of the university library.
The materials given by Zhang Shuo were neatly placed on the desk. After a night of hard work, she had already completed half of the new words, and while searching for new words, she also read the article several times.
Through reading, Dong Yiqing found that the logic of these articles is not complicated. For example, the article she was flipping through involved descriptions of stone raw materials, which are in English illustrations, so after mastering professional vocabulary, the difficulty has decreased a lot.
But she still didn't dare to take it lightly. She wanted to get this job too much. She set a vibrating alarm for herself, reminding herself not to forget the afternoon class time, and then devoted herself to the material translation work.
After leaving the driving school, Dong Qiangqiang went home directly. He cooked a dish for himself, and then began to read newspapers every day. Especially in the financial section of the newspaper, he read more seriously than other sections. This not only improved his reading level, but also learned about German stock market information. If he traded stocks himself, he would not sue him in the future.
When he was tired of reading the newspaper, he switched to the simulation paper of the driving school. The simulation paper of the German driving school is very interesting. Its correct answer is not to use 1a, 2b, and 3c to uniformly print it on a certain piece of paper to tell the answerer, but to attach a long narrow strip of paper on the last page of each set of simulation paper, with a small red triangle on the strip, and there are some small square holes above and below the red triangle. At the same time, a red triangle of the same size is also printed at a certain position on each page of the simulation paper.
If you want to check the correct answers to the test questions, just align the pointed tips of the red triangle on the narrow strip with the pointed tips of the red triangle on each page of the simulation sheet, so that the correct options for each question on the page will appear unbiasedly in the holes of those small squares. The positions of the red triangles printed on each page of the simulation sheet are not the same. The answerer needs to do something to know the correct answers of each question, rather than just copying it. In this hands-on process, the learners may have a deeper impression of the test questions and answers. Dong Qiangqiang feels that although this method takes time, it increases the fun of learning knowledge, and also makes him feel that he spends so much effort in such an inconspicuous place. The Germanic nation does not seem to be as old-fashioned as the legendary one.
The afternoon passed quickly. While making supper, Dong Qiangqiang met the big max again.
Dong Qiangqiang knew that reading can be improved slowly by reading newspapers and reading books, but in addition to reading aloud, the best way to speak is to talk to the native speaker.
But his relationship with Max doesn't seem to be as harmonious as others. Although Dong Qiangqiang doesn't know the crux of the two, if he wants to talk to each other, he needs to find a way.
He had tried to impress the other party with delicious food before, after all, this trick was tried and defeated his female landlord Sasha, Drunkard Brother, and even Leilanting in one fell swoop. But Max seemed very cold to the ancient oriental dishes. He always ate his whole wheat bread with strawberry jam, plus a bottle of German beer, and sometimes ordered takeaway pizza. Dong Qiangqiang even once saw him in the kitchen making Indian curry rice with great enthusiasm, but turned a blind eye to the deliciousness he had carefully cooked.
The old saying goes well, it is not a business to go forward. Simply catering to others will not increase the other party’s favorability for themselves, and it may even backfire.
While cooking, Dong Qiangqiang thought about how to use how to get closer to Max. The cola chicken wings in the wok were bubbling hotly, and the aroma spread throughout the kitchen.
Max opened a bottle of beer, took a casual look at the chicken wings in the pot, frowned and threw down: "Do you have to have such a big smoke every time you cook? I really can't understand how you cook." After that, he shook his shoulders and walked out of the kitchen slowly.
When the phone makes a buzzing sound, Dong Yiqing has "killed" half of the new words in the remaining materials. The advantage of continuous combat is that the short-term memory of new words will become very impressive, so many words will become less new words when they are faced later, and the more they go, the more efficient she will be in translation. Although the pressure is still very high, at least it has improved a lot compared to last night.
She quickly packed up her things and walked towards the teaching building.
At 20:20 in the evening, Dong Qiangqiang arrived at Station No. 22 outside the railway station ten minutes in advance. Before he could finish a cigarette, he saw an Eastern European man's silver van swaying towards the station.
Dong Qiangqiang quickly squeezed out the cigarette and threw it into the trash can. The van braked suddenly and stuck on the road outside the station. The door was pulled open by the workers, and everyone got into the car in a row. Dong Qiangqiang was ranked last. Just as he raised his legs and was about to get into the car, the Eastern European man looked forward in the driver's seat and suddenly shouted: "Don't get into the car."
Dong Qiangqiang was stunned, holding the car door frame with his hand and asked, "What did you say?"
The Eastern European man seemed to have not heard him and sucked two sips of cigarette butt. While starting the car, he signaled the others to pull up the car door.
Dong Qiangqiang was confused and watched the side door slowly pull up. He quickly reached out and pulled open the door next to the passenger seat and shouted: "Why don't I have to get in the car?"
"Because you fool has been fired." The Eastern European man sneered at him, "Now you can close the car door to me as soon as possible."
"Exit? When?" Dong Qiangqiang became even more puzzled, "Why did I fire me?"
"I'll let you close the door!" the Eastern European man roared, "Don't you fucking understand German?" He rushed from the driver's seat and grabbed the door frame.
Although Dong Qiangqiang was also very angry, he did not want to have a physical conflict with the other party directly. He let go of his hand and the car door slammed.
The Eastern European man cursed and spoke in words that Dong Qiangqiang could not understand. The small van drove far away.
Dong Qiangqiang stood there for a while and then got on the light rail in disappointment. When he was a few stops away from home, he received a call from Lei Lanting.
"Hey, old boss, the foreman told me just now that I won't have to go to the factory in the future, but I see that everyone else has taken the bus. I called a Bulgarian buddy in the factory but no one answered it. They may have bad signals in the factory. Have you arrived at the factory? If you arrive, please ask me what the situation is." Lei Lanting on the phone shouted angrily.
"My work... is gone, either." Dong Qiangqiang whispered.
"What? Your worker is also..." Lei Lanting on the phone was surprised, "Don't you have a job permit? What's going on? Do they want people anymore? 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 he felt a little moved, "I plan to go to the factory tomorrow morning to ask what's going on."
"Then what time are you going tomorrow?" Lei Lanting breathed, "If you want to go, I will go too, but I seem to have classes tomorrow. Please wait and check it out..." A sound of paper was heard on the phone, "Well, I'm going to class at 13:30 tomorrow. What do you think when you arrive at 9 o'clock?"
"I'm fine." Dong Qiangqiang thought to himself.
"Okay, let's see you at the train station in the city center tomorrow. Just take No. 22 and turn over once there." Lei Lanting couldn't help complaining, "I've been so fucking recently. Alas... I'm so depressed."
"But I have a problem," Dong Qiangqiang hesitated for a moment, "It seems that I have never signed a contract with an Eastern European man before."
"Damn, I remembered after you said that, and I seemed to... not sign."
The light rail slowly drove past the buildings, and slight sparks burst out from time to time on the rails. There was a silence on the phone, and neither of them spoke.
"Then...will you still go?" Lei Lanting hesitated.
"Go! Take a dead horse as a living horse." Dong Qiangqiang hung up the phone and turned his gaze out the window. His mood fluctuated with the bumpy light rail. He did not expect that a small temporary job would be so unstable, and he would say nothing.
But what worried him even more was Yu Jianghai. I wonder if he was making trouble behind this.
It was not until the museum was closed that Dong Yiqing came out of the library. It was almost midnight and there was no one on campus. She carried her schoolbag, pedaled her bicycle, and rode towards the student dormitory.
The shops on the street were closed, and she bought another large bag of instant coffee in a convenience store while passing by a gas station.
She had already done all the new words and some of the content, and she could get all the materials for another night. Although these things were not easy to do, she became more and more confident about the interview on Wednesday.
The gentle night wind gently stroked her cheeks. Just as she was about to take a shortcut from the forest path and return to the dormitory, she suddenly saw a column of light shaking in the woods in front of her left.
She couldn't help but glance at the direction of the woods, but didn't notice a raised stone on the ground. Just as she turned her head and looked at the road again, the bicycle pressed onto the stone accurately. The car suddenly rolled up, and Dong Yiqing, who was a little drowsy, flew out of the seat without any precaution.
Her scalp and hands were all scratched, and the bloodstains looked a little scary. Fortunately, there were no branches or stones next to her, so she did not suffer any more injuries.
She lay in the grass for a while, and was about to get up, she suddenly heard footsteps coming towards her direction, and there was also the sound of someone talking.
Dong Yiqing suddenly remembered the robbery of a girl near university a year ago, and suddenly became alert. She didn't bother to help her fall down on the side, and her bike was still rotating, and she quickly hid behind a tree closest to her.
As soon as she hid her figure, a beam of light from a flashlight suddenly shot towards 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.
