Rebirth: The Life of a Scholar

Chapter 38

After the final exam of the first year of senior high school is the final exam of the third year of senior high school. For the third year of senior high school, this is not only the end of a semester, they will usher in a busy and exciting next semester for Alexander.

Ji Rong has never been afraid of exams, and his condition has always been very good, so the exams are no different from usual.

However, Ji Rong's parents rarely come home early, and his mother who doesn't cook much usually cooks for him. Ji Rong is surprised by their behavior. .

Ji Rong's father, Ji Yang, is a very open-minded but serious person. His subordinates in the company are uncertain about his thoughts, and Ji Rong is also unpredictable about him at home. It seems that only his mother can understand everything about his father.

At the dinner table, Ji Yang's posture is the sense of strength of the head of the family. Ji Rong sat next to him but didn't feel any pressure. If others were around, he probably wouldn't want to stay there for a moment.

Xu Yinmei sat down after setting up the food: "Okay, let's eat."

Ji Rong's family eats like that without saying a word, and even the sound of wanting to touch the dishes is very subtle.

After dinner, Ji Rong would go to the dessert shop as usual, but today is obviously impossible.

Ji Yang was sitting in the living room with the TV turned on very low. He looked up at Ji Rong who was about to go upstairs: "I heard that you like to eat desserts recently?"

Ji Rong was stunned for a moment, neither denied nor admitted, looked at Ji Yang lightly and waited for his next words: "Your mother said that there are always desserts in the refrigerator, so I was wondering when you like to eat them."

Ji Yang said seemingly casually, Xu Yinmei came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes and wiping her well-maintained hands: "It seems to be a long time ago, I forgot to ask you at that time, I passed by that store today and brought you some Come back, but is that child named Tang Xu?"

Ji Rong's eyes narrowed behind the lens, and he tightly clenched his hand on the escalator: "Oh, I suddenly feel that it's not so bad."

Xu Yinmei smiled: "Their cake tastes really good. I heard that you have a good relationship with that work-study student named Tang Xu. That child is quite polite."

I don't know where the parents heard what, but Ji Rong felt that there was something wrong with them going to see Tang Xu on purpose.

"What?" Ji Rong frowned.

Ji Yang saw Ji Rong's dissatisfaction: "We just care about who our son is with, what's your attitude?"

"Are you following Lin Ziyang's parents to investigate all his friends?" Ji Rong didn't like the feeling of being watched.

"Of course not. We just saw the photo you put in the room and asked that kid from the Wang family. That kid praised Tang Xu to the sky, so we went to see him." Ji Yang didn't care.

"What conclusion did you get?" Ji Rong knew that Wang Linhao was unreliable.

"Ji Rong, your parents don't object to making friends, but you and him won't be the same kind of people, so you have to be friends with a limit. You're a bit too far now." Ji Yang actually knew about Tang Xu's existence a long time ago. It's just that at that time they thought that Ji Rong's affairs would be handled by himself, and that multiple friends were better than multiple enemies. However, after observing it for the past few months, his son was too strange.

Ji Rong didn't speak any more, he exchanged deep glances with his father and went upstairs to his room.

Close the bedroom door, the dark room can not see clearly the furnishings in the house, Ji Rong went to the desk and sat down familiarly, turned on the desk lamp, there were photo frames of debates and outings on the table, although they were all group photos, but In several photos, Ji Rong was standing with Tang Xu, and Ji Rong went to the dessert shop almost every day during this period, which inevitably made people think too much.

Ji Rong has always known that his parents have high IQ and EQ, but he seems to have forgotten during this period that no matter how busy they are, they will find time to check his recent situation.

From that night onwards, Ji Rong rarely showed up at the dessert shop. Although Tang Xu was surprised, he didn't ask much. Tang Xu began to worry about how to arrange his winter vacation.

The mid-term exam of the third year of high school is also over, and the school has a few days off before getting the report card. Tang Xu has been working in the dessert shop for the past few days, but Tang Xu can feel that the other two colleagues are not very satisfied with this. Tang Xu originally wanted to pretend I didn't see it, but the business of the dessert shop is still not very busy during the day, and the idle time is quite long, Tang Xu feels very uncomfortable all over.

Tang Xu felt that staying like this was not an option, so he told Qian Yue to find another part-time job during the day, but Qian Yue didn't object, and the situation in the store was just like this, and it was quite difficult to pay one more salary if the performance was not improved.

So Tang Xu walked around the neighborhood a few times, but found that there were no recruitment shops. Originally, this area was a school, and the front shops were basically making money from students. Now that the school is going to be on holiday, the business is naturally bleak. There is no need to recruit workers at all.

Tang Xu thought about it for a while and discussed with Bai Liangshu and the other three, planning to find a part-time job in the urban area, where the part-time salary would be slightly higher. Although it takes a little time to come and go, it's okay for Tang Xu to get up early.

After agreeing this way, the four of them went to the city center together to have a look. Now that Tang Xu is a minor, there are many places where he can't enter, let alone work, so for Tang Xu, the first choice is restaurants, coffee shops and the like.

Tang Xu went to several restaurants because he was too thin and he was underage and refused to hire him. Tang Xu had no choice but to continue to search around. Li Yan kept comforting Tang Xu, telling him that the height was not wrong, the fault was his. This face was so tender that Tang Xu was speechless.

A few people stopped and went, and they finished shopping in one street in a while. They went in and asked four or five houses, but none of them wanted Tang Xu, which made Tang Xu very frustrated.

This day, Tang Xu didn't gain anything at all, and even Bai Liangshu and the others walked with him for a whole day. When they returned to the dormitory, they lay on the bed and didn't want to go anywhere. Tang Xu felt depressed. How will he spend his winter vacation when he arrives at work?

Tang Xu suddenly thought of something, and quickly climbed out of bed: "I'm going to the computer room." Before waiting for the other people to respond, he ran out quickly.

The school’s computer room closes at [-]:[-] p.m., so it was still open when Tang Xu went. When he found a vacant seat, Tang Xu searched various recruitment websites. There are many jobs on the website, but almost all of them require adults. Although child labor has not been strictly enforced in this era, those front shops in the city center are still very worried about getting into trouble. It seems to be okay to hire one or two, and Tang Xu, who is obviously a child, can only be avoided.

Either the recruitment website was not suitable for Tang Xu, or it was too far away. Tang Xu didn't even know where it was. Just when Tang Xu was about to give up, a message that urgently recruited part-time English translators came into his sight. It is a small foreign trade company, and age is not required, as long as the English pass can be translated without mistakes. Tang Xu suddenly regained his spirits, checked the work address, and found that it is not very far from the school. It only takes four or five stops by bus. can arrive.

The next day Tang Xu set off alone. Sitting on the bus and looking at the road scenery flashing by the window, he was in good spirits. Although his English was not tested for grades, and he had no direct conversations with foreigners, he was better than the ones he had seen. He has a lot of books and knows a lot of words. After studying with Ji Rong, he has almost no problems in daily communication and various complex words. Speaking of which, if he succeeds in the interview today, he would be most grateful to Ji Rong.

It seems that I haven't seen him for several days.

After getting off the bus, Tang Xu searched around. This is a commercial street. The high-rise buildings and buildings are full of traffic. People seem to be very busy. Tang Xu, who is fast, can't keep up with the speed. There are all kinds of companies here, and there are many The people also have.

After waiting for a long time, Tang Xu found the building with the help of the newspaper stand grandfather. Because it is a small foreign trade company, the company shares a building with many companies.

Standing at the door of the company on the tenth floor, Tang Xu took a deep breath, opened the door and walked in. There was a very beautiful young girl at the front desk. Seeing Tang Xu was very puzzled, but she still kept a polite smile: "Who are you looking for?"

"Uh, hello, I saw that your company is recruiting English translators, do you still need it?" Tang Xu was a little unsure.

This really scared the front desk, such a young child actually came to apply for an interpreter?Normal people would find this unreasonable, right?However, the recruitment matter had nothing to do with her, so the front desk still brought the person into the meeting room to inform the interviewer, and told him about the other party's situation.

I heard that there was a little doll, Yin Lianchang, who thought the front desk was joking, but he was dumbfounded as soon as he entered the meeting room. Whose family is this tender little guy in front of him?To tease him?

"Hello, I'm Tang Xu for the interview." Seeing that the person was a young man in his early twenties, Tang Xu quickly got up and nodded and smiled at him, pinching the hem of his clothes nervously.

Yin Lianchang came back to himself in embarrassment, and walked over to the meeting room door by the way: "Um, hello, how old are you this year?" The first sentence was to ask about your age.

"New Year's Sixteenth..." Tang Xu replied honestly.

"Although our recruitment information states that age is not required, you are... a bit too young..." Yin Lianchang was speechless. If the previous interpreter hadn't asked for a month off suddenly, they wouldn't have been in such a hurry to find an interpreter.

"I know, but I want to try." It was rare for Tang Xu to say such words.

"Oh? Then your English is very good? Did you grow up abroad before returning to China?"

"I am a freshman student of Dehui High School, and I have never been abroad."

"Dehui High School?!"

"kindness."

"Eh... the school is good, how about your English score, don't tell me that you dare to come for an interview if you only have a freshman level."

"The results are not bad."

"It's very modest, then I will test you and translate this document into English."

"Okay, thank you!"

"Thank you, thank you. If it doesn't work, go back to school and study hard for a few years before you come out."

"kindness!"

It is said that education and school are the stepping stones to work. Tang Xu didn't understand it before, but now he understands it. When he said the word Dehui, the person opposite was obviously surprised and shaken. Dehui's reputation is very loud. Equivalent to the status of some famous universities, Tang Xu was once again glad that he entered Dehui.
