Surprise! The top graduates from Peking University and Tsinghua University are actually supported by
Chapter 21 Auditions Begin
The English oral practice continued. This time when she returned home, she practiced facial expression management in front of the mirror and it was quite effective. She demonstrated it to Yang Wenjun and Meng Jie, and they both clapped excitedly like seals.
"Xiao Jie, you are so powerful! You can definitely break through!"
"That's right, there's absolutely nothing to complain about. By the way, can this competition be watched on TV?" Meng Jie wanted to watch the show in real time to support her friend.
"No, this is just an audition. If I can make it to the finals, I don't know if there will be a live broadcast of the event."
The two were disappointed for a moment after hearing this, but then expressed their belief that she would definitely pass. If such an excellent speech couldn't even pass an audition, there must be something fishy going on.
After two peaceful weeks, Yi Jie asked for half a day's leave from school. Lao He knew that Yi Jie was going to participate in a competition, so he let her go after giving her a few words of advice.
Her aunt and uncle had been waiting for her at home for a long time. Yi Chen had been sent to her grandmother's house to stay for two days. This time it was for serious business. Yi Chen also understood that he was not going there for fun, so he cooperated with the arrangements obediently.
It was already dinner time when they arrived in H City. They had dinner and booked rooms near the competition venue. Because of the competition, all the hotels were fully booked. In the end, they chose a relatively clean and tidy hotel among the crowd and booked two rooms.
My aunt concluded that she had never had this kind of experience before and would book a room in advance next time. My uncle joked, "Beibei didn't give us this opportunity either."
The aunt said unhappily, "You are not my son, you have no ambition at all."
After hearing this, my uncle smiled innocently, "It's enough to have experience now. Let's clean up quickly and let Xiaojie practice some time, and then go to bed early."
Next to Yi Jie's room was a student who came to participate in the competition accompanied by his parents. Her aunt chatted with him for a while, asked him a lot of things to pay attention to, and passed them on to Yi Jie, asking her to pay more attention. Even though she had seen it in advance on the Internet, she was still touched by her aunt's kindness. She must pass the audition tomorrow!
At eight o'clock in the morning, after preparing all the necessary things, the three of them rushed to the competition venue.
A large crowd had gathered at the entrance of the venue. They were students and their parents who came to participate in the competition.
After waiting for about 20 minutes, a staff member came out with a loudspeaker to maintain order: "Competitors, please line up in an orderly manner and enter the venue from Gate A in turn. Other irrelevant people should stay away first."
Aunt and uncle took the opportunity to give Yi Jie a few words of encouragement and urged her to queue up.
Yi Jie was at the end of the line. Before entering the venue, everyone needed to draw a number ball, and the number they drew would determine their order of appearance.
Yi Jie drew the number 154, which was in the middle. As far as she knew, there were about 350 contestants in the competition. She estimated that she would have to wait for several hours before it was her turn. Compared with those at the end of the line who had to wait for a day, she was already lucky.
There was a waiting area in the venue, and Yi Jie found a seat and sat down.
A small group of boys and girls sat next to her. One boy who looked talkative asked Yi Jie which school she was from because she was pretty.
When everyone heard that Yi Jie came from Mingde High School, there was a hint of contempt in their eyes. They thought that this school, which they had never heard of, was nothing to be afraid of.
One of the girls, who looked very proud, glanced at Yi Jie and said, "I guess most of the places for the breakout contestants in this competition will be taken by our school. Sigh, it's really not challenging."
Yi Jie noticed the other party's expression and didn't want to dwell on it too much. After all, there are always so many mediocre people in the world who think they are so powerful but are actually just frogs in a well.
Yi Jie was silently memorizing the script to avoid making mistakes, and she ignored the noise around her. Seeing that she didn't say anything, the people around her stopped making trouble for themselves.
At about eleven o'clock, the staff asked Yi Jie to get ready. Yi Jie took a deep breath and strode in with her head held high.
A few minutes later, it was Yi Jie's turn to speak. She put away the manuscript in her hand, lifted the curtain and walked onto the podium. There were five judges sitting in front of her. Yi Jie greeted them politely and began her speech: "Good morning everybody! It's my honor to speak here, and I am very glad to share my topic with you. Then today I'd like to talk about something about...OK, thank you for listening, that's all."
Yi Jie was calm and confident throughout the entire speech. She spoke without a script and there was no lag. The future topics she talked about were detailed and novel. She was in a very calm and composed state. Several judges nodded to each other and gave her high scores of more than 9.5 points.
The breakthrough standard of the audition is that the average score reaches 9 points or above, which means it means being shortlisted. Yi Jie was obviously selected. She excitedly received the promotion card from the judges, thanked them in English, and walked out of the venue briskly.
Ignoring the surprised looks of the people sitting around her, she only wanted to get out and tell her family the good news as soon as possible.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing mission six. The reward has been issued. Please check it carefully."
Yi Jie walked out of the venue happily. Her aunt and uncle noticed her and waved to her. Yi Jie trotted over and showed them the promotion card in her hand.
The two were very surprised. "Let's go to a restaurant to celebrate. Xiaojie can choose whatever she wants to eat!" The uncle was very proud, as if he had won a prize, and the aunt let him do what he wanted.
After eating and drinking, the three of them went to the hotel to pack their things and drove home. On the way, they picked up Yi Chen who was watching the anti-Japanese drama with his grandpa at his grandmother's house.
It is worth mentioning that when her grandparents knew that she was selected for the competition, they gave Yi Jie a big red envelope. Yi Jie couldn't even refuse it, so she had to accept it. She secretly looked at it in the car and saw that there were 666 yuan. Yi Jie smiled with her big teeth showing. It felt so good to receive the red envelope!
I called my mother to tell her the good news. She was also very happy on the other end. She asked Yi Jie what she wanted and asked her to bring it home for her during the New Year.
Of course, Yi Jie was reluctant to let her mother save money to buy a gift for her, and she just said that she had everything she needed and just wanted her mother to come back early. Zhang Peiyao felt relieved, her daughter was the best.
The top three selection competition was during the winter vacation, and there were about three months to prepare. She was rewarded with an experience of systematic real-life English oral training, which was really a good thing to hone her spoken English.
Yi Jie chose the simplest oral training on ordering food, and was directly placed in a foreign restaurant. Yi Jie finally completed the training and left the scene. Although she usually had good English grades, she was far behind in this kind of actual practice.
Next, make time to train every day. In real-life training, the flow rate of time outside is 1:10, so there is no need to worry about not having enough time.
Finally, there was only one long-term task left. Yi Jie was just about to take a break to catch her breath when Chi Chi seemed to notice her thoughts and quickly issued three tasks:
Mission Nine: Master all the knowledge points of politics, history and geography in high school. Even if you choose science, you cannot fall behind in other courses. There is a final exam waiting for the host in the second year of high school. The time limit is 150 days. If you fail, 3000 energy points will be deducted. If you succeed, you will be rewarded with the Eye of Wisdom item, which can see through the surface of events and get to the essence. It can be used three times.
Task 100: Preview all the knowledge of Grade 2000 Mathematics within days. If you fail, energy points will be deducted. If you succeed, you will be rewarded with a one-on-one panoramic course of Grade Mathematics from a famous teacher.
Task 100: Be selected as one of the top three in the province in the Elite Cup Speech Contest. Time limit is 2000 days. Failure will result in a deduction of energy points. Success will result in a reward of any language proficiency title, which is valid permanently.
Eating never gives me a day to rest, Yi Jie complained.
"Learning is a journey of hardship, so please keep a positive attitude, host."
"Yes, yes, I know!"
After the next goals were determined, Yi Jie finally had time to manage her Weibo. Since the release of the two vlogs, she received many requests from fans every day for updates. Yi Jie could only post text messages at school to appease them.
Today she has time to shoot a video, and she plans to make it as long as possible. As usual, she shoots a homework vlog, and this time she adds a lot of new elements, such as cute water cups, energy-replenishing snacks, and various useful and beautiful stationery.
I hope these things can attract the attention of fans, so that subsequent sales will be guaranteed.
In her lifestyle vlog, she chose to record the process of braiding her hair. She now has long, shiny black hair, which is very suitable for various styles.
Too complicated hairstyles are not suitable for most people. The high top of the head and half-high ponytail style is very popular in later generations. The fluffy effect of the top of the head and the half-high ponytail style make people look youthful and energetic, and also make the face look smaller.
The props needed were just two rubber bands and a few U-shaped clips, which Yi Jie had. However, this video required showing her face and speaking, so Yi Jie was hesitant at first. But then she thought that she had already appeared on the show, so it didn't matter if her own account was included.
Yi Jie has done this style many times before, so it was very easy to shoot. She recorded each step in great detail, striving to ensure that everyone who watches the video can learn it.
After shooting the two videos, Yi Jie spent several hours carefully editing them and released the homework vlog that evening, which attracted a lot of fans.
Xiao Zhang is a baby: I waited until Xiao Jie posted an update. Do you know how I have been living for the past ten years?
My brother looked at me and said: This notebook looks very useful! Does anyone know where to buy one?
Xiaoxiao: I like this water cup! Please tell me the link!
An ordinary cute ghost: I love everything Xiaojie uses, even the correction fluid is the same. PS: Xiaojie’s hands are so beautiful!
……
After reading the comments, Yi Jie found that everyone was paying attention to the things she used as expected. It was worth it that she had been looking for good things everywhere during this period of time. Now she was just waiting for the merchants to come to her and seek cooperation. If she couldn't wait, she would have to sell the products herself.
Before that, you have to register a Taobao account, which makes it easier to connect with promotion and gives you a wider range of product choices. Yi Jie spent half an hour registering Taobao and Alipay accounts.
Because she is a minor, there is a limit on purchases, and she has to use her mother's ID card to register a new account, but there will be no problem with her selecting products in the future.
Fortunately, Yijie was lucky. The next morning when she opened her Weibo, she found a user named Tuanzi had sent her a private message: Hello baby Yijie, I have some high-quality stationery here, can you help promote it?
Yi Jie: Sure, but I need to select the products in advance. You can send me samples first and I will see which ones to recommend.
Tuanzi replied quickly: Okay, let’s add QQ to contact each other.
Yi Jie gave Tuanzi the delivery address of the school guard room through a friend request, and explained that she was a student. The other party also said that she understood.
Yi Jie learned that her company's promotional price is calculated based on the click-through rate. If the video click-through rate reaches 500, it will be 1000, will be , and so on. The commission will be settled every two days and transferred to Alipay.
The data of Yi Jie's account is still good. Her latest video was released just one night and it has already received 40,000 views, so she can accept this pricing method.
She called her mother and asked her to help her register an Alipay account and log in to her mobile phone. After Zhang Peiyao asked the reason in detail, she got the account without saying a word. Her daughter is a person with her own ideas, and Zhang Peiyao believes that she will not do anything rash.
Yi Jie didn't expect everything to go so smoothly, maybe she was possessed by a koi fish recently.
After the second video was released, Yi Jie stopped paying attention to Weibo and returned to school.
That night I found out that my video had been topped and many beauty influencers had reposted it. No wonder my reputation value has increased a lot today, reaching the 30 threshold.
The hot search question "How much influence does a high forehead have on one's appearance" also emerged, and Yi Jie once again led the trend.
In just a few days, all the students knew that Yi Jie had passed the audition successfully.
One day in English class, Teacher Fu asked Yi Jie to go on stage and reenact her speech, praising her highly. It was impossible for the classmates not to know about Yi Jie's successful breakthrough.
However, everyone has long been accustomed to Yi Jie's status of always being far ahead. When someone is only slightly better than you, you will be jealous and compare with her. But when she is far better than you, all you can do is look up to her.
This is the case for Jiang Yuan. In fact, only about three months have passed. She no longer has the energy to compete with Yi Jie, and she cannot catch up with her even if she tries.
In the third monthly exam, Yi Jie still took the first place in the grade, and no one was surprised.
The name for Teacher Yi Jieyi also changed to Yishen, and it was some boys who started calling her that first, probably using the name of the great god in the game.
Chi Chi didn't give any reward this time. Yi Jie asked it why. Chi Chi told her that unless it was an exam of special significance or a major exam, no tasks would be issued, so naturally there would be no rewards. It was really a carefully calculated system!
