Jiang Xiaoyuan sometimes feels that Qilian is like those archangels on TV who rescue the poor and ugly protagonists. How could he speak like that?
It's really a foul.
Previously, others held her in high regard and treated her extremely well, but Jiang Xiaoyuan never cherished her because adding icing on the cake was useless.
But now, with the harsh realities of the world and the ups and downs of human relationships, those who are willing to help her and provide her with timely assistance seem particularly warm. Jiang Xiaoyuan feels that she will never forget them for the rest of her life.
For example, Qilian, Mr. Chen, Lily... and even Sister Zhang.
Moreover, Qilian is different from those three because they belong to the categories of "dwarf", "girl", and "aunt" respectively. Even if they do the same thing, the psychological impact brought by a handsome guy is also different.
Although Jiang Xiaoyuan also knew that Qilian was not treating her so well for herself, it was mostly due to a sense of guilt about the car accident when she was young and reckless.
But she was still very moved.
Jiang Xiaoyuan gave a difficult sniff and wanted to be polite, but unfortunately, after much research, her words did not take shape. Instead, she blurted out in the end, "Do you have a reliable PPT template? My boss asked me to make a presentation for him
Jiang Xiaoyuan said this sentence. In the evening, while eating instant noodles and continuing to search for information in a hotel in a foreign land, she suddenly received a text message from Qilian.
Qilian: "First, apply for an email and send me the address
Jiang Xiaoyuan didn't give up hope at first because she found many templates online, but most of them were useless. It's impossible to make decent courseware based on templates. However, since they said so, she still applied for an email and sent it over.
Then she was stunned by Qilian.
Qilian sent her a huge folder, which almost overwhelmed the hotel's wireless network when downloading. Inside, several folders were classified according to different logical structures and report characteristics. Each folder contained one or two complete templates, and the layout was completed. Jiang Xiaoyuan only needed to copy and paste them, and fill in the text inside.
And as if worried that she wouldn't be flexible, Qilian filled in the notes on each page very thoroughly, not only clearly stating the purpose of the page, such as "concept statement", "unity of opposites", etc., but also indicating what type of content is suitable to be inserted and how many words can be inserted... He even considered the various technical problems that Jiang Xiaoyuan may encounter in the process of making courseware, and wrote down the modification and setting operation process step by step in a very foolish way.
Jiang Xiaoyuan: "..."
At this moment, even if someone piled up gold and silver mountains in front of her, it wouldn't be more touching than this template.
Jiang Xiaoyuan couldn't even digest instant noodles. She wanted to send a text message asking him if this thing was very thoughtful, but ended up typing lines and deleting them one by one - that's for sure, templates can accumulate slowly, but targeted instructions cannot be obtained elsewhere.
In the email, Qilian also wrote her a sentence: "There are always more solutions than problems," as if she had a keen eye and knew her current predicament.
Jiang Xiaoyuan's eyes were filled with tears as she watched it, and she once again engaged in a fierce struggle with her first ever courseware.
Halfway through the conversation, a summons call from Empress Dowager Chiang arrived, forcing Jiang Xiaoyuan to put aside her research and run over.
Jiang Bo said to her, "Let me explain tomorrow's work to you. Generally speaking, there's nothing to do tomorrow. I have to go to my friend's place in the morning and give some random lectures for his group of students. I won't bother with the theory anymore, and I'm too lazy to prepare. The main focus will be on the demonstration. I'm going to talk about elderly makeup, and you can demonstrate it to the model next to me, will you
Jiang Xiaoyuan: "..."
She is not even sure whether the so-called "elderly makeup" refers to "turning young people into elderly people" or "putting on makeup for the elderly".
Jiang Bo looked at her for two seconds and keenly noticed the confusion in her eyes. He frowned and said, "Forget it, let me do it
If he were to curse directly, Jiang Xiaoyuan wouldn't care much, but she was a little afraid of Jiang Bo frowning silently like this.
She had already noticed that Jiang Bo was a person with a bit of emotional outburst. If he was a little unhappy, he would shout out loud, and after shouting, everything would disappear.
But if he starts frowning, it's likely that he's taking it to heart - he's really not satisfied with her.
Jiang Xiaoyuan's heart was immediately weighed down by a heavy stone.
There's an interview this afternoon, I'll handle it, so you don't have to follow, "Jiang Bo said
This is actually called 'nothing tomorrow'.
Jiang Xiaoyuan is too desperate.
Empress Dowager Chiang: "By the way, have you finished the courseware I need for Friday's class? Show it to me
Jiang Xiaoyuan: "..."
Jiang Bo: "What
Still, there's still a bit to be done. We need to beautify it again, "Jiang Xiaoyuan stuttered." I'll give it to you when it's completely completed
Empress Dowager Chiang's expression remained dissatisfied, without even a smile on her face. After a silence of two seconds, she suddenly spoke up with a very serious tone, "Remember in the future, when you are entrusted with something, you should be more agile and not procrastinate in everything you do. Your foundation is already weak, and if you are not proactive in doing things, how can I keep you? Young people cannot do things like this outside
His tone was not intense, but his words became increasingly heavy.
Jiang Xiaoyuan is extremely aggrieved, but what else can she say? You can't tell your parents that she's not procrastinating, she just really doesn't know how to do it, right?
Jiang Bo sighed, feeling extremely uncomfortable because Jiang Xiaoyuan, the new assistant, didn't work out at all. She looked like a somewhat incompetent outsider, and he was simply spending money to cause trouble for himself. However, looking at her, he was also pitiful and couldn't bring himself to drive her away for a moment.
Never mind, "he thought expressionlessly," isn't the probation period just one month? I'll just endure it for a month. It's like doing good deeds every day
Alright, you can go first, "Jiang Bo said with a blank face, too lazy to get angry with Jiang Xiaoyuan. His expression was indifferent and aloof," Go to bed early today
That expression was like saying 'go die early today'.
Jiang Xiaoyuan was filled with sadness and slipped away against the wall.
She didn't know why someone like Jiang Bo would agree to come to their store and teach them these low-quality products. Looking back now, it might be a personal relationship of the big boss above, right?
Anyway, she severely overestimated herself and underestimated the level and expertise of Teacher Jiang. A gap that was beyond her reach now stood in front of her, and Jiang Xiaoyuan didn't know what she should do.
If she had been sensible, perhaps she should have voluntarily asked Jiang Bo to resign, instead of waiting for the probation period to expire and being rushed, as everyone's faces would not look good. However, she finally made up her mind to come to this point. If she had gone back and started over, could she still muster the courage to overturn all the memories of failure and start over again?
Taking a step back, even if she can muster the courage, will opportunities still wait for her?
Many people are smart and hardworking, but they may never be able to wait for a suitable opportunity in their lifetime, and can only helplessly sink in. Others may be lucky enough to wait for the opportunity they dream of, but they may face the dilemma of not being prepared for it. From this perspective, success may truly be a matter of timing, location, and people being indispensable.
It's too difficult.
Jiang Bo asked Jiang Xiaoyuan to rest, but she never dared to. She returned to her room dejectedly and accidentally saw her shadow in the dressing mirror at the door. She was shocked to find that there were dry lines at the corners of her eyes, and her face was not good at all. There was no blood in her eyes, and her gaze was dull, with blood streaks in her eyes, appearing completely opaque. She vaguely had the prototype of the legendary "yellow faced woman".
Beauty is so fragile. Even at the right age of youth, if you can't sleep well for a few days, your face will wither like a flower that hasn't been watered, at the speed of light.
Jiang Xiaoyuan quickly ran into the bathroom, turned on the cold water, and patted her cheeks, finally capturing a hint of blood color. She then tried very hard to smile at herself... The first attempt was unsuccessful, even uglier than crying.
She then closed her eyes, cleared her mind, quickly ignored the big stone pressing on her heart, took a deep breath, and tried to smile again.
Laughing like an idiot, "Jiang Xiaoyuan harshly evaluated herself in the mirror, turned around and walked away - no matter what she looked like, she felt much better and could withstand another round of life's devastation.
It is unlikely that something that is originally clueless will impress everyone at once. "Learning through practice" is certainly desirable, but this "learning" does not refer to zero foundation. Without Qilian's foolproof template that almost serves home, Jiang Xiaoyuan would probably waste the whole night on the confused issue of "where to start", not to mention making something reliable.
Qilian not only provided her with a template, but also helped her sort out the logical sequence. Jiang Xiaoyuan only needed to sort out what Jiang Bonan had taught in his lesson preparation book bit by bit, and then fill in the logical sequence... Of course, it was already not easy to just figure out what Jiang Bonan's incomprehensible abbreviations were.
Jiang Xiaoyuan realized for the first time that her poor academic performance back then was probably not entirely due to her love for playing and being vulgar, but also related to her innate intelligence.
This idea briefly plunged her into a low mood, but in less than five minutes, she came back to life - Jiang Xiaoyuan remembered that she had been the top scorer in this time and space.
Zhuangyuan, is that just a joke?
So her intelligence must have just fallen asleep, it's not non-existent.
After realizing this, Jiang Xiaoyuan poured herself into it like a chicken's blood again - she imagined her "sleeping" intelligence as the legendary "Ren Du Er Mai". Once activated and connected in the future, she would immediately be invincible and sweep through thousands of armies. Just by imagination, she felt like she had taken a sip of spiritual opium, filled with endless power for no reason.
Unconsciously, Jiang Xiaoyuan sat motionless in place for over four hours. Apart from being forced to use the restroom once due to a physiological emergency, she had almost become a statue that remained motionless like a mountain.
At almost half past one in the early morning of the next day, she completed her first complete courseware work in her life, which looked surprisingly good at first glance - although Jiang Xiaoyuan knew in her heart that this superficial goodness was also thanks to Qilian.
Jiang Xiaoyuan was exhausted and collapsed in a chair, leaving her brain empty and not yet overwhelmed by drowsiness.
Then, under the guidance of her spacious and open mind, she inexplicably picked up her phone and sent Qilian a a message: "The courseware is finished, thank you, I will definitely treat you to dinner when I go back
After sending it, she realized she was sick. It's already this hour, so she must have gone to bed early.
Jiang Xiaoyuan browsed through her works from beginning to end, filled with an indescribable sense of achievement. Finally, she made some minor revisions and recorded all the parts she didn't quite understand. She planned to delve deeper and find some books to read - many things from Baidu are too superficial, and sometimes the statements are different, which looks unreliable.
After finishing all of this, she was so exhausted that she didn't wash her face or change her clothes. She climbed onto the bed and went to sleep, feeling a premonition that she would be a brand new yellow faced woman the next day.
At this moment, her remote control phone rang out, and Jiang Xiaoyuan was surprised. She took it over and saw that Qilian had actually returned to her.
Qilian: "That's good, call me if you need anything. Good night
In the middle of the night, someone said a few words to her, and Jiang Xiaoyuan was inexplicably moved.
Then she found out that this person didn't say anything nonsense like 'go to bed early' or 'don't be so tired', which made her even more moved.
She leaned against the pillow, groggy and moved for a while, before she could fall asleep, she suddenly flipped over like a corpse.
Jiang Xiaoyuan reopened Jiang Bo's computer and manually erased her browsing history - this was her only computer skill that she was proficient in, which she had practiced during her sophomore year of middle school to watch mindless variety shows and compete with her private tutor.
I can't let Empress Dowager Chiang see that I don't know anything, "Jiang Xiaoyuan thought with such ambition.
This time, she fell asleep with her head on the pillow and had no dreams all night.
The next morning, Jiang Xiaoyuan was startled by her personal image of being able to make a cameo appearance in Resident Evil. Fortunately, Jiang Bo's toolbox was in her hands, and she hurriedly borrowed some and applied a pink makeup that was ten miles from the spring breeze to herself. After applying it, she was not very satisfied - her eyes were too tired and didn't match at all.
But there was no time for her to make any changes, so Jiang Xiaoyuan had to reluctantly put on a spirited look, ready to face the new day of battle.
Empress Dowager Chiang was radiant, like a queen who was right in everything except for her gender. She walked through the hotel lobby as if no one was around and walked towards the door to pick him up.
Jiang Xiaoyuan carried his computer and tools, running unsteadily like a bean sprout holding a dumbbell.
Jiang Xiaoyuan: "Teacher, I have finished the courseware you need to use on Friday. When will you take a look
What are you looking at now? "Empress Dowager Jiang gave her a disdainful look
Jiang Xiaoyuan: "... Oh
Others don't care whether she stayed overnight or not. Sometimes, her efforts alone are just one person's, and to others, they are nothing.
Yeah, there's not even a witness, "Jiang Xiaoyuan thought silently.
However, the continuous setbacks in the past few days have made her a bit numb, and Jiang Xiaoyuan is not as sad as she imagined. She tidied up her glass heart with fresh blood, and with a flamboyant and tired face, prepared to attend Jiang Bo's class.
After searching online the night before, she found out that "senior makeup" was actually a type of special effects makeup, belonging to the basic introductory nature, which was perfect for her to learn. She definitely couldn't miss this opportunity to observe up close.
