A Girl Conquers the World Through Her Tears

Chapter 20

Lin's Father almost slammed on the brakes in surprise.

"Oral exam? What oral exam?" he asked nervously.

Lin's Mother was also very surprised: "I've never heard you mention an oral exam before?"

Lin Jianzhi blinked: "Ah? Didn't I say so? The major I want to apply for requires an oral foreign language exam."

Lin's Mother: "So you mean, even though you haven't finished the college entrance exam, there's still another exam?"

Lin Jianzhi: "Yes, that's right. The oral exam is very important and will determine my choice of major in the future."

Lin's Father rubbed his head in distress: "Tough, tsk!"

At dinner they had rice porridge, and her parents didn't dare keep her out for long, wanting her to go home and practice oral language.

As soon as Lin Jianzhi got home, she locked herself in her room.

She hid under the quilt, holding her phone, and opened Zhu Liheng's chat box.

'Lin Jianzhi: I've checked everything I know how to do, no problems, and I've also tried answering what I don't know.'

'Zhu Liheng: For the oral exam, take a look at the file I sent you with the things that need to be prepared and the practice methods for these three days.'

'Lin Jianzhi: Okay!'

After that, she didn't know what else to say.

She had a belly full of words she wanted to say but didn't know how to start or dare to start.

Zhu Liheng didn't send any more messages either, and the chat box fell silent.

On the other hand, the class group next door was exploding!

【Class 2 Senior 3 of Jingyi No.1 Middle School】

'Lang Shu: @All let's have an all-nighter tonight!'

'Mu Yin: I can't, my parents don't agree!'

'Jiang Jingyi: All-nighter! All-nighter!'

'Quan Kaiji: @Mu Yin sneak out, why are they still keeping such a tight rein when the exam is over?'

'Mu Yin: I have to be home before 10 pm!'

'Lang Shu: Can the rest have an all-nighter? Hit 1 if you can come! I'll organize it, we must have a blast!'

A stream of '1's started flooding the screen.

'Mu Yin: I'm crying! Am I the only one who can't have an all-nighter? Ahhhh!'

'Lang Shu: @Lin Jianzhi come out! Lin Jianzhi answer up!'

'Mu Yin: @Lin Jianzhi can you bring Zhu Liheng?'

'Lang Shu: Sounds perfect!'

'Lin Jianzhi: I have to practice oral language, I have an oral exam in three days.'

'Lang Shu: ???'

'Mu Yin: ???'

'Jiang Jingyi: ???'

'Quan Kaiji: Kick Lin Jianzhi out!'

'Lin Jianzhi: I’ll definitely have an all-nighter with you guys after I finish the exam!'

The other students were still fooling around, but most were just sighing that the exam was finally over and they were free now. Lin Jianzhi's little interjection did not cause too many ripples.

Only a few people contacted her privately to ask about it.

After Lin Jianzhi gave them a simple explanation, she started opening the materials Zhu Liheng had given her and began practicing long oral readings and Q&As.

Over these three days, she had to develop an absolute sense for the language.

Zhu Liheng had even provided specific practice plans in the materials.

As a result, when classmates sent her messages, her voice replies were pure English.

When her parents called her for meals or to talk, she would also reflexively reply in English.

Lin Jianzhi had practiced herself into a frenzy!

Forget about developing an absolute sense for the language, she was almost forgetting Chinese grammar.

After three straight days immersed in this endless English environment, Lin Jianzhi was almost numb on exam day, her heart a dead calm.

On the contrary, her parents were very nervous. Since the exam site was in another location, her parents drove her there.

All the way, Lin's Father's foot on the gas pedal kept shaking.

Lin's Mother kept frequently turning back to look at her daughter.

They were both very clear about Lin Jianzhi’s situation. What oral exam? What if she breaks down crying in the exam venue?

It was said that in addition to testing oral proficiency, the oral exam also scored psychological composure.

When Lin's Mother asked her a question in Chinese, Lin Jianzhi blankly responded in English.

Lin's Mother couldn't understand at all, so she had to turn her head away to avoid the attempt at communication.

When they arrived at the exam site and watched Lin Jianzhi walk in, Lin's Father and Lin's Mother started chatting with nearby parents, asking about the specifics of this oral exam.

They had never heard of an oral exam as part of the college entrance examination process before this.

The parents at the door were also very enthusiastic and immediately started a conversation.

"The oral exam! It's required for some special majors at prestigious universities!"

"My son wants to be a diplomat. He learned two foreign languages and chose one oral exam language."

"My child wants to major in translation, which is also quite difficult!"

"......"

The parents took turns talking and also asked Lin's Father and Lin's Mother.

"What major does your child want? Which university?"

Lin’s Father and Lin’s Mother were stumped by the question!

Seeing that the two couldn't answer, the parent who said his son wanted to be a diplomat arrogantly said, "My son is going to test for B University!"

The surrounding parents immediately flocked over and barrage them with questions.

"Your son's grades must be very good, right?"

"What's his estimated score?"

"For B University’s diplomacy major, the requirement for the foreign language score is at least 140, right? "

The parent waved his hand: "It's not that high, just an estimated 141."

There were sounds of disbelief all around, full of envy.

Lin's Father was a little unwilling to admit inferiority. He quietly asked Lin's Mother, "How much is our daughter's estimated score?"

Lin’s Mother: “She was busy practicing oral language, I was afraid it would affect her mood so I didn't ask her to estimate her score!”

Lin’s Father lost his courage to show off in front of the parents and pulled Lin’s Mother to stand in the corner without saying a word.

Across the street in a car.

Zhu Liheng was sitting in the back seat, glancing back without paying further attention, his head lowered handling documents.

In the driver's seat and passenger seat, Yu E and Ruan Tang were chatting more.

Yu E: "Is 141 very high? Don't diplomacy majors have requirements for foreign language scores?"

Ruan Tang: “It’s considered high, but I think little sister can easily exceed that score."

Zhu Liheng frowned: "Don't call her randomly."

Ruan Tang: “Oh, Sister Zhu.”

Zhu Liheng closed his laptop: “She's my younger sister.”

Yu E: "Hahaha!"

Ruan Tang: “Fine by me, I'm older than both of you anyway."

Inside the oral exam venue.

Lin Jianzhi was sitting in the hallway with other exam candidates, one person per seat.

No belongings were allowed in the oral exam venue other than the admission ticket.

While waiting to enter the venue, there were also serious security personnel patrolling the hallway, one every few meters.

Candidates were not allowed to converse in the hallways while waiting to enter.

Lin Jianzhi was the fifth candidate in this exam venue. She had an early number and was called in quickly.

Ever since she came in, she had spaced herself out, trying hard to restrain her nervousness under the solemn atmosphere.

If it was unbearable, she would take out the last question from her math test and rework it through logical deduction again.

Math is something that can make her completely calm down.

Soon, the security personnel came over to check her admission ticket and then led her to an exam room inside.

The small room was not big. Inside were two senior officials: a chief invigilator and another person recording something in the corner.

After Lin Jianzhi entered, she did not forcibly make herself smile. She simply greeted them and sat down.

Zhu Liheng’s instructions were that if smiling was difficult for her, she need not force herself, in case her smile turned out uglier than crying and deducted impression points.

The chief invigilator had piercing eyes with oppressive force as he stared at her. He gave her a passage to read aloud.

The oral exam started!

Lin Jianzhi did not meet the chief invigilator’s gaze. She quickly glanced over the entire article and started reading out loud.
