Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 12: Job Selection
Time flies by like a white horse.

Soon it was the day for Lin Yuan to start his job.

The first thing Lin Yuan did when he entered the selection process was to pick out the students for the gold medal class.

Yan Ziyou and another student tied for eighth place, so Lin Yuan naturally eliminated him.

It's not just because of Tian Yulan.

Yan Ziyou's test paper was not at an advantage either.

Another student solved the last two difficult questions, but he made mistakes in calculating the previous questions due to carelessness. On the other hand, Yan Ziyu didn't even have any idea of ​​how to solve the last two questions.

He carefully checked the list of students and handed it to Manager Cui after confirming that it was correct.

After contacting the students’ parents one by one, Lin Yuan’s gold medal class will officially start.

……

the other side.

Tian Yulan had just been tricked by Nan Li at work and was very annoyed.

She walked back home with heavy steps. When she opened the door, she saw Yan Ziyou fiddling with his broken ant again. She shouted angrily, "Have you finished your homework? Why are you playing with it before you finish it? You spent all the pocket money I gave you on those disgusting things, and you still treat them as treasures. How can you pass the imperial examination if you play with these things? Sooner or later, I will throw them away for you. You are so old, but you have no self-awareness at all."

Listening to her mother's endless reproaches, a trace of fear and grievance flashed across Yan Ziyou's face, and she could only weakly reply, "There's not much homework today, just copying in Book 1 and correcting in Book 2."

Tian Yulan frowned, her expression full of seriousness, and said, "What about the homework? Show me the math Olympiad homework."

Yan Ziyou explained: "Today's numerical placement test results came out, and the teacher didn't give any homework."

His voice sounded a little nervous, as if he was worried that his mother would be angry because he didn't have homework.

When Tian Yulan heard this, she immediately asked, "How did you do in the exam?"

Her eyes were full of anticipation and her body leaned forward unconsciously.

"Another classmate and I tied for eighth place." Yan Ziyu answered softly, with a hint of uneasiness in his tone. He didn't know whether his mother would be satisfied with this result.

"Really? Then there will be no problem getting into the gold medal class!" Tian Yulan's face instantly blossomed with surprise. She held up Yan Ziyu's chubby face and said excitedly: "Son, if you get into the gold medal class, you will have hope."

After all, there were always ten places in the gold medal class in the past. In her opinion, Yan Ziyu's eighth place should be a safe bet.

At this time, Tian Yulan didn't know that there were only eight places in the gold medal class and that the teacher of the gold medal class was Lin Yuan. She was still immersed in joy.

She couldn't help but kiss her son on the chubby face and said to herself, "I knew my son would be fine. He's smart, obedient, hardworking, and handsome. Don't do your homework. Just play for a while."

At this moment, a gleam of light flashed in Yan Ziyou's eyes, and he asked expectantly: "Mom, can I go down and play football for a while?"

Tian Yulan ignored her son's wish and decisively refused: "Forget about playing football. You'll sweat all over and won't be able to concentrate when you come back. You still have to memorize words before bed. Just read some extracurricular books or watch some TV."

Yan Ziyou looked at Tian Yulan's back as she turned and left. The light of hope that had just ignited in his eyes was instantly extinguished, replaced by a look of despair.

He didn't understand why he couldn't always do what he wanted to do and why his mother always controlled his life so strictly.

……

Nan Li's family and Tian Yulan's family reunited at a family dinner hosted by Nan Jianlong on Friday. Nan Jianlong is Nan Li's father, and he had divorced his ex-wife Zhao Na on the eve of Nan Li's college entrance examination.

Shortly after the divorce, Nan Jianlong quickly married Cai Juying.

From then on, Tian Yulan followed her mother Cai Juying into Nan Jianlong's home.

It is precisely because of this reconstituted family that the relationship between Nan Li and Tian Yulan has never been harmonious.

It was only because of their parents' relationship that they had to eat together at the same table.

Every time there was a gathering at Nan Jianlong's house, Cai Juying was busy running around, serving tea and pouring water, and never had a moment to rest.

Nan Jianlong and Nan Li's family were leisurely sipping tea, chatting, and waiting for the food to be ready.

This made Tian Yulan, who felt sorry for her mother, even more indignant.

Especially this time, Cai Juying was scolded by Nan Jianlong like a child because she accidentally spilled tea while pouring it. Nan Li just looked at him coldly with a hint of disdain at the corner of her mouth.

Nan Li's subtle expression hurt Tian Yulan even more.

Thinking about the things that happened in his child's study and his work in recent days, both of which were played tricks by Nan Li, he made up his mind to get back at his child with his study.

"Actually, I didn't have high hopes. Just imagine that there were dozens of kids with excellent grades taking the exam together. And the gold medal class only accepts ten students, and they are all the best of the best. I didn't expect this kid to do well in the exam, ranking eighth. How lucky."

"This Mathematical Olympiad requires logical thinking. The children who can enter the gold medal class are all smart. If your intelligence is a little bit lacking, you will not be able to keep up."

Tian Yulan began to proudly show off Yan Ziyu's test scores.

Yan Peng reminded quietly: "That's enough."

"That's great, Ziyou. When you get into the gold medal class, grandpa will buy you the gift you want most." Nan Jianlong praised casually, then pointed to the teacup in front of him and changed the subject: "This tea is not ordinary. It is brewed with traditional techniques. The taste is different. You can all taste it."

Seeing that the topic was changed, Tian Yulan was not annoyed. After a slight pause, she continued to ask: "What class did Huanhuan sign up for outside?"

Over the years, the only thing that allowed her to surpass Nan Li was her child's academic performance, and she would not miss this opportunity.

Xia Junshan had no choice but to reply: "We signed up for vocal music classes and extracurricular tutoring classes for hosts. Huanhuan said she wanted to be a singer and host when she grows up."

Tian Yulan poured cold water on him at the right time: "This child's idea is naive. The path of literature and art is much more difficult than studying. The admission threshold of art schools is so high every year. Even if you get in by chance, how many people can really become famous?"

Tian Yulan's words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly making the atmosphere awkward.

On the surface, the satire is directed at Xia Huanhuan, but in reality it is belittling Xia Junshan and Nan Li.

Nan Li sat there, not even looking up, still flipping through the pages of the book, and said calmly, "As long as she likes it, I don't expect her to become famous or have a family. Besides, it's rare for a person to find something they love and work hard for it their whole life."

Tian Yulan's expression was full of concern, and she pretended to be kind and said, "Nan Li, are you really not going to enroll your child in Mathematical Olympiad?"

Nan Li answered without hesitation: "We are studying windsurfing and we are not going to compete in the Imperial Academy, so why should we sign up for the Mathematical Olympiad?"

"It's also helpful for daily study! Why don't you enroll your child in an advanced class?" Tian Yulan said with a stronger tone, "It's not a good thing to always rank last in exams."
