After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 176 Ning Yuhan, Disciple Selection

Xu Lin returned home around 10 o'clock.

After taking a quick shower, Xu Lin returned to his computer desk to get back to work.

Command: How many people have been selected?

Student Xu: 103 people!
Instruction: Let's leave it at that for now, no more filtering.

Xu Lin felt that 103 was not a small number, so he would see what level these 103 people were at and whether they could meet his requirements.

Instruction: Please help me compile these 103 people into one group.

The summary was completed quickly.

Xu Lin also asked his classmate Xu to download the videos of all 103 people to his local computer.

This time it was Xu Lin's turn to watch the videos, each one lasting more than a minute and a half.

Actually, you don't need to watch all of them. Xu Lin can understand the situation after watching some videos for ten or twenty seconds. Only for the most outstanding ones will Xu Lin linger longer.

Actually, the preliminary screening that Xu Lin asked his classmate to do wasn't too strict; it was just a relatively simple screening. Otherwise, Xu Lin wouldn't have had a chance to play.

For the next hour or so, Xu Lin watched videos.

It must be said that thanks to Xu's preliminary screening, more than half of the 103 people in this competition have good looks, or even above average. Of course, not everyone is good-looking. As the saying goes, when God closes a door, he opens a window. All-rounders are naturally rare. Some contestants have excellent singing skills, but their looks are just average. There's nothing that can be done about it. In the past, there were many such examples in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Many god-level contestants sang very well, but because of their ordinary appearance, they couldn't reach the top or remained lukewarm. However, Xu only considers looks. If someone's voice is really outstanding or they sing really well, their looks can be considered a little less.

Xu Lin first conducted a rigorous screening of the 103 people, eliminating 76 of them.

The remaining 27 people need to be screened further.

In the end, only 5 people remained.

"No, we need to eliminate some more!"

Xu Lin continued the selection process, and finally only two people remained.

One man and one woman; the man is comparable to Nicholas Tse.

This surprised Xu Lin, because Xie Ting was like a hexagonal warrior, with good looks, a good voice, and good skills, making him a very suitable contestant to debut.

And the other girl? She's the sweet type, like Cyndi Wang.

She also has a great appearance, and in reality she could be called a goddess. In terms of physical attributes, her voice is excellent, but her singing skills are a bit lacking. However, in Xu Lin's opinion, singing skills are something that can be developed and trained, so it's not a big problem.

Of the remaining five people, Xu Lin selected two to enter the disciple class, and kept the other three to see if they could be developed further, perhaps with some unexpected results.

"The discipleship program is still short three people."

Xu Lin asked his classmate to continue filtering from the newly added friends. There were still three people missing. Xu Lin felt that he could finish in the next few days, and he was willing to wait.

As for those who didn't pass, there are several thousand people in total.

Xu Lin asked his classmate Xu to reply with a message that essentially said the other party was unqualified.

This time, Xu Lin didn't give a uniform reply. Instead, he had Xu Tongxue reply to each one individually in a very humane way. Each reply was different, and he even pointed out their strengths and weaknesses. If you didn't know better, you would think that a real person was replying to them, but that wasn't the case.

Then Xu Lin posted a new message on Xiaohongshu.

Content: Two of the five spots in the discipleship program have been successfully filled, leaving three more to be filled. The selection process will be quite rigorous, but successful applicants will receive personal training from me free of charge. Applicants must be between 18 and 30 years old, regardless of gender. We encourage you to apply!
"Hey, I applied, but I didn't get accepted!"

"I didn't pass either, but the big boss's assistant gave me a heartwarming reply, and even pointed out my strengths and weaknesses. I almost cried."

"Me too. I was also told my strengths and weaknesses. Although I was rejected, I was very touched and felt very warm."

"Sir, I just turned sixteen, can I sign up?"

Soon, many netizens responded.

Xu Lin answered some of the questions, such as whether those under the age of eighteen could apply, to which he replied no, unless they were already in college, because most people are in their first year of college and are generally eighteen years old, and there are relatively few people in the sixteen or seventeen age range.

Xu Lintong replied: "Going to university is fine, but if you're still in high school, focus on your studies. This is the most brilliant time of your life, don't think about going into the entertainment industry, that kind of corrupting influence."

"Your reply is so heartwarming."

"Xu Dada is from Jiangdu University of Finance and Economics, and he's a top student. We're telling you to focus on your studies. You're so young, why are you thinking so much?"

"The entertainment industry is not a place for ordinary people. In fact, the entertainment industry and the college entrance examination are essentially the same. Both are like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. However, if you do poorly on the college entrance examination, you can still go to a junior college and find a job after graduation. But the entertainment industry is different. Only a small number of people can stand out. We can only see the glamorous screen stars, but we don't see the vast majority of unknown people playing minor roles. Some people may say that so-and-so star used to be an extra and is now so-and-so. But have you thought about those who did not make it? In the entertainment industry, there are many people who start with dreams and passion, but later have to leave the circle with resentment and return to being ordinary people who cannot find a decent job. There are many such people, but the camera never pays attention to them."

The discussion under Xu Lin's post was very lively.

He spent more than half an hour replying to a lot of comments, and it was almost 2 a.m. by then.

Xu Lin then simply uploaded a video of himself sleeping.

Time comes the next day.

1 month 5 number.

Today was a sunny day, and Xu Lin drove his electric scooter back to school.

In early January, all courses for all grades in the school had been completed, and the school had entered the review week. Some grades and colleges had already started their college exams. Xu Lin also had two subjects to take college exams in a few days, which were college-level exams. In addition, there was the unified school exam for the entire freshman class later on.

Where are you in the library?

Xu Lin sent a message to Ning Yuhan, saying that she had been studying with her roommates at the school library these past few days.

"Third floor, honey, I'm here!"

Ning Yuhan also sent over photos.

Xu Lin glanced at the photo and thought the library was packed with people.

Especially now, during finals, the library is usually packed, let alone during finals.

At the end of the semester, even people who don't usually study might go to the library to study. Of course, not many people in top universities do this, although there are some.

Final exams are related to GPA, which can be used for various things such as awards, honors, and studying abroad.

When Xu Lin arrived on the third floor, he saw a dense crowd of people. Not to mention those in seats, there were also many who brought their own stools, the kind of plastic stools. Xu Lin saw quite a few of them. In addition, there were also many people studying on the floor or standing up.

Some people may not understand this phenomenon. In fact, the library is a place with a strong learning atmosphere. As the saying goes, "one is influenced by one's surroundings," and the environment has an absolute influence on people. You will become like the person you are in the environment you are in, without exception.

In the library, you have to think twice before making even the slightest noise.

So, in Xu Lin's view, there were several hundred people, but it was very quiet.

Xu Lin became very careful when he walked, trying to avoid making any noise.

Finally, they found Ning Yuhan.

"Junior!"

"long time no see!"

"The junior seems to have gotten even more handsome!"

Liu Yuqing and the other two greeted Xu Lin in hushed tones.

"Long time no see, three senior sisters!"

Xu Lin also greeted him quietly.

"Honey, why don't you sit here?"

Ning Yuhan cleared half of the space in the chair she was sitting in.

Sitting like this is actually very uncomfortable.

Xu Lin then said, "How about we go somewhere else to study?"

"Where to go?"

"Let's go to the classroom. We don't have classes now, but we can't be without a classroom."

"Okay, let's go to the classroom!"

Then Xu Lin said goodbye to Liu Yuqing and the other two, and left with Ning Yuhan amidst their ambiguous gazes.

There are no classes during the final exams, so there are indeed many empty classrooms, but in reality, every classroom has people, though it's not full.

Xu Lin entered one of the classrooms and sat down with Ning Yuhan by the window on the side of the classroom that was not facing the corridor.

Let's study here!

"Uh-huh."

Xu Lin also took out his draft notebook and opened the class group on his phone.

He didn't need to read books or review; he just did exercises. Besides, he had memorized all the textbook content.

The questions are from recent school exams, so consider it a review exercise.

These test questions are all in the class group. As long as you do the questions honestly and memorize the key points for the school exam, you can't fail. As for getting a high score, it depends on your ability to some extent.

Before 1 p.m., Xu Lin and Ning Yuhan were both in this classroom reviewing.

The two were busy with their own things; Xu Lin did his homework, while Ning Yuhan spent the first two hours reading and the next two hours writing her thesis.

Xu Lin is very efficient. He can finish each calculus and English exam in less than forty minutes on average, just by glancing at it.

Advanced mathematics is not difficult for a student like him. After all, university mathematics is just so-so. Non-mathematics majors will not study it in too much depth, so the questions will not be too difficult. Xu Lin can deal with it with ease now.

What about English?
Xu Lin was proficient in everything, so he was too lazy to look at the test paper after he finished it. If he couldn't get a perfect score on the English test, he might as well change his surname to his English teacher.

In the morning, Xu Lin was doing math problems, and in the last hour, he also did a microeconomics test.

The microeconomics test has many concepts, so you can pass if you memorize the material. There are also a few arithmetic questions at the end, which are also very simple.

Xu Lin felt that his overall GPA might be in the top three of his major.

the first?

Xu Lin dared not say for the time being.

It was one o'clock.

Xu Lin carefully put the draft paper into Ning Yuhan's schoolbag.

"Let's go eat. Are you done with your work?"

Ning Yuhan's paper is already undergoing formatting adjustments.

"Okay, let's go eat!"

Ning Yuhan nodded and put her things away.

Today, Ning Yuhan wore a high ponytail. When Xu Lin and she left, he let her walk ahead while he followed behind, grabbing her high ponytail and playing with it as they walked. It was quite amusing.

Ning Yuhan's high ponytail had a unique magic on Xu Lin.

"Honey, what would you like to eat? It's my treat!" Ning Yuhan said.

"Let's have a simple lunch of noodles or rice noodles, and then we'll have a big meal for dinner. I'll pay for it."

"oh oh."

After lunch.

After strolling around for a while, Xu Lin and his companion returned directly to the duplex and began their afternoon nap.

When Xu Lin woke up, he saw Ning Yuhan at the computer desk using her laptop to continue adjusting the formatting of the remaining papers.

Xu Lin didn't get up either. He simply put an extra pillow under the back of his head, raised his head, and kept his eyes closed.

However, Xu Lin didn't fall asleep either; he was just listening to the sounds of Ning Yuhan using the mouse and keyboard.

Almost half an hour later, Xu Lin finally spoke, "Is the paper finished?"

"I'll check it again and then send it to Professor Huang."

Ning Yuhan was very meticulous, checking each word and each punctuation mark one by one.

Twenty minutes later, Ning Yuhan said, "Honey, I'm about to send Professor Huang a message."

"Send it."

After a while.

"Sent!"

Ning Yuhan felt a sense of relief.

When Xu Lin saw that she had finished, he patted his thigh.

"Honey, it's still daytime..."

Ning Yuhan was familiar with the process and knew what Xu Lin slapping his thigh meant.

"Didn't our ancestors say that we should proclaim yin in broad daylight? Let's do the same."

"But this is not a good idiom."

"Come here quickly!"

"oh oh."

Ning Yuhan had no choice but to go. When Xu Lin saw her, she looked a little pitiful, which was quite cute.

As the other person climbed into bed, Xu Lin reached out and pulled her into his arms.

In no time at all, they stripped her clothes off.

"The last time we were together was on the morning of the 30th, and now it's the 5th, a whole week has passed!"

"You are so bad..."

Ning Yuhan lay on top of Xu Lin. Xu Lin didn't say anything, but kissed her directly.

Ning Yuhan also agreed with this.

By 7 p.m., Ning Yuhan was exhausted from Xu Lin's antics and didn't want to move at all. She slept in bed for more than two hours. Around 9 p.m., Ning Yuhan woke up to find Xu Lin no longer in bed, but at the computer. He was wearing headphones and watching videos of other people singing.

Ning Yuhan saw that Xu Lin was working and originally did not want to make a sound, but Xu Lin noticed out of the corner of his eye that Ning Yuhan was awake.

Are you hungry?

Xu Lin took off his headphones.

Xu Lin's words made Ning Yuhan realize she was hungry.

"Are you still busy?" Ning Yuhan asked.

"Let's go out for dinner. What are you busy with?"

Xu Lin got up from the chair, and Ning Yuhan nodded and got out of bed as well.

It was only then that Ning Yuhan realized she wasn't wearing any clothes. She had been too tired and had fallen asleep without putting on any clothes.

Ning Yuhan subconsciously covered her private parts. Although she had been with Xu Lin for a semester, Ning Yuhan was still not very open.

Seeing this, Xu Lin found it somewhat amusing, so he went over and pried open Ning Yuhan's hands, then kissed her on the lips.

A few minutes later.

"Still so shy?"

"You've been bullying me all along."

"Get dressed, let's go out to eat."

"Ah."

Ning Yuhan was then able to put on her clothes.

Besides what I wore underneath, my outerwear consisted of a hoodie and cargo pants.

Xu Lin was too fierce in the afternoon, making it a little inconvenient for Ning Yuhan to walk, so after going downstairs, Xu Lin carried her on his back.

Xu Lin didn't drive this time either, because there are two shopping malls nearby, and there are also many good restaurants in this area, so he didn't have to go too far.

Ning Yuhan felt safe and secure lying on Xu Lin's back.

"What would you like to eat, senior?"

I'll eat whatever you eat.

"You need to have some opinions, say something."

"Um... I think... I think..."

Ning Yuhan thought for a long time, then said, "Honey, I want to eat spicy food!"

"Shall we go for hot pot? A half-and-half pot?"

"No, I don't want hot pot, I want to eat Sichuan food."

After a pause, Ning Yuhan added, "If there isn't one nearby, we won't go. It's too far."

"Let me search and see if it's there."

Xu Lin took out his phone and searched for Sichuan cuisine on Meituan, and found that there were three Sichuan restaurants nearby.

So Xu Lin chose one of the shops with the best hygiene conditions and set off.

"Honey, is it a bit far?"

Ning Yuhan noticed that the restaurant Xu Lin had decided to go to was about two kilometers away from here.

"How far could it be? Hold on tighter to me, and I'll show you what Su Bingtian from Jiangdu really is!"

As Xu Lin spoke, before Ning Yuhan could react, he started running away. Ning Yuhan realized what was happening and quickly hugged Xu Lin.

Xu Lin's physical fitness is now exceptionally strong. Thanks to the fitness shaping card, Xu Lin not only has a great physique, but his physical fitness is also astonishing.

So, Xu Lin carried Ning Yuhan, a girl who was over 1.7 meters tall and had excellent physical development, and started running. They ran more than 300 meters in one go. If they hadn't had to wait for the traffic light, Xu Lin wouldn't have stopped.

"Slow down, what if you bump into someone..."

Ning Yuhan was a little scared. Xu Lin was often impulsive and fearless.

"Don't panic, I'm very cautious. You have no idea how quick my reflexes are!"

"In short, go slowly."

"Okay, I'll go slower later."

Xu Lin comforted her, and Ning Yuhan nodded.

"Look at other boyfriends, carrying their girlfriends while waiting at a traffic light, and what about you! Baby, carry me on your back!"

At this moment, the girl next to Xu Lin urged her boyfriend.

There were quite a few people waiting at the traffic light, including Xu Lin and two couples next to him.

Xu Lin and the others glanced over subconsciously and saw the girl yelling at her boyfriend to carry her on his back, looking like she wouldn't give up.

Make people dumbfounded.

"Baby?"

Ning Yuhan leaned close to Xu Lin's ear and whispered.

"Calling me 'husband' feels weird."

But Ning Yuhan got mischievous and said again, "Baby!"

"You want a spanking, huh? You think I won't spank you?"

"Baby!"

"Oh? Looks like your butt's itchy, huh?"

The light is green!

Ning Yuhan then reminded him.

"Hold on tight, I'm going to speed up."

"Uh-huh!"

Ning Yuhan reminded, "Slow down, don't run so fast, there are many people on the road."

"Ok."

Xu Lin crossed the zebra crossing and started running.

"Holy crap! Why are they running?"

Behind them, the couple had already crossed the zebra crossing with the boy carrying his girlfriend. Then they saw Xu Lin running even faster than Su Bingtian, and he was even carrying his girlfriend. But soon, Xu Lin and the other person disappeared from sight; they were running too fast.

Damn, how did they do that? Who are these people, so brave and fierce?

"Baby, hurry and catch up! We're falling behind!"

"What the hell are you going to chase me for?! Don't you know how much you weigh? A full 120 pounds! How can I chase you if I carry you on my back?"

The guy was speechless. His girlfriend weighed 120 pounds and was 1.7 meters tall. Experienced guys knew that this kind of slightly chubby figure at this height was a true top-tier human weapon.

However, carrying it on your back is really exhausting. In the countryside, a large bag of rice only weighs eighty or ninety pounds.

On the other side, after more than ten minutes, Xu Lin and his group arrived at their destination.

The Sichuan cuisine at this restaurant is pretty good; the taste is quite nice.

My senior can handle spicy food very well. Sichuan cuisine is very spicy, but she eats it with great relish and isn't afraid of the spiciness. I wonder if it's because she has Sichuan or Chongqing ancestry, since her mother is a woman from Sichuan or Chongqing.

Fortunately, Ning Yuhan is not a female Tyrannosaurus Rex.

After eating and drinking their fill, the two returned home at midnight.

For the next two days, Xu Lin and Ning Yuhan stayed together.

However, they did not go to school to review, but instead studied at home.

Ning Yuhan is a top student with a perfect GPA; she can learn anything, no matter where she is.

Xu Lin is alright; he has a natural talent for learning, making it easy for him to focus and preventing him from getting distracted.

That's how it is during the day. As for the night, Ning Yuhan and Xu Lin stayed together, and she couldn't help but be repeatedly tormented by the energetic Xu Lin.

Two days passed just like that.

The date arrived at the 8th.

In the morning, Xu Lin took Ning Yuhan to school to take the college entrance exam. Since the next three days, from the 9th to the 11th, are Ning Yuhan's college entrance exams for her sophomore year, Ning Yuhan will stay at school and does not plan to come back.

Xu Lin returned to his rented apartment, intending to finish dealing with the matters concerning the disciple class.

Three more days passed, and four members of the disciple class had arrived, leaving one person remaining.

It's really not easy to qualify for Xu Lin's disciple class; it's hard to find a satisfactory one.

There are five in the next tier, making a total of eight in the next tier when added to the previous three.

Xu Lin spent the entire day screening applications.

It wasn't until 3 p.m. that Xu Lin finally selected one.

Overall, I'm quite satisfied.

The boy's voice has a more story-telling quality than Xu Zilong's. At first, it doesn't seem like much, but as you listen, it becomes very appealing. Xu Lin feels that this boy's voice is versatile and can sing many different types of songs, so it is worth nurturing.

Thus, the first class of disciples consisted of five people: three men and two women.

Xu Lin posted on Xiaohongshu: "The first phase of the disciple class has completed enrollment. The second phase is expected to be at least three months from now. Please look forward to it!"

"Big Brother, is it over so soon?"

"I'm about to cry, did I not pass?"

"I've already received a rejection reply. Although the reply was heartwarming, I'm still not satisfied."

Xu Lin did not pay attention to the comments from netizens.

He returned to his assistant account and sent his work ID to his disciple, Ban Xin, through a third party, asking him to add the work ID.

The other party replied instantly, and soon a friend request came in on his work account, which Xu Lin accepted.

The four people ahead of us are already on this work station.

Xu Lin thought for a moment, then created a small group chat for his disciples and added all five of them to it.

Xu Lin: "From now on, I will be your master. You can just call me master!"

Xu Lin: "Heaven and Earth, Ruler, Parents, and Teacher are listed together. Does anyone know why the teacher is listed alongside Heaven and Earth?"

"I know!"

At this moment, Yun Hehe, a sweet-looking girl, spoke first: "Because teachers impart knowledge to me. The book says, 'A teacher's duty is to impart knowledge, teach skills, and resolve doubts!'"

Xu Lin: "That's right. A teacher's role is to impart knowledge, teach skills, and resolve doubts."

Xu Lin then asked, "Anything else? There are plenty of teachers these days, but we're discussing teachers from ancient times."

Yun Hehe added, "In ancient times, teachers also emphasized the cultivation of students' morality and character. Therefore, there is a saying that 'a teacher for a day is a father for life.' Teachers are ranked alongside heaven, earth, the emperor, parents, and elders!"

Not bad!

Xu Lin thought to himself that this girl must be a cultured and refined woman, since she knew about such ancient things.

In ancient times, in an era of cultural scarcity and limited access to knowledge for ordinary people, teachers were on par with emperors, kings, parents, and elders—a status that no teacher today could ever attain.

Xu Lin is a teacher here who discusses concepts like the Bodhi Patriarch in "Journey to the West." After all, in contemporary society, from kindergarten to university graduation, and some people even pursue master's and doctoral degrees, there are at least dozens of teachers of all kinds.

But Xu Lin is now teaching them skills that will make them rise to prominence and achieve great success. Which teacher in your life can compare to him?

Xu Lin: "Very good answer. From now on, as your teacher, I will impart knowledge, teach you, and answer your questions. Therefore, you must respect your teacher and value education! Also, I don't know your personal character and morality in private, but I hope that you are generally acceptable. Each of you is very talented and may reach heights you can't even imagine in the future. But! Remember, don't mess around and ruin my reputation!"

Yun Hehe answered first: "Master, don't worry, I won't go astray!"

Xu Lin did not answer the question immediately, but instead asked everyone, "Which of you comes from a wealthy family?"

Everyone answered one by one. Xu Lin glanced at them and saw that Yun Hehe came from a middle-class family, the other two were from well-off families in small cities, and the other two were from rural areas.

Xu Lin: "I've taken a look, and none of you were born rich. In other words, your character and desires may not be able to withstand the many tests of money and the attributes that money brings."

Xu Lin: "If you amass a fortune of hundreds of millions in the future, achieving fame, wealth, and glory, will you indulge your desires? Will you forget your original origins? Will you look down on people from the lower classes? Will you do bad things?"

In Xu Lin's view, only those who have seen and owned money have the right to say they don't like money and can withstand tests; the same applies to other temptations.

If you've never seen anything but still spout grand theories, isn't that just bullshit?
Xu Lin firmly believed in this principle.

People who come from the masses may not necessarily return to the masses, and not everyone can remember their original aspirations.

"Ask yourselves honestly, if you became very wealthy, would you become a scumbag?"

Xu Lin: "Let me make this clear from the start, you all need to watch your words and actions, don't let me down. If anything happens in the future, don't mention my name."
