Don’t Think About Interrupt My Study Chapter 1.1 – High School Sophomore Mid-term Exam

***

It is another year of graduation season. As a well-known company’s human resource personel, Nan Xiangwan once again embarks on the journey of selecting new talents for the company. The company she worked for was so popular that as soon as the online job vacancy application channel was opened, all kind of resumes flew like snowflakes, and it was too late for people to delete them.

That’s right. Half of the resumes was deleted directly by her because Nan Xiangwan couldn’t come over at all.

The rest of the resume, Nan Xiangwan will only glance at the ‘Graduate School’ section. If it is a key university, she will give the other party an online test link, and if it’s not, she ignore it directly. This is her bottom line. None of the employees who joined the company has graduated from a non-key university. Never.

Therefore, when Nan Xiangwan saw a non-key university in the list of graduate schools, she felt as uncomfortable as seeing a fly on a world-famous painting. Forget it, who made this school’s employment director and the company executives be classmates? Anyway, it’s just to preach, and it’s hard to say if they can’t hire people.

Nan Xiangwan was struggling all the way to this non-key university. A staff from the Employment Office waited at the school door early to lead her to the presentation site.

Along the way, the staff from the Employment Office enthusiastically introduced her to the situation of the school. Nan Xiangwan listened blankly, nodding from time to time. Gradually, Nan Xiangwan realized that she was just nodding her head and seemed a bit cold, so she had to find something to compliment the other party, “Your school…”

Nan Xiangwan raised her head, thinking that she couldn’t find even the slightest part of the school worthy of praise. She hesitated for a while, and continued without changing her face: “Your school is very beautiful.”

Upon hearing this, the other party said excitedly: “Yes, yes, our school’s buildings are newly repaired, and a lot of money was spent on it.”

“Heh…” Didn’t expect the other party to take these words seriously, Nan Xiangwan chuckled, “In this regard, our school is a bit worse. The whole school is very old, some could be considered cultural relics.”

“Oh?” The other party asked enthusiastically, “I don’t know where you graduated?”

Nan Xiangwan smiled slightly, and slowly uttered four words: “Guanghua University.” As she said, keeping this smile, she set her eyes on the other’s face.

As expected, when the person heard the name, a beam of light appeared in his eyes, and then quickly dimmed, and he never dared to look at her again.

This is a name that no one don’t know. It is a dream that everyone has mentioned many times since childhood. It is the source of most people’s heartache after the college entrance examination. This is also Nan Xiangwan’s most proud moment. Nothing excites her more than being asked about her graduate school. If possible, she is more than willing to engrave these four words on her forehead so that everyone can see clearly. .

In Nan Xiangwan’s eyes, all schools except Guanghua University are not worth mentioning.

The venue of the presentation is set in the Academic Exchange Hall, which is much better than ordinary classrooms of other school. A welcome banner was hung outside the venue, stretching and rippling in the breeze, as if it were an exquisite work of art. It is rare to add a touch of color to the school’s dusty buildings.

Nan Xiangwan walked into the venue under the leadership of the director of the Employment Office. She found that there were crowds of people in the venue. I heard that not only students from non-corresponding majors had come, but also many students from other schools came here on a special trip, just for an opportunities to work in a well-known company.

Hey, what is this? It’s not good to do something during the great time, so I just want to come here to have fun. But think about it conversely, this may be the only time this group of people can get in touch with well-known companies in their lives.

“It’s so pathetic.” Nan Xiangwan thought in his heart.

It’s a pity that no one knows that she will never recruit people from this group of students.

In fact, she is not the only HR who will do this. Some colleagues in the past bluntly said when recruiting at non-key universities, “You can’t apply for management trainees, you can only apply for technical posts. Management trainees are reserved for key university students.” He also described this school as “a school that can be admitted to whatever you want.” As a result, the students of the school have risen to resist. After being posted on the Internet, it caused an uproar. The HR who said this had to end with an apology and resignation.

Nan Xiangwan is much smarter than him. Although she thought so in her heart, she would never say it on her mouth. When receiving resume, she was so courteous, gentle and generous, and even pretendingly took a look at it.

Years of hiring experience has given her a sharp eye, and she can see many problems even at a glance. Failure to pass the foreign language level test, no scholarship, no national competition award, no qualification certificate, repetition, make-up exam, college promotion, college entrance examination…

Nan Xiangwan shook her head in her heart. It was a waste of time.

Just when she almost lost patience, a resume broke into her sight. This boy not only meets the company’s recruitment requirements in all aspects, but the most important thing is that he graduated from a well-known American university, which is also ranked higher than Guanghua University. Coincidentally, he is also from the same town as Nan Xiangwan.

Faced with this impeccable resume, Nan Xiangwan asked a question unhurriedly, “Which high school did you graduate from?”

The other party said a name, which made her chuckle and shook her head, “I haven’t heard it.”

Nan Xiangwan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if you graduated from a prestigious American school, you have also come from good high school. Just like her. Not only was she admitted to a key high school during the high school entrance examination, but she was also admitted to the rocket class* when she was in the second grade.

The real academic tyrant does not allow the slightest black history.

Nan Xiangwan smiled comfortingly at the boy, “It’s okay, go back and wait for my news.”

After finishing all the resumes, Nan Xiangwan was going to return to the company. Except for the few resumes, most of them went into the trash can.

While waiting for boarding in the airport VIP room, Nan Xiangwan received a call from his mother.

Guan Xiumei chatted on the phone for a while, and finally came to the point as if accidentally, “I have something to tell you. Uncle Wang’s son graduated this year, can you interview him, let him join your company… “

“Which school did he graduate from?” At that time, Nan Xiangwan was flipping through a financial magazine. She turned a page casually and interrupted her absent-mindedly.

Guan Xiumei said the name of a school, and Nan Xiangwan frowned immediately. “What a bad school this is, I have never heard of it.” For her mother, Nan Xiangwan made no secret of her true thoughts.

“But you can help him.” Guan Xiumei begged earnestly.

Nan Xiangwan closed the magazine, said angrily: “Is this a help? Our company is very demanding. It’s not possible for anyone to come in. If I let people like this into the company, not only everyone knows I use power for personal gain, how do I gain a foothold in the company.”

“He studied very well and had to live…”

Before her mother finished speaking, Nan Xiangwan sneered, and quickly interrupted her, “If he studied well, why didn’t he admitted to a key university?” She put the magazine aside, changed her posture, and seriously taught her mother, “Mom, didn’t I told you, don’t always think about finding connections? I don’t have the ability. It’s useless to have connection! Look at me, from childhood to now, have I been looking for connection? Isn’t everything I have today obtained from my own efforts? Tell him these words. Let him die early if he wants a connection!”

“But…” Guan Xiumei stopped talking, as if there was something unspeakable, she finally turned into a sigh and pleaded with her again, ”He..he is different. If you see him, give him a chance… …”

“If I said no, then no! I’m going to board the plane, don’t say anything anymore.”

“But, hey…”

Nan Xiangwan hung up the phone directly, and gave her mother no chance to retorted.

After a while, a service staff informed her that she could board the plane. The man helped her pull the luggage and led her all the way to the boarding gate.

Through the thick glass doors, you can see the passengers in economy class have already lined up in front of the boarding gate. Some people are supporting the old man and the child, some are carrying a big bag and a small bag, some are holding a cup of instant noodles. Everyone’s face looks like they can’t wait.

If you don’t study hard, you can only take economy class when you go out. Don’t say that her salary is enough to support her luxurious life. The well-known company she works for will also take the initiative to pay for her five-star hotel room and first-class airline tickets, because it represents the face of a top company.

Nan Xiangwan walked into the cabin through the covered bridge. The stewardess who had learned of the information about Nan Xiangwan kindly called her “Ms. Nan”, then guided her into the seat, offered her a well-prepared welcome drink. Introduced the various equipment on the plane and today’s meal in detail, and finally asked her what she would like to eat when the meal’s time coming.

Nan Xiangwan waved indifferently, “No, I just want to take a good rest, I will call you if I have something to do.”

Looking at the back of the flight attendant leaving, Nan Xiangwan felt a trace of emotion in her heart: It was really hard. I don’t know which university she graduated from.

The plane took off quickly. She turned on the TV to see if there were any good movies. She look it twice and finally chose Inception. In the movie, in order to fight competitors, Saito did not hesitate to buy airlines, so that the protagonist’s Inception team successfully met with the target characters in the first-class cabin of a Boeing 747. Taking the opportunity of returning the passport, the protagonist puts the drug into the water glass of the target character. After the target character drank the water, he fell asleep.

First-class airplanes, passengers pretending to be strangers, glass cups filled with drugs…

Seeing this, Nan Xiangwan couldn’t help looking around. The seats next to her were empty, and a few people were sitting scattered on the other seats. A man dressed in a suit was typing on a computer and a fashionable lady with permed curly hair. Looking out the window, there is an uncle with a beard who just unfastened his seat belt to go to the bathroom, and beside him is a thin man…

Everything is so ordinary.

Nan Xiangwan retracted her gaze and looked at the glass placed on the armrest of the seat. The plane had a slight turbulence, drawing circular ripples on the water like a black hole, making it impossible to extricate itself from sinking southward. Soon, Nan Xiangwan felt unspeakable sleepiness. She wanted to close her eyes and rest for a while, but she fell into a dream unconsciously.

In the dream, Nan Xiangwan heard the sound of “Jasmine Flower”, from far to near, from vague to clear, from inaudible to deafening. She couldn’t suppress the acceleration of her heartbeat, because it was the class bell in high school. For three years, and even for a long time thereafter, as long as she heard this sound, she would tighten her nerves like a conditioned reflex. Especially in a dream, it will wake you up suddenly.

“Class starts!” Nan Xiangwan shouted in her heart.
