Chapter 5: Tutoring Little Sister

  Gao Yuan walked into the rest room with a solemn expression after finishing the phone call with Brother Gou. Tan Xiao Hua said, "Brother Shifu, did you receive some kind of blow? Your face is almost as dark as iron!" Gao Yuan said, "Yes, it's a vertical blow!" Tan Xiao Hua asked, "What happened?" Gao Yuan said, "Just now someone told me that in the past, some people who got first place in the interview were not admitted, while others who didn't even participate in the interview were admitted. It's really too dark, it's like there's no sky!"

  Tan Xiaohui said: "Brother, don't be discouraged, you have a high education background, there's still hope. I think it can only be used as cannon fodder." Gao Yuan saw her cute appearance and couldn't help but like her very much. He thought to himself: "If we both pass the exam, that would be great. Then I could see her every day."

  Gao Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but tell Tang Xiaohui about Gou Dage's information. He asked Tang Xiaohui to prepare her self-introduction seriously and focus on professional knowledge. Tang Xiaohui said: "Professional knowledge won't make much progress in a short time, but the self-introduction can be done well." After finishing speaking, she started thinking with her hands supporting her chin.

  After a while, Tan Xiaohui stood up and walked to Gao Yuan's front: "Brother, please act as the interviewer and see how my self-introduction is." Gao Yuan looked at her standing there, with a petite and delicate body, a curvaceous figure, and a pretty face full of joy. He couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

  Gao Yuan thought of several girls who were close to him, including Wen Wan, Qiao Yue'er, Hua Zini, Tang Yuanyuan and others. He compared Tan Xiaohui with them and found that each had their own strengths in terms of appearance and personality. If he had to make a choice among them, it would be a real headache. Gao Yuan felt a little strange, he didn't know why Tan Xiaohui had taken up a place in his heart so quickly, they hadn't even known each other for half a day yet.

  "Big brother, what are you spacing out?" Tan Xiaohui's words sounded in Gao Yuan's ear, and Gao Yuan hastily withdrew his thoughts: "Begin!" Tan Xiaohui immediately entered the role, and all she said was: "Respected leaders, good afternoon!" Saying this, she elegantly bowed to Gao Yuan, then stood up straight and formally began her self-introduction.

  "My name is Tan Xiaohui, from Nanjing University of Finance and Economics, majoring in English. During my college years, I studied diligently and passed the TEM-8 exam in my junior year, possessing strong English listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation skills. Apart from studying, I'm also enthusiastic about public affairs and was elected as the class committee secretary in my freshman year and the president of the school's female student association in my sophomore year, organizing a series of cultural and sports activities. I have diverse interests, such as singing, traveling, watching movies... anything that young people like, I like too. Thank you everyone!"

  After finishing, Tan Xiaohui bowed to Gao Yuan again and then sat back in her seat, wiping the sweat from her forehead: "Leader, how was it?" Gao Yuan said: "If I were the leader, I would want you even if you didn't introduce yourself. Unfortunately, I'm not, and I'm afraid your self-introduction won't be enough for a real leader." Tan Xiaohui said: "I can only think of this much, do you have any suggestions? Tell me quickly!"

  He said: "First, some places need to be explained clearly, such as the Professional English Test Level 8, some leaders may not know what it is. Secondly, the content needs to be more specific, for example, whether your English ability has any outstanding aspects, it's best to mention if you have won any awards. Also, Secretary Tan, Chairman Tan, what activities have you organized? Can you give a few examples? This will be more persuasive. Thirdly, your hobbies and interests can be mentioned broadly, so that there is always one hobby that is the same as theirs, which will bring them closer together. Finally, and most importantly, your self-introduction does not match the position you are applying for, you need to pay attention to this: your self-introduction should achieve the goal of making everyone feel that the position was created just for you, and no one else would be more suitable than you. That's all my opinions."

  Tan Xiaohui listened to him finish and stared wide-eyed: "I was still a bit proud of myself, but after you said that, I realized that my self-introduction is actually full of holes! Brother Shifu, you are really amazing! I can only look up to you." Gao Yuan felt quite pleased with himself, but humbly said: "Sister Shifu, one doesn't recognize the true face of Lushan Mountain because they're standing in it. What's so great about me? I'm just an onlooker, that's all."

  Tan Xiaohui said: "Anyway, I'm going to be your fan now." Gao Yuan said: "I love eating fans the most." Tan Xiaohui said: "My fan is not for eating." Gao Yuan said: "Then what's it for?" Tan Xiaohui thought for a moment: "It's for watching."

  Gao Yuan leaned in close to her face, his eyes scanning hers, and Tan Xiaohui scolded: "What are you doing?" Gao Yuan said: "Didn't you say you were for looking? I'm here to look at you on orders." Tan Xiaohui chuckled: "If you want to look, it's not the right time now, I still need to prepare for the interview!"

  Here is the translation:

  After a while, Tan Xiaohui said: "I've thought it over, leader. Can I have another interview?" Gao Yuan said: "Okay!" Tan Xiaohui bowed and introduced herself: "My name is Tan Xiaohui, from Nanjing University of Finance and Economics, English major. During my time in school, I studied diligently and passed the English professional eight-level exam in my junior year. I have strong English listening, speaking, reading, writing, and translation skills. I won first prize in an English speech contest organized by DD TV, and simultaneous interpretation is one of my strengths. I interned at a translation company and completed three simultaneous interpretation tasks, receiving unanimous praise from the company leaders and foreign clients. I believe my English abilities fully meet the requirements for this position. Apart from studying, I'm also passionate about public affairs. In my freshman year, I was elected as class committee secretary, and in my sophomore year, I was elected as president of the school's female student association. To enrich campus life, I organized a series of activities such as singing competitions, beauty pageants, and knowledge contests. I know this position requires organizational and coordination skills, but I believe my experience in school has laid a solid foundation for me to work at your unit. Additionally, I have diverse interests - singing, traveling, yoga, movies, shopping, food... I enjoy them all! I'm confident that if I can join your unit, I'll bring more joy to everyone! Thank you!"

  After listening to Tan Xiaohui's self-introduction, Gao Yuan couldn't help but applaud. Tan Xiaohui said: "How was it?" Gao Yuan said: "Perfect!" Tan Xiaohui smiled happily and said: "Brother, thank you! After the interview, I'll invite you out for a day, okay?"

  Gao Yuan was overjoyed, but said: "It's only been a day, it's too short." Tan Xiaohui pouted and said: "Insatiable!" Gao Yuan responded with a sentence: "Good times are fleeting."
