Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 255 Academic Discussion
Then I heard him say a lot of terms that I didn't understand at all, I looked at Cao Yu with a blank face, Cao Yu also looked at me with a blank face, and I immediately showed some understanding gestures, nodding constantly, sometimes questioning, sometimes approving.

Du Shiyang pushed me aside, and said with a sneer, "What are you pretending to do? As if you can understand?"

I thought for a while and said: "A wormhole is actually a time tunnel connecting a black hole and a white hole. Through Einstein's thought experiment, it was discovered that space-time is not flat but curved. The theory says that wormholes exist, but Hearing is deceiving, seeing is believing, guessing that it is billions of light-years later in time and space, even if we can get there, we can only trace back to the shadow of the wormhole, and we can’t see the wormhole at all, because the wormhole is also tens of billions of light years away. It’s advancing at a speed of billions of light years.”

Du Shiyang looked at me adoringly and said, "You really understand it, then tell me, can you use any theory to prove its existence?"

In fact, I just saw such a short paragraph in an article. I just have a good memory. How would I know what it was specifically about.

Then he lowered his head and said, "I can't make it up anymore. I have used all the words I can use. If you ask me to say it again, I can't even make it up."

Everyone laughed, Cao Yu gave me a thumbs up, and said to me: "No matter what, your ability to make up stories is really amazing. If you don't study it deeply, you can really get away with it!"

I proudly said: "That's right, we do sales, don't we rely on this three-foot tongue? Flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, you ask me anything, I can give you I have said one or two things, but if I continue to say it, I will show my timidity. It is not true talent and learning. When the book is used, I will hate it less, so when people ask me, I will say that I understand it."

We were still talking and laughing here, and the noise outside became louder again, and we hurried out to have a look.

In the corridor outside, there are two groups. One is headed by Dongfang Tianqi and Qiao Rui, and the other is headed by Liu Ziran. The two groups have about the same number of people. I pricked up my ears and listened carefully, some advanced academic questions.

Just listen to Dongfang Tianqi said: "In the beginning of all things in the world, fruits were used to feed the hunger. Most of the ingredients contained in fruits are water, sugar, vitamin C, and a small amount of folic acid. What does this mean? It means that our ancestors never came to this world. , is to use sugar to maintain life, of course sweetness is the main element, which is also the basic element to maintain human existence.”

Liu Ziran retorted: "It is recorded in "Shuoshu" that those who are born are called 'halogen' and those who are boiled are called 'salt'. As early as the Yellow Emperor's era, there was a prince named Susha who boiled bittern with sea water and fried it into salt. Around the time of Shennong (Emperor Yan) and the Yellow Emperor, he began to cook salt. Is this our Chinese ancestor? Since that period, we Chinese have been eating salt. What we are discussing today is Chinese food culture, isn’t it? World diet problem, you digress."

Not to be outdone, Qiao Rui said: "The time of the Yellow Emperor was only 2599 years ago, and the first domesticated fruit in China was grapes. Its history can be traced back to 3000 years ago, which is enough to show that sugar appeared before salt. What I said That's our China."

Cao Yu asked me, "How do you domesticate fruit?"

I pursed my lips and replied: "It means to start planting, and to domesticate. I'm afraid that others will understand you when you say it so grandly?"

Qiao Rui heard what I said, and said to me dissatisfied: "This classmate, if you have a good opinion, you can say it in public, and don't discuss it in a low voice."

I said loudly: "What a simple question, let you discuss it into an academic seminar, isn't it a dispute between sweet and salty? It's so tall, I'm afraid others don't know, how many years have you studied? What do you like to eat?" What to eat, eat salty radishes and don’t worry about it, are you free? Yuan Longping shouldn’t have invented hybrid rice to feed you too full, and you’ll be full if you’re full!”

Liu Ziran snorted and said, "You know what, you're in your one-acre three-point field, go plant your land, what are you doing here? You don't know anything!"

I said dissatisfied: "Hey, hey, hey, how can this classmate say foul language? You look down on us farmers, right? Without us farmers, you eat shit? You make yourself look like a poor scholar, with nostrils Put green onions in it, what are you pretending to be?"

Liu Ziran was so angry that I couldn't speak, Dongfang Tianqi said righteously: "It's a topic, we can discuss it, we have our freedom of speech, you can participate if you like, don't make trouble if you don't like it."

I said disdainfully: "You control the world and control me shit and fart? You say yours, I say mine, and I didn't ask you to listen!"

The angry Dongfang Tianqi called me a scoundrel.

This was interrupted by me, just now their intense academic seminar turned into street cursing, which seemed dull and boring.

Then people dispersed.

We also returned to our class, and Du Shiyang came over to me and said, "You are simply a street rascal, those three people were so angry that their nostrils were filled with smoke, and what was supposed to be a lively discussion was spoiled by you, Are you saying you deserve a beating?"

I pretended to be innocent and said: "Freedom of speech is not allowed anymore? They discuss theirs, I talk about mine, what's the problem? Besides, there are any discussions that can't be discussed in my own class. Go to the streets and public areas What are you shouting about? It seems that they are highly educated? Who are you acting for?"

Du Shiyang nodded, agreed and said: "That's right, you successfully stopped a boring show."

I suddenly asked curiously: "Why don't you go to class one? What are you doing here? You seem to belong to their category too?"

Du Shiyang said angrily: "Where do you see that I look like them, and your whole family looks like them!"

I wasn't angry either. I looked at her and said with a smile, "Why are you so excited? Are you talking about your sore spots? Why are you not ashamed of being with us, but proud of it?"

Cao Yu said dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean? What is our group? What happened to our group? Besides, don't turn you into our group, you are not our group, you belong to a different kind! "

Du Shiyang laughed loudly and said, "Yes, you can't be defined as a human being yet."

I rolled my eyes at the two of them and said, "Why does this remove me from the scope of human beings? In just such a short while, I lost my identity as a human being?"

Everyone agreed that they were right.

The next week's class became extremely tense, and I also had a surprise test. For the class I was interested in, the score was very high, and for the class I was not interested in, it was almost zero. Except for one name, the others were all Mongolian.

When Yuan Lihong walked in with the test paper, she had an angry expression on her face, and she knew she was going to get angry again today.

I knew that I couldn't escape, so I warned myself, I must hold my breath, I just acted like my son scolding Lao Tzu, I endured it, I couldn't bear it, I still have to bear it.

Master Yuan threw the test paper on the handout table heavily, glanced at the people below and said: "You are all highly educated people, and you also have certain social experience, but I can't see you from this test paper." At a certain level, elementary school students will answer better than you. You are so disappointing. In the same class, why do the same class of students learn so well? You are not good. Although it is said that there is no distinction between teaching and learning, I still see the difference. .

Next, let me read the score, listen to it yourself, I will blush for you.

Hua Zhonghua got a score of 61, barely passing, answering questions without using his brain, and blindly memorizing them by rote.

Cao Yu scored 48 points. I gave you this score because I felt that you wrote a lot of words on it. Each word is worth 48 points.

Du Shiyang scored 76. I am still not satisfied with this result. In my mind, you should have the highest score in the class, but you disappointed me. Did you read too much foreign ink?Give me back the whole English.

Then I read the following people, but I didn't hear my name, and I was still uneasy, and my palms were sweaty, which was more difficult than looking at my college entrance examination scores.

Everyone's grades have been read, without me.I raised my head and looked at Mrs. Yuan questioningly. She also looked at me and said to me sternly: "Fade Chen, zero points." The whole class was in an uproar.

I stared at Yuan Shitai, to see what she said?
She said word by word: "Do you know why I gave you zero points?"

I shook my head and said, "If you count by words, I've counted, it should be seventy or eighty, right?"

Master Yuan snorted and said, "Seventy or eighty points? Let me ask you, did you answer the test paper yourself?"

I didn't understand what she meant and asked, "Didn't I answer it myself? Or did you answer it?"

Mrs. Yuan completely angered her when she heard my tone, and asked me angrily: "Where did you get this answer? How could you have a standard answer, word for word? Let me ask you, should you cheat a little bit?" level?"

I stood up, her words insulted me, and I said loudly: "How do you know that I cheated? Can't you write standard answers for the exam? I have to make two wrong questions on purpose, do you like it?"

Du Shiyang pulled me beside me, telling me to sit down and stop talking.

I didn’t move, Master Yuan pointed at me and said, “I’ve been teaching for so many years, but I’ve never seen a student like you who is so stubborn. Okay, I’ll let you die in peace. Let me ask you, the last question. An example, which shows that market research is an important part of marketing and an indispensable link. How did you get the example? This example is from the textbook, but you copied it down verbatim. And you said you didn't plagiarize?"

I sarcastically said: "Aren't you mistaken? This example is an example of my operation when I was in Wanzhong Electrician. What textbooks, please be strict with your teaching attitude. If you don't want me to get high marks, you can just give me a zero." points, but please don't insult me."
