Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 1145 Different Paths, Different Destination
"Have you seen all the (grades)? Did you pass (the other subjects)?" He tried not to appear too excited and asked calmly.
Du Lan realized it quickly: "Oh, you don't know yet? Then I won't tell you, you should go and see for yourself. Congratulations first, remember to believe in yourself at all times, don't care about gains and losses once, and always look forward."

Dong Qiangqiang quickly put all the tools back in place, then returned to the table carrying a plate and a beer.

Dong Qiangqiang took the last two subjects, one in the morning and one in the afternoon while working during the day. He got a score of 2 in Microeconomics 1.3, which overlapped with the content of the seminar. For some reason, he failed in Macroeconomics 2 and only got 2 points, which was the lowest score among the subjects he passed.

The results of these two subjects were as good as he expected, but failing was like the first blood of a new car. Dong Qiangqiang didn't feel much about the good results. He didn't know whether to praise himself for being calm or that he didn't care about the results at all. Of course, passing was better than failing, but that was it. Didn't he still have to prepare for the make-up exam? The only good thing was that he could explain it to his parents. It was convincing to say that he had failed only one subject.

He lazily took a hot shower. The thermostat of the hot water had been used for a long time and it was difficult to adjust the temperature accurately. It was either too cold or too hot for him to stand under the shower head. Between the cold and the hot, he chose the latter. He was gritting his teeth and enduring the heat when he faintly heard someone knocking on the bathroom door.

He didn't turn off the hot water valve, but opened the shower door, stuck half of his head out, and asked through the white mist in the room, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Boss. Are you taking a shower?" Li Lei's slightly anxious voice came from outside the door.

"What? Urgent? I haven't finished taking a shower yet. How about you go to the basement? The landlord said we can use the bathroom there, too."

"I know, I don't go to the bathroom."

"Why are you knocking when you're not using the bathroom?"

"Just open the door and tell me." Li Lei was being mysterious.

"Brother, can't you wait a few minutes?"

"Just two sentences, and then I'll go down the mountain to buy vegetables. It will be quick and I won't delay your bath." Li Lei said as he continued to knock on the door with his hands.

Dong Qiangqiang didn't know what Li Lei was doing. He guessed that if he didn't open the door, Li Lei would keep knocking. So he endured the frustration, put on a bathrobe, and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, mist swirled behind Dong Qiangqiang, who looked like a furious King Kong. He was dripping with water. He lowered his head and stared at Li Lei, who had two new dark circles under his eyes and looked worried, and asked, "What's the hurry?"

"How did you spend last year?" Li Lei asked resentfully while knocking on the door frame with a pile of papers rolled up.

"What do you mean by 'how did you get through it'?" Dong Qiangqiang was puzzled by the question. "Exempted from class for a talk?" "What else could it be?" Li Lei said angrily, "I only slept for three hours and then got up to continue memorizing. I haven't finished memorizing it yet. There is so much (content) that it is impossible for a human to memorize. How long did you prepare last year? Don't tell me it was just one night."

"Is that all you want about knocking on the door?" Seeing that Li Lei just wanted to complain to him, Dong Qiangqiang wanted to curse him.

"So many, so many," Li Lei looked down at his trembling hands holding the paper, and said in frustration, "Is there anything more devastating than this?"

“No one can memorize all the concepts if you do this. You have to understand what the concept means first, and then express it in your own words. The important thing is to express that you have learned these contents, rather than simply reciting the entries. Even if you really can't memorize the concepts when the professor asks you, you can list the formulas you have learned and draw diagrams to prove that you have learned them. In short, now is not the time to back down. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back.” As soon as the words came out, Dong Qiangqiang suddenly remembered Professor Jörg's explanation that he could not use the reference answers to answer questions, and he had an epiphany in an instant.

Li Lei was so depressed by Dong Qiangqiang's lecture that he was speechless for a long time. He stamped his feet, cursed, turned around sadly, and walked back to his door in slippers. He lowered his head and sighed, "I thought the professor would just take a look at the notarized copy of my university transcript and that would be it. Who knew it would be so troublesome? Well, I won't say anymore. Please accompany me tomorrow morning. I just don't have the courage to take the knife."

"Only the person who was exempted from class was allowed to enter the professor's office. No one else was allowed to enter. I could only stay in the corridor."

"I know I can relax more if you stay in the corridor. I think the feeling should be similar to when we were preparing for final exams in China." Li Lei showed a reminiscent look.

Dong Qiangqiang originally planned to start reviewing at home tomorrow, but when he saw Li Lei inviting him, he guessed that he was confused because his review was not going well. Then he thought of his mood before he was exempted from the class, and felt somewhat sympathetic towards Li Lei. He nodded and agreed with empathy, and at the same time felt a little relieved: if he gave Li Lei all the review materials he had compiled, he was afraid that Li Lei would give up when he got the materials.

"Then you should go to bed early. I see you've been doing hard labor in the yard all day. It's not easy. I'll call you tomorrow morning. Don't get up too late." After Li Lei said this, he slapped the door with a loud noise. After entering the house, he slammed the door again. He seemed to be angry and seemed to have a lot of opinions about Dong Qiangqiang. Dong Qiangqiang didn't bother to care and continued to bathe himself.

In just one day, the mailbox was full of emails again, most of which were sent by Duanmu.

Duanmu did not mention a word about the report that Dong Qiangqiang submitted after repeated revisions as required. Instead, he continued to receive various long and short reports from Wall Street. Most of Buchan's funds and their personal money are now deeply tied to Volkswagen. Needless to say, there are naturally the most reports related to Volkswagen.

After reading so many reports, Dong Qiangqiang became more familiar with the routines and structures of Wall Street reports. He read them quickly and used Kingsoft PowerWord less and less frequently. When he came across a good way to express himself, he would save it, and he had accumulated quite a few without realizing it. When he encountered a multi-faceted long or short perspective, he would try to analyze and refute himself from both sides, which was quite a bit of a left-right struggle. The boredom of reading reports also decreased day by day. Because it was related to his own money, he read the reports very seriously. It was not like when he was a teenager, he needed constant supervision and encouragement from teachers and parents to learn English. He couldn't help thinking that if learning English could be strongly linked to making money earlier, it would definitely not be as painful as when he was a child.

After a day of hard work, he thought about going to bed early, but he was so excited about reading that he didn't realize it was late at night. The advantage of living in the middle of the mountain is that you don't have to draw the curtains day or night for fear of being peeped, but you still have to draw them to prevent the morning sun. It was pitch black outside the window, the corridor had been quiet for a long time, and there was no sound next door. He didn't know whether Li Lei was asleep or still working late. Just as he was about to get up to brush his teeth and wash his face, his cell phone suddenly rang sharply. He was worried about disturbing the people next door, so he hurriedly pressed the answer button without even checking who was calling.

"I was worried that you might have fallen asleep, so I hesitated whether to call you," it was a familiar voice to Zheng Chunhua, "Nothing, I just wanted to ask if you had checked the test paper yesterday and asked for your score back?"

Dong Qiangqiang then remembered that he had not contacted Zheng Chunhua since talking to the professor yesterday. Afraid of being overheard by Li Lei, he deliberately lowered his voice and replied: "Thank you for your guidance yesterday. I have looked at the test paper and talked to the professor, but I didn't get the score back. However, I know why I failed. I will take the make-up exam next week."
