Reborn I want everything

Chapter 15 Give you a chance, you are useless

Under Lu Youyou's considerate enlightenment, Gu Zhe couldn't help but be reminded of the past event that was quite warning for the rest of his life.

As far as his physical body is concerned, this incident only happened half a year ago, and his memory should be clear.

But to his soul, that was 24 years ago.From the age of 16 to the age of 40, he can still remember it so clearly, it can be seen that it will become the motto of life and be engraved into DNA.

Gu Zhe took a few deep breaths, and said slowly:
"...Last semester, I ranked first in the chemical school competition and the city preliminaries. Zhang Ming was ranked behind me twice, but in the final provincial final he overtook me and got the qualification to be sent to the national training team and was directly recommended. You You all know it, right?"

Lu Youyou nodded: "I know this, and Teacher Jin also said it. I also know that after the preliminaries in your city, you suddenly relaxed your chemistry review, especially when everyone else was doing surprise experiments and you didn't. Come back to supplement English, Chinese. I wonder why you suddenly lost your mind and didn't persevere to the end. Isn't Zhang Ming winning by persevering to the end. "

Hearing this, Gu Zhe smiled wryly at himself: "It is true that he won by persevering to the end, but things are not that simple. My mentality collapsed at the time because of last year's city preliminaries, and our whole city in Mingzhou was a little slack. I couldn't be bothered, the paper I used was the same as that of the provincial capital.

After the test, I went to find out the results of other candidates who used the provincial test paper, and found that although my score was the first in Minnesota, it was also the first in the other three northern cities except the provincial capital.

But after adding the results of the candidates in the provincial capital of Ark City, especially those perverts from Ark No. [-] Middle School, I fell directly outside the top ten.According to the system, only the top four in the province can be sent to the national training team and get a guarantee.

At that time, my Chinese and foreign languages ​​were still poor, and I felt that since there was no hope of admission and I had to take the college entrance examination, I should cut my flesh and stop losses to make up for my shortcomings. After the city preliminaries and the two months before the provincial finals, I didn't practice the experimental part much. "

Lu Youyou exclaimed: "How can Ark No. [-] High School be so strong? Our No. [-] is not as good as their No. [-]?"

Gu Zhe shrugged: "Actually, it's not surprising. Ark No. 96 High School is a strong team. Since [-], some people have entered the national team every year, and finally won gold medals in the IMO/IPHO/ICHO global finals.

In 99, which is our first year of promotion, the Provincial Department, in order to continue to grow bigger and stronger, specially approved the Ark No. [-] Middle School to set up a competition experiment class, which can be used to approve the top students in the special moves physics and chemistry competition for the whole province in advance.

In this case, the gap will definitely widen further.In our current class, the contestants from other schools in the province were originally selected from the No. [-] Ark Middle School three years ago. "

Although Lu Youyou knew that all of this had passed, she couldn't help feeling nervous about Gu Zhe when she heard this, and then thought of something unreasonable:

"Isn't that right? If the people in Ark No. [-] Middle School are really that strong, wouldn't Zhang Ming City only be among the top ten in the province in the preliminaries? How could he improve so much in the provincial finals?"

Gu Zhe laughed at himself: "In fact, he didn't improve much. In the end, he ranked 12th in the province and entered the national training team."

Lu Youyou: "Didn't you say that only four people..."

Gu Zhe sighed deeply: "Before the provincial final, the provincial government inspected and investigated the preparations for the competition in each city, and finally found that there was a strong atmosphere of negative competition in various places, especially those places where the provincial paper was used in the city preliminaries.

Many people have the same mentality as me. They feel that even if they work hard, they will not be able to win the chance of getting a walk, so they simply lie flat and die.The provincial department found that the situation was wrong. In order to maintain the vitality of the competition and issue internal documents urgently, a principle, or unspoken rule was established:
Inform the municipal bureaus that starting from that year, in principle, candidates from a single region and school are not allowed to monopolize the qualifying places in the provincial finals.If necessary, a provincial first-class place can be added to ensure that the last place will be a consolation prize for candidates from areas with backward education..."

The policy mentioned by Gu Zhe actually existed in many provinces later, so it may not appear as a document on the surface.But in Donghai Province, it did appear for the first time in 02.

After all, everyone who cuts leeks knows not to dig out the roots, otherwise they will lie flat and rot.

Guoping also knows that when encountering underdogs, it is necessary to deliberately release one or two balls, so that other countries are willing to continue playing table tennis.

Lu Youyou carefully sorted out the twists and turns in Gu Zhe's words, and suddenly exclaimed: "So... Zhang Ming is really lucky! He is stepping on the policy bonus of a thousand dollars? The higher authorities want to use him as a model for non-local candidates With the confidence to continue playing?"

Gu Zhe waved his hand: "There's no need to say that, I've figured it out a long time ago, and I haven't disobeyed him. At least I have to admit that Zhang Ming's Chinese and foreign language scores are better than mine, so he doesn't have to worry about putting too much energy into the competition." Too much delay in preparing for the college entrance examination'.

Secondly, when others are desperate to cut meat and stop losses, he perseveres to the end, which is also a victory of will. Opportunities are only given to those who are prepared, 'Even if the sky falls, you have to get up early to pick it up'.

And I'm in the category of 'I couldn't make it through the darkest hour before dawn' in this matter.In the two months after the results of the provincial decision came out, I felt as if I was sleepwalking with remorse, as if I had missed a hundred million.

Every day when I sleep, I dream of the scene in the TV series that was just broadcast: Destiny pointed a shotgun at my head and yelled at me: You are useless if I give you a chance!If I give you a chance, you are useless!
A while ago, after I passed that hurdle, I finally changed my mind. I think that the lesson of "opportunities are only for those who are prepared" will be remembered for a lifetime. "

Gu Zhe really did it before he was reborn. In his previous life, except for the two hurdles of high school Olympiad and college entrance examination, he suffered serious setbacks. However, in his entire 20-plus years of life, if there is no problem in identifying a goal and confirming the direction, then All-in, until the target is bitten to death, it will never end.

It was precisely to remember this lesson that he later searched the last ICHO global final test questions of that year on the Internet and did it repeatedly, and he did not forget it after many years.He wanted to use this as a warning to himself: Originally, he also had the opportunity to go to that step and achieve that paper in the official competition, although the hope was slim.

Unexpectedly, these unnecessary preparations were actually used after rebirth, and after a few days to take the Zhuyuan Special Enrollment Examination, you will get these ready-made questions.Maybe you will meet some other opponents you met in last year's competition.

Of course, it took him several years in his previous life to completely pass this hurdle.Now that you are reborn, you can skip the twists and turns in the middle and go straight to the "complete body" of psychological quality.

Of course, Lu Youyou didn't know this. After hearing all this today, she suddenly realized that she thought she had found the truth, and attributed Gu Zhe's huge changes in a short period of time and his sudden maturity to this point.

"It's really like a lifetime away... The impression he gave me back then was that he was good at studying, tenacious and energetic, but in terms of mature thinking, he may not be as mature as me. Now that he has gone through these twists and turns, it is no wonder that he is better than me in all aspects."

Her heart was so agitated, she felt that her face must be burning hot, so she continued to turn her face towards the car window, her heart pounding.

……

Fortunately, this closed and ambiguous environment did not last long.

The Phaeton is speeding on the Binhai Expressway, even if it takes a detour, the bus will take two hours to drive, but it will still arrive in 10 minutes.

After leaving the expressway and reintegrating into the bustling traffic, Lu Youyou quickly stroked her hair and adjusted her mentality: "Are you still in the same place? You have graduated from the college entrance examination, so there is no need to do this again? It will rain in the sky gone."

Gu Zhe was a little dazed, and after careful recollection, he realized what she was talking about.

It turned out that before he was reborn, because he was socially awkward and sensitive, he was afraid of being seen by his rich classmates in the old fisherman's house where he lived.

So much so that in the three years of high school, he took the Lu family's ride home more than [-] times, but never dared to let the other party drive the car to his door directly.

Every time, Gu Zhe used the excuse "I can't trouble the other party to take a detour, so I stopped at the intersection between Lu's house and Gu's house, and he walked back by himself at the last part."

Occasionally, the weather is really bad, and Lu Youyou insists on sending it home out of consideration, so he finds a more grandiose excuse:

“我母亲比较严厉，非常担心我早恋影响学习，被她看到我让女生送我回家，我会挨揍”。

不过，这个借口似乎也随着高考的结束，不能再用了——就算再担心儿子学习的家长，也不至于在儿子已经考上名校后，继续以早恋为理由痛揍吧。

God is not beautiful either.Although it was midsummer, it was cloudy and there seemed to be a thunderstorm before noon.

Facing the olive branch that Lu Youyou stretched out again, Gu Zhe had no choice but to make a decision: "Thank you, just go to the original intersection and turn west a little bit—it's still early in the morning, my parents are busy, there is no one at home. people."

Lu Youyou: "Then you are going..."

Gu Zhe: "Go to my mother's shop."

Lu Youyou suddenly said: "I remembered, you said that auntie runs a restaurant."

When Gu Zhe heard this, he thought it was funny.

Before rebirth, his self-esteem was really sensitive.Obviously his mother was only setting up a barbecue stall at the time, but he put gold on his face in advance, saying that he was running a restaurant.

The car arrived soon, and before Gu Zhe opened the door, he saw his mother rushing out wearing an apron.

It's not yet 11 o'clock, and it's not the peak time for lunch, so there's not much business in the store.

With so much pressure on the family to repay the loan, the mother was naturally eager to solicit customers.In addition, people who run small businesses have sharp eyes. When they saw a luxury car slowing down and pulled over from a distance, they held a poster menu and shouted:
"Does the boss eat seafood barbecue? You can't find anything more authentic than this in Yincheng. Our family supplies directly from the fishing port, and the ones we have eaten are all good."

Gu Zhe got out of the car quickly: "Mom, my classmate dropped me off to take me back. It's raining, so what are you doing out here?"

As he spoke, he filially pulled his mother back to the eaves first, took the rag hanging next to him, and helped his mother wipe off the rainwater that had just fallen on her back.

Lu Youyou didn't plan to get out of the car, nor did she plan to meet Gu Zhe's family, she just wanted to see this place.

Hearing that Gu Zhe called Mom, out of politeness, she didn't want to get out of the way, so she also got out of the car to say hello:

"Hello, Auntie. I'm Gu Zhe's classmate. My name is Lu Tanyou. Gu Zhe is such a nice person. If he hadn't been for my advice this time, I wouldn't have dared to apply for Tunghai University."

Chu Xiu subconsciously looked at her appearance, and immediately smiled all over her face:

"It's classmate Xiao Lu, come in quickly, I'm sorry to trouble you to send him back. He's really polite, after all, he's from a scholarly family."

Gu Zhe's family members have never met Lu Youyou in person, but they all know that their son has such a female classmate.

After all, I was at the same table for two years in junior high school, and when I graduated from junior high school, my parents would also ask, "Is anyone else in your class admitted to Zhenyang Middle School".

So Chu Xiu saw her in his son's junior high school graduation photo three years ago, and he was astonished and deeply impressed at that time.

After three years, Lu Youyou was under a lot of pressure, concentrated on her studies, and it took three more years to retire from the youth team. She was at least a dozen catties more plump than her junior high school graduation photo, but she was not as good-looking as her peak.

Even so, when Chu Xiu saw her, she still felt in her heart, "How could my son be worthy of such an outstanding and well-educated eldest lady, just a few more glances would be a blessing."

After saying hello, Chu Xiu sincerely invited: "It's rare to come here, it's almost lunch time, let's have a bite before leaving, and let the driver come in to rest. Is there any seafood that can't be eaten? First, roast a dozen oysters and two golden pomfrets Try the fish, you will never find anything better in Yincheng..."

Lu Youyou's house is all ready, and she definitely can't eat here, but she also wants to take care of Chu Xiu's face, so she said gently and decently:
"Auntie, you are so polite, and Gu Zhe is really, you didn't tell me that this store belongs to your family - I have passed by here many times, and I have heard people from my father's company say that it tastes good.

But today, the house is really ready, next time it will be—hey, Gu Zhe said the day before yesterday that he would invite us to a dinner party.I must let him invite him here, otherwise it won't count. "

After hearing this, Chu Xiu also felt that she had both face and etiquette, so she didn't insist anymore, and sent her back to the car with eyes full of appreciation.

As the Phaeton drove away, Chu Xiucai sighed: "Oh, the little girl from a rich family, even if she is polite and has good grades, you are doing well enough. It's your parents who are sorry for you."

Gu Zhe's forehead was covered with black lines: "Mom, what are you talking about, I have classmates and friends, why should you be sorry?"
