Rebirth of the Entrepreneurship Era

Hearing that Xu Yiyang said that he was a student of Yingzhou No. 1 Middle School, Director Cai and everyone else around were stunned.

No one expected that a high school student's English level would be able to talk and laugh with foreigners with ease.

Isn't this amazing?

Director Cai sighed: "I didn't expect that the English teachers in No. 1 Middle School are more timid than the other, but the students are really good!"

After that, he asked Xu Yiyang curiously: "Xiao Xu, why is your English level so good?"

Xu Yiyang hurriedly said: "In addition to studying normally at school, I also learned some through watching movies, TV, listening to music and reading English books. It can be regarded as accumulated over time."

"Okay!" Director Cai praised, turned to the female reporter and said, "Reporter Chen, you must report on the outstanding performance of this student Xu Yiyang, and let our students and parents in Yingzhou see it. You can’t just focus on taking exams, you must be able to listen and speak, you must be able to use it in practice, and you can directly communicate with people in English, this is the fundamental purpose of learning English!”

The young female reporter on the side nodded hastily and said, "Don't worry, Director Cai, we will definitely publicize the report well when we go back."

As far as the news quality of Yingzhou TV's news programs is concerned, today's incident is already high-quality material and can be included in the main content.

Director Cai said to Xu Yiyang again: "Xiao Xu, please ask Mr. Lauter, what is the relationship between his grandfather and our Yingzhou? You say that an old German man wants to scatter his ashes into the Yellow River , why do I feel a little panicked..."

Xu Yiyang nodded, immediately translated into English, and asked Thomas Lauter.

Thomas Lauter looked at the rushing Yellow River and said with emotion: "Actually, my grandfather was born in China. He was born in Qingdao in 1914."

Xu Yiyang asked in surprise: "Qingdao should have been a German colony at that time, right?"

"Yes." Thomas Laut nodded, fearing that Xu Yiyang and others would be sensitive to this period of history, he hastily explained: "But neither my great-grandfather nor my great-grandmother were soldiers, and my great-grandfather was sent to Qingdao by a German company My great-grandmother had just married him at the time, so she came with him."

Then, Thomas Lauter continued to explain: "After the RB declared war on Germany and occupied Qingdao in 1914, the company where my great-grandfather worked asked them to return to Germany as soon as possible because it was not safe to stay in Qingdao. The sea route has been blocked by RB people, they can only choose to go to Jin City by land, and then return to China by boat from Jin City."

"However, my grandfather was just born at that time, only a few months old, and he couldn't travel all the way with them, so when they passed by Yingzhou, they temporarily fostered him in the homes of local people, planning to wait for the situation to stabilize. Come take him back."

Speaking of this, Thomas Lauter sighed and said: "However, the ship that my great-grandfather and great-grandmother were on was shipwrecked on the way back to Germany, so my grandfather has been living here for twelve years, twelve years. Afterwards, my grandfather was found by his grandfather, who brought him back to Germany."

While listening carefully, Xu Yiyang translated Thomas Lauter's words to the people around him.

Only then did everyone understand why an old German man grew up in Yingzhou and had such deep affection for the Yellow River.

It turned out that the old man had lived in Yingzhou for twelve years after his birth.

At this time, Thomas Lauter walked to the edge of the Yellow River, carefully opened the jar containing the ashes, and slowly scattered the ashes into the Yellow River.

After doing this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "My grandfather has always been very grateful to the people of Yingzhou for raising him, so he hopes to contribute to the education of Yingzhou, which can be regarded as repaying Yingzhou's kindness to him. "

Director Cai listened to Xu Yiyang's translation and said earnestly: "Thank you for the old man's concern for Yingzhou,

I also thank the elderly for their generous support of Yingzhou education! "

Thomas Lauter said sincerely: "No, no, what I really want to thank is the people of Yingzhou for their kindness in nurturing my grandfather!"

After finishing speaking, Thomas Lauter said again: "Mr. Cai, let's take some time to talk carefully about the donation."

Director Cai hurriedly said: "Well, let's go back to the Education Bureau to have lunch first, and then we will sit down and talk about donations in the afternoon. What do you think?"

After Xu Yiyang translated, Thomas Lauter said: "Thank you for your kindness, but there is no need to eat. My wife is a bit tired from traveling all the way. I want to go to the hotel to rest for a while, and then go to the Education Bureau in the afternoon to talk to you in detail."

After listening to Xu Yiyang's translation, Director Cai hurriedly asked, "Which hotel are you two staying at now?"

Thomas Lauter said: "We haven't had time to find a hotel. We went to the Education Bureau as soon as we arrived in Yingzhou, so now we will find a hotel to stay in."

Director Cai hurriedly said to Xu Yiyang: "Xiao Xu, tell Mr. Lauter that since they haven't found a hotel yet, they might as well live in a guest house in the city. Our Education Bureau has long-term fixed rooms there, and the environment is not bad. Nice and clean."

Xu Yiyang translated his words to Thomas Lauter.

After listening to Thomas Laut, he also weighed it up. He was also afraid that the language barrier would be more troublesome. Since Director Cai can arrange accommodation, he will save himself a little trouble

So, he said, "Okay, Xu, please help me thank Director Cai."

Xu Yiyang nodded, and after explaining clearly to Director Cai, Director Cai said: "Xiao Xu, then you should follow along, otherwise it will be troublesome if you don't understand the language when you arrive at the guest house."

Xu Yiyang hurriedly said: "Director Cai, I came here by bicycle..."

Director Cai greeted his secretary and said, "Xiao Hu, help Xiao Xu ride his bike to the city guest house, and ride there first."

The secretary hurriedly nodded and agreed, and asked Xu Yiyang for the car key, then pedaled against the wind and left first.

Xu Yiyang followed Director Cai and Thomas Lauter and his wife to the old Santana of the Education Bureau and went directly to the city guest house.

The city guest house is near the city government residence, and many government agencies are also nearby. The location is relatively close to the city center, and it's not too far from Xu Yiyang's home.

After Xu Yiyang accompanied Thomas Lauter and his wife to go through the accommodation procedures and got the keys, Thomas Lauter said to him: "Xu, my wife and I will take a rest first, and you can go home to rest too. Let's make an appointment in the afternoon Time, meet at the Education Bureau, what do you think?"

Xu Yiyang naturally agreed, after all, the money has already been collected.

So he said to Thomas Lauter: "No problem, Mr. Lauter, you decide the time and place."

Thomas Lauter thought for a while and said, "Then let's meet at the Education Bureau at two o'clock in the afternoon. Is there any problem with Director Cai?"

Xu Yiyang said: "I have no problem, I will ask Director Cai again."

After speaking, I reported to Director Cai again.

Director Cai thought for a moment, then said: "Okay, no problem at two o'clock, then make an appointment at the Education Bureau at two o'clock, and I will ask Secretary Hu to wait for you at the gate."

After finishing speaking, Director Cai frowned, and asked the people around him, "Has Xiao Hu not kicked back yet?"

A staff member of the Education Bureau said: "Not yet."

Director Cai said angrily, "Why are you so slow?"

Xu Yiyang hurriedly said: "Director Cai, it's quite a distance to ride from the embankment, it's seven or eight miles, and it's still against the wind."

When Director Cai heard this, his face softened.

At this time, Secretary Hu, who was so disgraced, finally came back on Xu Yiyang's mountain bike.

Xu Yiyang took back his car, and said to Director Cai: "Director Cai, I'm going home if I have nothing to do, and I'll be here on time at two o'clock in the afternoon."

Director Cai nodded and said with a smile, "Be careful on the road!"
