Chapter 512: The Lady of the Republic of China Kills the Male and Female Protagonists (14)
After buying the car, Jin Shu found a foreign teacher for herself.
Every day, she would set aside two hours to take English lessons from a foreign teacher.
One lesson costs five yuan, and there are two lessons a day, which is extremely expensive.
The secretary who had just been hired couldn't help asking Jin Shu why she didn't just hire a translator. With the money she had earned from self-study, she could have more than enough to hire a translator.
But Jin Shu shook her head.
"I don't feel comfortable handing my right to speak to someone else."
The words she said were all transmitted to the ears of foreigners through the translator's mouth. If there was one more word or one less word, it might lead to a different result.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to hold the right to speak in her own hands.
Anyway, she has plenty of time to make up for the lessons she missed in the first half of her life.
In addition to the English teacher, Jin Shu also hired a Russian teacher for herself.
The secretary watched her learn two languages at the same time every day, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether her young boss was smart or ambitious.
Jin Shu was busy all day long. She watched the workers produce during the day, attended classes at night, and memorized books during her free time.
After she had a general understanding of the basic usage of English, Jin Shu realized that if she wanted to learn English well, without a perfect communication environment, the only way left was to memorize by rote.
Jin Shu bought a recorder specifically, which recorded all foreign news broadcasts and novel recitations.
At first, Jin Shu couldn't understand what the people in the recorder were saying, but as she mastered more and more words and learned grammar more and more fluently, she gradually began to understand the simple conversations in the recorder.
As for Russian, the same is true.
Memorize by rote.
Jin Shu had never realized that she seemed to have a strong talent for learning languages.
Even though she didn't know how long it would take for a person to learn from the most basic 26 English letters to be able to have a simple conversation, she felt that she might be a genius after she found that she could have a simple oral conversation with her English teacher within a month.
The English teacher asked her if she had studied English systematically before.
Jin Shu thought about it and nodded.
The English teacher had an expression of "I knew it".
"At first you said you had never been exposed to English, but I didn't believe it.
People who have never been exposed to English need half a month to learn the simplest grammar, not to mention free conversation through these grammars.
So I guess you must have studied English for a long time before."
"It seems that I can't hide it from you at all. Yes, I did learn it."
"Looking at your current English learning speed, I need to change the teaching content.
Next, I will focus on oral communication with you, after all, your purpose is to communicate fluently with foreign businessmen."
"Well, please prepare some convenient professional vocabulary about embroidery and shipbuilding for me, and I will recite more when I have nothing to do."
The English teacher smiled awkwardly.
"I don't really know the vocabulary in this area, but it doesn't matter. My teacher will definitely know. I will go to the school to help you find a few more books after class.
Also, there is a library donated by foreigners in our city. There are many foreign books of all kinds. You only need to apply for a library card to enter and exit freely.
However, a library card requires a local college student ID card to apply for it. I can lend you mine first."
Either college students or international students, in short, there are thresholds to enter this library.
The English teacher gave his library card to Jin Shu. He was so responsible, and Jin Shu was generous and directly sponsored his tuition for the next six months of overseas exchange.
"This is too expensive. I'm sorry I can't accept your kindness."
"You are the best student of Beijing Normal University. You major in English and will be a pillar of the country in the future.
I am just doing this to contribute to the development of the country. If you can learn advanced knowledge from abroad to show your strength for our country, it won't be a waste of my sponsorship."
"This...this is too expensive. I have also collected your tuition. How can I ask for these?"
Jin Shu smiled calmly.
"Just think of me as your sponsor. When you come back from your exchange study, come and help me when you are free, okay?"
The boy's name is Feng Guoxu, a student of the English Department of Beijing Normal University, a real university bully.
The English Department of Beijing Normal University has the opportunity to go abroad for exchange every year, but this opportunity is not only for those who are truly capable, but also for students with superior conditions.
The school will sponsor transportation and tuition fees, but other expenses still need to be borne by yourself.
At this time, the US dollar is quite valuable internationally, and the exchange rate with the silver dollar is almost 1:3.
The money in China is taken over, except for the silver dollar, copper coins and paper money are not worth anything at all.
Feng Guoxu once mentioned it casually with self-mockery, but he didn't expect Jin Shu to remember it until now.
"Then I will refund you the tuition you paid before."
"Let's put it in a different way. Tuition is tuition, sponsorship is sponsorship. I'm a businessman, and I have to keep things separate.
Anyway, don't worry, go ahead. When you come back, I hope you can help me with your advanced knowledge."
Feng Guoxu was naturally ecstatic about this unexpected opportunity.
After class today, he left with many thanks. Before leaving, he lent his student ID to Jin Shu, telling her that she could visit the school anytime after he went out to study.
Jin Shu was indeed very interested in the university. She accepted the student ID card and watched Feng Guoxu board the ocean-going ship a few days later.
At this time, the first batch of embroidery products of Jin's Embroidery Workshop had been produced ahead of schedule.
Jin Shu was not in a hurry to deliver the goods, but waited until the three-month deadline to ship the goods to the North Building Chamber of Commerce.
The vice president had already seen the site and samples before, and nodded repeatedly with satisfaction.
"I was right about your Jin family. You and your father are both born businessmen."
"Uncle Zhao, you are too kind."
"Come with me on the delivery date in a while. I will introduce you to a foreign businessman."
Jin Shu nodded and took a sum of money with a smile.
"If this batch of goods is favored by foreign businessmen, the next batch of goods will not be of this quantity. You must not let me down."
"Don't worry, Uncle Zhao."
During the time waiting for delivery, Jin Shu finally had some free time.
That day, she took her library card to the library in the city center. As soon as she entered, she went straight to the professional area she needed, and saw the English translation of "History of Chinese Silk" at a glance.
In addition, there are English books related to the shipbuilding industry.
Because the library has a high entry threshold, there are not many people in it.
Jin Shu was sitting by the glass window with a book in her hand, and suddenly a puzzled voice came from in front of her.
"Jin Shu? Why are you here?"
