Chapter 62: Plan A Prequel (2)

  "School will definitely use e-dogs tomorrow!" San Baozi said after listening to Lao Da's detailed plan.

  "No big deal! The wireless earbuds I bought this time are the latest products, anti-shielding and anti-electronic dog, the school's equipment is already outdated, can't detect them!" Lao Da proudly showed off, just like a brand ambassador for this wireless earbud, doing an advertisement for it, while also letting me understand from another angle the different meanings of Deng Grandfather's famous saying "Science and technology are the primary productive forces"......

  Out of caution, the boss designated a hotel not far from school as the command center and implementation site for this operation. Considering that on weekends, couples who have been suppressed for a week will choose small hotels around the school to experience the romance of the two worlds and solve their physical needs at the same time, causing a short-term and cyclical shortage of rooms in these hotels. The boss specifically instructed San Baozi to avoid the peak period of room booking traffic and grab a room before dinner on weekends, ahead of many couples. However, the boss obviously made a common sense mistake, ignoring San Baozi's lack of experience in opening a room for three years in college. Due to this lack of experience, San Baozi was not accurate enough to grasp the peak period of traffic, and when he walked to the nearest hotel, it was already fully booked. At this time, San Baozi thought of the boss's entrustment and the confident gaze in his eyes, feeling that he could not disappoint the boss and everyone's expectations. He searched all the hotels around the school with gritted teeth. Perhaps San Baozi's perseverance finally moved God, and he found an empty room in a small hotel without a signboard...

  It was a gloomy morning on the day of the CET-4 exam, as if foreshadowing that the implementation of "Plan A" would encounter some twists and turns. The whole dormitory got up early under the leadership of Lao Da, washed up, dressed neatly, and set out with a determined mindset, carrying the expectations and entrustments of Lao Da's girlfriend. On the way, they encountered many couples who had just experienced romantic passion and were rushing back to school with tired faces. Occasionally, they bumped into acquaintances, but most of them turned their heads and pretended not to see them. Only a few would wave and greet them with a mixture of enthusiasm and embarrassment. From their attitude towards this matter, it can be seen that many people belong to the contradictory social group of "wanting to be promiscuous but also wanting to be chaste".

  After our group of people entered the inn, the landlady's terrified gaze could be seen that she had a very suspicious attitude towards our purpose of squeezing into one room. Although the nature of the hotel industry in the campus area determined that the landlady was knowledgeable and open-minded, I guess she had only seen two women and one man or one man and two women walking into a room together, but for many burly men with tragic expressions crowding into a narrow room, it was probably difficult for her to understand with her current wisdom.

  There was almost half an hour left before the scheduled action, and everyone chose their own way to pass the boring time while relaxing a bit of the tense atmosphere. At this moment, perhaps it was unintentional or perhaps it was for the purpose of morning exercise, the rooms next door all started to emit moans that sparked imagination...

  Lao Er puffed on his cigarette, gazing out the window with an air of detachment, perfectly embodying the calm and composure that a seasoned person should possess in such an exhilarating environment. In contrast, San Baozi, who was also looking out the window, had a twisted expression, his hands wandering aimlessly around his navel, creating a stark contrast.

  "Lao Si, how did you pass the CET-4 exam?" Lao Er suddenly extinguished his cigarette and said with deep feeling. Lao Er's question was also what our dormitory mates were concerned about, because I really wondered how someone who often used "close your mouth" to express something that could be easily conveyed by "shut up" managed to pass the CET-4 and CET-6 exams.

  "I'm not sure either, it's all a blur!" said the fourth elder, who was currently fighting with the first and seventh elders, absent-mindedly.

  "You said you were guessing on the listening part after finishing the test that time!"

  "Ah! Don't mention it! Damn it! The radio was out of power when I arrived at the exam venue, so I gritted my teeth and filled in all the listening answers as B! I didn't expect to pass!" From Old Fourth's tone of surprise, you can sense that even a year after the incident, he still can't fully believe such a bizarre thing happened.

  "It seems that the probability of B being correct is a bit higher! Damn, I'll try it this time too!" The second child made a concluding statement after remaining silent for half a day.

  The mobile phone of the elder suddenly rang with a text message, indicating that the answer to the trial had been sent to the elder's mobile phone. This also indicated that "Plan A" was about to be formally implemented. So under the unified command of the elder, we began to get busy in a tense manner...

  The implementation of the plan was unexpectedly smooth, and when we walked out of the hotel and onto the campus, it coincided with the crowd of people who had just finished taking the CET-4 exam. At this moment, careful observation and attention would reveal that the topics exchanged between people who came out of the examination room a few years ago and those who did so a few years later have undergone fundamental changes.

  Among the crowd of students walking out of the examination room, you can clearly hear "Did you cheat?" This heartfelt concern for each other, or excitedly sharing their own cheating experiences, or interestingly telling the people around them about the thrilling experience of cheating. While some officials from relevant departments proudly announce to the world that China is a major power in learning English and show off the steadily increasing passing rates of various English exams every year, we should also be proud of the attitude of not being discouraged by difficulties and being good at using technological means to boldly innovate among contemporary college students.

  Thanks to the precious exercise of "A Plan Prologue", we have explored a theoretical framework that suits our actual situation in utilizing high-tech cheating, which enabled those who had not yet passed the four-level exam in our dormitory to successfully implement "A Plan" in the subsequent four-level exam. When the bell rang at the end of the exam, marking the moment when the four-level exam, which had once been a dream for countless people, was easily passed by us, Old Two returned to the dormitory and tore up and burned all books with English letters to vent his years of repression due to the four-level exam. This made me wonder if one of the motivations behind Qin Shi Huang's order to "burn books and bury Confucians" thousands of years ago was also a distortion of personality caused by learning pressure in his youth. At the same time, it reminded me of Emerson's famous quote: "Every book that is burned lights up the world..."

  After crossing the threshold of the fourth level, the final exam is one of the things that has been paid more experience in the remaining days. In this university group, no matter what role you play, the final exam cannot be avoided. Only when preparing for the final exam can you feel a few strands of learning atmosphere in this school. The people who lined up at the library gate at 6:00 am performed a silent war to occupy seats, and those who had no choice but to stay in their dormitory to review due to not being able to occupy seats began to carry large and small bags of bread, instant noodles, mineral water and other war materials, determined to sit through the dormitory, which further set off a pre-war atmosphere.

  Qin Keyi's profession made her exams much easier than mine, so every day, except for lunch and dinner when we could briefly meet, I was holed up in my dorm room. Meanwhile, Qin Keyi chose to go window shopping with Zhao Lijia or our dorm mates to make up for the emptiness she felt when I couldn't accompany her, forming a stark contrast with me spending every day in my dorm room, poring over various practice questions and notes.

  After lunch that day, Qin Ke and I went to the dormitory. She was in a hurry to go shopping with Zhao Lijia again, so she took a taxi to Zhao Lijia's house. I slowly walked back to the dormitory, pushed open the door, and a strong, pungent instant noodle smell hit me in the face.

  "Old Two! Can't you change it up a bit? Eating this stuff every day! Will we have enough nutrition to face the exam?" I asked, suppressing my urge to vomit.

  "I've changed! I change every day, the day before yesterday was Fumantou, yesterday was Dong San Fu, today is Kangshifu, and tomorrow... it's temporarily set to Jinmailang, but I'm still hesitant between the spare ribs flavor and the braised beef flavor. Only now do I feel that China's instant noodle industry is not yet on a large scale, if there were more brands for me to choose from in the market, I would update every day and wouldn't be worried about what brand or flavor to eat tomorrow."

  “……”

  Finally made it to the last night before the exam, thinking that after finishing the test tomorrow, I can escape from the dormitory filled with the fragrance of instant noodles, and my heart is full of anticipation.

  San Baozi was still tirelessly making high-level cheat sheets for tomorrow's two exams, while others were lying in bed quietly holding their books for a last-ditch effort.

  "Old Seven! Why are you still reading Guo Mao? Have you finished memorizing Deng Lun's lines?" asked Second Brother, who was lying on the bed.

  "No! I give up! The school is so stupid, scheduling these two subjects together. Who has the time to study both at the same time?! So I made a choice, after repeated consideration, I decided to abandon Deng's theory and focus all my energy on conquering International Trade. As for Deng's theory, I'll deal with it when I come back to school for the makeup exam!" Old Two heard this, put down the Deng's theory practice questions he was looking at, and picked up the International Trade book again...

  The urgent mood of returning home due to the last exam made me hand in my paper 20 minutes early, and after simply packing up in the dormitory, I said goodbye to Old Big who was packing his luggage to take the train and Old Seven who was sitting on the bed worrying about not being able to buy a ticket back home. I hurriedly rushed to the love nest that I had been away from for half a month with Qin Ke Yi, and on the way, apart from feeling a little excited thinking about sleeping with Qin Ke Yi every night again, I was also surprised that this time the school's regulations changed its usual nature and actually held on until the summer vacation...

  Qin Keyi's exam ended a day earlier than mine, so she also returned home a day ahead of me. When I entered the house, she immediately came over to hug me and gave me a deep kiss, which instantly made half of my fatigue accumulated from preparing for the exams disappear. From this, I also realized that although Qin Keyi usually gives people the impression of being cold as ice in front of strangers, she is actually a passionate and enthusiastic girl at heart. Once she invests her emotions, she will pour out her feelings like a bursting dam without any reserve.
