From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 26 Zhou Lanxin

While Lin Mo was thinking about how to improve his way of learning English, he was also thinking about how to complete the special tasks issued by the system.

Improve your English to proficient level in one week?

Lin Mo glanced at the current value and calculated it silently.

Linguistics (Entry Level) – English: Entry Level (217/1000)

If every daily task within this week can award 100 science points, that is, 700 points.

After calculating this, I only need to improve my English subject value by 7 points in 83 days.

It doesn't seem like a big problem...

Not a big ghost!
Considering that I can only increase my English subject value by almost 6 points every day, I can only increase it by 7 points in 42 days, which is only half the distance from 84 points. This gap is really big.

Calculating this, this task cannot be completed at all!

No, the system will never issue tasks that cannot be completed.

Lin Mo forced himself to calm down and read the mission description carefully and repeatedly.

Speaking of listening, speaking, reading and writing, the most I can do now is reading and writing, and only half of it. Does that mean that if I also do the other half, my English learning efficiency will be improved?

Therefore, as long as I can pick up the other half, the learning speed will immediately double to 12 points, and then 7 days will be 84 points, which is just enough for me to improve my English to proficient level in 7 days.

That's how it should be.

It turns out that this is what the system means!
Then the next step is to solve the problem of listening and speaking.

Listening and speaking, what better way to practice your listening and speaking skills than talking to others?

So, I need to find someone to practice speaking with me?It is best to find a professional in the English department.

but……

Lin Mo was a little confused because he didn't know who to look for.

Although he has been in school all these years, he is not a fresh graduate. In the past three years, he has only focused on reviewing and taking postgraduate exams behind closed doors for three years. He has basically no communication with other people, let alone his classmates. He had no friends, and if it weren't for the other postgraduate entrance examination dogs living in the basement, he probably wouldn't have anyone to talk to.

So he didn't know any classmates or friends who were good at English, nor did he know any professionals in the English department. For a while, he couldn't think of anyone to ask for help.

You mean looking for a roommate?Don't be ridiculous, their level may not be as good as mine.

Lin Mo was in trouble, and it seemed that he could only trouble Teacher Zhang again.

Doing whatever comes to mind and waiting for death has never been Lin Mo's style.

……

"Teacher in the English department?"

Zhang Qihua looked at Lin Mo with some surprise.

"Yes, Teacher Zhang, I want to improve my English listening and speaking, so I would like to trouble you to introduce me to the teachers in the English department."

Lin Mo was a little embarrassed.

"That's it."

Zhang Qihua thought for a moment.

"Then let me contact you. Do you know Mr. Zhou? Do you think it's okay?"

Seeing Lin Mo's bewildered face, Zhang Qihua followed up with an explanation.

"It's Teacher Zhou Lanxin Zhou who taught you and was an English teacher in your class."

Although Lin Mo still couldn't remember who Zhou Lanxin was, he still nodded to show that he knew.

Although I don't remember who Zhou Lanxin is, since I can be an English teacher at Dongshan University, my level is certainly not bad. After all, the requirements for being a teacher at Dongshan University are still very high, and a doctorate is only the entry barrier.

"Does Teacher Zhou have the same high teaching level as you? Do you also teach graduate students?"

"Ok?"

Zhang Qihua glared at Lin Mo. "Your brother is a bastard. Teacher Zhou is a professor in the English Department. It's your luck to be able to ask Teacher Zhou for help. Why did you choose him for me?"

"no no."

Lin Mo waved his hands repeatedly.

"I just……"

"Okay, I'll call Teacher Zhou and ask her if she can help."

After speaking, Zhang Qihua picked up his mobile phone and started calling.

After a few minutes, Zhang Qihua hung up the phone.

"Okay, I told Teacher Zhou. She is in the office right now. You can go directly to her."

"Thank you, Teacher Zhang!"

Lin Mo was overjoyed and turned around to leave.

"Hey, wait a minute, please be polite and respectful when you meet Teacher Zhou. And do you know where Teacher Zhou's office is? It's in the English Teaching and Research Office of the Department of Foreign Languages..."

Looking at the back of Lin Mo leaving in a hurry, Zhang Qihua chased after him and shouted.

"understood!"

……

10 minute later.

Lin Mo found the Foreign Languages ​​Institute.

Although he didn't know any English majors, Lin Mo still knew which way the door of the Foreign Languages ​​School opened.

Lin Mo quickly found the English teaching and research section.

This is a large open office with more than ten work stations, each of which is separated by baffles.

Because it was class time, there were not many teachers in the teaching and research room. There were only two people sitting at the desk chatting about something. They looked like a pair of teachers and students.

Before Lin Mo came, he was still searching in his memory what Mr. Zhou looked like. If he admitted it wrong for a while, he would be embarrassed. But now that he saw this situation, he would definitely not admit it wrong.

Lin Mo didn't hesitate, knocked on the door, and walked straight towards the two of them.

"Hello, Teacher Zhou, my name is Lin Mo. Teacher Zhang Qihua called you just now."

Lin Mo came to the man who looked older, like a teacher.

Zhou Lanxin looked at Lin Mo, a little confused. Zhang Qihua said on the phone just now that Lin Mo was a student in the class she had taught. But maybe it had been too long and she had taught many classes, so she looked at Lin Mo with a little jealousy. She couldn't remember, but out of the teacher's instinct, she still answered:

"Classmate Lin Mo, right? Do you need my help? Do you have any English problems?"

"Teacher, I want to improve my English listening and speaking skills, so I would like to ask you, teacher, to help me with surprise training for a few days..."

Before Lin Mo finished speaking, Zhou Lanxin interrupted him.

"I'm sorry, classmate Lin Mo, I usually have teaching tasks. If you just have questions that need to be answered, I can help you with this. But training for a few days, this... I'm really sorry, I really don't have the time and energy..."

Lin Mo also knew that his request was indeed a bit embarrassing for the other party, so he quickly continued:

"It's okay, teacher, that's it. I also know that you are busy. I have an academic report to give recently, and I need to speak in English the whole time, but my speaking..."

In order to show his urgency, Lin Mo specially gave a reason.

"So, teacher, could you please arrange for your Ph.D. or graduate students to give me some tutoring and a surprise attack? It won't take long, just 7 days, 7 days will be enough. Of course, you won't let your students go to waste." If you are busy, I can pay you accordingly."

"Teacher, look..."

From the beginning, Lin Mo didn't expect to ask Zhou Lanxin to help him with surprise training. This was why he asked Zhang Qihua before if Zhou Lanxin would bring a graduate student.

Lin Mo's plan is to find a doctorate, graduate student or something to help him with the attack. According to the system, the entry level is from undergraduate to doctoral level, so finding a graduate student should be enough.
