Chapter 971: Battle of Fame
Han Li entered the examination room at 1:30 and started the exam. He handed in the first Russian paper at 2:35, the second Mongolian paper at around 3:40, the third Burmese paper at around 5, and the Red Dot language paper at 6.
Han Li surprised the teachers and students watching him with his speed in the afternoon, especially the invigilators, who knew the accuracy of Han Li's answers on the paper.
Although Principal Wen could not go to mark the papers, he learned Han Li's approximate score from the invigilators, and now he was laughing so hard that his eyes were almost invisible.
However, when Han Li handed in the last paper and sorted out his things, it was already past six o'clock. After Principal Wen took him to eat, it was almost eight o'clock.
There were no buses from Tong County to Sijiu City at this time. If you want to go back to the city, you must have a special car.
Principal Wen's level doesn't have a special car. If there was, he and Han Li would not have taken the bus when they came.
However, Principal Wen did not let Han Li spend the night in the dormitory of Beijing Foreign Studies University like other candidates. He directly booked a room for Han Li in a nearby guesthouse and told him that he did not need to participate in the competition tomorrow and could sleep until any time he wanted.
Because this competition involved many colleges and universities, when the professors who graded the papers for the candidates gave the corresponding grades, the teachers who came with their respective schools could review their students' papers under the supervision of others.
If there were any questions, they would be raised immediately for discussion. If there were no opinions, the results would be announced according to the grades given by the professors.
In this way, there was basically no way to conduct the next exam the next day.
Principal Wen therefore gave Han Li a day off, but it was impossible to sleep all night. Han Li's biological clock formed by years of habit would not let him sleep until dawn.
While the professors and teachers who were marking the papers were busy, Han Li was a little bored and returned to the guesthouse from the street.
First of all, Beijing Second Foreign Language School is outside the Fifth Ring Road in the future. It is not close to Sijiu City and is a long way from Tong County. It is stuck in the middle. There is nothing to see, play, or buy nearby. Moreover, the sky where Han Li was strolling on the street just now began to snow. It would be more comfortable to go back to the guesthouse and get into bed to drink tea and read books.
When Han Li was bored today, Principal Wen was very excited and in high spirits.
Many college teachers knew about Han Li's battle yesterday. Even those professors who marked the papers were very trustworthy, but they still took out Han Li's papers and checked them.
Han Li's papers were not only neat and smooth, but also looked very comfortable. Moreover, the accuracy rate reached more than 95%. Many people checked them and got similar results.
The results of the inspection were obvious. Many papers were there. These college teachers could only congratulate Yan University for producing a good seedling.
However, after returning, the college teachers who led the team started their own classes and told them to be 100% alert when they met Han Li in the oral competition.
Because this oral test was changed by these people to a foreign language attack, that is, everyone took the attitude of enemies and friends and started a verbal contest in foreign languages around a topic, which was a bit similar to a debate, but without such rigorous logic and serious attitude.
That night, after Principal Wen went to the guesthouse to tell Han Li the news, he took him to eat mutton in the snow to celebrate the victory of this competition.
The next day, the snow was still falling, and it was heavier than yesterday.
Han Li and Principal Wen stepped on the snow to Beijing Foreign Studies University to take the listening test in the morning and the reading test in the afternoon.
However, Han Li still had to take eight exams this time, and many people wanted to see his performance today, so Han Li still enjoyed the treatment of being bombarded with various foreign languages by more than 20 invigilators in a classroom.
Needless to say, Han Li got better scores in the listening and reading exams than in the written exams, which also made his reputation well-known among the students who took the exams and among the current students of Beijing Foreign Studies University.
Many people applied to watch the oral competition tomorrow. The school leaders of Beijing Foreign Studies University were quite supportive of their students' attitude. In this era when students can only learn words by tape, an oral competition will definitely benefit students a lot.
There were also teachers and leaders from other universities who had the same idea as Beijing Foreign Studies University. They called their own schools on the same day and asked them to organize some top foreign language students to come and listen tomorrow.
However, this was limited to schools in Beijing, such as Yanda, Huaqing, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Diplomacy University, and Renmin University. Even if schools outside the city wanted to let their students learn more, they could not bring their students here. They could only borrow tape recorders to record the oral competition.
Even so, the large number of applicants made the competition venue originally prepared by Beijing Foreign Studies University for tomorrow insufficient. They had to find someone to decorate the school auditorium as a competition venue overnight.
The snow had stopped in the early morning of the oral competition. After Han Li and Principal Wen had breakfast, they waited for the students from the Foreign Language Department of Yanda University at the gate of Beijing Foreign Studies University.
When Han Li and his team were picking up people at the school gate, schools like Huaqing, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Diplomacy University, and Renmin University were also picking up people. When these people saw Principal Wen and Han Li, they immediately came over.
However, when they chatted with each other, they only said some official words that were not very meaningful.
The teacher leading the team from Huaqing also said that after the superiors agreed to restore the three degree systems of bachelor, master and doctor, they were willing to help Han Li obtain the corresponding degree.
Principal Wen immediately retorted the teacher leading the team from Huaqing, but it was precisely because Huaqing was shameless and spoke first that the teachers leading the teams from other schools were all excited.
However, their words were not so direct. They just invited Han Li to come to their school to give two classes after the competition and teach the students some tips on foreign languages.
There was no fool present, and Principal Wen was so angry about these people's shameless words that his eyebrows were about to stand up.
Fortunately, the people from Yan University came at this time. The teachers leading the team from Yan University this time were Teacher Niu from the English class, Teacher Zhang from the German class, and Teacher Jiao from the Russian class.
As for the number of students, there were only more than 20 people, and Han Li knew all of them.
After everyone met, they exchanged pleasantries, then praised Han Li, said hello to people from other schools, and a group of people surrounded Han Li and walked towards today's competition venue, chatting and laughing.
More and more people came to Beijing Foreign Studies University today, but it was precisely because of this that this game made Han Li famous. At the same time, it also won him many, many connections different from those on Mr. Liu's side.
