Xingcheng No.1 Middle School.
This is one of the countless examination venues for the college entrance examination.
As the most important exam that determines the fate of a generation of young people, the college entrance examination can be said to be an annual event. All parties have shown great attention to it. The area around the examination halls has been blocked. Students take the exam on campus, and countless parents are eagerly waiting outside the school.
Of course, in addition to students' parents, there is another group that is eagerly waiting - media reporters.
Although the college entrance examination is held once a year, as a major event, it is also a hot news of some importance. Even if you don't want to chase the popularity, you have to post one or two reports for the sake of the official face.
Therefore, various television stations, especially local television stations, usually have a reserved program for the college entrance examination over the years, reporting on the college entrance examination site and interviewing the first few candidates who have finished the exam.
However, these media are basically taking a break at this time, because there is still a full half hour before the end of the exam.
But there are exceptions to everything. Although teachers and schools do not recommend submitting papers early, the rules allow it to be submitted half an hour in advance.
Just look, half an hour before the end of the exam, a student walked out of the gate of Xingcheng No. 1 Middle School on time.
"Hurry, hurry, go up and interview, set up the camera."
Several media reporters quickly perked up, pulled the photographer and carried the camera and went to meet him: "Classmate, hello classmate, can we do a simple interview?"
"Can I answer no?"
The student said faintly.
If an ordinary student faced this kind of situation, he would definitely panic for a moment, but this student obviously wouldn't, because he was Xia Xu, who had finally slept until the time allowed to hand in the test paper early after finishing it.
Although he was not very enthusiastic about this kind of interview, he was obviously not at a loss as to what to do.
But anyway, he doesn't want to be too prominent.
Although showing one's face in college entrance examination news interviews is not a sensitive matter, it is better to have less trouble than more.
"Uh... ahem, no."
The reporter in charge of the interview was a pure and sweet-looking female reporter, who was also choked by Xia Xu's unexpected answer.
After all, most people don’t mind being on TV, and high school students are at an age when they love to be in the spotlight.
In the past, the most common situations encountered during interviews were poor results due to stage fright or a few perfunctory remarks. Direct rejection was very rare.
Fortunately, she reacted well on the spot and got away with it by pretending to be embarrassed and joking.
"Okay, then I hope you can give me a code when editing."
Xia Xu said indifferently.
"No problem, I'll talk to the post-production team. Can we start the interview now?"
The female reporter smiled sweetly upon hearing this.
Xia Xu nodded: "Ask."
"Excuse me, classmate, did you hand in your paper early?"
The female reporter finished speaking while holding the microphone, and then handed the microphone to Xia Xu.
"I don't think this is a question that needs to be answered. After all, I can't have escaped."
Xia Xu spread his hands and shrugged.
Of course, this is not a tone of criticism, but rather a humorous and joking tone.
Seeing Xia Xu's calm and relaxed state, and his willingness to make a few humorous comments, the female reporter was slightly surprised, and then continued to ask: "Why did you hand in the paper in advance? The college entrance examination is a very important exam, don't you need to check it carefully several times?"
These are actually very meaningless questions, because this kind of interview questioning is basically routine, and those who are sent to conduct interviews are usually newcomers and those who are frustrated.
"Because I have more important things to do."
Xia Xu smiled.
The female reporter made a timely comment, showing a curious look: "Oh? Can you tell me what is more important than the college entrance examination?"
"Of course, I start a company and make money."
Xia Xu smiled and said, "I just founded a company recently. I am about to become the CEO and marry a beautiful, wealthy woman to reach the peak of my life. I spend hundreds of thousands of dollars every minute, so I need to hurry up and handle company affairs."
He knew that no one would believe him if he said this, so he spoke in a joking tone.
"Student, please answer seriously. Although I admire your sense of variety, this is a serious news interview, not a variety show. This will be on TV news."
As expected, the female reporter couldn't help but chuckle, then quickly composed herself and spoke seriously.
"Okay, let's be serious. After all, it's Chinese. I don't think I can improve my score no matter how much I check. It's better to hand in the paper early than to sleep there."
Xia Xu shrugged helplessly and spread his hands.
This is a serious answer.
In the Chinese language exam, other questions are okay, but when it comes to composition, the examiners’ subjective judgment is too heavy.
Moreover, grading is usually conservative, with a few points deducted as a token of respect, so there is no chance for him to get full marks in all subjects.
However, other people naturally understood this as his Chinese grades were not good, so he gave up and handed in the paper early.
"How do you know it's impossible if you don't try? You should try your best, classmate. You only have one chance to take the college entrance examination."
The female reporter tried to persuade him kindly, but was soon urged back on by a colleague next to her.
It turned out that the school gate was opened again, and students who handed in their papers early came out.
This kind of interview is of course impossible to interview only one person, nor is it an exclusive interview with a person, so everyone is just interviewed for a few routine sentences, and when someone else comes out, they will naturally find another one.
But the person who came out this time was actually Tang Youxin, who had made an appointment with Xia Xu to come out early. After coming out, she was walking towards Xia Xu. After seeing the reporters and the huge crowd around her, she was a little stage frightened and ran to Xia Xu's side and hid behind him.
"Don't be nervous, little classmate. We are reporters from a TV station and we just want to interview you."
The female reporter who had just interviewed Xia Xu was very good at responding to situations. When she saw Tang Youxin's expression, she immediately said, "Don't be afraid. This classmate should be your friend, right? We have already interviewed him just now."
"Oh, okay."
The female reporter's words were obviously very effective. Little White Flower glanced at Xia Xu and nodded.
"Student, did you also hand in your paper early?"
Still the same problem as before.
"Well, yes."
Tang Youxin nodded her head.
The female reporter continued to ask: "Then why did you hand in the paper early?"
“Because it’s already done.”
Tang Youxin was a little confused.
The female reporter asked: "Don't you check it more? How many points do you expect to get?"
