Can not doing what one wants be called rebirth?

Chapter 216 214. Sister Jie
I want to eat shit.

It is obviously impossible to pass the customs with guaranteed admission.

Guo Minjie looked at Liu Yisheng meaningfully and quickly added a few words.

"The three-school White Horse Cup debate competition is quite old. Under the watchful eyes of the public, we must ensure fairness. How can we guarantee that only one team will pass?"

"Whether we can win the game or not ultimately depends on everyone's hard work and training. We must rely on our strength. Backdoors are not an option."

Being a teacher is not easy. Not only do you have to boost morale when people are down, but you also have to win people back when they are feeling complacent.

It is not a good mentality to not work hard and just want to win easily.

"Okay, that's all I have to say today. You can train freely in the remaining time."

Guo Minjie took out a stack of information from her bag and distributed it to the team members.

Standing on the shoulders of giants, new debaters are making rapid progress.

Under the guidance of high-level instructors, everyone began to train each other in groups, digesting a large amount of debate-related knowledge piecemeal.

You will be criticized and pointed out for your shortcomings, you will stumble and fall, and you will accidentally remember some jokes and tricks that you suddenly thought of.

In fact, debate training itself may not be that "systematic".

It is different from mathematics. You can't just take a book or an exercise book and study it on your own and keep improving.

Because mathematics is a highly abstract and logical thing.

As some people in the philosophy of science have always said in the past, mathematics is not an empirical science and can be roughly understood as a deductive discipline.

But debate is different. Its audience is the judges and the audience, and it uses language and rhetoric.

Perhaps the criticism of poetry by some ancient Greek philosophers is that poetry "uses rhetoric to confuse and deceive the public."

Newton also said at the beginning of his book that this book tries not to use rhetoric such as analogies.

But the charm of debate lies in language.

Maybe it’s because the judges and the audience are human beings, emotional people.

"My overall feeling is that there is still a lack of tacit understanding between you at this stage."

Guo Minjie accompanied the whole process from four o'clock to six o'clock and gave a very pertinent evaluation.

A makeshift team is just a makeshift team. Although they seem to be capable debaters, they are still unable to get rid of the posture of fighting on their own.

Not very familiar.

Although Mr. Lu's relationship with Zhong Ruixi and his roommates is closer than that with his teammates, and Liu Yisheng and Ni Jiayun also have a little spark, they are not too familiar with each other.

There's no feeling of being a team.

"During the official competition, especially the free debate session, this part will take a long time and account for a very heavy score."

The instructor tapped the whiteboard with a marker to call everyone's attention.

"At this time, the tacit understanding between the team members is particularly important. For example, everyone should understand each other's style, pay attention to the micro-expressions of teammates, do not rush to answer, do not fall into silence, and supplement the views of the previous team members in a timely manner..."

But how do we cultivate tacit understanding?
Having said that, Guo Minjie raised her wrist, tucked the loose hair on her temples behind her ears, faced everyone's eager eyes, and opened her cherry lips.

"Let's stop here for today."

She checked the time and looked out the window.

The winter sun does not linger in the sky, and around six o'clock it is already late on earth.

"How about we have a meal together and build some tacit understanding?"

The instructor suggested with a smile.

This was the first time that the three team members, except Lu Jincheng, had dinner with the counselor.

In a Chinese restaurant opposite the school, five people sat around a round table.

A few home-cooked dishes, a pot of hot tea, and chat while eating.

"As for me, I have always been particularly envious of Xiao Zhong."

Identities seem to be clearly defined only in school.

As soon as they left the school gate and arrived at a street-side restaurant that everyone was familiar with, Guo Minjie quickly became friends with the students, and the distance between teachers and students became closer and closer.

"Ah? What does Mr. Guo envy me for?"

Zhong Ruixi blinked, and there was a hint of curiosity in her clear eyes.

"When I was in school, the most popular girl in the school was almost like you. She was very pretty, tall, with a ponytail and big eyes, and a face like first love."

Guo Minjie smiled with her lips pursed, her eyelashes flickering under her glasses, as if hiding memories.

"She lived in the same dormitory with me at that time. Our ratio of students in a normal university was not balanced, and there were basically no boys around. But it was different downstairs. People lined up to give her things." "Every time I see you and Lu Jincheng, I think of the way the sisters in the dormitory watched her dating upstairs, and it seems like I have returned to my college days."

Zhong Ruixi's pretty face turned red and she turned her head to glance at Lu Jincheng.

She didn't like beating around the bush and couldn't help but ask directly.

"Teacher Guo, you just look at it. Didn't you have a romantic relationship in college?"

"Pfft~"

Ni Jiayun, who was quietly eating melon, laughed out loud.

Apart from Zhong Ruixi, I'm afraid no one would directly ask the teacher such a question.

"No, so you see, after working, I realized that I had no experience in love and didn't understand men, so I regretted it now!"

When asked about privacy issues by students, Guo Minjie did not look unhappy at all, and still had a gentle look with a smile on her face.

"It's not easy for a campus romance to come to fruition. The most important thing about youth is experience. Now is the best age in your life. It's good to talk about it properly."

"bless all of you."

The counselor raised the teacup towards the two of them and took a sip, his gesture elegant and generous.

"Thank you, Mr. Guo!"

Before Lu Jincheng could say anything, Zhong Ruixi immediately responded with a smile.

As a teacher, she was happy and even flattered to be able to express her blessings at a private dinner.

"Actually, I'm not much older than you. If you want, you can just call me sister in private from now on."

Guo Minjie pushed the frameless glasses on her nose and said to everyone with a smile.

"Okay, Sister Min~"

"Sister Min, I won't be polite to you!"

Seeing that the counselor was really humble, Zhong Ruixi and Ni Jiayun burst into laughter.

"Hey, are you two idiots?"

They were clearly a team, but the other two remained silent.

Zhong Ruixi couldn't help but turn his head and glare at Lu Jincheng, then he followed the direction and kicked lightly.

Yell!

Girls understand girls.

How come these two people have no emotional intelligence at all!

Can't you see that Teacher Guo likes to be called like that, because it makes her look very young and everyone seems very close?

"Then I will call you Sister Min from now on."

Hearing the obvious hint, Liu Yisheng immediately changed his flag.

No, buddy, you called me now?
Lu Jincheng lowered his head and pretended to be a little shy, but he was very resistant in his heart.

The cunning Guo Minjie was definitely deliberately tricking him in front of everyone!

She was just taking the opportunity to take revenge for what she had just done in bed.

It is hard to describe in words.

Even clay figures have some temper.

What's more, the names she was forced to call out would not pass review even if she wrote them down.

Sure enough, he raised his head inadvertently, and his peripheral vision immediately met Guo Minjie's smiling gaze.

It is easy to avoid obvious flirting, but hard to guard against hidden meanness.

Everyone calls me sister, we are all in the same team. Do you want to fit in? Should we call me sister or not?

"Sister Xiaojie."

It's rude to remain silent for too long.

Forget it, confrontation with women is an art of struggle and compromise!
So, Lu Jincheng said in a low voice.

"Hey, why are you pretending to be from Tianjin?"

Zhong Ruixi patted him on the back and chuckled, her bell-like laughter echoing in the room.

"Sister Jie is really distracting!"
