Genius Girlfriend

Chapter 61: North American matches live

Lin Zhixia immediately retorted: "Academic performance is only one aspect. Everyone has their own characteristics. Jiang Yubai is very unique and deserves my attention."

Lin Zhixia was defending Jiang Yubai both inside and outside.

She knew that her brother must be upset.

Lin Zeqiu sternly sat on the chair with a blank face.

Before Jiang Yubai appeared on the stage, Lin Zeqiu went to the kitchen and brought a plate of egg rolls just out of the pan. He was holding a plate in his left hand and chopsticks in his right hand, slowly picking up a burrito, a light fragrance drifting in the bedroom.

Lin Zhixia turned her face and stared at him intently.

He thought to himself: My sister is a glutton, but on the surface she said softly: "Bring your bowl here."

Lin Zhixia obediently handed her rice bowl to his eyes. He picked a burrito that was golden on both sides and best fried, and put the burrito in Lin Zhixia's bowl by himself. He whispered: "Well, let's eat."

"Thank you, brother." Lin Zhixia responded happily.

The siblings were eating breakfast while staring at the computer screen.

Lin Zeqiu didn't want to watch the game at all. However, he could not let his sister face Jiang Yubai alone. He just heard that Lin Zhixia praised Jiang Yubai for "it looks good in a suit", and was even more worried that Lin Zhixia would be deeply impressed by Jiang Yubai's demeanor during the next game.

In January this year, a girl in Lin Zeqiu's class confessed to him. The girl said that she was fascinated by Lin Zeqiu's talent.

Lin Zeqiu did not believe this argument. Lin Zeqiu believes that his appearance is far more attractive than his connotation.

Jiang Yubai's appearance is extremely handsome, and he is lethal to girls. If Lin Zeqiu left his sister alone, he could almost foresee what would happen in the future-he would never allow Lin Zhixia to get closer to a boy.

Lin Zhixia is going to Beijing to attend university in September this year, and Jiang Yubai also happens to be attending high school in Beijing. They are only fourteen years old, so young, and just entering puberty, it is a critical period when parents must guard against them.

After careful consideration, Lin Zeqiu quickly formulated a response policy-he decided to try his best to find out Jiang Yubai's mistakes and obliterate Lin Zhixia's favor with Jiang Yubai.

He stretched his legs and asked casually: "Is this the final? Why are there six teams?"

Lin Zhixia told him that there were six teams in the finals, and every two teams had to compete once. The winner gets one point and the loser gets one point. The judges will determine the final ranking of this year's competition based on the total score of each team.

After Lin Zhixia introduced the rules of the game in detail, she finally waited for Jiang Yubai to play.

Jiang Yubai wore a black suit and a diagonal tie. He was obviously a handsome boy. There were four people in their team, and Jiang Yubai stood closest to the microphone.

Lin Zhixia saw the clues and was pleasantly surprised: "Jiang Yubai is a Spokesperson in their group."

Lin Zeqiu subconsciously repeated: "Spokesperson?"

Lin Zhixia translated for him: "Spokesperson means spokesperson in Chinese. According to the regulations of the North American Economics Competition, there will be a spokesperson in each team. He will summarize the ideas of the entire team and answer questions on behalf of his teammates."

At this time, the host uttered the words clearly and read the title in English.

Lin Zeqiu only understood the word "wofoneprice". English listening is not his strong point, and he has no idea what the host is saying.

He took a breath, his back stiffened.

For Lin Zeqiu, this live game is like a difficult English test.

Under Lin Zeqiu's gaze, Jiang Yubai rushed to answer the question.

Jiang Yubai finished the answer quickly, and Lin Zhixia immediately commented: "Yes, this question appears to be Lawofoneprice on the surface, but in fact it has to take into account Purchasingpowerparity."

Lin Zeqiu frowned and looked at Lin Zhixia.

Lin Zhixia explained again: "Lawofoneprice refers to the'law of one price'. According to the'law of one price', the actual value of a single homogeneous commodity is the same. The'law of one price' ignores the country of production and transaction costs. Purchasingpowerparity can directly Translated into'purchasing power parity', it actually represents the equivalence coefficient between currencies. It takes into account the different price levels of commodities in various countries, and can be used to compare the GDP of various countries...Purchasingpowerparity collects many kinds of commodities Market price. Yes, Jiang Yubai talked to me about Purchasing power parity theory before. The popular explanation of this theory is that the exchange rate is equal to or depends on the domestic price level relative to the foreign price level."

Do Jiang Yubai and Lin Zhixia often discuss these things in private?

Even if Lin Zhixia kindly translated and gave a detailed explanation, Lin Zeqiu did not understand.

Lin Zeqiu's right eyelid began to beat. He remembers the old saying "Left eye jumps for wealth, right eye jumps for disaster". He stood up slowly, stepped back slowly, and turned to the bedroom door.

"Brother, don't you watch it?" Lin Zhixia asked him.

Lin Zeqiu didn't want to stay in this room for another second. He has doubts about his English ability.

Lin Zeqiu's heart retreated. He has never been exposed to economics, and his English level does not allow him to watch a North American game without subtitles. He was about to lie that he had something to do, so he heard Lin Zhixia say: "Jiang Yubai is amazing, Jiang Yubai is the best!"

Lin Zhixia put down her job and applauded with both hands.

The brother suddenly sat back next to her.

She asked: "Brother, why are you back again?"

My brother even said: "I want to see Jiang Yubai."

Lin Zhixia's tone was surprised: "Have you discovered his strengths?"

The brother was expressionless: "He lost."

In the finals where every second counts, Jiang Yubai made two mistakes in a row. After discussion, the judges unanimously gave a verdict of "incorrect", which means "error". Jiang Yubai lost his far lead, and his total score was only slightly higher than his competitors.

Lin Zhixia nervously approached the computer.

The elder brother "haha" sneered and said: "Jiang Yubai rushed to answer so fast, I thought he was sure about it... as the saying goes, there will be a raging soldier, and a raging nest."

"No," said Lin Zhixia, "the competition is difficult. No one can guarantee 100% accuracy."

The elder brother lifted his chin slightly: "That kid must be anxious to death now."

Lin Zhixia is not sure.

She could not read Jiang Yubai's psychological activity from his face. Because his face and expression are very calm and calm.

In fact, Jiang Yubai did feel a bit of pressure. He and his three teammates thought the last topic was too complicated, so that they made a simple mistake, which can be called "careless Jingzhou."

He acted calmly and continued to answer without hurried. The teammates are just like him, standing straight, watching the host who is in charge of reading the questions.

As the schedule progressed, the difficulty of the problem became higher and higher, and competitors began to make mistakes. The total score of Jiang Yubai's team gradually picked up.

Jiang Yubai found the opportunity and grabbed four questions in a row with extreme speed. After a brief communication with his teammates, he provided the correct answer to each question. Lin Zeqiu's fluent spoken English also impressed Lin Zeqiu.

"How does he usually learn English?" Lin Zeqiu asked.

Lin Zhixia told the truth: "Jiang Yubai has always had a lot of tutors...not a tutor, but a teaching team. He also has a team in Beijing. His team of English teachers includes three Americans and one Englishman."

This is the way of education for the rich.

Lin Zhixia's description is far beyond Lin Zeqiu's imagination. He unconsciously shook his hand into a fist, not letting go for a long time. Before that, he always picky about Jiang Yubai's shortcomings, but now, when he calms down suddenly, Lin Zhixia is a little uncomfortable.

What's wrong with brother?

Lin Zhixia guessed that the class gap between the common people and the rich might make her brother feel uncomfortable.

She never expected that her elder brother actually said: "That's how it is. This kid can mix up like this, thanks to his parents and a group of teachers. You listen to me, he is nothing, don't look up to him."

Lin Zhixia ignored her brother.

She devoted all her attention to the game.

After a series of hard rounds, Jiang Yubai's team won the runner-up. The champion is a super team from a well-known high school in the United States-this team is also made up of Asian students. According to them, they have been studying economics for many years, and their biggest hobby in life is to discuss economics with their teammates. Study related issues.

In contrast, Jiang Yubai's teammates appear to be quite low-key.

The teammates smiled shyly and stood behind Jiang Yubai. Jiang Yubai picked up the microphone and delivered his acceptance speech.

On the podium with the lights focused, flowers and applause were overwhelming. Jiang Yubai briefly thanked his parents, teachers, and the organizer of the event... Finally, he emphasized that he has a best friend. He said to this "best friend": "Thankyouforalwaysencingme."

The meaning of this sentence is, thank you for always encouraging me.

Lin Zhixia faced the computer screen, and Jiang Yubai happened to look at the camera.

For a moment, Lin Zhixia suddenly felt that Jiang Yubai was looking at her. The palms of her hands were pressed together, and there was no sound. His head was full of words: Thank you for always encouraging me.

Lin Zhixia muttered to herself: "This should be what I said to him."
