Subversion of Rebirth

Mother Lin once said to Lin Xiao: "There is nothing wrong with you, the child, but you are too stubborn. Once you accept the reason, you will not change it. In today's society, being too stubborn is not a good thing. The reason People are dead, but people are alive, you have to learn how to adapt."

When Lin Xiao heard this at first, he didn't take it seriously, but after coming abroad, he found that he was in a passive position because of his restrained and quiet personality.

After Christmas, Lin Xiao and the others returned from Toronto to continue their normal life of attending classes and working part-time.

Professor Johnston is a professor famous for his stubbornness in his major. His class location and class time are almost fixed every semester, and he talks about the key points at the beginning of each class, no matter whether you have attended the class or not. state.If any seniors see you rushing towards that dilapidated small teaching building, they will usually smile kindly: "Say hello to Professor Joston for me."

One day, classmate Bailey told Lin Xiao: "Lin, let me tell you a joke. This week, Professor Joston's classes will be changed to the Angel teaching building on the north side of the campus, and the time will not change."

Lin Xiao smiled: "Don't be kidding, the Angel Teaching Building is one south and the other old small building is north, and even if the end of the world comes, Professor Joston will not move."

Bailey shrugged, pretending to be mysterious and grimacing back: "Do you believe it or not."

As a result, when Lin Xiao went to Professor Joston's class that day, she was surprised to find that the door of the classroom that was supposed to be full was closed. Later, she called her classmates and found out that the original class location had really changed.

Lin Xiao hurriedly rushed to the teaching building several kilometers away. When he arrived, Professor Joston's class was half over.

Lin Xiao asked other students, it turned out that the old small building was too dilapidated and would be demolished and rebuilt in the near future.There is no way to be stubborn about Professor Joston, you can't take the students to class in the open air, right?So I had to change the location of the class.

Lin Xiao was also very helpless, so she could only use the notes of her classmates to spend more time after class to make up for the missing content.

After Liang Shu knew about this, he couldn't help but knocked him on the head: "Little idiot, won't you confirm it to the professor or other students?"

Lin Xiao touched the place where she was knocked, and said, "I thought Bailey was just joking with me... Who would have thought that the professor would move the class before the end of the world."

"You, you really need to learn to be more flexible. Professor Joston has already given in and moved. You should also learn to be more flexible." Liang Shu said angrily.

Lin Xiao shrugged, but still didn't take Liang Shu's words to heart.

Lin Xiao's most recent part-time job was as a waiter in a Spanish restaurant.

Because the restaurant was divided into several dining areas, Lin Xiao was in charge of all the ordering and serving services in the corner area.

The owner of the restaurant, Siri, is a fat-headed Spaniard. He is very picky about the demands of Lin Xiao and the rest of the migrant workers, and deducts their tips from time to time.

It was the weekend, and the restaurant was very busy, and families who had finished shopping suddenly poured in to eat.Lin Xiaoguang was busy ordering food for the new guests, and finally freed himself from the various demands of the guests.

While waiting, the impatient customers complained to the boss Xili, asking why their dishes haven't been served for so long?

Then Xili scolded Lin Xiao: "Why didn't you serve the guests in time? The dishes were piled up there."

Lin Xiao is innocent: "Usually the chefs will ring the small bell when they are ready to serve the dishes. I didn't hear their small bell ringing today..."

"Are you a fool? The chef is too busy to ring the small bell, so you won't take the initiative to go over to see if the dishes in your area are ready?" The boss Xili stared at him with small eyes, "Because of the customer's complaint, today your tip It's all gone!"

Back at White's house, Lin Xiao told Liang Shu about this in frustration, and got another brain knock.

"I've told you a long time ago that you have to learn to be flexible, and now you're at a disadvantage again? Don't you realize that it's abnormal to not notify you to serve food for so long?"

"...Yes, but because there was a new customer ordering at that time, I put that aside, and then I forgot about it when I was busy ordering." Lin Xiao continued to scratch his head in distress.

"That's why I said, when everything is wrong, use your brain to think about why, and then take the initiative to check the cause of the problem. Don't foolishly think that people will notify you to serve the dishes, but take the initiative to ask the kitchen what's wrong. It’s a matter. The system is dead, but people are alive. It’s good to be scolded, so that your memory will be long, and you really have to learn to be more flexible in the future.” Liang Shu sighed, grabbing Lin Xiao to abuse his head hands, and said earnestly.

Lin Xiao thought about it, and felt that she really should learn to be more flexible, otherwise she would suffer even bigger losses in the future.

In the future, he will take the initiative to ask the professor for confirmation of the news of course changes, and then tell other students who don't know the news.When working part-time, he will also take the initiative to communicate with the kitchen and other areas, asking if any dishes in his area have been prepared, and he has not had time to notify himself to serve the dishes.Occasionally, he would take the initiative to go to the kitchen to have a look when he was free. If he saw dishes in other areas that hadn’t arrived yet, he would also take the initiative to serve them to other migrant workers. With Lin Xiao’s help, other colleagues also I am happy to help Lin Xiao serve food occasionally when I have time.Siri, the owner, can't find an excuse to skimp on their tips.

When Lin Xiao finally made progress and improved, Liang Shu encountered setbacks again.

The civil engineering major requires students to actively participate in construction projects, no matter how big or small, they first learn to design, and then they have to learn step by step from the procurement of engineering materials to the calculation of engineering budgets.

Liang Shu was very active in participating in the practice. For example, if a family in the community where the White family lived wanted to build a house, he would take the initiative to run over to help and see how the house was designed and built step by step.

The polite neighbors know that Liang Shu studied civil engineering, and they will also invite Liang Shu to give their opinions on the design of their furniture.

At this time, the differences in thinking between China and the West were revealed. The neighbors did not particularly like the opinions Liang Shu gave them.Liang Shu added some beautiful elements to them according to some domestic design ideas, such as bonsai placed in the corner.But the neighbors pay more attention to the simple and free and romantic style, and Liang Shu's proposal is rarely accepted by them.

Liang Shu was not discouraged either. He began to look for various styles of local home design in the library, and then recommended those design highlights to his neighbors.This time, the neighbors liked his proposal.

However, when Liang Shu enthusiastically handed over his design to the professor, he was criticized by the professor: "The style of the overall design does not match the design of some parts, and lacks overall coordination. In addition, as a student of civil engineering, The focus should be on public works internships, not home design.”

Liang Shu obediently accepted the previous criticism.But the latter suggestion made him feel awkward.

Generally, foreign public projects, such as bridges and reservoirs, are constructed by large construction companies through bidding.Based on Liang Shu's thinking, it is really difficult to enter these large construction companies for internship observation.A student who has not yet graduated came to the door in a daze, asking to go to the construction site for an internship and observation. The possibility of people agreeing is very small, unless someone from a large company recommends it.

After hearing Liang Shu's words, the professor just smiled humorously: "Young people should be brave enough to try. Children, nothing is impossible."

Liang Shu thought about it, so he made a simple and clear resume for himself, and began to ask company by company if he could go to the construction site to learn and observe.Many companies just gave Liang Shu a cup of coffee, and then let him leave after accepting his resume. Sometimes even a small supervisor didn't see it.

Liang Shu was a little discouraged because of this, Lin Xiao patted Liang Shu on the head, and said, "Maybe you can be flexible and change direction, instead of going to the company to ask, and go directly to the construction site to ask if they want temporary workers. Anyway, you are still young and have plenty of strength, first go to the construction site to be a porter, and then establish a good relationship with the supervisor on the construction site, and ask them about various engineering issues when you have time."

Liang Shu thought about it and felt that this method should be feasible, so he revised his resume and went from construction site to construction site to find temporary workers.

In the end, a construction site that was building a bridge agreed to hire him as a temporary worker.

When Liang Shu entered, he told the junior supervisor that he was studying while working part-time.The junior supervisor appreciated that he could take a break and start with the hardest porter, and agreed to ask Liang Shu to ask him about the details of the part of the project he was in charge of when he was free.

Liang Shu is young and strong, and he is the most diligent and willing to work on the construction site. After finishing his own work, he will take the initiative to help others carry things.The manager who recruited him liked Liang Shu's honest and hard-working character very much, so when Liang Shu asked questions, he would try to answer them in detail, and sometimes he would help to ask questions that were beyond his engineering part. Ask other executives and designers.

As a result, after Liang Shu finished his temporary work, he was tanned, but his muscles were much stronger. More importantly, the thesis and design he submitted satisfied the professor.And the little supervisor also agreed, next time Liang Shu can go to their side to work as a temporary worker, and he can introduce him to other parts of the project so that he can go to work and study by the way.

Only then did Liang Shu understand that many things are difficult before doing them, and there may be setbacks and difficulties in the process, but sometimes he can still achieve his goals if he calms down, thinks from a different angle, and puts in the effort.In foreign countries, as long as you are willing to work hard, there will always be people who appreciate it.

The atmosphere in foreign countries is much more liberal than the human society in China. At least the common people have more opportunities to make progress and work hard, and they will not be sentenced to death by the so-called internal selection and recommendation from the very beginning.Foreigners are happy to give opportunities and recommendations to those who are capable.
