Chapter 751 It's not easy to be the first to stand out
The entrance to the museum.
Su Mingzhe and Lan Yingying were like two human-shaped statues, standing still for a long time.
Lan Yingying looked around out of boredom and found that there were indeed quite a few tourists.
However, most of these tourists are residents of the city and do not need commentators or tour guides.
Occasionally, a few foreign guests would appear, and there would be professional tour guides from the museum to give explanations, so there was no need for volunteers to receive them.
This not only made Lan Yingying very disappointed.
She was also thinking about how she would be able to eloquently and endlessly introduce to foreign guests the origins of the cultural relics in the museum when they came to ask her questions.
As a result, this is it?
I stood there from around seven in the morning until around nine.
Lan Yingying's legs began to stiffen. She looked at Su Mingzhe, who was standing beside her, motionless and steady as a rock. She was filled with admiration.
She used to boast about her great endurance and strong willpower, but when compared with Su Mingzhe, the difference was like heaven and earth.
"Ayong, what would you like to drink? I'll go get some water."
"Just mineral water."
Su Mingzhe had long noticed that Lan Yingying was getting restless, and when he saw that she wanted to move around, he didn't bother to be polite with her.
I came here as a volunteer today to give her face, so there's nothing wrong with drinking her bottle of water.
"Then I'll go buy it."
Lan Yingying didn't expect the man to be polite to her. After getting the man's answer, she took long steps and walked towards the shop on the west side of the museum square.
It took Lan Yingying five minutes to walk back and forth across the road, which was more than a hundred meters.
When she came back, she saw Su Mingzhe still standing there, no different from when she left. Lan Yingying no longer had any thoughts of comparison.
"Ayong, drink some water."
Lan Yingying said this as she helped to unscrew the bottle cap before handing it to the man with a sweet smile.
"Thank you."
Su Mingzhe didn't expect that Lan Yingying was so considerate.
The two drank water, and seeing that the square was getting hotter and hotter, Lan Yingying couldn't help but speak again:
"Ayong, why don't we go to the shade nearby and take a rest."
The temperature in Jinling was still very high, and the two volunteers were wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants. Their skin felt a little hot under the sun.
"Okay."
Su Mingzhe and Lan Yingying walked towards the woods to the north.
There were originally six volunteers nearby. At this time, seeing some of them went to the shade to rest, the others followed to escape the heat.
The six volunteers gathered together and exchanged greetings with each other.
The tallest boy is called Shi Jin, the same name as "Jiu Wenlong" in "Water Margin". He is a senior, over 1.9 meters tall, and a student of a nearby sports college.
A dark and strong boy named Zhu Guoping, with a short flat haircut, about 1.7 meters tall, with sharp eyes. He is also a senior and a student at a nearby medical school.
The only man wearing glasses among the six was called Li Minghui. He was about 1.7 meters tall, well-mannered, and always smiled subtly before speaking. He was a junior student at a nearby polytechnic college.
There is also a tall and thin girl with a ponytail, her name is Tong Xiaojie, she is a student at the Academy of Fine Arts, and also the vice president of the Student Union, a junior.
Since they are all students, they have a lot of common topics.
Shi Jin had a lot to say, and was the first to complain:
"There are too few foreign tourists at the museum. Not many come here every day. At this time, the Confucius Temple area must be crowded with people."
The dark and strong boy Zhu Guoping laughed and said:
"There are so many people and so many things to do, so they definitely don't have as much free time as we do."
Li Minghui listened, laughed at first, and then echoed:
"It's so hot, it's better to have less things to do."
The high temperature in Jinling is really enough to kill people.
Su Mingzhe didn't care, but beads of sweat kept coming out of Lan Yingying's forehead.
At this moment, after listening to the conversation between several people, Lan Yingying began to regret a little, feeling that she had not applied enough sunscreen when she went out in the morning.
Several people chatted about one thing or another.
The morning finally passed, and the van that brought a few people here in the morning drove over.
"Are you here to deliver food?"
Tong Xiaojie stood up first. She was a girl and in order to maintain her figure, she only ate a little in the morning.
It has been five or six hours since breakfast, so I am naturally hungry.
It wasn't just Tong Xiaojie. The others had been standing for the whole morning and were also starving.
At this time, everyone saw a man wearing a red vest walking out of the car. He did not have a lunch box in his hand, but a stack of red volunteer hats.
The man in the red vest waved at them:
"Everyone gets a vest and a hat! The leaders know how hard everyone works. You can take off your long sleeves and long pants, but you must wear your vests and hats!"
The man distributed the gifts to everyone and was about to take the bus to the next volunteer point. Li Minghui quickly stopped him and asked with a smile:
"Teacher, how do we arrange our rest at noon?"
"We have a break from 12 to 3 pm. It will be soon. A lunch truck will be coming. After lunch, you can take turns to rest."
The man also knew that the volunteers were having a hard time, so he said a few words of encouragement before leaving.
Watching the van go away, several volunteers were a little dumbfounded:
"Take turns to rest? How do we do it?"
"We should leave two people on duty while the others rest."
Lan Yingying had been a volunteer for several times and had a relatively good understanding of them. Lan Yingying had become familiar with several other volunteers and suddenly noticed that Su Mingzhe did not participate in the conversation much, and his face was always calm and indifferent, as if he was not anxious or irritable at all.
Just then, another van drove over.
A man jumped down from the passenger seat, counted the number of volunteers, said hello, and asked everyone to come and get their lunch boxes.
"Since there are four boys, I'll give you two more."
The people on the bus spoke politely. After distributing lunch boxes and mineral water to everyone, they greeted:
"The leader said that the lunch break is three hours, and everyone should take turns to rest, and it will be fine as long as there are two people on duty."
Although the few of them had anticipated this kind of rest plan after being reminded by Lan Yingying, they still looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard this allocation.
There are a total of six volunteers here, resting in groups of two, for a total of three hours of lunch break.
According to the apparent algorithm, two people will be on duty from 12 o'clock to 1 o'clock, two people will be on duty from 1 o'clock to 2 o'clock, and two people will be on duty from 2 o'clock to 3 o'clock.
Obviously, the two people on duty from one to two o'clock were the most unlucky.
This is what the military often says, 'Don't stand guard in the second shift!'
I haven’t had enough rest in the previous hour, but I have to go on duty. When the shift is over, I can’t have a good rest in the next hour.
At this time, Shi Jin suddenly stood up and said with a smile:
"Everyone, this volunteer activity lasts for two days. There are six of us, including two beauties. I think it would be better if the four boys each take on a 'second shift break' so that the two beauties can have enough rest time. What do you think?"
"..."
Lan Yingying didn't expect that a volunteer would stand up and take the spotlight, and she couldn't help but look at Shi Jin a little more.
However, Shi Jin had a gentle look in his eyes and was looking at a few people silently, as if he wanted everyone to support his plan.
Su Mingzhe also glanced at Shi Jin. He and Lan Yingying made the same choice and remained silent.
If the other three agree, the two will not object.
After all, since we are here as volunteers, it’s no big deal if we suffer a little more.
However, if anyone of the other three objected, Su Mingzhe and Lan Yingying would not want to be on duty separately.
All in all, Su Mingzhe and Lan Yingying both "don't want to go against public opinion" and "don't want to be in the spotlight."
I don’t know if other people have the same idea.
Everyone was silent for a while, no one agreed or objected.
For a moment, Shi Jin felt that he was in a dilemma. He quickly smiled and continued with what he had just said, "Since everyone has no objection, I will distribute it..."
Seeing this guy's true intentions revealed, another girl, Tong Xiaojie, couldn't help but speak up:
"Distribution? Isn't drawing lots the fairest way to do this?"
When Shi Jin was confronted, his face froze.
He knew that if he took the lead, others would object.
But he didn't expect that it would be a girl who said this, which made him feel a little angry.
"I'm here to speak up for you girls, and you, an ugly woman, dare to ruin my show. If we really want to draw lots, be careful or I'll kill you in the future."
Although he was furious, Shi Jin smiled and said:
"Drawing lots is of course the fairest, but we have four boys who are going to take the middle shift, so it's more convenient to use the allocation method."
"Thank you for your kindness, senior. Since we are here to be volunteers, we must not be afraid of hard work. Let's draw lots to allocate the positions."
Tong Xiaojie said this and looked at another girl in the team, Lan Yingying.
Shi Jin was able to use the interests of the four boys to demonstrate his "gentlemanly manners" and ability to "control the situation."
Tong Xiaojie also wants to show her elegance as a woman who is as good as men by drawing lots.
These student union members who are able to come and volunteer are all very smart people.
How could he be willing to be controlled by Shi Jin?
"Then let's draw lots to distribute it."
Lan Yingying responded with a smile, but a hint of shame and anger flashed in her eyes.
She and Su Mingzhe are the only pair among the six who are from the same school and class.
Logically speaking, she and Su Mingzhe should be on the same shift.
However, after Shi Jin and Tong Xiaojie had talked to each other for a few words, she was too embarrassed to speak up when they needed to draw lots to allocate the tasks, and insisted on standing on the same shift with Su Mingzhe.
"Well, let's draw lots!"
Seeing his plan ruined, Shi Jin took a deep breath, concealed his inner frustration, and smiled. He took out a pen and paper from his pocket and asked:
"So are we going to catch him twice, or just once?"
"Of course I caught him twice!"
Tong Xiaojie said with a smile: "Catching them twice will show fairness!"
"Well, then catch me twice!"
As Shi Jin spoke, he quickly wrote down six notes with the words "one, two, three, four, five, six", shuffled them, and stacked them together. Then he smiled and said:
"To show fairness, the five of you can draw the notes I wrote first. The last one is mine! Pretty girls first, two junior girls, you can draw first."
Shi Jin said, and handed the note to Lan Yingying and Tong Xiaojie.
At this point, the others couldn't say anything more.
The two beauties, Lan Yingying and Tong Xiaojie, looked at each other and were about to reach out to take it, but they heard Su Mingzhe speak first:
"Lan Yingying and I want the first and sixth ones!"
Everyone saw that Su Mingzhe's voice was so firm.
Then, several people became interested and looked at Shi Jin who had a shocked expression on his face!
Hey!
This grandson actually cheated!
