Joke of the day 2
It's just a follow-up of my previous post. She finally came back from her holiday. And we (my project group) also had our holiday while she was away haha....
Ok, here is the story!
Yesterday was the presentation for my group project in that class where she is in my project group. Despite our presentation, she went for holiday in xxx for a week and told us she wouldn't be presenting cos of her late night flight. So everything went well in our preparation and analysis of the case. Then, we went to school early before the presentation and got ready in class before Prof came. He came to us and talked about our case as well as her. When we told him that we were also having holidays cos someone was away, Prof reminded us not to be obvious. Then we started our presentation and everything went well until the end of my turn when I saw her coming into the room. Actually I didn't prepare a script for my presentation (usually I don't, but I have in my mind what I wanna say and what words I wanna use for my speech) and just talked out of my tongue. So, I took some time to think what I wanted to say (rather the word usage) for the following line during the presentation and when I saw her I forgot what I wanted to say and paused for a while looking at her. Then it was the prof who broke the ice by laughing super obviously (though he reminded us not to), followed by the whole class, looking at me and her. They thought I was so stressed to see her coming in. In fact, I just didn't prepare and forgot my part haha... Anyway, that's not the main story yet though Prof laughed until his face even turned red. We, then, carried on our presentation and finished it without her interrupting or answering the questions from the floor. It's in fact our group's main concern that she'll fart during Q&A. Thanks, God! She's busy with her own stuffs. Prof announced the 15 min break. Then came the main story.
She shorted out Prof's name and got the whole class attention by requesting her to give 3 minutes. So the whole class was excitedly waiting what she'd say. She first gave a wine for the Prof as a souvenir. Then she took one big box saying she brought souvenirs for us. So, we thought it's for the whole class cos she took Prof's airtime in class and made the whole class listen her. But, we were shocked when she said it's for her groupmates (only us) cos we didn't give her troubles with this presentation during her trip. (In fact, none of us were bothered to update her, lest she'd give us another long and irrelevant report with her favorite credentials of herself or at least the company we are analyzing.) You know what she bought for us? Vinegar!!! WT*. The whole group was asking each other what we are supposed to do with this Vinegar. Drink it by itself? or Cook? Anyway, we thought the story ended there until she took out one envelope and said,"Actually, Prof, I have this envelope!" (we think it's something related to our case study or some gifts from her trip), she continued, "You know this is a contract of job offer from ***G company (1 of the most famous 4 companies in the world in that industry). Later I'm going to sign this contract cos today is the last day. So, Prof, may I request you to let me go to the company and sign this contract?" The whole class was stunned with our mouths open and my mind full of one word "WT*!" "***G! So what?" While the whole class was laughing again, some even gossiping with their neighbors about her, her face was shining and her mouth was open so wide smiling as if her mouth was the Guinness World Record of biggest mouth on earth. Some thought she was endorsing Colgate cos her satisfaction of self-publicizing gave her the best smile in the world which even toothpaste endorsers cannot make a smile as big as she did until we saw all her 32 teeth sparkling behind her smile(perhaps due to the Vinegar). Then the prof, thinking "Oh, come on! Not again!", said "Ok, you can go." So we thought she would leave the class, but not only didn't she leave to sign the contract, but she even screwed herself up with the chair until (or even after) end of the class, except for few times she went outside and came into the class again and again with so many stuffs in her hands during Prof's lecture. Even after the class, she didn't leave but asked questions to Prof.
So, we left the class quickly without her. We were thinking why she was staying in class though she declared the class that she got job offer from ***G and needed to sign the contract during the class time. Some said if it's not urgent, then why she asked the Prof's permission in front of whole class. But, why did she in the first place told the whole class that she got job offer in that company? Can't she just talk to Prof in private or say she has an urgent matter to attend to.
But, she actually made my day cos I was thinking about the incident and laughed and laughed and laughed haha... Quite entertaining. So I was quite amused yesterday until my friend told me there was something wrong with her cos she gave us Vinegar. In Chinese, Eat (Drink) Vinegar (Chi Chu) has same pronunciation of the word "being jealous". So, by using Vinegar, we literally means we are jealous of her (for not being able to go to xxx Country now? or for not getting a job at ***G? or for not achieving our success like she did. Quite smart she is, isn't she? You might think she doesn't understand Chinese culture. But, she's so Chinese that even PRC people are not as shabby as she is. Anyway, who else on earth will give Vinegar as a souvenir to their friends where there are many things to buy.
Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy her story. haha....
