Time went by swiftly. Before long, it was time for Huo Yao's English oral competition.
The education channel employees had come to shoot the entire competition. They wanted to air a special about it.
An exhibition hall on the second floor of the Sports Center was rented for the competition. For the sake of creating the right atmosphere, the television station even invited an audience to sit in the spectator seats beneath the stage.
Huo Yao had participated in it purely for the $100,000 scholarship. She had her earphones plugged in during the entire journey.
A fellow participant quietly went up to her and asked her when she noticed the earphones. "Are you listening to an English recording?"
Huo Yao looked at the female student. Just as Huo Yao was about to reply, the girl said, "Mind if I have a listen?"
Huo Yao paused. Then she removed her earphones and graciously handed them to the girl.
