night,

Su Jiajia and Sun Wanying started chatting on the phone for a long time.

Su Jiajia told Sun Wanying about seeing Zhou Chen in Fengcheng.

Sun Wanying wasn't surprised to hear that Zhou Chen was going to Fengcheng to participate in a competition. She had heard Zhou Chen mention it before; it seemed to be called the Five Cities League.

Actually, she wanted to go, but Zhou Chen didn't invite her. Besides, her father brought a lot of account books and asked her to help with the accounting, which made it impossible for her to sneak off to watch the game.

She knew that Zhou Chen had great athletic talent; he had not only won the 100-meter championship but also broken the long jump record.

"Is he really that good?"

Su Jiajia was greatly surprised to hear that Zhou Chen was so strong in sports. She exclaimed in surprise. She thought that Zhou Chen was just a runner-up, playing a supporting role. After all, it is not easy to win a place in a competition.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Chen broke a long jump record that had stood for years, which was truly unbelievable to her.

"Perhaps he can still win first place in this five-city league."

"Wanying, is it possible that he was lucky last time? There weren't many strong competitors, so he got the chance. You also said that this competition is for high school athletes from five cities, not just Fengcheng City like last time. That's five cities, with hundreds of millions of people. I don't believe we can't find an athlete better than him."

Thinking that Zhou Chen might have mocked her for having small breasts, Su Jiajia was both angry and depressed, and didn't want to see Zhou Chen in the limelight.

That being said, considering Zhou Chen's lightning speed on the field, Sun Wanying felt that even with four city-level cities participating, Zhou Chen's chances of winning the championship were still very high.

"He won't lose."

Sun Wanying had a strong premonition.

Upon hearing this, Su Jiajia was about to retort, but the next second, she exclaimed in surprise, "Wanying, something's not right with you. How can you be so confident that he can get first place? I feel like your relationship with him has become much closer. You mention his name so naturally, which is very abnormal. Tell me honestly, what exactly happened between you two?"

When pressed by her close friend and best friend Su Jiajia for answers, Sun Wanying felt somewhat embarrassed.

"It's not what you think. He and I have always been friends, it's just..."

Sun Wanying hesitated for a moment, reluctant to tell the truth. Seeing this, Su Jiajia urged her to confess quickly.

"However, he asked me for advice on management, and I taught him some things, so we became much more familiar with each other. Please don't misunderstand our relationship," Sun Wanying said, not hiding anything.

"What?"

Su Jiajia exclaimed in surprise, then said that there was definitely something fishy going on between the two, and they were definitely not just ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend.

Sun Wanying explained that Zhou Chen wanted to expand the company, which is why he sought advice on management, and that finally convinced Su Jiajia.

"Okay, I believe you."

"By the way, Wanying, do you know what the phrase 'you're too cute' means?"

Su Jiajia changed the subject and asked.

Sun Wanying shook her head. "That sounds awkward. Normal people don't say things like that. Where did you hear that? Is this matter that important?"

"Ah...it's nothing, I just didn't know what it meant, I was just curious, it's not that important." Su Jiajia didn't say that it came from Zhou Chen.

The two chatted about other things for a while before hanging up.

Sun Wanying lay in bed, feeling helpless and disappointed as she thought about having to continue checking the accounts tomorrow and not being able to watch the live game.

Her eyes lit up instantly when she thought about watching the live broadcast on TV.

Watching TV is the same.

What did Su Jiajia mean by that awkward sentence with incorrect word order?

What do you mean, "You're too cute, kid"?

You little rascal? Grandma, your grandma is so…

Half asleep and half awake, Sun Wanying seemed to have found the answer, but she quickly fell asleep again.

...

“Xiao Zhou, you need to pay special attention to this guy named Ma Dong. He is your strongest competitor in this competition. He entered the provincial team a long time ago and is a prospective member of the national team. In other words, he will definitely enter the national team and become a professional athlete in the future.”

Upon arriving at the competition venue, Lu Guoliang held a meeting with everyone, specifically pointing out the famous and strong competitors.

As the most popular event, the 100-meter sprint is undoubtedly the most dazzling.

Zhou Chen won first place in her first competition, running a remarkable 12.36 seconds, which has already made her famous and attracted a lot of attention.

This five-city league is seen as an opponent by many.

The school team members felt immense pressure upon hearing that one of their competitors was a member of the national team's reserve squad. Their only consolation was that this formidable opponent was not on the same playing field as them, but rather was Zhou Chen's competitor. If it were them, their confidence would have already been shaken.

He's a reserve member of the national team, and someone who entered the provincial team early on, which speaks volumes about his ability.

No one on the entire school team has ever received an invitation from the provincial team, while this person is already far ahead in the provincial team and has secured a spot on the national team. The gap is enormous.

Zhou Chen was familiar with Ma Dong's name; he was one of the challengers he received yesterday.

I just didn't expect that this guy was already an athlete in the provincial team and a prospective member of the national team. He's really amazing.

However, the stronger the opponent, the more excited Zhou Chen will become.

A competition is more interesting when there are strong competitors; otherwise, a competition with no suspense wouldn't have so many surprises or record-breaking moments.

Zhou Chen doesn't mind having strong opponents.

Because being invincible is too lonely.

Moreover, he also wanted to meet this provincial team member and see how he fared.

"Xiao Zhou, today's sprint is an elimination round, so you don't need to go all out. Just make sure you make it to the finals."

"Tomorrow's final is the most important. Remember, you absolutely cannot get injured today, even if your ranking in the knockout stage isn't particularly good."

"As long as you can take first place in the end, that's enough."

Lu Guoliang gave his instructions.

He wasn't worried about anyone else, because none of the other opponents were as monstrous as the one Zhou Chen was facing this time. There was only one athlete from the provincial team, and the others posed no threat to Zhou Chen.

Even though Zhou Chen came in second place, he could accept it.

But to take first place and overshadow the provincial team member would be an incredible achievement.

Zhou Chen will inevitably become a member of the national team in the future.

This is a great opportunity to draw the attention of the national team.

"Teacher Lu, don't worry, I know what to do!"

Zhou Chen smiled slightly, without making any promises about winning first place. He believed that he could adapt to the situation on the field and that with his strength, winning the knockout stage would be no problem.

at the same time,

Outside the stadium, Su Jiajia, wearing a baseball cap and a mask that completely covered her face, went to the entrance, took out her entry pass, and followed the flow of people inside.
