Chinese language proficiency competition for middle school students in six central provinces!
At the Liancheng Cultural and Art Center, banners were hung at the entrance and ribbons were hung all over the front square, extending all the way to the auditorium in the middle.
The auditorium was specially arranged for this competition, with the stage in the middle and a circle of seats surrounding the stage for judges, notaries and special guests invited by the organizers, and behind them were partitioned audience seats.
"Wow, it looks quite large."
The audience seats were divided into eight blocks, and the block on the south was the seating area for the contestants. Wang Zhaozhao and her companions, led by Director Guan, completed the relevant registration, received number plates, entered the venue and took their designated seats.
"This... I wonder how many viewers there are?" Zhou Zhizhi asked, swallowing her saliva.
"We can roughly calculate that there are six provinces, and each province has five teams of five people, which means there are 150 contestants in total. The contestant area is also partitioned off at the back, which means there are several rows for spectators."
Song Jiangli raised an eyebrow at her when he said this. "Let's assume there are 200 people in each area. Excluding our area, there are seven other areas, which means there are 1,400 people."
Zhou Zhizhi: “……!”
"Aren't you nervous? I, I am nervous." There are more than a thousand people, a lot.
Well...
Song Jiangli did not answer immediately, but turned his gaze to Wang Zhaozhao and the others.
"I'll be nervous too." Wang Zhaozhao said calmly.
“…” I really didn’t notice it at all.
"Hasn't it started yet? We only know we have to answer questions on the spot, but we don't know the specific format yet, so I'm saving my nervousness for now."
Wang Zhaozhao was telling the truth.
She is the type of person who can be nervous but also knows how to pretend. It doesn't show on her face, but it's all in her heart.
As everyone entered the venue one after another, the host came in at 8:30.
A pretty girl with a high ponytail and a gentle boy with glasses.
Greet, introduce yourself... After going through the whole process, start introducing the rules.
"The elimination and promotion are determined by the scores and rankings of the live questions answered on stage..."
In the first round, the participants were divided into five groups to answer questions. Each group sent one contestant to the stage. The final total score was used, and the last nine groups were eliminated.
"Alright, we have 10 minutes left. Each team can choose a powerful team name. This name will accompany you throughout the rest of the competition. Also, please discuss the order in which the players will appear on the court."
As the host finished speaking, the contestant area became lively.
Facing several pairs of eyes, Wang Zhaozhao looked innocent, "What a coincidence, right? We have saved time inexplicably... But do we really need to use 'Premature Graying'?"
After all, you have to accompany the entire competition, so you should be more serious and not wait for anything. Isn't it better than premature graying of hair?"
In other words, she was just talking nonsense at the time.
Obviously, everyone was speechless after hearing this, but suddenly they became excited and thought it was okay. Women's minds... are hard to understand.
"Since you thought of choosing a team name in advance, let's call it Shaobaitou!" said Xu Yanni.
"Yes, let's discuss the order of battle." Song Jiangli took up a notebook and a pen.
Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni exchanged a glance, and Xu Yanni spoke up, "Let's first choose a team leader. I think Jiang Li is suitable. She's the study committee member of our class."
Wang Zhaozhao did not immediately second the motion. If Chen Pei and Zhou Zhizhi were also interested in being the captain, then there had to be a fair way to decide.
It must be said that she, Xu Yanni and Song Jiangli were not only in the same school but also in the same class, so even a show of hands vote would not be considered fair.
This is really helpless.
"I have no objection." Chen Pei and Wang Zhaozhao have been 'hanging out' together for dozens of days, so naturally he stands on their side.
"I agree." Zhou Zhizhi naturally wouldn't object. Not to mention that the other school accounts for three out of the five middle schools, the short time they spent together was quite pleasant... This wasn't something that had to be argued about.
It was unanimously approved that Song Jiangli would be the captain.
She didn't hesitate and went straight to the point, "What do you think about the order of appearance?"
"I'll follow your instructions." Wang Zhaozhao spoke first.
"Me too." Xu Yanni followed.
Song Jiangli didn't wait for Chen Pei and Zhou Zhizhi to express their opinions. "Then Yanni will go first, followed by Chen Pei, me, Zhizhi, and Zhaozhao will be the last. Is that okay?"
Several people nodded in agreement.
It was done in three minutes. When Song Jiangli gave the team name and playing order to the staff, Wang Zhaozhao and the others drank water, chatted, and looked around.
Wang Zhaozhao had good eyesight, but at this moment he was a little doubtful about his eyes.
"Hey, Yanni, Peipei, look, from the sixth row in the next section, does that girl look like Jiaying?"
"Hmm? Let me see."
Xu Yanni was drinking water, and she quickly put down the cup and leaned over to find the right angle to look.
So is Chen Pei.
"Oh my god! It's not just a resemblance, it's exactly like her. Look, she's grinning at us with her teeth bared." Xu Yanni has always had a sharp eye.
That’s for sure!
Well, it was quite a surprise.
Moreover, there is more than one surprise.
If I'm not mistaken, there are a few people next to him.
"Xu Renjie, Xiao Zhikai, Zhao Shinan are here too, as well as Chu Jian. Hey... is that Xu Shengsheng?"
Wang Zhaozhao was thinking about it when Xu Yanni began to count them one by one. When she saw Xu Shengsheng at last, she was surprised again.
Anyway, just wave first. They can't go over and say hello right now.
After 10 minutes, the host came on stage again.
"Now, let us give the warmest applause to welcome the contestants from the six central provinces to the stage. The Jing Province Flying Eagles Team and the Crane Dance Team..."
There was actually an appearance segment. As the host called out the team names one by one, the contestants stood up and went on stage.
"Next up are the Haotian team, the Shaobaitou team, and the Taishan team from Lu Province..."
It was Wang Zhaozhao and the others’ turn. They stood up and followed everyone else onto the stage.
"Wow……"
There was a sudden commotion in the audience.
The nervous Zhou Zhizhi became even more nervous and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
"I don't know, maybe it's because we are too beautiful." Xu Yanni lied.
She has a sister filter for Wang Zhaozhao, and the other is Chen Pei. She knows that Wang Zhaozhao makes friends with Chen Pei because she is good-looking and looks even better when she smiles.
She felt that she was not particularly outstanding in front of them, but her appearance was still okay...
"I observed that our team is the only one composed of all girls." Song Jiangli's role as team leader came into play.
so……
Wang Zhaozhao immediately burst with confidence, "Yan Ni is right, we are both good-looking, and we each have our own unique temperaments, and we are both presentable."
“…”
