Finals day.
In front of Xiangxin Hall, Wang Zhaozhao and others got off the minibus.
"It's the finals after all, so Xiangxin Hall has been decorated a bit, with banners hung up."
Hydrangeas cut out of red paper were hung on the door plaque in front of the hall, and colorful small flags cut out of colored paper were hung diagonally from the eaves to the wall, strung together with ropes.
Everyone took a quick look at the courtyard, which had added some color, and entered Xiangxin Hall.
There are also decorations inside. In the hall on the right, there are three gray-haired old men sitting there drinking tea.
One of them was someone Wang Zhaozhao and the others knew.
Mr. Gu nodded with a smile, "Come on, there's still some time, come and sit down."
"Teacher Gu."
Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Renjie were really obedient and turned around. Xu Yanni, Chen Pei, Zheng Yimin and others followed them reflexively.
Chu Jian and Zhao Shinan hesitated for a moment and followed.
The other contestants were two or three steps slower, and when they got there there were only a few seats left, so they had to stand at the back.
"The students in front know me, but there are some behind me who don't know me... My last name is Gu, you can just call me Teacher Gu. The two people next to me are Teacher Fang and Teacher Qin." Old Gu introduced everyone with a kind smile.
"Teacher Gu."
"Teacher Fang."
"Teacher Qin."
Everyone started shouting.
The other two were an old man with a kind smile and a serious face.
The serious-looking Old Qin received a cold look from the smiling Old Fang. "Why are you so stern, old man? Don't scare the little kids."
"They are made of glass. Will they be scared if I don't smile?" Old Qin glared at him unhappily.
It’s over. He curled his lips at the young men.
Contestants: Teacher, you are right, we are not made of glass, you don’t have to smile at us, really.
When Old Qin smiles, he is scarier than when he is serious.
"Don't be nervous, we don't have anything else to do. We just want to see you." Old Gu looked at the group of teenagers in front of her like a kind old neighbor grandmother.
"Today is the last game. I hope you can play well and enjoy yourself."
"That's right!" Elder Fang nodded. "This match is certainly important, but don't get too nervous. Just enjoy the process."
Old Qin replied sternly, "The process is important, and the result is important too. It hasn't been easy for you all to come this far. Now that you're here, of course you should aim for first place. Come on, everyone."
The three bosses have very distinct personalities.
Old Fang gave Old Qin a dead look. This old man was very annoying.
Old Qin frowned and glared back at him unhappily.
Elder Gu was not surprised by the two old men's behavior. He smiled at the young people and said, "You are about to compete. Why not delay us? We will have a chance to meet and exchange ideas after the competition."
This means that after the event, there will be a banquet or a serious exchange meeting.
Then, the three big guys led them into the arena.
The boss took his seat in front of the audience, and the contestants followed the staff's guidance and entered their respective areas.
"The audience seats seem to have expanded today." Chen Pei raised his eyebrows and said.
He glanced around, paused slightly at a certain point, and gently pulled Xu Yanni, "Look at the audience, is anyone from your family here?"
What's the meaning?
Xu Yanni subconsciously looked over there, and uh, there it was.
"This...are they still selling tickets?"
"Do you think it's possible?"
"Ah? They're not going to use their connections to get here by force, are they?"
“…”
Chen Pei was silent. Wang Zhaozhao asked for her help with amusement, "Can't this just be a normal invitation?"
"Ahem...oh."
With an awkward dry cough, Xu Yanni gave a wry smile when she saw everyone was looking at her.
After a pause, she pulled Wang Zhaozhao and Chen Pei aside and whispered, "Let's play for two more days before going back. Please come to my house."
"Play for two more days..." Wang Zhaozhao hesitated.
It mainly depends on the air tickets arranged by the working group. She can't possibly give up the public air ticket, play for two days, and then pay for the return trip out of her own pocket.
Although she has a small savings now, she still can't bear to pay for the plane ticket out of her own pocket.
Of course Chen Pei was willing, but seeing Wang Zhaozhao's hesitation, she didn't agree happily.
Xu Yanni took Wang Zhaozhao's arm and said, "You came to Beijing City, but you're not going to spend more than two days there before leaving? Don't you want to visit the library here?"
"Forehead……"
"Don't you want to go and see the Huazhong University you want to attend?"
“…”
"When this is over, we can ask Teacher Chen if we can postpone our flight for two or three days?"
As Xu Yanni spoke, she raised an eyebrow at Chen Pei.
Chen Pei: "If possible, I'll stay for two or three more days."
Teacher Chen, who was just two seats away, said: You are talking so loudly, are you afraid that I can’t hear you?
"Yes! In fact, the original itinerary included three days of sightseeing after the competition," said Teacher Chen.
"Wow, Teacher Chen, you're so handsome!" Xu Yanni gave him a thumbs up.
"I just want first place." Teacher Chen gave a typical smile.
Xu Yanni looked at Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Renjie, "Captain and Sister Zhao will answer this question."
"I'm younger than you, thank you." Wang Zhaozhao declined politely.
"This question... let's go up on stage and answer it." Xu Renjie had already stood up while speaking.
The host had some opening remarks today, which took a little time, and now he is inviting the contestants to come on stage.
Led by Xu Renjie, a team of 6 people walked up to the answering platform.
Because Team 3 stopped yesterday, their Team 6's answering table is the first one today.
"There are a lot more spectators today, so before the competition officially begins, the players from each team should introduce theirselves."
The host is no longer direct and practical, but more approachable.
"Hello everyone, we are Team 6 from Lu Province. I am the team leader, Xu Renjie, and I am from Lu Province Baimin Experimental Middle School."
"Hello everyone, I'm Wang Zhaozhao from Team 6 of Lu Province, from Zhushan County Middle School in Lianshan City, Lu Province."
"Hello everyone, I'm Xu Yanni from Lu Province Team No. 6, from Zhushan County Middle School in Lianshan City, Lu Province."
"Hello everyone, I'm Chen Pei from Lu Province Team No. 6, from Lianshan City No. 3 Middle School in Lu Province."
“…”
When we introduced ourselves for the second time, everyone was still very polite.
Today's introduction carries even greater weight.
But at this time, the contestants standing at the answering platform had no time to think about it.
Going all out and completing today's game is their only belief at this moment.
"Okay, now let's officially enter the competition. Today will still be divided into three rounds."
"In the first round, the three teams will take turns answering questions. Each team will answer ten questions, no repetitions, and three points will be deducted for incorrect answers."
"Starting from Lu Province Team, number 6, please read the questions."
"Simplify: below the square root, 5 minus the square root of 21..."
