This was Mingzhuo's first time participating in such intensive training. His daily schedule was packed with classes, and he was constantly taking exams and doing practice questions.
Fortunately, the organizers were very generous, and the meals were excellent every day.
Not only did they offer a wide variety of Chinese dishes, but they also booked the hotel's Western restaurant on Thursday night for a buffet.
Mingzhuo had made a detailed plan with great enthusiasm, determined to eat his money's worth in one go and not let the organizers down.
She arrived early and went straight to the meat section, where she got grilled meat, steak, salmon, abalone, grilled scallops...
The table was filled with more than a dozen plates, which was quite a sight and attracted the attention of everyone who came in.
When Mingzhuo saw the person appear at the door, he quickly waved: "Li Wenhe, over here!"
Li Wenhe was clearly taken aback for a moment, then quickly walked over and sat down at the table.
Two other people were with her: the woman was Mingzhuo's roommate named Zhou Leyi, and the man was Zhou Leyi's classmate named Shen Xiyou.
Mingzhuo: "I found a good spot, right? The little sofa here is quite comfortable, and we can see the view outside the window. Okay, let's eat!"
Li Wenhe remained silent for a moment, then took off the suit jacket he had specially changed into, placed it on the sofa armrest, rolled up his sleeves, and got to work.
Zhou Leyi asked nervously, "Why does it seem like everyone has changed their clothes?"
They occupied the best spots, but they seemed out of place with their surroundings, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Shen Xi said expressionlessly, "So what? It didn't say we couldn't eat if we didn't change our clothes."
Mingzhuo: "That's right. Some people do it for social reasons, and some do it for food. We should respect individual habits and differences and not follow the crowd."
Li Wenhe silently thought to himself, "You're just lazy, aren't you?"
Zhou Leyi, on the other hand, relaxed. In just a few days, she unconsciously regarded Ming Zhuo as her opinion leader.
I feel that the other person lives a carefree and open-minded life, with a resilient and vibrant inner strength, and is never affected by external evaluations.
In fact, the training camp these past few days has not been as calm as it appears on the surface.
I don't know where the rumor came from, but it's said that Ruan Mingzhuo used to be a delinquent, had the worst grades, and a terrible personality.
Now that she's found a wealthy brother-in-law, she's transformed into a top student through some maneuvering, leading to speculation that she's participating in the Olympiad selection process to enhance her resume.
Some people frequently bring up the variety show "Exchange of Lives," which was taken down, saying that some of the characters are hard to describe, while others are beautiful and kind-hearted, such as Chu Yuqi and Cheng Jingru.
Zhou Leyi was furious when she heard this. There were only three people involved in that variety show, and it was obvious who she was referring to.
However, Mingzhuo had a very good attitude and completely ignored those people.
She remained calm, while others couldn't.
Cheng Jingru wore a misty blue gauze dress. Her carefully made-up appearance gave her a pure and innocent charm, making her look delicate and pitiful.
"Sister, may I sit here?" She was holding a plate with only a few delicate pastries on it.
The sofa here is very spacious; three people can easily squeeze in.
She had a plan in mind; the teacher was at the next table, and Mingzhuo had to maintain a facade of harmony.
As she spoke, she prepared to sit down, and Zhou Leyi even made way for her to move over.
Mingzhuo: "No."
Cheng Jingru looked at her with some surprise, then gently bit her lower lip, looking embarrassed.
Several boys nearby immediately became indignant and stood up angrily to question, "How could you do this?"
"That's how I want it," Mingzhuo said as she ate, without even looking up. She was genuinely enjoying the food and didn't have time to argue.
At the next table, someone looked at him with disdain, saying, "She's really going too far."
Chu Yuqi smiled and said, "Ruan Mingzhuo used to be quite unsociable."
In his heart, he thought, "What a bunch of idiots. With my familiarity with the plot, I can easily find a few people to stir things up and achieve unexpected results."
The female lead, Cheng Jingru, is the one she has studied the most, so she naturally has a way to gain the other party's trust. Moreover, Cheng Jinghao's curse relies on her to come up with a solution, and Cheng's parents almost always listen to her.
As for the other supporting characters, needless to say, they're too easy to manipulate as two-dimensional characters.
Her only complaint was about Ruan Mingzhuo, this variable. She had been waiting for his reaction for the past few days, but instead, she was ignored.
This was unbearable for her. She was so famous, and even though she was ridiculed a few days ago, her talent was still acknowledged.
Many people have come to him for fortune telling these past few days, but Ruan Mingzhuo has never mentioned that he can tell fortunes. Could it be that the day he wiped out the fortune teller was just a fluke?
Chu Yuqi originally didn't take Ruan Mingzhuo seriously, let alone consider him her rival, but this time the matter of only having three divinations made her somewhat concerned.
After all, this was the first time she had suffered such a big setback since transmigrating into the book, and it was difficult for her to relieve her frustration.
Although I don't think that only three divinations have anything to do with Mingzhuo, who told Mingzhuo to sell his amulets for 100,000? He might have bought them from only three divinations.
Even the friend of an enemy is still an enemy; it would be unreasonable for her not to deal with Mingzhuo.
"Chu Chu, can you predict whether she'll win the gold medal tomorrow?" someone asked with a laugh, their voice quite loud.
The people at the table exchanged knowing glances.
Chu Yuqi was quick to predict the future and had already figured out that the people at this table, along with Cheng Jingru, would sweep the gold medals.
As for Ruan Mingzhuo, let alone a gold medal, she couldn't possibly win any medal at all. Everyone knows she's just spending money to get a prestigious title.
At one table, the top students chatted and laughed, while at the next table were the teachers from each school and the organizers. They had just toasted each other with tea instead of wine to express their gratitude for the teachers' guidance.
Isn't he much more sensible than others, and much closer to his teacher?
Li Wenhe glanced at the group of people at the table with a gloomy look in his eyes. He could tell, of course, that Cheng Jingru and the people around her had been instigated by someone with ulterior motives.
Just when he thought Mingzhuo was unwilling to pay attention to that group of people, Mingzhuo suddenly wiped his mouth and stood up.
She walked straight to that table and answered the question from before: "I can definitely win the gold medal, but you guys definitely can't."
These words caused a stir among the people at the table, and their expressions gradually turned ugly.
What makes you say that?
"Chu Chu is a genius of the Xuanmen sect, a diviner. Don't think you can shake our confidence with your empty words."
"Faced with absolute strength, your petty tricks will only make you a laughing stock."
Mingzhuo looked at Chu Yuqi: "Didn't I tell you that your calculations are inaccurate? Don't do them again."
She paused, then continued, "You used to say I was going to die a violent death, but I'm alive and well; you also said my sister would get pregnant within a week, but several months have passed, and you still think you're so amazing?"
The teacher at the next table frowned as he listened, thinking that cursing someone to die a violent death was going too far.
Chu Yuqi was somewhat annoyed. "Although fate has its predetermined course, there are also variables. Otherwise, why would there be the saying of changing one's fate? Your family has money to hire a master, so of course they can avoid misfortune and seek good fortune. Besides, if I hadn't kindly reminded you, would you have changed so much? I'm afraid your fate would have been irreversible long ago."
Do you understand? I'm your savior!
