Qiu Yuling knew nothing about it and she was already actively preparing for the battle.
Any competition is a competition, so she still follows the routine, eats well, sleeps well and conserves her energy.
The competition this time was a stack of receipt-sized account paper, with twenty groups of numbers on each page, including addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The numbers in each book were different. Calculate the numbers and fill in the answers on the last page.
Ranking will be based on the fastest and most accurate result, and results will be announced on the spot.
Pencils and abacus were thrown around on the spot. Qiu Yuling was glad that she had never relied on cheating in academics and technology. No matter how she changed the tools, as long as she had real skills, it would not affect her being the first to hand in the paper.
After handing in the paper, the invigilator asked her to rest in the corridor outside and wait for the final result.
Out of boredom, she simply leaned against the pillar and drew lines on the ground with her toes.
"Qiu Yuling?" An unfamiliar voice came from behind. Qiu Yuling turned her head against the light and could not see the person clearly, but judging from the figure, she did not recognize him.
Only when the person who spoke came closer did she see him clearly and confirmed that he had no impression of her.
"I just heard them over there say that the first person to hand in the paper was named Qiu Yuling. I was thinking maybe it was someone with the same name, but I didn't expect it to be you." The visitor seemed surprised to see her here.
Qiu Yuling changed her lazy posture and stood up straight. "Comrade, who are you?"
"We were classmates in elementary school. You may not remember me well. My name is Li Hongjun." Li Hongjun talked about his childhood.
Qiu Yuling finally grasped the key point, "Oh, he's an alumnus, not a classmate. I was wondering why I couldn't remember him." In fact, she still couldn't remember him even now.
Especially in the past two years, many young people around her have changed their names, and she basically can't match them when she hears their names.
Li Hongjun chuckled. The girl kept saying "oh" and it was obvious that she had no impression at all. It was a pity that he often asked about her grades when he went back to his hometown.
He skipped grades and studied so hard that no one even knew who he was.
"When you were a kid, you were afraid of earthworms, so I helped you catch them. Do you remember?" Li Hongjun gave another hint.
"Oh~ It's you. Why are you here? I haven't seen you for many years." I had some impression of him, but it was only that little bit. I didn't know why he came here.
Li Hongjun smiled, a bit embarrassed. "I'm here on a business trip. I'm currently working at the Geological Exploration Institute in our city. I came here to run some errands. So, could you lend me some money?"
After saying this, his ears turned red. "Don't worry, I'll return it to you when I get back. I left my bag on the bus and have already reported it to the police. They said it's not a big deal, but now I'm penniless, and the matter isn't settled yet..."
Qiu Yuling breathed a sigh of relief. "Borrow some money. How much? Is twenty enough? I don't have much on me." She was so scared. She thought she was in a premature love relationship.
"It's much more, ten yuan is enough. Just leave me your address and I will send it to you later, or mail it to you, or transfer it to you, either way is fine." Li Hongjun was afraid of being rejected, so he gave many options.
Qiu Yuling took out ten yuan from her pocket and said, "Here, take it. Don't worry. I don't have any paper or pen. We are both schoolmates and fellow townspeople. I'm not afraid that you'll run away. You can just return it to me when we meet again."
Li Hongjun refused to answer. "That's impossible. I don't even know where you work, and I don't know where I can meet you. Wouldn't that be like begging for advantage? I won't lend it to you. At worst, I'll risk my dignity and go to my boss to borrow some..."
Qiu Yuling said, "Oh," and said, "That's good too. The leaders are our parents. If we have any problems, we should go to them."
Li Hongjun: ...
Who in their right mind would respond like that? Never mind, he had to be thick-skinned and continue. If she didn't give it to him, he could find a way to find out himself.
Qiu Yuling was putting the money back when someone took it away again.
When I looked up, the other person looked as if he couldn't speak. "Forget it, it's better to embarrass myself once than twice. Anyway, I've already opened my mouth in front of you, so I won't show off in front of the leader, so that he won't think I'm impulsive..."
Qiu Yuling didn't comment. When she looked up, she saw that the front of the examination room was crowded. "Well, I see a lot of candidates coming out over there. I'll go over and take a look. You can go and do whatever you want." After saying that, she didn't care about other people's reactions and hurriedly trotted to the competition examination room.
Li Hongjun folded the big unity note, carefully put it back into his pocket, and did not follow him.
The competition committee announced the top three, and Qiu Yuling took the lead again. She now has a personal honorary certificate and a first prize certificate from the Fifth Branch of the Agricultural Reclamation Bureau.
She participated in the competition in the name of the Fifth Precinct. There were only personal honors and collective rewards on the scene. Her personal rewards would be the Fifth Precinct's business after she returned.
Everyone congratulated this beautiful female comrade, and the leader of the judging panel even selected Qiu Yuling to speak.
"Young comrade, you're a skilled abacus user and have beautiful handwriting. It's rare to see someone so steady at such a young age. Tell me, do you have the confidence to represent our General Administration and compete with talented individuals from all corners of the country?"
Even if she doesn't have it, she has to try. Qiu Yuling immediately said that she is not afraid of difficulties and is willing to give it a try.
Just now she was an opponent, but now the roles have been reversed and Qiu Yuling has immediately become a warrior. The contestants and spectators all gave her warm applause.
After showing off her skills, Qiu Yuling waited until the leader left, then actively broke out of the crowd to keep a date with her old classmates.
She thought she was the first to arrive, but unexpectedly, several old classmates were already waiting for her at the stone platform in front of the department store.
As soon as they met, Zhao Xiaogu pounced on him, wanting to crush her friend repeatedly with her well-developed body.
Qiu Yuling finally managed to tear him away and landed in a new embrace. Li Feidan pulled her braids and stretched out his hand, "Where's mine?"
His eyes were still scanning Qiu Yuling's two thick black braids.
"I understand, I understand. These are the rules of your underworld." After saying that, he took out the soap he had prepared in advance from his bag.
"Here, one for each of you. This is an authentic old recipe. The shampoo will make your hair black and shiny, and the face wash will make your skin smooth and creamy. You can't even buy this in a department store."
The two took it and continued to say, "Stop bragging. You're not that amazing."
Qiu Yuling pointed to her head and face and said, "Whether it's bragging or not, let the facts speak for themselves."
Li Feidan pinched her baby fat that had not yet faded, "Don't fool us, you are just young and have a good foundation..."
After a few pleasantries, Qiu Yuling checked the time and said, "Qiaolan should be off work soon. Should we go in and wait for her?"
Zhao Xiaogu put the things into the bag and pulled Qiu Yuling's arm, "No need, she's in the dormitory. When I went there yesterday, she was very busy and the movers tripped her. Her ankle is swollen.
She barely made it to our factory gatehouse, and someone called us out. We were the ones who brought her back. She couldn't walk today, so she stayed in the dormitory all day to recover.
