They agreed to go out for a walk, and it was really just a walk, but she took the circular line and ended up going all the way back to the guesthouse.
I got out of the car, shook my stiff back, and under the driver's incredulous gaze, I didn't do anything else.
When Qiu Yuling arrived, the two female leaders who were traveling with her had already arrived. There were four female comrades in total. One of the young comrades was even kidnapped by people on the train.
She temporarily lives alone in a room, and the two female leaders live in one room.
The two rooms were opposite each other. When she arrived, the other door was open. Seeing her come back, he called out to her, "Xiao Qiu, you're back? Where did you go? Beijing is very different, isn't it?"
Qiu Yuling responded with a "hmm" sound. She was in the car all the way, sightseeing in a hurry. She didn't go to any of the places she wanted to go. She did see a lot of farmland, but this place was not much different.
"Xiao Qiao hasn't come back yet. You can go to the cafeteria with us later." It was Zheng Xiuli who spoke, but Ji Shulan also had a smile on her face. Qiu Yuling inexplicably felt that their relationship seemed to be much more harmonious than before.
"Well, I'll go wash my hands and take my lunch box."
"Well, hurry up and come back soon, then we can go to the bathhouse together."
"Ah? Oh." She still had to be honest with him, but she couldn't say that she didn't like taking a bath. Just as she was cleaning up, Qiao Yue came back.
Qiu Yuling heard her and Director Ji talking outside, picked up her lunch box and opened the door, "Sister Xiao Qiao is back."
I didn't expect that the cool guy on the train would come with us.
Qiao Yue took her luggage, pointed at Qiu Yuling and the others, and said goodbye to Zhuaige, "Comrade Duan, you see it has been delivered. You've been delayed for so long, please go back."
"Well, since Comrade Qiao has returned to the organization, I will go back to report. Goodbye." Duan Xingchao handed the luggage in his hand to the little girl, nodded to everyone, and left without saying much.
Qiao Yue was going in to report on her work, so Qiu Yuling had to retreat temporarily.
Until the evening, Qiao Yue, perhaps because there was no better candidate, actually started talking about his troubles with Qiu Yuling.
"What do you think of Comrade Duan who came today?"
Qiu Yuling was making the bed. Upon hearing this, she sat down and asked, "Did you two know each other before?"
Qiao Yue paused for a moment before saying, "No, it wasn't long ago."
Qiu Yuling said matter-of-factly, "I don't know," and the two of them ran out of topics to talk about. It was true; she had only just met him on the train, and she had only met him twice. No matter how you looked at it, there was no point to start a conversation.
The National Abacus League will begin in two days. The contestants are all seeded players from provincial units. Qiu Yuling did not dare to underestimate the opponents, so she did not pay too much attention to Qiao Yue's affairs.
Everyone else had meetings, but Zheng Xiuli was the only one who made time to accompany Qiu Yuling through the process.
It is still a three-part series of preliminary rounds, semi-finals and finals. Since all the contestants are good players, the difficulty is high from the beginning, comparable to the strongest brains in later generations.
Eyesight, hand strength and memory are all essential.
Zheng Xiuli was afraid Qiu Yuling would feel pressured, so she stretched out her collar before going on stage. "Xiao Qiu, just take it easy. Strategically, you should despise the enemy, but tactically, you should take them seriously. Don't panic, okay? Better to be slow than wrong."
Qiu Yuling nodded and said, "Don't worry, Chief Zheng, if you keep me busy, the contestants from other units will all be on stage."
Zheng Xiuli hurriedly let go of Qiu Yuling and said, "Hurry up, it's time to draw lots."
In order to be fair, the preliminary round was randomly assigned to a group of ten, and they competed on the spot. Each person drew a number problem, just like the final system of the provincial bureau at that time. The top three correct and fastest people in each round entered the semi-finals.
Qiu Yuling won this round without any suspense, and one of the other two male comrades from their Agricultural Reclamation Bureau was eliminated. The remaining one was the one who made a mistake in calculating quickly earlier and was replaced in sequence.
After leaving the competition venue, Zheng Xiuli took the three of them to dinner. "This result is still relatively good. Don't be discouraged, Xiao Ma. Those who can participate are all good. It just so happens that you can follow your Section Chief Xu to Heilongjiang Province.
Xiao Qi was quite stable today, that's how it is, it's better to be slow than to make a mistake. As for Xiao Qiu, keep it up..."
Ma Lei smiled cheerfully, "Section Chief Zheng is right. I'm very happy to be here to broaden my horizons. However, I'll have to rely on Comrade Qiu and Comrade Qi from now on. I'm afraid I won't be able to attend your celebration banquet."
Qi Zhengyi was a bit honest and felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, "I was just blindly trying today, Comrade Qiu is more steady..."
It was Qiu Yuling's turn to speak. She swallowed her mouthful of noodles with soybean paste and looked embarrassed. "We are both at the same level. I might have had better luck on the spot..."
Zheng Xiuli denied and then affirmed her, "Luck is also part of strength. It's good not to be proud, but there's no need to be too modest. Go back and get some rest. Tomorrow we will enter the semi-finals. The rules for the semi-finals and finals have not been announced yet. Adjust your mindset and let your strength speak for itself."
After some inspiring speeches, Qiu Yuling was as excited as everyone else. When they returned to the guesthouse, they went to bed without waiting for Qiao Yue to come back.
The next day, in addition to the two of them, several section chiefs who came on business trips to attend the rematch also attended. Ji Shulan even peeled the eggs for them, which made Qiu Yuling feel embarrassed.
"Director Ji, I can do it myself. I'm not a child." The eggs were freshly boiled and still hot. Ji Shulan had already peeled one for Qi Zhengyi. Qiu Yuling stopped her from helping and wanted to peel it herself.
"It's okay, it's hot. Don't burn your hands. We still need to calculate later. Don't put it off. Just wait and eat..."
It was hard to refuse such a kind offer, and Qiu Yuling was the most promising candidate. Not only did Ji Shulan want to peel her, but the other leaders also treated her like a little kid and told her not to cause trouble.
The hot egg didn't burn her hands, but it burned her mouth. However, she didn't dare to be pretentious. She swallowed it in three or two mouthfuls and drank the porridge at the bottom of the bowl before swallowing it.
"Xiao Qiu, eat a little more." Zheng Xiuli advised, fearing that she would feel tired after participating in the competition.
Qiu Yuling was so frightened that she waved her hands repeatedly, "I really can't eat anymore. Besides, I'm afraid I'll get an upset stomach during the competition later."
It seemed that this possibility was not ruled out, so everyone stopped trying to persuade him.
After eating, several people rushed to the competition venue. At ten o'clock, the bell rang and the rules of the rematch were announced on time.
"Attention, all contestants. The next round will be divided into pairs, randomly drawn by the judges. The winner will repeat the competition until the remaining ten contestants enter the finals..."
"Ah, doesn't this mean the competition will last all day?" Ma Lei started to speak when Ji Shulan interrupted him, "Listen carefully to the rules, there's still one round to go."
"Attention, contestants, what's next..."
Qi Zhengyi made a small joke before the match officially started, "I hope that in the last ten matches, the opponent I draw isn't Xiao Qiu!"
