As more and more question cards were drawn, the questions became longer and more tricky. The runners-up from various units below the stage had given up on counting their answers. They couldn't even remember the questions.
Qiu Yuling held her breath and concentrated her attention. Although the winner was almost decided, she did not dare to slack off as long as the game was not over.
Now the score between her, contestant number one and contestant number three is very close, because now it is not just a matter of who can move the abacus beads faster, but also a comprehensive test of memory and reaction ability.
As a result, her advantage was not so obvious, and the score was always very close.
Qiu Yuling never looks down on people today. In an era where people can develop the two bombs and one satellite from scratch, there is no shortage of truly capable people.
Zheng Xiuli and her group in the audience were already sweating from nervousness, worried that Qiu Yuling would clap too slowly, or that she would miscalculate and ruin all their efforts...
"Oh, Old Ji, a game of abacus almost gave me heart palpitations." Before they knew it, the two men's hands were clasped together.
A bell rang, announcing that the game time was up.
Zheng Xiuli stood up excitedly, "Old Ji, Xiao Qiu got the highest score, right?"
Soon, the organizers announced the top three list, and Qiu Yuling was on the list.
A group of people surrounded Qiu Yuling and came out. "Xiao Qiu has really made us proud this time. I heard from them that the best candidate this time will be seconded to work on some very important algorithm."
Qiu Yuling really doesn't know this. She just does her best in every task at hand. As for the deeper meaning or her own long-term plans, she doesn't have any of that.
Seeing Qiu Yuling's face full of surprise, Ji Shulan explained to her, "It's normal that you don't know this. In order not to interfere with the selection process, the news was not spread downwards. In fact, we only know a rough outline. It's just a secondment, and there are a lot of procedures and political reviews..."
Qiu Yuling still said that she is a brick of the revolution and will be moved wherever she is needed!
After praising her, the group officially gave her three days off. "Xiao Qiu, it's a rare trip to Beijing. Take a good look around. Director Ji will take you back after the holiday. There are rewards at the bureau..."
The boss’s cake was big and round, and Qiu Yuling was looking forward to it the whole time. But at this moment, she wanted to go shopping in this different Beijing city more.
Qiao Yue broke her arm, making it inconvenient for her to travel. The two female leaders were busy attending various meetings, leaving her alone to go shopping. Qiu Yuling thought this was just what she wanted.
Qiu Yuling was not interested in Friendship Stores or department stores. She preferred the scrap yards at the end of the streets and alleys.
"Uncle, do you have any old books, old newspapers or old things?" A young man started talking to the staff in front of Qiu Yuling.
Qiu Yuling also stopped with her ears perked up.
The old man looked the young man up and down, thinking he was wearing a red armband on an incognito visit. "No, we did everything according to the rules. There's nothing left."
The young man asked a few more questions, but the old man didn't answer any of them. So Qiu Yuling just turned around and left like any other onlookers.
Forget it, it’s not her turn to pick up the slack, so she’d better just be honest.
She was walking on the road when she heard a bicycle bell behind her. She quickly dodged to the wall and was almost caught.
"Junzi, why don't you go and see your old classmate?" Feng Baoguo nudged his good brother with his elbow. He remembered this girl.
"Don't bother others. It's more important to take care of your own things first." Li Hongjun had already understood Qiu Yuling's subtext, and he didn't want to bother others when he couldn't do anything.
To use the words that he heard Qiu Yuling teach Wang Shehong when he was a child, "Nothing is difficult in the world as long as you are willing to give up."
Qiu Yuling didn't know that a word she blurted out unconsciously could have such a profound impact on both of them at that moment.
Wang Aihong: This has always been difficult? Well, then it's not my job! For example, studying.
Li Hongjun felt that this road was blocked. Well, he would not go on for now. He would wait until others found a way out before he went on.
Feng Baoguo was very touched when he heard this. "Good brother, you are my brother, Lao Feng. Brothers are like brothers, and women are like..."
"Hurry up and leave." The second half of the sentence was interrupted by Li Hongjun. He didn't like to act like a brother in front of Qiu Yuling. Even though they were far away, he subconsciously didn't want to do it for fear that someone would hear him.
Qiu Yuling waited until the cycling team passed by before turning onto the main road. At this moment, the city was full of young people who had dropped out of school. She decided to just go and buy some local specialties for her relatives and friends.
The department stores in Beijing are obviously more comprehensive and can be described as dazzling.
She took a fancy to a woolen coat. The fur was not pure and cost 98 yuan. She thought it was acceptable, but it was really not cheap at that time.
There was a gray and a white one hanging on the wall. Qiu Yuling pointed at the gray one and said, "Comrade, wrap this one for me."
I quickly took out the money and waited for the ticket to come back. In the blink of an eye, the white one was sold.
Qiu Yuling remembered the appearance and immediately placed an order for white ones in the system mall, one for her mother and one for her master.
If you have a mother, you must have a father. Picking up the simple package handed to her by the counter, she put the clothes into her bag and continued to stroll around to look at men's clothing.
I didn't buy a woolen coat for Mr. Qiu, but I did like a blue cotton coat. I only placed an order for it, and then I placed another order for the same one for Uncle Gan in the system mall.
Her godfather knew many wealthy old men and women who received pensions, and they often asked her to place orders for Yangrong Pills in private. In the past two years, she had made a lot of money from this alone, and it was only right that she should give back.
Grandma was supposed to be back at the end of the year. She didn't find the right ready-made clothes, but she did see the right material. "Comrade, give me a length of this."
Cloth coupons were limited, so she would buy some sample cloth and then place an order in the mall. She never even thought about risky things like reselling or repurchasing.
Wang Aihong used to be her childhood friend, and will be her sister-in-law in the future. After thinking about it, she placed two orders for the same red scarf, one for each of them.
There were also some candies and snacks from her colleagues at work, so she picked some up and bought a few for each of them.
By the time I went out, I had a lot of things in my hands.
She also took a fancy to a Hongqi 625-2 tube radio, which she thought her grandmother would definitely love.
But this thing is damn expensive.
This was no problem for her; as long as she wanted it, she could have it. Because she had too many things to carry, she queued up for a tricycle.
"Where are you going, comrade?"
"Near Lumi Cang Hutong, the Red Star Guesthouse. Master, we have quite a lot of foreign guests here."
"Of course, this is a very happy place..." The tricycle driver boasted all the way, from the local customs and habits to the food and drinks, and even knew which alleys had been used by princes and princesses.
Qiu Yuling listened with great interest.
