"Oh? That's amazing! The young are really promising!" Old Mr. Bai laughed and walked towards the experts' seats.
Zhou Yi also sighed in her heart. In such a small county, someone could recognize her cursive "Autobiography" at a glance. It was indeed the best era in the literary world!
"Now we will enter the expert panel scoring phase. Contestants, please leave your seats." The county leader presided over the meeting and asked the contestants to leave their seats.
All contestants left the waiting area outside the red line, and the expert panel began to review the calligraphy works on each seat one by one.
After three rounds of review, the final selected works are selected by scoring. Then the experts communicate and select the top three from the selected works. The rest are regarded as excellent works.
While the experts were conducting the second round of review, Zhou Yiren had to go to the bathroom urgently.
When Wang Xueyi and Yun Yawen saw Zhou Yi leaving the venue, they thought she was going to escape and followed her out.
As soon as Zhou Yi reached the bathroom door, the two of them caught up with him.
"Hey, fatty, are you planning to escape by pretending to pee?" Yun Yawen shouted rudely.
Now everyone is in the conference hall and there is no one else in the corridor, so Yun Yawen is even more arrogant.
"I'm telling you, don't try to cheat. We have a bet." She looked so arrogant, as if she had already won.
"Are you sick?" Zhou Yi was in a hurry to go to the toilet and didn't bother to pay attention to her. He turned around and went into the bathroom.
Seeing Zhou Yi enter the bathroom, Yun Yawen and Wang Xueyi knew they were mistaken.
But the two of them still stood guard at the bathroom door, fearing that Zhou Yi would escape.
Zhou Yi came out and saw the two guys still waiting at the door. He was speechless.
After washing his hands, he ignored the two men and went straight back to the venue. The two men followed him closely as if they were monitoring a prisoner.
Back at the venue, the three rounds of review by experts had been completed, the selected works had been announced, and the staff were drawing up the list.
When the three returned to the contestant waiting area outside the red line, everyone looked at them with envy.
Zhou Yi's expression was calm. She certainly knew why everyone looked at her like that.
Yun Yawen also had a proud look on her face. She was not unfamiliar with such looks, as they often appeared in previous competitions. Everyone must be envious of her calligraphy winning another award.
"Yawen, it seems you are going to win another award. Congratulations." Wang Xueyi of course also noticed everyone's eyes and said softly.
"Xueyi, your calligraphy will definitely be selected. We can both get an excellent award at least." Yun Yawen had an unstoppable sense of superiority on her face.
Yun Yawen even looked at Zhou Yi provocatively, her eyes seemed to say, "Fatty, you're doomed to lose."
But what they didn't know was that when the two of them followed Zhou Yi out of the venue, the expert group conducted the third round of review. When they came to Zhou Yi's seat, the experts gathered together and finally unanimously gave the highest praise to her cursive "Autobiography".
The white-haired old man Li Renshi even commented: "When he writes, the wind and rain are shaken; when he stops writing, ghosts and gods cry." What an honor!
Even several experts felt inferior after watching the performance, and the expert group almost announced her as the first place in public.
The staff compiled a list of the top three and outstanding works and handed it over to the county leaders.
The county leader stood at the main lecture seat next to the expert seats, cleared his throat, and prepared to announce the winners.
"Dear contestants and guests, the results of today's calligraphy competition are in my hands. Are you looking forward to it? Are you nervous?" The county leader playfully kept everyone in suspense, while also not forgetting to arouse the tense atmosphere before the results were announced.
"expect!"
"nervous!"
The people in the viewing area and the waiting area for participants were very appreciative and responded loudly.
Especially in the contestants' waiting area, everyone looked at the county leader nervously, expecting to hear their names from his mouth.
"The first thing to be announced next is the list of the top ten outstanding works..." The county leader did not keep the suspense and read it out directly.
As expected, Yun Yawen, Wang Xueyi and Tang Xiaoqing were all selected for the list of outstanding works.
After the list was read out, Yun Yawen walked up to Zhou Yi and said arrogantly, "Fatty, kneel down."
"You are not only sick, but also a fool." Zhou Yi looked helplessly at Yun Yawen who had no eyesight at all.
No, not only does she lack judgment, she is also overly self-righteous and blindly arrogant.
"What's the matter? Your name is not on the list. Are you trying to cheat?" Yun Yawen looked like a smug villain.
"Has the list been announced?" Zhou Yi asked instead of answering.
"Hahaha, do you still think you can make it into the top three? Don't make me laugh to death." Yun Yawen laughed.
Seeing Yun Yawen's smug look, the people around her began to criticize her. Of course, during the third round of review, they judged from the expert panel's praise that Zhou Yi had a high chance of making it into the top three, or even first.
"Young man, leave some room for others so that we can meet again in the future. Don't go too far."
"There are always people who are better than you. You're so proud of yourself for winning the Excellence Award. If you could get into the top three, wouldn't you be on top?"
"You are still young and don't learn well. I advise you to be kind."
... ...
"You...you guys..." Yun Yawen's face flushed red as she continued to argue, "Everyone knows about the bet. She obviously lost and wanted to be lazy, so why are you guys defending this fat guy?"
"Just like what this chubby girl said, the list hasn't been announced yet. How can you be sure that she lost?" One of the contestants, a male who was about 50 or 60 years old, asked Yun Yawen.
