What she envisioned was still too far away, so she could only suppress these thoughts.
Soon, all twenty groups of contestants had introduced their works. Now, everyone's scores were in the hands of the chief judge. After a brief discussion among the judges, the chief judge walked onto the stage with a piece of paper and looked at the audience with a smile.
Everyone's heart instantly rose to their throat, and the silence was almost suffocating. Everyone stared intently at the piece of paper that would determine whether they could still enter the finals.
Teacher Qin started to get nervous again, and her legs were shaking uncontrollably.
"Teacher Qin, don't be nervous." Su Qingyun comforted her softly, "We won't let you down."
Teacher Qin had a bitter face and said so, but she just couldn't control herself.
The other teachers in charge of the team gritted their teeth when they heard Su Qingyun's words. Is this the fearlessness of a genius student? The children he led were trembling and speechless, and she was still able to calmly comfort her teacher.
"Now, everyone's results are in my hands." The head judge looked at the nervous crowd and unfolded the paper. "I will only read out the names of the five groups that have entered the finals and only announce their results."
As soon as these words were spoken, many students who had performed poorly breathed a sigh of relief. This saved them some face and prevented them from being too embarrassed.
"The first group is Yan Xiaoyong and Li Jun from Wei City. The second group is Guo Chengyu, Zhang Xiaofang, Wang Lei, and Chen Aiguo from Lan City. The third group is Su Qingyun and Ji Yue from Luoshui City. The fourth group is Li Xiaoxiao, Zhang Xia, and Wang Dazhi from this city. The last group is Chen Mu and An Huai, also from this city."
"The above-mentioned individuals are the finalists from our S Province who have entered the National Middle School Students' Creativity and Invention Competition."
After the chief judge read out the last name, the expressions in the audience varied, some were happy, some were sad, and everyone looked very excited.
"Is it passed already?" Before Teacher Qin could react, the name was already read out. She still felt as if she was in a dream.
"Passed." Su Qingyun said lightly, without showing any excitement.
The same goes for Ji Yue. These two people are undoubtedly the outliers in this auditorium.
The other four groups that made it to the finals were extremely excited. For example, Chen Mu and An Huai were both dumbfounded. They had decided to participate in the competition at the last minute, and all the works they submitted were not as good as they expected. They thought that the important thing was just to participate, but they didn't expect to make it to the finals.
"Are we so powerful?" Chen Mu said with some disbelief.
An Huai rubbed his face and said, "I'm lucky."
"What do you mean by luck?" Chen Mu didn't like what he said. "We are really strong, okay?"
"Yes, strength." An Huai's eyes were firm. "I must work hard in the finals."
Li Xiaoxiao also passed. She and her teammates are students in this city. They have always liked to study strange things. They participated in the competition out of interest, but they didn't expect to make it to the finals.
The chief judge stood on the stage, beaming as he waited for everyone's excitement to subside and calm down a bit before continuing, "The finals of the National Middle School Student Creativity and Invention Competition will be held in Beijing in half a month. You can choose to continue to compete with your current work, or submit a new entry to the organizing committee five days before the finals."
The five groups that entered the finals listened carefully, and their expressions changed subtly when they heard this. Although they could use their current works to participate in the competition, how could the works for the semi-finals be the same as those for the finals? Besides, everyone's works for today's competition have been introduced in such detail, and continuing to use their current works to participate would be too unoriginal. It might leave an impression of lack of ambition on the judges, which would be bad.
In an instant, everyone decided to prepare new entries.
Su Qingyun and Ji Yue looked at each other tacitly, and both smiled.
"What do you mean?" Su Qingyun asked him.
"I think..." Ji Yue deliberately dragged out his voice.
"Um?"
"I think I should show you something different." Ji Yue raised his eyebrows.
Su Qingyun laughed again, speaking with a carefree tone, "It's true, great minds think alike."
"Then... is it settled?"
The two of them clapped their hands lightly and made the decision.
Teacher Qin, who was ignored on the side, said: Do you really regard me as the team leader?
