Chapter 60 Nonsense
Miranda's final score was 71.03 points, and the 3A that fell was judged to be a missed opportunity as expected.
But her 34 points for program content still made He Hui very envious.
"When can I get such a high P score?" He Hui's face was wrinkled with envy.
Lin Xiaoman rubbed her head and said, "If you hold on a little longer, it will definitely go up."
"But I don't have that much time." He Hui replied, with a somewhat depressed tone.
There are still three months until the opening of Sochi. Apart from the current Japan station, the only competitions she can score points in are the finals in December and the Four Continents Championships in January. The chances are slim.
Lin Xiaoman knew that her apprentice's goal had always been to win the Winter Olympics. She had not yet reached the most difficult stage of development. For her, the quadrennial Winter Olympics was indeed the most promising event for her to win in Sochi, which was just around the corner.
After all, aren’t there many talented female figure skating girls who have failed in the development stage?
Lin Xiaoman sighed in her heart, not knowing how to answer.
"We should do our best and not worry too much about the uncontrollable parts." This was the only way Lin Xiaoman could comfort us.
"good."
After the short program, He Hui temporarily ranked first, Miranda rushed to second, Anna and Eriko Sanada temporarily ranked third and fourth with extremely small differences, and Tan Ling only ranked fifth.
As Lin Xiaoman said before, the competition in Japan is much more intense than that in China.
After the game, Tan Ling still felt indescribably awkward looking at He Hui.
"Tell me, what's going on?" He Hui walked up to Tan Ling and asked straight to the point, "I feel like you're going to suffocate to death if you don't tell me."
Tan Ling touched the back of his head a little embarrassedly: "Is it so obvious?"
"uh-huh."
"Well, have you not been checking Weibo recently?" Tan Ling asked tentatively.
He Hui then remembered the cell phone in his pocket that had become a brick, so he took it out from the compartment of his backpack and pressed the power button.
"I didn't look at my phone." He Hui showed the phone, which was displaying the boot screen, in the direction of Tan Ling. "What's wrong?"
Tan Ling looked as if she didn't know what was going on, but she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
She wrinkled her nose, annoyed at herself for speaking out of turn. The competition in Japan was so intense, and He Hui's free skating configuration was so difficult, so she must have been under considerable pressure every time.
"It's nothing, just some insignificant little opinions on the Internet." Tan Ling tried to downplay the incident.
He Hui raised her eyebrows. Her intuition told her that this matter must not be that simple. But Tan Ling's annoyed look in front of her prevented her from asking again.
"Really? Then there's nothing to see. Let's go back first."
He Hui's words made Tan Ling feel relieved. She quickly took her hand and walked out of the venue together.
"Yeah, there's nothing good to see!" Tan Ling walked with He Hui all the way, fearing that she would suddenly take out her cell phone and check Weibo.
He Hui smiled slightly and changed the subject casually, and the two chatted all the way back to the hotel.
It was not until he returned to his room that He Hui casually opened the Weibo interface and entered his name.
Scrolling through the blog post casually, He Hui quickly understood why Tan Ling hesitated to speak.
"I didn't endorse because of some scandal? Is the He family going to be exposed for tax evasion?" He Hui read the false charges one by one, raised his eyelids and snorted, "How boring."
He Hui felt nothing inside and even wanted to laugh.
These groundless speculations from netizens did not cause even the slightest ripple in her mind, let alone affect her performance in the game.
He Hui carefully did a few sets of simple strength and stretching exercises in the room, then washed up and went to bed early.
Continuous combat places high demands on physical fitness, and sleep must be ensured.

When He Hui and Tan Ling returned to the hotel, Lu Yanfeng and Lu Xing, who came to watch He Hui's game, were stopped outside the gymnasium by tabloid reporters who heard the news.
The reporter was recording the video with his mobile phone in his hand, and the wireless microphone was pointed directly at Lu Yanfeng's face. The tone of his voice was quite bad, and it was as aggressive as a machine gun.
"Is the Ho Group facing any financial problems recently? Netizens suspect that the Ho Group may have engaged in illegal activities such as tax evasion. Can you respond?"
The questions asked had nothing to do with He Hui, but were directed at the He Group behind her, and his intention to stir up trouble was obvious.
Lu Yanfeng rarely encountered such unreasonable interviews. He couldn't help but take two steps back, feeling a little scared.
"For any issues regarding the He Group, you can consult the group directly." Lu Yanfeng forced a polite smile, nodded at the reporter, held Lu Xing's hand tightly and prepared to leave.
But who would have thought that the reporter had no intention of letting go of the so-called explosive news and simply stretched out his arms to block the two men's way.
"Excuse me, are you feeling guilty? How long has the He Group's illegal activities been going on?" His question implied that the He Group had violated the law and was full of traps.
Although Lu Xing is young, he often deals with reporters because of design competitions and other reasons.
But this was the first time she had seen such an unreasonable reporter.
Lu Xing ignored Lu Yanfeng's obstruction, walked in front of his mother, and directly questioned the reporter: "Which media are you from? Why are you talking nonsense here?!"
The advantage of children saying this is that it can both repel people and, because children are at an age when they can speak without restraint, they won't have any social burden.
Completely different from He Hui who rarely checks social media, Lu Xing is a heavy mobile phone and Internet user.
So, when the reporter asked the first question, she vaguely guessed that it was related to the controversy surrounding her sister recently.
She looked up with a cold face and said to the reporter: "If you want to talk about why He Hui, as the number one female singles player, does not have any endorsements."
The reporter paused holding the microphone, as he did not expect that a little kid would perfectly expose his original question.
Lu Xing snorted coldly, he guessed it right.
She took a deep breath and continued, "Is it possible that my sister doesn't care whether she has an endorsement or not? It is precisely because there is no problem with the operation of the He Group that she has the confidence to do anything."
The smart little Lu Xing directly rebuked the reporter, leaving him speechless.
Lu Yanfeng also realized that the reporter's real purpose was not good, so he pulled Lu Xing back to his side and said to the reporter seriously: "I don't know why you believe these nonsense. If you continue to spread rumors, the He Group's legal department will protect its own rights and interests according to the law."
“That’s right, you’d better not write or report nonsense!” Lu Xing made a face at the reporter.
Seeing that there was no way to move forward, the reporter sneered and left in shame.
Lu Xing looked at his back and said to Lu Yanfeng, "Mom, you should contact the legal department of our He Group. Recently, my sister's decision not to accept the endorsement has given rise to a lot of inexplicable rumors."
Lu Yanfeng nodded: "Don't worry, I'll ask them to investigate and they will definitely not let your sister get hurt."
"Yeah!" Lu Xing's eyes sparkled.
Lu Yanfeng touched Lu Xing's furry head. She thought that although the two sisters were always harsh in their words, they actually cared about each other very much.
After returning to the hotel, Lu Yanfeng called He Jianmu.
Lu Yanfeng and He Jianmu rarely go on social media, and they both feel very guilty about what has happened.
"Don't worry, I'll contact the legal department right away." He Jianmu sighed, "It's because I don't pay enough attention to public opinion that this matter has become more and more serious!"

The next day, before the free skating began, the official blue V account of the He Group issued a statement with the official seal, saying that it was collecting evidence for the recent rumors on the Internet and hoped that netizens would immediately stop spreading false information.
This efficiency is amazing.
Today, Tan Ling finally didn't look as gloomy as she did yesterday. She excitedly showed He Hui her Weibo.
"Look, look, the He Group has issued a statement!" Tan Ling even forgot that she hadn't told He Hui what happened on the Internet yesterday. "I said these people are talking nonsense!"
Tan Ling's very down-to-earth words made He Hui burst out laughing. She nodded: "It's true that you are farting!"
"Hehe, your legal department is so strong, you will definitely teach those who spread rumors a lesson!" Tan Ling smiled brightly, "He Hui, just go ahead and compete without worry!"
"good."
He Hui's free skating appearance order will be after Anna and Miranda, so she can first observe the performance of her biggest opponent in this game.
When everyone thought that everything was moving forward as planned, Anna's performance once again cast a veil of uncertainty over the unpredictable women's singles situation.
"Is she... 4S?!" Tan Ling exclaimed, like a bomb that exploded instantly in the quiet backstage.
"Yes..." He Hui's heart was beating very fast for some reason.
Anna clearly did not reveal during the sixth practice that she was going to use the 4S, but at the beginning of the free skating, she used it directly.
Tan Ling pouted: "It's just this week number, I feel there is something wrong, right?"
"A little bit."
Despite this, He Hui still had more concerns about Anna's bold action.
Obviously, under the instigation of this butterfly, many situations have become completely different from those in the previous life.
He Hui's memory of Sochi is vague.
The only thing she remembers now is that the scoring of the Sochi figure skating event was criticized by some people.
In the women's singles, with only Tours in 3A, the competition for silver and bronze medals was the main focus. Even so, Eriko Sanada, who was in great form at the time, only finished third, and the second place was a host player. According to the current situation, it is likely to be Anna or Diana.
And now Anna is following He Hui in attempting the four-week race, which means there may be more coincidences and accidents in Sochi.
He Hui's eyes were dark and difficult to read.
Lin Xiaoman saw Anna's bold move, and she was a little worried that He Hui's mentality would be affected. But what Lin Xiaoman was most worried about was that He Hui would not play by the rules and would directly make things difficult after being provoked.
"It's okay, just follow your plan and don't be impulsive and add 4Lz."
"Anna's 4S is very obvious. You can win the championship without 4Lz." Lin Xiaoman knew that He Hui cared most about victory, so she tried to persuade him again.
He Hui thought for a moment and finally nodded.
It's not that she is unwilling to take risks, but she still has doubts about the current success rate of 4Lz entering the set. With not many games left, she needs more clean sets to stabilize her already fragile program content points.
“But I will not give up on adding the quadruple lutz to the free skate.” He Hui said, with a firm and confident tone, “I want the referee to have no room for maneuver.”
