Thinking about this made them feel frustrated again.
Ke Meiyu stood up and said with a smile, "You have worked very hard this past month. As long as you have completed the tasks I assigned you, you should not be afraid of this competition. You must remember that the result of the competition is not important, but the process is."
"You can gain experience, hone your courage, and improve your adaptability. As long as you improve, participating in the competition will not have been in vain!"
Everyone rallied their spirits.
That night, Ke Meiyu sent a ladybug made of a talisman to the girls' dormitory.
The ladybug quickly found the president and quietly stayed on the balcony watching.
The president was holding a manuscript and reciting it quietly, while the girls in her dormitory and several neighboring dormitories were also holding manuscripts and reciting them.
They weren't reciting any of the Chinese solar terms, but rather the beautiful landscapes and historical sites of China!
Just as the group members said at the meeting, each of them prepared different content for their speeches.
To be precise, they deliberately avoided similarities to prevent others from accusing them of cheating. With ample time, they sought out others or consulted books, incorporating clever ideas, and practiced reciting and rehearsing several times. Naturally, they were able to achieve excellent results in the official competition.
Ke Meiyu's eyes lit up. The day before the competition, she found the questions locked in the metal cabinet, took them out and saw that they were exactly as she had guessed.
She used a printer from the system store to age the topic and replaced it. The topic was still quite challenging, but it was also relevant to daily life and fit the environment of a foreign language speech on campus.
The next day was Saturday. Although the concept of a two-day weekend didn't exist in China at that time, university students had heavy coursework during the week, but Saturdays were usually a time of relaxation and activity for various clubs.
The president was certain she would lose the contest because the foreign language speech competition was heavily promoted. Not only were school leaders invited, but people from the provincial foreign language association and newspaper reporters were also present.
These important figures occupied two rows of seats, while only two groups remained unaware.
Groups 1 and 3 were dressed in formal attire. The male students wore either suits or brightly colored Zhongshan suits, while the female students wore elegant dresses, making Group 2, who were only wearing school uniforms, look rather dull in comparison.
In competitions, especially speech contests like this, the first impression is crucial; as the saying goes, clothes make the man and a saddle makes the horse.
When you're dressed well, you exude confidence and presence.
"Aren't you participating in the competition?" Seeing Ke Meiyu dressed casually—a pink knitted vest, a white V-neck shirt, black tapered pants, and her hair tied in a bun—she looked pretty and full of energy.
The president asked calmly, but inwardly he breathed a long sigh of relief, "You should know that entrusting your fate to others is the most foolish thing to do."
"Or do you think you're so capable that you can train a champion just by holding a foreign language corner for a month and broadcasting every day?"
Ke Meiyu laughed and crossed her arms, saying, "I'm not stupid. Let everyone compete in the school's speech contest; I'll just participate in the provincial one. Besides, even if I lose our agreement, I won't suffer any loss. At worst, I can just not join the foreign language association."
"But you, President, are putting too much pressure on me. If the students who signed up through our second group are too good and meet both of your conditions, then I'll have to move out."
After she finished speaking, Wang Xueying's face turned ashen.
Indeed, I was only thinking about kicking him out and not allowing him to stand out in the Foreign Language Association. Without thinking, I put myself in the position of president.
In a short while, Wang Xueying's complexion returned to normal, and she smiled faintly, saying, "I believe that opportunity favors the prepared, and our group's results will definitely still be among the best."
As long as Ke Meiyu doesn't participate, she has no one to fear and doesn't need to worry about losing her position as president.
As soon as everyone left, Ke Meiyu smiled like a little fox.
Qin Yuanjiu narrowed his eyes slightly and pressed his tongue against his cheek. He had been too inconspicuous lately, and it seemed that his prey had lowered its guard. Could he take it a step further?
Just as the president and others were secretly pleased with themselves and confident of victory, the person who set the questions was the vice president of the provincial association.
Wearing black-rimmed glasses and sporting a protruding belly, he smiled and waved the brown paper bag in his hand, saying something to demonstrate the seriousness and fairness of the competition.
When he opened the bag and saw the questions on it, his expression froze, and he couldn't help but glance at Wang Xueying.
The latter nodded secretly.
Therefore, the vice president read it out solemnly yet passionately.
Upon hearing the unusual topic, the group members nearly jumped up. They exchanged flustered glances and looked at the stunned president.
The person on stage announced the rules with a smile: "Now that you know the content of the competition, the rules are very simple. You have one hour to brainstorm and create. When the time is up, hand in your answer sheet. Then, according to the order of the competition, you can only get the answer sheet half an hour before going on stage to memorize it..."
The auditorium is very large, with several long rows of tables and chairs under the high audience seats, which are usually used for competitions, lectures, and so on.
All the contestants were in place, and after receiving their answer sheets, they began to work on their answers.
Members of Groups 1 and 3 were forbidden from participating in the foreign language corner organized by Group 2. Their knowledge came from class and targeted research in the library. However, the members of Group 2 learned a wide variety of things, memorizing a large number of words and sentences every day, many of which became universal templates for writing essays.
This is exactly the time to put it to use.
Writing and memorizing on the spot was extremely difficult for Group 1 and Group 3 members who were completely unprepared for their disrupted rhythm.
The second group performed exceptionally well, surpassing previous performances and even rivaling those in provincial competitions, earning high praise from the guests.
