Chapter 113: Chapter 112: Finish Early, Don’t Waste Time
“Grandpa Lin will be really saddened and distressed if you guys lose.”
Su Niannian and the others: !
That statement was both cruel and accurate!
They simply followed what Chi Gui had said, picturing the kind and patient grandfather, who had been attentively guiding them, looking sad and distressed. Instantly, they felt an overwhelming pressure and motivation surge within them!
They absolutely couldn’t let down Principal Lin’s trust and efforts!!
Su Niannian slammed the desk forcefully, “Let’s give it our all!”
After speaking, she suddenly realized something, “Sister Chi, why is it only if we lose? What about you?”
Chi Gui was quite calm, “I’m waiting to win by lying down.”
Su Niannian and the others: ??
The pressure felt even greater now.
The intramural competition began at nine in the morning and lasted until six in the evening.
There were ten arenas set up, competing in groups according to different departments, and the order was determined by the team captains drawing lots. Each arena had five judges.
Even so, it would take at least two days for the entire school to finish competing.
Chi Yan came out of the room where the drawing was taking place and showed the others the number they had drawn.
Kong Wen breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “Chi Yan, you sure are lucky! We’re in the middle, we can learn from the mistakes of those before us, and we won’t have the pressure of those going later.”
Out of 180 groups in the whole school, many people gave up directly due to feeling incapable.
Su Qing’s expression also eased somewhat.
While they were talking, Chi Gui, with a casual demeanor, also came out holding a number plate.
Chi Yan saw her and asked with concern, “Sister, what position is your group in?”
Chi Gui paused, looked down at the number plate, “Second.”
Su Qing noticed her behavior and frowned slightly.
Everyone else eagerly checked their numbers right after drawing, but she waited until someone asked her. She didn’t seem to care at all!
Su Niannian and the others also came over and upon hearing Chi Gui’s words, suddenly felt nervous, “So close to the front?”
“Yes,” Chi Gui handed the number plate to Su Niannian, “It’s good, we finish earlier and it doesn’t waste time.”
Su Niannian and the others: …
After they left, Kong Wen spoke up, somewhat puzzled, “Does Chi Gui not realize that competing earlier is a disadvantage?”
“Maybe they also recognize that they are the type to focus on participating,” Jiang Nuan said with a laugh.
She was the lucky one who had managed to get into Chi Yan’s group, and she usually looked down on those with poor academic performance in class.
Chi Yan just smiled and said nothing else, “Let’s go, we need to prepare for the competition.”
Chi Gui’s group was among the first to compete in the morning.
The intramural competition process was simple, ranking each group according to their total scores and allowing the top two to participate in the provincial competition, a final verdict.
When Su Niannian came out, her legs were still a bit weak, “Did I perform well? Did I hold us back?”
Chu Jia and Yi Rui were also quite nervous.
However, Chi Gui was the calmest in the competition arena, aside from answering a few inconsequential questions during the theory defense, she virtually slacked in the practical part and didn’t linger for a second longer after the exam; she immediately left the school to watch a rally race. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel-fire.ɴet
Chu Jia and Yi Rui were somewhat displeased about this and couldn’t help but share with Su Niannian, “Nian Nian, Chi Gui really trusts our capability too much, right? Others have four people, and we’re effectively three… What if we lose?”
Su Niannian also felt uncertain, “If we lose, then we lose… Having received guidance from Principal Lin, we’ve still gained something.”
Chu Jia and Yi Rui immediately felt more balanced in their minds.
Regardless of the outcome, they would still have to thank Chi Gui.
After Chi Gui left the school, she received a message from Chi Mingkun.
He knew very well that if he called, Chi Gui definitely wouldn’t answer, so he sent a text message directly: [Sister, the issue with the Zhang Family is resolved, you don’t need to come.]
Chi Mingkun had already typed a full screen of text, just waiting for Chi Gui to ask so he could explain in detail what exactly happened with the Zhang Family.
But to his surprise, Chi Gui only replied with a “Mm”…
