Rebirth in the 90s: A Perfect Life

161-170

Chapter 161
The son of a high-ranking official

There was no need to draw lots for numbers this time. All nine participating teams were marked with their high schools. As the city's golden signboard, the No. 1 Middle School Team was the default C position. It was very conspicuous and could clearly see the audience seats. Xiaoyue saw Cao Juan and sat next to Zhao Lei and Song Gang. She didn't know if Cao Juan sensed her gaze, but waved to her.

Song Gang couldn't help but said, "The game is about to start, so stop making trouble."

Cao Juan was unhappy: "I just said hello to Xiaoyue, why did you make trouble?"

Song Gang: "Today, all the city leaders are here, and I just saw the famous Professor Wang. I heard that he is a judge today. You should know that he is not only a university professor and a well-known scholar, but also a calligrapher. My father admires him the most and dreams of having a piece of his calligraphy. Unfortunately, he has been focusing on traditional poetry and culture research in recent years and has rarely written, so his calligraphy is even more difficult to find. I didn't expect that our city's competition would invite him to be a judge. It makes me very nervous."

Cao Juan asked doubtfully, "Why are you so nervous if you're not competing?"

Zhao Lei next to him said, "He is nervous for the stage, and is afraid that your greeting will affect Su Xiaoyue's performance."

Cao Juan snorted, "If Xiaoyue were you, she would be nervous, but it's hard to say for others."

Zhao Lei and Song Gang both knew who she was talking about, so they didn't respond at all to avoid her endless complaints about Yang Rui and Cui Ying. These three were simply enemies from their previous lives.

However, Cao Juan really overestimated Xiaoyue. Even though Xiaoyue was mentally mature, she still couldn't help being nervous when facing a cultural giant like Professor Wang, especially since she knew how famous he would be in the future. Although he is already very famous now, he is only well-known within the circle due to the limitations of his communication channels. But later, with the advent of the Internet age, he became very popular and almost known to everyone. Later, he became the president of a top university, a true vice-ministerial leader.

Which ordinary person would not be nervous when facing such a big leader? Xiaoyue suddenly realized that the opportunity that Teacher Cao was talking about might be this person.

But Xiaoyue doesn't think that with this person's high status, he should not look at someone differently just because of his good performance. In that case, why should you be nervous? You originally participated in the poetry competition just to force yourself to do something, and it's good enough that you can make it this far. Xiaoyue believes that in addition to ability, luck accounts for a large proportion. Whether you can advance to the national finals also depends on luck. After all, our great China has a long history of 5,000 years, and the poetry culture has been passed down for a long time. Even if you have a photographic memory, it is impossible for you to know all the poems. Moreover, those present this time have all won through rounds of competition. To put it bluntly, none of the nine groups present are free. Whether they have a large number of poems or cultural heritage, they are all very impressive. Even if their group advanced as the first, they don't have much advantage.

Because it has been screened several times, the difficulty of the questions will definitely increase. After all, if everyone's level is similar, if we still test those popular poems, it is impossible to tell who is better. Maybe the question like the last time about the King of Chu's thin waist and how many people starved to death in the palace will appear again.

Just as he was thinking, Ye Mo whispered, "Applause."

Xiaoyue came back to her senses then and found that the leaders and judges had entered the venue. She hurriedly followed everyone in applauding. Then the host introduced the leaders and judges on the judges' panel one by one. There were three judges in total. Xiaoyue was quite familiar with the first one. After all, she often saw him on TV news. He was the deputy mayor of this city. When he first took office, he was very popular among the citizens because of his handsome appearance and elegant temperament. It can be seen that everyone looks at the appearance, and the city leaders are the same. But he is still young. After all, it is not common to be a city leader in his early forties. What's even more rare is that this deputy mayor has the temperament of a scholar. Sitting there in a suit and tie, he is definitely the male protagonist in the high-ranking official article.
