Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Professor Zhu Mingzhang actually chose “Helping My Wife Win”.
The crowd started chattering.
The bear took a step forward.
He stood in front of Zhu Mingzhang and was quite close to him. He lowered his bear head and looked at him. “Are you sure?”
He was very intimidating, but unfortunately, his voice sounded like a minion!
Zhu Mingzhang was not frightened. He straightened his back and said firmly, “I’m sure!”
Su Ji raised her hand to her forehead.
She shook her head.
Why did you have to make things difficult, beloved student…
However, both “Helping My Wife Win” and “Worriless” were very strong.
Just like that, it was decided.
Zhu Mingzhang would be challenging “Helping My Wife Win”.
Worriless was in a group with another student of Su Ji’s.
At this point, there were a total of four groups, and each group had one of Su Ji’s students.
It looked like she had a high chance of winning.
However, if things went wrong, they might all be wiped out.
In fact, two of her students should be in a group. That way, it would seem like they were killing each other. However, when she thought about it carefully, no matter who won or lost, one of her students would definitely advance.
This was the best way to go about it. Su Ji knew it from the beginning, but it was unfair to her students.
Therefore, Su Ji did not interfere with the process of selection.
Let’s take it one step at a time.
After the host confirmed the group allocation, a sneer came from the side.
Everyone looked over at the same time. It was actually Worriless, who had been silent all this while.
Seeing that everyone had heard the sneer, he did not think much of it. He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said calmly and sarcastically, “is that a team uniform? You look so stupid.”
As soon as he said that, everyone’s attention turned to the person in each group who was wearing a white T-shirt with the words “Must Win” printed on it.
The crowd: ‘
It was one thing to mock others, but he even mocked Professor Zhu Mingzhang.
Even though they felt a little weird when they saw Professor Zhu Mingzhang wearing a T-shirt like that, he was still an elder after all. It was a little arrogant for Worriless to say that.
Su Ji’s students shared a common enemy and clenched their fists at the same time.
Zhu Mingzhang was older, after all, so he had to be calmer. His eyes signaled for everyone to take a step back. The competition was more important. Don’t embarrass their master.
Only then did the other three suppress the anger in their hearts.
Worriless scoffed and glanced at the people in the other groups who weren’t Su Ji’s students. “Good luck, everyone. I don’t want to see anyone in uniform in the third round.”‘
They were blatantly ostracizing them.
The students’ eyes were on fire.
Worriless finally looked at “Helping My Wife Win” and patted his arm as if he was talking to one of his own. “Good luck, Bear.”
In the next second, Pei Huai raised his hand and slapped his hand away.
Worriless froze.
“Don’t call me that, we are not close.”
The calligraphy competition, which was originally very zen, suddenly became tense. Everyone’s desire to win was aroused.
The host wanted to resolve the awkwardness, but he couldn’t think of anything to say. He laughed dryly and forced himself to go through the process. He began to announce the rules of the second round.
He pointed at the big screen behind him.
The big screen changed, and the rules of round two were displayed on it. After reading the content, Zhu Mingzhang’s expression immediately became uneasy.
[ “Second round: Small-character Calligraphy” ]
The staff brought out the eight sets of tools. It was different from the first round.
In this round, everyone was given a square paper that was five centimeters in length and width. It was made of a special material so that the ink would not smudge on it, making it easy to write small characters.
The following rules made all the contestants fall silent.
Everyone had to write an ancient poem of about 500 words on this five-centimeter-square piece of paper.
Moreover, everyone only had one piece of paper, which meant that there was only one chance. If they made a mistake, or if they found that they couldn’t fit everything in, they couldn’t rewrite it.
Based on the theme of the competition this year, the organizers chose an ancient poem from the Shang Dynasty, which was included in the scope of the Chinese college entrance examination three years ago, “Jiang He Wu”!
“Author: Zhou Zicheng.”
Su Ji narrowed her eyes.
She didn’t think he could write poetry. It was probably not anything amazing. It was actually used as a part of an examination.
The big screen switched again, and the full text of “Jiang He Wu” appeared.
Su Ji was too lazy to look at it and only glanced at it casually.
But then, she leaned forward and stared at the ancient text with a frown.
Her chest heaved, and her expression became colder and colder.
This…
..was clearly an article she wrote when she was drunk!
After her death, Zhou Zicheng, that thief, stole it and made it his own. He even gave it the name “Jiang He Wu”!
Pei Huai noticed her expression. A few seconds later, he looked back at the ancient text on the big screen.
Those who liked calligraphy were mostly artsy people.
The host asked everyone to express their views on this poem.
Zhu Mingzhang was knowledgeable and loved ancient literature. He liked this ancient prose very much.
Immediately after, the host asked the bear for his opinion. Pei Huai looked at the big screen and said calmly, “it’s not bad, but…”
“But what?” The host was very interested.
Pei Huai smiled. “But, it looks like it was written by a girl.”
Su Ji looked at the bear.
The judges laughed in disagreement.
Worriless shook his head. “How could a woman write such a bold and eloquent poem?”
“Why now? I would like to report this contestant for making a sexist remark!”
The judges who were nodding in agreement with Worriless’ comment were speechless.
At the same time, they stopped what they were doing and looked at each other guiltily. They cleared their throats. “Please mind your words.”
Worriless shrugged in disdain.
This year’s contestants were a little difficult to deal with. A staff member reminded the host through the earpiece to stop interviewing them and quickly start the competition!
The host did as he was told, and the atmosphere became tense.
All the contestants returned to their tables and looked at the piece of paper in front of them.
It was not an exaggeration to say that if a drop of ink accidentally dripped on the paper, a quarter of the paper would be unusable.
Usually, they had to use a special fine brush to write such small characters, but the organizer deliberately did not prepare it for them.
Therefore, the second round was testing the contestants’ wrist strength!!
