<h4>Chapter 466: 3/20 Will Make it to the Next Round</h4>
For Qi Yuefeng toe to the capital to visit her, of course, she felt very happy about it.
“But I’m scared it’ll be troublesome. Don’t you two have school? Also, I heard from your older brother that you might not necessarily get toe out every weekend.”
“Even if I don’te out, there’s Brother. You can take care of him. Moreover, I’m able to leave school on weekends. Mom, don’t worry. If you’ve made up your mind, give Brother a call. There’s nothing for you to do alone at home, anyway. So, why note to the capital to look for us?”
Gu Qingjiu encouraged Qi Yuefeng. Upon hearing this, Qi Yuefeng hesitated a little.
She did wish toe.
After hesitating for three seconds, Qi Yuefeng replied, “Then alright, I’ll see if I can book tomorrow’s flight tickets. If I don’t make it tomorrow I’ll arrive the day after.”
“Alright, I’ll call Brother. I have apetition in school this weekend and won’t be able toe out. You can look for Brother first.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the call, Gu Qingjiu felt rather excited at the thought of her mothering to the capital soon.
Thispetition was just a start.
She wanted to obtain victory and show her mother that one day her daughter would be able to make her proud.
...
On Thursday, the schoolwidepetitionmenced.
First, they had their school assembly as usual, where the various superiors went up to stage to talk.
After the assembly, thepetition formally began.
Gu Qingjiu’s shootingpetition was in the afternoon, and she was assigned to the first round ofpetition with the ten systems engineering department students, alongside nine other people from her specialization.
The Chief Management Department had sent the name lists to the students’ phones, and it was also posted on therge screen in the school. Also, the instructors would notify them.
There wasn’t a chance that one would forget about it.
Moreover, there weren’t any opportunities for do-overs in the preliminary round, for once a person got eliminated, they would be out for good.
Unlike the selections, where a person of strong capabilities might have a chance to redeem oneself if they identally lost.
That was why when the systems engineering folks found out they were up against Gu Qingjiu’s team, they nearly cried.
The twenty students began theirpetition, and the three with the highest points would emerge victoriously.
It was a chance in 3 out of 20. One could see that just the preliminary round was brutal enough.
After all, there were too many people.
The physical trainingpetition took ce in the morning, and Gu Qingjiu also went to take a look over there.
Frog jumps and long-distance running were the most basic events. The gist of it is the one who could persist and finish in the shortest time possible, would win thepetition.
Out of the four people in Gu Qingjiu’s dormitory, none of them took part in the physical trainingpetition.
Because the physical trainingpetition wasrgely a male-dominated game.
Thebatpetition would start after the shootingpetition in the afternoon and wouldst all the way until seven in the evening.
This was to allow those students who participated in more than one segment to have sufficient time to rest.
If in the morning some students took part in the physical trainingpetition and had to go for thebat and shooting segments in the afternoon, it was actually a little disadvantageous to them.
But since the school made this arrangement, there was nothing they could do about it.
The shootingpetition in the afternoon was about to formally begin. The students in Gu Qingjiu’s specialization helped her change into apetition outfit, and she came to thepetition venue to prepare.
All of thepetition venues were held outdoors because indoor venues wouldn’t be big enough to contain so many people.
All of thepetitions took ce in the sports field—thergest venue on campus. The specialization buildings nearby were all filled with people.
Everywhere one went, they would see a sea of people, just like how it was in the peak Spring Festival travel season.
Moreover, it was the same patch of military green everywhere, and it made one feel giddy if one were to stare at this for long.
The systems engineering students up against Gu Qingjiu’s team hade over. They were looking at Gu Qingjiu and pointing at her, a look of unease on each of their faces.
Because they didn’t know if they would be 2/3 of the lucky ones; after all, 1/3 of the spots had already been upied by Gu Qingjiu.
