Chapter 118 Unfair Competition Rules
After flying for more than ten hours, Ruan Qingge and his team successfully arrived at the capital airport of the United States.
Someone came to pick him up at the airport. Weng Zhenping was quite familiar with the other person. After the greetings, Ruan Qingge got into the car.
Looking at the skyscrapers passing by, Ruan Qingge admitted that this international city was indeed more prosperous than the capital.
But there was no curiosity in her eyes. Weng Zhenping, who was sitting next to her, admired her calmness at her age.
Ruan Qingge and his group went directly to the Chinese government agency here, where they would stay and eat.
It's not far from the competition venue.
The staff were very enthusiastic. We didn’t expect such a young girl to participate in the competition this time.
It feels so familiar to chat in our hometown dialect.
Ruan Qingge observed their work and found it to be a bit boring.
But everyone had a decent smile on their face.
They all spoke fluent English and Ruan Qingge had no difficulty communicating with them.
Ruan Qingge understands many professional terms, and in some areas he is even ahead of the staff.
For example, Ruan Qingge has dabbled in some uncommon words.
She sometimes speaks quite humorously and the staff all like to chat with her.
In just one night, Ruan Qingge became familiar with these people.
She can call out everyone's name accurately, both the Chinese and English names.
Everyone was very impressed.
Seeing how versatile Ruan Qingge was, Si Yanzhao felt that he had really underestimated Ruan Qingge's vanity and competitive spirit.
She had a purpose, otherwise why would she get along so well with these staff members.
Jin Yuanbao was in the space, sensing Si Yanzhao's cold gaze, and knocked on Ruan Qingge's door: [That Si guy seems to look down on you]
Ruan Qingge: [Do you think I am too utilitarian and too close to the staff?]
Jin Yuanbao: [We are all from the same hometown, is it illegal to chat about hometown topics? ]
Ruan Qingge: [It’s not illegal, and didn’t you realize that these staff members were too enthusiastic? Guan Congwei was also caught by them and asked all kinds of questions]
Why does this seem to be a purpose for her?
Jin Yuanbao: [Men are also so petty]
Ruan Qingge: [Keep an eye on him for me when you have time]
Jin Yuanbao: [Leave it to me]
After adjusting to the jet lag, Ruan Qingge followed Weng Zhenping and others to familiarize themselves with the venue early the next morning.
There were already staff at the stadium, and teams from several countries were there.
Ruan Qingge did not act indifferent, but looked around carefully.
I also memorized the route I took to get on stage and the path I would take when I came down.
When she got back to where she lived, she practiced a few times by herself.
This was also the first time for Guan Congwei and Si Yanzhao to participate in such an international competition, so it would be a lie to say they were not nervous.
Therefore, after arriving at the competition venue, I familiarized myself with the environment very seriously.
The leading teacher went to the rostrum, found the organizer, asked about the relevant matters and requirements, received the information, and took Ruan Qingge and the others around twice before returning to their residence.
The three contestants were given the precautions for the competition, and their respective teachers explained them one by one.
Ruan Qingge took it and looked through it, word by word, very carefully.
Weng Zhenping had just received the competition rules, and as he was reading them, he said, "Student Ruan, let's take a look at them together. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask us. We can give feedback to the organizers before the competition starts."
After reading for about ten minutes, Ruan Qingge pointed to one of the sentences and showed it to Weng Zhenping: "Teacher Weng, I think there is ambiguity in this part."
Weng Zhenping also happened to see this, and after reading it carefully, he thought about it and his face turned bad: "Damn it, this is bullying!"
There actually is a trap.
These bastards use very tricky words!
This had to be considered in conjunction with the meaning of several paragraphs before and after. Weng Zhenping stood up suddenly and said, "I'll go find other teachers."
If Ruan Qingge hadn't noticed, then if they followed this rule during the competition, they would not have been able to get a ranking even if their speeches were excellent.
Who wrote these rules?
Your brain was caught in the door?
In that case, why bother sending them invitations? Can't you just visit a few English-speaking countries on your own?
In his previous life, Ruan Qingge liked to read various contracts, agreements, and rules, and was particularly good at finding faults.
The competition rules clearly state that participating teams will be scored as a group rather than based on individual performance, and that countries where English is the first language can get extra points.
It's quite unfair anyway.
I guess these people just want to use China as a foil. No, that's not right. They want to humiliate them.
Ruan Qingge held the competition rules, clenched them tightly in his hands, and was very angry.
Sensing her emotional fluctuations, Jin Yuanbao poked his head out of the space: [Hey, what's up? ]
When Ruan Qingge told him about his discovery, Jin Yuanbao also jumped up: [What, what kind of rule is this? If you have the guts, come and use your language. You know their language, but they don’t know your language.]
If only it were possible!
But they were unreasonable in the first place, so Ruan Qingge calmed down and read the competition rules carefully.
There are no pitfalls in other places, but this point is a big problem.
Even if Weng Zhenping gave feedback, the organizer would definitely not change it.
What do you mean by showing the style of contemporary college students? This is purely an attempt to humiliate Chinese students.
Ruan Qingge: [Unless you can get full marks in this competition, don’t even think about getting a ranking. As for the team, Guan Congwei is good, but I’m worried that Si Yanzhao’s mentality will explode.]
Jin Yuanbao was silent: [Do I have to win the prize? ]
Ruan Qingge: [Now that I’m here, I definitely can’t go back empty-handed]
Jin Yuanbao: [But can you influence the judges?]
It doesn't hurt at all for them to give scores against their conscience.
Ruan Qingge shook her head: [No]
But maybe she could mobilize the atmosphere at the competition site.
Weng Zhenping and the team leader went to find the organizer, and the organizer only replied: This is our competition venue. If you cannot accept the rules, you can withdraw from the competition.
Weng Zhenping and the teacher in charge were so angry that they almost died.
When Ruan Qingge saw Weng Zhenping's expression, he knew that negotiations would be of no use.
The air pressure was a little low. Guan Congwei and Si Yanzhao read the competition rules but did not notice the traps.
I was wondering why the teachers had such ugly expressions, they seemed very obedient.
After the teacher in charge pointed out the traps in the rules, Guan Congwei and Si Yanzhao were also very angry. This was definitely bullying them.
Weng Zhenping: "The official competition will begin tomorrow. They will definitely not change this rule. They will also look at the overall score of the group. English-speaking countries can get five extra points. Even if it's only one point, it will be difficult for us to get a high score if the judges have preconceived ideas."
Guan Congwei: "Teacher Weng, we won't give up."
He always has to stand on top, and think about other things after the results come out. It hasn't even started yet, and he won't give up.
Ruan Qingge: "Teacher Weng, I will continue the competition. Apart from anything else, I just want to let the people present see the elegance of our Chinese students. We represent the backbone of China and will never back down in the face of difficulties."
