Even if he only loses one match, thereâs no guarantee that his opponent on the last day wonât restrain him, drag out the time, and prevent him from advancing to the next round.
So, he canât afford to lose again, losing would be very dangerous.
Li Shanchun doesnât even dare to take time off to eat now. In the cafeteria, he shovels food into his mouth, cheeks puffing up, squeezing every minute and second to hurry up for training.
Chef Li couldnât stand his sweaty, smelly appearance, and immediately gave him a towel, rubbed off his sweat, and complained, "Eat slowly, or Iâll hit you if you spray your food all over."
Su Xiaocai was eating fried chicken wings, silently pushing her plate aside.
"Uncle, you have to encourage me, the coach said I need to be inspired to improve, donât ruin the mood."
"Iâm wiping your sweat and yet you say Iâm ruining the mood." Chef Li muttered quietly, not commenting further.
The interaction between the uncle and niece was very warm and everyday.
Su Xiaocai missed Daddy Su a little.
As she was sighing, Wu Qingqing next to her tried to reach out for the fried chicken, Su Xiaocai quickly protected her food, "Go away, you ungrateful apprentice, Xiao Wanzi made it for me, nobody can eat it."
At this moment, the communicator rang. Yu Haoming sent a message, telling her that someone from the committee had arrived.
Oh no, canât protect her fried chicken anymore.
Wu Qingqing and Hu Pingâs invisible hands approached and each took a piece.
Su Xiaocai guessed it was about the friendship match list, "Do they really need to see me?"
"Yes."
Su Xiaocai pouted, finished the chicken wings, sucked the bones clean, shared the rest with them, and went to the office.
Entering the meeting room, Su Xiaocai saw two old men.
Elder Yi and an old man with the surname Qin.
Elder Yi came at this time, whatâs his intention?
Yu Haoming sat on the left side of the head position, Su Xiaocai gave Yu Haoming a sideways glance, youâre the president, why give the head position to her.
Yu Haoming: Since they specifically requested to see you, of course, Iâll defer to you as the boss.
The inattentive boss sat down, flipping through the meeting content Yu Haoming handed over.
As expected, it was about the list.
To play a friendship match, there needs to be available people.
There arenât many soldiers on vacation either, the opponents for the students canât hold too high a rank, but they also need to ensure they can win, itâs a headache for them.
The military provided a list of fifty personnel.
The committee provided the previous sessionâs top three players, and finally, some names of retired old Admirals.
"Why are the old veterans joining the fun, if they lose, will they complain to me?" Su Xiaocai joked.
The two old men both laughed, "Not really, just trying to fulfill the dream of the younger generation. You should know as well, our committee organized a vote on its own. The top fifty were provided by the military, playing against these people will surely bring significant improvement. But some believe friendship matches should be relaxed, so the top hundred players can play two matches..."
Then the conversation is left hanging.
Su Xiaocai finished their sentence, "So youâre here to ask me to also play in the friendship match?"
"Yes. Youâre way ahead of others in the vote."
Su Xiaocai: "Iâm not interested, whether I participate or not is meaningless."
"How can it be meaningless, encouraging nationwide sport. President Su, donât reject us, itâs our mistake, we stated in the vote that as long as the top ten most popular are voted, weâll try to include them in the list." Elder Yi said gently, "Our committee can offer you remuneration, what do you want?"
The room fell silent, as clever people, itâs inevitable to overthink.
Su Xiaocai pondered, Elder Yi from the Yi Family, could it be under the guise of the friendship match, to send her some things?
Hoping she wonât have a fallout with the Yi Family?
Any possibility exists, Su Xiaocai isnât particularly materialistic, but she doesnât like losing control while being strong.
"I can participate in the friendship match, your committee will provide merchandise for this competition, can you offer ten to twenty sets?"
Since itâs the result of a public opinion poll, Su Xiaocai couldnât be too harsh.
"Is that your only request?"
"Yes."
Thatâs too simple, Elder Yi was unsure of Su Xiaocaiâs attitude.
He came also with the intention to test Su Xiaocai.
A rising star with formidable momentum, the Yi Family has no intention to be enemies, someone from the Yi Family can become an Admiral, their vision shouldnât be that narrow.
After the games, Su Xiaocai will continue teaching the second batch of students.
From the feedback information of the first batch of students, itâs clear that Su Xiaocaiâs future achievements will reach heights ordinary people canât fathom.
Now sheâs already listed as the highest secret protection personnel by the nation, in the future, who knows, she might even dominate both the military and political realms with technology alone.
