Chapter 607 Challenge
In order to ensure the fairness of the challenge, the Ministry of Education official responsible for hosting the competition was neither from Lingnan City nor Pingcheng City, but was transferred from other places.
But they were not too far away, and they arrived by train early in the morning.
Tang Dewang arranged for them to have a meal in the school cafeteria, during which they also talked about the upcoming challenge.
"Nonsense, I think Houde's new principal named Ma is just fooling around!"
Tang Dewang blew his beard and glared, "Who doesn't know how virtuous he is in these years? He can come back to life overnight just because he has a new principal?!
"It's not that I look down on them, we are all engaged in education, education, teaching and educating people. Whether it is teaching or educating people, there is no rush for either. In just a few years or more, what achievements can be made?"< br>
Among them, the older Ministry of Education officials did not answer the call, but just lowered their heads and ate the tofu pudding in their bowls.
The young one immediately echoed, "Yes, yes, yes, our Minister Gong often says that education is something that benefits the present and will benefit the future. As expected, heroes see the same thing."
"Hey, don't you dare, how can I be compared with Minister Gong." Tang Dewang waved his hands quickly, but there was a hint of pride on his face.
After that, Principal Tang complained for a while that Principal Ma was looking for trouble, tormenting everyone, and increasing the workload of the Ministry of Education.
The older official of the Ministry of Education remained calm, and the young official only chatted with Tang Dewang.
After the two of them finished eating, the teachers and students of Houde finally arrived.
They dispatched a total of 16 people this time, including 11 students, 3 faculty members, and 2... reporters.
He also brought reporters with him to challenge him. This move made Tang Dewang's impression of Malu even worse.
Originally, we planned to treat them to breakfast, but now they were only served a few cups of cold tea.
As a result, a young teacher wearing military boots opened his eyes and shouted to the students who were about to receive tea.
"You are not allowed to drink. Have you forgotten what I said before? When you leave school, you can only eat what you brought and drink water from the kettle."
"Huh, use the belly of a villain to win the heart of a gentleman!"
When Tang Dewang heard this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "Is it necessary to use these despicable methods to deal with a mere virtuous old man?"
The young official from the Ministry of Education was also a little angry after hearing this, "With us watching the scene, how could someone tamper with the food?"
"Old Li, this is your fault." Ma Lu also turned around and said, "Our Principal Tang is a decent man. Even if he loses, he still loses standing. He will definitely not do such immoral things. Everyone should eat and drink. Drink.”
Hearing Ma Lu's words, Tang Dewang's face turned even darker, and he didn't bother to pretend to be polite to the other person, so he said directly.
"Now that you're here, let's compete quickly. After the competition, go back to where you came from."
The older official from the Ministry of Education looked at Malu when he heard this, and Malu said, "I have no objection."
"Okay," I am Jiang Guangtian from the Yangcheng Education Bureau, and this is my colleague Chang Qing," the older Ministry of Education official pointed at the young Ministry of Education official.
"According to the arrangements from our superiors, the two of us are here to make this challenge fair. The challenger is Houde Fushi School, ranked 167th among universities. The challenged party is Church Lingnan Education College, ranked 157th among universities.
"The challenge application was sent to the challenged party a week ago and was submitted to the local education bureau for review and approval. It was approved to comply with the challenge conditions.
"If the challenge succeeds, the rankings of both parties will be exchanged. If the challenge fails, the rankings will remain unchanged. Can the two principals have any objections?"
"No." Malu said immediately. "Me neither." Tang Dewang also said, but after he finished speaking, he muttered, "This is too unfair. There is no benefit if you win, and you will lose your ranking if you lose."
Jiang Guangtian heard what he said and patiently explained, "The Ministry of Education has actually noticed the problem you reported, Principal Tang, and will introduce supplementary provisions in the near future. However, there is indeed no penalty for failure to challenge at this stage."
Tang Dewang's heart moved, thinking that it seemed like he had to move faster if he wanted to improve his ranking, so he took action quickly before the supplementary terms came out.
His mind had already flown to the next game, and as for Houde, he didn't take it to heart at all.
Jiang Guangtian continued, "According to the rules, the first individual battle is held. There are five rounds of individual battles. The winner of each round can get one point. Each student can only participate in one individual battle.
"After the individual battle is the team battle. Five people need to appear in the team battle at the same time. Students participating in the individual battle can also participate in the team battle. The winner of the team battle will get three points.
"You two need to prepare the list of participants and the order of appearance before the game starts.
"The side with more points after the game wins. If the points are the same, it will be counted as the challenger's failure, and the school's ranking will remain unchanged."
After Jiang Guangtian finished speaking, he looked at the two principals and said, "I emphasize again that the challenge can only send students from each school to compete, regardless of grade. I will also record and keep the names and signatures of the participants here, and also leave photos. As evidence.
"Once fraud is discovered, not only will the challenging party be immediately judged as the loser, but also they will not be allowed to apply to challenge other schools for the next three years. Do you remember this?"
Tang Dewang raised his head and glanced at the sky, a look of impatience flashed across his face, but he still said patiently, "I know, let's get started."
Ma Lu also said righteously, "I, Ma, have acted openly and aboveboard throughout my life. I not only want to win, but I also want to win with dignity!"
Lu Yingying on the side became starry-eyed again, and quickly took out her notebook to write down these words, intending to use them as the title of the interview.
After that, the two sides began to select participants.
Tang Dewang had already asked his secretary to prepare a playing list in advance. He investigated Houde and found that there were no talents worth paying attention to, and he was completely relieved.
For the individual competition, several top students with outstanding fighting abilities were selected and arranged in random order. For the group competition, Tang Dewang replaced three of them and added three more to match Luo Hengyi.
Anyway, in Principal Tang's opinion, as long as he takes out the invincible Luo Hengyi and puts it here, his virtue will be gone.
Because no conspiracy or trick can make up for the gap in strength.
Malu, on the other hand, was not in a hurry to choose someone. After Lingnan's list was released, he first activated the [Peeping] skill and chose Luo Hengyi as his target.
After discovering that Luo Hengyi was ranked last in the individual battle, Ma Lu and Li Zhengwei calmly determined Houde's playing list.
After both parties submitted their lists, and after Jiang Guangtian verified that they were correct, the first-round contestants were announced.
"The first game, Lingnan, third grader Gao Zhiqiang versus Houde, second grader Yu Zimei."
On Lingnan's side, a tall and powerful boy walked out of the crowd, while on Houde's side, it was a short girl wearing glasses.
She seemed a little nervous. When she stepped forward to sign, she stumbled over her left foot and almost fell down. Gao Zhiqiang caught her in time.
Tang Dewang felt that this was a sure thing.
