In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

"I actually gained quite a lot from this trip to Qijia Town."

Perhaps, this will be a pleasant surprise for Director Zeng.

During their conversation, Li Yuan spoke about his confidence.

Seeing Zeng Ju's state, Li Yuan wanted to offer him some comfort, or rather, to give him some confidence.

Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Zeng Chang simply smiled.

"Just show your best side, don't worry about my side."

Even if Jin Fan doesn't join Chishan City, the pressure of this year's Youth Martial Arts Tournament is still immense.

There is a special development fund for the southeast region, totaling 12 billion yuan.

Each city is putting in its best effort to compete for a ranking.

The talents that were previously kept hidden have all been sent out this time.

The requirement I gave you before was to strive for a place in the top 30, which is already a very difficult requirement.

Not to mention the troubles we're facing right now, which can't be solved by just thirty people.

Director Zeng's words contained further details.

To give him confidence and resolve his predicament, Li Yuan had to defeat Jin Fan.

This step is more than ten times harder than breaking into the top thirty.

After a brief pause, Director Zeng didn't say anything more.

Then he turned to talk about the situation at Lingshan No.1 Middle School.

"I heard that you went to Lingshan No.1 Middle School yesterday to answer students' questions?"

"After all this time, and with the Qingwu Competition just around the corner, I'll help the students clear up their doubts."

Li Yuan spoke up to explain, not thinking it was a big deal.

Upon hearing this, Director Zeng patted Li Yuan on the shoulder with approval.

"I have always believed that everyone involved in education must have professional ethics."

Many people see the teaching profession as a stepping stone to advancement.

Teaching work, on the other hand, took a backseat.

After the Qingwu Tournament, I will likely be demoted to serve as the principal of Lingshan No. 2 Middle School.

If I have the chance, I'd like to take you with me.

It's clear that Zeng Chang genuinely admires Li Yuan.

He didn't blame Qingwu for the incident; in fact, he wanted to recruit him as his subordinate.

The deputy director of the municipal education bureau was demoted to the position of principal at Lingshan No. 2 Middle School, which is a clear sign of a reduction in his power.

The area under the deputy director's jurisdiction is much wider than that of Lingshan No. 2 Middle School.

Lingshan No. 2 Middle School is small, almost half the size of Lingshan No. 1 Middle School.

The average student performance in the city is also significantly lower than that of No. 1 Middle School.

This is the consequence of failing in a power struggle.

"Take this Qingwu Competition seriously; perhaps your students will have the opportunity to participate in it in the future."

The experience you share with them might prove to be of great help.

While the two were talking, almost all the other martial arts participants from Lingshan City arrived.

The warriors from each unit were equipped with their own various gear, and they looked very professional.

Li Yuan didn't even bring any weapons with him on this trip; he'll borrow the standard weapons from the organizing committee later.

The warriors from other units did not come alone.

There were also people sent by my workplace to help out and solve some trivial matters.

It was almost time, so Zeng Chang gathered everyone together and took attendance.

Lingshan City has twelve martial arts participants this time.

The Qingwu Competition only records the scores of ten participants from each city, so the scores of two participants will be ignored.

These two are forgiving; it doesn't matter if they are eliminated in the Qingwu Tournament.

Soon, the twelve martial artists gathered in the middle of the stadium.

The twelve people lined up in a row, and Director Zeng began to call out the names.

"Water Resources Bureau, Ma Qi."

"arrive."

"Transportation Bureau, Liang Jin."

"arrive."

......

With twelve people, how much time could it take to call out names? Li Yuan was called out very quickly.

As soon as the word "arrived" was spoken, everyone around turned their attention to it.

Everyone had heard of Li Yuan.

But this was the first time Li Yuan had seen what he looked like.

"So you're Li Yuan from Lingshan No.1 Middle School. You seem to have a really good attitude."

Despite so many people criticizing it in Lingshan City, they still participated in the Qingwu Tournament.

The one speaking was Ma Qi from the Water Resources Bureau.

No one else around responded.

But their facial expressions conveyed their attitude to everyone around them.

They are clearly on Ma Qi's side.

"All the tactics we had planned before have now fallen apart because of your nonsense."

They even forced Jin Fan to go to Chishan City, without considering the interests of Lingshan City.

"You only care about your own interests, sacrificing the interests of millions of citizens."

Upon hearing Ma Qi's words, Li Yuan immediately retorted without holding back.

"If you can consider the interests of millions of citizens, you can give up your competition qualification to Jin Fan."

What?

"Are you just going to be generous with other people's money and give up my qualification?"

Most of the time, adults need to maintain a certain level of decorum.

But there are so many people in this world, and there are always some who say really nasty things.

If they don't want this dignity, then there's no need to preserve it.

For example, right now, Li Yuan is showing him absolutely no respect.

Ma Qi never expected that Li Yuan, who was criticized by so many people, would dare to respond like this.

"Jin Fan and I don't work for the same company, so transferring the qualification isn't that easy."

Ma Qi casually made up an excuse.

But the reason he gave was simply too flimsy.

"Jin Fan did not work in Chishan City, yet he was still able to obtain the qualification to participate in the competition in Chishan City."

You and him are just from different units.

Is it really harder to do than operating across cities?

Li Yuan's series of questions left Ma Qi speechless.

Everyone naturally hoped that Lingshan City could achieve good results in the Qingwu Competition.

But this good result cannot be obtained at the cost of their sacrifice.

Participating in the Qingwu Tournament will earn you at least thirty bottles of Grade B nutrient solution.

If you achieve some results, you can get even more rewards.

In addition, there is reputation and fame.

The results of the Qingwu Competition serve as a basis for martial artists to participate in future training and take on important tasks.

Why should others believe you? Show me your results from the Qingwu Competition, and that will be proof enough.

Ma Qi isn't stupid; he worked so hard to get this competition qualification, why would he give it up?

The other contestants and helpers around them fell silent for a moment.

Li Yuan's retort this time left Ma Qi completely speechless.

He thought Li Yuan was the kind of dull-witted person.

I never expected that just a few words would embarrass him so much.

At the same time, Director Zeng, the team leader, spoke up.

"The participants have all been decided, and there's no way to change them now."

Some things are better left unsaid.

Also, don't bring up the tactics we've already devised.

This year's Qingwu Tournament explicitly prohibits collusion to give away points.

Once you enter the competition area, your final result depends entirely on yourself.

After giving these instructions, Deputy Director Zeng Chang led everyone to the competition area of ​​the Qingwu Tournament.

The location for the martial arts competition in the southeast region is not fixed.

Typically, an area the size of a town would be ceded at the border.

Leave a month or two free to allow ferocious beasts to enter this place.

Before the start of the Qingwu Tournament, the border was sealed off, allowing the participating martial artists to enter.

Within this region, the final ranking is determined by the number and quality of ferocious beasts slain.
