Chapter 0006 Five Groups
There is still some time before departure, and everyone has been drawn to this unique competition, not to mention that the outcome of this contest will determine the ownership of the position of "team leader"
Gong Hui was not at all disturbed by Gu Yuan's provocative gaze. From the very first sentence, she read through without interruption, and before long, she had surpassed Gu Yuan, making fewer mistakes. In the end, she completed reading the entire excerpt.
... ...
If one were to be dominated by a woman upon just entering the special training class, the days ahead would likely be difficult
"It is best not to choose our group, as I foresee that this journey will not be smooth; women are too troublesome," said Man Cang, who appeared to be the oldest among the four, with a slight frown.
This group of four, including Luo Yao, quickly introduced themselves. Besides him and Liu Jinbao, there were two other individuals. One appeared to have dull skin, was not very tall, and was slender, giving off a sense of being quite thoughtful. He introduced himself as Gu Yuan, recommended by the Tianjin station of the Blue Shirt Society
"Old Luo, let me see, how many did you catch?" Liu Jinbao caught a number, without even looking, he first went to ask Luo Yao.
What are you shouting about? I am not blind
In silence, the warehouse was full, and Gong Hui looked towards Luo Yao
"What about yours? Let me see..." Liu Jinbao reached out and pried open the note in Luo Yao's hand
No one was sent to stop it, which clearly indicates that they were also pleased to see it happen
"In any case, I won't be in the same group as you." Luo Yao snorted, feeling somewhat annoyed by this overly talkative individual.
You little rascal
Shorthand is a skill that can be achieved through training, but for those with exceptional memory, there is a natural advantage.
We came together, and we all know each other, so it would be great to be in the same group, right?" Liu Jinbao held up the note in his hand in front of Luo Yao, "Look, I am in Group 5, what about you?"
Game One
God knows what will be encountered on the way to Xiangcheng, and women are often the creators of trouble
This is a test; he is mentally prepared, but he does not know when it will begin. After all, he is somewhat aware of the situation regarding the "training class," including how the training is organized, what subjects are covered, and what is being assessed.
What can the gentlemen say? In any case, there are eight groups, and three of them will be left out. Anyway, Luo Yao does not wish for any of them to be selected for Group 5.
There are even individuals who privately engage in betting.
Hehe, in our line of work, it's better to remain still than to act, but we cannot afford to be complacent. This fifth group is indeed worth paying attention to. Yu Jie chuckled softly, having already made up his mind. He no longer needed to worry about returning to discuss actions with that group.
... ...
Drawing lots for grouping, relying on luck.
Gu Yuan, I know you. A year ago, you were merely a minor constable in the Tianjin French Concession, clashing with Japanese ronin. If it weren't for someone saving your life, would you have had the opportunity to stand here now
This person is simply a busybody, someone who is naturally sociable, thick-skinned, and in the field of intelligence work, such individuals are indispensable.
Luo Yao furrowed his brow slightly, truly not wanting what came his way. He had hoped that by dividing into groups, he could rid himself of this guy and enjoy some peace and quiet, but unexpectedly, this fellow had actually caught a "5" as well
Luo Yao let out a sigh; at this point, he could no longer stop it even if he wanted to
Gu Yuan, impressive
For the first batch of students selected for the special training class, Deputy Director Yu Jie places great importance on them, as these individuals will eventually become the backbone.
Among the three, Man Cang appeared to be the oldest, yet his eyelids drooped, suggesting that he did not intend to stand out. Even Luo Yao observed a hint of apprehension flickering in his gaze.
Miss Gong wishes to become the leader of this group. That is not a problem. However, to be the leader, one must first gain the respect of others. Do you think you can achieve that?" Luo Yao pondered for a moment and asked
A hissing sound of inhaling cold air emanated from the surroundings
Upon entering this special training class, he encountered such a character, and Luo Yao also felt a headache. In fact, he had no particular objections to Gong Hui being the group leader.
There is also someone named Man Cang, who was sent by the Zhengzhou Special Administrative Office's Inspection Department, the deputy section chief of the Investigation Division. Judging by his demeanor, he seems reluctant to attend this special training class
I have long known that you are unwilling to accept this. " Gong Hui said with a disdainful smile, "I will give you an opportunity. Draw a line, and let us compete. As long as you can surpass me, I will step down from the position of group leader.
Other groups are also selecting their leaders, but everyone is relatively mild, generally discussing it together, or simply drawing lots again. After all, this leader is only temporary, and once we arrive in Xiangcheng, the group will definitely disband on its own.
The captain officer from the security office responsible for notifications was also brought in to serve as a witness
The grouping will be completed soon. Luo Yao has drawn the number "5", which means he is in the fifth group. Anyone who draws the number "5" will be in the same group.
Gu Yuan fell silent after a single shot, while Gong Hui turned her gaze towards Man Cang, Luo Yao, and Liu Jinbao.
If one wishes to remain undercover and conceal oneself, it is actually unnecessary to attend a special training class; it can be done entirely at the Jiangcheng Police Station
"Here he comes, Lao Luo, take a look, that one with a bit of a baby face is coming towards us..." Liu Jinbao suddenly exclaimed.
The drawing of lots determines the order
This is a temporary grouping
This is essentially a matter of memory.
Shut up
There is no need to create unpleasantness over a position as insignificant as "team leader," after all, everyone will be classmates and colleagues in the future
Luo Yao contemplated his life in the training class. Initially, he intended to conceal his shortcomings; however, once he chose to hide them, many things would become impossible to accomplish
Good
If you choose to hide something, you must continue to do so indefinitely. If one day you suddenly perform exceptionally well, it will inevitably raise others' suspicions, bringing you closer to exposure
Gu Yuan's face turned slightly pale, and he stepped back to quietly say to Luo Yao and the others: "I have lost, from now on, it will depend on you all."
Everyone is young, full of vigor and vitality; it is only natural to be competitive and strive for victory.
Hearing the cheers from the surroundings, Gu Yuan couldn't help but feel a slight flush on his face, and he provocatively glanced at Gong Hui.
Haha, Group 5, Lao Luo, we truly have a connection
It is now certain that the journey to Xiangcheng will not be smooth, and if someone is willing to take on this concern, why should we insist on stopping them
"If we are going to compete, then let us compete! I am not afraid of you!" Liu Jinbao said as he rolled up his sleeves
Five female students began selecting groups to join, with each person allowed to choose only one group, and each group can have only one female student. Moreover, the selected group cannot refuse the choice.
Randomly take a newspaper from that day, extract a passage of about 500 words from it, and have one person read it aloud quickly. Then, let two people summarize it on the spot; the one who restores it most accurately will be considered the winner
The competition of "shorthand" was proposed by Gu Yuan, which must be his strong suit. If he loses in his strong suit, what else is there to compete in?
Miss Gong, although you may have more experience than us and hold a higher position, we are all trainees now. To become a team leader, one must have the support of the group. Is it not a bit overbearing for you to insist on being the team leader right from the start
"You four can bring forth your strongest skills, and I will compete with each of you one by one. If I lose to any one of you, I will no longer mention the matter of the team leader," Gong Hui said
He truly knows very little about these matters, and in fact, there are many things he is completely unaware of
"On what basis..." Liu Jinbao was quick to speak, but was interrupted by Luo Yao, who glanced at him, causing him to sulkily close his mouth.
Gu Yuan was quite fortunate; upon starting, he drew a "first move" and managed to condense a five-hundred-word article into over three hundred words in one go, with very few errors.
My name is Gong Hui. I previously served as the team leader of the First Section of the Investigation Department of the Beiping City Police Bureau. If none of you four hold a position higher than mine, then I shall take on the role of leader of this fifth group. This baby-faced Gong Hui approached and directly stated in a tone that left no room for doubt.
"Gong Hui, I am here to compete with you in shorthand," Gu Yuan was the first to step forward, confidently speaking to Gong Hui.
"Lao Luo, who do you think among them would choose our group?" Liu Jinbao said with eager anticipation. In such a short time, he had surprisingly managed to quietly gather the basic information about the five female trainees. Just now, he had been talking non-stop about it, especially mentioning phrases like "big butt" and "good for bearing children".
A passage of five hundred words can be read quickly
Those who can enter the special training class are likely not ordinary individuals; perhaps they will surprise us
A trace of anger flashed across Gu Yuan's face, as if he had some reservations, and surprisingly, he endured it without erupting.
This Gu Yuan is indeed quite capable, Luo Yao sighed softly. Just now, he also took note of it. If it were him, he could have won, but he is unsure of Gong Hui's level.
Luo Yao and the other three exchanged glances and agreed
This is the privilege of female students
Gong Hui revealed a hint of smugness to the remaining three.
Luo Yao furrowed his brow slightly; this Gong Huizhen was truly both cold and arrogant, and somewhat unapproachable. Her words pierced directly to the heart, making her a difficult person to get along with
Good
Finally, the few individuals who had been observing in silence made a move and began to speak
Yu Jie had been listening for quite some time, and at this moment, he felt a surge of joy in his heart. If these students were to follow the textbook step by step, he would have been disappointed instead.
If this palace's wisdom has no support, how dare it act
However, if four big men were to willingly give up the position of team leader, they would likely be ridiculed by those around them, and other team members have already gathered nearby.
Five groups will compete to determine the selection of the group leader
Of course, he carried out all of this in secret, without making an appearance
Gong Hui achieved a complete victory
Good job, Gu Yuan!
Gu Yuan and Gong Hui are both individuals with exceptional memory.
Gather together based on the numbers you have drawn, and get to know each other.
They are not considered acquaintances, but they are aware of each other; however, he and Liu Jinbao are particularly unclear about the origins of Gong Hui
Therefore, he personally came from Xiangcheng to Xiakou, primarily to assess these trainees and see if he could discover any promising talents among them
"Old Yu, aren't you just trying to stir up a bit of commotion? Look, they jumped up on their own, isn't that just what you wanted?" Zhu Ruoyu, the stationmaster of Wuhan Station and head of the third section of the security department, chuckled beside him
Four big men allow a woman to take the lead; regardless of whether society can accept this, the pride within the hearts of men cannot bear it
He was even distracted by those unfamiliar scents, listening to what they might say in private, but in the end, he heard nothing.
"Alright, we will compete with you. As long as you can surpass the four of us, we will recognize you as the leader." At this moment, Man Cang, being the oldest among the four, felt that if he did not step forward to say something, he would be regarded as a coward.
Although some may "bully" others, this is a choice made by Gong Hui herself, and no one is forcing her to do so
Although Luo Yao was not fond of it, he no longer disliked it as much as he did initially. In the training class, the two of them were natural allies, and now that they are in the same group, he had even less reason to refuse.
From the perspective of Luo Yao's second soul experience, there will inevitably be certain events (trials) awaiting them; otherwise, there would be no need to do so
