According to the matchup situation of the game, the winner of the first game will compete with the winner of the fifth game for a spot in the semi-finals, the winner of the second game will compete with the winner of the sixth game, and so on. The winner of one or five games will face the winner of three or seven games, and the winner of two or four games will face the winner of four or eight games.
In other words, Lin Jingran and I will not meet each other before the finals, but if we want to join forces in the finals, I guess I need to defeat Dragon Mage Luo Ye Suifeng and my old friend Yanyu Chuchen first. If we want to get stuck n For example, the finals are not easy, and Lin Jingran directly met Yanyu Chuchen’s older brother Yanyu Huang when he advanced to the quarterfinals. After defeating Yanyu Huang, he is very likely to meet Pitang Zhang and Tian Mengjie successively. , it is even more difficult than me to advance to the finals.
And this is just my current guess. There is no weak person who can reach this point. It is not certain how many of my friends who are familiar with me will be able to enter the top eight, but I believe it. Neither he nor Lin Jingran will miss the quarterfinals. There is no reason, just confidence.
Today's games are all over, and the evening reception is about to begin. Fortunately, the hotel where the reception is held is not very far from the competition venue. It can be reached in a few minutes' walk, so there is no need to worry about being late.
As contestants in the offline competition, we all got invitations to the reception in advance. This time Shiqi did not have an invitation, and she is still recovering from illness. It is said that the reception in the evening will mainly feature a cold meal, but that is not the case. and her, otherwise it would be impossible for Lin Jingran not to get her an invitation.
Pi Tangzhang had to take care of Shi Qi, so he didn’t plan to attend for a while, so only Yaxin and I went there together.
When we arrived at the hotel, we showed our invitations and saw that it was very lively inside with lights and colorful decorations. The large-screen TV hanging on the wall was playing a promotional video for the Shin Kong Almighty King smart bracelet. However, why was there no dining table in the grand banquet hall? Are we supposed to be asked to eat standing up as a group?
At this time, many people had already mentioned that they were present. They were all standing there, occasionally picking up a drink of various colors (or maybe wine) from the plate held by the waiter passing by. Take a sip and then continue talking and laughing.
Yaxin seemed to see through my thoughts, smiled and whispered in my ear: "Brother, this kind of Western-style buffet party is originally eaten standing up, which makes it easier for everyone to move around and communicate with each other. Of course, If you are tired, you can rest on the chairs on either side."
I said: "Isn't this similar to the cocktail party on TV?"
Yaxin answered with a smile: "This originally evolved from a cocktail party, but this kind of cold dinner party will have some staple food such as barbecue to fill the stomach, but the cocktail party basically does not,"
I said: "You know, it seems like you have participated in it before,"
Yaxin puffed up her proud chest and said proudly: "I never had the opportunity to participate in the past, but a senior sister in our school who is taking the postgraduate entrance examination often participates in such activities, and I often listen to her talk, so I also know the rules. ah,"
As we were talking, suddenly everyone looked towards the door at the same time. Out of curiosity, Yaxin and I also temporarily ended the conversation and turned to look at the door. I wanted to see who could attract everyone in the room at once. The eyes of so many people.
I saw the deputy mayor who had appeared during the day walking in surrounded by a group of people, and Lin Jingran's parents followed closely beside the deputy mayor.
It turned out that the leader was here. I was a little disappointed. I thought she was some beautiful woman.
As a result, as soon as I looked away, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and many animals looked like nymphos on their faces, murmuring to themselves: "It's so beautiful, it's really so beautiful."
Well, it turns out that there are other beauties following the Lin family couple. I didn’t notice it just now. It seemed that there was something wrong with my eyes, so I turned my head and looked towards the door again.
I saw a peerless beauty wearing a snow-white dress walking in closely behind the Lin family couple. Under the light of the lights, she looked so beautiful, like a fairy who had just come to the world, and her beautiful face I am very familiar with beautiful faces and see them almost every day.
Yes, the one who can enter the venue behind the Lin family and his wife is of course Lin Jieran, the only daughter of the Lin family in Guangzhou. Next to Lin Jieran, Lin Yingyi and Lin Jieran, who have also caught the attention of countless men, are holding hands like a pair of close sisters. Come in.
The principals were all present, and what followed was a series of leadership speeches, group toasts and other formal procedures. After a short while of busy work, Lin Jingran’s father, Lin Huamin, the helmsman of Haotian Group, finally announced the start of the reception.
During the collective toast, an incident occurred. I reached out to call for several waiters, but found that none of the wine they served on their plates was white wine. In the end, everyone had already raised their glasses, so I couldn’t help but just grab a glass of blue wine. The thing was lifted quickly.
Then when everyone was toasting together, I took a sip and drank it without caring about anything. I almost spit it out. This thing looked beautiful but it tasted too bad. At the same time, I kept muttering in my heart: Damn, what a shabby five-star hotel. Not even any liquor.
After completing the task of making a collective toast, I immediately threw the triangular cup to a waiter. I didn't have time to carry the plate and go to the food station in the middle to get something to eat. I went to the drinks station first to look for white wine.
As a result, there was some white wine on the drinks table, but it was brandy and Sprite, not white wine at all.
"Why is there no liquor?" I grabbed a waiter and asked.
"I'm sorry, sir, this is a Western-style buffet and we won't prepare liquor for our guests," the waiter replied.
"But what should I do if I just want to drink white wine?"
"I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about it," the waiter said not very politely, because the other guests were all dressed more formally, and there were only 32 of us, no, it should be the 31 contestants who were wearing more silk stockings, which was very important. It's easy to see that we players are definitely the least important group of guests tonight.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded from behind me: "Why, little brother, you are not used to drinking these cocktails, maybe they are brandy,"
Listening to the voice, I immediately judged that it was my deputy mayor. He had delivered speeches this morning and evening. The voice was so familiar.
I immediately turned around and said to him respectfully: "Mayor Qin, I really can't get used to these drinks."
The deputy mayor immediately said to the waiter: "Bring me a bottle of liquor, and this little brother and I will have a few drinks together."
…
Lin Jingran and Lin Yingyi, the two most beautiful flowers in the world, are naturally the most popular characters. Needless to say, Lin Jingran does not have a boyfriend yet (I don’t think I am yet), and it is said that Lin Yingyi does not have a boyfriend either. Friends, the sisters immediately attracted a lot of promising young people dressed up like dogs to surround them. Judging from their clothes and conversation, they were probably either rich second generations or turtles. Anyway, I kept my ears open. I overheard a few words but didn't understand a word.
Lin Yingyi has been working hard in shopping malls for several years, and she obviously often faces such scenes, so she can deal with them with ease. She can talk and laugh easily, but when it comes to specific issues, she will hesitate and say nothing.
But Lin Jingran was different. Although she was the eldest daughter of the Lin family in Guangzhou, she probably rarely participated in similar activities before. She was obviously a little impatient with the admirers around her, and her brows were almost always furrowed. It's wrinkled.
Seeing her expression, many people made excuses and walked away. However, there was a pretentious guy who kept chasing after Lin Jingran and refused to leave for a moment.
At this time, the Vice Mayor and I were already drunk, and it was just the time when wine meets a close friend and a thousand cups are too little. However, Lin Jingran was in urgent need of me to come to the rescue, and I couldn't just leave the Vice Mayor behind, no? If I want to marry Lin Juran in the future, I will need to ask for permission from her family.
It’s not a matter of leaving or staying. I’m as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
The deputy mayor saw this and said to me with a smile: "Hurry over there, don't be too late and your girlfriend will be snatched away."
"this……"
"Go ahead, I was young too,"
Now that the boss has spoken, I have nothing to worry about. To put it bluntly, I am just following the order to pick up girls.
"Mayor Qin, I'll excuse you now. I'll come back later," I said respectfully to the deputy mayor.
"Go quickly, I'm still waiting for you to drink,"
Lin Jingran seemed really impatient and had the urge to get angry. So I immediately got up and walked over quickly, picked up the guy by his collar and put him aside: " People have been impatient with you for a long time, can't you see it yourself? It's better to leave quickly, it's the most boring thing to stalk you."
The guy turned around and saw me dressed so plainly, and his arrogance suddenly became arrogant again, and he said angrily: "Who the hell are you? You don't have to worry about our affairs,"
Lin Jingran immediately stood up, held my hand and said, "He is my boyfriend, okay?"
I guess Lin Xiaoniu was also pushed into a hurry, otherwise she wouldn't have used this trick. I'm 100% sure that she would turn her back and refuse to admit it again.
The guy glanced at the wine glass in my hand, sneered and said to Lin Jeran: "He is the only one who drinks white wine at the buffet. What qualifications do he have to be your boyfriend? If you want to deal with me, you don't have to use this kind of thing." Use stuff as a shield,"
I was about to say something when I suddenly noticed that the boy's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver. At the same time, I could feel a very familiar smell behind me. It was the same smell as the Wuliangye in my cup.
