Chapter 40: The Eve of the Tournament
Since Feng Jianxiong is the captain, he naturally has to take on his own responsibilities. He has never been stingy and arbitrary when it comes to things that should be decided.
"In official competitions, teams generally don't change the positions of players, so from today onwards, we also have to clarify their respective responsibilities and put our roles together.
Sister Yuan, you are the worst in the whole team, and you will concentrate on arguing in the future. If we are positive, then the opening statement will be formed by the whole team, and you will memorize it yourself. If we're on the other side, add a little bit of improvisation to the argument we are discussing.
Sister Meiqin's vision and attitude are the highest, so she should be the fourth debate. Sister Hai Mo and I served as the second and third debaters respectively. I'm in charge of leading the offensive rhythm of cross-cutting and free-form debates, and Hai Mo specializes in improvising to fend off the opponent's counter-evidence - well, that's pretty much it. β
Feng Jianxiong explained the grouping arrangement, and explained and discussed the division of labor skills with everyone, and the other three girls were not convinced, even if this matter was decided.
Feng Jianxiong continued to explain the follow-up hardware arrangements: "From today onwards, when the first debate and the fourth debate are held, we must focus on strengthening the physical demeanor, body language and rhythm." In the past, in the games played by oneself in the school, everyone's rhythm was not very good, and the opening statement and the summary statement of three or four minutes often had a time error of more than half a minute. It's not strict to pinch the bell in school, these are small problems, and it's very fatal in the competition......"
"Don't talk about these reasons, just say what you want us to do. Nan Xiaoyuan was actually quite convinced by Feng Jianxiong, and let him command it directly.
"Ahem, then I'm not going to say it directly. Feng Jianxiong cleared his throat, "I bought two large floor-to-ceiling mirrors online yesterday, and tomorrow Taobao will deliver them to the residence I bought outside the school." Anyway, when the time comes, you will live there, and you will be practicing in the mirror every day. Work in pairs, pinch each other's time, and then shoot it with DV. I also have 4 computers, all of which are 21-inch LCD monitors, which look more comfortable, and remember to observe the effect of being photographed from all angles. β
Yu Meiqin didn't like to be a vase since she was a child, and she frowned a little when she heard the words: "Not really...... We are training debaters, not entertainment and leading dancers. It would be better to spend more energy on the first debate. β
Feng Jianxiong patiently persuaded: "Sharpen your guns in battle, other skills can't improve much in the past ten days, and the training I said is the most immediate for you two positions." Besides, how can an opponent like Hua Zheng be qualified to let me gamble all my energy on the debate? We have to look far ahead, at least the semi-finals will be a tough battle. β
Feng Jianxiong explained this, and the other girls were no longer convinced. They heard that Feng Jianxiong had made so many preparations out of his own pocket, and they still felt that this boy was quite responsible, at least with a computer to buy a DV suit and dressing mirror, which added up to tens of thousands of yuan. Other students are not willing to spend this money on campus club activities.
β¦β¦
The discussion was late that day, and everyone went to the off-campus dinner together to boost their morale before they dispersed.
Feng Jianxiong led a group of girls to the house he had just bought outside the school before the summer vacation, sat and chatted for a while, drank some water, and then handed the key to Yu Meiqin (Shi Nicole already had it). He himself took his farewell very gentlemanly and prepared to go back to sleep in the dormitory on campus.
Yu Meiqin took advantage of the situation and politely said: "I'll send you down, by the way, I will have two more keys, and I will also leave one for Sister Haimo and Sister Yuan." β
"It's a good thing, but I didn't think it through. Feng Jianxiong was right to think about it, it was indeed a bit inconvenient to let the three girls share a door key.
Anyway, these girls are all decent people, even if they leave the key to this house in the future, they will not come to steal things, what is there to be afraid of.
Then Feng Jianxiong and Yu Meiqin went downstairs side by side, leaving Nan Xiaoyuan and Tian Haimo to take the opportunity to take a hot bath.
Yu Meiqin has heard yesterday that Feng Jianxiong and Shi Nike have become boyfriend and girlfriend, and they have never had the opportunity to talk alone.
Today, she talked about the debate team all day, but she was confused, and the level of performance she played was not even as good as Nan Xiaoyuan.
Now, it can be regarded as an opportunity to ask the two people clearly.
On the way to the key-matching store, lined with the dim street lights in the community, Yu Meiqin lowered her head and asked casually: "Xiaoxiong, I heard that you and Nicole ...... That's it? Secrecy is really done. β
Feng Jianxiong was slightly stunned, and then smiled and confessed: "You know everything, I actually didn't want to hide it, but there is nothing to hype about this kind of thing." If others don't ask, it's hard for me to take the initiative to say. β
"I also told me quietly, and I heard it, otherwise who would be impatient to ask. β
After all, Yu Meiqin knew that it had been a whole day, and her mood had already been calm, and naturally there would be no signs of loss of control in her tone. She added like this, and it also seemed that she was very graceful and quiet, and she was not a person who took the initiative to gossip, "However, since it has become a good thing, it is reasonable that you should always invite good friends to get together and bleed, anyway, you are also a local tyrant now, and you are still afraid of treats?"
"That's, it's necessary, Sister Mai Qin, you have spoken, how could I be stingy with this little money. Feng Jianxiong agreed.
Yu Meiqin originally wanted to ask Feng Jianxiong, "What do you like about Nick Silva?"
Even with the follow-up lines, she has already sorted them out very clearly in her mind.
But when the words came to her mouth, Yu Meiqin felt as if her throat had been vacuumed, and she couldn't make a sound at all.
Feelings don't make sense, so why force the reason.
She pondered again and again, her face was flushed, and she could only talk about him left and right, and changed the topic:
"Xiaoxiong, just now you asked Sister Hai Mo for authorization, and then help fight a few anti-counterfeiting lawsuits in the name of the Legal Aid Center, I always feel that it is not appropriate. If you don't have a lot of legal fees, why don't you borrow the shell of a regular law firm to do this? If you look too ugly like this, you will become famous in the future, and maybe you will still be a stain on your progress. β
Feng Jianxiong laughed: "I am not afraid of stains, I have been a lawyer all my life, and I will not consider changing my career to become a judge, prosecutor, or a representative or committee member. β
Yu Meiqin knew that he really thought so, and it was not easy to persuade him.
It's just that the girl is quite upright, and she still has some compassion for the poor after all, and finally persuaded: "However, the resources of our legal aid center are usually used to help the poor who can't afford to fight lawsuits.
"I didn't let you and Sister Nan Tian also help, I just borrowed the shell, and Nicole and I were doing everything by ourselves, what resources did we occupy?"
"But even you and Nicole should have a lot of energy to help the poor respond to lawsuits, according to the "Lawyers Law", even serious lawyers, there are legal aid indicators to be completed every year. Your evasion of your obligations is also an injustice to the poor. β
Yu Meiqin has been in the legal aid center for more than half a year, and she usually doesn't do anything about black history, but often doesn't collect money to take on cases such as asking for wages for migrant workers - although she can win the case every time, this girl has no iron and blood to deal with the old lai, so she never helps people get money, which belongs to "only taking advantage of reason, no money to take".
This can't be said about Our Lady of Poppy, just because she was born in a rich family, she doesn't care about money, she just wants to do something meaningful and prove the value of her life.
Feng Jianxiong knew Yu Meiqin too well, so he knew that he couldn't continue to talk nonsense with the other party in the name of righteousness.
"Okay, then this is the last wave - I promise not to use legal aid resources to help the rich people fight lawsuits in the future, okay?
In fact, you can think about it from another perspective, today, the reason why I 'use public weapons for private use' to fight counterfeits for capitalists is not because those poor people love to buy fakes and watch pirated copies, which leads to the national law tying the two loopholes of 'counterfeiting' and 'shoddy' together.
If we live in a country where intellectual property protection is very complete and the people are simple, can the state be guilty of bundling the violation of intellectual property rights with the violation of quality and safety?
Therefore, the next time a migrant worker asks for wages, 'Why don't legal aid lawyers take our lawsuit seriously, but focus on fighting counterfeits for the capitalists?' they should ask themselves: 'Did I buy the counterfeit because it was cheap, did I know it was a fake, and did I see a pirated copy?'
Legal services, in the final analysis, are also a kind of knowledge economy. Since there are some poor people in this world who feel that knowledge services should not be paid, then pray that nothing will happen to them. If something really happens, then you will either pay for it or wait for death, Tong Suo is not bullied, and the two do not owe each other. β
Listening to Feng Jianxiong's cold-blooded, accurate and correct remarks, Yu Meiqin couldn't refute it at all.
She is a person who understands and is well-informed, and knows that although what Feng Jianxiong said is cruel, it is all true.
Just as China and Ah San like to infringe on the patents of international pharmaceutical giants, then in the end, people will not develop customized improvements for Huaxia people or Ah San, and let the side effects of Huaxia and Ah San after taking the drug - Originally, Western pharmaceutical giants were ready to give up the entire yellow market, and the reason why they did not give up was because Fuso and South Koreans still respect patents.
Therefore, those Chinese people whose genes are closer to those of Fusang and Koreans can have fewer side effects after taking those tiger and wolf medicines, and those whose genes are relatively different from those of Fusang and who are closer to Ah San, can only resign themselves to fate if they eat or not.
It's all a tragedy of the commons effect, and there's not much to say.
After Yu Meiqin finished matching the key, she walked dozens of steps, and when she reached a secluded place, she gritted her teeth and confessed:
"I kind of understand why you like Nicole, only she adores you unconditionally, whatever you say. Even one dayβI mean just in caseβeven one day, you become a demon, and Nicole will be with you to destroy it. Well, I'm not as good as her in that regard. Count me in resignation......"
"You...... You don't mean to say that you used to have a crush on me. Feng Jianxiong was a little cramped, "Actually, I know that you can't stand my style very well, so I don't want to hurt you." β
"Okay, don't talk about it, we're still good friends. At least I still appreciate your talent. Yu Meiqin could afford to let go of the ground and waved goodbye to Feng Jianxiong. looked at his departing back, and shed tears in a daze:
"It's a pity, so talented, so thoughtful, why do you take such an extreme path? I don't want you to be so compassionate, but isn't it good to have a little normal three views? Forget it, it's not your own, you can't force it. β
She is not the Virgin and the White Lotus, and her tolerance for intelligent people is quite high, if not good. But she really can't stand those geeks who are born alone.
