When he was about to eat dinner, Lin Xiao received a call from Xia Jing.

"Come down, I'll wait for you in the lobby and have dinner together in the evening." Xia Jing said with a smile, her tone was very soft, but between the lines there was a meaning that could not be refused.

"Sister Xia, it's really not good tonight, I just joined the delegation on the first day, and I didn't act with everyone, isn't it a bit special?" Lin Xiao refused with a wry smile.

"It's okay, I didn't leave the hotel again, I also ate in the hotel, but I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I'm catching up." There was a hint of expectation in Xia Jing's tone.

Lin Xiao sighed and said, "Let's wait for the exchange meeting to end, there are not many opportunities for us to meet, I always have to get familiar with my teammates." ”

"Okay then," Xia Jing said disappointedly: "Remember, when the exchange meeting is over, you invite me to dinner, don't play tricks!" ”

Hearing this, Lin Xiao was stunned, why is it so familiar? Joanne had said something to herself, almost the same.

Lin Xiao's heart suddenly became vigilant, and the girl asked the boy to invite him to dinner...... Not a good sign! Lin Xiao secretly warned himself that he should be careful when the time comes, his mentality must be correct, and he must pay attention to what he says, just in case.

The dinner was eaten by the delegations, and sure enough, during the meal, Yang Jian, the leader of the delegation, gave everyone a small mobilization meeting to encourage everyone to behave well, Lin Xiao was very glad that he did not go out to eat with Xia Jing, otherwise he would definitely be complained.

After dinner, Lin Xiao made a phone call to Qiao Nier, due to the tight time, he was basically with the delegation when he got off the plane, and it was inconvenient for him to call Qiao Nier, because they were easy to get tired of making a phone call, which was not suitable for the public.

After eating, Lin Xiao came to the large balcony on the third floor and dialed Qiao Nier's phone.

"You're here?" As soon as the phone was connected, Joniel said.

Lin Xiao said softly: "It's here, I just had dinner, have you eaten?" ”

"I'm having breakfast! Have you forgotten our jet lag? Qiao Nier smiled: "Wait a minute, I'll go out shopping with Lin Mo and them, there is no class today." ”

"Well, then you eat, I'll give you peace." Lin laughed.

Qiao Nier laughed on the other side of the phone: "If you want me to say it directly, what's so embarrassing?" But I can warn you, where there are a lot of blonde and blue-eyed beauties, and people are very open, you can count your own points, don't give me nonsense, if I hear some rumors, wait for you to come back and see that I won't castrate you! At the end, Qiao Nier deliberately made a vicious voice to intimidate Lin Xiao.

It's just that her intimidation sounds cute to Lin Xiao.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiao went back to the room to rest.

Since the Huaxia delegation came in a hurry, and the next day was the day when the exchange meeting began, everyone slept early that night and prepared to recuperate and cope with the next day's battle.

Early the next morning, the Huaxia delegation was ready to go, and after accepting Yang Jian's mobilization again, they took a special car to the scene of the exchange meeting.

The full name of the meeting is: World Literature Organization Mystery Novel Exchange, which was held at the Christmas Opera House in the Loshanji Center.

The Christmas Opera House is a world-class opera house, world-famous, and the United States Literature Association said that this exchange meeting was held here, but also to show the strong cultural heritage of the United States.

The entire theater can accommodate 10,000 spectators, although the scale is not very large, but it is very exquisite, whether it is in the decoration style, or in the decoration matching, it is very tasteful, and the hardware facilities are impeccable.

Entering the opera house, there were staff members to take the delegations of various countries to their respective places to sit down, a total of 20 countries participated in this exchange meeting, but among them, the strength in the mystery novel is also after the United States, island countries and other countries, most of the rest are here to play soy sauce, with the purpose of learning, in the eyes of others, Huaxia is at most a disruptor, and has no strength to compete for the top five.

Delegates from 20 countries sat in a semicircle around the stage, and behind and above them were the audience, which was mostly industry insiders.

After a boring speech by the leaders of various countries, the leaders of the host country made a concluding speech, and then began the first round of competition.

This is a knockout competition system, each national delegation can submit five works to participate, and the first round has a total of 30 works to be eliminated, and there are 5,000 audience judges on the spot, they will be a group of 50 people, review a work, one by one to score the works, the lowest score of 30 works will be eliminated.

The first round of works can be prepared in advance, and the second round will be created on the spot, the time is eight hours, eight hours later, the created works will be submitted for review again, this time to eliminate 30 places again, and the remaining 40 places into the final round.

Ten winners will be selected from the 40 places in the final round, and the final ranking will be determined according to the country to which the ten works belong and the total number of points obtained.

That is to say, just looking at the number of places, each work is a one-off, and the work itself is not an important factor that depends on the final result, but the last work is the most important.

After the exchange meeting began, they talked about the works they had prepared in advance, and the electronic backup was displayed on the screen in front of the seats of each audience judge.

After about two hours of waiting, the final result was first on the big screen.

In first place is the United States, all of their five works passed the first round of elimination, the second place is the island country, they also passed all of them, while Great Britain passed with four works, France passed with the same four works, but China's results were not very good, only two works passed the preliminary round.

This suddenly made the atmosphere within the Huaxia delegation tense, this is only the first round, there are only two places left, the second round must keep all these two places, otherwise if you lose another place, even if you reach the final final, no matter how high the score of the work, it is also a lonely force, not dominant.

Yang Jian's brows tightened, thinking about countermeasures.

In fact, it is already a dead end, no matter what you think, there is no best solution, only the work itself is excellent, is the last word.

Lin Xiao's eyebrows also furrowed, he was wondering if he should make a move to participate in the second round?

When he came, Lin Xiao didn't think about making a move, because if he made a move, it would mean stealing the limelight from others in the delegation, this kind of thing is very taboo, in some specific circles, young people still have to abide by some unwritten rules, otherwise they will lose face and make others unhappy.

But now that we have reached a moment of crisis, the country's face should be more important, right? Lin couldn't help but think about it, and he hadn't made a final decision yet.

The Huaxia delegation returned to the hotel sullenly, frowning one by one, all worried about the next competition, Yang Jian was very depressed, if the results were not good this time, he would have to bear most of the responsibility, because all the entries had to be approved by him before they could be submitted.

This time the result was not good, his pressure was already very great, there was really no good way, just when he was helpless, suddenly Lin Xiao walked into his sight, and his eyes suddenly lit up!

Things have reached the point of exhaustion, can you trust this young man once?
