The Jinxiu Cup Model Contest is halfway through. The semi-finals will be held on the night of the 17th, and half of the contestants will be eliminated.
Many viewers are concerned about this game and hope that their players can advance.
Lin Mai stayed in Beijing for an extra day for this semi-final.
There are a lot of things waiting for her to deal with in Jiangcheng. If it weren't for this semi-final, Lin Mai would have taken a flight to Jiangcheng long ago.
On the morning of the 17th, Lin Mai went to the Beijing office for a meeting and made arrangements for the work in Beijing.
The main purpose is to ask the general manager to arrange manpower to buy two similar street-facing storefronts every three kilometers in a prosperous area of the capital.
There are a total of twenty groups, that is, forty facades, and Linmai has requirements for the size of the facades.
All the executives were confused.
Lin Maiko said before that buying a store and opening a chain store requires a lot of investment, which will affect the development of the company, but now... why are they allowed to buy a large amount of storefronts?
When they raised questions, Lin Mai told them to just do it.
After lunch and resting at home, Lin Mai went to the CCTV recording studio, where the semifinals were in full swing.
The players are very nervous and are concentrating on the competition on the stage.
Those who didn't take their turn were preparing in the audience, striving to maintain their best condition.
Gu Yan was twisting her waist in the audience. When she saw Lin Mai, she smiled brightly at her.
It was really not easy for Gu Yan to reach the semi-finals. Lin Mai encouraged her a few words.
Gong Xueqin had been eliminated in the previous round and missed the semi-finals.
But she came today too, accompanying Du Juan.
She has been encouraging Du Juan to compete well and make it to the finals.
Du Juan nodded solemnly, but her eyes were fixed on the stage.
Watching the contestants perform on the stage, she was filled with worry.
Halfway through the competition, those who have made it this far are all excellent players.
Among these contestants, apart from holding the title of a young talented girl, she was not outstanding at all and had no confidence that she could make it to the semi-finals.
While Du Juan was deep in thought, Gong Xueqin touched her with her elbow: "Look, Lin Mai is here!"
Du Juan looked up and saw Lin Mai greeting the contestants surrounded by several TV station staff.
Lin Mai had an approachable smile and spoke very kindly, and the players all looked flattered.
Du Juan looked at her smiling face, but felt that she was very hypocritical. She turned her head to the side, not looking at her, let alone talking to her.
There were so many people at the scene that it was impossible for Lin Mai to notice Du Juan.
Even if he noticed her, Lin Mai was too lazy to pay attention to her look.
She is not Dujuan's mother. If Dujuan is unhappy, she will comfort her.
Lin Mai watched the contestants' performances on the stage for a while before leaving.
She is going back to Jiangcheng tomorrow. Grandpa Fang, Grandma Fang and Doudou will follow her back to Jiangcheng. She has to go back and prepare.
As soon as she turned around, she heard the assistant director arranging the players in the seventh group to get ready. It was soon time for them to compete.
A contestant from the seventh group raised his hand and said: "Tell the director, I didn't see Du Juan."
Lin Mai stopped when he heard this.
The assistant director immediately became furious: "What's going on with this Dujuan? He slipped up at a critical moment?
You should hurry up and look for her to see where she is."
The team members refused to move.
It's their turn to play in less than ten minutes. Going to find Du Juan now, running out of breath, will affect the performance.
When the assistant director saw this, he had to arrange for the staff to find Du Juan.
At this time Gong Xueqin stood up and told everyone that Du Juan suddenly had a stomachache and had to go to the toilet.
The assistant director stamped his feet anxiously: "From the first day you entered the competition, I told you that you should pay attention to food hygiene on the day of the competition and avoid diarrhea, but some people still turned a deaf ear to my words!"
Du Juan hurried over amid the assistant director's complaints.
But just as I was getting ready to go on stage, my stomach hurt again, and it was the kind of pain that I couldn't help but feel.
She had no choice but to run to the bathroom desperately.
Fortunately, it was not a live broadcast, so the assistant director had to suspend the recording of the program for Du Juan.
But a quarter of an hour later, Du Juan's diarrhea symptoms had not improved at all, and she would not be able to perform on the stage for a while.
We can't all waste time on her alone.
The assistant director made a temporary decision to place the seventh group in the last group, and the other groups would go first.
Lin Mai also arranged for medical personnel to give Du Juan an injection of special antidiarrheal medicine as soon as she came out of the bathroom.
This special medicine can stop diarrhea within a quarter of an hour.
However, a quarter of an hour later, this special medicine had no effect on Du Juan's body, and she still kept running to the bathroom.
Lin Mai was confused and asked the medical staff what was going on.
One of the doctors replied: "This specific antidiarrheal drug only targets diarrhea caused by bacteria.
This contestant used this special medicine, but it didn’t work at all, which shows that her diarrhea was not caused by bacteria.”
Lin Mai thought: "Could it be diarrhea caused by eating something bad?"
The doctor shook his head: "I can't see it.
Based on my experience, I probably took laxatives by mistake.
In this case, no treatment is needed. Just drink more hot water and wait for the laxative to wear off."
Du Juan is not mentally retarded, so how could she have taken laxatives by mistake?
Lin Mai immediately thought of the possibility that someone had given her laxatives without her knowledge.
The person who gave Du Juan laxatives was probably a contestant.
Lin Mai had seen many situations like this on the Internet in his previous life. Players would go to any lengths to cause trouble for their competitors to be eliminated.
She hated the kind of villain who plotted against her back the most in her life.
She must find out this player, no matter how good her performance is, she will kick her out.
Although she cannot 100% guarantee that the Jinxiu Cup Model Competition is fair and just, she must try to be fair and just, otherwise it will be unfair to other contestants.
As the doctor said, no treatment is needed. As long as the laxative effect wears off, diarrhea will naturally stop.
After the effects of the laxative in Du Juan's body passed, she no longer had diarrhea, but she was already exhausted and unable to participate in the competition.
Du Juan sat in the audience, watching the performances of the contestants on the stage with distaste.
She initially didn't think about participating in the Jinxiu Cup Model Contest, but Gong Xueqin forced her to do so.
But step by step, her mentality has changed and she wants to go further.
It's best to win the championship and get the 30,000 yuan bonus.
Moreover, it can also prove to the people of the whole country that girls from Qingda University are not only good at studying, but they are also very charming when they walk the catwalk on the catwalk.
Unexpectedly, she did not lose to her competitors, but to diarrhea.
This made her very unwilling, but there was nothing she could do.
Gong Xueqin, who had been by her side and taking care of her, had a smile in his eyes as if he had succeeded in his treacherous plot.
She pretended to be concerned and said, "I see you are almost dehydrated. I'm going to get you a cup of hot water."
Du Juan nodded gratefully.
Gong Xueqin got up and looked for her water glass, but she couldn't find it after searching for several times.
She asked Du Juan: "Where did you put your water glass? Why can't I find it?"
Du Juan pointed to the dressing table and wondered: "I put it here, why is it missing?"
A staff member in charge of the dressing room said to Du Juan: "Mr. Lin asked someone to take your water cup and send it to the hospital for testing."
Du Juan wondered: "Why did he take my water cup to the hospital for testing?"
The staff member said: "She suspects that someone put laxatives into your water glass, which caused you to have constant diarrhea, so she wants to send your water glass to the hospital for testing."
Du Juan was a little moved after hearing this, and whispered to Gong Xueqin: "You always say that Lin Mai is not good to me, but I think she is good to me.
If she really treated me badly, how could she thoroughly investigate whether someone had stolen laxatives for me in my water glass?"
At this time, Gong Xueqin was already in disarray.
She never expected that Lin Mai would suspect that Du Juan had been given laxatives and send her water cup for testing.
Although she washed Du Juan's water glass again and again, she was still afraid that there would be laxative ingredients in Du Juan's water glass.
She and Du Juan were inseparable. If the test really showed that there were laxative ingredients, she would be the biggest suspect.
How should I stay out of it then?
Just when Gong Xueqin was nervously thinking about countermeasures, she heard Du Juan's words and had no intention of answering.
He said: "I suddenly remembered that I have something to deal with and I can't accompany you anymore."
Without waiting for Du Juan to answer, she left in a hurry.
Du Juan was left staring at her leaving figure, thoughtfully.
More than half an hour later, the hospital sent the test results of the water cup.
The water glass had been cleaned deliberately and no laxative ingredients could be found.
Lin Mai immediately asked the staff to investigate to see if anyone had witnessed who cleaned Du Juan's water cup.
Du Juan said with a bad expression: "No need to check, the person who poured me water and washed the cups is all Gong Xueqin."
Lin Mai was quite surprised when he heard this.
She always thought that the contestants competing for the semi-finals were plotting against her in order to get rid of Du Juan as a competitor.
Unexpectedly, it was Gong Xueqin who did it.
She has been eliminated a long time ago, and there is no conflict of interest with Du Juan. She is also Du Juan's best friend, but she is secretly stumbling upon Du Juan.
This kind of best friend is too insidious.
I was eliminated, but I couldn't see my best friend being good, and I also dragged my best friend down.
Since it was not a conspiracy between players, but Du Juan's personal issue, Lin Mai stopped pursuing it.
Du Juan couldn't figure out why Gong Xueqin wanted to plot against her. There was no enmity between the two in the past and they had no enmity recently. They were still good friends.
She returned to school angrily and wanted to find out what happened to Gong Xueqin, but she was not seen in the dormitory.
Du Juan made a lot of inquiries and found out that Gong Xueqin had made an appointment with Shi Lei to Shuimu Tsinghua University.
She wondered in her heart, Gong Xueqin never interacted with Shi Lei alone, so how could she ask him to go to Shuimu Tsinghua University?
