Chapter 771: Beneficial to Both Sides
Moreover, she hadn’t touched a skateboard since the last time she got injured, feeling somewhat rusty. Perhaps, she should try some practice runs first.
What was frustrating was that she wasn’t in the best physical condition today, mainly because...
Oh, the backache!
There was also this inexplicable pain between her legs, causing mild discomfort.
But they happened to arrange it for today!
Could she avoid going?
Well, it didn’t really matter. She would just go.
This minor physical discomfort was of little concern and wouldn’t affect anything.
Di Xiaxia initially planned to call Di Mingzhe or send him a message about her coming home late.
But remembering the incident with Dan Lingling, she ultimately decided against it.
Now, she usually doesn’t contact Di Mingzhe unless he contacts her first.
If she was going, it’d be unavoidable to bump into Gu Qibao and the rest.
Gu Qibao instantly got excited when she found out that Di Xiaxia was going to the sports stadium for the test. She couldn’t help but admire Di Xiaxia.
They all excitedly exclaimed that they wanted to go and watch.
Di Xiaxia didn’t mind either, the more the merrier. Besides, going alone would be rather boring.
So, they all set off together.
Luckily, Di Xiaxia hadn’t driven her car today. She was dropped off by security earlier and was going to be picked up again by them after school.
She told the security guard, who then drove away.
Gu Qibao sent Di Mingjue a message about their plans, and then the four of them drove off.
The journey to the national sports stadium was a bit lengthy, especially now during peak hours, it would take at least an hour. But with the lively bantering and laughter along the way, everyone was feeling lively.
On this side,
Di Mingzhe had indeed gone to see Di Mingjue before the school ended. The two brothers were in Di Mingjue’s office conversing.
Di Mingzhe took a sip of tea and asked first, "What’s your decision?"
Di Mingjue raised a cold smile, "Skipping class to ask me about my decision? Are you anxious for me to participate?"
Di Mingzhe’s eyes narrowed slightly, being straightforward in his response, "The decision is yours. I’m just expressing concern. I think it wouldn’t hurt to participate since it’s a matter of national pride."
"Too bad it’s within the scope of the current office." Di Mingjue leisurely responded, "If it were during your term, I would undoubtedly participate."
"It doesn’t matter who’s in charge." Di Mingzhe generously stated, "I’ve told you before that it would certainly be included in the international competitions. It’s just that I didn’t anticipate that it would come this quickly, and so hastily at that. Likely, the President wants to achieve some glory in the final year of his term."
"Indeed." Di Mingjue shrugged, "Why should I participate? Let whoever wants to participate this year do so. When you’re in charge, if there’s a need, I will participate."
"Aren’t you afraid that someone else will snatch the top prize?" Di Mingzhe teased.
"I don’t care about it at all." Di Mingjue responded with a faint smile, "Whoever wants to go, goes. I’m not particularly interested."
"I see." Di Mingzhe nodded, his expression turning solemn as he asked, "Aren’t you worried the President will play dirty?"
"You think he would?" Di Mingjue retorted.
"It’s possible." Di Mingzhe responded confidently, "Based on my understanding of him, he’s fervently obsessed with power. He wouldn’t miss out on such an opportunity to create a legacy during his final term."
"You think we can’t outplay him?" Di Mingjue asked with narrowed eyes, looking rather fierce.
"It’s not that we can’t outplay him, but it’s unnecessary." Di Mingzhe replied calmly, "After thinking it over, it’s beneficial for both him and us. In any case, we might as well go with the flow and proceed."
"Oh?" Di Mingjue raised an eyebrow, "Can you explain how it benefits us?"
