Chapter 4229

Yu Jianyuan couldn't help but smile and say to He Lin beside him, "It seems Su Xinghui is very popular?"

He Lin nodded and said, "Indeed, Su Xinghui is a person with great personal charm in the short-term training class."

Yu Jianyuan nodded thoughtfully. In such a competition, he shouldn't have any bias, but now, in his heart, he also hoped that Su Xinghui could turn defeat into victory.

Although Su Xinghui lost the first game, he didn't have any panic. Starting the second game, he remained steady, sticking to his tactics from the first game, lengthening the rallies to consume Gu Yihua's stamina.

This tactic had been proven effective. Gu Yihua's ball skills were excellent, but after all, he was already a man nearing fifty. Compared to the energetic Su Xinghui, stamina was his weakness.

Although the score in this game was still alternating, everyone could see that Gu Yihua's stamina was constantly declining.

Especially in some seesaw rallies, often a point would take more than a dozen shots to decide. Gu Yihua had to rush left and right in his half-court to save the ball. Sometimes Su Xinghui deliberately showed a flaw, and he had to decisively jump and smash. Such a style of play was a huge drain on his stamina.

Gu Yihua certainly knew Su Xinghui's intention, but he was also helpless. Su Xinghui was not a weakling, and his ball skills were also quite impressive. If Gu Yihua didn't go all out, he feared he would collapse like a mountain and suffer a crushing defeat.

It wasn't that Gu Yihua hadn't thought about simply giving up the second game to save his stamina for a decisive third game, but he knew that if he did that, Su Xinghui's morale would definitely soar, and his own spirit wouldn't be able to hold up.

Therefore, he could only grit his teeth now, hoping to hold on and win the second game, thereby winning the entire match.

However, Su Xinghui was simply too cunning. He persisted in using the pull-and-hang tactic to mobilize Gu Yihua, which made Gu Yihua's stamina consumption greater than all the previous rounds combined. When the second game reached the second half, Gu Yihua felt his two legs were like they were filled with lead and no longer belonged to him.

Su Xinghui keenly noticed that Gu Yihua's state was wrong. He decisively accelerated the speed and increased the power of his attacks. He attacked with several shots in a row. If it were at the beginning of the match, Gu Yihua should have been able to return them easily.

But now it was different. Gu Yihua always felt he was a step slow. He either saved these attacks very reluctantly, giving Su Xinghui better opportunities to score, or he was directly scored on by Su Xinghui.

Just like that, Su Xinghui scored several points in the latter half and arduously won the second game.

Although the score was only one to one now, everyone could see that Gu Yihua's situation was gone, because Gu Yihua was now supporting his knees with both hands, opening his mouth and panting heavily.

Su Xinghui was still very kind and let Gu Yihua rest for a few more minutes, but he couldn't rest for too long, because it was already nearly five o'clock, and high-ranking leaders like Yu Jianyuan couldn't wait too long.

Therefore, after a brief rest, the third game between the two began.

Gu Yihua's footsteps became heavier and heavier. Su Xinghui established a huge advantage from the beginning, which left Gu Yihua powerless to turn things around. Finally, he only scored a pitiful three points in this game, and Su Xinghui won a big victory.

The result of the badminton final was that Su Xinghui defeated Gu Yihua 2 to 1 and won the championship in the badminton event. He didn't miss out on the championships for the three events he participated in, and he became the triple crown winner of this competition.

Zhang Zhongshan, Qian Wenyu, and others were all cheering for Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui also raised his arms and shouted, but Gu Yihua couldn't hold on anymore. After the match ended, he collapsed on the floor, panting with his chest heaving.

This match was simply too much of a drain on his stamina.

After a brief celebration, Su Xinghui threw down his racket and stepped forward to pull Gu Yihua up. After intense exercise, one cannot lie down and rest directly; one must walk slowly for a while.

Gu Yihua certainly knew this principle, but he was simply too tired, which is why he lay on the ground.

Now that Su Xinghui pulled him up, he certainly knew Su Xinghui had good intentions. After walking a few steps, he said to Su Xinghui, "Secretary Su, you are indeed impressive. I am convinced!"

Yu Jianyuan presented the medal and trophy to Su Xinghui for the third time. This time, he smiled and gave Su Xinghui a thumbs up. Although he didn't speak, everyone saw this scene, and one by one, they were filled with envy and jealousy.

To be able to get a thumbs up from Yu Jianyuan, what kind of honor was that?

After presenting the award, Yu Jianyuan left without staying to eat here. He didn't know how busy his daily work was. Being able to spare so much time today was already very rare. He now had to attend another event.

Zhang Zhongshan prepared to let He Lin and the other party school leaders participate in their dinner, but He Lin also refused with a smile, saying that he would let the students go to dinner by themselves, and he also had an event to attend in the evening.

Thus, the students went out to dinner by themselves. On weekends, students were not strictly required to eat in the school cafeteria.

Everyone going out to dinner today was also to celebrate the successful conclusion of these four competitions.

Today's competitions could indeed be called a successful conclusion. These students' organizational abilities were top-notch. When they organized an activity, naturally, there wouldn't be any mistakes.

Su Xinghui, the sports committee member, also spent a lot of effort for this competition. The competition format was determined very scientifically, and professional referees were invited, so the tournament was very fair and also very spectacular.

Most importantly, the final was watched by leaders like Yu Jianyuan, which allowed this competition to achieve a very good purpose.

Therefore, the students were very happy today. Even those who didn't get a good ranking were very happy. At least they had seen Yu Jianyuan twice since coming to this short-term training class. If it were normal times, they might not have such an opportunity in their whole lives.

They had already booked a large private room in a hotel near the party school. The large private room had two huge dining tables and could seat thirty or forty people. All the students could sit down, and even the several referees from today came along.

Before coming, Zhang Zhongshan had already asked his secretary to order the dishes, so as soon as they arrived, the hotel began to serve the dishes.

Zhang Zhongshan picked up a glass of wine and said to Su Xinghui and Fu Minzhong with a smile, "Secretary Su, Secretary Fu, I toast you both. Congratulations on winning the championship today!"

Su Xinghui and Fu Minzhong picked up their wine glasses together and had a drink with Zhang Zhongshan.

Fu Minzhong said with a smile, "If it weren't for Secretary Su only signing up for three events, I'm afraid this championship of mine would be a bit unreliable."

Su Xinghui said, "Secretary Fu, don't say that. This championship of yours was also won by passing five levels and killing six generals. This championship of yours is well-deserved!"

All the students raised their glasses together to Su Xinghui and Fu Minzhong and said, "Come, let us also congratulate you on winning the championship!"

The students' toast, naturally, neither of them could refuse. They didn't even eat a bite of food before raising their glasses again to have a drink with everyone.

After these two glasses of wine, Zhang Zhongshan said, "Come, you two eat some food first, don't drink too fast."

After the two ate some food, everyone began to toast the two individually. Of course, they were also toasting each other.

Such an occasion was just the right time to bring the classmates closer together. ===== CHAPTER 4231 =====
