Chapter 546: Chapter 533: Ten Percent Power

“If it’s really going to be like that, we will have to come up with a suitable name for this match…”

“What’s a good name, though? I really can’t think of anything on the spot. If we really can’t come up with anything, we could ask a fortune teller to give us a character to make a nice name that’ll bring us good luck.”

“Actually, why not just ask the county lord to name it? We could even get a piece of his calligraphy, now that would be the real deal.”

Zhuang Jingye’s excitement grew as he spoke, even his nose was getting a bit red.

Zhuang Qingning, “…”

Wasn’t she just doing a task?

Suddenly she felt, as a butterfly that flutters its wings, she was under a huge amount of pressure.

Chu Jinnian, who was sitting next to her, listened for a while, then stroked his chin.

Exchanging goods for a name, mutually beneficial, this ingenious method could only be thought of by a clever person like Zhuang Qingning.

But, this method, could also work in many official tasks as well as in business.

Chu Jinnian looked at Zhuang Qingning, a glint flashing in his eyes.

“Thud…”

The bamboo whistle blew, the players on the field came to a standstill, quickly running down for a break, and to drink some water.

“Is it a pause?” Chu Jinzhou asked Zhuang Qingsui and Zhuang Mingli who were on his side.

“Yes, halftime lasts as long as it takes to finish a cup of tea, the second half will start, each half lasts for one stick of incense.”

Zhuang Qingsui answered with a smile, “As for the first half, I saw the red team score three goals, while the blue team only got one. By the end, the red team will certainly win.”

“I actually think the blue team might win.” Chu Jinzhou said thoughtfully, “The red team looks strong, each person seems good, but it seems that they don’t really cooperate with each other. On the other hand, the blue team members aren’t outstanding individually, but they are very united when they’re together.”

“How about we make a bet, sister Qingsui predicts the red team will win, and brother Jinzhou thinks the blue team will win. If anyone guesses wrong, they have to copy out a written piece?” Zhuang Mingli suggested.

“That’s a good idea.” Zhuang Qingsui nodded in agreement, “But if we’re betting, and the loser has to copy out text, what about you?”

“As for me, I’m going to supervise you two, no chickening out…”

“So after all this talk, one of us will definitely have to copy text, but you don’t have to do anything. I think you’re the cheekiest.”

“Exactly.” Chu Jinzhou chimed in, “I think it’s better this way, Mingli should just pick both sides.”

“What do you mean by picking both sides?”

“Meaning, regardless of who loses, you will follow the loser’s side and copy the text as well?”

“That’s a good idea, let’s do it that way!”

“Ah…I’m going to make a big loss then…”

The three children immediately started playfully bantering, laughing and chuckling, prompting Zhuang Qingning to heave a sigh while shaking her head and wearing a doting smile, “The match will start soon, you should start watching too.”

“Alright…” The three of them elongated their replies, settling down to watch the football match again.

Seeing them quiet down, Zhuang Qingning chuckled to herself.

Chu Jinnian also smiled knowingly, his gaze at Zhuang Qingning was as soft as can be.

Because they had already seen some results in the first half, the second half of the match was far more intense. The children on the field were doing their best to kick the ball into the opponent’s goal.
