Ling Chengyan watched the match of this team and didn't feel much pressure. When she gathered the team for practice, she focused on tactical arrangements against the opponent. After a few matches, the team became increasingly convinced of Ling Chengyan's command authority, executing the strategies more thoroughly, and seeing her calm demeanor, they became less tense themselves.
While Ling Chengyan was actively preparing for the second round of competition, visitors arrived at the Huicheng Courtyard gate for the Ling Family.
Wang Liansheng rode his bike home after work and saw Zhou Xiuying and Wang Lianxiang supporting each other at the courtyard gate.
Zhou Xiuying had bound feet, wearing a blue-gray long gown and black pants with tied cuffs, a typical rural old lady attire. Wang Lianxiang, however, wore a shirt with a small floral print against a white background, which was seventy percent new, and she had a rather neat appearance, but noticeably restrained and tense.
