I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 46 “Secret Weapon”

Speaking of Li Lifen, she is also a legend in the Jinghai Dongfangxing system.

I heard that he was just a temporary worker in the city branch office, and he went to a correspondence technical secondary school, where he was responsible for typing in the typing and copying room.

She types very fast and accurately. It is said that when she types, she just holds a book and asks people to read it, and after they finish reading, she types exactly as she should.

He won first prize in a typing competition held by the provincial branch, bringing honor to the municipal branch. He was later made a full-time employee and, I heard, was about to be promoted to deputy director of the office.

Ever since the Jinghai District Dongxing System held a skills competition, she has been the first in every typing competition, almost without fail, and has won the competition prize every year. Of course, this has caused dissatisfaction among employees of other branches, but none of them has succeeded in the challenge.

Hearing Zhang Rong suddenly say this, Fang Qingye suddenly became interested: "What do you have in mind?"

Zhang Rong didn't answer directly, but asked, "Where's Sister Liu?"

"She is in the counterfeit money identification team. Call her over?" Fang Qingye said.

"Ah."

Fang Qingye took out his cell phone and called Liu Meili. A few minutes later, he saw Liu Meili coming down from upstairs.

"Go ahead." Fang Qingye said.

"Most people use Wubi in typing competitions, but I'm different. I use Sogou Pinyin," said Zhang Rong.

Liu Meili was a bit surprised. "Huh? I've only heard of Smart ABC, Smart Shuangpin, and Microsoft Pinyin Input Method, but not Sogou?"

"Sogou is also a pinyin input method. Its biggest advantage is its powerful association function, which allows users to create new words and even sentences. However, this input method has only been around for less than two years and has not yet become popular," Fang Qingye explained.

"Fang Qingye is right, Sister Liu, I can demonstrate it to you." Having said that, Zhang Rong looked at Fang Qingye again:
"Have you downloaded Sogou Input Method on your computer?"

Fang Qingye nodded.

Although he usually uses Wubi, who doesn't know Sogou?
"Then let me use it."

Fang Qingye did not refuse and entered the General Office. After turning on his computer, Zhang Rong sat in front of the computer, opened a blank Word document, and typed a line of words.

"See? I used Sogou's association function, so next time I can type this line of words very quickly." After saying that, Zhang Rong only typed a few letters and the line of words appeared on the screen.

"This is faster than Wubi!" Liu Meili discovered immediately.

"Yes, this is the powerful function of Sogou's association word and sentence creation." Zhang Rong explained:

"Typing competitions in our bank usually use bank reports. Many of the words and sentences in them are technical terms that can't be input using the usual phonetic alphabet. For example, we use Sogou to create these words in advance. After typing them a few times, they will appear at the beginning of the phrase. For example, like this."

Zhang Rong created the phrase "连三累六" and typed the pinyin repeatedly, and the phrase appeared at the front.

"See? This is the power of Sogou Input Method! If we add in more practice to our typing speed, even if Li Lifen is already over 40, I don't believe we can't beat her!"

"Well, your idea is good, but I have a question," said Liu Meili.

"what is the problem?"

"You're using the Sogou input method on Xiaofang's computer. Will you still be able to use these words if you switch computers? You can't carry Xiaofang's computer to the city during the competition."

"As long as you register a Sogou account, every time you log in, you will see these new words you created on any computer," Zhang Rong explained with a smile.

Liu Meili was a little unconvinced. She looked at Fang Qingye and believed it when she saw Fang Qingye nod.

"Zhang Rong, with your secret weapon, our unit might actually win the typing championship this time!" Liu Meili said with a smile. A hint of pride flashed across Zhang Rong's face, but it quickly faded. He added, "Sister Liu, I wonder if the city will allow me to use my preferred input method in the competition."

"I think there's no problem, but just to be on the safe side, I'll call the city branch tomorrow." Liu Meili said.

"Sister Liu, you'd better ask one more question. In addition to the input method I'm used to, can I bring my own keyboard?"

"What's the point of bringing a keyboard?" Liu Meili was confused.

"Getting used to your own keyboard will help improve your typing speed," Fang Qingye explained, adding, "Zhang Rong, I'm afraid your request won't work. Each participant should bring their own keyboard? Everyone using their own? The branch won't agree."

"That's right. There are forty people participating in the typing competition. Each of them has to carry a keyboard? That won't work." Liu Meili agreed.

"Hey, Sister Liu, I know bringing a keyboard isn't a good idea, but it's just a deception," Zhang Rong said with a smile. "I heard the people in the city branch union are quite old and only have a superficial understanding of computers. I'm doing this just to make them unaware of or indifferent to the existence of Sogou Input Method."

"Haha, Zhang Rong, you are smart enough." Liu Meili laughed after hearing this.

Fang Qingye also sighed in his heart, this guy is really scheming.

The next morning, Liu Meili called the organizers to inquire about the competition, and they quickly replied, "The city branch doesn't care about input methods. You can use whatever you like. But the keyboard must be provided by the city. Otherwise, if some branches ask to use their own computers, will they have to carry them to the city?!"

Ha ha
I've been waiting for you to say this.

Liu Meili and Zhang Rong were both very satisfied.

Fang Qingye had no objection to using Zhang Rong as a "secret weapon".

But he vaguely felt that things were not that simple.

The purpose of this typing competition was to improve the hands-on ability and overall quality of bank employees, but Zhang Rong adopted a tricky method.

Of course he wouldn't say anything nonsense. Since there is no prohibition, it is in line with the rules of the game.

The competition will be held on the last Sunday of July.

Since the various branches of Oriental Bank have staff on duty in shifts on Saturdays and Sundays and only handle private business and stop conducting corporate business, the business volume is relatively reduced, so most group activities are held on these two days.

On July 7, the annual Jinghai Oriental Bank System Skills Competition kicked off in the branch building. Team members representing the branch headquarters and seven branches gathered here to compete in four events.

The team members of Nanxin Branch arrived in the city the night before and stayed in a hotel not far from the branch building.

President Xia He led the team personally, and Vice President Su Ming, as well as the directors of the General Office Wu Shengli and Liu Meili all participated.

Fang Qingye didn't go.

There were only 15 official team members participating in this competition. One director and one business backbone from the General Office went to provide logistical services, which was enough. Fang Qingye felt that there was no need for him to go again, and it would also save the unit some travel expenses. Also, he had something going on at home.

Both reasons were very strong, and Wu Shengli approved it immediately.

In fact, he wanted to rest on the weekend - we should work hard, but don’t take up my rest time, I also want to go fishing on Sunday.

At nine o'clock the next morning, all the contestants gathered in the conference room on the 9th floor of the branch building. On behalf of the branch team, President Zhang of the Municipal Branch delivered a passionate speech, congratulating the contestants on their outstanding style and level of performance.
After the leaders finished speaking, they all left the venue, including the presidents of each branch. The remaining ones were the participating team members and service staff.

The game officially begins.
