He Lingchuan looked at Beichen with a sincere expression. He gently rubbed Beichen's ear, and seeing that he was still hesitating, he took the initiative to hug him: "Unless Beichen doesn't want to be with his father, if that's the case..."

"I love my dad the most."

Bei Chen suddenly hugged He Lingchuan's shoulders, buried her head in his shoulder, and said in a muffled voice, "I don't want to be separated from Dad, never."

He Lingchuan patted Bei Chen's back gently, his face full of satisfaction.

After dropping the child off at school, He Lingchuan was about to leave when he heard Shen Yanxi's voice.

He didn't intend to pay attention and continued walking forward, but unexpectedly, Shen Yanxi suddenly rushed out and blocked his way with her arms outstretched.

He Lingchuan looked at her with some annoyance: "What exactly do you want? Can you please stop bothering me?"

Shen Yanxi looked disappointed. She glanced at He Lingchuan and took out a flyer from her bag: "Didn't you always want to go abroad to participate in the competition?"

Shen Yanxi didn't give He Lingchuan a chance to speak: "You've seen Chengfeng Group's attitude. If you want to establish yourself in China, unless Zhang Ying leaves this industry, your only way is to go abroad to participate in competitions and make a name for yourself."

Shen Yanxi waved the document in her hand, her tone serious: "This is an invitation letter I got through a friend. You can use this invitation letter to participate in an international AI competition."

He Lingchuan glanced at it briefly and recognized that the invitation was for the competition he had always wanted to participate in.

Since he doesn't have a company here and doesn't have any patents, he's been contacting friends to see if he can get a chance to participate in a competition.

He stared at the invitation for a long time, then looked at Shen Yanxi in disbelief: "Such a good thing, you just gave it to me like that?"

He Lingchuan still couldn't believe he would be so kind.

Shouldn't she have given the invitation to Zhou Mingyan first? Why did she give it to herself?

Do you want it or not?

Shen Yanxi gradually lost patience. She turned her head away, her words clearly concerned, but to others it sounded like a complaint: "If you don't want it, I'll give this invitation to someone else."

"etc."

He Lingchuan grabbed Shen Yanxi's wrist, staring intently into her eyes, trying to find a clue in her gaze: "This invitation isn't a trap, is it? Why didn't you give it to Zhou Mingyan?"

"He's not suited for this competition."

Shen Yanxi's eyes looked very sincere, and for a moment He Lingchuan thought he was seeing things.

Is he really the Shen Yanxi I know?

In his memory, all of Shen Yanxi's resources belonged to Zhou Mingyan. He could only obtain a little bit of resources if Zhou Mingyan didn't want them.

He didn't believe that Shen Yanxi would give him such an important invitation, so he could only confirm with her again and again.

Faced with his questioning gaze, Shen Yanxi laughed impatiently: "You always felt that I wasn't on your side before, and now I'm entrusting you with something so important, but you don't want it? What exactly do you mean by that?"

He Lingchuan handed the invitation to Shen Yanxi, looking at her expressionlessly and said, "Because Shen Yanxi has never been kind to me. She only has Zhou Mingyan in her heart."

He Lingchuan's expression was solemn, and his gaze towards him carried a hint of displeasure.

He had no intention of accepting the invitation and directly refused Shen Yanxi: "I appreciate your kindness, but I am not worthy of it. If Zhou Mingyan finds out that I took your invitation, he will definitely cause me trouble."

He Lingchuan pushed Shen Yanxi away and left without a second thought.

Shen Yanxi shouted as she looked in the direction he left, "He Lingchuan, you'll regret this!"

Upon hearing his words, He Lingchuan waved his hand dismissively and left resolutely.

...

After parting ways with Shen Yanxi, He Lingchuan received a call from Gu Chengze.

He was overjoyed, and He Lingchuan's mood improved as well.

"Why are you so happy? Is there any progress in Cao Xue's case?"

Upon hearing his words, Gu Chengze's tone immediately turned serious: "Besides Cao Xue, is there nothing else on your mind?"

He Lingchuan straightened up, unsure how to answer.

Gu Chengze had always spoken to him in this tone, and he knew that Gu Chengze was angry, and quite angry at that.

He Lingchuan frowned, wondering how to appease Gu Chengze, when he heard Gu Chengze reply with a helpless expression: "Lingchuan, I have some very good news to tell you, but please don't get too excited."

He Lingchuan readily agreed, but his face was full of doubt. What good thing could Gu Chengze be talking about?

He thought and thought, but still couldn't come up with an idea.

Knowing that Gu Chengze spoke up, "Ling Chuan, didn't you always want to participate in a competition abroad? At that time, we didn't have a way to get tickets. Yesterday, Professor Zhao suddenly called me and said that she had a friend who was a judge in that competition, and he helped us get an invitation to participate."

Gu Chengze was filled with excitement; he couldn't wait to go and share his joy with He Lingchuan.

Hearing his words, He Lingchuan's furrowed brows instantly relaxed: "Are you serious? Professor Zhao really got me the tickets?"

Gu Chengze was even more agitated than him: "How could I possibly lie to you?"

He couldn't wait any longer and wanted to go find He Lingchuan right now.

He Lingchuan was so excited he couldn't stop smiling, pacing back and forth in the study: "Chengze, as long as I can stand out and win a prize in an international competition, I will definitely gain recognition from industry professionals. At that time, I will definitely be able to open my own studio."

Even if Chengfeng Group rigs things behind the scenes, it doesn't matter, since this competition is highly prestigious.

Compared to Chengfeng Group, this award is more convincing.

While driving, Gu Chengze replied to He Lingchuan, "I believe you can definitely win a place in this competition. You were a genius at our school back then."

Even Professor Zhao, who has seen countless people, said that He Lingchuan was a type she had never seen before, and Gu Chengze had great confidence in his friend.

When He Lingchuan arrived at He Lingchuan's residence, he found that He Lingchuan had not yet recovered from his excitement.

Upon seeing Gu Chengze, He Lingchuan hugged him excitedly: "Thank you, Chengze, thank you so much. If it weren't for your continued support, I really don't know what I would be like now."

He Lingchuan always believed that Gu Chengze was the benefactor who helped him to be reborn. If Gu Chengze hadn't invited him to his studio, He Lingchuan couldn't imagine where he would have gone after the divorce.

If it weren't for Gu Chengze, Shen Yanxi probably wouldn't have changed her mind.

He looked at Gu Chengwo with excitement: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down, I will not let Professor Zhao down, I will definitely bring the championship back to you."
