Zhou Mingyan clenched his teeth, his face trembling with anger. He Lingchuan knew he had touched a nerve, so he added, "If you're so capable, then don't plagiarize other people's entries, and don't rely on women."

His achievement was definitely due to Shen Yanxi's help.

If He Lingchuan were a judge, he would eliminate Zhou Mingyan's work first.

After mocking Zhou Mingyan, He Lingchuan didn't even bother to look at him.

He turned to leave, but Zhou Mingyan grabbed his wrist. He deliberately raised his voice to attract the attention of those around him: "Mr. He, are you saying that my work is not qualified to enter the top ten? I know you won first place, but you are far too arrogant. You simply do not take the other contestants seriously."

Zhou Mingyan seemed to have forgotten how he had just been ridiculed by the crowd. He tried to incite the anger of the others and get them to stand on his side.

Unexpectedly, they all recognized He Lingchuan, and some even came specifically to ask him for advice.

"Mr. He, what technology did you use in this chip to make it compatible with all robots? Could you teach me?"

"And what's the working principle behind your robot's movements? How come I can't make such a smooth arm?"

"Mr. He, what work do you plan to use to participate in the finals? Could you give us a little hint?"

Zhou Mingyan stared at the person next to him in disbelief, his mouth agape in astonishment.

He grabbed one of the men's hands and questioned him with a puzzled look: "Don't you see the news? Don't you know that his robot had an accident? He caused a death, a human death!"

Hearing his words, the man shook his head indifferently: "So what? It's all because of these consumers blindly following the crowd. Anyway, everyone I know who has bought the robot says it works well, and no one has asked for a refund."

"Exactly, the fact that they broke the robot shows they didn't maintain it properly. How come mine didn't break?"

They each said one sentence, and every sentence was in defense of He Lingchuan.

Even He Lingchuan himself didn't expect that someone here would actually recognize his skills.

He looked puzzled and tentatively asked them, "You're on my side?"

Shouldn't they be from Chengfeng Group?

Just when He Lingchuan thought they were going to say he was being presumptuous, one of them suddenly spoke up: "Mr. He, we are all designers. We know very well how much effort you put into making this robot. Do you think we don't know whether this robot is good or not?"

"That's right. Laymen may not know, but we insiders know very well. Unfortunately, we are too weak to help you prove your innocence."

"It's because Chengfeng Group is too powerful; we are no match for them at all."

As designers, their dream was also to collaborate with Chengfeng Group.

It wasn't until their friends suffered losses that they realized Chengfeng Group was nothing special.

Some of them, like He Lingchuan, came to participate in this competition hoping to make a name for themselves so that they wouldn't be suppressed by Chengfeng Group.

He Lingchuan hadn't expected that they had the same experience as him. He felt some sympathy for these people and admired their courage. He held their hands, his face full of gratitude: "Thank you, thank you for believing in me."

The contestants patted He Lingchuan gently on the shoulder, showering him with praise: "No need to thank me. We're all in the same boat."

"That's right, we should join forces to deal with Chengfeng Group and we must not let them monopolize the market."

He Lingchuan felt a lump in his throat. He hadn't expected that so many people had suffered the same fate as him at the hands of Chengfeng Group.

He was deeply moved and gently patted their shoulders: "Okay, we must work hard to get Chengfeng Group out of the domestic market."

...

The finals and the preliminary rounds were separated by two days. Before the competition, all the contestants would prepare all their products and then adjust them according to the competition requirements and the strength of other contestants.

He Lingchuan looked down at the drone in his hand and nodded in satisfaction: "Let's use this for the competition, what do you think?"

This drone has an automatic sensing function and an automatic alarm function. He Lingchuan also designed a backup battery. Unlike previous drones, this drone can be used as long as there is sunlight. If it is cloudy or rainy, the backup battery can be activated.

That's what makes this drone so ingenious.

besides……

He Lingchuan glanced out the window: "There are some things that are not convenient to say. You'll find out about the hidden features during the competition."

Gu Chengze frowned slightly, puzzled. He looked in the direction He Lingchuan was looking and vaguely saw a figure. He immediately understood: "Okay, whatever you say."

As Gu Chengze spoke, he tiptoed toward the window. He suddenly stopped, and taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, he flung open the window and jumped out, kicking the man in the shoulder.

His face was contorted with anger as he grabbed the man by the collar and demanded, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The man held his head in his hands, stammering and refusing to speak.

He Lingchuan slapped him on the shoulder: "If you don't tell me, I'll call the police."

He Lingchuan could vaguely tell who this person was from his clothes.

He grabbed the man's wrist and pulled him outside, saying, "I'm warning you, if I call the police now, you might miss the finals."

Upon hearing this, the man immediately squatted down and begged for mercy: "No, don't call the police, I'll talk, I'll tell you everything."

He Lingchuan and Gu Chengze exchanged a glance, then frowned and questioned him, "Tell me, why aren't you preparing your own work? What are you doing here?"

"I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to see your work and find some inspiration."

"Looking for inspiration? I think you're just trying to plagiarize."

Gu Chengze stared at him with displeasure, his eyes filled with anger: "Why would someone like you participate in a competition? You'd be better off just being a thief."

As he spoke, Gu Chengze dragged him toward the parking lot: "I'll take you to the police station now, you can go and explain to the police."

"No, please, Mr. He, please let me go for the sake of us being in the same profession."

The man suddenly knelt down, kowtowing and pleading with He Lingchuan, "I finally made it to the finals, please, please let me go."

He Lingchuan looked at him coldly: "You stole my idea, but you expect me to let you off? Why should I?"

He Lingchuan raised his hand, signaling Gu Chengze to call the police: "This kind of person will be a menace if released. He must be punished accordingly."
