He had originally been waiting to see the show with a schadenfreude in mind, but now, because of Lu Zheng's commotion, he had lost face instead.

Is this the kind of expert he hired? Completely lacking in cunning?

Looking at Lu Zheng, it's clear he's standing up for his own people without the slightest hesitation.

The contrast is striking.

Xia Ruo unconsciously clenched her fists.

A glint of shrewdness flashed in President Xia's eyes.

That's interesting...

Xia Ruo glared coldly at aiyleilin and said, "Mr. aiyleilin, don't forget the purpose of your trip."

Upon hearing this, Aiyleilin instantly calmed down, but her gaze remained fierce as she glared at Lu Zheng.

You like to stand out, huh? When the competition starts, he'll definitely kill this kid.

President Xia straightened his suit, then stood up and said, "Alright, now that everyone's here, I'll briefly explain the rules. It's getting late, and having you do programming might be too physically demanding for you."

"Go back to your hotels and get some rest tonight. I've already had my secretary prepare the competition requirements in a form; bring it to them."

President Xia nodded to his secretary.

The secretary agreed and went to get something, handing it to Lu Zheng: "Mr. Lu, take a look at this."

Lu Zheng took it and smiled slightly: "Thank you."

He smiled with great restraint, like a gentleman, and maintained a distance from his secretary when accepting the documents, which made the secretary feel a little more favorably disposed towards Lu Zheng...
