Gu Chengze smiled and patted He Lingchuan on the shoulder: "We believe in you."
In order to obtain this invitation, besides Professor Zhao, he had also been looking for others, because he didn't want such a promising talent as He Lingchuan to be wasted.
He doesn't care what he does, since he has no talent anyway, but He Lingchuan is different; he's the school's recognized genius.
He had to help He Lingchuan gain a foothold in this industry.
He Lingchuan's eyes were full of gratitude. He knew there was nothing he could do but repay them with his achievements.
Especially Professor Zhao, He Lingchuan asked with his head down and his voice weak, "How is Professor Zhao now?"
Gu Chengze raised an eyebrow, looking at him with some surprise: "Haven't you contacted Professor Zhao?"
"No."
He hadn't seen Professor Zhao since the last time he caused Professor Zhao to leave the school.
He called Professor Zhao several times, but Professor Zhao did not answer.
Gu Chengze was completely bewildered. He scrolled through his chat history and found it increasingly strange: "This shouldn't be the case. Professor Zhao called me a few days ago to ask how you were doing. Why isn't he answering your calls?"
He Lingchuan also found it strange: "Professor Zhao is not the kind of person who acts impulsively. He won't blame me for causing him to leave the school. I'm worried that he can't meet with me because of some people."
Gu Chengze was very clever and immediately understood his thoughts: "You suspect that Professor Zhao has been threatened?"
He Lingchuan nodded: "That's very possible, but I'm just guessing. The only person who could have kidnapped Professor Zhao to prevent him from contacting me is Zhang Ying, but he probably wouldn't take that risk."
Even though Professor Zhao has left the school, he is still a leader in the field. No matter how bold Zhang Ying is, he cannot directly threaten him.
He Lingchuan racked his brains until his head ached, but he still couldn't figure out who this person was.
Although he couldn't be sure whether Professor Zhao had been threatened by someone, it was indeed very strange that he hadn't contacted him.
He Lingchuan frowned, feeling that there was more to this than met the eye.
He suddenly thought of Cao Xue, and considering Cao Xue's unusual behavior, he boldly guessed: "Do you think this might also be related to Cao Xue?"
Faced with his doubts and speculations, Gu Chengze only found it amusing: "What does this have to do with her? She's just a woman who can't even kill a chicken."
Gu Chengze thought this was unlikely, but Professor Zhao's lack of contact with He Lingchuan was indeed suspicious.
The two of them sat together and discussed it for the entire afternoon, but they still couldn't figure out why Professor Zhao wasn't contacting He Lingchuan.
In the end, Gu Chengze suggested taking the initiative to go and ask him, but He Lingchuan did not agree immediately and even began to back down.
Gu Chengze looked at him with a puzzled expression, grabbed his wrist, and was about to lead him out.
Just as he reached the door, He Lingchuan suddenly spoke up: "Do you think it's possible that Professor Zhao is disappointed in me?"
This was the only reason He Lingchuan could think of.
He looked up at Gu Chengze nervously: "I'm really scared. I'm afraid that Professor Zhao is unwilling to contact me because he's disappointed in me."
He Lingchuan was somewhat disappointed. His hands hung limply, and the image of Professor Zhao's slightly weathered face appeared in his mind.
“Chengze, do you know how much Professor Zhao was looking forward to my work? He wanted me to do well more than anyone else, but what have I done? I have let him down.”
He Lingchuan felt extremely guilty, and Gu Chengze sighed helplessly, unsure how to comfort him.
A few minutes later, He Lingchuan raised his head, looking ready to die: "No matter what the cost, I must win the championship."
He only has this one chance to turn the tide, and he absolutely cannot let it slip away.
Gu Chengze looked at him with the same firm expression: "Don't worry, we definitely won't let Professor Zhao down this time."
For a whole week, He Lingchuan studied the entries for the competition.
His previous robot design could not be used in the competition, so he could only create something new based on the original design.
Over the course of a few days, He Lingchuan looked much more haggard, but also more profound, especially his eyes, which were deep and unfathomable, making him appear even more masculine.
He Lingchuan's plan this time is to create an advanced chip, and the difficulty of this advanced chip lies in the fact that He Lingchuan hopes it can be adapted to all robots.
Whether it's a new or old robot, as long as it's equipped with an advanced chip, it can automatically update its program and gain the ability to act on its own.
This way, even if the robot breaks down, you can simply replace a chip to achieve the original effect.
Manufacturing advanced chips was not difficult for He Lingchuan; what really gave him a headache was compatibility.
He Lingchuan rubbed his temples. He hadn't eaten much for three days in a row, burying himself in the project, which caused him to lose weight.
Gu Chengze couldn't bear to watch any longer and couldn't help but advise him, "Ling Chuan, do you want to rest for a while? Even if you want to win, you can't neglect your health."
He Lingchuan would definitely not be able to keep up if things continued like this, and Gu Chengze even considered forcibly taking him out.
He Lingchuan didn't even look up, waving his hand with his back to him: "Time is tight, I can't rest."
Gu Chengze stood behind him, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
The matter that He Lingchuan had asked him to investigate had yielded some results. He was right; Cao Xue did indeed have her own ideas.
He clenched his fists, unsure whether he should tell He Lingchuan the truth.
He hesitated, opening his mouth several times before falling silent again.
He Lingchuan felt the person behind him staring at him, and suddenly turned around: "Is there something you want to say to me?"
Hearing his words, Gu Chengze pursed his lips. He originally wanted to wait until the end of the competition to tell him, but he was worried that his presumption would put Cao Xue in danger.
He pinched his wrist hard and said without hesitation, "At least the matter you asked me to investigate has yielded results. Cao Xue is indeed making plans. According to my investigation, she should be trying to break away from her father."
"What's the meaning?"
Upon hearing Cao Xue's words, He Lingchuan immediately sat up. Especially when Gu Chengze said the last sentence, his eyes widened in disbelief: "You said she's trying to leave her father? She told me she wants to leave Zhang Qiang."
"Isn't Zhang Qiang now her father's man?"
Gu Chengze didn't find out much. He originally wanted to keep the fact that He Lingchuan and Zhang Qiang also planned to participate in the competition a secret.
But seeing him like this, he decided to tell the whole story.
If something were to happen to Cao Xue, He Lingchuan wouldn't blame him for being too clever for his own good.
"It seems she intends to completely sever ties with the Cao family, but I heard that Cao Xue had this idea before she met you, so it shouldn't matter much for her to do this."
