He Lingchuan chuckled: "Do you expect me to thank you?"
His expression was cold, as if he were looking at a stranger: "Shen Yanxi, didn't I make myself clear to you? Stop bothering me. Why do you still have to meddle in my business?"
He Lingchuan looked at the person standing in front of him with a cold expression, feeling extremely annoyed.
Shen Yanxi stood there in a daze, put down the guarantee in her hand, left a sentence, turned around and left: "You're really biting the hand that feeds you. No matter what happens to you in the future, don't come looking for me."
He Lingchuan watched the departing person with a cold expression, shrugging his shoulders with disdain: "Even if I'm desperate, I'd never beg you."
He picked up the guarantee slip that Shen Yanxi had thrown on the ground without a care, and sneered: "She actually believes what this kind of person says. She's really been protected too well."
How could someone as greedy as Xu's mother possibly reconcile with him?
Once He Lingchuan wins a prize in the competition and gains fame, Xu's mother will definitely continue to slander him.
He's seen plenty of people like that.
Standing next to He Lingchuan, Gu Chengze was both amused and exasperated: "Too naive."
Only someone like Shen Yanxi would believe the words of a scoundrel.
He Lingchuan casually placed the guarantee on the table and turned to immerse himself in his work.
He Lingchuan didn't leave the house once until the start of the competition.
...
After finally making it to the start of the competition, He Lingchuan felt inexplicably nervous.
Zhang Ying must know that he is going to participate in this competition. He Lingchuan is worried that he will try to sabotage the competition, and is even more afraid that he will bribe the judges.
Seeing his worry, Gu Chengze smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous. Professor Zhao just called me and told you not to worry. He had already told the judges not to be biased or corrupt, so you just need to perform at your normal level."
He Lingchuan looked surprised: "Professor Zhao made arrangements in advance?"
"It's not about bribery, but at least it gives you a fair and just competition environment."
He Lingchuan slowly tightened his grip on Gu Chengze's hand, his eyes reddening: "I never expected that Professor Zhao would do this for me..."
He must have guessed long ago that Zhang Ying would tamper with things, which is why he instructed them to contact the judges in advance.
He Lingchuan remembered that after he came to teach at the school, he stepped out of the professors' research circle.
Even if they are old friends, they probably haven't been in touch for a long time.
Professor Zhao is usually a person who doesn't care about fame or fortune, so I never expected that he would contact these old friends for my sake this time.
He Lingchuan felt guilty just thinking about it.
Because of himself, Professor Zhao was forced to leave the school, and now, also because of himself, he is forced to contact friends he hasn't seen in a long time.
He Lingchuan couldn't imagine what those people would say about Professor Zhao. He wished he could go find Professor Zhao right now and thank him in person.
Gu Chengze saw through his thoughts and patted He Lingchuan on the shoulder to encourage him: "Professor Zhao asked me to tell you all this so that you won't get distracted. He wants you to get a good ranking more than anyone else, so don't let him down."
He Lingchuan nodded firmly: "Don't worry."
Even if it wasn't for himself, but for Professor Zhao's sake, he had to get a ranking.
Half an hour later, He Lingchuan arrived at the competition venue with his work and followed the staff to the waiting area.
The anxiety he had felt moments before had now subsided. He Lingchuan took a deep breath, looking at the people coming and going around him, and felt inexplicably excited.
He couldn't wait to see other people's work.
Creators like them need to go out and learn from time to time.
Sometimes, the works of others can inspire them.
Just as he was waiting, He Lingchuan heard footsteps behind him.
He thought they were contestants and didn't take it seriously.
As the footsteps grew closer, He Lingchuan was about to make way for the person behind him when he heard a mocking voice: "I didn't expect to see you here. Did Xixi give you the invitation?"
The voice was all too familiar. He Lingchuan paused, frowning as he looked at the person behind him: "Zhou Mingyan? What a small world."
How come I can see this person everywhere?
"I should be the one saying that."
Zhou Mingyan's eyes flickered, a hint of hatred flashing in them: "I really didn't expect that Xixi would give such an important vote to you."
He had actually gotten the tickets a long time ago, but he still deliberately tested Shen Yanxi, and unexpectedly she said that she had given the tickets to a friend.
Zhou Mingyan initially only made guesses until he saw He Lingchuan.
He pressed on aggressively, no longer hiding his anger: "I really didn't expect you to be so shameless. This ticket was easy to get, wasn't it? Xixi would rather give it to you than give it to me. You're very proud of yourself, aren't you?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
He Lingchuan looked Zhou Mingyan up and down: "This ticket was given to me by someone else, it has nothing to do with Shen Yanxi."
He sensed something was wrong from Zhou Mingyan's words. The reason this man was so angry with him was because Shen Yanxi hadn't given him the ticket.
He was somewhat surprised. Hadn't Shen Yanxi always considered Zhou Mingyan her number one priority? How could she possibly give her vote to someone else?
He Lingchuan was somewhat surprised and asked Zhou Mingyan in disbelief, "She really didn't give you the ticket?"
Why would I lie to you?
Zhou Mingyan looked at He Lingchuan with hostility: "It must be you who used the child as an excuse to ask Xixi for help."
He tilted his head back, his eyes arrogant: "He Lingchuan, don't think you can use your child as leverage to sow discord between me and Xixi. She's just giving you a ticket. Don't be too smug."
Zhou Mingyan stood in front of He Lingchuan to assert his dominance, eager for everyone to know about his relationship with Shen Yanxi.
He Lingchuan was both amused and exasperated. He spread his hands, looking helpless: "I'll say it again, this ticket was given to me by someone else, and it has nothing to do with Shen Yanxi."
He curled his lip in disdain: "Only people like you need tickets as a stepping stone to this kind of competition. I'm not like you."
After saying his last words, He Lingchuan turned his head away and never looked at Zhou Mingyan again.
Before the match started, he heard Zhou Mingyan making threats behind his back.
He Lingchuan didn't even turn his head; he was already used to this kind of behavior.
The first competition is the preliminary round; those who pass the preliminary round can advance to the final round.
According to the competition rules, only ten people can successfully enter the finals, but this time, a total of one hundred designers participated in the competition.
He Lingchuan was very confident; he believed he would definitely make it to the finals.
He Lingchuan followed the staff to the competition venue, where he explained his design concept, which quickly gained the approval of the judges.
However, some people felt that the chip was impractical: "Although this is a competition, the purpose of creating products is to serve the people. Your chip is very good, but the cost is too high, so it may not be suitable for ordinary people."
