The competition is proceeding smoothly, but some people behind the scenes are starting to get impatient.
In the dimly lit alley, there were two figures, one taller and one shorter. The taller figure seemed somewhat impatient.
"Why did you call me here? What do you want me to do?"
There was a hint of exasperation in his voice; clearly, he was not content with being controlled by others.
A sigh echoed from the quiet alley, a sound that was both mocking and disdainful.
"What's your rush?"
His voice was clearly lowered, as if he didn't want the other person to know who he was.
"Here, go and get close to the people up there. As for the rest, I don't need to teach you, do I?"
The photo arrived, but it was too dark to make out who was in it. However, this didn't diminish the tall man's hesitation at all.
"Can...can we forget about it? I have someone I like right now."
When someone is liked in their heart, and you mention them, the joy surrounding them is palpable.
"Smack!"
A slap shattered the tall man's sweet mood, instantly lowering the atmosphere to zero. The short man, completely unfazed, lightly flicked his hand; the insult couldn't be clearer.
"I'm warning you one last time. You were the one who begged me for help in the first place. What, now that you've gotten what you wanted, are you trying to renege on your promise? Or have you been so flattered by these two women that you've lost your bearings?"
"Don't forget, what I could give you back then, I can take back everything now. I don't care what methods you use, you must meet my requirements, don't let me down!"
Late at night, the short man, fearing that bad news might leak out, didn't mention anything about himself or the other person.
"Yes, I understand. I will do as you say."
When the past was brought up, the tall man trembled uncontrollably, and his trembling voice pleased the short man.
"You'd better hurry."
After uttering those words, the short man vanished into thin air right before the tall man's eyes.
Night, cool breeze, an empty alley...
Connecting all these thoughts, the tall man suddenly collapsed to the ground. What kind of demon had he provoked? Had he made a deal with the devil?
The last trace of resentment in his heart dissipated, and after witnessing the horrific scene firsthand, the tall man completely gave up and became obedient.
After the tall man left, the person who had disappeared reappeared out of thin air, staring coldly at the deserted alleyway in the distance, before vanishing around another corner.
"Daughter, you must perform well today and prove those who look down on you wrong."
As soon as he got up in the morning, Li Laoda made breakfast.
Looking at the fried dough stick and two eggs in front of her, Li Yiyi was at a loss for words, glancing at Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting with a complicated expression, as if to say,
Parents, do you still believe in this?
"Honey, since you've participated, you should give it your all. Who knows, you might even win an award. Of course, it's okay if you don't; the important thing is to participate."
Ignoring her daughter's gaze, Jiang Yuting began to speak without hesitation.
Doesn't she know her daughter well enough? No matter where she is, once she sets her mind on something, she'll see it through. She knows with her eyes closed that her daughter will definitely get a score of sixty in this competition.
It's all about participation; who are you looking down on?
Li Yiyi was unconvinced by Jiang Yuting's words, but quickly lost her temper.
Actually, participation is the most important thing, and getting 60 points is also good.
With great power comes great responsibility.
With a score of 60, every teacher in every subject can send her into battle; if her score were even higher, wouldn't that be...?
A terrifying image flashed through Li Yi's mind, and she shook her head violently. "No, no, that's too horrible."
Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting asked the question knowingly, one fetching water and the other offering concerned greetings.
"Honey, are you alright? Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Here, have some water."
Li Yi took a sip of the water, then patted her chest with lingering fear.
She is absolutely the first person in history to be frightened by her own thoughts.
"Father, Mother, I'm alright."
On second thought, Li Yiyi remembered the eccentric characters in Jiang Yuting's dormitory.
"Mother, how are He Heng, Du Lan, and Ruan Jiao San doing?"
The daily problems left Li Yiyi dizzy, but the love story of He Heng and the other two made her eyes light up.
Jiang Yuting and Boss Li exchanged a quick glance, a glint in their eyes. Li Yiyi, however, was busy eating breakfast and missed the moment.
"What can happen? It's still the same. But daughter, we seem to have misunderstood He Heng. He Heng is actually a very good person."
"What?"
I could hardly believe my ears, or rather, I couldn't believe what my mother was saying.
Li Yi was so surprised that she hadn't even finished eating when she opened her mouth and asked...
"Mother, you didn't say something wrong, did you?"
Even someone like He Heng can be whitewashed, especially coming from Jiang Yuting's mouth. Li Yiyi feels the world has become surreal.
“Daughter, how could your mother be wrong? You’ll see next time you go and see for yourself.”
She chuckled softly, and in that chuckle, Li Yiyi seemed to see a hint of shyness. She turned to look at Boss Li.
Li Yiyi caught a glimpse of sadness in Li Laoda's eyes, and her heart skipped a beat. The fried dough stick in her mouth suddenly lost its flavor.
“Daughter, what I’m saying is true. You’ll see for yourself next time when you and your father go together. I would never lie to you.”
A hand was moving under the table, but Jiang Yuting remained expressionless as she reached down to reciprocate the person's warning.
Jiang Yuting spoke so frankly, even saying she would take her and her father to see it together. Her open and honest manner suggests there's nothing wrong with her.
