Chapter 231: Competition
In the blink of an eye, it is another midsummer, the sun is scorching, and the cicadas are chirping.
The research projects of Lu Siyin, Jin Zijun and Qi Jin are coming to an end smoothly, and there is only less than a month left before the World Materials Innovation Competition.
During this period of time, Lu Siyin wanted to live in the research institute to finish the work.
Another all-nighter, her eyes were red, she yawned, her hair was messy, and she went to the tea room with a coffee cup.
While waiting for the coffee, she felt like she could fall asleep and have a dream.
When she came out of the tea room, she met a few people.
Lu Siyin squinted and looked at them for a while, and then she recognized Xie Ruiliang among them. His rosy face looked like he was doing well.
"After finishing the work today, the project will be successfully completed. Thank you for your hard work." Gao Yulin, the captain of the team, said politely to everyone. "
Brother Gao, there is absolutely no problem with our project. According to the strength of our team, we can definitely win the M Award." Wang Xin said proudly.
The highest award of the World Materials Innovation Competition is the O Award, followed by the M Award, H Award, S Award and U Award. The O Award is naturally the most valuable and the most difficult. The most recent O Award in China was the achievement of Lu Jingshu a few years ago.
Before Lu Jingshu, China had not won the highest honor for many years.
As you can imagine, the difficulty is unimaginable.
On the contrary, the S Award and U Award are equivalent to participation awards, which have no gold content and are just a consolation.
"Yes, not to mention that with the addition of Xie Ruiliang, our project has become much richer. This time it's definitely the M Award." Yao Jie patted Xie Ruiliang on the shoulder.
Xie Ruiliang smiled slightly and said modestly: "Everyone has made a great contribution."
"How about being with us? Isn't it ten thousand times better than your previous team?" Wang Xin looked at him expectantly.
"Of course," Xie Ruiliang smiled sarcastically: "Jin Zijun has the ability, but his vision is not very good. He treats a burden as a treasure."
"I know this one, it seems to be called Lu Siyin, a newcomer who was forced in by the dean." Gao Yulin said.
"Ah," Wang Xin was surprised, "He got in through the back door. That's so irresponsible. Jin Zijun is really something."
Xie Ruiliang nodded in agreement, "I think so too. Besides, it's hard for them to continue with that project halfway through. Not to mention a newcomer who drags them down, Jin Zijun and the dean will always regret it."
"That's right," Yao Jie said, "After all, there is only one Lu Jingshu in the world."
"Fortunately, I stopped the loss in time and came here." Xie Ruiliang thanked.
They talked in a frivolous way, not caring about the public occasion.
When Lu Siyin walked in front of them, they acted as if they had just discovered her, shut their mouths, and rolled their eyes.
When they were about to pass by, Lu Siyin stretched out her hand. "What are you
doing?" Xie Ruiliang looked at her with hostile eyes.
"Nothing," Lu Siyin took a sip of bitter coffee and said, "You must have a good lung capacity to be able to blow so much."
"You..." Xie Ruiliang was speechless.
"Why are you questioning the ability of our team?" Gao Yulin said to Lu Siyin.
Lu Siyin: "You are so arrogant. Is there an animal association to protect you?"
Others: "..."
"You can't get the M award!" She said with some regret.
"What did you say?" Wang Xin was angry: "Why do you say that we can't get it? Can you get it? Why are you pretending to be fat here?"
"We can't get it either." Lu Siyin said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Just as the others uttered a mocking sound, they heard Lu Siyin say slowly and calmly: "We will win the O prize!"
"Oh," Yao Jie said, "You are really good at talking big. Do you think the O prize is so easy to get?"
Even if they are so confident, they are not sure of getting the O prize. They have been aiming for the M prize from the beginning to the end!
Lu Siyin nodded without any psychological burden: "Yes, it is very easy to get! No way, no way, there will be no one who doesn't think he can get the O prize!"
Xie Ruiliang and others: "..."
You are aloof, you are great...
They couldn't utter a word for a long time, and finally could only stammer and say something cruel and innocuous: "Just wait! I'll see how you get the O prize! Don't let me not even get a consolation prize!"
Lu Siyin smiled unchanged: "I am also looking forward to it!"
She continued to walk forward leisurely, looking without any pressure.
Xie Ruiliang and the others were suddenly unsure.
"It's impossible. China hasn't had an O Award in a few years. They won't let a newcomer like her who knows nothing win it. It's ridiculous." Wang Xin affirmed. "
Indeed, don't let her mess with your mentality." Gao Yulin said.
Xie Ruiliang also felt that he was crazy, otherwise how could he think that Lu Siyin, a rookie, could win the award?
He shook his head and threw away the ridiculous guess in his mind, with a mocking look on his face. He really looked forward to seeing Jin Zijun and the others disappointed and returning empty-handed.
...
One month later
Lu Siyin had followed the team to Country L, the location of the World Materials Innovation Competition, a week ago.
The entire competition was broadcast live to all parts of the world, and every aspect of the competition was open to the public without blind spots, so the players had no chance to cheat.
"When does the competition start?" Zhou Zipei, who was on the other side of the video, was sitting in the president's office on the top floor of the group.
Lu Siyin raised her hand and casually tied a neat bun on her head, biting a rubber band in her mouth, and said vaguely: "There are still two or three hours."
"Haven't you set off yet?" Zhou Zipei asked with a smile.
"The competition venue is very close, and we will be there in less than half an hour." Lu Siyin took the rubber band away from his mouth.
"It's finally almost over." Zhou Zipei suddenly sighed.
Lu Siyin: "...I haven't said anything yet, why do you seem to have complaints about my research?"
Zhou Zipei raised his eyebrows: "Yes, count carefully, just for this research, how many days have you been eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in the institute, we even rarely talk face to face."
Lu Siyin recalled: "It seems so."
Zhou Zipei: "Every time you ignore me, when I stare at your profile picture in a daze, it's as if I'm keeping vigil for you again."
Lu Siyin: "..."
"You can't speak, or you'd better not talk!"
"Hey," Zhou Zipei suddenly sighed, and said calmly: "That year I caught a cicada, and I thought I caught it for the whole summer. Unexpectedly, the cicada said: I don't love you, please don't catch me."
Lu Siyin listened to his implicit accusation and sneered, and was silent for a few seconds, and then: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha." He broke into a deafening laugh.
"Hahaha what the hell Zhou Zipei, you're so cold! Is it true that you don't need to turn on the air conditioner there? You are enough!"
Zhou Zipei laughed with her for a while and said, "Don't be nervous. It's getting late. Let's go! I'm waiting for your good news. Come on!"
"Yeah."
Lu Siyin was moved to tears. It turned out that he had already seen that she was so nervous that she was sweating! After
being interrupted by Zhou Zipei, she was not so anxious. She packed up and set off to the competition venue with renewed vigor.
