Chapter 15 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack
Before Lin Wei could extend her hand, Fang Yihuai reached out first, touched her hand briefly, and then withdrew it. "Fang Yihuai." At this moment, he really had the air of a top student.
The group didn't know each other well, except for Gao Fuya, so they parted ways without much conversation. Once Gao Fuya's group was out of sight, Lin Wei looked at Fang Yihuai with a questioning expression and asked, "You don't like Gao Fuya?"
Fang Yihuai was startled when he heard this. "Pah, pah, pah! What do you mean by 'like' or 'don't like'? I'm not dating early, don't talk so ambiguously."
"I'm not admitting defeat, you know? Besides, with the three of us, isn't first place a piece of cake? Lin Wei, you're being too tactful. Be more assertive, learn from us, Zhang Mo, right?" He looked at Zhang Mo and said.
This time, Zhang Mo agreed with him, nodding and saying, "Mm."
Lin Wei: "What if we lose?"
Zhang Mo: "Losing is losing. It only proves that there are always people better than you and that there is always something beyond your understanding. You have to allow yourself to fail. No one can guarantee that they will never lose."
"Losing once is okay, just try not to lose a second time."
"But I don't want to lose." Lin Wei said this for reasons unknown.
At that moment, Fang Yihuai and Zhang Mo both looked at her. "I didn't realize you were so ambitious," Fang Yihuai said, breaking the silence.
Lin Wei countered, "Is there a problem?"
Fang Yihuai: "No problem, why would Miss Lin have a problem?"
Lin Wei sensed the teasing, rolled her eyes at him, and quickened her pace. Zhang Mo and Fang Yihuai quickly followed.
Because they booked the hotel together, the three of them stayed in rooms connected together, with Lin Wei sitting in the middle of the two rooms.
The three of them agreed on their respective tasks: one would be responsible for the presentation, one for the operation, and the other would provide supplementary information and answer the judges' questions.
This brings us to the rules of the competition. It consisted of two rounds: a preliminary round and a final round. The preliminary round required a PowerPoint presentation, while the final round involved operating a drone and answering questions. Lin Wei was ultimately responsible for the PowerPoint presentation.
So tomorrow is Lin Wei's home turf.
In the room, she opened the PowerPoint presentation and reviewed it again. After confirming that there were no errors in the template and content, she was still not at ease. Without referring to the notes, she insisted on entering the system space and giving a long lecture to the physics teacher inside, not caring about the robot's life or death.
After repeated warnings went unheeded, the two continued talking to themselves. Lin Wei didn't notice that when she was explaining for the hundredth time, the system space experienced a momentary lag, causing the content in the biology section to become disordered, with some advanced content mixed in with the lower-grade courses.
Even though the system corrected it in time, some things still couldn't be fixed.
The next day, the three of them got up early at the hotel. "Don't be nervous, this time it's up to you."
Lin Wei: "I'm not nervous." She then slapped Fang Yihuai's hand off her shoulder. She didn't know what was wrong with him; he leaned on Zhang Mo first, but now he was leaning on her like he had no bones.
Lin Wei would never admit that she thought he was too heavy. Besides, men and women shouldn't touch each other. Was it appropriate for a man like him to lean on her?
Zhang Mo clearly thought so too, and pulled him away with one hand, saying, "Fang Yihuai," he disagreed.
At this moment, Fang Yihuai realized that it was inappropriate and immediately stood up straight. "Ahem, I'm used to it, I'm used to it." He hadn't realized it was her. He thought to himself, "When did Zhang Mo become so short?"
When the three of them went downstairs, they ran into Gao Fuya and her group, whom they had met the day before. The two groups greeted each other and then went their separate ways, one taking a taxi to the competition school and the other walking.
Of course, the latter refers to Lin Wei and her group.
She looked at Fang Yihuai and Zhang Mo and asked, "Do we need to save this money? We've already spent the bulk of it, why worry about the small amount?"
Fang Yihuai: "You don't understand. Appropriate exercise can enhance brain activity. Anyway, there's still plenty of time, so what's the rush? There's no reward if you go too early."
Lin Wei: "Okay." It just felt a bit shabby; everyone else was taking a car, but they were walking. However, this distance was not difficult at all for someone who was used to walking mountain roads since childhood, so the three of them quickly arrived at Yunzhou University.
The moment Lin Wei stepped into the school gate, she saw Gao Fuya and her group facing off against each other. "Huh? What's going on?" Lin Wei looked at the scene in surprise.
Nearby, a kind person explained, "It seems that the person who provoked the woman knows her, and the two sides issued a challenge because of the competition."
Since this matter had nothing to do with Lin Wei and the others, they only glanced at it and left. However, as they passed the two groups, Lin Wei said, "We'll take the first place."
Immediately, everyone looked at them, watching them walk away, before finally bursting into voices, "So arrogant."
"First place, what a boastful tone."
Fang Yihuai and Zhang Mo, who had already walked away, looked at her with the eyes of someone seeing her for the first time, never expecting her to say such a thing.
Lin Wei looked at them innocently, "Didn't you tell me to be more domineering?"
Fang Yihuai said with some difficulty, "You're being too domineering." No one expected her to say such a thing, but it was really satisfying.
Because it was just a minor incident for them, the three of them quickly forgot about it. However, their words caused a huge uproar behind them.
"Who is this person?" someone who didn't recognize him asked.
A group of people shook their heads. "I don't know who she is, but I do know who the two men next to her are. One is Fang Yihuai, this year's top scorer in the S province middle school entrance exam. He participated in many math competitions in junior high school and is a very good person. The other is Zhang Mo, who ranked sixth in the province this year and also participated in many competitions. Anyway, both of them are very strong."
"Anyone who can partner with them must be quite formidable," she said, referring to the first place winner. Perhaps they really will take first place.
Gao Fuya and Chen Wei, who were issuing the challenge, were speechless.
Half an hour later, the speeches began. Lin Wei's group was drawn as the third group, which was not a good order. The judges would definitely set higher standards for the first few groups to speak, so they would not have an advantage in terms of scores.
However, Lin Wei wasn't worried at all. With such absolute strength, she figured she could just be a little less confident. It has to be said, she was getting a bit cocky.
Perhaps it was intuition, but she felt she would win.
When she went on stage after everyone else had finished speaking, her advantage became immediately apparent. She spoke entirely without notes, only occasionally using an infrared light to point things out to the audience.
"Our designed micro-drones can be used for exploration in a vacuum environment, can achieve absolute silence, and can reach a speed of 20 km/h, which is far beyond the reach of micro-drones of this size on the market."
His voice was clear and articulate, and his expression was confident, without any pauses or stumbles.
There were no dress requirements for the competition, and she was still wearing her high school uniform, a loose black and white one that looked exceptionally good on her, making her appear youthful and vibrant.
After seeing this, Qin Siyu finally understood why Gao Fuya considered her a competitor. She was indeed a formidable figure, especially after what she said. He glanced at the appreciative expressions on the judges' faces and knew that their chances of winning first place in the competition were slim.
Fang Yihuai and Zhang Mo looked at the person on stage and showed their appreciation. "I didn't expect that she really wasn't nervous when she said she wasn't." It wasn't just that she wasn't nervous, it was that she was super confident.
The score for this preliminary round is definitely secure. He can't think of anyone who can speak better than her. Even if someone speaks well, as long as the content wins, that's enough.
Seeing this, Gao Fuya clenched her fist and had to admit that she was quite skilled, but she didn't want to admit defeat until the results of the competition were in.
Of course, she had wanted to surpass Lin Wei before, but now there was someone she wanted to surpass even more. Gao Fuya looked at another group of boys not far away, a hint of disgust in her eyes.
I've seen people who want to pursue someone, but I've never seen someone who, after failing to win someone's heart, goes around badmouthing them. It's one thing if she can't beat Lin Wei's group, but if she can't beat his group, she might as well not live anymore.
The results of the preliminary round were announced almost in the afternoon.
Before Lin Wei could even squeeze in to see, the people crowding around her had already announced their scores and initial rankings.
"The world's number one team, 96 points, first place. Who is the world's number one team?"
Lin Wei looked at Zhang Mo. He was in charge of the competition program and naturally also came up with the team name. She didn't expect that he, who seemed to talk little, would have such a chuunibyou (delusional) moment.
Zhang Mo noticed her and Fang Yihuai looking at him and asked without changing his expression, "Is there a problem?"
Both of them shook their heads simultaneously. "No problem." This perfectly matched what she had said earlier—it was good, very good. However, Lin Wei couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile as she turned back.
I have to say, the longer I spend with them, the lower my threshold for laughter becomes.
Gao Fuya, Qin Siyu, and the other two looked at their rankings on the leaderboard. Although they were ranked second, which seemed pretty good, their 90 points were still too low compared to the first place's 96 points.
Anyone who's participated in a competition knows that a single point can determine the outcome, let alone a difference of so many points. However, Gao Fuya glanced at Chen Wei's group's ranking and scoffed, "That's it?"
Chen Wei's eyes flashed fiercely, and Qin Siyu and another person immediately stepped in front of Gao Fuya.
In contrast to the tense atmosphere over there, Lin Wei was quite relaxed. She first went to have a meal before returning to the hotel.
However, Zhang Mo soon came out of the room with a serious expression and looked at the two people, saying, "Our miniature drone has been sabotaged." He never expected that someone would do such a thing in such a strict hotel.
Lin Wei glanced at the surveillance camera subconsciously. The lights were off, but that made sense; someone who wanted to cause trouble wouldn't leave the surveillance cameras on.
At this moment, Lin Wei still had the mind to think about these things, and was not as serious as Zhang Mo. On the contrary, the smile on her face did not diminish.
