Chapter 16 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack 16 (Revised) ...
Fang Yihuai was initially a little nervous, but seeing the expression on her face, he knew that things might not be so bad.
"Lin Wei, is there something you want to say?" he asked directly. If things were really that bad, she would definitely be in no mood to laugh, just like him.
Zhang Mo calmed down and looked over.
Lin Wei glanced at them, said nothing, and went into his room, picking up the so-called damaged research from the floor.
Although it looks very similar to their designed miniature drones, it is indeed a modified drone model that looks quite convincing but has no practical value whatsoever.
Lin Wei guessed that the person who vandalized it didn't bother to check it before smashing it, otherwise they would have noticed the difference between the two.
Zhang Mo and Fang Yihuai then realized what was happening. "This isn't our research." The two looked at Lin Wei and asked, "What's going on?" They knew it was related to her.
What about their research?
This brings us to something. After finishing her miniature drone, Lin Wei was bored and did something similar. This drone model was something she copied using limited resources. She had given this to Zhang Mo when she was packing up, but the real one was still with her.
She had originally intended to say it, but hadn't she forgotten because she was busy with the competition yesterday? Thinking of this, Lin Wei felt a little guilty, but quickly regained her composure.
Anyway, isn't it the same whether the drone is in her hands or Zhang Mo's? We're really grateful to her today, otherwise our two months of hard work would have been ruined.
When Zhang Mo and Fang Yihuai arrived at her room, they saw her take the miniature drone out of a flowerpot, and they fell silent for a moment.
Everyone else carefully preserves their designs, preventing any damage, but she just throws them directly into flowerpots. Although they know she thinks it's safer that way, neither of them knows what to say.
Lin Wei ignored their stares and said, "Luckily, that person was blind and didn't break the vacuum chamber, otherwise we would have been in real trouble."
The vacuum chamber was still in Zhang Mo's room, which was indeed a stroke of good luck despite the misfortune. Of course, the most important thing was the miniature drone. If the vacuum chamber had been damaged, they would have had time to repair it. If the miniature drone was damaged, they could make another one, but without the materials, there was nothing they could do.
Regardless, Lin Wei had been a great help today. When Zhang Mo saw this, he didn't take the drone away, but instead looked at her and said, "Keep the things here for now." He was afraid that someone might destroy them again sometime.
As for this incident, although it's disgusting, there's really no way to bring the people behind it to justice. First of all, the surveillance footage is lost, so the hotel won't let its reputation be damaged. Secondly, it's obvious that the person who sabotaged their plan was a team participating in the competition, who was a minor. Even if they were caught, nothing would happen, not to mention that they haven't suffered any significant losses yet.
They don't have the time or energy to mess around with these things; they can only let their strength speak for itself.
They absolutely had to win this competition. Zhang Mo and Fang Yihuai exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with the same expression.
The next day, they participated in the competition as usual, their eyes showing a newfound sharpness. One skillfully demonstrated his work, showing its operation in a vacuum, measuring its speed, and weighing its mass. The other answered the judges' questions in a very organized manner, providing detailed and insightful answers to each point, even answering a few questions that were outside their expected scope.
Both were wearing the uniforms of the city's No. 1 High School, exuding youthful spirit and a vibrant energy. Their appearance was somewhat different from, yet similar to, Lin Wei's from yesterday. Regardless, this "Number One Team in the World" was a refreshing sight.
Not just people, but also their works.
Considering that none of the participants had traveled from afar to other provinces, the organizers did not intend to delay and released the results within half an hour of the final.
Unsurprisingly, Lin Wei's group won first place.
The second place went to someone from another province or city, while Gao Fuya came in third.
Now she had no choice but to admit defeat. She looked at the three of them with complicated feelings, wondering if she would win if she teamed up with Fang Yihuai and Zhang Mo.
But after thinking about it, she felt there was no comparison. Did she not win without them?
Ultimately, it's because she's less skilled than others.
Gao Fuya felt relieved. Sooner or later, she would surpass the two of them, no, there was one more person: Lin Wei. Her gaze fell on the girl next to Zhang Mo and Fang Yihuai, and a fighting spirit arose within her.
She lost this time, but she won't lose next time.
On the podium, Lin Wei wasn't interested in taking pictures, but for the sake of the several thousand yuan prize money, she still cooperated. Her eyes curved slightly, her smile was bright, and she held up the only trophy in her hand, forming a stark contrast with the two people next to her who looked like goalkeepers.
After leaving, Lin Wei looked at the photo and complained, "It's really ugly."
Fang Yihuai: "It's better than you laughing like you're worthless."
Regardless, all three were very happy with their victory in the competition. As soon as Lin Wei entered the hotel room, she divided the small amount of money, giving one portion to Fang Yihuai and the other to Zhang Mo.
"You'd better keep your word. Your share is mine."
Zhang Mo nodded. "Would I go back on my word?" Fortunately, he hadn't chosen the wrong person. If he hadn't chosen her, he might have really messed up in this competition.
Lin Wei left with the money, her eyes crinkling with a smile, looking every bit the miser.
Fang Yihuai then came over and said to Zhang Mo, "Now I know how to get her to cooperate." As he spoke, he twirled his fingers, thinking that as long as there was money, he didn't believe she wouldn't take the bait.
Zhang Mo replied indifferently, "Oh," and turned to walk into his room.
The three of them didn't stay long; they slept for one night and then took a bus back to S Province the next day. The physics teacher quickly received the news: they had won first place, and his eyes were beaming with joy during class.
Gao Fuya's group came in third place, which is pretty good. How could they not be good if they made it through such a fierce competition? It's just that with such outstanding performers ahead of them, she seemed less noticeable.
The news spread throughout the class, sparking a flurry of discussion among the students, all praising their awesomeness. Winning a national competition, and even first place—that's incredible!
Those who had returned to their real-world classes from the competition focused their attention on the lessons in front of them. For some reason, the short two months felt longer than the years that had passed in the system space.
However, the most pressing issue now is the upcoming midterm exams. Lin Wei never expected that after finally finishing the grueling exams, she would have to take another one.
Moreover, this exam required taking all nine subjects, and despair filled her eyes.
She can manage math, English, and physics, but there are still six subjects to go. We might as well just kill her.
But no matter how tired she was, she still had to study. So, she became even busier, sometimes reading biology books, sometimes chemistry books, and at the very least, memorizing classical Chinese texts and poems.
I never saw her pick up a history, politics, or geography book.
Qin Boyuan was somewhat surprised to hear that his younger brother had not won first place, or even second place. First place was one thing, but how could he not even get second place?
Qin Siyu complained, "It's all because someone entered our room and ruined our design. We had to find someone to buy materials overnight and reassemble it, but it's not in very good condition."
"I don't know who's so unethical, resorting to these underhanded tactics when they can't compete. But even if our design hadn't been destroyed, we still wouldn't have gotten first place." Lin Wei's team scored 96 points in the preliminary round and 97 points in the final round, while our team only scored 90 points in the preliminary round. Unless we get 103 points in the final round, we can't possibly surpass them.
But obviously, this is impossible.
At this point, he couldn't help but praise Lin Wei and the other two, "Brother, you have no idea how amazing the three of them are, and they are all from the No. 1 High School in the city. I also heard that their works were damaged by thieves, but they were lucky and escaped unharmed."
Because the organizers had posted the photos online, Qin Siyu even showed them to him. The three people—the man was handsome, the woman was beautiful and elegant—stood together in the photo, making them quite eye-catching.
Qin Boyuan glanced at them and read out their names, "Lin Wei, Zhang Mo, Fang Yihuai?"
As Lin's mother passed by, she heard her niece's name and instinctively looked over. Was it her imagination? How could she hear her youngest child's name?
Qin Siyu was still chattering away, while Qin Boyuan's mind was now focused on what he had just said. Although he couldn't really do anything to the people behind the scenes, he could still teach them a lesson and make them remember.
Soon, a phone call was made to deal with the issue of the design work being damaged.
Whether the mastermind behind it all will regret it is another matter, but it did indirectly avenge Lin Wei and the other two.
Because she felt it was impossible to hear her niece's name from the two young masters—even if the name was the same, it couldn't be her—Lin Ma paused for a moment before continuing with her work.
Meanwhile, in her dormitory at the city's No. 1 High School, Lin Wei, though somewhat despairing about the days to come, still consciously entered the system space, seemingly determined to study despite her tears.
Once inside, her concentration reached an unprecedented level.
