He lost all the previous competitions, which were events he was good at.
The final match was Go, which was the sport he was least skilled at among all the events.
If you lose at what you're good at, you'll lose at what you're not good at.
In order to avoid losing face, Ding Jinyu decided to try something else.
He suddenly realized that if you can fix a football match, or fix a game, then why can't you fix a Go match too?
He could have Ye Chen deliberately throw the game and lose to him.
In this way, all the problems were solved.
As for why Ye Chen deliberately let him off the hook, it's simple: he didn't give him face, and he didn't even give him money.
A student might be able to maintain their stance when faced with a few thousand or tens of thousands of people, but what about when faced with 200,000, 500,000, or 1 million?!
There's no time to investigate Ye Chen's situation now. To prevent Ye Chen from refusing, I'll just take the biggest amount—1 million.
With a little time to spare before the match started, Ding Jinyu immediately sent his underlings to the nearest bank to withdraw cash.
Compared to money transfers, 1 million in cash has a much stronger visual impact.
Just after making the call, Ding Jinyu came up with an even better idea.
When his underling received the money and secretly handed it to Ye Chen, he instructed his underling to hide a camera on his person.
Film Ye Chen accepting the money and broadcast it live so everyone can see how greedy and money-grubbing Ye Chen is.
In this way, Ye Chen's reputation was completely ruined, and the reputation of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics was also ruined, so there was no need for him to participate in any competitions.
At that time, he could even have his underlings take the money back, so there would be no need for the competition. Why would he need to give Ye Chen any money? He could even save that 1 million.
It costs nothing, yet it ruins Ye Chen's reputation—killing two birds with one stone!
I'm so smart.
Ding Jinyu smiled with satisfaction, then quickly took out his phone and sent a message to his underling.
Ten minutes later, Ding Jinyu's younger brother arrived at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics with a box full of money.
It's halftime now. A sporting event has just ended, and Ye Chen is resting in a special lounge.
Knock knock knock.
A knock came at the door.
"Enter."
Immediately afterwards, Ding Jinyu's henchman walked in carrying a money box.
At the same time, Ding Jinyu, who was outside, also saw the scene in Ye Chen's rest room through the hidden camera.
Ding Jinyu immediately came out of his lounge.
"I have some big news here, everyone come and see!"
As soon as Ding Jinyu came out, he shouted loudly.
Before long, countless students from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics and Shanghai University of Science and Technology gathered around.
"There's going to be a good show soon, everyone watch the screen carefully."
As more and more people gathered to watch, Ding Jinyu waited for the show to begin.
At this moment, in Ye Chen's lounge, Ding Jinyu's underling came in, placed the portable safe on the table, and then opened it.
A whole box full of money.
The onlookers outside widened their eyes as they saw a box full of money on the screen.
"This is 1 million in cash!!!"
"I hope you can deliberately throw the game during the Go match later. If you agree, it will be yours immediately."
Ding Jinyu's underlings said to Ye Chen.
"One million! If you agree, you can get it easily."
Ding Jinyu's henchman tempted Ye Chen to agree.
For an average student, 1 million is an astronomical figure.
Just when Ding Jinyu's underlings thought Ye Chen was about to agree, Ye Chen turned around, took out a small notebook, and casually wrote a few words.
"Here's 5 million. Just tell me who told you to do this, and the money is yours."
Ye Chen tossed the scribbled check onto the table and casually turned on his phone's recording function.
Looking at the check, Ding Jinyu's underlings even started breathing rapidly.
"It was Ding Jinyu. Brother Yu told me to do it."
After saying that, Ding Jinyu's henchman even took out the camera he was carrying.
With this 5 million, why would he need to be a lackey?
Outside, upon hearing Ding Jinyu's younger brother's words, all the onlookers' gazes instantly shifted from the screen to Ding Jinyu.
"Pah! They think they can bribe our Senior Ye with money? That's hilarious."
"That's right. You didn't even bother to find out who our Senior Ye is, and you think you can bribe him with a mere 1 million? That's the biggest joke I've heard all year."
“Our senior Ye is one of the top ten outstanding young entrepreneurs in Shanghai. You think you can bribe him with 1 million? You’re dreaming. Maybe you can turn 'ten million' into 'hundred million'.”
“A million is probably not even pocket money in Senior Ye’s eyes.”
Countless freshmen from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics mocked Ding Jinyu's ignorance.
Ding Jinyu was dumbfounded upon hearing these comments.
What?!!!
Ye Chen is one of Shanghai's Top Ten Outstanding Young Entrepreneurs?!
Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!
He had never paid attention to this kind of ranking before, but just from the name, he knew how terrifying it was.
Mockingly, Ding Jinyu's toes dug into the ground, his face flushed red, extremely embarrassed. His reputation was completely ruined.
"People like this don't deserve to be students at our university of science and technology."
"It's embarrassing to have a senior like that."
Even people from Shanghai University of Science and Technology have joined in criticizing Ding Jinyu.
Ding Jinyu became a pariah, hated by everyone.
"You've disgraced our university!"
After learning what had happened, the president of the university also came over with a gloomy face and angrily rebuked the good-for-nothing student.
Actually, losing is losing. After all, how many schools in the country, or even the world, have such an outstanding student as Ye Chen?
Ding Jinyu's disgusting methods are a disgrace to Shanghai University of Science and Technology.
"You have been expelled from school."
The president of the university made the announcement directly.
"This time, our university lost. With a student like Ye Chen, I accept the defeat wholeheartedly."
After glancing at the president of the University of Finance and Economics, the president of the University of Science and Technology spoke from the bottom of his heart.
Finally, the president of the university of science and technology left with Ding Jinyu and others.
When Ye Chen arrived, countless students cheered.
"Ye Chen, our Shanghai University of Finance and Economics is proud of you."
The principal grabbed Ye Chen's hand. If it weren't for Ye Chen, it would have been their Shanghai University of Finance and Economics that was embarrassed this time.
"I'll take care of that for you right away."
The principal was a man of his word, and immediately contacted the president of Shanghai University to help Ye Chen.
Amidst everyone's cheers, Ye Chen also left.
On the second day of class, many female students came to ask Ye Chen for autographs and photos throughout the morning.
Luckily, I didn't have classes in the afternoon, otherwise, there would probably have been even more female fans.
In the afternoon, Ye Chen went to his future game company.
Urgent news has arrived from the future gaming company!
