She had originally joined this group just for Wu Jiayan and had no interest in these research papers. Even in the group, she didn't know much about her group's work. However, in order to deal with the judges' questions, she also memorized a lot of things, but when she got nervous just now, she couldn't remember anything.
It's over now, because she alone has affected the performance of the entire team, Jiayan will definitely be angry.
Sure enough, she looked at Wu Jiayan cautiously. He looked worried, but he didn't dare to show it. The judges' expressions also changed obviously. The smiles on their faces that were just smiling had faded.
"Okay, you guys go down, the next group will come on stage." The judge waved his hand.
Several people walked off the stage with unhappy faces. Originally, everyone had been very nice to Lu Ying because of her help with their works, but now that she had messed up the competition, no one's attitude was good anymore.
Zhang Yan couldn't help but say, "Really? You can't even do such a small thing as just memorizing a few sentences."
Lu Ying's face turned red, but for the first time she did not fight back. After all, this matter was originally her problem, and she had now incurred public wrath.
Lu Xiao glanced at her face and asked, "Aying, what happened to you just now?" Even if she didn't understand their project, she shouldn't be unable to answer this question, right?
"I was too nervous at the time, my mind went blank and I couldn't remember it," Lu Ying defended.
"Nervous?" Wu Jiayan suddenly looked at her, his expression grim and his tone extremely bad. "Are you nervous? You're clearly distracted. From the moment you stepped on stage, your mind wasn't on the competition. I don't know what you were thinking about. The judges called on you three times."
"Lu Ying, it was you who insisted on applying to the school to join us. We couldn't refuse, and we are very grateful for the convenience you provided during our research. But none of this is an excuse for you messing up our competition today. You've held all of us back."
"You may not care, but because of your performance just now, we will be deducted points by the judges, and all our hard work for so long may be destroyed by you."
Although Wu Jiayan didn't want to pay much attention to her in the past, he took into consideration that she was a girl and she hadn't done anything wrong, so he didn't say anything too extreme. But today he really couldn't help it and said something merciless.
It was also the first time for the others to see Wu Jiayan so angry. They all held their breath and dared not even breathe.
Being spoken of like this by the person he loved in public, Lu Ying's face turned pale, his whole body was shaky, and he wished he could faint.
"Yes...I'm sorry." Lu Yingqiang forced himself to apologize to him, "It's my fault."
Wu Jiayan's expression remained icy. "Lu Ying, I beg you to please stay out of my business from now on, okay?"
Hearing this, Lu Ying's eyes turned red and tears fell down.
"I... I didn't mean it..." She was just distracted and didn't expect this situation to happen.
Wu Jiayan no longer wanted to listen to anything she said and sat back in his seat.
Lu Ying kept sobbing, and Lu Xiao could only comfort her.
All the contestants present watched the whole process, but because of what happened yesterday, few people sympathized with them. Instead, most people were gloating.
"I'm dying of laughter. Weren't they so proud yesterday? Now they've made a mistake. I wonder if they can still be happy?" Zhang Xiaofang covered her mouth and laughed.
Su Qingyun shook his head, feeling a little sorry. Their group's work was innovative, and the previous steps had been carried out perfectly. Unexpectedly, something went wrong at the end, and it was on such a simple issue.
Not to mention the people in their group who were on the stage just now, as long as the contestants sitting in the audience listened carefully to Wu Jiayan's introduction, they could answer the judge's question.
Such an obvious mistake is both stupid and fatal.
"Why does Minister Lu's daughter have such poor psychological endurance?" Lin Sen shook his head and sighed.
Of course Lu Cheng knew that his daughter was also participating in this competition. He had originally had high hopes for her, but now it seemed so disappointing. He even doubted whether she was a member of this team. Was she just there to fill in the numbers temporarily?
Even if she was just filling in, she still had to be prepared, right? Just now, it was clear that she wasn't focused on the game at all. This was incredibly irresponsible to her teammates.
Qin Ying frowned and looked at him, "Do you know Lu Cheng?"
Lin Sen was shocked. He called Minister Lu's name directly. What is the relationship between these two people?
He thought about what Minister Lu had told him to do to take care of Su Qingyun, and immediately smiled, "Yes, Minister Lu and I have always had a good relationship, and..."
"No wonder, he doesn't look like a good person." Qin Ying interrupted him and moved to the side, a little further away from him.
Lin Sen's smile froze. What was going on? This wasn't a friendship with Minister Lu; this was a grudge against him!
Lin Sen was completely confused. Of these two people, one personally called to ask for help, and the other had a look of disgust on his face, wishing he had nothing to do with them at all. What was going on?
The competition was still going on, with groups of contestants coming on and off the stage, and the judges' expressions kept changing. Everyone's hearts were lifted up, then dropped down, and then lifted up again, just like riding a roller coaster.
The two groups of Zhang Xiaofang and Li Xiaoxiao performed quite well. Su Qingyun also watched it. Although their inventions were not very innovative or technically demanding, what they did was very solid and the reports on various aspects were very detailed. The judges also appreciated this steady and solid style.
I don’t know how long it took, but when the sun was moving westward, it was finally the last group’s turn. Su Qingyun and Ji Yue couldn’t wait to go on stage.
