Soon, news of Shi Miao's advancement to the finals spread throughout various universities.
The Kyoto University team, which had represented China in previous years, was particularly shocked. They were well aware of how strong the competitors from other countries were, otherwise they wouldn't have failed to even reach the finals.
I originally thought that Tsinghua University was just lucky to be selected to represent China in the competition this year, and that they would at most just go through the motions and be eliminated soon.
I never expected a freshman in the computer science department to make it to the finals.
They also learned that the theme and rules of this preliminary round were too simple and crude, and there had never been a situation in previous years where only five contestants remained in the final round.
Moreover, many of the contestants were on the top hacker list, which shows just how strong Shi Miao was.
At the same time, Tsinghua University also announced this good news on its official Weibo account.
Congratulations to our student Shi Miao for successfully advancing to the finals of the World Software Competition!
The number of followers on Tsinghua University's official Weibo account has increased exponentially in the past few months, and without exception, they are all coming for Shi Miao. The once quiet comment section is now bustling with activity.
The main issue is that Shi Miao's own account has hardly posted anything; the latest post is the one from two or three months ago where she proved herself.
So when Tsinghua University announced this good news, the comment section exploded within minutes.
[Holy crap, this is the first time a Chinese player has reached the finals, right? Shi Miao is amazing! I have a feeling she could win the championship!]
[I told you there's nothing I, Miao Shen, can't do! I'm saying it now, this championship is definitely ours!]
[It's just a fluke that we made it to the finals. Don't be so sure of yourself, or you'll be the one who gets proven wrong.]
Seriously, do those people who say it was just luck have any brains? Do they even understand the prestige of this competition? I'm speechless. And the theme and rules of this preliminary round were insanely ridiculous; in the end, only five contestants made it to the finals. Think about it yourselves!
[I'm giving a thumbs up to the person upstairs. It's clearly something that brought glory to the country, yet a bunch of brainless haters are calling it luck. If you're so capable, why don't you go do it yourself?]
...
When Qin Mingyue came out after class, she heard the conversations of the students passing by, all of which were related to the software competition.
The name I heard most often along the way was Shi Miao.
She naturally learned about the results of today's preliminary round from Weibo, and she didn't expect that Shi Miao would actually make it to the finals.
But after thinking it over, she felt it was too fake. Could it be that Ji Yanchen had pulled some strings for her?
But no matter what the situation, Qin Mingyue felt uncomfortable just thinking about Shi Miao winning the championship and receiving all kinds of honors.
She pursed her lips reluctantly, then took out her phone from her bag, opened Weibo, and browsed through the related topics of the software competition. Suddenly, she saw a post related to the finals.
Qin Mingyue's eyes flickered slightly, as if she had thought of something. She exited the Weibo interface and dialed Li Zheyuan's number.
"Hey, Mingyue, what's up? Want to go out and have some fun?" Li Zheyuan's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.
Qin Mingyue brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes, and said in feigned anger, "It's that Shi Miao again. I didn't expect her to actually make it to the finals. If she really wins the championship, she'll be so smug."
Li Zheyuan comforted her, saying, "This championship isn't so easy to win. Who does she think she is?"
"But what if it really is? Just thinking about her winning the championship makes me feel like ants are crawling all over me, and I feel uncomfortable all over. Didn't you say last time that she had a hired gun behind her, but she still made it to the finals?"
Qin Mingyue paused for a moment, then spoke softly, "Zheyuan."
Li Zheyuan was completely overwhelmed by this display of affection; the mere mention of "Zheyuan" melted his heart.
He would be willing to pluck stars and the moon even if asked to do so now.
"Mingyue, don't worry, leave this to me."
“But we can’t interfere in these international events.” Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, Qin Mingyue couldn’t help but smile slightly, but her voice was filled with worry: “Zheyuan, please don’t do anything foolish. Actually, I’m just feeling down and wanted to confide in you.”
"Don't worry, Mingyue, I have a plan."
Qin Mingyue played with the hair at her chest. "Zheyuan, I'm really fine. You really don't need to do anything."
"Okay, okay, I understand." Li Zheyuan agreed verbally, but he had already decided what to do in his heart.
Qin Mingyue smiled and said softly, "I have something to do, so I'll hang up now."
"Okay, sure."
...
Meanwhile, at the Blue Moon Club.
Li Zheyuan stared at his phone screen with a heart full of longing, his mind filled with Qin Mingyue's constant calling of "Zheyuan".
He tilted his head back and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then picked up the car keys that were lying on the table, got up and left the private room.
Half an hour later, Li Zheyuan drove to the gate of Tsinghua University.
He picked up his phone and sent Su Wenxue a WeChat message: "Come out, I'm at the school gate."
Su Wenxue quickly replied: 【But I'm in class right now.】
Li Zheyuan lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes as he tapped his phone screen: [Hurry up, I'm waiting for you.]
Su Wenxue didn't reply to him, but appeared at the school gate ten minutes later.
Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she opened the car door breathlessly, sat in the passenger seat, and turned to look at Li Zheyuan, "What's wrong? What's the matter that's so urgent? I'm in a professional class."
In fact, Su Wenxue was still very uneasy, after all, she had never skipped class before.
However, ever since she got together with Li Zheyuan, she has often been late or left early.
University is not as strict as high school; even if you are late or leave early, the teachers won't say anything.
However, this was Shen Yan's class, and he was known for being strict and disliked students who were inattentive or not paying attention in class.
Su Wenxue really didn't want to skip class, but she was afraid that her boyfriend, whom she had finally managed to get, would be angry. After hesitating for a moment, she still secretly ran away.
This is the third time she has skipped Shen Yan's class today, and she doesn't dare to think about what will happen if Shen Yan finds out.
Li Zheyuan rolled down the car window, threw the cigarette butt out the window, and said coldly, a far cry from his usual gentle and considerate manner: "Shi Miao made it to the finals of that software competition. Aren't you in the same dorm as her? Help me steal out the things she needs for the finals."
"What? You want me to steal?" Su Wenxue's eyes widened, her expression full of astonishment. Without thinking, she refused, "Impossible, I won't do such a thing."
Tsinghua University attaches great importance to this competition, and Shi Miao is representing the country.
If she tries to steal something and gets caught, she's finished.
Moreover, she already has a disciplinary record.
"Don't be so quick to refuse." Li Zheyuan chuckled, pulled out his car keys, tossed them onto her lap, and curled his lips into a mocking smile. "Here, take this."
Su Wenxue picked up the car keys from her lap, her fingers tightening slightly, her heart pounding, and her mouth going dry as she asked, "What do you mean by this?"
