They could feel the girl’s intensely cold aura attacking them, as if she were throwing daggers.
The hair on the back of the bald man’s neck stood up. Seeing her walk forward, the bald man reeled and gave way to her instinctively.
Carrying her backpack on one shoulder, she entered the hotel with a very intense aura surrounding her.
The bald man stood in the same spot for a few seconds before regaining his senses. His heart was still racing slightly and there was a hint of fear in his gaze.
He turned around and returned to the car.
He looked at Huo Zhi who was in the back seat. “Sir, Ms. Gu doesn’t want to meet you.”
Huo Zhi rolled down the window completely.
The man shifted his body to the side slightly and gazed at the hotel.
When Gu Mang had walked past the car just now, had she glanced to the side, she would have discovered him.
...
The Bi residence.
Master Bi was the brother of the Bi family’s head. Hence, his status in the Bi family was high.
When he invited Shen Qianzi into the Bi family’s manor, the servants paid full attention in serving them.
Shen Qianzi walked into the hall. Seeing Shen Xie who was sitting on the European style royal sofa, she was taken aback. “Brother, you are here too.”
Shen Xie turned to Shen Qianzi. “I came to Jijing Island for business. I dropped by to visit Master Bi as well.”
Shen Qianzi sat on the sofa. A servant served a cup of tea swiftly. The teacup looked exquisite and luxurious. It was clearly not made of ordinary materials.
Master Bi looked at her. “Qianzi, have you looked through the documents Elder Leng has given you?”
Shen Qianzi said modestly, “I’m almost done looking through them. I hope I can perform well in the competition.”
Master Bi nodded. “The documents include all the important questions that appeared in the past years’ competitions. As long as you remember them, you should be able to clinch first place easily.”
Shen Qianzi answered obediently, “I understand, teacher.”
At 5pm.
Shen Xie sent Shen Qianzi to the entrance of the hotel and reminded her to take care of herself. Then, he instructed the chauffeur to head to the Bi Corporation.
On the way there, Shen Xie looked through the information regarding their current project. After pondering for a moment, he took out his phone.
...
Gu Mang was working on the artificial intelligence system while wearing her earphones. Her laptop sat open to the side. She typed very quickly with her pretty hands.
Qin Yaozhi, who was gaming beside her, seemed to be infuriated by her noob teammate as she kept cursing.
“Charge! F*ck! You fools! We were winning at the start, but now we are starting to lose! You guys are really something...”
Just then, the phone beside Gu Mang buzzed.
She held it up to look at it. Shen Xie had sent her a message.
[Arctic Fox, are you free these days? I have a project that might need your help.]
Gu Mang was still being paid an annual salary of close to a hundred billion from Xingmu International Corporation.
There was no conflict of interest this time, so she replied, [Okay.]
When Shen Xie sent out the message, he had been rather nervous even though he was the employer.
He was a sugar daddy.
However, he had met someone more formidable than him. Everytime he looked for her, he was afraid that she would reject him and leave him to struggle alone.
Seeing Gu Mang’s reply, he was rather surprised. After regaining his senses, he immediately replied, [I will send you the document in a bit.]
Gu Mang replied, [Okay.]
Shen Xie would normally avoid asking her for help if the project was not very difficult.
He didn’t mind the technical department working slower.
After Gu Mang received the document, she looked through its content. It was a semi-finished engine.
She scanned through the information quickly and started coding.
...
7 PM.
Yang Tianming knocked on the students’ doors one by one to ask them to head to the restaurant to have dinner.
There was a restaurant on every floor of the hotel.
Dinner was served buffet-style.
There were many people in the restaurant. They were all students and teachers from different schools.
Gu Mang and Qin Yaozhi returned to the table where Capital University’s team was seated. On their way there, quite a few people stared at Gu Mang.
After Gu Mang had walked away, they would discuss softly.
“Is the rumor true? That Gu Mang did not attend Capital University’s training program and that she came to the competition completely unprepared?”
“I also heard that. It should be true. Who would be so bored to make something up?”
“She is really daring. I have come across people who go to examinations unprepared, but I have never come across anyone who goes to competitions unprepared. Furthermore, this is such an important competition.”
“I heard that even the professor from Capital University said that he might not be able to explain the competition result this time to the school.”
“Doesn’t that mean that whoever draws Capital University tomorrow will surely win?”
“Now that you say that, Gu Mang coming to Jijing Island so bravely is actually a good thing for us. Capital University will be at the bottom of the scoreboard no matter how badly we do.”
