375 Escaping With the Money
On the Mathematics Department’s side, under Lin Xiao’s supervision, he had long thought of a strategy, so there was no need to panic.
Shan Yue knew that she was only here because she had an extra spot. To put it bluntly, she was here to make up the numbers. Therefore, she did not have any worries at all. In any case, they would not arrange a competition for her.
However, she did not know that she was entering Zhang Huang’s design step by step.
The announcement of the venue sounded, announcing that the preliminaries had begun. The competitions in the various venues were in full swing. The experts of each school were sparring with each other without reservation, fighting to win precious points for their schools.
The big screen in the middle of the field displayed the information of the two sides. The green light indicated victory, and the red light indicated defeat. Just like that, waves of people were rotating between the continuous red and green lights.
The points on the scoreboard kept rising, and Ruoshui University’s momentum was unstoppable. Like an unstoppable beast, it directly suppressed the Capital University and occupied the first place.
Opposite the venue was Ruoshui University. Ruo Ting, who was also the pillar of the Mathematics Department like Lin Xiao, was staring at the scoreboard.
Ruo Ting was the granddaughter of the Principal of Ruoshui University. A few years later, she would be the heir of Ruoshui University.
She had good looks to begin with, exquisite facial features, and a voluptuous figure. Coupled with her extraordinary math talent, she had a high status in school. It was inevitable that she would have many suitors behind her.
Moreover, in the finals of last year’s National High School Competition, Ruo Ting had lost her battle with Lin Xiao. With an extremely small difference, she had lost first place and could only be second.
Because of her first failure, Ruo Ting practiced hard for a year after the competition. She gave up all entertainment and useless socializing and spent all her attention on solving questions.
It was for the sake of defeating Lin Xiao fair and square in this year’s high school competition. Firstly, it was to fight for her pride. Secondly, it was to win the title of the number one university in Federal City for Ruoshui University.
Ruo Ting, who was at a high place, narrowed her eyes and muttered to herself in an extremely small voice, “I’ve been waiting for Capital University for a year. Don’t disappoint me, especially you, Lin Xiao. I don’t want to not even be able to see your figure in the finals. It would be too boring to win.”
However, while the competition was intense, the Shan Corporation was not at peace. A while ago, the company that had pretended to be the Shan Corporation to invest in projects had run away overnight with the money.
The people of the Federal City had invested a total of ten million yuan. Some people had even put in a lifetime’s worth of hard-earned money, waiting for the investment to succeed and earn money for retirement.
The current situation directly caused some people to have a mental breakdown. Losing all their assets overnight was undoubtedly a fatal blow to many middle-aged people. Some people even had the thought of committing suicide.
Even though Ye Ying had already made a statement on the Shan Corporation’s official website in advance, the people at this moment did not buy it in front of poverty.
Some people said that it must be the Shan Corporation rolling in the money and finding an excuse for themselves. Others said that why the Shan Corporation did not develop this investment but did not stop such behavior and let others swindle others under this banner. Therefore, the Shan Corporation was also responsible as an accomplice.
For a moment, there were various opinions in the Federation City. The reason for the matter was spread by word of mouth, and in the end, it became more and more ridiculous.
Faced with such an unexpected situation, the ground floor of the Shan Corporation was already surrounded by the crowd. Only a group of security guards were guarding the company’s door.
Chang Ling wanted to tell Shan Yue about this. Just as he took out his phone, he was stopped by Ye Ying.
“President Shan should be in the competition at this time. She told me before that in order to prevent the participants from having the chance to cheat, everyone has to hand in their phones before entering the competition venue, so it’s useless even if you call her now.”
Ye Ying’s eyes gradually became serious. “As President Shan’s assistant, you should be thinking about how to help her lighten her burden, not add to it. If you encounter anything in the future and have to call President Shan and let her come back personally to resolve it, then what value do we have in this company?”
