Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When the final results were announced, the smiles on the two of them stopped abruptly. They, who could not understand mathematics, naturally could not understand what had happened at the scene. It was unexpected that the outcome had reversed so quickly.
The two of them were so angry that they threw their phones on the bed and were no longer in the mood to continue watching.
Xu Lu had originally thought that she would not be able to deal with Shan Yue and use the opportunity of the competition to embarrass her in front of the country. In the end, things really went against her wishes. She did not make a fool of herself and instead made her famous in front of the country.
However, in the end, this matter still affected Xu Lu. The matter of Capital University winning the championship had already covered up the limelight of her video and successfully diverted people’s attention. There were no longer so many people who cared who Xu Lu was.
Therefore, even if she did not succeed in embarrassing Shan Yue, Xu Lu was still very happy. Tang Hui was different. Everything that happened had no positive impact on her.
Due to the current situation, Shan Yue had nimbly dodged all the recent occasions where she had the chance to humiliate Shan Yue. Tang Hui could only give up for the time being and find another opportunity in the future.
At the same time, most of the students in the stands had already left. Shan Yue also asked the other teachers and students of the Capital University to take the car back first.
…..
She and He Sheng sat in the stands closest to the door. As they waited for Chang Ling to return, they chatted.
“I really have to congratulate President Shan. It’s indeed a joyous day to gain both fame and fortune.”
He Sheng’s face was filled with joy. “This is only your first year of university. Not only have you already been accepted by the Chemistry Olympiad team, but you’ve also displayed your mathematical talent on the national stage in one go. Your achievements in the future can’t be underestimated, and it’s only a matter of time before you expand your ambitions.”
“Oh? How can it be both fame and fortune? Assistant He, it’s obvious that there’s a hidden meaning in your words. It’s natural that I won this competition today and gained fame. Then where does this fortune come from?”
Shan Yue turned her head sideways, her deep eyes seeming to be able to see into one’s heart. “Or did something new happen in the federal city while I was competing?”
“President Shan is really a smart person. It’s easy to talk to you. There are some things that don’t need to be said clearly. You can understand the meaning.”
He Sheng deliberately took a detour and did not say it directly. “But don’t worry. The matter has been resolved very well. There’s no loss. As for what it is, you’ll know when Chang Ling comes and asks him.”
“Why has Assistant He become so strict with his words? As expected, after following Zhou Xuan for so long, even your attitude is becoming more and more like him.” Shan Yue joked, “Or did Zhou Xuan teach you these words? Did you just repeat his words? If you really can’t take it anymore, you can follow me. I’m not as strict as Zhou Xuan.”
He Sheng quickly smiled and waved his hand. “President Shan, you’re really joking. I’m grateful for President Zhou’s trust. I’ve been by President Zhou’s side since I started working. I’ve gotten to my current position step by step. As long as President Zhou doesn’t mind, I’ll be by President Zhou’s side for the rest of my life.”
“Zhou Xuan treats you so well. What can you learn from him that can make you so loyal?”
Shan Yue’s seemingly casual question was both testing He Sheng’s reaction speed and already setting a trap for him, waiting for him to take the bait.
“If I follow President Zhou, I can see the difference in his words and actions. His insight and decisive decision-making are far inferior to mine. After all, President Zhou is known as the role model of the younger generation in Federal City.” He Sheng was about to continue. “It’s been so long. Even my…”
Halfway through his sentence, he felt that something was wrong. He immediately swallowed his words and stopped himself from making a mistake.
“As expected of President Shan. A few casual words won’t stop you from getting information out of me.” He Sheng was still rejoicing. “It seems that I have to be careful when I speak to you in the future. Otherwise, if I follow your words, I’ll inadvertently reveal some secrets..”
