Chapter 1527: Cheng Shu’s Rebellion, The Successor Selection Begins!

On the other side.
In the working room of the research institute, Cheng Shu was still uneasy.
“Senior, Professor Qiao, she…”
There were two existences in Continent K that were hard to ignore. One was Wang Huiying from Confederation 191, and the other was the last disciple of the President of the research association who appeared out of nowhere—Qiao Lan, who had just announced that she had joined the Research Association this year.
It was a pity that the former had already left Confederation 191 and was not as famous as before, but the latter was a new rising star that caused a commotion in the industry!!!
There were even rumors outside…
In five years, with Qiao Lan’s talent, she might very well be comparable to Y.G. in Country A.
After all, compared to Y.G., who was in her mid-thirties, Qiao Lan, who was 26 years old, was even younger. She could still have a long period of success.
Assistant Zhang said with a smile, “Don’t be nervous. Professor Qiao Lan is also interested in you, so she wants to see you.”
Cheng Shu was a little flattered and asked nervously, “Me?”
Assistant Zhang comforted her, “Your performance in that competition was not bad. With Yun University’s resources, the fact that you can do this means that you have a lot of potential.”
Hearing this, Cheng Shu was still nervous, but she quickly saw the rumored Professor Qiao Lan.
She suddenly stood up uncontrollably!
“Hello, Professor Qiao!”
Qiao Lan only glanced at her expressionlessly, walked around her and sat on the sofa.
Her tone was condescending and indifferent. “You’re Cheng Shu?”
Cheng Shu nodded. “Yes.”
“I heard that an undergraduate student from Yun University defeated K University?”
Qiao Lan’s words made Cheng Shu’s expression turn a little ugly. She could not help but glance at the assistant beside her.
Then…
She looked away and forced a smile. “She did solve four questions, but…”
“After all, Student Pei has been by the side of a person like Director Lin Lanjun since she was a child. In her third year of high school, she seemed to have joined the A.M. Computing Institute because of a competition and has the best resources.”
Cheng Shu said this on purpose.
However, when Qiao Lan heard these words, her eyes turned cold as expected.
“Lin Lanjun”, “A.M. Computing Institute”… This was completely stepping on landmines.
Because Qiao Lan had been nominated for two prestigious scientific research awards this year, she was also highly regarded internationally.
However, if it wasn’t for Lin Lanjun, Qiao Lan might very well be the second person to win two awards in the same year after Y.G..
It was also because of this that many people started to change sides, thinking that it was too early to compare Qiao Lan with Y.G..
“So she’s the granddaughter Lin Lanjun adopted. She can even enter the A.M. Computing Institute.”
Qiao Lan only maintained a polite smile, hiding the coldness in her eyes. “It looks like she’s a rare talent.”
“I can’t compare to Student Pei. A student who was at the bottom of the class in her second year of high school suddenly won countless awards and got first in the country for the college entrance examination.”
Cheng Shu also pretended to mention it unintentionally and said with some pity, “But for some reason, I heard that Pei Yunge can’t even sign up for this competition.”
“She can’t register?”
Soon, Qiao Lan understood what was going on.
Qiao Lan picked up the teacup and blew on it to cool it. She took a sip and said with a smile, “Lin Lanjun’s granddaughter can do such a thing?”
“Professor Qiao, real geniuses can be counted with one hand, let alone few people like you, who are destined to be at the forefront of human society.”
These words attracted Qiao Lan’s attention.
Although she did not like Cheng Shu’s standards, she was still sensible.
Qiao Lan laughed and took out a name card from the table. “If you need anything in the future, just call me.”
Cheng Shu stood up excitedly and took the card with both hands. “Thank you, Professor Qiao!”
“Cheng Shu, your scientific research path shouldn’t stop here. Have you thought of coming to Barker?”
Hearing this…
Cheng Shu suddenly understood what Qiao Lan meant. Her eyes were filled with disbelief and a trace of unease.
Barker Federal Technical University was the top technical university in Continent K. Such a university naturally had an extremely high threshold.
Cheng Shu was a little hesitant. “If I transfer schools…”
Qiao Lan interrupted her and said meaningfully, “As long as you meet my requirements, you can come to my laboratory.”
They were in a deadlock for about three minutes.
Cheng Shu gritted her teeth as her eyes became firm. She nodded and said, “Professor Qiao, no matter what the condition is, I will satisfy it.”
The corners of Qiao Lan’s lips curled up as a faint mocking look appeared in her eyes. She had already expected this outcome.
“Then help me properly.”
…
The next day.
Yun University had come to the venue to draw lots early in the morning, but they did not expect to draw Barker University!
“Damn! Zheng Jiang, what kind of bad luck do you have? You even have the cheek to choose Barker?”
Gao Lixin slapped the back of Zheng Jiang’s head.
Zheng Jiang was also numb.
Barker Federation Technology University was a team that was aiming for the championship.
It seemed like the heavens were going to make them kneel this time.
However, when Cheng Shu saw this lot, a strange look flashed past her eyes before a mocking smile appeared on her lips.
Two hours later.
The competition officially started.
When everyone saw Yun University against Barker, their desire to watch the show intensified!
Yun University was really lucky.
Who was the one who said that it was useless for Yun University to advance??
If it wasn’t for Yun University bravely facing Barker, they might have been the ones tortured by Barker today.
Yun University was really unlucky.
Although everyone knew that Yun University would definitely be tortured in the competition, when they saw that Yun University’s team had lost even more completely than in the first round, they could not help feeling that it was too tragic.
“Is Yun University suppressed? Or are they already planning to kneel? 10:0???”
“The opponent opposite is Barker. Yun University is lucky to be able to go against the potential champion team this year. They didn’t come for nothing.”
…
However…
In the competition venue, Gao Lixin looked at Cheng Shu in disbelief.
“Cheng Shu, what’s wrong with you today? Why are you fighting for the answer machine?”
If Cheng Shu had not maliciously snatched the answering machine and could not answer every time, their team would have been sentenced to violate the rules. The one or two points they had painstakingly snatched these few rounds would have been deducted.
However, Cheng Shu seemed to not hear him. She only glanced at Gao Lixin coldly and continued to do whatever she wanted.
Until this 15:0 result was too glaring, they stopped the competition midway.
Gao Lixin grabbed Cheng Shu and stared at her intently. “What are you doing? Are you crazy today?!”
What was wrong with the person who would be on the verge of losing her temper whenever they lost a point today?!
Cheng Shu smirked and took off the team badge on her chest, throwing it on the table casually. “If you think I’m not suitable, then I won’t compete.”
Then…
Cheng Shu left.
This scene made the other members’ faces turn pale as they finally realized something.
Cheng Shu clearly did it on purpose!
“What should we do? What should we do?” Gao Lixin and the rest were at a loss and hurriedly called the mentors.
At the same time.
Pei Yunge had already seen a message from the Xie family last night. They told her that Elder Xie was seriously ill and asked her to attend the heir selection day tomorrow.
Therefore, early this morning, Pei Yunge was ready to go to the Xie family. She knew better what the Xie family was planning.
With the sudden appearance of an heir candidate, many people were probably thinking about how to establish their might in front of Pei Yunge.
Before leaving the hotel, Pei Yunge’s eyelids twitched when she saw Si Chengyan’s urgent call.
