Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Being Too Obvious in Showing Favoritism
Yun Shenhan withdrew his thoughts and asked He Jingyao, who was beside him, “You’ve made such a fuss to find her, your uncle and aunt probably already know by now.”
He Jingyao frowned slightly, “I’m aware of the situation.”
He had deliberately concealed Su Zixi’s existence, simply not wanting his mother’s intervention to disrupt his plans. But since things had co to this, there was nothing to fear anymore.
He sipped his coffee and smiled, “There’s no need to say who the gold award should go to, right?”
Yun Shenhan couldn’t help himself, “Isn’t your favoritism a bit too obvious? This isn’t my business to manage, it’s up to the judges to decide.”
“I heard guests can buy the ideas or designs that interest them on the spot?”
“That’s correct.”
“I’m very interested in the idea of the team from Yanzhou University,” He Jingyao curved his lips into a smile.
“They’ve worked on a community mutual-aid app design,” Yun Shenhan said calmly, “HI Corporation mainly deals with finance and technology products, right?”
“I’ve been planning to get into the internet industry lately,” He Jingyao eyed him dismissively.
Yun Shenhan choked with exasperation.
…
After finishing her presentation, Su Zixi listened to the thunderous applause from the audience and finally allowed a smile to show on her face.
At last, all her long-term efforts had not been in vain.
She saw Shen Yushan and a few other teammates in the back row clapping furiously, and her eyes beca slightly moist.
Soon, the question segnt arrived, and she imdiately gathered her spirits to answer the judges’ queries. Fortunately, she was well-prepared, and she answered every question appropriately.
After the question segnt ended, Su Zixi returned to her seat, and Shen Yushan hugged her with a kiss, “Zhixi, you were amazing, I absolutely adore you!”
Su Zixi blushed and pushed her away, “Stop it…”
“By the way, why were you late this morning?”
“Uh… there was a car accident, but it’s all handled now, and I’m fine,” Su Zixi said with a smile.
“That’s good to hear, you don’t know, just after nine, even the staff ca to ask why you hadn’t arrived yet,” Shen Yushan said offhandedly.
Su Zixi was startled. She realized that at that ti, Young Master He must have been looking for her, right? He had called her so many tis, yet she had not received them.
Could He Jingyao also be here, she suddenly wondered?
He had just brought her to the Muyun Hotel; could it be… that he had stayed to watch her competition?
A small hope suddenly flourished in Su Zixi’s heart.
At this mont, all the competing teams had finished their presentations, and the host went on stage with a smile. Instantly, everyone held their breath in anticipation.
Shen Yushan was gripping her arm nervously, chanting under her breath, “Gold award, gold award, gold award…”
Su Zixi beca nervous from her chanting. Although she felt their team’s results were very complete, whether in terms of innovation or feasibility, it didn’t guarantee they would surely win the gold award.
As the third and second prizes were announced, Shen Yushan grew increasingly excited, “At least we should get a first prize, right?”
Su Zixi was too nervous to speak, but soon, the host announced the two teams that won first prize, and theirs wasn’t one of them.
Therefore, they either hadn’t won any prize at all, or they were…
“The gold award goes to the team from Yanzhou University!” the host announced loudly.
“Ahhh!” Shen Yushan imdiately scread, and their teammates hugged each other, almost jumping with excitent.
Su Zixi also started to smile, but as she smiled, her eyes beca moist unexpectedly.
It was a pity she didn’t have a single family mber or lover to share this joy with.
