Chapter 257: Chapter 257 Green Cloud List, Literary Review_1
"Prevent your fiancé from cheating? Where did you get a fiancé from? Your fiancé is taking part in the Qingyun List competition too? Co on, quickly, tell
more!" Yuan Yonglin suddenly said with gossipy curiosity.
"Ah, I only found out recently myself, my family actually arranged a marriage for
twenty years ago—who does that in this day and age? I can’t believe it happened to ! It’s so infuriating. That’s why I’m looking to call off the engagent! But I, Mu Wanqing, am not one to break a promise, so I gave my fiancé a chance. As long as he can top the Qingyun List, I won’t break off our engagent, and I will honor the marriage agreent!"
Mu Wanqing explained.
"So, you’re worried that your fiancé will cheat to top the Qingyun List, and you’ll be forced to honor the marriage agreent? You might be overthinking it. Cheating in the Qingyun List competition? How could that be possible?" Yuan Yonglin shook her head.
"In this world, strictly speaking, nothing is impossible. So, Yong Lin, to help , you must top the Qingyun List and stop my fiancé from succeeding!" Mu Wanqing added.
"What’s your fiancé’s na? I’ll just have my grandfather step in and make him ineligible for the competition, won’t that solve it?" Yuan Yonglin said.
"That won’t do, I won’t let him cheat, but I won’t cheat either; we have to follow the rules," Mu Wanqing shook her head.
"Alright then, to help you, I’ll just have to take down every male competitor I co across!" Yuan Yonglin patted her chest, looking righteous.
After chatting for a while, Yuan Yonglin went down to the competition hall, while Mu Wanqing returned to her private room, quietly watching the hall below through the floor-to-ceiling glass, searching for Ning Fan’s figure.
...
The hall on the first floor was buzzing with activity, as young talents from the eighteen cities of Jiang Province gathered together.
They all had one goal: to break into the top ten of the Qingyun List in this competition.
Today was the first day of competition: The Literary Evaluation.
Ning Fan finally arrived just before the start ti.
On the stage ahead, today’s host for the Literary Evaluation stood, with seven elderly judges sitting in a row behind him, who were the judges for the Qingyun List this ti.
"Silence!"
"I now announce, this year’s Qingyun List competition, begins now!"
"The evaluation we are conducting today is: The Literary Evaluation!"
The host, holding a microphone, announced loudly.
The audience instantly fell silent, everyone’s eyes turned to the host in anticipation.
Next, the host continued, "The first criterion for the Literary Evaluation is: Assets!"
"Only those among all competitors who rank in the top hundred in assets will pass this first criterion!"
"Next, the large screen will display those ranked beyond one hundred in assets and are eliminated! Please, those who are eliminated, leave!"
After the host spoke, the large screens on the walls of the hall began to display the nas of the eliminated competitors one by one.
Those eliminated either left voluntarily or were forcibly escorted out by security personnel.
"I don’t accept this! Why does the Qingyun List use the level of assets to eliminate people?" a young man who was eliminated said indignantly and angrily.
The host coldly said, "The Qingyun List evaluates the most excellent and outstanding youth of Jiang Province in the last five years. If you can’t even make it into the top hundred in terms of assets, how can you claim to be excellent?"
The young man who objected was imdiately dragged out by two security personnel.
Standing in the crowd, Ning Fan couldn’t help but reflect on the host’s words. Although they seed crass and rcenary, the reality was precisely that.
Money cannot prove one’s excellence, but truly excellent people never lack money.
It appears that founding Tianling Biology was the right move, otherwise, he might not have even passed the first checkpoint of the Qingyun List’s Literary Evaluation.
Soon, the competition area in the middle of the hall was left with only a hundred people.
It was unclear how the Qingyun List’s organizers had determined the assets of the participants, but according to the estimates of the audience in the stands, it seed quite accurate.
For example, an executive from a big company in the provincial city, with assets of about tens of millions, was ruthlessly eliminated.
Another upstart from a small place, with a conservative estimation of assets over a billion, was allowed to stay.
Before long, only a hundred people remained in the competition area on the first floor, all watched by countless eyes.
"Look, Qing Cheng, Ning Fan has already passed the first checkpoint."
In the private box on the third floor of the stands, Xu Yourong said with a small smile upon spotting Ning Fan among the crowd.
"It’s just the first checkpoint, don’t be too happy just yet," Su Qingcheng pursed her lips.
"Ning Fan, you really showed up! I want you dead! Heh heh!"
In another box, Zhao Xingyan’s face showed a venomous look.
"Young Master Ning, hehe, I hope you won’t disappoint ..."
Yuan Huaiyi gently stroked his beard.
"Hmph, so your assets actually made it into the top hundred among the young talents of Jiang Province? I really underestimated you before. Fine, even so, I want to see just how many rounds you can survive!"
Mu Wanqing, in her military attire, huffed softly.
