Chapter 498: The Crown in the Darkness (25)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yan Zhan didn’t get up until nine o’clock the next day. What happened yesterday was like a dream. He woke up alone but didn’t think too much, and he went downstairs after dress himself up.

There was only Green Hair sitting in the living room, who was lecturing his men. As he saw Yan Zhan come down, Green Hair immediately stood up.

“Yama Yan.”

“Where’s Wen Yi?”

Green Hair swallowed, “Big Miss has gone. Yama Yan, you can also leave at any time.”

Yan Zhan: “…”

She ran away again?

After sleeping one night with him?

No, wait, why am I saying AGAIN?

Okay, this is not important. What’s important is, that psychopath slept with him and she wants to be irresponsible now?

With his identity, sleeping with him for one night should be worth one million at least, right? But she wanted to finish this so simply!

“Oh right, big miss told me to give you this.” Green Hair passed an envelope to him with trembling hands.

Yan Zhan grabbed it right away. He opened it to see a card and a note.

— Poor skills, so I’ll barely pay 500 thousand.

Yan Zhan pinched the card and felt the violence factors running all over his body.

F**k, what kind of person does she think of me, a pleaser?

Poor skills? Who pressed me and didn’t let me move!

This is a total slander!

I’m not buying this!

I’ll gather my people and destroy her team right now. Let me see how will she be so arrogant.

You’ll cry when you break the bank.

Yan Zhan wanted to throw away the card, but in the end, he still put it into his pocket like it was a treasure. He left the villa aggressively and called his men to pick him up, heading all the way to Jiangzhou.

He returned to dispose the remaining unimportant minions very quickly and effectively.

It was not Ming Shu’s first time to be irresponsible, so she didn’t have any mental stress at all. She ate and drank just as usual.

And when she had some free time, she would also go to Ji Yue’an and freeloaded for food.

Ji Yue’an had passed the preliminary contest of the match he participated. During the process, Liang Chen sent some people to cause troubles again several times, but Ji Yue’an had gotten alerted, so Liang Chen didn’t succeed.

Liang Chen’s Fusheng Technology walked ahead of the technology the whole time, so there wouldn’t have any problem for him to get into the final round as well. Unsurprisingly, in the final match one month later, Ming Shu ran into Liang Chen.

Having not been seen for some time, Liang Chen changed from a playboy to a tyrant boss, surrounded by the crowd. There’s also a woman standing beside him, who was no others but the Fan Xueni that pursued Ji Yue’an closely before.

It looked like Liang Chen didn’t give up his great plan to grab all the girls around the male protagonist.

Fan Xueni was in brand-name clothes from tip to toe. She held Liang Chen’s arm like a proud princess. Especially when she saw Ji Yue’an, she even straightened up on purpose.

“Miss Wen, what a small world.” Liang Chen stopped before Ming Shu and deliberately put his arm around Fan Xueni’s waist.

“Yes, it is. Are you happy?” Ming Shu tilted her head and smiled. “Are you happy enough to cry in tears?”

Liang Chen curled a cold smile on his mouth corners. “Of course I’m very happy to meet you, Miss Wen. But I’m afraid you’ll be crying later.”

“Of course we’ll cry, because we’ll get the first prize.” Ming Shu smiled.

“Miss Wen, your confidence is really impressive.” Liang Chen also smiled, with the gloominess hidden in the bottom of his eyes. “But it’s not so easy to win the first prize, you should be aware of not making a fool of yourself, Miss Wen.”

“That doesn’t matter, I can buy the first prize.” My confidence is set up based on snacks, so what will you say?

Liang Chen: “…”

The surrounding people were very surprised to hear such a sentence. This is a serious technology match, how can she buy the first prize? Does she think it’s just a game?

Most of the participants were young people and very few of them knew Ming Shu. They automatically included Ming Shu into the class of misses from rich families.

“Ho, what do you think this match is, you wish to buy the honor?” Fan Xueni grunted. Recently, Ji Yue’an was very close to this woman, so Fan Xueni walked close to Liang Chen partly because of the anger. Yet Ji Yue’an didn’t care about her at all.

“Money makes the mare go. If it can’t be solved by money… I have this.” Ming Shu shook her fist.

I am a reasonable person.

The opposite girl wore a tender smile on her face, but Fan Xueni couldn’t help taking a step back. She held Liang Chen’s arm and looked at her alertly and grudgingly.

It’s all because of her… that Ji Yue’an ignored me. What’s good of her, really.

Liang Chen remained a smile, “Then we’ll just wait and see.”

Then Liang Chen entered the venue with Fan Xueni, but Ming Shu didn’t move. After Liang Chen walked afar, Ji Yue’an uttered, “It seems you have a grudge against Liang Chen?”

“No.” Why do I have a grudge against him? I’m only for Hatred Points and my snacks.

Snacks are justice.

“No? Why is it like you don’t like him?”

Ming Shu thought for a while, “Because he can’t cook.”

“…” Very good, this is a powerful and enough reason. “Okay, let’s go in.”

The several people in Ji Yue’an’s company all awaited inside. They were a little nervous now, as well as somewhat excited.

Their seats were arranged at a late position, while Liang Chen sat in the front. He suddenly looked back and revealed a meaningful smile to Ming Shu.

“Why is he smiling like that?” Ming Shu poked Ji Yue’an, “so insidious.”

Ji Yue’an shook his head, then asked the best friend beside him a little worriedly, “Did you check everything? Is there any problem?”

“I’ve checked, nothing is wrong.” His best friend promised.

Their entry had been handed over to the working staff now, and they could get it later when the presentation began.

They left one person to watch on the backstage, so there shouldn’t have any problem…

But Liang Chen’s weird smile made Ji Yue’an a little uneasy.

Fusheng Technology presented an advanced robot which was far more flexible than those in today, and it gained a unanimous praise from the official judge.

The next should be Ji Yue’an.

Their entry didn’t change much, only with a few functions added comparing to the preliminary round, which could enable a more real experience for the people.

Ji Yue’an presented the functions clearly and orderly, then he invited someone to try on the stage.

This thing was not like a robot that could show itself, you needed to wear it in person and experienced it for real, then you could judge. So all the judges would try it one by one.

But the first person that would try was from the official side, which was to prevent any unsurprising problem.

After the first one tried and said there’s no problem, he passed the product to the judges. However, the first judge frowned as he put on the hololens and even shook his head afterwards.

Ji Yue’an felt a click in his heart.

There is really something wrong…

He subconsciously looked toward Ming Shu, but the latter was eating snacks with the legs crossed, which was very eye-catching in the group of quiet audience.

“Mister Ji, this is very unstable,” finally one of the judges uttered. “The picture is fault, and it feels dizzy when you put it on. Honestly, this is not even as good as the one you presented in the preliminary…”

“How come.” Ji Yue’an shook his head. The one they presented in the first round was by no means a match for this one.

Ji Yue’an noticed Liang Chen was still smiling calmly below. He knew it must be his trick.

He calmed down a bit and asked the Host if he could come to the stage and take a look.

The Host asked for the judges’ opinions, then agreed.

It was pretty much like what the judges had commented – there was some problems. He didn’t know what Liang Chen had done, but…

Ji Yue’an bowed slightly. “This one is really having some issues, but we also brought the back up one. Judges, could I have one more chance.”

The key point of this technology competition was not the competition, but technology. Those who sat below were mostly big figures from the science and technology industry, so what they wanted to see was the advanced technology.

Ji Yue’an’s request was a little out of line, but he didn’t request for changing another type of entry, but only an equipment. So after the discussion, they agreed.
