Chapter 404: Mister's childhood lover (Part 57)
There were some things where winning wasn't winning and losing wasn't losing.
Too much attachment will trap your thoughts and you will never escape.

Ji Chen sat down beside her and his gaze was a bit off. He wasn't as helpless as before and rather he felt like he had let go.
"Alright, next we invite number thirty four to come up for the challenge."
Luo Qing Chen looked down at her ticket and found it was her number.
But Ji Chen grabbed her hand and shook his head with a faint smile, "Don't go, you aren't his match."
"How do you know that I'm not his match!" Luo Qing Chen said with a smile, "You don't believe in me!"
"The question I had you do last time isn't even at the same level as the one I gave you last time." Ji Chen's eyes sparkled with a look saying that he wasn't willing to let his little assistant be bullied.
"Are you here number thirty four? Are you planning to give up?"
"Here!" Luo Qing Chen suddenly stood up, attracting everyone's attention.
She didn't forget to look down at Ji Chen and say in a soft voice, "If I win tonight, you have to bring me to the Crown Group's anniversary banquet tonight."
After saying this, she turned to move up to the stage.
She left behind her back, causing Ji Chen to reveal a look of pity.
Ke, ke, was she supposed to be his partner?
No matter how he thought of it, he felt a bit excited……
It was like during this long time, it was a feeling he hadn't felt in a while.
It was very strange……
"Ai, this really is funny." Li Sheng looked at her and his eyes were filled with disdain, "Don't blame me for bullying a little girl. I'll give you ten seconds, you can answer first."
"Oh, alright." She picked up the tablet pen and turned to look at the screen with a soft laugh.
The questions appeared on the screen.
Looking up, lifting her hand, and putting the pen down.
This took less than three seconds.
"There's still seven seconds." She turned to look at Li Sheng and gave a shrug, as her expression didn't change at all while she said, "You've already lost."
"Si——" The crowd was filled with an uproar.
A girl that seemed incredibly young actually defeated last year's champion in less than ten seconds of going onto the stage.
People were simply shocked, as whispers began to pass through the conference hall.
Li Sheng looked at the screen in panic before turning to the host, "This doesn't count. I was just going easy on her, I never thought that she would take advantage of this."
"This……" The host said with some difficulty, "Perhaps this isn't too……"
"It doesn't matter." Luo Qing Chen cut off the host with a faint smile before looking at Li Sheng and saying, "My master said that respecting the old is good moral character, it doesn't matter."
"This young miss, what is your master's name?" An old man under the stage pushed up his glasses as he asked Luo Qing Chen.
"Ji Chen."
As soon as he voice fell, she turned to face the screen as her clear eyes lit up.
Perhaps she didn't know it, but this action from her on stage had moved Ji Chen's heart."
"I'll let you be arrogant for a bit." Li Sheng gritted his teeth as he looked at her and spoke.
Then more questions appeared on the screen.
Luo Qing Chen always wrote the answer when Li Sheng had calculated it.
Every time she did this, she allowed Li Sheng to catch her within five seconds.
As time passed, Li Sheng became more and more unfocused and Luo Qing Chen had to wait longer and longer.
When it came to the twentieth question, Luo Qing Chen looked at Li Sheng with his face covered in sweat and his messy hair and said, "Sorry, I don't want to wait any longer."
After saying this, she wrote the answer on her tablet right away and ended the competition.
Chapter 405: Mister's childhood lover (Part 58)
Instantly the crowd was stunned.
This girl who seemed to be seventeen-eighteen on the stage, she showed no fear at all when facing last year's champion.
The most terrifying thing was that she could solve the question so fast, with no need to write her process and directly answer the question.
Einstein once said: Just write the answer and not the process because the process is in the mind and there's no need to write it.
"You….." Li Sheng looked at his empty tablet and his face was red as his eyes turned bloodshot.
He grabbed his chest and slowly raised the tablet in his hand, as he prepared to charge at Luo Qing Chen.
When Luo Qing Chen wanted to go up and punch him, Ji Chen pulled her back and placed her behind him.
God damn! Who's blocking the anger in her heart.
She didn't know why, but when she looked at Li Sheng, she wanted to slap him!
It was because he was too embarrassing, a dog that was all bark and no bite!
One could frequently see boys like this in their youth. They spoke crude words, acted crude, and still felt that they were handsome!
Actually in a girl's heart, it was unknown how annoying these kinds of people were.
In her heart, a real handsome guy was someone who silently stood there like a warm breeze.
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it……" Li Sheng wildly shook his head and held his chest as he roared with a fierce expression, "Impossible, definitely impossible! You must be working together, impossible….."
He was Li Sheng, Li Sheng who had beaten Ji Chen!
The math genius!
How could he lose to a little girl! Impossible, it was definitely impossible!
"Resorting to accusing someone of cheating when you're not good enough, are you shameless?" Li Sheng gave a cold snort. He grabbed Luo Qing Chen's hand and walked off the stage.
At that moment, everyone's eyes were on the math genius girl. She was that dazzling, that stunning.
–
At the same time, Ye Zhi Jin had returned to the Other Shore Cafe after his meeting with Ethan.
Su Lan was still waiting for him, but she was a bit distracted. Tonight was the Crown Group's anniversary banquet and she knew that he didn't need a date, but she still wanted to be his date.
"Ji Chen went to the conference?" Ye Zhi Jin ordered a cup of coffee before sitting down in front of Su Lan.
He got used to drinking coffee over the years, drinking when he slept, drinking when he couldn't sleep.
He felt that if he drank more, he could numb his mind as much as possible and not think about things.
"Un." Su Lan looked up with a faint smile and said, "He said that you would come, so he had me wait here."
After all these years, Su Lan found that she didn't understand Ye Zhi Jin as much as Ji Chen.
There was no one by Ye Zhi Jin's side and she had all those chances, but she could never enter his heart.
"He does quite understand me." Ye Zhi Jin looked at his watch and calmly said, "It's almost time for the anniversary banquet, I'll send you home."
To Ye Zhi Jin, Su Lan was just the daughter of his professor and nothing else.
"Zhi Jin." Su Lan pursed her lips and said, "I want to go to the anniversary banquet with you."
"It's a company celebration, outsiders can't come." His tone was very calm. In his calm as ink eyes, there wasn't even a sparkle.
"But I……"
"Ai, who dropped this bracelet! It's so beautiful, it's rainbow coloured! It's a pity that there's a mark in this red part……"
Ye Zhi Jin's body trembled and his deep eyes sparkled as it scattered layer by layer.
He wildly charged at the source of the sound and slowly picked up the seven coloured bracelet.
His mind kept turning as he tried to recall this bracelet.
