Top Student: Experience Infinite Occupations Chapter 79 – 79 Gathering

79 Gathering

At 10 o'clock the following morning, Tian Wenming brought Li Chengqian and the others to the entrance of the Big Data Center. A countdown timer was displayed on the big screen of the Big Data Center.

In the square at the entrance, many students were carrying suitcases. They gathered in groups of twos and threes, waiting to see the results of the competition.

There was 1 minute and 27 seconds before the provincial rankings were announced…

He Hongyun was also standing behind Tian Wenming. He had wanted to look for He Jingguo because He Jingguo had yet to return home and was still uncontactable.

But he was very concerned about the bet between him and Li Chengqian.

Therefore, he also came over.

The countdown ticked by. Soon, a ranking list replaced the countdown timer on the big screen.

Under everyone's expectant gazes, information on the top ten teams for the Jinshan Province Junior Informatics Programming Competition was finally displayed on the big screen.

First place: Tianyi High School, Li Chengqian's team. Theory 100 marks. Hands-on programming 100 marks. Grand total 100 marks (Total score = theory score*0.4+ hands-on programming*0.6). Instructor: Tian Wenming.

Second place: Tianbao First High School. Du Siyu's team. Theory 90 marks. Hands-on programming 94 marks. Grand total 92.4 marks. Instructor: Zeng Kaixin.

Fifth place: Tianyi High School. Bi Jialiang's team. Theory 73 marks. Hands-on programming 90 marks. Grand total 83.2 marks. Instructor: Tian Wenming.

“Captain, we're number one in the province!” Zhao Peng shouted excitedly when he saw the results.

Although Ding Ling had already expected this ranking, she was still so excited that her face turned red the moment the results were out.

“How is this possible! Li Chengqian actually got full marks in hands-on programming again!” He Hongyun's eyes almost fell out of their sockets. He was stunned.

He Hongyun was looking forward to beating Li Chengqian in the hands-on programming segment. After seeing the results displayed on the big screen, he only felt a burning sensation on his face.

After Jian Qingli saw Li Chengqian's team's score and ranking, she was filled with immense regret. She still remembered that before the competition began, Li Chengqian had invited her twice, but she had rejected him both times.

At that time, she said that Li Chengqian was a joke. Now, it seemed that the joke was actually on her.

Although she had gotten fifth place in the province on account of He Hongyun and Bi Jialiang's efforts, she felt like crying when she saw that Li Chengqian came in first in the province.

“How is this possible? This is impossible.” Bi Jialiang looked as if he had seen a ghost. He couldn't accept that Li Chengqian had scored full marks in the hands-on programming segment.

Bi Jialiang had seen with his own eyes how Li Chengqian was learning typing in the school library. His typing speed was like a snail, he was especially slow.

“Good, that's great!” Tian Wenming's serious expression finally changed, and excitement finally showed on his face. He looked at Li Chengqian with extreme surprise.

Only his name appeared twice on the big screen.

This was definitely the proudest moment in his life.

“Li Chengqian, kid, you're really amazing. Even I have misjudged you!” Tian Wenming praised Li Chengqian with a face full of admiration. He gave him a thumbs up and piled effusive praise on him.

At the same time, he took out his phone and took a photo of the big screen, then he posted it on his WeChat moments immediately!

“He Hongyun, you guys are not bad either! You're ranked fifth in the province.” Tian Wenming looked at He Hongyun and his team, and praised them.

At this moment, Zhao Peng stepped in front of He Hongyun. “He Hongyun, didn't you say that you would definitely beat Li Chengqian in the hands-on programming segment? You're really good, you scored 90 marks. Unfortunately, Li Chengqian scored 100 marks, so you still didn't win.”

Ever since the results came out, He Hongyun had been worried that Li Chengqian would quote what he had said when he entered the competition hall.

When He Hongyun heard what Zhao Peng said, the arrogance on his face disappeared. He was mortified and distraught by Zhao Peng's taunt.

It is unkind to rub salt on one's wound..

Zhao Peng was simply rubbing his nose in it.

This made He Hongyun feel extremely embarrassed.

“So what if he won!” He Hongyun replied indignantly. “What are you guys so smug about? So what if his programming skills are good? When he graduates, he'll still be working for other companies.”

“Although I didn't win in hands-on programming, you can never beat me in life.” He Hongyun regained his confidence immediately when he thought of the 20 million yuan contract with the provincial office. He was his old arrogant self again.

“My family earns at least 20 million yuan a year. As for you, 200,000 yuan a year after graduation will be considered high income. Based on 200,000 yuan per annum, you'll need to work for 100 years to earn the money my family earns in a year.”

“This competition is a major event in your lives. If you do well, you can enroll in Divine Dragon University. You might be able to earn a high annual income of 200,000 yuan in the future.”

“As for me, it's just an interest. Besides, it doesn't matter how many marks I score or what place I get because I don't lack money or work.”

“So, what is there to be so smug about?” He Hongyun pointed at Zhao Peng and became even more arrogant.

“You study hard and think that you've groomed yourself very well. In the end, it's just to find a job.”

“So, why are you so smug in front of me?”

“You…” Zhao Peng's face contorted in anger.

“You what? Zhao Peng, do you know why I don't like to work with you? I'll be upfront here and say something to you honestly, it's because I've never been on the same level as you guys.” He Hongyun sneered. He no longer held back and spoke his mind freely.

In fact, he had wanted to say this for a long time.

Because of his family, he had felt superior since he was young. He felt that he was smarter than others.

A few days ago, He Jingguo told him that he was going to clinch a 20 million yuan contract soon. His superior sense of self was immediately further inflated.

“He Hongyun, don't be too arrogant! No matter how rich your family is, it was earned by your elders, not you. What are you so smug about?” Zhao Peng was furious.

Even Tian Wenming was extremely surprised by He Hongyun's words. Although he had felt that there was something wrong with He Hongyun's worldview, he really didn't expect He Hongyun to say such words.

“He Jingguo didn't teach his son well. He's too arrogant. He's bound to get into trouble sooner or later.” He thought to himself.

“Hahaha… I know, you are envious of me, jealous of me…” He Hongyun laughed proudly.

While He Hongyun was laughing, a taxi pulled up by the roadside. Chen Li and Li Tianlan were extremely excited and got out of the car with smiles on their faces. They were holding the contract that they had just signed.

“Honey, all of this is like a dream.” Li Tianlan sighed.

“This is what they mean by your early life depends on your parents and your latter life depends on your child. When a child is successful, the parents will naturally benefit from it.”

“Let's go. Our son is over there. Let's go over quickly and show him the contract. Share the joy with him.” Chen Li looked around and saw Li Chengqian standing at the entrance. She quickly walked over.

Behind Chen Li, another taxi pulled up. He Jingguo, whose face was ashen, got out of the car and followed Chen Li and Li Tianlan.
