All the judges started to take their seats as the competition was about to start. The stage had been ready for the participants to give their presentation and get the chance to impress the judges. There were special seats allocated for the investors of the projects.
One of the biggest benefits of this competition was that the students will get the chance of exposure and chance to showcase their talents. The investors get the benefit to invest money on these projects that can bring benefits in their business and other than that they get the contact of other big businessman
Lu Rayansh was never interested in getting those contacts. He was more interested in some of the good projects. It doesn't affect him if the project he were to invest in wins or not. What matters for him is that the idea behind the project of these youngsters needs to be unique. But now the situation is different. He had full confidence that those kids would be able to win this competition without any hurdles.
"Mr. Chen, your son is also participating in this competition. Why didn't you invest in your son's project? It could bring benefits to your company." One of Chen Yiren's fathers acquaintances asked.
Mr. Chen fixed his glasses and said in a humble tone, "I really want to invest in his project. Sigh... this kid wants to do things without my help."
Even though he was trying to be humble, the smug expression on his face was not missed by the people who were sitting beside him. They started to envy him for having such a smart son.
"Mr. Chen, I really envy you for having such a smart son. He is really an honest man. I believe he will definitely win this competition." Someone said,
"We can't decide who will win. I hope that Yiren will win this competition." Mr. Chen really felt proud of his son. Because of him, he was flattered by these people.
Not far away, Su Anya saw all these farces. She still remember that how does this pair of father and son played an important role in expelling her from the school
In her past life, Mr. Chen had insulted her by saying, "I know a girl like you getting into the upper class can do anything. I don't want you to interfere in my son's life. So, get out of this city. Otherwise, It will not be good for you." At that time the malicious glint in his eyes scared her. She moved out of the city to live a peaceful life.
"Anya." Lu Rayansh called her. He saw her dazedly standing there alone. He thought that she must have missed her aunt.
"You should be with your team. They must have been looking for you." He said with a smile.
She came back to her senses after hearing him. She looked at him dazedly and opened her mouth to say, "Why are you ghosting me? If you want something from me, say it directly."
She could see for the past few days he had been in contact with her very frequently. At that time she didn't think about this as her aunt's death was already a big shock for her. Now, she was in her right state of mind and wanted to clear his intentions towards her.
Lu Rayansh looked at her building's higher wall around her. He really wants to pinch his face for her over cautious behavior. "I don't have any bad intentions towards you. You could say, I really want our team to win this competition. As we can see this competition holds very importance in your heart."
He moved his face closer to her and looked straight into her eyes and said, "I want you to do whatever you like and…" He took a pause and said, "Don't take stress." After that he took a step back to give her some space.
For some reason Su Anya flustered . She felt his words seemed to be ambiguous. But when she remembered how assistant Du warned, her face fell. She coldly looked at him and said, "Mr. Lu, I don't want the people around you to think that I am taking advantage of you. SO, it will be better to keep a distance and maintain our business relationship."
Lu Rayansh could feel that there was some misunderstanding between them. He wanted to make it clear, but it was not the right time and place.
"You don't need to think about these things. Forget about everything and only focus on today's competition."
On the other side, Chen Yiren was planning something against Su Anya.
"You know what you have to do when their team comes on stage for their presentation. I can't tolerate any mistakes. If you expose yourself, you will be on your own. Don't even think about dragging my name. Otherwise, you know what kind of consequences you have to face."
Chen Yiren had already prepared the trap for them. He seems to have a strong hatred towards Su Anya.
When Su Anya performed better in the programming competition than him. He felt threatened, as he was always in the limelight. He was not able to take it when someone is better than him. If such a situation arises he knows how to deal with that person.
'Su Anya, this time I will make sure that you don't have any guts to go against me..." His lips arc in a creepy smile.

"Why is our turn always last? I think someone is plotting against us. " Chen Zhihui said in a dissatisfied tone. He felt like his patience would leave him if he were to wait this long for their turn to give the presentation.
Shen Yue hit the back of his head and said, "It is a good thing that we are the last to give the presentation. We would have enough time to analyze our situation and our opponents."
Chen Zhihui rubbed the back of his head in an exaggerated way. "You guys pay attention to these people. I will take my nap. Wake me up when it is our tur… ouch. Hey, leave my ears."
Shen Yue pulled his ears forcefully. "You are also part of this team. Don't put all the burden on Anya. She was already stressed about this competition and here you are adding more burden on her shoulders."
"Yue Yue, once upon a time there was a time when you were very cute. Now you act like a hooligan." Chen Zhihui said after freeing himself from her clutches.
He saw that Su Anya came there. So he ran towards her, "Leader, she is hitting me."
