Someone noticed his unsociable reaction and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and called him, "Professor Alexander, what's wrong with you?"
The man seemed to be startled. He reacted greatly, his face turned pale, and he murmured, "It's her? Impossible."
"?"
The others looked at him in confusion.
Alexander didn't look at anyone, just stared in the direction where Qiao Nian went in, lost in thought for a long time.
He seemed to see the sun.
That shouldn't be possible, right
How could that hacker master participate in this kind of competition
He must be dazzled!

The competition ended on time at twelve o'clock. Qiao Nian was the first to come out. After coming out, she picked up her mobile phone at the security check, saw the message from Jian Jin, said hello to Du Mingwei and others, and left.
She left, but Du Mingwei and others did not dare to leave.
Everyone was waiting nervously and excitedly for the final results to come out.
There were cigarette butts scattered on the ground at Du Mingwei's feet. He waited for five minutes, but the results had not yet been updated. He put out the cigarette in his mouth with his hand, his eyebrows twitching, and whispered to the teacher beside him: "What's going on? Why haven't the results come out yet?"
The teacher also shook his head in confusion: "I don't know. The results should be out by now!"
As soon as the words fell.
Someone shouted nervously: "Refreshed!"
Du Mingwei raised his head nervously, but didn't dare to look at it at first. He took a deep breath and then mustered up the courage to look at the screen.
NO.1, Qiao Nian, Country Z, Department of Chinese Medicine, Tsinghua University!
The first row of red regular script marked the results of Group C, and it was thoughtfully translated into a foreign language and written clearly.
NO.1, QIAONIAN, Country Z!
Qiao Nian, Country Z, number one!
Du Mingwei could hardly believe the ranking he saw. His mind went blank for a long time and he couldn't think of anything. He stared at the results scrolling on the screen in a daze and asked the person next to him in a vague voice: "I think I saw Qiao Nian took first place in Group C."
"Professor Du, be more confident and remove the word 'as if'!" The teacher's voice trembled with excitement: "Qiao Nian won first place in Group C, and we have entered the finals this year!"
First!
It’s really the first!
Du Mingwei took a deep breath, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and confirmed again.
The font on the screen is still scrolling.
But no matter how you look at it, the person standing high at the top is a name they are familiar with.
NO.1, Qiao Nian, Country Z!
Du Mingwei clenched his fists excitedly, his eyes reddened, and he immediately said to the teachers who were cheering excitedly, "I'll call Principal Liang and tell him the good news."
He was so happy that he almost lost his way while walking. He walked around for a while before he walked out of the art building and found a quiet place to make a phone call.

Ye family in Beijing.
Liang Conglin was still drinking tea with Mr. Ye. Looking at the energetic old man leisurely trimming the branches of flowers in front of him, he drank the whole pot of tea and finally couldn't help talking to Ye Maoshan.
"Mr. Ye, what on earth do you want me to do today?"
Ye Maoshan glanced at him, slowly put down the scissors in his hand, took off his thread gloves, and put them on the flower stand. He was very calm and said, "It's okay. I just asked you to come and see how my pot of Clivia is blooming."
Liang Conglin: …
Ye Maoshan came back, picked up the cup of tea in front of him, took a sip leisurely, put the cup down, and glanced at the anxious middle-aged man. He seemed not to notice that Liang Conglin was worried, and asked with a smile: "How is my pot of Clivia blooming?"
