Qin Si: …
Qin Si was just blocked and speechless, he was completely speechless.
He was too lazy to argue with this group of people. He turned around and looked at his phone. There was a private message from Tangning on his phone.
[Tangning: Master Qin, I heard that Miss Jiang has found a very powerful godmother, and the Jiang family is planning to hold a family recognition party. I’m worried that this may be directed at Miss Qiao. Please help me tell Master Wang.]
Jiang Xianrou wants to recognize a godmother
Qin Si was a little stunned and didn't understand what Jiang Xianrou was trying to do.
He had the same idea as Tangning.
Their first reaction was to worry that Jiang Xianrou was going after Qiao Nian.
He remained silent for a moment, then replied to Tang Ning's message, asking her not to spread the word outside. He then sent Ye Wangchuan a screenshot of the WeChat message Tang Ning had sent him.

The next day.
Software competition day.
The weather was clear around the city, the sky was as blue as a piece of blue paper, and a few thin white clouds, as if melted by the sun, floated slowly in the wind.
Qiao Nian arrived at the competition venue at nine o'clock.
After she said hello to Ye Wangchuan and the others, they went their separate ways.
Qin Si and the others went to the audience seats.
Qiao Nian, Liang Conglin, Du Mingwei and others went backstage to make preparations.
Contestants from each country have a separate lounge, and Qiao Nian also has a special lounge.
Her lounge is not big. Besides a sofa, there is only a dressing table and a water dispenser.
Qiao Nian didn't stay in the lounge for long before Du Mingwei came to her and said he wanted to introduce her to the people from the International IT Association.
She temporarily put her things in the lounge, took her cell phone and baseball cap and went out.
…
Not long after she left, a slender figure appeared backstage.
After Qiao Chen communicated with the staff, the staff let her in.
She walked along the backstage corridor, searching room by room for Qiao Nian. Finally, she saw Qiao Nian's name on the door of the second-to-last room in the backstage.
Qing Dynasty Qiao Nian.
Qiao Chen stood at the door and looked up to see the nameplate that was tightly pasted on the door. The words "Tsing Hua University" deeply hurt her eyes.
She lowered her eyelashes, clenched her hands into fists at her sides, and after hesitating at the door for a few seconds, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.
“Knock, knock.”
No one opened the door when she knocked the first time.
Qiao Chen’s face turned pale, and her watery eyes could not hide the humiliation.
She took a deep breath, raised her wrist again, and knocked on the door once more.
This time she learned her lesson and called out weakly, "Sister, are you there? It's me."
Qiao Chen knocked on the door hard. Firstly, she felt aggrieved, and secondly, she was afraid that Qiao Nian would continue to pretend to be deaf and ignore her.
Who knew that she knocked hard and the door of the lounge opened in front of her with a creaky sound.
Qiao Chen didn't react for a moment.
It took her a moment to realize that the door was not closed properly.
She didn't know what was going on inside. After taking a deep breath, Qiao Chen pushed open the door and walked in while talking.
"I want to talk to you about something."
When Qiao Chen walked in, she found that the lounge was empty.
She stopped talking abruptly, not expecting Qiao Nian to not be inside.
Qiao Chen came here specifically, originally wanting to talk to Qiao Nian and ask her to show mercy and let him go, but in the end he got nothing.
She was about to turn around and leave when she suddenly caught a glimpse of the black backpack that Qiao Nian had casually placed on the dressing table before leaving.
