“Sigh, I hope so!” Du Mingwei’s expression was complicated. He opened his mouth to say something but just sighed in the end. That was all he could do.
As they spoke…
There was a knock on the office door.
They looked up and saw the girl at the door with a shoulder bag.
Qiao Nian was dressed in her usual simple and cool outfit. She wore a short-sleeved checkered shirt over a T-shirt, black pants, black canvas shoes, and a baseball cap. The brim of her cap was pulled down low. She looked rather cool, but it didn’t affect her outstanding aura.
Du Mingwei and Liang Conglin looked at her as if she was their savior.
Du Mingwei showed the biggest reaction. He immediately went up to greet the girl. “Qiao Nian, you’re here? The USB flash drive…”
Liang Conglin followed.
A few computer professors in his office had the same reaction as him. They waited nervously for the girl’s answer.
That was the answer that would determine their fate.
The girl hadn’t expected to see so many people in the office. She glanced up, her eyes dark and deep. She strode in, pulled on the brim of her cap, and pulled a brand-new flash drive out of her pocket. She handed it to Du Mingwei. Her voice was low and husky, making him feel rested. “Done.”
“You’re done?” Du Mingwei took the USB flash drive in a daze. He hadn’t expected Qiao Nian to really re-create a software system in such a short time. Holding the USB flash drive, he couldn’t suppress the joy in his heart. The corners of his mouth almost reached his ears, and he couldn’t suppress his excitement. Ignoring Liang Conglin and the others, he hurriedly ran out as he said, “I’ll submit this first. You guys chat.”
He ran as fast as he could, as if afraid he would be too late.
In fact, there were more than two hours until the deadline. Plenty of time.
But it did not affect Du Mingwei’s excitement.
Du Mingwei left.
Liang Conglin breathed a sigh of relief. He looked warmly at the girl who was planning to leave.
“Qiao Nian.”
The girl stopped, turned around, and raised her head slightly. Her exquisite face under the baseball cap was overly ostentatious and beautiful. Her expression seemed a little puzzled as she wondered why Liang Conglin called her.
Still, she gave him face and waited.
Her phone rang at this moment.
Qiao Nian picked it up and glanced at it. It was Jian Jin.
She rejected the call unhurriedly, then asked Liang Conglin patiently, “Principal Liang, is there anything else?”
It wasn’t the first time Liang Conglin had seen her face under the cap, but he had to admit that Qiao Nian was one of the best-looking people he had ever seen.
Of course, one of them was the man from the Ye family.
He composed himself and came back to the present. “I’ll have to trouble you with the flash drive,” he said gently. “We’re going to take a trip around the city after it’s handed in. I’ll probably book you a flight in the next few days. I’ll come with you, then.”
He paused for a moment, as if afraid of giving the person in front of him too much pressure. Then, he narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice, “Qiao Nian, are you confident in this competition?”
Qiao Nian had thought that he was going to ask her something important, but this was what he was asking.
Confidence…
She was distracted for a moment, but then her eyes were dark and heavy again, then bright and arrogant.
Jian Jin called again.
With one hand in her pocket, Qiao Nian didn’t answer or reject it. She raised her head and met Liang Conglin’s eyes. Her tone was cold and contained a hint of arrogance that she couldn’t suppress. “It’s alright! It won’t be a problem for me to get first place.”
