Hidden identities of the AI Heiress-Chapter 940: Please Do a Small Favor for the Referee
Su Qingqing nodded. Right, win or lose, her cousin was simply the best.
...
After entering the venue, Qiao Yun didn’t go to the competition area with Li Hanzhou. She needed to find Han Si first and told Li Hanzhou to go to the spectator seats ahead.
Li Hanzhou ruffled Qiao Yun’s hair. "I’ll be sitting in the front row, remember to look at me."
Qiao Yun muttered, "Why should I look at you?"
Li Hanzhou matter-of-factly said, "To give you more confidence."
Qiao Yun said expressionlessly, "I am confident."
"Hmm, I know." His tone was as if he was coaxing a child.
Qiao Yun choked up, feeling teased, and didn’t want to deal with him anymore.
Li Hanzhou said, "My family is here too. My grandpa asked me to cheer you on, and my grandma also came. Let’s find time for a meal after it ends, my grandma has always wanted to meet you."
Qiao Yun felt oddly nervous, not because of the competition but because she was about to meet Grandma Li.
With the entire Li Family turning out to watch the competition, Qiao Yun felt the pressure mounting.
All she did was teach those who wanted to bully Tianqi a lesson like she always did, but now it felt like things were going off track.
The Su Family, the Lu Family, the Li Family, and her classmates... Alexander.
Qiao Yun frowned in distress and murmured softly, "This isn’t necessary."
Li Hanzhou told her, "They’re just concerned about you, and maybe they’re afraid you’ll be bullied."
"Oh." Qiao Yun was quite touched inside. She calmed down and said, "You can go."
"See you later."
"Okay."
Qiao Yun nodded her head.
Just as she was about to look for Han Si, she received a call from Simon.
"Q, have you arrived?"
Qiao Yun walked and talked, "I have."
"Where are you? I’ll come to you."
Qiao Yun thought for a moment and said, "I’ll come to you."
"Okay, I’m in the lounge."
Simon gave Qiao Yun a location.
After hanging up, Qiao Yun went to find Simon but unexpectedly bumped into Darren and his group.
Darren looked haughty. Upon seeing Qiao Yun, his chin lifted slightly and he sneered, "I didn’t expect you to be so courageous to actually show up."
Jiang Jing was also looking at Qiao Yun, with deep resentment hidden in her eyes.
Qiao Yun didn’t even glance at them, wanting to walk past without acknowledging them.
Being ignored, Darren immediately became discontented. He stretched out his hand to block Qiao Yun, saying malevolently, "Are you really Professor Qiao’s student?"
Qiao Yun gave him a sidelong glance.
Darren said arrogantly, "Even if you are Professor Qiao’s student, so what? Today’s number one is the Future Alliance. Kid, I advise you to drop out of the competition soon, or else you’ll end up crying."
Qiao Yun blinked and asked, "Are you provoking me?"
Darren shrugged, "Oh, no, I’m feeling sorry for you."
Qiao Yun curled her lip and bluntly said, "You’re wrong, indeed you’re number one – the last one on the list."
Darren was stunned.
Was he being looked down upon?
This little brat was too arrogant.
Qiao Yun didn’t want to waste her time on them. She had seen such provocations many times and wanted to leave with her face still cold.
Darren was furious, "You stop right there..."
Qiao Yun didn’t even bother to acknowledge him.
Why should she stop? He was nobody to her.
Darren thought angrily, very well, you’ve angered me, I’ll make sure you end up crying!
...
Waiting room.
Simon was idly waiting for Qiao Yun when there was a knock on the door of the waiting room, followed by a voice.
"Mr. Simon, someone is looking for you."
Simon thought it was Qiao Yun who had arrived and smugly thought to himself that his Juliet must also miss him dearly; otherwise, why would she have come so quickly?
He opened the door with joy, only to come face-to-face with a middle-aged man.
Simon: ?
Where is his Juliet, and who is this stinky man in front of him?
The middle-aged man courteously said, "Mr. Simon, may I come in for a chat? I have something to discuss with you."
Simon frowned.
Normally, only people with a pass could enter a referee’s waiting room. Clearly, this man didn’t have one, which meant he must have bribed a staff member to be let in.
Simon hesitated for a moment, then stepped aside, "Come in."
After the middle-aged man entered, he looked around, making sure no one else was there before closing the door tightly.
"What do you want?" Simon, with his legs crossed, was cracking sunflower seeds, looking quite relaxed.
The middle-aged man twitched his eyes and took an envelope from his bosom: "This is from my Family Head to you."
Simon took a glance and his expression turned serious: "What are you trying to do?"
The middle-aged man thought Simon was on board and cheerfully made his request: "My Family Head just wants to ask you for a little favor during the exchange competition..."
Without letting him finish, Simon abruptly threw the envelope back at the man, saying angrily, "Fuck, you’re insulting my integrity, Get out!"
The middle-aged man was stunned, "Wouldn’t you want to see what’s inside the envelope first, Mr. Simon?"
"No need!" Simon’s face was stern as he pointed to the door again: "Out!"
The middle-aged man’s face went red with frustration; which idiot said the people from the Technology Association were both stingy and greedy?
Fearing the situation might escalate, he sulkily picked up the envelope and left.
Simon slammed the door with a bang, brushed his hands off, and snorted coldly.
Though he is stingy, it doesn’t mean he would stoop to such despicable acts.
He was angry, feeling insulted, so when Qiao Yun came over, he complained: "Q, I’ve been insulted, they actually tried to bribe me to cheat in the exchange competition."
Qiao Yun did not comfort him but got straight to the point: "Cheat against whom?"
Simon was stunned, confused: "I don’t know, I didn’t ask. Should I call him back?"
Qiao Yun: "..."
She suddenly recalled a phrase, what use are you to me?
She had a hunch that this might have something to do with her, but unfortunately, they had approached the wrong person.
Seeing Simon still looking indignant, Qiao Yun said, "You should have taken the money."
Simon gave a look as if she were joking.
Qiao Yun said, "Then use it as evidence to catch the person who insulted you."
Simon: "..."
Right, why didn’t he think of that?
Is it too late to regret it now?
To placate Simon and because she felt this might be connected to her, Qiao Yun promised to treat him to something nice afterwards, and only then did an elated Simon let her go and stop pestering her.
Once released by Simon, Qiao Yun hurriedly left the waiting room, or else Simon would just go on and on.
As for someone wanting to cheat in the exchange competition.
Qiao Yun took out her phone and succinctly informed Pei Ya of the matter, asking him to investigate.
After receiving Pei Ya’s response and putting away her phone, a person approached her respectfully, saying, "Miss Qiao, Professor Han is looking for you."
Qiao Yun eyed him and asked, "Where is she?"
The staff member smiled slightly, "Please follow me, I’ll take you there."
Qiao Yun’s clear-cut eyes scrutinizing him for a while before she slowly nodded, "Alright."
