The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise

Chapter 320: Face-Slapping – 4

Yuan He flung her sleeve. “Do you have any idea what you are talking about?”

“So I’ll take that as a no? Well, it’s not that I’m looking down on you, but I thought you had more guts than this,” Fu Zhi said, taunting Yuan He.

Yuan He was now standing about one meter away from Fu Zhi. Mia and her group had left long ago, but her colleagues were watching her in front of the screen.

“Who said I don’t have the guts?” Yuan He replied, gritting her teeth. There was no way she would allow a girl younger than her to taunt her like that. Lifting her chin in a haughty manner, she said, “Since you have a death wish, I’ll make it happen for you. If you really can win without relying on Gu Yan or Mia, then I will ask my people to resign from the Physics Association!”

She could not stand the way Fu Zhi acted as if she was above everyone else. She also did not like it that she had put her on the spot by questioning her motive for inviting Mia over for an exchange meeting in public.

Right now, Yuan He wanted nothing more than for Fu Zhi to lose the competition. She wanted her to realize what a difference there was between them and feel sorry for everything she had done to Gu Yan.

With that thought in mind, she said, “If you lose the competition, then you’ll have to apologize to Gu Yan and me in front of the press as well as admit that you’re jealous of Gu Yan and you suppressed her in secret!”

“Sure. If I lose the competition, I will assist you in deceiving the internet again and also help you guys realize that vain dream of yours. After all, this is the only chance you guys have of becoming famous since you don’t have any real skills to back yourselves up,” Fu Zhi said, disregarding Xia Tian, who was trying to hold her back.

The people in the Physics Association were stunned when they listened to the conversation between Fu Zhi and Yuan He. None of them could come back to their senses, as they had not expected that this young girl, who seemed to them to be entirely concerned only about personal grudges, would dare to bet against Yuan He.

Forget about whether or not the exchange meeting would be of help to the team. All of them felt that she was really ignorant when she said that she could win the competition.

After all, everyone knew about the shady practices behind the competition in Country M. It was just that they could not get any solid evidence on their hands, which was why they could not bring Country M to justice.

All of them reckoned that Fu Zhi had to be really full of herself, or she would not have made such a bet against Yuan He.

Sheng Hua was not in the meeting room right now, so his secretary said, “But if we look at the statistics, Gu Yan is the most stable out of the remaining participants. I really don’t suggest you switch her out at the last minute.”

The international Physics competition was divided into two parts. The first part was a written test when each participant would be given a test paper of their own, while the second part was the group assessment when each group would be required to summarize the core idea of the topic given by the examiner, make a presentation, and send an individual to present their idea.

During the written test, each participant would be given 90 minutes to finish the test paper. Each test paper was worth 200 points. The computer would then judge whether the answers given were right or wrong and calculate the points accumulated. Therefore, one could not help each other in a friendly match, and it was practically impossible for the participants to cheat during this part.

However, things were slightly different when it came to the oral presentation. Out of the 10 judges, eight were from Country M, and it was entirely up to them to decide whether they liked their presentation or not.

Theoretically speaking, if they wanted to win, they had to make a lot of effort during the first part.

“You only need to send Zhou Zihuai here. You don’t have to worry about the rest.”

There was no way the secretary would not be worried. “Our chance of winning the competition is very low to begin with, and now you want to replace Gu Yan with Zhou Zihuai? It has been a long time since we won this competition, and do you have any idea how much pressure we’re facing?”

Another person chimed in, “It’s fine for you to lose the competition, but who’s going to help us if we’re attacked on the internet?

“Or did the President give you so much authority that you don’t know how to restrain yourself?
