Manager Yang had worked under Wang Huazhou, Boss Wang, and was involved in handing the changing of candidates’ criteria for Tianchuang Competition. As such, he knew of the reasons behind the change and was familiar with the name “Gu Xi”.
Gu Xi, as well as Sheng Xiuyan, in fact.
“Oh shoot!” Manager Xu too almost jumped straight up. “Gu Shao? The one at NTN?”
“Who else could it be?”
Manager Xu went silent. “……” He had thought that they were just a few junior high school kids. Who would have thought that there were more to their identities?
The applications were placed by the schools, and they only knew which schools they were from. As such, as long as they were not told, they had no way of knowing the students’ background. Nor would they have the resources to look into them one by one.
Manager Xu put on a smile that looked worse than a cry. Looking over at Manager Yang, he said, “So, would you say that Old Boss Hu had offended the big boss over appeasing a peon?”
Even though both Liu Hingde and Gu Shao were reputable but, when comparing their actual abilities, not even taking the Gu family into account, Liu Dinghe was not even on the same level as Gu Shao.
Besides, they had no idea about Gu Xi’s connection to Gu Shao at the early stages. Obviously, they purposefully hid that on their part as they did want to pull that string. They already came out way ahead of Liu Dehing’s family on that front alone.
Manager Yang looked back at Manager Xu, “I’d say so.”
And not just that Gu Xi. It seemed that Sheng Xiuyan, too, was from an impressive family.

Old Boss Hu, too, seemed to be surprised when they had reported the founding back to him.
After some discussions with the managers working under him, Old Mr. Hu decided to pay Gu Shao a visit in person.
***
Outside the CEO office of NTN, Gu Shao was not surprised to see Old Boss Hu there. He did, nevertheless, asked, “The purpose of Old Boss Hu’s visit was?”
“Em, there is this thing……” Old Boss Hu looked embarrassed and was somewhat nervous facing Gu Shao.

“It’s about the Youth Innovation Competition. It was a mistake on our part. We had made a mistake when evaluating your daughter’s topic. As such, I am here to apologize in person. In addition……” Pausing, Old Boss Hu said, “We will readjust and reinstate her earlier grades. As such, you……”
Before Old Boss Hu could finish what he was saying, he was interrupted by Gu Shao.
“That won’t be necessary,” said Gu Shao as he looked at Old Boss Hu nonchalantly. “I respect the organizer’s final decision.”
Gu Shao’s words made Old Boss Hu’s heart dropped and he looked even more nervous.
Generally speaking, the more someone would say things like “that won’t be necessary” or “it’s fine”, the more serious the issue.
Most importantly, he could tell from Gu Shao’s tone that he didn’t mean “this is over” at all.
After a few seconds of hesitation, Old Boss Hu finally gauged his tone and asked, “What Professor Gu saying is……?”
“I will not be interfering with the organizer’s decision.” Pausing, Gu Shao added, “But I hope that the organizer can allow us the opportunity to prove that the topic is rational and feasible.”
Old Boss Hu was taken aback a little when he heard Gu Shao’s words. He hadn’t expected that Gu Shao’s request was the same as that of his daughter.
When the organizer had asked Gu Xi and her teammates to come to their office and informed them of the organizer’s decision, the three kids also brought up the same request. The vice team lead of the judges’ team accepted the condition.
Old Boss Lu did not think too much of it at the time when he found out that the vice team lead had made that decision on a fly. As far as Old Boss Hu was concerned, it would be too difficult for them to come up with support for their topic. Not even experts might be able to come up with that, let alone a few high school students.
At the time, Old Boss Hu did not think that Gu Xi would turn out to be Gu Shao’s daughter.
If that’s the case, that just might happen.
Thought Old Boss Hu to himself.
Who was Gu Shao? If he was to help out his daughter, proofing a topic’s feasibility just might not be a big deal.
Nevermind about actually coming up with any physical proof, even if Gu Shao was to make the statement that “this topic is perfectly fine”, his words would be worth ten times more than Liu Dehing’s.
