The Confrontation

Realizing that he had become a clown and was being played, the anger in Fu Sui’s eyes was about to materialize, but he wasn’t so angry that he would lose his mind. He clearly understood that he was the one who brought this up, so if he lost his composure on this occasion, he would really lose all his reputation.

Taking a deep breath, Fu Sui forced a smile.

“If it’s Zhai Jing, then it’s no surprise that he won first place.”

“Zhai Jing is our school’s God of studies. The principal spent a lot of money to invite him back as a gifted student to help the school improve the results of the competition and the enrollment rate,” he introduced.

Mingcheng high school had such a practice, and many people here knew about it, so when they heard Fu Sui’s words, they understood.

Madam Nie’s angry face immediately returned to normal.

“So, this new boyfriend of Miss Le’s is someone who relies on exams to make a living? No wonder your grades are so good. After all, if you don’t do well, you’ll be kicked out of the school and you won’t have the chance to meet a daughter from a rich family like Miss Le.”

Her words were clearly referring to Zhai Jing as a poor boy and a scheming man who got together with her in order to get close to a rich lady.

“Sigh, you can’t say that about him. It’s not easy for Zhai Jing either. He grew up in a single-parent family. His mother has a serious kidney disease and is in urgent need of money.” Fu Sui pretended to be kind and explained, “I heard that his mother just had surgery a few days ago. That’s why he can sit for the college entrance examination with peace of mind.”

“That’s quite a pitiful child, but he’s also quite an inspirational one,” the crowd quickly added. However, he was thinking that Miss Le not only found a poor boy but also paid for his mother’s surgery.

Le Wan was so angry that he almost laughed out loud. What a mouth that could turn right and wrong upside down. Every word he said was the truth, but with such a simple change of sentence structure, it had caused a big misunderstanding.

Le Wan took their words for real and agreed with them.

“Yes, he’s just one person. He’s handsome, smart, and a genius. He’s only 18 this year, but he’s already able to design his own game.” She pointed at Fu sui and said,

“Didn’t he recently take over a gaming company? That’s why he has been chasing after him, wanting to buy the game that Zhai Jing designed.”

Fu Sui had just won a round and shifted everyone’s attention to Zhai Jing. He didn’t expect that Le Wan would suddenly change the topic back to him.

Seeing that everyone was curious, of course, he would not admit that Zhai Jing was such a genius, nor would he admit that he really wanted that game. So, he could only vaguely say,

“I heard that he knows how to design games, and it just so happens that our company needs to develop some new games. Plus, I heard that he was not doing well, so I went to ask him to see if his design skills can be sold. I didn’t expect him to say that he doesn’t need money for the time being and directly reject me.” Fu Sui spread out his hands as if he couldn’t do anything about it.

If it weren’t for Le Wan standing on the opposite side of Fu Sui, she would have clapped and cheered for him.

He had completely avoided the question of Zhai Jing’s ability. After all, he had only heard about it from others and had not seen the game. Hence, he didn’t know if the design was good or not. Le Wan said that he was talented, but who knew if that was true or not?

As for Fu Sui, he wanted to help Zhai Jing out of sympathy. This not only reflected his benevolence but also stepped on Zhai Jing. The sentence “I don’t need money for the time being” corresponded to the first part of his sentence. Why didn’t he need money? It was because he had managed to hook up with Le Wan, a young lady from a rich family.

After listening to the story, Le Wan frowned and asked,

“Is that so? I thought that the price you offered was too low. That’s why Zhai Jing went to discuss the collaboration with other people.”

Fu Sui’s heart skipped a beat.

“He sold the game to someone else?”

Did she mean that the game was not in her hands?

“Yeah, it’s just like what you said. His mother had to go through a lot of trouble to get a kidney and she was waiting for an operation. She was in urgent need of money, so he sold the game to raise the money for the operation.”

The crowd was a little surprised when they heard this. If what Le Wan said was true, this man was quite capable at such a young age, and he also had some backbone. Of course, it was also possible that he was very scheming, so he didn’t care about the gains and losses in front of him. If that was the case, then this eighteen-year-old youth was a little too terrifying.
