Heads-up! The CEO's Wife is a Hidden Big Boss! novel Chapter 794

Chapter 794: Who Told You That We’d Be Returning To The Capital Later?

Editor: Atlas Studios

Early the next morning, in the Elders’ Association’s Council House.

The bald man knocked on the door to Huo Zhi’s office twice and walked in. "Sir, I just heard that Ms. Gu’s competition results weren’t... very good."

He phrased it in a rather indirect manner.

Such trivial matters usually never reached Huo Zhi’s ears at all. But since Gu Mang was there, Huo Zhi made his subordinate pay some attention to what was happening.

Huo Zhi stopped in the middle of signing something and he looked up. "Will her grades ever be bad?"

His impression of Gu Mang was that there is nothing that she could not do. It was all up to whether or not she cared to do them.

However, Gu Mang did not know how to hide her talent and was used to doing things obnoxiously. That made her suffer losses easily.

But now...

Huo Zhi realized that he was thinking too much and he put away his thoughts. He knew that Leng Xuan had purposely added Gu Mang’s name onto Capital University’s roster just before the competition.

But it shouldn’t have mattered to Gu Mang.

If she wanted to win the competition, she would surely beat all of them badly.

Did she do badly on purpose or were there other reasons...

The bald man answered, "I have already asked Tang Er. Ms. Gu ranked last, 59. The information is verified."

When Huo Zhi heard this, he furrowed his eyebrows. This did not sound like Gu Mang at all. Since Leng Xuan could actually tamper with the participants’ name list regardless of her status, she was capable of doing other things as well.

He just wished that Leng Xuan had not sought death over such a trivial matter.

He thought for a while and said, "Keep watching what’s going on at the Academic Center."

The bald man answered, "Yes."

...

At the hotel. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Yang Tianming, Professor Xue, and a group of students finished their breakfast. Then, they brought out their luggage from their rooms and placed them on the porch. Gu Mang came out with only her black backpack. She did not have any of her luggage packed.

Yang Tianming asked, "Gu Mang, did you not pack up?"

Gu Mang stopped typing on her phone and she looked up politely to respond. "Yeah."

"You didn’t pack up? Are you going to make all of us wait for you when we return to the capital again?" Qiao You was livid when she saw how calm and relaxed Gu Mang looked.

All thanks to Gu Mang.

International competitions paid great attention to etiquette. Therefore, there was a ceremony during the announcement of the competition results where the winning team and the losing team would shake hands.

The professor from Imperial College sat beside Professor Yang Tianming.

The competition between the students did not cause any conflict between the two equally successful schools.

The professors from the two schools conversed about academic issues in fluent English.

Gu Mang was texting Lu Chengzhou on the phone. [Have you prepared all the evidence?]

On the other end, Lu Chengzhou leaned on his sofa lazily with a lollipop in hand.

He smiled and typed with one hand as he replied, [Done. Once you give the order, I will take action."

Gu Mang narrowed her eyes.

At 9am.

The MC, who was dressed in a formal professional suit, came on stage and smiled. "Good morning, everyone. I believe that all of you are really nervous about the upcoming release of results. Without further ado, let’s look at the scores of each team."

Instantly, the atmosphere in the hall got tense.
