Chapter 70 - 70 Never Apologize

70 Never Apologize

Everyone suddenly fell silent, and then started chattering all at once.

“Someone actually scored full marks!”

“Do you know this person called Li Chengqian? He’s too awesome. He actually scored full marks on such a difficult paper.”

Li Chengqian and the others heard all the chattering around them.

Zhao Peng was even more excited than Li Chengqian. He suddenly turned around and looked at the big screen. When he saw Li Chengqian’s name at the top of the big screen, and saw that he scored 100 marks, Zhao Peng shouted at the top of his lungs, “Li Chengqian, first place, full marks.”

Ding Ling smiled and looked at Li Chengqian with pride. She had never doubted Li Chengqian.

Earlier on, He Hongyun kept saying that Li Chengqian didn’t do well this time and his name wasn’t on the chart. He deliberately showed off in front of Li Chengqian and belittled him.

This made Ding Ling upset, but she kept her cool.

Now that she saw that Li Chengqian’s results were even better than He Hongyun’s and he came in first in this theory test, she felt vindicated and relieved.

He Hongyun, Bi Jialiang, and Jian Qingli turned around and stared at the big screen in disbelief.

When they saw Li Chengqian’s name, ranking, and score clearly, they were dumbfounded.

“That’s impossible. It’s such a difficult paper. How can anyone score full marks? How can someone score higher than me?” He Hongyun’s eyes were filled with disbelief. His face fell. Thinking of what he said to mock Li Chengqian just now, he felt his face burning, and he wished the ground would open up and swallow him.

“How is this possible? How did Li Chengqian do it? Why does he get full marks in every exam?” Bi Jialiang’s face was ashen. He simply couldn’t believe the results he saw. Li Chengqian scored full marks in the second mock exam and in Tian Wenming’s selection exam. And now, in the theory test of the Youth Informatics Programming Competition, he had actually scored full marks too!

Is he still… human?

“How did Li Chengqian become so powerful!” Jian Qingli rubbed her eyes and looked at the scores on the big screen. She was so astonished she stood there mouth agape.

“This kid’s grasp of theory is really amazing! I had underestimated him previously.” Tian Wenming gave Li Chengqian a thumbs up, his eyes filled with admiration.

After seeing Li Chengqian’s score, he understood the reason why Li Chengqian took leave.

Since he was already so advanced in his knowledge, there was naturally no need for He Jingguo’s training. It would have been a waste of time If he attended the training.

“He Hongyun, take a good look. My captain is in first place. He scored 100 marks! You only scored 73 marks! You’re not in first place!”

“I remember you were looking down on our captain just now. You said that he wasn’t even on the chart and that he was arrogant.”

“Look at this result. Look at the gap…” Zhao Peng had an exaggerated smile on his face as he mocked him unceremoniously.

“You’re only in third place. Look at how happy you were when you were temporarily in the first place. You might have forgotten what you looked like just now.” Zhao Peng was full of rage because of He Hongyun’s mockery. How could he not give it back to He Hongyun now that the opportunity had come?

“Do you now know why our captain took leave and didn’t attend your father’s training? It’s because our captain’s standards are higher than your father’s, understand? You think only your father is good, but there are actually many people better than your father,” Zhao Peng said with a sneer.

“Zhao Peng… don’t go overboard.” He Hongyun was very upset after hearing what Zhao Peng said. He flew into a rage out of humiliation. He was seething with anger as he pointed at Zhao Peng.

“Overboard? Who’s the one who’s overboard? Who was the one who thought highly of himself and bragged in front of me and the captain just now?” Zhao Peng stepped forward, totally disregarding He Hongyun’s rage.

“Why? I’ve hit a sore spot haven’t I? You wanna hit me?” Zhao Peng looked at He Hongyun disdainfully. If the skinny He Hongyun dared to walk over, he would simply pin him down. He was confident he wouldn’t be able to get up even if he used all his might.

“Zhao Peng, Li Chengqian, that’s enough. Stop arguing. Don’t make a fool of yourselves.” Tian Wenming stepped forward and separated the two of them.

“He Hongyun, apologize to Li Chengqian. You were the one who started this.” Tian Wenming looked at He Hongyun.

“Teacher Tian, I won’t apologize!” He Hongyun’s expression was cold. “Li Chengqian, I really didn’t do as well as you in this theory test.”

“But don’t be smug. The theory test is only 40% of the total score. The hands-on programming test is the key to victory. I will definitely beat you in the hands on programming segment.”

“Alright, I’ll wait for you to defeat me.” Li Chengqian’s expression was calm. He wasn’t at all bothered by He Hongyun’s provocation.

In any case, he would be the winner!

The others may not know about Li Chengqian’s actual programming abilities, but Zhao Peng was very clear. He had been Li Chengqian’s input tool for a few days and saw first hand how terrifyingly good Awesome Li was.

He was a programming genius that exceeded laymen’s comprehension.

When he heard He Hongyun’s confident statement, Zhao Peng almost burst out laughing.

“This fool actually wants to compete with Awesome Li in hands-on programming? Isn’t he looking for abuse? Even if his father, He Jingguo, were to compete with Li Chengqian, he would be tortured to tears.” Zhao Peng held these words in his heart and didn’t say them out loud. Since He Hongyun provoked Li Chengqian, he would wait to see He Hongyun make a fool of himself.

“He Hongyun, if you did something wrong, you have to admit it and take responsibility. Apologize to Li Chengqian now.” Tian Wenming was starting to get angry. His tone was very heavy as he looked straight at He Hongyun with a firm gaze.

“Teacher Tian, I definitely won’t apologize to Li Chengqian. There’s no room for negotiation.” He Hongyun’s words were firm. Then, he quickly walked to the roadside. “Teacher Tian, I’ll make my own way here in the afternoon.”

“My father will come and pick me up. You don’t have to worry about me.” When He Hongyun mentioned He Jingguo, he regained his confidence again.

Soon, Jingguo Software and the provincial office would sign a contract, and Jingguo Data Company would have 20 million yuan in their account! His family would buy a villa in Tianbao City, and He Jingguo had promised to buy him a sports car. His mood suddenly lifted when he thought of this.

“20 million. Even if Li Chengqian and the others work their entire lives, they won’t be able to earn that much money.”

“Forget about 100 marks. Even if he scored 1,000 marks, what’s the use? So what if he gets into Divine Dragon University? It can’t be exchanged for money.”

“He will never be as rich as me. I drive a BMW, he can only take the bus, I eat at a five-star hotel, he can only eat at a roadside stall.” He Hongyun’s smile became wider and wider.

“Eh, Dad said that he would pick me up at 12:30, why isn’t he here yet? Could he have been held up by something?” He Hongyun took out his phone and looked at the time. Looking at the traffic on the road, he frowned.

Then, he dialed He Jingguo’s number.
