Chapter 207: "There will be no need for that. I respect the organizer's decision." (1)
When the young man pointed out the fairness bluntly, many of the judges wiped their sweat away secretly.
All of the sudden, the atmosphere in the office became very solemn, confrontational, almost.
Thats not possible, our competition
Before the lead person could finish what he was saying, Sheng Xiuyan cut him off again.
I will find evidence pointing to whether this competition is fair or not. By the same token, I hope that you will also be able to provide proof why you say that our topic is irrational. Sheng Xiuyans tone was still nonchalant. Nevertheless, the more nonchalant his tone was, the more confident he came across.
Dong Mingming was stunned already. De, Deity Xiu was, after all, Deity Xiu. That was so cool!
Ooooooh, she was about to turn into a fan of his!
Gu Xi, on the other hand, was sweating secretly.
She subtly tugged at Sheng Xiuyans arm and gestured for him to stop talking for the time being.
He had made his point clear already. Escalating the matters further would just make matters worse and put then in an even more vulnerable spot.
Seeing that Sheng Xiuyan had stopped talking, Gu Xi turned back toward the judges and said clearly, As fellow teachers suggested that our topic had issues with regards to its rationality and feasibility and that we did not agree with that assessment. As such, can you give us a chance to proof ourselves?
Gu Xis request was very reasonable.
Sheng Xiuyan agreed with her. Looking over at Gu Xi, he said definitely, The design of our topic is sound.
Dont worry about what they say. He maintained his own judgement. The problem lied with the fairness of the competition.
Sensing that Sheng Xiuyan was encouraging her, Gu Xi nodded and smiled at him. I think so too.
Then came another question.
Whys the organizer targeting us? asked Dong Mingming, looking disturbed. She didnt feel that they had offended anymore. Besides, it wasnt right to say it, but with Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyans family background, there werent a lot of people out there that they couldnt offend.
Gu Xi shook her head. She had no idea either.
***
What they didnt know was that those among the organizer didnt see eye to eye either.
As soon as Gu Xi and her team had just stepped out of the office, a heated argument erupted inside.
The two who were actively involved in the argument was Teacher Yu from the preliminary team and the vice team lead who was currently heading the group.
Ruling their topic not meeting our requirements is unreasonable in and of itself! Teacher Yu questioned stiffly.
She had been following this team since the very beginning and had high hopes for them. Naturally, she was very unhappy with the organizers evaluation of the project.
