Chapter Seventy-Two: The Miserable SI (2/2)
……
At twelve o’clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yu was happily gnawing on his melon seeds as he watched the live broadcast.
Before it officially began, the reporters made a simple conclusion in regards to the Ragnarok competition. Unavoidably, they discussed fairly on the gossip and scandals as they praised YL for their great performance. That made Xiao Yu feel a little more at ease.
That should be the way, he thought. Putting aside all those disheartening events, Xiao Yu was very pleased with the Ragnarok competition.
Compared to the outstanding results, what made Xiao Yu even happier was no doubt the fact that he had spoiled Lin Zhou’s plans.
Perhaps he should even add a ‘once again’ to that sentence.
When they were fighting over the deal for the overseas billionaire, Xiao Yu won singlehandedly for YL and eliminated Lin Zhou’s work. Although it did not bring any benefits to SI, it completely ruined Lin Zhou’s ambition to replace the human Xiao Yu.
This time, Lin Zhou even started the scam earlier as he tried desperately to get on Yan Jin’s good side. He wanted to make use of that advantage to job-hop over from SI to YL. However, from the current results, YL still attained an extremely good exhibition placing without Lin Zhou. Even though YL’s exhibition placing was not as good, it was still higher than his individual exhibition placing. That would mean that Lin Zhou worked his butt off for nothing this time around.
This was what they called, to plot so far yet end with nothing.
However……
Xiao Yu looked at Lin Zhou’s drawing and smirked coldly.
Logically, no matter how stunning the mystery designer’s work was, it should not affect the scores of the other designers. Regardless of how amazing Xiao Yu was or how well-informed he was about the future, it could only allow him to make his work more perfect. It was impossible to make Lin Zhou’s work become worse.
Initially, the design that Lin Zhou had could possibly get into the top ten.
It was a pity that Lin Zhou and the mystery designer’s drawing were both couple rings.
Not many individual works were selected in the first place. Among them, couple rings were even rarer. How rare? Two pairs – belonging to Mr. Mystery and Lin Zhou.
In such circumstances, when the judges were giving their evaluation, they would unconsciously compare the two pairs of couple rings. Mr. Mystery’s design made its appearance first and stunned the audience, which raised the judges’ anticipation. That was why Lin Zhou’s was forcefully downgraded.
It was simply a case of bad luck. If Lin Zhou’s work was evaluated before the mystery designer, he may have had a chance to get into the top ten.
What a pity, senior.
Xiao Yu thought maliciously. See, even the gods aren’t willing to help you.
It was ten minutes past twelve when Chu Ge came back in his white lab coat.
“Squeakk.” Xiao Yu waved his hand to express his welcome.
“I’m back. What are you watching?”
Chu Ge walked in front of Xiao Yu and his big brain instantly blocked half of the screen.
“Squeakk.” Go away.
Xiao Yu reached out his little paws to push him.
“Hey, isn’t this the Autumn Release Conference?” Chu Ge was shocked when he realized the content of the video: “Tch tch tch, how in love with Yan Jin can you get?”
That sentence made Xiao Yu daze out for a moment. What has watching the Autumn Release Conference got to do with Yan Jin?
Also, I don’t like Yan Jin at all, okay!? I hate Yan Jin the most!
“Give up, there’s so many people at the conference. There’s no way they can capture Yan Jin. Plus, he will not join the crowd at the exhibition area. If you really miss him, just start a video call with him.” Chu Ge carried on talking as he did not notice how dark Xiao Yu’s face got.
Xiao Yu got frustrated as he exited the broadcast, opened the memo app, and slapped angrily against the keypad: “Scram. Don’t annoy me.”
“Okay, okay. I’ll be in the room. Just squeak for me if you need anything.” Chu Ge relaxed as he quickly scampered away.
But just two steps away, he remembered something and returned.
“Your voice is too small, it might not be possible to hear with all this soundproofing. Why don’t we add each other on QQ? It’ll be easier to play matches in the future.” Chu Ge took out his phone: “We can even talk about Yan Jin’s gossip and it will allow me to understand the life of a person who treats his pet as his girlfriend.”
Xiao Yu grabbed a melon seed by his side and threw it at Chu Ge’s face. It was a pity that his strength was just too small and he did not cause any damage at all.
“Speaking of which,” Chu Ge caught the melon seed and threw it into his mouth. He munched as he asked: “Do you demons have a human form? When are you going to transform to let me see?”
“There isn’t one. Scram. Ask again and I’ll delete your friend request.” Xiao Yu typed.
“Oh don’t be like that~ Once you turn into a human, you can spend all day with Yan Jin. Speaking of which, are you male or female? Do you demons have reproductive systems like humans?”
Seeing how the topic got derailed, Xiao Yu made a prompt decision to close his iPad screen and disappear into his cage.
Xiao Yu huddled in his little house as he watched Chu Ge, who had lost his conversation partner, return to his room. It was then that he sighed in relief.
When he walked out of his cage and returned to his iPad, Xiao Yu’s mood was suddenly sullen.
To change into a human…
He stretched out his little paw as he thought. A few sharp nails poked out from his paw pads.
He had unknowingly become more used to this body. Recently, when he played those mini games on WeChat, he even got into the top three among his friends.
It seemed that being a hamster was not that bad – there’s food, water, games, a career and Yan Jin.
Hold on, the last one is not a critical point.
But… he did want to turn back into a human.
He really, really wanted to.
