“What do you mean, ‘slow’? I had to settle company matters first!”
“Did you meet them?”
“Hmph, I thought they’d be some formidable figure, but they were nothing more than a spineless shrimp! From this day forward, all of the Ji family’s companies will refuse to cooperate with Zerui Construction Company.”
By the time Ji Wenlin arrived, Shen Hua hadn’t even had a chance to stand up, offer his seat, and conveniently slip away. Ji Wenyan had already made arrangements with someone nearby.
He had directly solved the problem with money, securing an empty seat.
Thus, Shen Hua’s plan to escape was doomed to fail.
Moreover, Ji Wenyan deliberately sat in an adjacent seat, leaving his original spot for his father.
This left Shen Hua with no escape, forcing him to sit obediently in his seat, not daring to make any further moves.
Ji Wenyan’s father possessed incredibly sharp eyes. If he were to discover Shen Hua’s little schemes, Shen Hua believed he wouldn’t be going home tonight, instead being dragged to the Ji family residence for a few days.
“Hehe, Dad is truly amazing! When we get home today, I’ll be sure to praise you a little extra to Mom.”
“Is ‘a little extra’ enough to solve this? When we get home today, you’ll have to praise me for at least half an hour to your mom!”
“Uh… Dad, Shen Hua is sitting right next to you!”
“I know, but I’m talking to you first, and then I’ll focus on chatting with Shen Hua! Right, Xiaohua, why haven’t you come to visit me recently? Are you…”
Seeing his father seize the opportunity to launch into a conversation, Ji Wenyan immediately diverted the attention, making Shen Hua inwardly mutter a string of expletives. He then quickly flashed a brilliant smile at Ji Wenlin, hoping to secure his chance to sleep in his own bed tonight!
He absolutely did not want to stay at Ji Wenyan’s house!
As Ji Wenyan watched his father chat amiably with Shen Hua, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He then focused intently on the competition, unwilling to be drawn into any bothersome nagging.

With the preliminary round drawing to a close, the second round of preliminaries was about to begin.
In the preliminary round, contestants merely needed to stand on stage, showcase their outstanding appearance and temperament, and receive scores from the judges. These scores would determine whether they advanced to the next round.
However, in the second preliminary round, contestants were required to perform a special talent.
If a contestant who barely passed the first round still performed unsatisfactorily in the second, they would face a decision from the three judges.
Each judge would cast their vote: to keep or to eliminate. As long as two judges agreed to keep them, they would successfully advance.
In other words, if only one judge agreed, or if no judges agreed, it meant failure to advance!
By the third round of the competition, all advancing contestants would stand together on stage, awaiting votes from all the students of First High School.
The person who received the highest number of votes would be crowned the winner of this year’s Campus Belle Competition.
Upon hearing the rules from Shen Hua, Ji Wenyan felt a slight pang of worry. He wondered what talent Bai Mengze would choose to perform in the second preliminary round.
Bai Mengze, who was just as much of a ‘study-scum’ as him, was only really skilled in combat.
It couldn’t be…
Considering one particular possibility, Ji Wenyan immediately shook his head, deeming it an overreaction on his part.
He decided to continue watching. He would find out once Bai Mengze appeared.
Besides, with her excellent performance in the first round, Bai Mengze could probably even perform eating publicly and still smoothly advance.
“The competition has now entered the intense second round! Compared to last year’s competition, this year’s is incredibly fierce, with two-thirds of the contestants already eliminated. We wonder how many more will be eliminated in this second round!”
“In such an eagerly anticipated and tense moment, let’s take a small break. This competition is sponsored by Jiasao Bao Herbal Tea. Drink Jiasao Bao when you’re feeling heated, for a happy family…”
Finally, the first round concluded, and the second preliminary round was about to begin.
However, the advertising jingle that spilled from the host’s mouth immediately drew a chorus of boos from the audience. After the host’s face turned crimson from the jeers, they promptly announced the start of the second preliminary round!
