Chapter 765: A ‘Big Gift’
At that moment, the image on the big screen suddenly changed. In the audience, Wilson looked at something in confusion. Then, his eyebrows relaxed a little. When his gaze landed on something, he looked even more relaxed. It was really strange.
When the camera panned away, he looked down for a moment, suddenly less angry. He looked up again with a faint smile on his face.
The other teacher could not figure out what Mr. Wilson was thinking. Why was his mood so gloomy one moment and sunny the next?
…
It was time for the award ceremony. The person in charge of both parties stood on the stage. On the Imperial Capital University’s side was Chancellor Liao, and on the Ivy League’s side was Mr. Wilson.
Chancellor Liao smiled graciously. “As the old saying goes, friendship comes first and competition comes second. Don’t you agree, Mr. Wilson?”
It wasn’t entirely unreasonable, but it was often said by the winner. After the victory, the competition would become insignificant. After all, the cheers of honor had already been won.
Wilson wasn’t as angry as he’d imagined. Instead, he responded absently with his gaze fixed on the audience.
Chancellor Liao felt that something was amiss and could not understand what he was up to. He followed his gaze and did not find anything amiss.
Finally, the contestants from both sides stood up. Jin Lu stood beside Sheng Yang. Actually, he didn’t know what to say. He just wanted to be closer to her.
And Yates’ almost imperceptible gaze flicked over.
Chancellor Liao took the microphone and was about to say something when Wilson suddenly held out his hand and gestured for him to give it to him.
His intuition told him that something was up. Chancellor Liao frowned, but he did not know what was going on. China was a country of etiquette. It was impossible for such a small request to not be fulfilled.
Forget it. He would deal with whatever came his way. fr(e)ewebn(o)vel
Thus, Chancellor Liao handed over the microphone. Wilson took it and cleared his throat before saying solemnly, “Everyone, today’s competition was exceptionally intense and exciting.”
The people below the stage were speechless.
Was it intense? Not really. This was an entirely one-man show.
Mr. Wilson said this against his will. He probably didn’t even believe it himself.
Unfortunately, Wilson ignored anyone. He was still speaking in his own language. “And we have an honored guest here.”
Chancellor Liao raised his eyebrows. It seemed that this was the problematic point.
Wilson suddenly pointed to a corner of the audience. “We have the editor of my country’s BIO Journal, Mr. Austin, in the audience!”
Austin, who was wearing a baseball cap and trying his best to keep a low profile, just wanted to watch the competition quietly. He was suddenly shocked when he was called out.
He knew that ‘Cheng Min’ did not like to be high-profile, so he secretly came to watch her compete just to see her.
As it turned out, he was right to come. It was really worth watching!
She was extremely outstanding. Among these students, no, even among many teachers, she was incomparable.
He’d wanted to come and go quietly, but Wilson was forcing him to step out. He silently cursed Wilson a thousand times, but Wilson still recognized him in the end. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk to the front with a fake smile on his face.
Chancellor Liao was stunned. It was really Mr. Austin himself. He had really come all the way here.
This man was rarely seen!
Wilson smiled slowly. He had emphasized the words ‘my country’ earlier…
