The emcee handed the microphone to her with a smile. Lu Xingchen held the microphone and saw Wentao, who was facing her sideways, making eye contact with her, probably asking her to say something like thanking the boss or the company.

Lu Xingchen responded to Wen Tao's kind hint and said in a normal tone, "I am honored to be a newcomer, and I am very grateful to the company and the leadership. But I believe that even if the company issued new regulations last year or next year, there would be other newcomers who caught up with the opportunity and achieved results. I just happened to be the newcomer who caught up with the opportunity this year."

This was a very pertinent statement, and the others applauded her as they heard it.

Li Zhen felt inexplicably unhappy. Was she denying the opportunity he gave her? Of course, he didn't change the rules just to give her a chance. He was just afraid that she would be self-righteous... But no matter what he thought, how could Lu Xingchen clear him of all wrongdoing?

It was he who signed her up for this competition!

This series of thoughts made Li Zhen feel even more uncomfortable.

Wen Tao's microphone had been handed over to him. Even though Li Zhen hated the ungrateful woman beside him, he could clearly hear Wen Tao asking him to say a few words. Li Zhen picked up the microphone, his face was normal, and his voice was also normal and unhurried.

“Whether new or old, Zhencheng hopes that everyone can expand themselves and live up to their youth. In addition, I would like to say to colleagues who have not yet won awards or have not yet tapped their potential that the road ahead is long and difficult, but if you keep moving forward, you will reach your destination. If you keep moving forward, you will have a promising future.”

There was thunderous applause from the audience again.

Wen Tao was very comfortable interviewing others, and he was able to get these two people to talk for such a long time. He sent them away respectfully, as if he had been granted amnesty.

Lu Xingchen returned to his seat.

Zhao Wenjing excitedly held up her championship trophy and boasted about it. She then compared it to Xu Nanhe and said earnestly, "Xiao Xu, you still have a lot of room for improvement."

Xu Nanhe readily accepted this statement, "I have tried my best, I don't know how much strength our champion has used."

As they spoke, they looked at Lu Xingchen at the same time. Lu Xingchen only looked at Chen Xiaolin, who was flattered by Wentao and welcomed to the stage, and did not hear what they said. Lu Xingchen rarely paid attention to one person for a long time. Zhao Wenjing couldn't help but put her shoulder against her and asked: "Xingchen, do you know Chen Xiaolin?"

Lu Xingchen looked into her clear eyes for a moment and replied, "I know her."

Zhao Wenjing immediately sighed, "It turns out that excellent people are with excellent people."

At the same time, some people were whispering:

"Chen Xiaolin is recognized as a double beauty in the AI ​​department. She is both talented and beautiful. She is a well-known female academic master in the Computer Science Department of Guangdong University. She only took one year to get her master's degree from Stanford. She gave up Wall Street High-tech and came to Zhencheng. She was promoted to T4-2 in less than two years. Now she is firmly in the position of the head of the AI ​​department, with an annual salary of about to W. The key is that she is only years old!"

"Three or five million is nothing to her. It is said that her family is very rich and the car she drives to work is worth millions. Her work is just for fun, and getting a place in the million-dollar competition is just a joke."

Some people who didn’t know this information, especially colleagues from the branch office, were amazed and also discussed the topic as if they were just trying to watch the fun.

"Now the AI ​​Goddess champion has been snatched by the unknown Lu Xingchen, and it's for her best AI work. It's a bit exciting to think about it. And I think the so-called goddess who is receiving the award on the stage is very beautiful, but she seems to be a lot worse than Lu Xingchen."

"Then if Chen Xiaolin is worth over 100 million, and Lu Xingchen is just a programmer like us, who would you choose as your girlfriend?"

The men laughed at the joke.

One of the female colleagues immediately laughed and attacked: "Why don't you ask which girl would like you?"

Then a male colleague responded with a plausible argument: "Did you ask the boss for permission when you were infatuated with him?"

Women: “…”

A male colleague with higher emotional intelligence sighed and said, "You guys can fight for it, I won't choose any of them... After all, my wife and children at home are watching me very closely!"

Everyone was chatting and laughing.

Lu Xingchen didn't listen carefully, just looked at the stage quietly.

Because Chen Xiaolin on the stage was looking at her with a smile on her face as she said her acceptance speech: "Finally, thank you all for your love and praise, but I really don't deserve the title of goddess because I didn't win the championship for these titles."

A male employee below shouted: "Then you are also the goddess of our AI department!"

Wen Tao also said: "Victory and defeat are common in the military, not to mention that the first and second place are just a difference in words for you outstanding people."

Chen Xiaolin smiled politely and said, "Thank you. Actually, what I want to say is that I have no regrets about the second place, because the champion is the opponent I respect the most. Although I lost, it is still an honor. I will continue to work hard!"

The audience applauded her for her excellence, modesty and generosity.

Zhao Wenjing seemed to have grasped some information and asked Lu Xingchen: "Does Chen Xiaolin mean that the champion is the opponent she respects, or that you are the opponent she respects the most?"

Without waiting for Lu Xingchen to answer, Xu Nanhe asked, "Isn't that the same thing?"

"Your skills are OK, but your emotional intelligence is really low." Zhao Wenjing looked at him with disdain and said, "As the runner-up, Chen Xiaolin's words of respect for the champion opponent are just polite words, but saying that she respects her opponent Xingchen is more or less a declaration of war. Do you understand, slow-witted man?"

Xu Nanhe found it difficult to understand and could only look at Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen felt helpless, and looked at Zhao Wenjing who understood too much and said, "Watch less palace fighting dramas."

Zhao Wenjing suddenly remembered the fake bag incident and immediately covered her chest and said, "My best friend from college could even sell me a fake bag. Palace fighting and house fighting are really useless. I have to watch suspense dramas instead!"

Lu Xingchen and Xu Nanhe couldn't help laughing at the same time.

Zhao Wenjing added seriously, "We need to look at more treasure appraisals."

Xu Nanhe reminded her: "They are not buying antiques for you."

"..." Zhao Wenjing was frustrated and said unwillingly, "Then can't I buy fake antiques for her to make back the money I lost? I bought five bags from her, and if they are all fake... How long has she deceived me and I have been kept in the dark?"

Xu Nanhe: "You can't even tell the difference between real and fake and yet you still buy such an expensive bag."

Zhao Wenjing was frustrated again, "As a girl, is it not okay for me to have just a few hobbies?"

Xu Nanhe looked at it for a moment, "Allow me to remind you, you also said that you work so hard that you only have a small interest in food. What's wrong with eating?"

Zhao Wenjing: “…”

Xu Nanhe continued to be presumptuous, "When you spend thousands of dollars on a lipstick and thousands of dollars on a haircut, you also told me that your lips and hair are the only parts of your body that haven't gained weight. What's wrong with you preferring them? You even warned other parts of your body not to gain weight if you have any objections."

Zhao Wenjing was so angry that she picked up the trophy that Xu Nanhe had placed on the table and stabbed him, "You stinky man, take my sword!"

Looking at this funny couple, Lu Xingchen couldn't stop laughing.

Yuan Yaqing in the back row said at this moment: "I know you are happy, but you can't ignore the lives of others, right? Didn't you see the large number of casualties in front of you and beside you?"

After these words were spoken, Tan Lina and her two companions in the front row fell silent. Gao Xin at the side also did not dare to speak and pretended to be calm while looking at the stage.

Zhao Wenjing spoke up at this time: "What did Zhuangzi say? Oh, if you run east and west, without knowing how to avoid high and low, you will be hit by a trap and die in a net."

Lu Xingchen thought she was talking about Tan Lina and the others, but she didn't expect Zhao Wenjing to ask her again, "Hey Xingchen, was that what Mr. Li said just now from Xunzi? 'The road is long and difficult, but if you keep walking, you will reach your destination. If you keep walking, you will have a promising future.'"

After saying that, she excitedly grabbed her arm and said, "I suddenly feel that you and Mr. Li are a good match. When you two were standing on the stage just now, I also felt that you had a strong sense of couple."

Lu Xingchen had to give her a suggestion sincerely and said, "Promise me that you will quit watching idol dramas and focus on watching suspense and treasure appraisal, okay?"

"How cruel." Zhao Wenjing covered her chest again and slumped back into her chair. "Should I pay tribute to my five bags or to my misplaced friendship?"
