After being reborn, the aloof female CEO became a paranoid.

After saying that, Zhou Yu turned around and left without looking back, leaving Zhou Ze and Shen Tianling standing there, looking incredulous.

Outside the venue, Mu Tianze was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan: "President Jiang, why did you drag me out here at this time? Yu Ge and I are still preparing for the competition!"

Jiang Qi smiled knowingly, then suddenly pulled Mu Tianze against the wall, so close they could almost hear each other's heartbeats.

"What do you know? I'm trying to help you, you know?"

Mu Tianze's cheeks flushed instantly, and he struggled to say, "President Jiang, you... just talk, don't get so close, lest people see and misunderstand."

"So what if it's a misunderstanding? I'm a woman and I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?!"

Seeing Mu Tianze's flustered appearance, Jiang Qi wanted to tease him even more.

"By the way, Mu Huan isn't as good as you think, those games of hers..."

Jiang Qi swallowed her words halfway through and changed the subject, "I said, if my looks were to compete with hers, I would definitely win by a mile."

Mu Tianze was speechless and pushed her away. "It's okay to say I'm a good person, but it's not okay to say I'm an idol. Even if you're the director, it's still not okay."

After saying that, he took off running, afraid that Jiang Qi would bother him again.

Only after running far away did Mu Tianze belatedly realize that among the new generation, Jiang Qi was a powerful figure who could turn the tide of events.

Now look what's happened. I've offended her, and things are probably going to get tough for me from now on.

Just as he was thinking this, Zhou Yu slapped him on the shoulder, startling him so much that he almost jumped up.

"Where have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere."

"Oh my god, that scared me to death!" Mu Tianze patted his chest and sighed. Zhou Yu looked completely bewildered.

Mu Tianze thought for a moment, but still didn't reveal his affair with Jiang Qi. He thought to himself: It's no use telling her now. I've already confronted her, so I'll just deal with whatever comes my way from now on.

While they were figuring out how to counter each move, Zhou Ze and Shen Tianling were far less composed.

……

In the VIP meeting room, Zhou Ze looked at Shen Tianling expectantly: "Cousin, can you really take me to see Mu Huan?"

"Don't worry, I've got it covered." Shen Tianling curled his lips into a meaningful smile.

Mu Huan is a key figure in this competition; her vote can directly determine the outcome.

Zhou Ze thought to himself that if he could get in touch with Mu Huan, even if it was just to become acquainted with her, it would be a huge plus.

"Teacher Mu Huan."

Shen Tianling, accompanied by Zhou Ze, walked up to Mu Huan with a beaming smile. Mu Huan smiled politely in response.

Shen Tianling naturally recognized Mu Huan, but Zhou Ze couldn't wait for him to introduce her and interrupted, "Hello, Teacher Mu Huan, I'm Zhou Ze, a contestant in this competition."

Mu Huan glanced at him indifferently, her gaze as calm as if she were looking at a pebble on the roadside.

Zhou Ze panicked and quickly nudged Shen Tianling, asking him to put in a good word for him.

Shen Tianling chuckled and continued, "Zhou Ze does indeed have some talent in game design. If he could receive your guidance..."

Before they could finish speaking, a staff member rushed in, interrupting their conversation.

"The competition is about to begin. Judges, please prepare to enter."

Mu Huan nodded, and as she stood up, she glanced at Zhou Ze and said:

"As for ability, we still have to look at the works. We'll see on the field."

After saying that, she left without looking back.

On the other side, Mu Tianze suddenly started to panic when he heard that the match was about to begin. He was now in a dilemma, unsure whether to sit or stand.

The confidence that he had initially patted his chest and vowed to crush his opponent had now turned into cold sweat, dripping down his face.

"Tianze, can you please stop for a minute? You're making me dizzy."

Zhou Yu grabbed him, both amused and exasperated. This guy was usually quite composed, so why did he become a completely different person at crucial moments?

"Brother Yu, I really can't do it! I'm so nervous, what should I do?"

Mu Tianze wore a bitter expression, taking deep breaths faster than panting, but his anxiety was no less.

Zhou Yu sighed, patted him on the shoulder, his eyes full of encouragement.

"Brother, don't be afraid! As long as you demonstrate and explain the game we made well, there won't be any problems. Losing isn't shameful, and winning is a testament to our skill!"

Actually, Zhou Yu was also worried, but he knew that he had to encourage Mu Tianze and not let him lose heart first.

He deliberately pointed to a bright spot on the computer screen and said, "Look here, I think you can focus on this, it will definitely attract the judges' attention."

This trick really worked! As soon as Mu Tianze heard it, he perked up and stared intently at the screen, as if he had found a savior.

"Here? Let me see!"

As he spoke, he plunged headlong into the game world he had designed, instantly casting aside any sense of tension.

After some adjustments, it was finally their turn to take the stage.

Mu Tianze took a deep breath and walked into the conference room one after the other with Zhou Yu.
