Chapter 181: Competition
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After the summit ended, there was a banquet to give everyone time to communicate freely.
Mo Yu and Gu Lian completed a few rounds of socializing and finally had time to taste delicious food.
At this moment, ‘Gu Lian’ was holding an apple roll in his hand and eating pure black chocolate. He was admiring the two-meter-tall chocolate Christmas tree in front of him.
The Christmas tree was made of pure chocolate. Every colorful chocolate ball had a different flavor and fused with various fruit juices. Just standing in front of the tree, Mo Yu could smell the fragrance of chocolate.
Gu Lian’s voice suddenly sounded in her mind. “You’re about to drool. Pay attention to your image.”
In the eyes of others, ‘Gu Lian’ was admiring the work of an Italian master. He was admiring a piece of art made of chocolate.
However, when Gu Lian saw Mo Yu looking at the chocolate tree greedily with his face, he knew what she was thinking.
Mo Yu swallowed her saliva. “Hubby, do you think that yellow chocolate ball tastes like orange or mango? Are there big almonds and walnuts in the branches of the chocolate? It’s such a hot day. Will the taste be affected if the chocolate melts?”
Gu Lian was a little speechless. “There’s dry ice below. The event location will also control the temperature. The chocolate won’t melt.”
Mo Yu felt a little regretful. “How wasteful is this? Didn’t the invitation letter say how this tree will be distributed? It can’t be kept like this, right?”
Just as Gu Lian was about to retort, he heard the presenter’s voice.
“Everyone, in order to increase the fun of this banquet, we’re about to hold a competition event. Everyone is an Internet elite. I believe there are many hackers. Today, we’ll compete to see whose skills are stronger.”
A few attendants also set up two eSports tables on the stage.
“This competition is mainly a competition of computer technology. One side will set up a firewall, and the other side will attack. The competition is an elimination system, and a champion will be decided in the end. The winner will obtain the world’s unique handmade chocolate Christmas tree in front of us!”
When Mo Yu heard that the Christmas tree was a prize, her eyes lit up. She stared fixedly at the Christmas tree.
Seeing her gaze, Gu Lian cursed in his heart!
Gu Lian reminded, “Mo Yu, you’re using my body now!”
“Hubby, of course 1 know.” Mo Yu loosened her tie, but her eyes were still fixed on the Christmas tree.
Gu Lian: “Mo Yu, I advise you not to be rash.”
Mo Yu said, “Hubby, you have to have confidence in me. I’m definitely an expert in this aspect. I won’t embarrass you.”
Gu Lian wanted to say that this was not the main point at all.
Before he could speak, he saw ‘Gu Lian’ raise his right hand. “I’ll sign up.”
The host did not expect that President Gu would be the first to sign up. There was excitement in his voice. “President Gu, you’re the first to sign up. Is there anyone else who wants to sign up? There’s a limited number of spots for the event. Everyone, become active. You can’t miss this opportunity!”
Seeing Gu Lian sign up, the few CEOs and technicians who originally were pretending to be thinking also signed up.
They were both in the Internet and games industry. They could not compare to Mrs. Gu in their speech, but it would be too embarrassing to lose to President Gu in programming.
In less than three minutes, twenty people had already signed up. The host quickly divided them into groups.
Mo Yu also had her own selfish motives. Other than the chocolate Christmas tree in front of her, she also wanted to strengthen Llife’s technical team.
If the technology relied on her and Zhao Wen, it would be almost impossible for the website to maintain its current smoothness when the number of users soared.
What’s more, the front-end and back-end development and maintenance of the app needed talents now. Doing things alone was not a long-term solution. Recruiting troops was more important.
Since she was participating in the summit, she naturally had to see if there were any suitable candidates.
Seeing Gu Lian sign up, Zhao Wen quickly signed up.
He couldn’t beat his boss with his skills, but it shouldn’t be a problem to beat his boss’s husband, right?
Seeing Mo Yu rubbing her fists in front of the computer, Gu Lian’s eyes were about to spew fire.
At this moment, Mo Yu suddenly felt a little guilty. Didn’t she plan not to say another word at the summit? Why did she sign up for the competition rashly?
Especially when she saw Gu Lian, who was standing below the stage, looking like he wanted to eat her up, she became even more flustered.
Could it be that she would lose the competition and cause Gu Lian’s perfect persona to collapse?
In the end, she would be hated by the big boss and walk the cannon fodder plot again?
