Chapter 128: Chapter 127 Can You Memorize It?
Seeing Liu Yawei’s expression, the three of them, Su Niannian included, were somewhat panicked. The source of thɪs content is noveⅼfire.net
Only Chi Gui remained calm, “What’s the matter?”
Liu Yawei asked with a grave voice, “The topic you chose for this theoretical defense, is it ‘The Latest Treatment Methods for Patients with Cranial Injuries’?”
“Yes,” Chi Gui nodded.
Liu Yawei’s brows suddenly furrowed deeply, his voice becoming even graver, “I just received news that Beishan College’s contestants are using the same topic, and they’ve chosen the same perspective as you! What’s more, their presentation is just before yours!”
Having almost identical topics for the two competing teams, the latter could be directly deemed as plagiarism by the judges!
“This can’t be!” Su Niannian immediately cried out in alarm, “How could they know about our theoretical defense?”
If it were just the same topic, it might be explained as a coincidence, but having the same concepts and core is definitely not a coincidence!
Standing beside her, Chu Jia suddenly turned pale.
She quickly pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
The call was promptly answered, and Chu Jia loudly interrogated, “Ding Xuan, did you tell others about our topic?”
Hearing this name, everyone’s gaze shifted to Chu Jia.
Chu Jia was already beyond caring about others; her phone’s volume was at its highest, and Ding Xuan’s mocking voice came through, “Yes, Chu Jia, if it weren’t for you exchanging with me back then, I should be the one getting the second prize! You stole my spot, so don’t you hope for peace either!”
Hearing her say this, all present showed bewildered expressions.
Chi Gui arched his eyebrows but said nothing.
Chu Jia’s hands trembled as she held her phone, “Back then, you were the one who absolutely refused to be in Sister Chi’s group, even crying… How can you say such things?!”
“I don’t care! I didn’t make it, so neither will you win the contest!” Ding Xuan shamelessly finished his sentence and hung up the phone.
Chu Jia’s face had gone completely pale; tears were in her eyes as she apologetically looked at those around her, “I’m sorry… it was my oversight… That night when she said she wanted to thank me for helping her out and invited me for dinner, I just…”
Liu Yawei sighed, “Let’s not talk about this now; think about what we should do next.”
Su Niannian anxiously paced in place, “We can only change our topic now… but among the topics we prepared, this one was the best…”
And with the contestant before them having used the best one, their subsequent topic would hardly make an impression on the judges.
At this, Liu Yawei also became troubled.
Just then, Chi Yan and three others approached. Seeing those at the door, Kong Wen asked concernedly, “Mr. Liu, Chi Gui, what’s wrong?”
Liu Yawei explained the situation.
Kong Wen and Su Qing also frowned slightly.
Chi Yan pressed her lips together and said nothing.
Jiang Nuan laughed, “What’s there to worry about? Su Niannian, you guys were just running for participation anyway. Don’t worry, we’ll secure the first prize for the school.”
“Nobody would think you’re mute if you just kept quiet!” Su Niannian, upset, snapped back.
Jiang Nuan smirked coldly and walked into the venue.
Chi Yan and the others also greeted Liu Yawei and entered.
Everyone was competing; no one would waste time on a rival competitor.
At the door, the three including Su Niannian were nearly crying, having toiled so long and come so far only to face potential failure because of this, none could accept it.
Chi Gui leaned against the wall, arms crossed, slender fingers tapping on his arm; after a while, he spoke faintly, “If we write a new topic now, can you memorize it?”
