Chapter 41 - Saving a Life
“The results are about to be out. How can you not be here? ”
When he heard Le Wan’s confident tone, Zhai Jing’s throat felt dry. He licked his lips and pretended to be nonchalant.
“It’s just an award. It’s not like I haven’t won it before. It doesn’t matter if I go or not.”
“Yes, yes, yes. I know you’re a prodigy and have won countless awards. So, one more Championship is like adding flowers to a brocade. You won’t be very excited. But it’s different this time,” Le Wan said. President Ren of Dahong Corporation just said that he thinks highly of you, so he must present the award to you personally. If you don’t want to offend Dahong Corporation and have a reputation of being arrogant, you’d better return to the venue within three minutes.
Zhai Jing’s voice tightened as he held his phone tightly. He had caught a piece of information from Le Wan’s words.
“You said that President Ren is going to give me an award? ”
“What do you think? Do you feel honored?” That’s the famous and invincible Ren Rong in the business world. After he saw your test paper, he praised you in front of everyone, saying that you’re an extraordinary person. He even said that he would present the award to you personally,” said Le Wan with a proud expression.
Zhai Jing didn’t say anything for a while. Fu Sui, who was leaning against the railing behind him, was still talking on the phone with a smile. If what Le Wan said was true, did it mean that Fu Sui’s arrangement had failed? So, the championship of this competition was still his?
Zhai Jing’s silence finally caught Le Wan’s attention.
“Where are you? Why do I hear someone talking next to you? that voice sounds familiar.”
Le Wan listened carefully and found that it seemed to be Fu Sui’s voice. She suddenly thought of the original plot and said, “Do you remember what I just told you? you must come. Not only for the trophy and bonus, but the Dahong Group also has a Support Fund. Once you get President Ren’s approval, the Dahong Group will include you in the support plan and provide you with education. If you need it, you can even apply for an entrepreneurial fund after graduation. A great future is right in front of you, you can’t embarrass yourself at this critical moment.”
“So don’t do anything irreparable for Fu Sui, this scum!” Le Wan bit her lip, hoping that Zhai Jing would understand the hint in her words.
Zhai Jing’s actions were very subtle, so she did not know that she had guessed what he had done based on his intuition. However, he still took Le Wan’s words to heart. He knew that it was impossible for ordinary people to get close to someone like President Ren, let alone know so much about the Dahong Group.
Now, Le Wan, who regarded learning as the most important thing, could actually take a day’s leave to come to the competition venue and find out so many things, all for his sake.
Apart from his mother, this was the first person who was so considerate of him. Zhai Jing’s heart felt as if it had been soaked in warm water. It was so soft that it was a mess. When he spoke, his voice trembled a little.
Before he could say “I know, ” Zhai Jing raised his head and saw that the railing, which had lost its screw, could no longer bear the weight of an adult man and collapsed with a click. Fu Sui, who had no idea what was going on, was thrown into the air and fell down before he could react.
“Be careful!” Zhai Jing rushed forward and caught Fu Sui’s hand. He grabbed it tightly. However, the weight of an adult man was beyond his imagination. Zhai Jing was almost dragged down by the weight.
At this critical moment, Zhai Jing’s shoulder hit the bottom of the railing hard, blocking him and stopping him from falling. The intense pain came. Zhai Jing gritted his teeth and shouted at Fu Sui, who was struggling, “If you move again, I’ll let go!
Fu Sui immediately quieted down and didn’t dare to move. The hall was about ten meters high, so the stairs were longer. He looked at his feet that were hanging in the air. If he fell, he would definitely roll down the stairs.
It would be fine if he just broke his leg, but if he fell on his head or face, there would be serious side effects, and his life would really be half ruined. If it was more serious, he might even lose his life if he fell on his spine or cervical spine.
Thinking of these terrifying possibilities, Fu Sui’s face no longer had the pride from before. He said in a trembling voice, “You can’t let go.”
