Tong Ang was stunned for a moment before he smiled tacitly and said, “With you around, I’m naturally at ease. Thank you, sir.”

“You’re too kind. I want to become the leader of the Four Gods and put the other three under my command. I also want to rely on your power. Therefore, we’ll support each other and neither of us will suffer.”

“Yes, sir.” Tong Ang clinked his glass against Long Xian’s. They seemed to be having a pleasant conversation, but they were deep in their own thoughts.

Tong Xieyi finally knew the truth behind why so many people were looking at her strangely today.

She silently endured her tears of humiliation and was extremely depressed all afternoon.

Because of her father, so many people were looking at her strangely. She wondered how long it would take for this to fade before she could show her face again.

When it rained, it poured. She was already upset enough about the mechanical research competition, but this had made things worse!

She glanced at Sheng Yang, who was not far away. When Sheng Yang was isolated, she stood up for her. Why did Sheng Yang not say anything when she was isolated now?

In fact, Sheng Yang didn’t notice this happening at all. She had always been oblivious to the outside world. Moreover, as soon as class ended, her table was surrounded by students.

Everyone’s improvement was becoming more and more obvious. No one was willing to let go of this great opportunity.

After answering some questions, Sheng Yang felt tired, so she immersed herself in her own world. She thought that she could make a robot to answer these conventional questions. That would reduce her burden. As for the more complex questions, she would answer them herself.

She did as she said, so she spent the rest of the afternoon fiddling with her robot.

But she still couldn’t finish it after school hours, so she put the half-finished product in her bag.

As soon as she went out, Sheng Yang saw Lan Yu confronting his brother, Lan Ran. “Why are you here again?” Lan Yu was very unhappy.

Lan Ran looked at Sheng Yang, who was not far away. “Uh, I’m not here for you. I’m here for your teacher to understand… what’s going on with your studies.”

Lan Yu immediately felt a little awkward, but he had nowhere to vent his anger. He immediately said angrily, “Why are you looking for my teacher? Don’t worry, I won’t be like you. I’ll definitely study hard and graduate successfully!”

With that, he ran away. He, who had always respected Sheng Yang, didn’t even greet her this time.

Lan Ran looked at Sheng Yang. The young man was still as pure and beautiful as a ray of moonlight. “Let’s talk.”

Sheng Yang nodded.

They were on a boat in the middle of the lake. It was already early winter. Although the lake had not frozen over yet, the cold wind blew at them like ice blades.

But in the extremely cold weather, the two people standing on the boat were like winter sunshine.

The man put his hands behind his back and turned slowly. “By right, I should be treating you to dinner now that you’re in my territory. But the situation is a little difficult.”

He suddenly threw something out. Sheng Yang caught it steadily. He said in a steady voice, “Consider this compensation.”

Sheng Yang’s eyes lit up when she saw what he had thrown at her. She acted like a cat who had sniffed catnip.

He was indeed generous. He had actually obtained the internal composition of the latest hadron collider.

Sheng Yang quickly put it in her arms, afraid that he would go back on his word. Only at a time like this would Sheng Yang be a little petty. Then, she asked, “I remember you telling me before that you’re one of the Four Gods. Why are you pretending to be so down and out?”
