At the entrance of the Big Data Center, under Tian Wenming's lead, the team stood under the huge screen outside the Data Center.

There was a line of red text on the screen: Arena of the Fifteenth Junior Informatics Programming Competition.

On the road in front of Tian Wenming and the others, a brand new BMW X7 was parked by the roadside. He Jingguo and He Hongyun got out of the car arrogantly.

"Tian Wenming, I'm sorry. I'm late as I wasn't familiar with this car that I had just bought." He Jingguo patted the car. There was nothing but smugness on his face.

"He Jingguo, it's only 7:50 now, you're not late. The timing is just right." Tian Wenming's eyes were filled with curiosity and envy as he sized up He Jingguo's new car.

"When did you buy this car? How much is it? It looks very high-end!" Tian Wenming asked enviously.

"This car is imported. It only costs 1.8 million yuan, it's not that expensive, " He Jingguo said proudly.

"Wow... It's so expensive!" Tian Wenming gasped. He usually didn't care much about cars, so he only knew that BMWs were very expensive, but he didn't know that they were so ridiculously expensive.

He had wanted to test drive the car, but after hearing the price, he killed the thought instantaneously.

Bi Jialiang's eyes were filled with envy when he heard the price of the car.

When Jian Qingli heard that the car was so expensive, she saw He Hongyun in a different light.

Zhao Peng pursed his lips indifferently. He Jingguo's boastful introduction made his impression of He Jingguo worse. "What's the big deal? It's just a lousy car."

"As if he's the only one to own one."

"You are just a bunch of sour grapes." He Hongyun sneered and said disdainfully when he heard Zhao Peng's muttering.

Ding Ling had been staying close to Li Chengqian's side the entire time. All her attention was on Li Chengqian. She didn't pay attention to what He Jingguo said about the price at all.

At this moment, Li Chengqian was holding a book titled 'Analog and Digital Circuits Explained'. He was reading it very quickly. Although this book was also very difficult, it was nothing compared to 'Introduction to Integrated Circuits'. Li Chengqian found it a breeze to read.

He had heard He Jingguo bragging, but couldn't be bothered at all.

"Son, give your best in the competition. As long as you can get into the top three in the preliminary round, I'll reward you with a two-million yuan sports car," He Jingguo said generously. At noon today, the provincial office would place their order for his data restoration software. Twenty million yuan would be transferred to his account in a week. A sports car worth two million yuan was naturally not a problem.

Bi Jialiang looked at He Hongyun enviously. "He's really impressive, awesome."

"Xiaobi, you have to work hard too," He Hongyun encouraged Bi Jialiang with a smile.

"Tian Wenming, I'll take my leave first. I might have to sign the contract with the provincial office today. I have to prepare in advance and might be very busy today. I'll leave He Hongyun in your good hands today." He Jingguo said with a smug smile on his face. He glanced around before getting into the car and leaving.

Li Chengqian and Zhao Peng were standing together with Tian Wenming. It was as if he didn't see the two of them at all. He didn't even greet them when he left.

He never took Li Chengqian seriously from the get-go.

"He's so full of himself just because of some minor success. Beware, pride comes before fall!" Zhao Peng snorted coldly.
