"Ladies and gentlemen, the Rising Star of this year's AC Entrepreneurship Competition is..."
White Bear Square is the most prosperous commercial district in Tianxing City, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money. At this moment, in front of the towering building in the center of the square, the hottest program of the year - the finals of the AC Entrepreneurship Competition - is being broadcast live on the giant screen.
This is a brand new Internet elite selection competition. Only programmers with excellent abilities can participate, and only those who design an APP with more than 100,000 active users within three months can pass the preliminary round. To stand out from the semi-finals, the innovation and fun of the APP are the assessment criteria. In short, a good product is one that attracts young people and can be used easily by middle-aged and elderly users. Winning the championship is harder than climbing Mount Everest.
Despite the numerous difficulties, the competition still attracted the world's best Internet elites to participate, because the champion will receive a tens of millions-level A-round investment.
Seeing the huge crowd on the square, you must have guessed that the final of the AC Entrepreneurship Competition was held in the concert hall on the White Bear Square. At this moment, the square was crowded with reporters, photographers, and countless fans holding cheering signs. Even though they were almost squeezed into a meat pie, everyone still took up their phones to take pictures of the giant screen - now is the moment to witness history!
"The champion is definitely An Chengye!"
The female reporter standing in an excellent position confidently expressed the answer in her mind. A chubby photographer in front of her nodded in agreement, but soon their attention was attracted by the sea-like cheers in the square.
"An Chengye! I will use my tiny glimmer of light to protect your great glory! Coconut will always support you!"
"An Chengye! An Chengye! An Chengye!"
An Chengye's fans wore black T-shirts with the letter "F" on them and formed a line in the center of the White Bear Square. Their crazy cheers of support cut through the sky and successfully drowned out the sparse cheers of support from fans of other contestants. The scene seemed to have become an exclusive show for An Chengye's fan club.
Finally, the much-anticipated winners have been announced!
"The winner of the Rising Star of the Year award is - An Chengye!"
When the presenter read out the names on the list of winners, solemn background music immediately sounded, and at the same time, the announcer introduced An Chengye's resume: "An Chengye, who just turned 21, developed the Shiku Technology, which suddenly appeared and exploded the market. Currently, 200 million people around the world are using this software. We believe that with his innovative spirit, his company Shiku Technology Group will also become a global enterprise!" People held their breath, they were all waiting for the young man to walk out from under the spotlight.
Soon, in the camera, a young man in a black tuxedo walked up to the podium. As he appeared, excited screams rang out in the square.
Under the spotlight, the boy's skin was almost flawless, his short black hair slightly covered his brows, and his amber eyes stared straight into the camera. His eyes were full of confidence and composure that was rare for his age, making people involuntarily feel that there was nothing he could not do.
At this moment, he was smiling and waving to the audience and the camera, saying hello. The smile on his face was indescribably beautiful, and every move he made was like that of a noble prince.
The fans at the scene suddenly screamed excitedly, and the scene was indescribably lively.
The only one who stood out from the crowd was an inconspicuous girl standing outside the crowd. The huge cheers made her cover her ears. Her round eyes stared at the surging crowd in front of her without blinking, with disbelief written all over her face.
If she had known it would be such a crazy scene, she would never have agreed to Song Feifei's request so easily!
Thinking of this, the girl took out her old Nokia mobile phone to take a photo of the scene, clicked on an app with a blue letter F on the screen, and pressed the send button.
"Song Feifei, where should I find An Chengye?" The text message was sent through the Shiku Technology software, and she received a reply not long after.
"Try to squeeze to the front door. I know you can do it! Remember to take a photo of An Chengye alone, and remember to ask the questions on the interview outline! Xiao Shu, I love you!"
"Okay...I'll figure it out."
"mwah!"
Seeing the apologetic smiley face sent by Song Feifei on her phone, Mai Xiaoshu put away her phone, took a deep breath, and decided to try squeezing into the crowd as her best friend had suggested.
"Sorry, I have something important to discuss with An Chengye, please make way!"
"Why are you pushing us? Everyone here is here to see An Chengye! Really!"
After taking only two steps, Mai Xiaoshu was pushed out by a hand that came out from somewhere in the crowd.
"Ah!" Mai Xiaoshu, who fell to the ground, stood up with a frown, and rubbed his sore butt in pain.
"Chirp (small bundle)——" At this time, a small voice came from above my head.
Mai Xiaoshu brushed the dust off his butt and looked up at the yellow bird flapping its wings above his head: "Andy, why are you following me?"
The bird fluttered its wings and cried anxiously, "I'm so worried about you! You ran away as soon as you got off work, and Wen Na is telling the team leader that you ran away before you finished cleaning the gorilla room."
"hateful!"
Wen Na is her senior at the cute zoo where she works. She is a short and fat girl with a strange personality and it is not easy for her to get close to others. Because she was introduced by the team leader, the employees dare not mess with her.
What Mai Xiaoshu couldn't understand was that Wen Na had disliked her from the beginning. Even if she made a small mistake, Wen Na would immediately report it to the team leader in an exaggerated manner, causing her to be punished several times before . Mai Xiaoshu was scared when she thought of Wen Na's smug look, and she was even more annoyed when she saw the crowd in front of her.
"Isn't it not too late to go back and apologize to the team leader now?" Andy suggested.
"But we have to help Feifei complete the task first. She is not feeling well, and the task of interviewing An Chengye is related to whether she can continue to stay in the magazine."
After hearing the answer, Andy flew to Mai Xiaoshu's shoulder.
Mai Xiaoshu turned her head and saw Andy pecking at the pink backpack on her back: "Squirrel, don't hide and sleep. We need your help now!"
“Huh?” Mai Xiaoshu patted his schoolbag in confusion.
A brown furry squirrel head soon popped out from the left side of the schoolbag. It yawned, looked at Andy lazily, and then looked at Mai Xiaoshu lazily.
"Good morning, everyone," it squeaked.
Mai Xiaoshu exclaimed: "Squirrel! How did you get into my backpack?"
"This guy has been sleeping here a lot lately, saying it's warm in the winter and cool in the summer!"
"You damn oriole, disturbing my sweet dreams!" The squirrel rolled his eyes at Andy.
"Watch your mouth, you damn squirrel!"
"Who asked you to disturb me?"
"You just sleep in. Now you need to help Xiao Shu!"...
The two animals started quarreling for no apparent reason, and Xiao Shu couldn't help but feel a headache: "If we quarrel any more, we won't have time. If Fei Fei loses his job, I will be kicked out, and you won't have a good life!" "Oh? Don't worry, watch me!" The squirrel jumped out of the backpack and jumped onto Mai Xiao Shu's head. He used the force to step on the girl and quickly leaped onto the head of a girl in a dark blue school uniform in the crowd.
The girl who was taking pictures with her mobile phone never expected that a terrible "rat" would jump on her head the moment she pressed the shutter. She couldn't help but let out a horrifying scream, leaving a "human voice bomb" in White Bear Square!
The crowd instantly formed a circle with the girl as the center.
"Ah—rat! There's a rat!"
"How can a mouse have such a long tail!"
"What? It's a squirrel. How come there is a squirrel here?"
"Haha, the squirrel is really good!" Andy shouted happily. Mai Xiaoshu didn't expect the squirrel to use this trick. He was so surprised that he forgot what he should do.
"Let's go! Find An Chengye!"
"Oh oh!" At Andy's urging, Mai Xiaoshu came to his senses and rushed towards the empty venue.
Everyone was looking for the "mouse", and just as an aisle was vacant, Mai Xiaoshu quickly squeezed into an ideal interview position.
At this time, the concert hall door opened and the audience walked out one after another. However, as time passed, An Chengye still did not appear.
"Why hasn't he come out yet?" a fan asked anxiously.
"He won't leave, will he? Xiao Chen, quickly call someone inside and ask them where An Chengye is?" Some reporters couldn't help themselves.
Mai Xiaoshu couldn't help but get nervous. This matter concerned Feifei's future and he absolutely couldn't miss the interview opportunity!
"Xiao Shu, he's at the back door!" Andy, who had just flown away, flew back to Xiao Shu's head in a blink of an eye.
"Really?"
"He's waiting for the car at the back door. Even though he's disguised, I'm the invincible Andy!"
"Haha, Andy is awesome!" Hearing Andy's words, the light of hope rekindled in Mai Xiaoshu's eyes.
"That girl is so weird," a girl not far away said to her companion, "Is she talking to the air or to the birds?"
Her companion looked at Mai Xiaoshu and said disdainfully, "She's probably mentally ill."
The speaker had no intention, but their sarcasm reached the ears of the person concerned word for word. Xiao Shu, who was about to head for the back door, stopped, clenched her fists and looked back at the people who were talking about her.
The two girls were holding An Chengye's cheering signs in their hands. They looked to be about the same age as her and were wearing the latest trendy brand clothing, which was in stark contrast to her simple outfit.
Noticing Mai Xiaoshu 's gaze, the two girls knew that their words had been heard by the person involved. Fearing that they would be harassed by this "lunatic", they immediately lowered their heads and pretended to look at their phones.
"Should I go forward and explain?" Mai Xiaoshu murmured.
forget it……
She should have gotten used to it. How could anyone believe that she could talk to animals? Even if her best friend Song Feifei knew about it, she would treat her like a psychopath, just like her friends when she was a kid! "Hurry up!" Andy kept urging Mai Xiaoshu, not noticing her strangeness.
"Yeah!" Mai Xiaoshu put away his gloomy expression and hurried to the back door. "The interview task is more important."
