Chapter 3256: Not Giving Her Any Face!

Editor: Atlas Studios

However, since Li Xin knew the inside story and still made a bet with the other party, and even proposed a bet to make the other party kneel and admit their mistake, it was considerably unethical.

At this thought, the bearded man’s attitude towards him faded. He patted his shoulder and did not say anything else. He followed the old professor to check on his exhibition.

Seeing he was being ignored, Li Xin felt even more resentful. He lowered his eyes and only wanted time to pass faster.

He wanted everyone to see who won!

9:55 a.m.

Nie Qingru’s and Mr. Auburn’s cars arrived outside the exhibition hall.

Because they “coincidentally” bumped into each other, out of courtesy, Mr. Auburn followed her into the exhibition hall.

They walked in side by side and chatted along the way. Those who did not know better thought they were very close and could not help but be attracted to them.

Even some of the judges noticed this and exchanged glances. They couldn’t tell if Mr. Auburn was already on the side of Country M’s delegation like the rumors said.

Daisy was also here today.

She was wearing a pink outfit and followed her grandfather like a lady. She had the bearing of a young lady from a wealthy family.

“Daisy is also interested in these things?”

“Somewhat.”

“Then you have to observe it with Mr. Auburn later.”

Nie Qingru was mainly the one talking along the way. After all, Mr. Auburn’s attitude towards her was not very friendly. He even deliberately kept a distance from her.

As a result, she could only place her gaze on Daisy and try her best to close the distance between them.

However, she was not used to having to lower her head. Even when she smiled, the corners of her eyes and brows revealed a sense of arrogance and distance.

Daisy probably felt that her grandfather’s relationship with Auntie Nie was not considered close. She was smart enough to speak less today.

Finally, all the judges met.

There were a total of eight judges this time. They were the top-notch experts from various regions in the high-tech field, and they all showed their respect for Mr. Auburn.

They gave Mr. Auburn the right to make decisions.

Which meant that…

If this master thought a weapon was not good, he could veto the results.

However, this power was only out of respect. Under normal circumstances, no one would use this power.

The white-haired old man still had the spirit of a dragon and tiger. Even though his azure eyes were covered with a layer of mist, they still did not change.

He did not exchange pleasantries with Nie Qingru. Instead, before setting off for the various exhibition halls, he took the initiative to say to all the judges, “Our weapons exhibition has a long history. It has always been based on fairness and openness. I hope everyone will respect the same guidelines this time and stick to your bottom line and principles. Everything will be based on the final product. Rate it as it is, no more and no less. Otherwise, it will have been meaningless for us old bones to have come here today.”

His words gave the judges an idea of what to expect and how to act. Everyone agreed verbally and glanced in Nie Qingru’s direction.

Nie Qingru maintained a dignified smile, but it did not reach her eyes, and the smile on her lips was rather stiff.

A pair of majestic eyes swept across the white-haired old man without leaving a trace. There was a dark surge in her eyes as if she was holding back her anger.

This Auburn! What an old fool!

She did not believe the other party did not know she wanted him to help ‘take care’ of her younger brother. However, the other party emphasized fairness and justice to all the judges at this juncture…

Heh, he really didn’t give her any face!
