Before she even finished her breakfast, Gu Shao paid her one day's salary and asked Xu Fei to send her back.
Lin Xi heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the overbearing woman had left.
After Gu Shao left, Lin Xi went online to check her emails.
In the past few days, Lin Xi had received a total of four email replies from training schools. They were mainly mathematics, chemistry, and English training institutions.
The conditions that they offered were similar. If Lin Xi participated in the competition as a representative of the training institution, the competition prize would go to Lin Xi. The training institution would also give her an additional reward of double the prize money. If it was a competition without a prize money, the training institution would also give her a prize money ranging from 6,000 to 18000 based on her ranking and winning results.
If she won the prize money, she could give 3,000 yuan of living expenses to Gu Shao and save the remaining 3,000 yuan.
Unfortunately, this type of competition was not held every month. Most of the competitions were only held once a year. There were not many competitions that were truly valuable.
Lin Xi also looked at the competition list provided by the training institution. The most recent mathematics competition was next month.
Lin Xi bit her finger and felt a little regretful.
After exiting her email, Lin Xi went to another information website.
This website had the latest competition news. In addition to the normal student competitions, there was also information about the technology innovation competitions that were held outside the school or were open to the public.
Lin Xi's eyes scanned through the competition list one by one. She did not want to miss any of them.
It was hard to ignore an item that was bolded and highlighted in red.
"The first Tianchuang Technology Innovation Competition?" Lin Xi looked at the competition name and the release date. She could not help but click on it.
At the very beginning, there was a brief introduction to the competition that was similar to an advertisement. After that, there was a detailed description of the competition.
This was a competition that mainly focused on scientific and technological research and development. There were a total of four sections: environmental protection, medical and health, artificial intelligence, and futuristic technology. Participants could choose one of the sections to submit a technology innovation project. In the end, a group of winners would be selected from each of the four sections. At least one of the winners would be selected for further development. The other groups would also be given a certain amount of marketing opportunities.
Each group would also receive a prize money …
"One million?!"
Looking at the number in the column of bonus, Lin Xi's eyes widened and her jaw almost dropped. He rubbed his eyes and counted again to make sure that he was not mistaken. It was indeed one million.
As long as he participated in a competition, he would be able to get a million in prize money. Wasn't that too awesome?
Lin Xi couldn't help muttering in her heart.
If she had this money, not only would she be able to use it until she successfully completed her studies, she might even be able to save some of it. In the future, if Gu Shao was really harmed by Lin Yize, the two of them could still live on that money for a period of time.
Lin Xi had already begun to fantasize about the wonderful life she would have after receiving the bonus and the planned distribution of the bonus.
After giggling for a while, Lin Xi shook his head to clear his mind.
If it was a very valuable competition, a prize of one million wasn't an exaggeration. The benefits of a good technical project could sometimes far exceed one million.
Therefore, this amount of money was not rare.
However, this also meant that the difficulty of this competition was completely different from other competitions.
The participants of this "Heaven Creation Competition" were not mainly students. Instead, they were professionals who already had a certain amount of experience or scientific research teams from universities. The biggest difference between this competition and a normal youth competition was that most youth competitions only required innovative ideas or theoretical models. However, this competition required real results and finished products.
This was not something that Lin Xi, a poor junior high school student who had nothing but his brain, could think of.
Lin Xi looked at the prize money and sighed. She exited the competition website and returned to reality. Then, she began to look at other competitions for middle school students.
After looking around, Lin Xi locked onto two competitions: a transportation innovation competition and a general technology innovation competition for middle school students.
After confirming, Lin Xi entered the application page.
She filled in her name and age normally …
However, when it came to the school column, Lin Xi was troubled.
She probably couldn't go back to her previous school, but she didn't have any other schools to fill in.
This was a mandatory field. If she didn't fill it in, she wouldn't be able to submit the application.
Lin Xi sat in front of the computer and struggled for a long time. She filled in the name of another school, but after hesitating for a while, she deleted it.
In the end, Lin Xi had no choice but to close the registration page.
When she logged out of the webpage, Lin Xi couldn't help but glance at the message bar in the lower right corner of the webpage. At this time, almost all the messages that popped up were about the "Heaven Creation Competition".
Due to the high prize money, the news of the "Heaven Creation Competition" not only shocked Lin Xi, but it also set off a lot of waves in this circle.
Some people began to discuss this competition on the website forum. Some people even set up a forum page dedicated to the "Heaven Creation Competition".
Lin Xi couldn't help but click on it.
At this time, there were already dozens of posts on it. There were all kinds of posts.
[Come in and talk. I want to see how many people are participating in the competition for the prize money like me.]
[Question: If you win the competition, can you really be qualified to develop it?]
[We are a design team. We have a very good project. We hope to find a team with experience and strength in development and manufacturing. If you are interested, come in and chat.]
[My roommates are all overseas. Does anyone want to form a team to participate in the competition?]
[I have rich scientific research experience. I am online looking for teammates. If you are not sincere, please do not disturb me.]
…
Because it involved the finished product of the project, it was impossible to complete it alone. Therefore, there were many posts online looking for teammates to form a team.
Lin Xi clicked on one of them. The OP was chatting enthusiastically with other people.
Seeing that the conversation was about to end, the OP released a group number. [This is a new group. If you are interested, you can join it. It doesn't matter if you don't form a team. Join us and we can chat together. At the same time, you can exchange information about the competition.]
The OP's words were relaxed.
Lin Xi's brain twitched. She entered this string of numbers on her phone and sent out a group application.
Seeing that there was no response after the application was sent out, Lin Xi didn't care.
Very quickly, Lin Xi threw this little interlude to the back of his mind.

In the afternoon, because Gu Shao told her not to cook dinner yesterday, Lin Xi only made a few flatbread and waited for Gu Shao to come back.
However, after waiting for a long time, Gu Shao didn't come back.
Lin Xi was thinking about what she wanted to say to Gu Shao, but she didn't want to go to sleep. She simply waited in the living room. Her eyes stared in the direction of the entrance.
Later on, Lin Xi didn't even know when she fell asleep.
…
There was a product test today. Gu Shao stayed at NTN until very late.
By the time he got home, it was almost 12 o 'clock.
The house was dark and quiet. Such a familiar scene of returning home made Gu Shao almost forget that there was a child in the house.
Gu Shao thought that the child had already gone to sleep, so he didn't pay much attention.
However, as soon as he walked through the living room, he saw the person curled up on the sofa.
Lin Xi, who was asleep, obviously didn't feel anyone approaching.
As if she felt cold, Lin Xi shrank on the sofa and tried to rub her feet into the gap of the sofa.
Lin Xi was still holding her phone in her arms. She was about to call Gu Shao, but in the end, she resisted the urge to call him.
When Gu Shao saw this, he frowned. 'Is there no bed? Is she going to sleep on the sofa? '
However, now, whether to wake her up or not, and how to wake her up, was a problem that troubled Gu Shao.
Fortunately, Lin Xi turned over and almost fell off the sofa. Then, she woke herself up.
Lin Xi opened her eyes dizzily. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Shao standing in front of her.
Lin Xi was instinctively startled and almost fell off the sofa again.
"Gu, Gu … Uh." Lin Xi woke up and hurriedly called out to Gu Shao, "Dad."
She smiled guiltily and greeted him, "Dad, you're back."
Gu Shao looked at Lin Xi and said, "Go to your room and sleep."
"Okay." Lin Xi nodded and obediently got up from the sofa. She returned to her room sleepily.
She was still holding the sofa pillow that she had forgotten to put down.

After entering the room, Lin Xi crawled under the quilt and was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, her eyes widened. 'Oh no, I forgot to tell Gu Shao what I wanted to tell him!'
Lin Xi wanted to talk to Gu Shao again, but she remembered that Gu Shao's tone was a little serious when he spoke to her just now. He seemed unhappy. Lin Xi curled up under the quilt and shrank her neck timidly. In the end, she gave up.
In the end, Lin Xi kept thinking about the matter and stared at the ceiling with her eyes wide open. It was not until midnight that she fell asleep in a daze.
— —
Lin Xi set the alarm and woke up early when she thought about what she wanted to tell Gu Shao the next day.
To her surprise, Gu Shao woke up even earlier than she did.
He had even prepared breakfast.
Breakfast consisted of pancakes that she had made yesterday but didn't eat, as well as a bowl of noodles.
"Eat." Gu Shao motioned for Lin Xi to sit down and eat. His tone was as cold as ever.
When he met Lin Xi's surprised gaze, Gu Shao did not explain. He just felt that he shouldn't let a child cook, so he got up early to cook.
"Good morning, Dad."
"Thank you, Dad!" Other than trying to please him, her words also carried some sincerity.
She was overwhelmed by the favor.
When she was in the Lin family, no one would cook for her. Even if she missed mealtimes for various reasons, she could only sneak into the kitchen to cook something to fill her stomach.
Lin Xi sat at the dining table, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and ate the noodles first.
Lin Xi had already prepared herself. No matter how bad the food tasted, she was going to be grateful and act like it was delicious.
In the end, the bowl of noodles unexpectedly tasted good.
It should be said that it was delicious. It was the taste that she liked.
— —
Seeing that Lin Xi was eating the noodles and sneaking glances at him from time to time, Gu Shao opened his mouth and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Lin Xi was originally organizing her words, but she was interrupted by Gu Shao. The words that she wanted to say were completely messed up.
"Um, Dad, can you take me to school? The previous school … it's a bit far. I want to go to another school." Lin Xi looked at Gu Shao expectantly. Parents had to be involved in school matters. She definitely couldn't go to her mother or Lin Yize.
Hearing this, Gu Shao's hand that was holding the chopsticks paused.
"…" He had no experience in raising children. He seemed to have completely overlooked this matter. Lin Xi was still a fourteen-year-old junior high school student and needed to go to school.
Gu Shao hid the trace of embarrassment in his eyes and replied expressionlessly, "Okay."
However, Lin Xi was excited.
