What's going on with his team?
Gu Shao frowned slightly and took the registration form from Wang Huazhou.
The moment he saw the extremely familiar name, Gu Shao's face revealed a rare look of astonishment. His first reaction was that it was someone with the same name. His second reaction was that his identity had been stolen.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Gu Shao continued to read on without a change in his expression.
His name was his, his ID number was his, and even his home address was filled in word for word.
However, why didn't he know when he had signed up for the 'Heavenly Creation Competition'?
Gu Shao raised his eyebrows, and the face of a certain girl who liked to use petty tricks flashed across his mind.
He probably knew who had 'stolen' his information.
Not many people knew about Gu Shao's identity, and after he left the Gu family, even Old Master Gu didn't know about the new address he had registered in his household register.
After thinking about it, the only person who could recite his ID number and fill in his home address was probably the little girl who was registered in the same household register as him.
"Is there any other information?" Gu Shao asked.
"Also, this is the information of the other members of the competition group." Wang Huazhou handed another set of information to Gu Shao.
After receiving the information, Gu Shao's gaze quickly swept across the few pages of information.
"Shen Ye." The youngest of the Shen family?
Because of Old Master Gu's relationship with Old Master Shen, Gu Shao had some understanding of the Shen family. If he remembered correctly, the Shen family had a grandson who seemed to be Gu Xi's classmate.
Gu Shao continued to flip through the information.
When he saw the three words' Gu Yanlin ', he was slightly stunned.
Gu Yanlin should have still been abroad when he signed up, so how did he get in touch with Gu Xi?
Gu Shao thought to himself.
However, in Gu Shao's understanding, even if his daughter and the eldest son knew each other in advance, it must have been Gu Yanlin who came to look for Gu Xi.
Maybe it was that guy who asked Gu Xi for help in this competition.
[Since you've affected your sister's studies, you don't have to take this year's New Year's money.]
Gu Shao narrowed his eyes.
— —
Wang Huazhou had been paying attention to the changes in Gu Shao's expression.
At this moment, Wang Huazhou was dumbfounded when he saw Gu Shao staring at the document intently as if it was the first time he had seen it.
Could it be that President Gu didn't know about this? Instead, someone had used President Gu's information to register?
Thinking of this possibility, Wang Huazhou became nervous.
"President Gu, we didn't do a good job in reviewing the information this time. There might have been some loopholes in the information review, so there was a mistake." Wang Huazhou lowered his head and reflected on himself first.
After a pause, he said, "I'll get someone to recheck the information immediately. Also, we'll check your information strictly."
"No need," Gu Shao said as he closed the file.
"No, no need?" Wang Huazhou was stunned.
The next second, Gu Shao said, "It should be my daughter."
As he spoke, Gu Shao looked like he was having a headache.
Gu Shao felt angry and amused at the same time when he thought of Gu Xi's sly and pretended obedient look.
He seemed to finally understand how many parents felt when they posted that their children used adults' ID numbers and mobile phone numbers to register for social media accounts and top up their memberships …
Wang Huazhou was dumbfounded when he heard this. "Your daughter?!"
"She was probably curious about the competition this time. When she registered, she received the age restriction and used my ID number."
Wang Huazhou was speechless. So that was why.
To think that the higher-ups of the competition team were secretly pondering President Gu's intentions for registering for the competition this time.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Wang Huazhou's face.
However, he couldn't blame them entirely.
For the group "Battle of the Top of Heaven Creation", it was hard to imagine that the real contestant was an underage girl just by looking at their project design plan.
After all, although the project design plan submitted by this group was only a preliminary draft, it was already pretty decent.
And the idea was pretty good.
They had always thought that this project was a project that Gu Shao had researched before.
Gu Shao looked at Wang Huazhou and asked, "Is the project design plan out too?"
"Yes, I happened to have a copy here." Wang Huazhou took out a USB flash drive and handed it to Gu Shao.
He had originally planned to take this electronic document back to study and study.
"It's a companion smart device," Wang Huazhou said. He paused for a moment and said, "Your daughter did a good job."
Gu Shao didn't comment. He opened the first draft of the project design of Gu Xi's team on the computer.
Gu Shao was sure that this project wasn't done by Gu Yanlin with just one glance.
Gu Yanlin majored in electronic technology. Currently, this project hadn't progressed to that stage yet.
However, Gu Shao originally thought that Gu Xi and that kid from the Shen family were just making a proposal for a show. In the end, after looking at this project, Gu Shao realized that this design was surprisingly good.
After Gu Shao looked through the project design concept outline, he carefully looked at the preliminary design ideas at the back.
"The idea is pretty good." Gu Shao commented. His steady and calm tone made it seem like he wasn't praising his daughter, but rather stating a fact.
"It's indeed pretty good. Your daughter's overall idea is very forward-looking, and the entire design is relatively complete and reasonable." Wang Huazhou also nodded with a smile on his face. He wasn't stingy with his agreement.
"Oh right, especially the function of simulating 'emotions', I think it's a very big highlight," Wang Huazhou said.
His words weren't completely flattering Gu Shao.
Gu Shao didn't say anything. However, from an angle that other people couldn't see, Mr. Gu's eyes flashed with a hint of smugness that he didn't even notice.
"Mr. Gu, how do you think we should deal with this situation now?" Wang Huazhou asked with a hint of flattery in his tone.
In fact, NTN was the real party of this Heavenly Creation Competition, so naturally, Gu Shao had the final say on how to deal with this situation.
—
Gu Shao looked at "his" registration form, and his temples throbbed again.
"This registration form is invalid," Gu Shao said.
Wang Huazhou's eyes widened when he heard Gu Shao's words. "Invalid?"
This was his daughter's participation in the competition.
Wang Huazhou thought that Gu Shao would use his authority to retain the right to participate in the competition and let Gu Xi continue to participate.
He didn't expect Mr. Gu to be so upright and outspoken as to place righteousness before family.
Wang Huazhou sighed in his heart.
Actually, he still felt a little regretful. The project that Gu Xi and the others submitted was actually quite good. It was considered outstanding among all the proposals submitted so far, and he was quite looking forward to it.
—
However, it turned out that Wang Huazhou had thought too much.
Right after he said that the registration form was invalid, Gu Shao said again, "I'll submit a new registration form for her later."
When he met Wang Huazhou's puzzled gaze, Gu Shao said again, "Change the competition rules. Remove the age restriction and add guardian information to the information bar for underage participants."
Wang Huazhou only reacted when he heard Gu Shao's words and nodded. This kind of adjustment wasn't impossible. Many competitions were done this way.
However …
If he remembered correctly, among the applicants who were eliminated in the early stages, some of them didn't meet the requirements because of their age and other information.
With this change, the number of people who agreed with the request to enter the next round would increase again.
Their workload would also increase as well …
However, these were all small problems. As long as the party was happy, it was fine.
"I'll arrange for the adjustment right away," Wang Huazhou said.
Gu Shao nodded. "Go ahead."
—
Wang Huazhou's side acted quickly. Soon, an announcement about the adjustment of the competition was posted on the official website of the 'Heavenly Creation Competition'. In addition, the registration channel was opened again.
Gu Shao logged in and first filled in his information in the 'guardian' column. Then, he filled in Gu Xi's name, birthday, identity, school, and so on in the participant's information bar.
Seeing Gu Shao's actions, Xu Fei was a little surprised.
He wasn't surprised by his boss's' doting 'of the child, but …
"Boss, you actually remember Xiaoxi's identity?" He even occasionally forgot the ending of his own digits …
Gu Shao glanced at Xu Fei and said matter-of-factly, "Of course I remember my own child's information."
Was there a need to make such a fuss?
—
In the afternoon, Gu Xi finished school.
Originally, Gu Xi thought that the driver would come to pick her up, but to her surprise, the person who came was actually Gu Shao.
"Daddy?" Gu Xi jumped into the car and looked at Gu Shao in surprise.
Seeing the girl beside him look so surprised to see him, Gu Shao felt an inexplicable sense of warmth in his heart.
Originally, Gu Shao wanted to seriously educate Gu Xi about the matter of her registering for the 'Heavenly Creation Competition' without her parents' knowledge.
After all, although her motive was different, Gu Xi's behavior was essentially no different from those who secretly used their parents' phones to play games without their parents' knowledge.
In the end, Gu Shao forcefully took back the words he had prepared to teach her before he came.
"You have to study hard in school. If you encounter problems that you can't handle, you have to know how to communicate with your parents," Gu Shao said in a deep voice.
Hearing Gu Shao's sudden words, Gu Xi looked puzzled.
"Did our teacher say that?" Gu Xi asked doubtfully.
Gu Shao's words sounded like the prelude to her parents being called to school. However, after thinking about it, Gu Xi couldn't think of any problem that would cause her parents to be called to school.
"I did," Gu Shao said.
Gu Xi was even more puzzled. However, in front of Gu Shao, Gu Xi nodded obediently. "Okay."
—
The car fell silent again.
Gu Shao answered a phone call.
Gu Xi took out her phone from the pocket of her school uniform. Notifications kept popping up.
When she turned on her phone, sure enough, she was bombarded with a bunch of messages from Big Brother [AAA].
[AAA]: I've seen the suggestions you sent before.
[AAA]: There's only one word to describe it: awesome!
[AAA]: If we add those points, I think our design is going to explode!
[AAA]: How did you think of all this?
After saying that, Big Brother [3A] even sent an emoji full of admiration.
[AAA]: It's simply turning something rotten into something magical.
[AAA]: Cough, that's not right. Your design is already very good. It's the icing on the cake, the icing on the cake, haha.
…
Gu Xi had already gotten used to this big brother's octopus-like chatting speed.
Gu Xi recalled the design additions she made today and replied: [As long as you think it's feasible, that's good. However, I'm not sure if there will be any technical conflicts or illogical parts.]
Although Gu Xi had also seriously looked through the design process and drawings, she was still at the learning stage. She really couldn't guarantee that there wouldn't be any bugs.
[AAA]: I've looked through it as a whole. There's nothing wrong with it.
[AAA]: Speaking of which, Baby X, have you been studying somewhere recently?
[X]:?
[AAA]: You're making rapid progress.
Compared to [X]'s initial proposal to the later versions, which involved some professional technical parts, [X]'s progress was simply visible to the naked eye.
Before Gu Xi could reply, the other party sent another message: [Wait, I'll finish the system's drawing tonight.]
After saying that, [AAA] sent over an extremely provocative emoji. It was a black background with a large bouquet of roses in the middle. The dewdrops on the flowers were still sparkling. Below the emoji was a colorful caption: [I won't be able to sleep tonight.]
Gu Xi: "…" Where did this middle-aged and elderly emoji come from? It's simply poisonous.
Also, don't use emojis randomly, okay?!
—
On the other side, Gu Shao ended the call. He looked down and saw Gu Xi holding her phone with both hands. Her head was buried in her hands as she focused on fiddling with it. Her nimble fingertips danced quickly on the phone screen.
"Don't play with your phone in the car," Gu Shao reminded her.
Two days ago, a parent complained in the parents' group chat that their child was nearsighted due to too much homework.
Then, the homeroom teacher shared an article in the group. The general content of the article was: Children nowadays are nearsighted not because they have too much homework, but because their posture or environment is not right, or because they have been using electronic products for too long.
Upon hearing Gu Shao's slightly serious reminder, Gu Xi quickly put her phone back into her pocket. She turned her head and smiled guiltily at the other party. She nodded and replied softly, "Okay."
Her phone was still vibrating in her pocket.
After a few minutes, Gu Xi couldn't help but pick up the phone.
Then, she sneaked a glance at Gu Shao next to her.
At this moment, Gu Shao received another call and was saying something to the person on the other end of the line. Gu Xi then took out her phone and carefully switched it to the other hand. She placed it next to the seat and prepared to continue discussing the design with [AAA].
Gu Xi thought that Gu Shao didn't notice her actions, but she didn't know that Gu Shao had seen everything.
[Why don't we meet up?] This was the latest message from [AAA].
[This project isn't simple, especially the part about the device's intelligent learning simulation. It's a little complicated and difficult to explain clearly over the phone. Why don't we meet up and talk about it?]
Moreover, he really wanted to meet up with [X]. Together with [Lin], the three of them could brainstorm together. Perhaps they could come up with more ideas.
Gu Xi knew what the other party meant. She thought about it and realized that the other party seemed to be in City B. It was fine to meet up or have a video call.
However, Gu Xi quickly thought of another problem. What if the other party found out that she was underage and didn't want to bring her to the competition?
Gu Xi was in a dilemma.
Meanwhile, Gu Shao's face darkened slightly. "…"
—
At night, Gu Shao was in the study room. He faced the computer and posted a question on a student's educational exchange website. [Under what circumstances would you save the name of another person you're chatting with? For example, AAA, instead of using the normal name?]
There were soon replies below.
[Hahaha, I usually use 10086 or 10000 instead.]
[What a coincidence, I saved my girlfriend's name too.]
[You just don't want your parents to know who the other party is.]
I have a better way. My mom doesn't let me play games, so I saved the names of my teammates who play games with me as the names of the students with good grades in our class. The group chat has also been changed to a study group. We even have a secret code. There are a few questions today. It's about how many rounds we'll play today …]
Most of the people who answered were students. Looking at the variety of answers, Gu Shao frowned.
After exiting the webpage, Gu Shao typed a few more words into the search bar. [Chat with the other party. Let's meet …]
Before Gu Shao could type out the rest of the question, many related topics appeared under the search bar.
[I'm going to meet my online friends!]
[Online dating? Let's meet.]
[My online dating partner of a year wants to meet me.]
[I'm going to meet my online dating partner. Can I meet her?]
…
Gu Shao's face darkened. [What the hell?]
—
When Aunt Mei came in with tea for Gu Shao, she saw that Gu Shao was staring at the computer in front of him. He didn't seem to be in a good mood.
"Sir, the tea is here. It's getting late. Don't stay up too late even if you're working." Aunt Mei came in and served the tea to Gu Shao. Just as she was about to persuade Gu Shao to go to bed early, she realized that he didn't seem to be working.
Aunt Mei's gaze swept past Gu Shao's computer screen. Gu Shao's previous search history was still on the screen.
'How to determine if a child is dating online?' 'How to deal with a child's online dating?' 'What do parents think when their child is in junior high school?'
Aunt Mei was stunned. She looked puzzled. Before she could understand what was going on, Gu Shao had closed the webpage.
"Aunt Mei, is there anything else?" Gu Shao asked.
"Ah, there's something I want to ask you." After a pause, Aunt Mei said, "It's going to be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days. I was wondering if I should prepare some nice clothes for Xiaoxi if we're going out."
On the surface, Aunt Mei was talking about preparing clothes for Gu Xi. In fact, she was indirectly asking if Gu Shao wanted to go back to the Gu family.
Old Master Gu was looking forward to Gu Shao bringing Xiaoxi back. When the two of them weren't at home during the day, Old Master Gu had called several times in a row. He was afraid that Gu Shao wouldn't go back.
Upon hearing this, Gu Shao glanced at Aunt Mei and replied, "Go and prepare."
Aunt Mei immediately smiled when she heard Gu Shao's reply. "In that case, I'll go and prepare."
After saying that, Aunt Mei said with a smile, "Old Mister will definitely be very happy."
After all, everyone in the Gu family had been looking forward to Gu Shao bringing Gu Xi back.
Not only were the Gu family looking forward to seeing Gu Xi, but Gu Xi was also looking forward to meeting the Gu family.
Therefore, on the night before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gu Xi didn't sleep. From time to time, she walked back and forth in front of Gu Shao to make her presence known.
In fact, she just wanted to know what Gu Shao had planned for tomorrow. She wanted to know if he would take her to the Gu family and when they would leave.
In the study, Gu Shao was finally annoyed by a certain girl who was trying to make her presence known. He withdrew his gaze from the stack of documents in front of him and looked at Gu Xi, who had been pacing back and forth at the door of the study more than a dozen times.
"Go to sleep. You have to go to Grandpa's place tomorrow morning."
When she finally heard Gu Shao's words, Gu Xi's eyes lit up and she couldn't help smiling. She had to go there early tomorrow morning? That's great.
In fact, Gu Xi didn't know why she was so happy. Anyway, she was quite happy.
With Gu Shao's confirmation, Gu Xi went back to her room to sleep.
—
The next day, before Gu Xi and Gu Shao set off for the Gu family's old mansion, a guest came to their house.
It was Gu Xuan and Gu Chenyi.
