Southern City Awaits The Moon’s Return - Chapter 53

Chapter 53: You Forced Me To Do This!

“You’ve gone too far!”

After Yang Ming made the situation clear, Zhang Qianqian said angrily.

Shen Yugui also frowned.

That was indeed shameless!

Shen Zhilan took their design and made a group with the students from Class Two behind Chen Zifan’s back, and was now fighting against him?

Where did her confidence come from?

Shen Zhilan simply sighed. “Yang Ming, you said so yourself. We worked hard together on this design for half a year. I helped build this, so I also have the right to take this design!”

Yang Ming immediately shouted. “How have you done that? Every time you come, you just sit quietly without doing anything. You haven’t typed a letter in this program!”

Shen Zhilan raised her eyebrows. “Coding is the most basic work, but you guys said that it’s tiring, so I don’t have to do it since I’m a girl. That doesn’t mean that I didn’t participate in designing the concept. As someone from a computing major, shouldn’t you understand that?”

Coding was only the expression of their ideas. The most important thing was idea and framework.

Yang Ming choked and was silent.

Shen Zhilan continued, “Besides, you encountered a bottleneck and couldn’t optimize the code, but our Class Two team managed to solve it. That optimization wasn’t your idea anyway.”

Optimization?

Shen Yugui raised her eyebrows.

The optimization was easy for her, but it was not simple for a group of fourth-year university students.

Did Shen Zhilan really find an optimization path?

Yang Ming grew even angrier. “We’re still going to find a way!”

Shen Zhilan nodded. “I know, that’s why I told the teacher that when the design draft is handed in, whoever’s team finishes the optimization better will take part in the competition. Isn’t that fair? Everyone’s aim is to win honor for the school. We have to look at the bigger picture.”

Shen Zhilan always made herself stand in the moral high ground. Even if everyone knew that her methods were underhanded, they had no basis to accuse her.

Yang Ming flushed all the way down to his neck. He could not say a word. “You, you…”

Chen Zifan stepped forward and clasped his shoulder before saying, “That’s enough!”

He grabbed Yang Ming and left.

When Shen Zhilan spoke, her eyes had been trained on Chen Zifan the entire time. However, he did not meet her gaze even once.

Thinking about what he said in the classroom this morning… She was an illegitimate daughter. Would he look down on her forever?”

Shen Zhilan clenched her fist and suddenly said, “Chen Zifan. You forced me to do this!”

Chen Zifan paused and looked back, stunned.

Shen Zhilan said sadly, “When my identity was exposed, you wanted to kick me out of the team. If I didn’t take the initiative to leave and make another team, then I would’ve lost anything to do with the trophy! I only did this to protect myself!”

Hearing these words, Chen Zifan’s lips hooked up in a mocking smile.

However, Yang Ming looked at Shen Zhilan in shock. “What the hell are you talking about? You’re the chief architect of the team! What right did Chen Zifan have to kick you out?!”

Shen Zhilan froze. “What?”

Yang Ming immediately frowned. “When signing up, Zifan said you needed this honor, so the name written on the application form for chief architect was yours! Unless you quit yourself, he had no right to expel you!”

The person who wrote the program was called a programmer, but it was the architect who designed the program.

The main architect was the main person in charge of the entire project!!

Shen Zhilan looked at Chen Zifan in disbelief. She never thought that he would let her be the chief architect.
