Before he had eaten breakfast, Gu Shao paid a day’s wages and asked Xu Fei to return the aunt.

Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the aunt who was suffocating in the operation was gone.

After Gu Shao left, Lin Xi went online and checked the email again.

In the past few days, Lin Xi has received replies from four training schools in total, most of which are training institutions in mathematics, physical and chemical English.

The conditions offered by several companies are similar. If Lin Xi participates in the competition on behalf of the training organization, the prize money of the competition will go to Lin Xi, and the training organization will give her an extra twice the bonus. If it is a competition without a prize, the training organization will also give her prizes ranging from 6000 to 18000 according to her awards and rankings.

If she gets the bonus, she can pay 3,000 yuan for living expenses to Gu Shao, and save the remaining 3,000 yuan.

Unfortunately, this type of competition is not held every month. Most of the competitions are only held once a year. Among them, there are not many competitions with high gold content.

And Lin Xi looked at the list of competitions provided by the training organization, and the most recent math competition is also next month.

Lin Xi bit her finger, quite regretful.

After logging out of the mailbox, Lin Xi boarded an information website again.

There are the latest competition news on this website. In addition to ordinary student subject competitions, there are also many information on science and technology innovation competitions held outside the school or facing the society.

Lin Xi's eyes swept across the list of competitions one by one, not wanting to miss any of them.

A project marked in bold red is hard to ignore.

"The first Tianchuang Technology Innovation Competition?" Lin Xi looked at the name of the competition and the release date afterwards, and couldn't help but clicked in.

At the very beginning is a brief introduction to the competition similar to the advertising slogan, and then the specific entry instructions.

This is a competition mainly for idea science and technology research and development. It includes four sections of environmental protection, medical health, artificial intelligence and future technology. Participants can choose one section to submit a scientific and technological innovation project, and finally will be divided into four sections. A group of winning groups will be selected, and at least one of the four winning groups will be selected for further development, and the other groups will also get certain marketing opportunities.

And each group will also receive a bonus...

"1000000?!"

Looking at the numbers in the bonus column, Lin Xi's eyes widened, and his jaw almost fell off. Rubbing his eyes, he counted again carefully to confirm that he was not mistaken, it was indeed 1 million.

As long as you participate in a big competition, you can get a prize of 1 million yuan, isn't it too cool?

Lin Xi couldn't help muttering in his heart.

If she has this money, she can not only use it until she finishes her studies smoothly, she may save a little bit, but she can also save a part. In the future, if Gu Shao is really killed by Lin Yize, the two of them can still use the money. Live for a while.

Lin Xi had already started to dream about the good life after receiving the bonus and the plan distribution of the bonus.

After a smirk, Lin Xi shook his head to wake himself up.

—If it is a very high gold content competition, the prize of 1 million is not an exaggeration. The benefits of a good technical project may sometimes far exceed 1 million.

Therefore, this bonus amount is not unusual.

But this also means that the difficulty of this competition itself is completely different from other competitions.

This "Tianchuang Contest" is mainly for participants not students, but professionals with certain experience or scientific research teams in universities. The biggest difference between it and ordinary youth science and technology innovation competitions is that most of those youth science and technology competitions only require an innovative idea or a theoretical model, but this competition requires real results and finished products.

This is not something that Lin Xi, a poor junior high school student who has nothing but a brain, can think of.

Looking at the prize money of the contest with regret, Lin Xi sighed, quit the contest webpage, returned to reality, and revisited other contests for middle school students.

After watching a lap, Lin Xi locked up two competitions in total: a traffic-themed innovation competition and a general type of new technology and creativity competition for middle school students.

After confirmation, Lin Xi entered the registration application page.

Filled in name and age normally...

When it came time to attend the school column, Lin Xi had a hard time.

She probably couldn't go back to the school she studied before, but she didn't have any other schools to fill in.

This item is required, and it is impossible to submit an application if it is not filled in.

Lin Xi sat in front of the computer for a long time, filling in the names of other schools, but hesitated for a while and deleted them.

Finally, Lin Xi had no choice but to close the registration page.

When logging out of the webpage, Lin Xi couldn't help but glanced at the message bar in the lower right corner of the webpage. At this time, the news that popped up was almost all about the ‘Tianchuang Contest’.

Because of the high prize money, the news of the "Sky Creation Competition" was released, not only shocked Lin Xi, but also caused a lot of waves in this circle.

Some people started to discuss this contest in the forum on the website, and some even set up a special forum page for the ‘Tianchuang Competition’.

Lin Xi couldn't hold back, and clicked in.

At this point, there are already dozens of posts in it, all of them.

[Come in, let me see how many people like me participate in the competition for the prize money. 】

[Question: Can I really qualify for development if I win a prize? 】

【We are a design team and have a very good project. I hope to find a team with development and manufacturing experience and strength to cooperate with and come in and chat intentionally. 】

[The roommates are all abroad, does anyone form a group to participate? 】

[I have rich scientific research experience, recruit teammates online, if you are the one. 】



Because the finished project is involved, it is impossible for one person to complete it, so there are a lot of posts about finding teammates online like this.

Lin Xi casually clicked one to enter, and the host was chatting enthusiastically with other people.

It seems that the chat is almost done. At this time, the host released a group number: [This is my newly-built group. If you are interested, you can add it. It doesn’t matter if you group or not. If you join in, we can chat together, by the way. You can exchange information about the contest at any time. 】

The group leader's words are relaxed.

Lin Xi pumped his brain, entered this string of numbers on his mobile phone, and sent out an application to join the group.

Seeing that after the application was sent, there was no response, and Lin Xi didn't care.

Soon this episode of convulsions in the brain was thrown behind by Lin Xi.



In the afternoon, because Gu Shao told her not to cook dinner yesterday, Lin Xi just made a few noodles and waited for Gu Shao to come back.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't see Gu Shao come back.

Thinking about what he was going to tell Gu Shao, Lin Xi was unwilling to go to sleep, so he simply waited in the living room, staring at the direction of the entrance door with a pair of eyes.

Later, Lin Xi didn't know when he fell asleep.



There was a product test today, and Gu Shao stayed late at the NTN Center.

By the time he got home, it was almost 12 o'clock.

The house was dark and quiet. Such a familiar scene of going home made Gu Shao almost forget that there is still another child in the house.

Gu Shao thought that the child had gone to bed and didn't care.

As a result, as soon as I walked through the living room, I saw people curled up on the sofa.

Lin Xi, who was asleep, obviously didn't feel anyone approaching.

As if feeling cold, Lin Xi shrank on the sofa, and then tried to rub her feet into the gap between the sofa.

She was still holding her cell phone in her arms, and Lin Xi was going to call Gu Shao, and finally resisted the call that he hadn't made.

Upon seeing this, Gu Shao frowned: Is there no bed? Want to sleep on the sofa?

But now, waking up, not waking up, and how to wake up has become a problem that bothers Gu Shao.

Fortunately, at this moment, Lin Xi turned over and almost fell off the sofa, and then woke himself up.

Lin Xi opened his eyes faintly, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Gu Shao standing in front of him.

Lin Xi was taken aback instinctively and almost fell off the sofa again.

"Gu Gu, Gu... Uh." Lin Xi woke up and quickly called Gu Shao: "Dad."

With a guilty smile, he said hello: "Daddy, you are back."

Gu Shao looked at Lin Xi: "Go to your room to sleep."

"Oh." Lin Xi nodded, got up from the sofa obediently, and returned to his room sleepily.

He was still holding the sofa pillow that he had forgotten to put down.



After entering the room, Lin Xi went directly into the bed and was about to fall asleep. He suddenly widened his eyes: That's it, she forgot to tell Gu Shao what she was going to tell Gu Shao!

Lin Xi wanted to talk to Gu Shao again, but thinking that when Gu Shao spoke to her just now, his tone was a little serious, as if he wasn't very happy. Lin Xi was nestled in the quilt, shrunk his neck eagerly, and finally gave up. .

The end result was that Lin Xi was thinking about things, staring at the ceiling with wide-eyed eyes, and didn't fall asleep in a daze until midnight.



Thinking of what to say to Gu Shao the next day, Lin Xi adjusted the alarm clock and woke up early.

Surprisingly, Gu Shao was even earlier than her.

And also cooked breakfast.

For breakfast, she made uneaten cakes and a bowl of noodles yesterday.

"Let's eat." Gu Shao motioned Lin Xi to sit down for dinner, his tone still as cold as ever.

Meeting Lin Xi's surprised gaze, Gu Shao did not explain: He just thought that a child should not be allowed to cook, so he got up in advance and did it.

"Good morning, Dad."

"Thank you Dad!" This thank you not only pleased, but also had a sense of true feeling in it.

Too flattered.

When she was at Lin's house, no one would make her food. Even if she missed the time to eat for various reasons, she could only sneak into the kitchen to get something to eat.

Lin Xi sat down at the table, took the chopsticks and ate the noodles first.

Lin Xi was already prepared, even if it was unpalatable, she still had to be grateful to show that it was delicious.

As a result, after one bite, this bowl of noodles was unexpectedly not unpalatable.

It should be said that it is delicious, it is the taste she likes.



Seeing Lin Xi eating the noodles, did he sneak a glance at him with his eyes, and he looked like he wanted to talk, Gu Shao asked, "What do you want to say?"

Lin Xi was organizing the wording, but Gu Shaoyi interrupted him, and the language he wanted was completely messed up.

"Well, it's Dad, can you take me to school? The previous school... is a bit far away. I want to change to another school." Lin Xi looked at Gu Shao expectantly: Parents need to be present for admission, and she must be impossible. Go to my mother or Lin Yize.

Hearing this, Gu Shao had a meal with his chopsticks.

"..." He has no experience in bringing children. He seems to have completely ignored this: Lin Xi is still a fourteen-year-old junior high school student and needs to go to school.

Covering the awkwardness in his eyes, Gu Shao replied blankly: "Yes."

But in exchange for Lin Xi's excitement.
