Just as the manager was about to respond, a group of people entered the exhibition through the entrance.

Among the group of people were the official representatives of the exhibition, Director Yang and Zi Yi.

Behind the two people were several leaders and directors of the Robotics Association.

Zi Yi was walking beside a group of middle-aged people, but she did not lose out at all in terms of her imposing aura. Coupled with her face that would attract everyone’s attention everywhere she went, many of the youngsters were amazed.

Zi Yi and the group of leaders walked up to the group of university professors.

First, both groups shook hands with each other.

One of the professors looked at Zi Yi and said with a smile, “So it turns out, Little Zi is with the leaders. I was asking Professor Dou just moments ago how come I didn’t see you.”

The corner of Zi Yi’s lips curved up. “We were discussing the order of the showcase and the situation of the live broadcast.”

“Hmm? Student Zi is also responsible for the live broadcast today?”

“My club has a full set of live broadcasting equipment, which has come in handy for this event.”

Professor Wu gave Zi Yi a thumbs up. “Good, very good.”

Director Yang looked at all the exhibitors and everyone subconsciously surrounded him.

Only then did he speak with a smile. “Anyone that can gather here today to participate in the robot exhibition has proven that they are the cream of the crop.

“Our country’s development of talents in this field has only started in recent years. In the last two years, a huge portion of the parts we needed had to be imported but now, we can mostly produce it ourselves and this proves to be a significant progress.

“This exhibition might look ordinary, but there will be a live broadcast worldwide later on and I hope that everyone can do their best during the exhibition.

“Everyone should still remember the international robot competition Professor Dou took part in last summer. At that time, as our level was inferior compared to the other countries, other people had copied Professor Dou’s team’s idea and even slandered us.”

Speaking of this, Director Yang had caused everyone to recall the competition back then. Professor Dou and his team withdrew from the competition in the middle because they had been slandered for plagiarizing another team’s idea. In the end, if not for the fact that they managed to clear their name, China’s robot industry would have been heavily criticized.

Director Yang continued to speak. “There’s something else that I have not informed everyone of in advance. A robot club from Country D will participate in the exhibition.”

His words immediately incurred a widespread discussion.

“This is clearly our country’s robot exhibition. What are people from Country D coming here for?”

“Is it intentional?”

“It obviously is.”

“Who doesn’t know that Country D’s robots are ranked first worldwide? If they really come, isn’t it a clear provocation to the robots our country makes?”

“Why did the higher-ups agree to it? It’s really unpleasant for other people to join in for this type of exhibition.”

In fact, many people lost their confidence after hearing that piece of news. It was not a fake statement to say that Country D was the leading country in terms of robot development. Their progress had also surpassed their country’s progress in all aspects.

Someone immediately tried to back out.

“If people from Country D are really coming to participate in this exhibition, what’s there left for us to do here?”

Director Yang immediately furrowed his brow upon hearing these words.

Just then, a voice sounded from behind the crowd. “Which robot company or school from Country D is participating?”

Everyone subconsciously looked at the young man standing behind the crowd.

Director Yang replied, “It’s people from the BE Robot Club.”

Xiang Lu laughed scornfully at the mention of the name. “The robots in their club are only above average level and if such a club is capable of scaring you, I’d advise you to go home early. Otherwise, before the exhibition even starts, you’ll be frightened to the extent of peeing yourself. That in itself is humiliating.”

Xiang Lu’s words were so rude that the group of people who had thoughts of backing out turned red in embarrassment.

One of the people could not take it lying down and said in a slightly annoyed voice, “If you’re so capable, then you should win against all the robots BE club showcases today. Who isn’t capable of making boastful remarks? If you end up losing, that’s actually what is humiliating.”

“Hmph!” Just as Xiang Lu wanted to talk, his manager stopped him.

The manager laughed and said, “Mister, please don’t mind us. Our club member is just outspoken like this. But I think what he said is right. This is our home court and our country’s development of robots is also progressing well. Why should we be afraid of a robot club that is only above-average level in Country D?”

The man still felt annoyed deep down, but even Director Yang had agreed with what the manager said and he ended up remaining silent.

Director Yang said, “The reason I’m informing you right now is because I hoped that in doing so everyone would not feel too much pressure. What’s more, this is Zi Yi’s racing club and you should believe that she will not embarrass everyone.”

Xiang Lu’s snort sounded once again.

Zi Yi looked at the young man, who was standing over there with a disdainful expression, and had no intentions to argue with him. She merely said, “Since you’re here to participate in the exhibition, everyone should go all out and do the best that you can. If the other party requests a competition, I’ll accept the challenge.”

“You?” Xiang Lu scoffed. “What can you do? Don’t think that you’re unparalleled just by making a few robots.”

Zi Yi did not get angry at his words. Instead, the corner of her lips curved up. “What you say is indeed accurate, but I have not only created a few robots. However, I am indeed unparalleled.”

Xiang Lu was shocked by Zi Yi’s words. He had never seen such an arrogant person.

To think that she was even more arrogant than him!

Just then, his manager pulled him back.

He could only swallow the words he wanted to say initially. In the end, he said, “Then I hope that you will not be the one to cower first when the time comes.”

“Are you looking down on my participation?”

“I didn’t say that.”

Xiang Lu kept his mouth shut after that.

Zi Yi looked away and asked Director Yang, “When will they be arriving?”

Director Yang checked the time. “They should be here in another hour.”

Professor Dou furrowed his brows. “The exhibition will be starting in half an hour’s time and so are we supposed to wait for them?”

“Why should we wait?” Zi Yi said with an indifferent expression, “This is our country’s robot exhibition and they aren’t guests who have been invited by us. Since they wish to attend, don’t they know they should arrive earlier? People who don’t even have the sense of time do not deserve our respect at all.”

“But… they are our international friends and we will get criticized if we do not wait for them.”

Everyone had their opinions. Some people felt that it would be better to wait while some felt it was better not to wait.

As the opinions were divided, the leaders were also having difficulty making decisions.

Zi Yi glanced at everyone and said, “This is my place and I have the final say. If other people say anything, get them to direct it at me.”

Having said that, she headed somewhere else.

“Little Zi, where are you going?” Professor Dou asked.

“I’m going to get ready.”

Everyone looked at the back view of Zi Yi, who had left just like that and they fell into silence.

Just then, Xiang Lu also said, “Let’s go and get ready too.”
