At this moment, Song Ming’s eyes were exceptionally sincere, just like when he was seeing his idol.

"I know I’m foolish, which is why I rushed at the CEO, but I hope the CEO can see my sincerity. I truly want to learn knowledge."

This showed he really regretted it now. He hadn’t expected his CEO to be so capable. If his mentor found out that he had offended such a powerful person, even his mentor probably wouldn’t forgive him. Thinking about this, he regretted it even more.

Xu Ke hadn’t had time to speak when Ji Feng, looking as if he had taken a hit, paled. He hadn’t expected his senior to become like this, let alone kneel to the opponent, which certainly was humiliating, making everyone laugh at him.

"What are you doing? I’m your junior after all, and you said you were going to win. Now that you haven’t won, I absolutely won’t agree to your request; you just care about the CEO’s face. You obviously solved these questions correctly, so don’t be afraid of the CEO’s authority."

At this moment, Ji Feng was really panicking. He hadn’t expected things to develop like this. If he had known, he definitely wouldn’t have relied on Song Ming.

Song Ming took a look at his junior. There was no longer any of his former admiration. In the past, he even thought his junior was a kind-hearted person. His junior had always had a good reputation among the students, but now it seemed like it was just an act, and it was absolutely disgusting.

So at this moment, Song Ming’s face was indifferent, showing no sign of the previous admiration, only hatred: "Junior, I used to always tolerate you because I thought you were just a little girl and that I would help you as long as I could. But now, you’ve become increasingly excessive. In the face of absolute knowledge, not admitting is one thing, but resorting to such tricks is another. You obviously know I solved this paper, although I was only good among classmates."

"It wasn’t until I encountered the CEO that I realized what it meant to say there is always someone better. The CEO is definitely an outstanding figure in finance, but the CEO shows no boastfulness, which is why no one discovered it. Do you really have to force me to admit that I won? What’s the point?"

"You should apologize to the CEO, otherwise, we better not stay in contact anymore."

Xu Ke raised an eyebrow, surprised that this young boy was really determined. He hadn’t seen such resolve. He even thought Song Ming was so fond of the little girl before him. Perhaps the more you like someone, the more you can be disappointed, right?

Otherwise, Song Ming wouldn’t have given up the opportunity to study abroad for this little girl, especially since that school is reputed to be very good.

At this time, Ji Feng looked like he had heard something unbelievable. How could it be that the senior who had been pursuing her had chosen to give up now? He wasn’t that dumb, and everyone thought Song Ming was her sycophant, so how could he have turned things around?

If even Song Ming wasn’t helping her, then what reason did she have to compete with Xu Ke?

Ji Feng didn’t believe it at all, her face paling. She hadn’t expected her senior to become like this, not to mention the people around looked at her like she was a pitiful dog. Those supporting Ji Feng were all retreating now, not expecting such a big turnaround in events. No one dared bear the consequences.

Every one thought about the CEO who had been decisive when he first came to the company. Everyone knew the CEO had a bad temper and was hard to provoke. If this matter was remembered by the CEO, it would likely be difficult to make progress in the company in the future, making everyone gasp in realization.

"Senior Song Ming, what are you talking about? Weren’t we on good terms? And you definitely solved this paper. I admit I cheated this time, which was my fault. But as a little girl, losing face in front of the CEO is embarrassing, and the CEO has been relentlessly bullying me. Didn’t you see it? Is all of this really my fault?"

Seeing her face already on the ground, Ji Feng used the trick she had back in school: whenever she cried, made a scene, or pretended to attempt harm, Senior Song Ming would surely comfort her.

"Alright, you don’t need to act anymore. I won’t believe you ever again. I did so many things for you, yet you didn’t care at all. And now, you even insult the CEO like this. How can you not respect the CEO’s higher education?"

Song Ming didn’t understand why someone with such a high level of education didn’t get the respect they deserved.

Ji Feng realized her senior was immune to any of her tactics now, feeling extreme disappointment, and she directed all that hatred toward Xu Ke.

"It’s all because of you that the senior dislikes me so much. You must have used some trick to make the senior like this. You’re just a despicable person, and your tricks will certainly be exposed."

"How could someone without any education know so many things? It’s all because someone taught you, right? That’s how you know all this knowledge."

Clinging to a last shred of hope, Ji Feng hoped Xu Ke would admit everything, but it only led to disappointment as Xu Ke shook his head.

"These things are naturally what I should know, aren’t they? And you provoking me here—don’t you think you’re going too far? I forgive you today to let everyone know not to assume someone without an education is weak and easy to bully, and that they didn’t come up just by relying on others. Without certain abilities, how could one hold this position? So, I hope people in the company will no longer have restless thoughts. Even if I were to leave the company, what does it have to do with you?"

"We can only demand from others if we do well ourselves. If you can’t even do well yourself, what right do you have to think someone else is blocking your way? If you truly do well, no one will block your way, and you will reach the position you deserve by your own ability."

"So, I hope today’s situation won’t happen in the company again. And since you are here to provoke me, just leave. Get out yourself!"

Xu Ke’s face was icy now, and seeing Xu Ke really angry, especially in front of so many people, Ji Feng only felt her face grow hot. She had thought that the CEO might have been fired and that she could bully him. She hadn’t expected things to turn out like this.

"CEO, it’s my fault. I didn’t realize the seriousness of this matter and foolishly provoked you. I’m just a little girl and hope you can forgive me. I will definitely perform well from now on, and I am a graduate of a prestigious university; I have certain abilities and am stronger than many people."
