I Swapped Bodies With a Female Celebrity - Chapter 67

The three-day cybersecurity competition was finally coming to an end.

The biggest surprise of this event was the antivirus software from Yunjing University, which defeated numerous entries developed by cybersecurity companies and emerged as the biggest winner of the competition!

Rumors had it that the developer of this antivirus software was actually a student from Yunjing University!

This news left many cybersecurity companies eager to make their move.

What did this mean? It meant an untapped treasure trove was waiting to be discovered!

Regardless of the antivirus software’s value, what everyone found even more valuable was Qin Lang himself!

“Qin Lang, today you’ll be accepting the award on stage. The prize money isn’t much—just a symbolic 200,000 yuan for first place—but be prepared for the bosses who’ll be chasing after you afterward!”

Hearing Professor Zhao’s words, Qin Lang was stunned.

200,000 yuan, and it’s just symbolic?

But then he remembered what Xiao Ruolin had told him earlier, and he quickly calmed down.

If he were to sell this antivirus software, it could easily fetch tens of millions. Compared to that, 200,000 yuan was nothing!

Soon, the cybersecurity competition was about to present the Best Antivirus Software Award.

Qin Lang took a deep breath and gently patted his cheeks.

“At this competition, the Yun Dun Antivirus Software from Yunjing University has been awarded the title of Best Antivirus Software! Now, let’s invite the developer of Yun Dun Antivirus Software, student Qin Lang, to come on stage and accept the award!”

He really won?

Although he’d already learned the result from Gui Jianchou earlier, hearing the announcement still felt like a dream.

Walking onto the stage, Qin Lang did his best to stay calm.

He took a transparent white trophy and a certificate from the host, posed for a few photos under the spotlight, and then returned to his seat.

“How do you feel?” Professor Zhao asked with a smile, looking at Qin Lang’s dazed expression.

Qin Lang forced a bitter smile. His face felt stiff.

He’d thought accepting an award on stage would be no big deal, but once he was up there, he couldn’t control his racing heart.

Seeing the sea of people below made his head spin!

The last time he’d accepted an award on stage was probably back in first grade, right?

“After the award ceremony, there’ll be an interview. Once that’s over, those CEOs who gave you their business cards will likely approach you again!”

Professor Zhao said solemnly, “Qin Lang, although this antivirus software could set you up for life, I still need to remind you of something!”

Seeing how serious Professor Zhao was, Qin Lang straightened up and said, “Please go ahead, Professor!”

“You have talent and great potential! But technology is always evolving. If you get lost in material comforts, you’ll waste your gifts. I don’t want to see that happen.”

“In you, I see endless possibilities. I don’t know how far you’ll go, but I hope you won’t squander your talent. I want you to use your gifts and abilities to bring something unique to society, our country, and the world!”

Qin Lang smiled wryly. Professor Zhao’s expectations were certainly high!

“What you value isn’t me, Qin Lang, but Qin Yunxuan, isn’t it?” he thought to himself.

But outwardly, Qin Lang nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Professor Zhao. I won’t waste my talent.”

“Good! Oh, and how’s your progress on the Invention Cup?”

Qin Lang’s corners of the mouth twitched. He hadn’t had time to look into it yet.

“Well… I’m preparing for it. I should be ready in a few days!”

“Then hurry up. I don’t lead teams lightly. If you don’t win first place… well, let’s just say you can expect to fail my class!”

Qin Lang wiped the sweat from his forehead, a look of fear on his face.

…

Smack!

In the cafeteria, Chen Xiyuan was eating with her roommates when Wang Wenjie appeared in front of her and slammed his hand on the table.

“Wang Wenjie, you’re disturbing my meal!” Chen Xiyuan frowned.

“You owe me an explanation!” Wang Wenjie said through gritted teeth.

Chen Xiyuan put down her chopsticks. “An explanation? What explanation? Who are you to me? Why should I explain anything to you?”

Wang Wenjie was furious. “I’ve been chasing you for so long, and you never agreed to be my girlfriend. But then you turn around and become that loser Qin Lang’s girlfriend? What are you trying to pull? Do you think you can fool me by using him as a shield?”

“What’s between Qin Lang and me is none of your business! You chasing me was your choice—I never asked you to. As for Qin Lang… how would outsiders like you know how exceptional he is?”

“Exceptional? A loser barely scraping by academically—what’s so exceptional about him?”

After investigating, Wang Wenjie had learned everything about Qin Lang.

And that was exactly why he felt so indignant!

How could a loser like Qin Lang, a nobody, defeat him and win the beauty?

Whether it was looks, character, or background, Qin Lang was inferior to him in every way. How could he accept this outcome?

Chen Xiyuan chuckled lightly. “His excellence is something I know well. You don’t need to understand it.”

Anger flashed across Wang Wenjie’s face.

As a top-tier rich kid in Yunjing City, he’d spent a long time chasing after one girl—he thought he’d shown Chen Xiyuan enough respect!

Yet she kept disrespecting him, over and over again!

Did she really think he wouldn’t dare to get rough with her?

But just then, one of Chen Xiyuan’s roommates let out a surprised exclamation.

“Hey, look! Isn’t that person on TV… Qin Lang?”

A television was mounted on the cafeteria wall, broadcasting news about Yunjing City.

No one had been paying much attention to it, but when Chen Xiyuan’s roommate glanced at the screen, she saw a familiar face.

The person surrounded by reporters—wasn’t that Qin Lang?

At her exclamation, everyone around looked up at the TV.

On screen, Qin Lang wore a slightly shy smile.

“Qin Lang, we heard that the antivirus software you developed independently won first place in the cybersecurity competition. How do you feel about that?”

“Qin Lang, it’s said your antivirus software incorporates many advanced technologies. Did you develop these on your own, or did you have a research team?”

“Qin Lang, we’ve heard many cybersecurity companies have reached out to you. Are there any you’re interested in collaborating with?”

…

The entire cafeteria was stunned.

This guy… was he really the same Qin Lang everyone had been criticizing as a scumbag?

The cybersecurity competition champion?

Everyone gasped in shock.

Even Wang Wenjie finally understood why sister Ruolin had stood up for Qin Lang the other day!

“Now do you see how exceptional my boyfriend is?” Chen Xiyuan said, hiding her own astonishment and speaking with a hint of pride.
