Chapter 307: Incoming Call (Part 2)

But just as chaos ensued, the principal’s phone rang.

Upon answering, his expression instantly froze, then his mouth dropped open, “Wha…what…you say it’s…my heavens…quick, quick, let them in, immediately!”

Director Zhang, who was beside him, saw clearly, “Principal, what’s happening?”

Gao Shuai didn’t catch the ‘let them in’ part and joked, “What else could it be, Mr. Zhang? Surely, it’s about not being able to supply electricity. Even I can’t solve this problem, it’s laughable that Zhao Qingfeng thinks he can! Students, remember, if you need anything, just come to me, no need to be shy. Manrou and I will be leaving first!”

Saying this, he prepared to leave.

At this moment.

Suddenly, a rumbling noise came from outside the auditorium.

The deafening sound caused many students in the back rows to look out the window.

What they saw made them scream, followed by even more shouts.

“My goodness!”

“Are those green trucks military vehicles?”

“How is that possible!”

“Our school, despite its strength, couldn’t possibly summon the military, right? But those clearly are soldiers! No wonder the principal said with certainty that we would have electricity within twenty minutes. It turns out it was well-trained military personnel!”

No one could believe that the military’s logistics support team would arrive at the school to organize electricity supply in such a short time.

At this time.

Zhao Qingfeng was thanking Deputy Mayor Gao on the phone.

“Thank you so much, big brother.”

“Don’t mention it.”

“But I still want to ask, how could this be so fast?”

“Hey, the local military region’s Commander Wen is an old comrade-in-arms of mine. It just so happened that they were organizing exercises in the Jingyue district nearby these past few days. Right before you called, he and I had just finished a call planning to meet up. Normally, for such a minor issue as the school’s, he wouldn’t have bothered. But when I mentioned that you were the one who had drafted the ‘Sky Net’ and ‘facial recognition’ security contributions, and that you might even be summoned by the elders once the pilot is successful, my old comrade agreed.”

So that was it.

Zhao Qingfeng deeply felt the importance of connections.

He hadn’t even met the elder yet.

If, in the future, the Skynet trial is successful and he gets to be personally appreciated by the elder, wouldn’t he soar high in China?

After hanging up the phone, the principal came over, “Little Feng, how did you manage to…?”

Zhao Qingfeng chuckled and remained low-key, “I just happen to know a friend whose dad works in the military.”

Gao Shuai was extremely envious because he had never known military officials, but still said disdainfully on the surface, “I thought it was your own ability, turns out it’s just a friend, haha! Actually, I have such friends too, just didn’t want to bother them over such a small matter… Mr. Zhang, don’t push me, yeah!”

Director Zhang didn’t want to hear any more from him and pushed him out the door, causing the students to laugh.

Li Manrou was itching with anger but was sure she would be the first place. Seeing the lights brightly lit and the brightness restored, she immediately urged to continue.

“Okay!”

The principal was feeling mixed.

Admiring Zhao Qingfeng’s friend’s capability, he still couldn’t stop this young man from participating in the computer system competition, announcing on stage, “The Mid-Autumn Festival evening continues!”

Outside was pitch dark, but the auditorium was brightly lit, giving a unique flavor that made the students even more enthusiastic, their excitement not diminished but increased!

“Continue, continue, the evening continues!”

“There are three more people until Shen Lingyao, we all want to hear her original!”

“Shen Lingyao, go for it!”

“Even if it’s not good, I’ll still vote for you because you are the real number one beauty of Jida in my heart!”
