The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 1216: Chapter 1216: Zeus Tanzil Was Quite Devastated

Candice Yancey liked how Nathalie Quinlan was relaxed and herself in front of her. She leaned back, relaxed, and smiled, ”Remember to notify me when the results come out.”

Nathalie Quinlan just dipped a piece of tripe, picked it up, her expression casual and confident: ”Okay.”

Three days later, the selection results for the world software competition qualifications came out.

Something unexpected happened.

Traditionally, students from Southern University’s computer science department were the representatives for the national competition. This year, however, the selected representative wasn’t from Southern University.

It was from neighboring Tsinghua University!

It was known that Tsinghua’s computer science department had always been outclassed by Southern University’s. The two schools were on entirely different levels in this field.

This time, the committee’s decision to not choose Southern’s student and instead select one from Tsinghua was already surprising.

What was even more shocking came next—the selected person wasn’t from Tsinghua’s computer science department!

The person was from the Chinese Medicine department.

And a freshman!

As soon as the final results came out, the news quickly spread across universities, especially Tsinghua and Southern University, whose students competed for this slot every year. This year, Tsinghua had a major upset, and Southern’s students were eager to find out who Nathalie Quinlan was.

In the boys’ dormitory, room 3306.

Stewin Hoffman was the first to hear the news and quickly told the others, ”I swear, the person chosen this time is Nathalie Quinlan.”

”Nathalie Quinlan?” Another person lying on the upper bunk immediately glanced at Zeus Tanzil, ”You mean Mr. Tanzil’s goddess was chosen?”

The basketball in Zeus Tanzil’s arms fell to the ground; he forgot to pick it up, standing there stunned.

Stewin Hoffman patted him on the shoulder, grinning as he congratulated him: ”Mr. Tanzil, congrats, your goddess got selected. I thought it would be someone from Southern University again this year, but it turned out to be someone from our school.”

It’s just a pity Nathalie Quinlan wasn’t from the computer science department.

There was a lot of commentary outside now, and quite a few conspiracy theories.

Stewin Hoffman, however, didn’t think much about it, simply saying, ”I hope this year the country can make it to the group stage, instead of being stopped at the top 16 of the selection round.”

Zeus Tanzil’s mind was buzzing so loudly he didn’t hear what said at all. Annoyed, he brushed away the hand on his shoulder and said in a low voice, ”I’m going out to make a phone call.”

He wanted to call his aunt to ask what this was all about.

Nathalie Quinlan being a representative for Lighten Chaser was fine.

But now she was selected for the world software competition.

He couldn’t quite accept the disparity at once. It was like someone you thought was right by your side suddenly became someone you couldn’t reach even if you jumped. That sense of loss was more painful than death.

Zeus Tanzil strode quickly out of the dormitory.

Zayn Fisher, meanwhile, walked in with a dark expression, threw the professional books he was holding onto the table, pulled out a chair, sat in front of his laptop, opened the computer, but didn’t move even while sitting there.

Stewin Hoffman had just gossiped with everyone about Nathalie Quinlan winning the competition spot.

Everyone in the dormitory who knew better didn’t go to provoke Zayn Fisher at this moment, instead, they tacitly found something to do, pretending to be busy.

Zayn Fisher sat dazed in front of the computer for ten minutes.

Finally, the phone he left on the table rang.

The dazed Zayn Fisher finally had a bit of reaction, his eyelashes fluttered, and he picked up the phone to look at it. It was a text message from an unfamiliar number.

The text was blunt, straightforwardly saying they suspected this selection result was shady, and asked Zayn Fisher if he wanted to cause trouble.

Zayn Fisher didn’t finish reading the message from the stranger but deleted it.
