Jiang Yao walked around her to the coffee table and bent down to pick up a bottle of water. He unscrewed the cap and took a sip, then put it down and looked at his stunned mother. “I plan to treat Nian Nian to a meal.”

“You invited her to dinner?” Tang Wanru’s eyebrows twitched. Her heart was floating in the air and she couldn’t find a foothold. “There’s no need, right?”

Jiang Yao looked at her in confusion.

He wanted to treat Qiao Nian to a meal. What did she mean by no need?

Tang Wanru was preoccupied and said to herself, “So what if she enters the next round? It’s just a competition. Not to mention that she enters the next round, it has nothing to do with us even if she gets a ranking in the competition. We don’t have to curry favor with her just because she participated in a competition…”

!!
“Mom!”

Jiang Yao frowned and interrupted her forcefully, telling her to stop talking.

Then, he said, “Do you know what you’re talking about? The World Software Competition is not just some lousy competition. This competition is not only valuable domestically but also internationally. Everyone who studies computer science wants to win such an award. Let me give you an example. Do you know the Nobel Prize?”

Tang Wanru just did not care about the academic world. She wasn’t ignorant. Back then, she had also graduated from Cambridge. However, she did not choose to go out to work. Not long after graduation, she married Jiang Zongnan and had children. She focused on her family.

She had studied abroad herself, so she knew about this.

The Nobel Prize was one of the most valuable awards in the world. All the scientists in the world wanted to receive this award.

Everyone was proud to have won the Nobel Prize!

It was the same in the country.

It was just that for so many years, no one from Continent Y had received the honor of winning the Nobel Prize.

This was because Continent Y did not have this award. They were always at a loss once it came to high-end international technology talks.

Jiang Yao saw that her expression was changing and did not look good. He knew that his mother understood what he meant.

He said unhurriedly, “This software competition is as important as the Nobel Prize in the IT world. It’s also an award recognized by everyone. Over the years, no one in the country has won this award. They can’t even enter the group stage. This year, the competition is holding the finals in Rao City. Qiao Nian has also entered the group stage. Do you understand what I’m trying to say?”

There was only one reaction in Tang Wanru’s mind: Won’t Qiao Nian be in the limelight again?!

Jiang Yao pulled off his tie and hung it loosely around his neck. His handsome face revealed a tired expression. He put down the water bottle and turned to his mother. “So, the competition Qiao Nian is participating in is not the wild chicken competition you think it is. If she can win an award, not to mention becoming famous in Qing University, she will become a god in the domestic computer field!”

“That has nothing to do with our family. either.”

Jiang Yao thought that she was speaking out of anger. Afraid that she wouldn’t understand, he added, “Mom, do you know that there has always been a list in the IT world?”

Tang Wanru couldn’t find her voice and tried her best to control her emotions so as not to reveal too much. “…I don’t know.”

Jiang Yao did not see the frustration and uneasiness she had shown ever since she heard that Qiao Nian had won the award. He continued, “Someone has made a list based on the strength of hackers in the world. It’s called the Heaven Leaderboard. Currently, the hacker ranked first place is someone called Sun. This person’s power in the illegal district cannot be underestimated.”
