After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

Chapter 410 Ups and Downs

The next day, Xia Nian arrived at the institution on time. As soon as she entered, she found that the atmosphere was not right. The teacher kept rubbing her eyebrows. Several managers from the surrounding institutions were talking to her. When they saw Xia Nian coming, one of them patted the teacher on the shoulder and whispered, "You talk to the child."

The teacher came forward, took Xia Nian's arm and led her to her lounge, and poured her a cup of tea.

"Teacher, didn't we say we were going to take a poster photo today?" Xia Nian asked.

The teacher smiled awkwardly, rubbing his knees with his hands, and said, "Xia Nian, you...didn't you check the official website?"

Xia Nian frowned slightly. She looked at it for a while last night, but didn't open it today. After all, the award notification had been sent out.

"What's wrong?" Xia Nian said and took out his cell phone.

The teacher sighed and said, "Just watch."

When Xia Nian heard this, his slender fingers slid quickly across the screen, and finally his eyes fixed on the homepage of the official website of the competition. The first place on the original list of winners had actually been changed!

Not only that, the dance video that used to be hers in the middle of the homepage has now been replaced by someone else's.

"Teacher, what does this mean?" Xia Nian asked, "I received a notice last night. Wasn't I ranked first? How come it's someone else now?"

The teacher looked embarrassed and said, "Xia Nian, we also received a message from the organizer this morning saying that there was a mistake yesterday."

Xia Nian raised his eyebrows and turned to read the comments under the video.

[The first and third place are on the same level]

[No, this wasn't the first place last night. Why is there a change today? ]

[I watched the first video last night, it is much better than this one]

[There was a lot of noise under the competition video account, saying that the original first place was replaced by the Royal Club]

[No way, there are people who are involved in royal family in such a professional dance competition?! ]

【Money makes the world go round】

[What is she trying to achieve? Is she trying to get scolded? Many people have watched last night’s video. This is not even on the same level.]

Xia Nian's hands clenched tighter and tighter, and his fingertips began to turn white.

Many people are not professionals and only judge based on their subjective aesthetics, but they basically speak for her. After all, some of the techniques that are obvious can be seen by anyone.

What’s more, someone said last night that there was a big gap between the first and the second place, but today the first place suddenly changed and is almost at the same level as the third place. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that something is wrong.

Someone bought the championship.

Xia Nian's hand slowly dropped.

Everyone who has taken art exams knows that there are many people who pay to buy other people's rankings, but she did not expect this to happen in competitions.

"Did the organizer say that?" Xia Nian asked calmly.

The teacher saw how sad she was. She also watched the two videos and compared them. They were not at the same level at all. Xia Nian was totally unprovoked this time.

But she had no choice. The organizer had instructed the agency that it would be difficult to compete with it with their own strength.

The teacher patted Xia Nian on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, there will be another chance in the future."

Xia Nian raised his eyes and said, "They don't agree with this first place, and the organization can't do anything about it?"

The teacher shook her head silently. She had been trying to persuade the principal this morning, but he had obviously taken the money, so she had no choice but to do it.

"Xia Nian, you are still young, there will be opportunities in the future." The teacher comforted her and took out the five hundred yuan package from his pocket, "This is given to you by the institution, it's okay, let's work harder next time."

Xia Nian said: "People on the Internet are condemning it. Will anyone participate in this competition in the future?"

The teacher said helplessly: "Alas... This competition offers a lot of prize money, so there must be people who will participate. I checked the person who exchanged for a place, she has a powerful background and sponsored this competition."

"I understand." Xia Nian said, turning around to leave. The teacher took the opportunity to put the money in her pocket.

Walking on the street, Xia Nian's eyes were slightly red. She had to explain this matter to these three people. They must be sad and angry.

The main reason is that she is powerless. She is an orphan and can only suffer in silence about this kind of thing. No organization stands on her side, presumably because they have been paid.

Xia Nian was extremely tired when she thought that all her efforts for so long had gone to waste. She stood on the bridge, holding the railing tightly with both hands.

She stood there in the cold wind for half an hour when suddenly her cell phone rang. Xia Nian took a look and saw it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hey."

"Hello, is this Xia Nian? I'm really sorry about what happened today. Due to an error, your ranking was accidentally changed. Now it has been changed back. The prize money will be paid on the specified date. I'm really sorry."

The voice belonged to a middle-aged man. He seemed to be trying hard to soften his tone as he was afraid that Xia would get angry.

Xia Nian grasped the point and asked, "Does this mean that my ranking is back?"

"Yes, we are also very anxious because of this mistake," said the man.

Xia Nian's heart was beating very fast, it was like riding a roller coaster. She had been holding back her tears just now, but now she was suddenly told that her rank was back.

That means the bonus is back!

"Okay, I understand." Xia Nian said.

The man seemed to be relieved and said repeatedly: "Okay."

After the call was hung up, the young man next to the man said hesitantly: "Brother Li, is it really okay to offend the Ding family? After all, we have Mr. Ding's investment this time."

The man said angrily, "Boy, can you see clearly that ten Ding families are no match for one Xiahou family? They have already said that if you withdraw your investment, you can forget about running the business next year."

The young man touched his head and said "oh" several times.

Xia Nian knew that this matter was by no means that simple. Any mistake made by the higher-ups must be an excuse.

That person has a powerful background. Could it be that just based on the online abuses, the organizer would refuse to invest in order to restore his reputation?

Xia Nian sighed softly. No matter what, as long as what belonged to her came back, that was enough.

She opened the official website and saw that everything was back to the way it was yesterday, with tens of thousands of comments below.

[What is going on? The royal family has been defeated! ]

[It feels great that there are people who control the royal family these days. I hate people who spend money to buy rankings. They make other people's efforts meaningless. ]

[Agree, does anyone know the inside story? ]

Xia Nian saw this and clicked to read the reply below.

[I know a little bit about the Xiahou family in the capital. I won’t say much about the rest. Those who understand will understand.]

"Xiahou?" Xia Nian murmured.

This surname is quite special, but she doesn’t know anything about Xiahou in the capital and rarely pays attention to these things.

Her eyebrows suddenly twitched. This surname gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Just as she was thinking about it, a little girl came up to her and gently tapped her arm.

"Sister." She raised her hand, holding a light blue rose, "This is something my brother asked me to give you."

Xia Nian was stunned and asked subconsciously: "What?"

The little sister looked around, pointed to the place behind her, and said with a smile: "That's the brother."

Xia Nian turned her head, the autumn wind blew her long hair and blurred her vision. Xia Nian grabbed it with her hands and blinked. At the end of the bridge, under the sycamore tree, stood a boy wearing a black hat.

The two looked at each other, Xiahou Yu smiled at her, raised his hand and pointed at the flowers behind her, probably signaling her to accept them.

The little girl was very tactful and directly stuffed the flowers into Xia Nian's hand. When Xia Nian looked back, the boy was gone.
