Nathalie Quinlan is not soone who is good at expressing emotions.
Her eyes were deep and contemplative for a mont, darkened slightly. She seed to just change her pose, raise her wrist, pick up the cup and put it down again, with the sa expression. But her voice was noticeably huskier than before: "Hmm, I know."
Audrick Zachmann felt slightly relieved: "It’s good that you know. Don’t overthink it. No matter what, the family supports you; you’re not alone."
"...Yeah." Nathalie Quinlan looked up again, glanced at Audrick Zachmann, as if casually, yet seriously said to him: "Brother, I have a competition in three days. If you have ti, rember to watch."
"Nathalie, what did you call ..." Audrick Zachmann didn’t wait for the girl to answer, raised his lips and showed a row of big white teeth, waving his hand first: "Never mind, don’t answer, I’m just a bit happy."
Oh!
He just clearly heard Nathalie call him brother!
Nathalie has always had a good relationship with him, but honestly, the tis she’s called him brother can be counted on his fingers.
Altogether not many tis.
And it was when they just t, when Nathalie was restraining her temperant, called him once or twice at that ti.
Audrick Zachmann’s mood suddenly improved; he didn’t want to think about the botherso matters regarding Hendrik Zachmann and Caryn Zachmann, his eyes shining brightly as he pursued: "Three days later, right?"
Nathalie Quinlan was made slightly embarrassed by him, awkwardly raising the tea cup to cover her mouth: "Yeah, in three days, there’s a software competition, I signed up for it."
"I have a magazine shoot that day, they’re shooting a front page." Audrick Zachmann didn’t even ask about the level or importance of Nathalie’s competition, directly found his phone while still chatting with Nathalie, and already ssaged his agent to free up that day.
Mr. Zachmann is just a big shot in the entertainnt circle playing around.
He accidentally beca a top star.
After sending a ssage to the company, he casually tossed the phone onto the table, nonchalantly: "Alright, I told them I’m not going."
He acted so quickly that Nathalie couldn’t even stop him, watching him operate like a tiger, her mouth twitching: "Three in the afternoon."
"Where?"
"An online competition. You can watch it on a computer. I’ll install so software for you then," Nathalie said calmly.
There is no venue for the world software competition’s preliminary round.
Only after passing the preliminary round and obtaining the group stage qualification will there be offline competitions.
The preliminary round is an online competition.
Organizers will prepare a dedicated room, with a professional computer ready inside, containing only programming software and nothing else.
Additionally, there will be specialized staff watching you to prevent you from bringing external hardware.
There will also be surveillance caras installed in the room!
Any attempt at cheating will be imdiately caught.
In short, the world software competition is a world-class competition; even if it’s just a preliminary round, whether online or offline, the standards are equally strict.
"Are you saying you’ll stream the competition on the computer?"
Audrick Zachmann is from the entertainnt circle, not the tech circle, and he was completely bewildered by what Nathalie said.
Now organizing a competition doesn’t involve setting up a venue or arranging an arena where people buy tickets to watch?
Nathalie estimated he didn’t understand the specifications of software competitions, nodded without elaborating: "Kind of. Sixteen people will compete together to select one."
Audrick Zachmann looked like he’d seen a ghost: "Selecting one out of sixteen? Geez, that’s a tough play."
