Chapter 168: Chapter 115: A Figure Like This! Let’s Make a Bet

Just then, He Rou hurried over to Chu Heng. "Chu, they said you’re urgently looking for the person who solved the Bamboo Maze. Who are they?"

Zhang Lin recognized the girl. She was from the first group to challenge the Bamboo Maze and the first person to clear its first stage.

"You know who he is?" Chu Heng asked subconsciously.

’How could I not be anxious?’

This was a filming incident.

If this had been a private shoot, it would have been easy to handle. But with so many tourists around, he had to find the person as soon as possible, negotiate a deal, and turn them into an external expert for their show, *Super Brain*.

He Rou quickly explained, "His name is Sun Xuan. I just mentioned the Bamboo Maze to him, and who knew he’d get interested. He even asked me for the path data we worked out for the first three stages. Oh, right, he’s a winner of the Long Science Institute’s Bgavt Young Dragon Award."

"Holy shit!" Chu Heng blurted out when he heard this. The ugly look on his face vanished instantly.

"The Long Science Institute’s Bgavt Young Dragon Award?" Zhang Lin knew of the Long Science Institute; it was the nation’s highest research institution.

But he had no idea what this Bgavt Young Dragon Award was.

Chu Heng immediately smiled and asked, "Boss Zhang, you know that math genius, Wei Shen, right?"

"Yes," Zhang Lin nodded.

He had scrolled past posts about this math genius online. It seemed he had made a major breakthrough in fluid dynamics.

In other words, the guy was a total beast.

But Chu Heng immediately continued, "Well, using Wei Shen as a benchmark—someone as brilliant as him isn’t even qualified for the Long Science Institute’s Bgavt Young Dragon Award. His field of research isn’t deep enough, not significant enough. In other words, every single winner of the Bgavt Young Dragon Award is even more incredible than Wei Shen."

"Holy shit!" This time, Zhang Lin couldn’t help but exclaim.

’What has my Bamboo Maze done to deserve attracting such a figure?’

This was the kind of person who shouldered the scientific backbone of the entire nation.

Even Chu Heng was emotional. "Boss Zhang, I have to say, your Bamboo Maze is truly incredible. It even interested a person like that, who came to challenge it in person."

Wasn’t it the truth? In the eyes of people like that, things like mazes and puzzles—as long as they were man-made—were no different from children playing house.

And yet, Li Yuan Farm’s Bamboo Maze had actually managed to attract him.

Lin Muxue ran over and reported, "President Zhang, we have a situation. The tourist who passed through the Bamboo Maze doesn’t want the one million yuan prize. He said we should donate it. He also refused to be filmed, and... he’s already left!"

At these words, Zhang Lin and Chu Heng exchanged a look.

Neither of them was a fool. Under normal circumstances, appearing on camera wouldn’t be a problem. Refusing to be filmed definitely meant there was a special reason, possibly related to some important research.

Thinking this, he quickly said to Lin Muxue, "The person has a special status, so let’s just drop it. But since he donated the one million, you can post a video asking netizens to decide which organization to donate it to. That way, no one can accuse us of handling it internally."

"Okay," Lin Muxue nodded.

Hearing this, Chu Heng’s face was full of bitterness. He had been hoping to negotiate a deal with the man and have him film a segment for *Super Brain* to save some face. Now, that was completely impossible.

’I’m afraid this is going to become another black mark on *Super Brain*’s record.’

Just then, Lin Muxue received another phone call. After hearing the report from the other end, she frowned and said, "President Zhang, that contestant from *Super Brain*, Guan Hong, is causing a scene at the emergency exit. He’s saying we, Li Yuan Farm, cheated and gave the tourist who passed the complete route map!"

Hearing this, Zhang Lin looked at Chu Heng with a faint smile. "Mr. Chu, it seems your contestant is a bit of a sore loser."

Chu Heng’s face was full of embarrassment. He immediately promised, "Don’t worry, President Zhang, I’ll go handle it right now!"

With that, he hurried off.

Their show still needed to cooperate with Li Yuan Farm, after all.

Zhang Lin shook his head as he watched.

A classic sore loser. Guan Hong might be the annual champion of *Super Brain*, but a reality show that follows a script is bound to have a champion whose title is a bit watered-down. It seems this guy doesn’t understand that there’s always someone better out there.

The Bamboo Maze at Li Yuan Farm had always been a huge attraction and a must-play activity for visitors.

A saying even circulated online: "Before entering the Li Yuan Farm Bamboo Maze: ’I can do this!’ After entering the Bamboo Maze: ’I can do jack shit!’"

Besides, no one had yet claimed the prize money from Li Yuan Farm’s event.

With the prize money from three parties combined, the first person to clear it would get a full million, but no one had managed to claim it. Even the contestants from *Super Brain* were helpless.

So, when someone finally conquered the Li Yuan Farm Bamboo Maze—and it was a random tourist picked by *Super Brain*, who then effortlessly crushed a contestant like Guan Hong—everyone found it incredible.

What kind of "hidden master among the people" script was this?

At first, some people suspected it was a publicity stunt or that Li Yuan Farm was trying to rig the one million yuan prize. However, those doubts were dispelled when they saw Li Yuan Farm asking netizens to vote on which organization to donate the money to.

...

In the afternoon, after lunch and a short rest, Zhang Lin received a call from an unknown number. He answered, and a pleasant female voice came through: "President Zhang, my name is Zhong Miaoying. My dad told me to come find you. I’ve arrived at the administration center."

Zhang Lin was taken aback for a moment, then realized who she was. He spoke into the phone, "Okay, I’m in my office. You can come straight in."

After hanging up, he understood.

’So that Director Zhong was arranging a position for his daughter.’
