"Betting on Chen Feng to win? Mayor Qin, isn't that just losing money?"
The secretary said with a difficult expression.
"Ninety percent chance of losing money, but I still want to bet. Because there's still a ten percent chance of making money. Chen Feng is a record-breaker, and I believe in him, and I want to support him spiritually."
Qin Yan said with conviction.
The secretary remained silent.
Although she also hoped Chen Feng would win, facts were facts and would not change.
This time, if they could bet on Chen Feng losing, they would make a fortune.
No one would go against money.
So, after leaving Qin Yan's office, the secretary immediately bet on Chen Feng to lose.
She bet all her assets!
Time passed quickly, a week was soon over.
The Capital Stadium was packed, even more so than a football match.
Mobile live streams were abundant, and flashes of light were everywhere.
Cheng Lu was intimidated by the sheer scale of the event and almost turned to leave several times.
Being embarrassed wasn't frightening; what was frightening was being embarrassed in front of so many people.
"Xiao Lu, what's wrong? Scared?"
Chen Feng asked with a calm smile.
"Yes, Chen Feng, the scale of this event is too grand, I'm truly a little scared. How about we just call it quits? If we lose the debate, we'll be disgraced all over China."
Cheng Lu whispered.
"Don't worry, we won't lose. Didn't I tell you about the benefits of Chinese programming last week? Based on these benefits, I can easily refute the Harvard University debate team."
Chen Feng continued to reassure Cheng Lu with a calm smile.
"Chen Feng, I've thought about it carefully. The gap between Capital University and Harvard University is quite significant, it feels like trying to smash a rock with an egg."
Cheng Lu said softly.
"Xiao Lu, it's normal for you to have this thought. Most people lack confidence when facing the strong. America is indeed very strong globally. However, you need to understand one thing: present-day China is also very strong. What America can do, China can also do. We cannot view America from an African perspective. If nothing else, America can build atomic bombs, and China can also build atomic bombs. America can land on the moon, and we can also land on the moon... Similarly, if Harvard University can debate with high spirits, we can also debate with high spirits."
Chen Feng said earnestly.
"The logic is sound, but aren't the Wang brothers going too far? Isn't it a knockout system for the group stage? Why is Capital University facing Harvard University right from the start?"
Cheng Lu asked dejectedly.
"It is a bit excessive, but it doesn't matter. Whether it's early or late, it's still a competition."
Chen Feng smiled calmly.
"Chen Feng, we're about to go on stage. I'll ask you one last question: are you really confident about winning the debate against the Harvard University debate team?"
Cheng Lu asked with anticipation.
"Trust your man."
Chen Feng replied decisively.
Cheng Lu stopped asking. Chen Feng exuded an aura of confidence, making further questioning unnecessary.
After half an hour of rest, the debate officially began.
Chen Feng walked onto the stage with a laptop. Cheng Lu asked softly.
"Do we need a laptop for the debate?"
"General debate matches don't, but this is a programming language debate, so a laptop is definitely needed. I'm going to use Chinese programming to show the Harvard University debate team. Facts are the best arguments."
Chen Feng said confidently.
"Can Chinese be used for programming now?"
Cheng Lu was stunned.
In her impression, programming had always used English, never Chinese.
"Chinese programming has existed for a long time, it's just not widely adopted yet. In this regard, I deeply admire Huawei's vision; the Chinese programming platform was created by Huawei. Huawei represents a spirit, a spirit of not fearing America."
Chen Feng said with admiration.
"But, Chen Feng, you've never used Chinese programming before, can you do it on short notice?"
Cheng Lu asked tentatively.
"Last week, besides watching debate match recordings, I also spent time learning Chinese programming. In fact, the core thinking behind Chinese programming is similar to English programming, only the language is different, so it's not that difficult."
Chen Feng replied calmly.
A stone in Cheng Lu's heart was finally lifted.
In the audience, Wang Zihao and Wang Zishan also came to watch the debate. Not only were they there, but they had also invited several internet celebrities. Their sole purpose was to ensure that the embarrassing moment of Chen Feng was known to everyone in China.
"Zishan, I'm very satisfied with your work this time. The Harvard University debate team is very strong. It's not just that Chen Feng can't win the debate; even a force as large as the Wang family couldn't win against them."
Wang Zihao said excitedly.
"Brother, to be honest, we spent a lot of money to ensure this competition was foolproof. Others might think spending so much money for a mere deputy town mayor is not worth it. Actually, it is very worth it. We want to show all Chinese people a principle: no matter who it is, if they make the Capital Wang family unhappy, they're in big trouble."
Wang Zishan also said excitedly.
"That's exactly the point. A thousand pieces of gold can't buy Grandpa's happiness. The Capital Wang family, if they don't have much else, they have plenty of power and money."
Wang Zihao smiled knowingly.
As they talked, the debate began.
All eyes were focused on the Capital University debate team and the Harvard University debate team.
The audience had no interest in watching other debate teams.
Both the Capital University debate team and the Harvard University debate team were world-class.
The collision of these two debate powerhouses and the sparks they would create were highly anticipated.
Harvard University struck first, delivering a lengthy English speech about the benefits of English programming.
To make things difficult for the Capital University debate team, the Harvard University debate team deliberately debated in Old English.
This left everyone present bewildered.
English was already difficult to understand, and then to add Old English, it became even more incomprehensible.
Since the Capital University debate team couldn't understand Old English, it meant that Capital University had lost the debate against Harvard University from the very beginning.
Since Capital University had lost, they could end the bet early and happily collect their winnings.
Cheng Lu, who was serving as the scribe, felt her heart turn cold.
The Harvard University debate team was too despicable, resorting to such a dirty trick.
"Chen Feng, what do we do now?"
Cheng Lu whispered to Chen Feng.
"What else can we do? Counter-attack!"
Chen Feng replied with a calm smile.
"Counter-attack? How can we counter-attack if we don't understand the language?"
Cheng Lu asked dejectedly.
"Who said we don't understand the language? Xiao Lu, don't worry, my English is decent. I'm not only proficient in modern English, but I'm also skilled in Old English."
Chen Feng reassured Cheng Lu.
"I studied English at Capital University for four years, and I still don't understand Old English at all. How did you learn Old English?"
Cheng Lu asked with curiosity.
"Interest. I'm very interested in linguistic things, so I learned Old English and Japanese very quickly. Alright, enough talk, I need to fiercely counter the Harvard University debate team."
After speaking, Chen Feng no longer paid attention to Cheng Lu and directly engaged in a sharp debate with the Harvard University debate team opposite him.
The moment Chen Feng spoke, his fluent Old English stunned everyone present.
"Holy cow, a Chinese person speaking Old English even better than the British! This is going to be incredibly awesome!"
The Harvard University debate team was also deeply shocked.
In order to reverse the passive situation and defeat Chen Feng, the Harvard University debate team immediately called up their ace from the reserve team to the stage…
