Chapter 227 Sister? How dare you call me that!
Gu Yin was thinking of going downstairs to find Chu Yan and the others when Lu Jie looked at her and said, "You come too. We need to talk about how to teach you later."
Gu Yin paused, nodded, and obediently followed behind the three.
When the three of them went downstairs, Gu Yin saw Chu Yan sitting by the flower bed, lost in thought, his phone practically spitting fire as he spun it around!
Hearing the commotion, Chu Yan looked over and saw Gu Yin and the others coming down. He stood up, straightened his clothes, and stood at attention. After they approached, he greeted them.
"Hello, leader. Hello, principal."
"What are you doing here?" Du Zhongming asked, puzzled.
Chu Yan glanced at the others, then at Gu Yin. Seeing that she was alright, he breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "Wait for my sister to go eat."
Du Zhongming: "..." What sister? Who's your sister? Don't be ridiculous! How can you say something like that?
Gu Yin: "..." Is she getting a little impatient and acting a little abnormal?
Xie Tianhua was puzzled. Wasn't this the richest man's son? How come he and Gu Yin were siblings? Could Gu Yin be the richest man's illegitimate daughter? Oh, right? Weren't the richest man and his wife always a loving couple? No wonder Gu Yin looked familiar! So that's the reason.
Xie Tianhua was having a headache. Mrs. Yao, the wife of the richest man in Chu, had always had a good relationship with their research institute. In the past, the donations were usually handled by her. Should he tell her that the richest man in Chu might have an illegitimate daughter? Should he warn her to be careful in case the richest man in Chu transfers his assets?
No one had any idea what kind of crazy ideas were going through Xie Tianhua's mind.
Lu Jie assumed the other person was indeed Gu Yin's brother, so he smiled and said, "We have some business with Gu Yin. Since you haven't eaten either, young man, let's eat together."
“He doesn’t need it, he…” Du Zhongming hadn’t finished speaking.
Chu Yan interrupted his refusal: "Okay, thank you, leader."
Du Zhongming: "..."
Lu Jie smiled and continued walking forward.
Du Zhongming pointed at Chu Yan and then followed him.
Xie Tianhua, on the other hand, followed Chu Yan and Gu Yin with a conflicted expression.
Chu Yan: "...General Xie, aren't you going to follow?" He couldn't even talk to Gu Yin! Why was this light bulb so bright!
Xie Tianhua looked at Gu Yin, then at Chu Yan, his face full of conflict. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he exhaled it all as a breath.
Seeing his reaction, Chu Yan paused for a moment, then leaned closer and whispered, "The restroom is over there. If you're constipated, I can get you some medicine from the school clinic, okay?"
Xie Tianhua's face darkened immediately. He shook his head at him, giving him a knowing look, and quickly walked forward.
Chu Yan was completely bewildered: "What's wrong with him?"
Gu Yin suppressed a laugh: "I don't know, it might really be constipation."
Chu Yan nodded: "What's there to be embarrassed about?"
Gu Yin quickly changed the subject: "Why did you come here? Was the auditorium busy after I left?"
"No rush, we don't need you. I saw you go up there and haven't come down for a long time, so I wanted to go up and check on you, but those people in the stairwell wouldn't let me go up, so I can only wait down here."
Actually, just as he was about to force his way in, Principal Du returned and assured him that everything would be alright, which put his mind at ease, and he waited downstairs.
It wasn't that he was reckless; some schools were disgusting and filthy, with principals leading the way in sending female students away! Something like that had happened in Beijing before, so he had to be extra careful.
Gu Yin proactively explained, "They wanted to ask me about yesterday's forum hacking incident. The old man asked me to participate in the information competition, and I agreed. I should be able to talk about it later."
Chu Yan was surprised, but didn't ask any further questions; now was not the time to ask.
When the group reached the third floor, there were already many people there. When they saw Du Zhongming leading two imposing figures up, their eyes lit up. They figured that the big boss must be one of them!
Just as they were about to step forward, they saw the other person enter the private room directly, and the door quickly closed. Not only that, but there were also people guarding the outside, leaving them no chance at all.
The group looked at each other, then started chatting casually, and no one left beforehand.
In the private room, halfway through the meal, Lu Jie looked at Gu Yin and asked, "Aren't you going through the guaranteed admission route?"
Gu Yin shook her head: "I must take the college entrance examination."
Lu Jie didn't ask her why, but this made things difficult in terms of time.
"Since you have math olympiad classes, you should know that the time for provincial competitions, national competitions, summer camps, national team competitions, and international competitions conflicts with class time. What will you do then? Sometimes, international competitions even clash with the college entrance examination!"
Gu Yin was aware of this: "I know, so I'm taking advantage of this semester to finish my senior year studies. After that, I'll focus on competitions, but I'll still participate in the final exams. I know that sometimes the college entrance exam and international competitions will clash, but I have three years, right? If they clash in my senior year, I'll participate in the competition a year earlier."
Principal Du sighed: "But the list for next year has already been finalized, so you can only wait until your second year of high school. Then the competition will still be in your third year of high school. The specific time is still unclear, and I'm afraid we might run into each other."
Gu Yin blinked: "I don't need to worry about this. I just need to focus on my studies and competition knowledge. As for the rest, aren't you guys here? Besides, the list is finalized, but our school's internal competition hasn't started yet. Registration and assessment will only begin next February, and the spots will be confirmed after the exams. The provincial preliminary rounds won't start until October."
Gu Yin took a sip of water and continued, "You can't just give the spot to them because of the competition class. I think it's better to be fair and just. Let's compete head-to-head. If I lose, I'll withdraw. But if I win, and you make me withdraw, I won't do it!"
Xie Tianhua nodded: "Jiang Gao's ridiculous rules need to be changed. It can't just be an internal assessment by the competition class. Students from other classes who are interested in and talented in competitions, like Gu Yin, are not even eligible to participate. What kind of logic is that!"
Principal Du certainly knew this principle. The main reason was that students in other classes didn't have much contact with competitions. Even if one or two were interested, they couldn't outperform the students in the competition class. After several attempts, they gave up and directly gave the spots to the competition class. In any case, the spots ultimately ended up in the competition class.
"Okay, okay, I understand! I'll handle it for you! Then how about you handle it, teacher?" Principal Du looked at Lu Jie.
Lu Jie pondered for a moment, then looked at Gu Yin: "I can't stay here with you, and you can't go to Beijing either. How about this, we can keep in touch by phone or email? I'll send you the books you need to read. You can read them first, and ask me if you don't understand anything. We can have your school's IT teacher guide you at other times. Does that sound okay?"
Gu Yin can definitely do it!
"No problem! I just need the principal's permission to bring my computer!"
The principal waved his hand: "Take him, take him! There's no netting over at the dormitory building, you'll have to move to the teachers' dormitory! I'll arrange it for you later!"
After finishing the business, Gu Yin's phone rang. It was Zhang Qingqing calling, asking her to meet at the dance studio.
After Gu Yin finished speaking with everyone, she left the private room.
Chu Yan was unsure whether to leave with them or stay and keep them company.
Du Zhongming looked at him and smiled, "Classmate Chu Yan, won't you get bored staying here with us, drinking tea and chatting? Would you like to leave?"
Chu Yan, who had been hesitant, stood up upon hearing this and picked up the teapot to pour tea for the three of them.
"We're just short of someone to pour tea here, so I think it's good for me to keep him."
Du Zhongming: "..." Pretending! You're just pretending! Your heart left with your "sister" a long time ago!
"Chu Yan? Isn't he Gu Yin's older brother? Why don't they have the same surname? Did one take the mother's surname and the other the father's?" Lu Jie asked in confusion.
Du Zhongming: "..."
Xie Tianhua: "...!!!" The teacher really knows how to ask questions!
Chu Yan didn't think anything of it and explained, "We're not blood siblings, we're just adults who know each other. I'm two years older than Gu Yin, so my family makes her call me brother. She's younger than her classmates, and they're worried she'll be bullied, so they asked me to take good care of her at school."
Lu Jie understood: "Oh, I see! It seems Gu's family atmosphere is quite good!"
Xie Tianhua, who had conjured up a novel of love, hate, and revenge in his mind: "...Indeed!"
