Hearing that it could improve the children's lives, Dean Chen was moved.
"Okay, then I can do the interview."
"Then you should rest first, and I'll make an appointment for you in a couple of days."
"Mengmeng, you're here too."
"Yes, Dean Chen, I didn't expect you to wake up as soon as I arrived."
"Okay, thank you for your thoughtfulness, Mengmeng."
That evening, Dean Chen told Wang Xinghe and Liu Qingmeng not to stay and to leave quickly. Wang Xinghe didn't want to leave, but Dean Chen was already angry, so Wang Xinghe had no choice but to go.
"Aunt Zhang, I'm leaving this to you."
"Don't worry, we will take good care of Dean Chen."
"Star, where are you going tonight?"
"I'm not going back to school yet, I'm going to Jin Gui Hua Yuan instead."
"Then I'll go too."
Are you going too?
"Yeah, I'm going to find Fourth Sister. We haven't finished the snacks we bought last time. I'm going to check on her and see if she's finished them."
"Okay, let's go then."
"Phew, I can finally relax a bit. Preparing for that competition was exhausting."
Where are you going to participate in the competition?
"This year's event will be held in Shanghai, and our school will send a teacher to go with us."
Are there many students who have signed up?
"Our school has a lot of spots; eight people are participating, and two will be selected from each grade."
"Well, you've been chosen."
"Yeah, isn't that amazing?"
"That's really impressive."
"Yeah, hehe, that's why I have to work even harder. It would be embarrassing if I didn't get a ranking. This is a national competition, a very prestigious one. A lot of business tycoons will be there, and if you perform well, they'll poach you directly."
"The most famous one is a senior from our Kyoto University. He won first place in this competition and was directly poached by the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. Now he is a professional CEO. He is very impressive."
"That's great."
"Yes, although I don't need these business owners to look up to me, I still need to prove myself."
Is this competition held every year?
"It's only once every two years. If I want to participate again next time, I'll have to wait until my junior year."
"Did you say that a teacher would lead the group?"
"Yes, we need to be accompanied by a teacher from the college. The school doesn't allow us to go on our own; it's safer to go in a group."
"That's fine too."
"Yes, that makes things easier. I've never been to Shanghai before. It's the most economically developed city in China. I've heard it's even more prosperous than Beijing."
"Then you can take pictures of me later."
"Okay, I'll go out for a stroll when I'm not competing. If I come across anything nice, I'll take pictures and send them to you."
Fourth Sister, are you back?
"Xinghe, Mengmeng? What brings you here?"
"Fourth Sister, Mengmeng came for a surprise inspection to see if you've been secretly eating snacks. Looks like you really have."
"Oh dear, Mengmeng, if I don't eat all these snacks, they'll expire. To avoid wasting them, I have no choice but to eat them all."
"Fourth Sister, you've got quite a few excuses up your sleeve. Dean Chen is awake, and Mengmeng will be sleeping here tonight."
"Sure! Hehe, Mengmeng, come on, let's play together. You want to sleep with Xinghe, right?"
"Huh? No, I don't sleep with him."
"You're an old married couple, just pretend I don't exist. Do whatever you want."
"We really didn't, Fourth Sister, don't get the wrong idea."
"Fourth Sister, I'm leaving Mengmeng in your care now. I'm going to bed."
"Alright, look at you, you've been staying up all night, you have dark circles under your eyes, go and get some rest."
Wang Xinghe went to the bedroom, washed up quickly, and lay down to sleep. He didn't know how long he slept, but when he woke up, he checked the time and found that it was already nine o'clock.
There was still class to go. He glanced at Liu Qingmeng and Su Ke'er, who had already left, and realized it was time to go to class. On his way to school, Wang Xinghe bought breakfast and then went to the classroom for class.
"Are you awake, Star?"
"We've arrived at the classroom."
"We saw you were sleeping soundly when we left, so we didn't wake you. Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
"I've been sleeping for a long time."
"Qingmeng, your teacher is out. Go see who it is," Liu Qingmeng's deskmate said, nudging her arm.
"The teacher leading the team in this competition?"
"Yes, look who it is."
When Liu Qingmeng clicked on it, she found that it was actually Su Zhilan.
"Qingmeng, what's wrong?"
"My team leader is Ms. Su. Isn't she the vice principal? Why is she participating in this competition and also serving as a team leader?"
"I... I don't know either. This seems to be the first time. Maybe the school is taking this competition very seriously. Principal Su happens to teach us statistics, so they let her lead the team?"
Before Liu Qingmeng could react, Su Zhilan sent her a message.
"Come to my office."
"Okay, Ms. Su, I'm coming right away."
Liu Qingmeng arrived at Su Zhilan's office.
"Please have a seat."
"Okay, Ms. Su, what can I do for you?"
"You saw the assignment of the team leaders, right? This time you'll be working with me."
“I saw it, Teacher Su.”
“Okay, since you’re a girl, and you’re the only girl among the eight people participating in the competition, the school is arranging for two people to share a room for the sake of funding. You’ll be staying with me, is that alright?”
"No, no problem, I can do it, Teacher Su."
"You seem very nervous. Are you afraid of me?"
"Teacher Su, I'm not nervous."
"Don't be afraid, I'm not going to eat you. Are you ready for the competition?"
"I will do my best to prepare!"
"There are still two weeks until the competition. If you don't have any classes during these two weeks, come find me and I'll help you catch up on your studies."
"No, no need, Teacher Su. You're usually quite busy, so I won't trouble you."
"I'm your team leader, and I don't want my students to participate in the competition and not win a prize. I would lose face if word got out."
"I understand, Ms. Su. I will come to find you."
"Okay, then come find me this afternoon if you're free. Send me a copy of your class schedule."
“Okay, Principal Su.” Liu Qingmeng found the class schedule and sent it to Su Zhilan.
"Okay, you have class next period, right? Go to class now."
"Thank you, Teacher Su."
"Okay, go ahead."
As soon as Liu Qingmeng left, the teachers in the office started to jeer: "Principal Su, you still have time to tutor students?"
"Yes, Principal Su, you're usually so busy, teaching classes and now tutoring students too. You must be exhausted."
"As I just said, I'm the teacher in charge. If they don't perform well, I'll be the one who loses face."
"Principal Su is indeed remarkable; he is a role model for us all."
"Alright, enough with the niceties. Get your lesson plans ready. I have a meeting to attend, so I'm off."
