Chapter 186 Principal: Do you want the 100,000 yuan bonus?
The English teacher is a very young female teacher, less than 30 years old. She graduated from the Foreign Languages Department of Tsinghua University. She has a very high level of grammatical attainment and she has the highest rating in the entire English group of No. 1 Middle School.
She looked at Huo Yao, and her usual sharpness and seriousness faded a lot. "Student Huo Yao, don't be too nervous. I asked you to come to my office this time mainly because I want to talk to you about something."
Huo Yao blinked and defended himself seriously: "Teacher, I'm not nervous."
The English teacher was amused by her words. He coughed and then said, "It's like this. The Education Department organized an English speaking competition. Each middle school recommended five candidates. Your English score is the best in our class, so you should..."
When Huo Yao heard about the competition, her head immediately went blank reflexively. Before the English teacher could finish speaking, she interrupted him and said, "Teacher, although I have the best English grades, my oral English is really bad."
The last time she was tricked by the principal into participating in the national knowledge competition, it wasn't over yet, and now there was an English speaking competition. She had absolutely no interest in this kind of competition with no prize money.
When the English teacher heard this, she was very surprised and said, "Really? I think your spoken English should be pretty good, otherwise the principal wouldn't have called me to report your name directly during the meeting this morning. But I thought about it and felt that I should ask for your opinion first."
Huo Yao's lips twitched fiercely, so she was almost tricked by the principal again? !
Huo Yao took a deep breath and smiled, "Teacher, the principal may have some misunderstanding about spoken English. Good English grades do not mean good spoken English. You are from a technical college, so you should know that the two cannot be confused."
Upon hearing this, the English teacher nodded in agreement, "That's true."
"So, let's leave this opportunity to other students. I'm afraid that I'll lose face for No. 1 Middle School and the principal will expel me." Huo Yao looked serious.
The principal just walked to the door of the office and was about to step in: "..."
This is too much. Is he the kind of person who doesn't distinguish right from wrong?
The English teacher caught a glimpse of the principal at the door and his expression became much more respectful: "Principal, you are here."
Huo Yao had his back to the door. When he heard this, he straightened his back, turned around, nodded, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Hello, Principal!"
There was no embarrassment at all about being caught making fun of him.
The principal looked at Huo Yao deeply, then walked in: "Why don't you want to participate in this competition?"
He didn't hear the first half of the conversation between Huo Yao and the English teacher.
Huo Yao scratched his head and said calmly, "My spoken English is too poor."
"You don't even want a scholarship of 100,000?" The principal raised his eyebrows.
Huo Yao: “…”
This is a fatal temptation.
After clearing his throat, Huo Yao turned his gaze to the English teacher: "Actually, I think my spoken English is not bad, so...sign up."
English teacher: “…”
That's not what you just said.
"Then it's decided." The principal didn't look at the stunned English teacher, but turned to Huo Yao and said, "Come with me to my office."
After saying that, he walked out.
Huo Yao nodded to the English teacher, then followed the principal.
It took the English teacher a long time to come back to his senses, and he suddenly let out a long breath.
I have never seen such a amiable principal, and I have never seen a student who can remain so calm in the face of the principal's majesty.
This is awesome!
