Chapter 267: Chapter 267: Seizing Victory
The teachers soon arrived in front of Liu Zheng and Li Yanling.
"How are you doing? Are you ready?"
The two exchanged glances and, naturally, nodded with smiles on their faces.
"Of course."
Truth be told, they were both quite anticipatory, curious about what sort of event would come next.
With such a matter before them, they naturally hoped to do well in every task.
"Since everyone is ready, let’s quickly go over the rules and then we can start."
The instructions were soon given, explaining exactly what was to be done.
It seemed they were to line up in order and then conduct a relay race.
Their groups were formed by each class.
At this moment, the parents who had arrived were indeed very excited.
Waiting for the teacher’s command, they immediately began to run.
It must be said, every parent was giving it their all.
Because they hoped to impress in front of their children, wishing to make them happy.
But unexpectedly, during the second leg, one of the parents in their group was running very slowly.
Everyone feared they might not make it in time.
The following runners were also always a bit slower.
Compared to the more professional parents from the other classes.
It was clear that the parents on Li Kai’s team were not particularly skilled in this area, as each ran quite slowly.
It felt like they were going to end up last.
Worrying expressions emerged on everyone’s faces, naturally not wanting to be last, but at that point, there seemed to be no solution.
Liu Zheng, however, wasn’t worried in the slightest.
Because he was ready.
Even though they were quite far behind at the moment.
He was certain he would claim victory at the fastest speed possible.
Each parent’s physical fitness was different, so their abilities varied.
To do well now was indeed difficult and troublesome.
No matter what, since things had come this far, he had to seize first place decisively.
When it came to the final leg.
The other parents were already halfway through their run.
Meanwhile, Liu Zheng had just received the baton.
At this moment, everyone had already given up, feeling certain they were going to be last, and in such a situation, a reversal seemed impossible.
"Ah, Dad is really sorry, I ran too slow just now."
"It’s mainly because I haven’t exercised much recently."
"You know your dad’s been busy and hardly has time to exercise."
Some were saying to their children.
Meanwhile, the teachers were comforting them.
"It’s okay, just being able to accompany your child is already quite an achievement, parents don’t need to feel any guilt."
But who would have thought, just at that moment, suddenly a judge spoke up.
"Congratulations to Mr. Liu for helping Class One achieve victory!"
Upon hearing this sentence, everyone turned their gaze in that direction, feeling very surprised.
Because Li Kai’s class, including parents and classmates, had already given up hope.
They had never imagined such a result.
At this moment, their eyes widened slightly, scarcely believing what they were hearing.
Those nearby who had witnessed it were also truly astonished.
They had clearly seen what had just happened.
Yet even so, they felt bewildered.
Initially, Liu Zheng had been the last one, even far behind the other parents.
Logically, he shouldn’t have been able to run that fast, nor could he have taken first place.
But unexpectedly, he had done just that.
Not only that.
Just now, in front of everyone, he dashed with incredible speed, like he was flying, straight past the finish line well ahead of the other faster parents.
As everyone came to their senses, they began to applaud, astonished by such a scene.
And now, those parents eagerly approached Liu Zheng.
They had thought themselves a bit weak, perhaps even close to losing, never expecting to be overtaken like this.
"My goodness, Mr. Liu, you are truly amazing. Have you had training in this area before? Are you a professional in this field? That was incredibly well done."
"Right, we were about to lose just now. I had no idea you would turn the tide with only one person’s strength and lead the entire class to victory."
"Yes, Mr. Liu, we are extremely grateful to you. Otherwise, I think I would have felt very sorry for my child."
...
Seeing the parents approaching and saying this, Liu Zheng merely gave them a modest smile and then replied,
"It’s nothing, truly. It’s my honor to help the children win, and I’m glad everyone is happy."
Seeing this scene, other classes’ parents were also extremely surprised.
"My goodness, who exactly is that Liu Zheng? He’s so incredible, how could he be so fast? I just saw him practically fly off."
"Right, right, I hadn’t even grasped what was happening, and he had already charged to the finish line. I feel like he was even faster than those in the official races."
"He must be a professional in this field, but from what I’ve seen in sports competitions, it seems he might even be more impressive than those professionals."
"This record seems to have been broken."
...
People started buzzing about it, and just like that, Liu Zheng became a name to reckon with there.
Mainly because they had never seen someone run so fast before, practically achieving a comeback in such a short time.
Some parents were particularly interested in this area, so for similar professional competitions, they would also participate, feeling that Liu Zheng had simply outclassed even the professionals.
Thus, faced with such a figure, they were very keen to get to know him better.
Right now, Li Kai was also exceedingly happy, having never expected Uncle Liu to possess such incredible potential.
He never imagined leading everyone to victory.
Initially, he had lost all expectation.
Mainly because they were far behind.
At this moment, he came up to him, his face lit with excitement.
