Chapter 426: That Person Is Me
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After a night of tossing and turning, for the sake of money and his future, Wei Long decided to take a big gamble and agree to Gao Hua’s request the next time they met.
Early the next morning, a cheerful song sounded on the campus of the Capital University. All the students had received the notice that they would gather on the field after breakfast to hold a celebration of the national university competition.
In name, it was a celebration, but in fact, it was to give each participant some prizes. Naturally, the prizes for the participants in the semi-finals and finals would be even more generous.
There was one more thing that Zhang Huang had to personally explain. It was his idea to change the finalist in the mathematics finals. Lin Xiao’s departure and Shan Yue’s appearance on stage were arranged by him. It had nothing to do with the contestants themselves.
According to the past, Capital University had also won the championship under Lin Xiao’s lead last year, but there had never been such a celebration at that time. However, for the sake of Shan Yue and Lin Xiao’s reputation, Zhang Huang had no choice but to add this event this year.
However, every time Zhang Huang thought that Shan Yue was the “math genius” he had been looking for, this news made him far happier than the Capital University’s successive championships. Therefore, all his worries were thrown to the back of his mind.
Before long, the students took their seats one after another.
Zhang Huang did not want to delay everyone’s class time and quickly began the award ceremony.
First, he arranged for all the participants to go on stage in their respective units. Zhang Huang and the school leaders took photos with them one by one.
As for the contestants participating in the finals, they would hold a separate segment to reward them. Some vice-principals would go on stage to speak, set new goals for the future, and encourage the freshmen.
Just as everyone thought that the celebration would end like this, some meticulous people realized that Shan Yue and Lin Xiao were not on the stage.
It was not until the last two of them slowly walked up to the stage that Zhang Huang took the microphone. “I believe everyone has seen the live broadcast of this National High School Competition. In the finals of the Mathematics Team, Lin Xiao disappeared from the venue. In the end, Student Shan Yue went on stage to replace him.”
Zhang Huang stood between the two of them and raised the microphone again. “At that time, many students had a huge misunderstanding about Lin Xiao and Shan Yue, thinking that there was some unspeakable secret. Actually, 1 arranged all of this. The two of them were just following my instructions.”
After hearing Zhang Huang’s words, the discussion below the stage immediately swept over like a mountain flood.
“I was wondering why Senior Brother Lin Xiao disappeared without a trace back then. He has never been someone who would run away at the last minute. 1 almost misunderstood Senior Brother.”
“Principal, what’s going on? 1 don’t understand.”
“I can understand why you changed people. Logically speaking, you should have let the deputy team leader compete. Why did you choose Shan Yue to go on stage?”
? ?
Everyone discussed spiritedly. Zhang Huang clearly heard many different opinions.
“Everyone, don’t think too much. The reason why we didn’t let the deputy team leader go on stage but let Shan Yue participate in the finals is also my order. Whether it’s the teacher or them, they can’t disobey it.”
Zhang Huang’s tone was neither fast nor slow, and it even revealed an irresistible pressure. “Because we discovered a long time ago that not only did Shan Yue have outstanding chemistry results, but she also has extraordinary talent in mathematics. Therefore, I took this opportunity to let her go on stage and perform well. Shan Yue didn’t disappoint and successfully won the championship.”
At this moment, some students below the stage even stood up and asked, “Principal, it’s not that 1 don’t believe you. Shan Yue only started writing in the last 30 seconds of the competition, but she scored full marks. Even the most talented person can’t do this.”
Shan Yue had long expected this scene. Whether it was the students’ sincere doubts or Tang Hui and Xu Lu looking for trouble to embarrass her, she did not care about such a small scene at all.
“To be honest, extreme mathematical talent doesn’t need to be tested.”
Shan Yue walked to Zhang Huang’s side and took the microphone from him. She raised her head and faced everyone below the stage. “This summer, Senior Lin Xiao posted a math question online. It stumped many people and even reached a point where no one could do it. In the end, an anonymous stranger answered the correct answer, and that person was me..”
