Chapter 340 - 340 A Big Bet

340 A Big Bet

“Don’t take yourself too seriously. They let you win at your house, but no one let you win at school.” Shan Yue’s words were filled with disdain. “Not to mention you, even if Tang Li stood here today, I would still beat her up. She didn’t teach you well, so I’ll teach you how to be a person on her behalf.”

“You’re such a—”

Before Tang Hui could finish speaking, another slap landed on the other side of her face. This time, it was relatively red and swollen, looking very symmetrical.

“These two slaps are to teach you to be polite to people.” Shan Yue crossed her fingers and flexed her wrists. “If I hear any disrespectful words from your mouth again, I’ll slap you until you don’t dare to say them.”

!!

Shan Yue looked at Tang Hui with a terrifying gaze. Her aura instantly swept out, suppressing Tang Hui until she could not say a word. Tang Hui, who had no social experience, was naturally so frightened that she did not dare to move. She stood there in a daze for a while and ran out crying.

Seeing this, Lin Miao hurriedly chased after her, worried that Tang Hui would do something stupid. However, Lin Miao’s worry was unnecessary.

Just as the argument ended, Lin Xiao arrived at the door of Zhang Huang’s office.

Zhang Huang went straight to the point. “I know why you came to look for me today. You’re the leader of the math team, so you naturally have the right to know. That’s right, it was indeed my decision to transfer Shan Yue from the chemistry team to your team.”

“Why do you have to do this, Principal?”

Lin Xiao’s eyes were filled with confusion. “Shan Yue scored full marks in the Chemistry Olympiad. If you let her fight as the chemistry representative and I’m in charge of mathematics, we’ll definitely be able to win the championship again this year. Isn’t continuing to be the number one university in Federal City your pursuit all these years?”

“Lin Xiao, what you said is indeed true, but pursuit is ultimately just pursuit. It’s my personal wish. I still have to make concessions in front of something more important to the school.”

Zhang Huang let out a very kind laugh and slowly stood up. “I naturally have my own intentions for transferring Shan Yue to you. If this competition can confirm my thoughts, I’ll know who should be the candidates for the quadrennial international competition.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao naturally understood the importance of this matter. The international competition was only held once every four years, and it happened to be the fourth year next year.

The entire Federation Congress chose a representative to compete in as many as dozens of events with contestants from other countries. It included both intelligence testing and physical strength testing. The requirements for the candidate were very strict.

However, Lin Xiao still stabilized his emotions. He knew that Zhang Huang’s decision would definitely not be for no reason. “What do you think? Shan Yue has indeed displayed unparalleled talent in chemistry, but in mathematics…”

“I know what you want to say. You’re right. This is indeed a huge gamble. I just bet on the title of the number one university in Federal City. If I lose the gamble and cut off this thought in my heart, I won’t regret it.”

Lin Xiao had been here for at least two years, but he had never seen Zhang Huang so impulsive. “Principal, what kind of gamble are you referring to? In my impression, you’ve always been a meticulous and calm person. It’s the opposite of what you’re doing today.”

Zhang Huang’s tone gradually became serious. “Do you still remember the question you posted online during the summer vacation? No matter how many people tried, they couldn’t get the correct answer. In the end, an anonymous person solved it.”

“Of course I remember. That question also gave me a lot of inspiration.” Lin Xiao thought for two seconds, and his expression changed. He suddenly looked up. “Do you mean that Shan Yue is the anonymous person who solved that question?”

“That’s right. I have this idea, but it’s only at the stage of speculation, so I have to prove it through practice.”

Lin Xiao revealed a look of disbelief and couldn’t help but mutter, “How is this possible? It’s already very surprising that she has such achievements in chemistry at such a young age. How can she have such shocking talent in mathematics?”

“But that’s often the truth. The heavens are unfair. I once asked Zhou Xuan to investigate. That anonymous person was in S City. Shan Yue’s high school was in S City.”
