Nan Yan stood on the platform, feeling somewhat speechless.
She shot a cool glance at Yu Xiwen, who was standing to the side, before accepting the microphone with an expressionless face.
Yu Xiwen led the applause to start the proceedings.
Nan Yan raised an eyebrow lazily and placed a finger to her lips.
She didn’t utter a sound, but the applause ceased by unspoken agreement.
“Since our newly appointed principal has asked me to say a few words, I’ll do just that,” Nan Yan began.
“In a little over ten days, we’ll be facing our final exams. I hope everyone will focus on their studies and not let their minds wander elsewhere. Especially for the students of Class 4, if you don’t meet the standard in the final exams, I’ll arrange special supplementary classes for you during the summer break.”
Class 4 collectively responded with “? ? ?”
It was like a bolt from the blue, totally unexpected!
Why did the principal have to issue such an ultimatum during the flag-raising ceremony?
In an instant, the students of Class 4 felt an extraordinary amount of pressure.
In the remaining days, they might have to go all out to avoid special supplementary classes.
Their homeroom teacher couldn’t help but struggle to contain his laughter.
It seemed that having Nan Yan manage these students was far more effective than he ever could be!
With her clear and cold tone, Nan Yan finished her two sentences and handed the microphone back to Yu Xiwen.
Yu Xiwen coughed and said, “Nan Yan’s speech was well said. As students, your main focus should indeed be on your studies. Alright, today’s flag-raising ceremony ends here. You may all disperse…”
After turning off the microphone, Yu Xiwen stopped Nan Yan, who was heading down. “Nan Yan, come to my office with me.”
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment, nodded to him, and went to the principal’s office with him.
Yu Xiwen had recently taken up his new position as principal. Although the office had moved to the current principal’s office, the layout was still the same as when the former principal was in charge.
Once inside, Yu Xiwen subtly furrowed his brows and then gestured for Nan Yan to sit casually.
In the future, he would have someone tidy up the office.
All these cluttered and unnecessary items had to be removed.
An office should be neat and clean, with no room for enjoying unnecessary things.
With a serious expression, Yu Xiwen found a teapot from the pile of clutter and, after cleaning it, brewed a pot of high-quality Da Hong Pao tea. He then brought it over and poured a cup for both himself and Nan Yan.
Nan Yan lazily propped her head up and asked, “Teacher, did you call me to the office just for tea?”
“No,” Yu Xiwen sighed, then got up and retrieved a document from his desk drawer. “Nan Yan, take a look at this.”
“What is it?” Nan Yan wondered as she took the document.
Once she saw the cover, her expression turned somewhat speechless. The document instructed her, as a representative of Zhide High School students, to participate in an academic exchange program in M Country during the summer break and secure a spot for an exchange in a renowned laboratory in M Country.
Seeing her reaction, Yu Xiwen said, “Nan Yan, I don’t know why they assigned you this task, but if you find it difficult, you can decline, and I’ll reject it on your behalf.”
“It’s alright; I’ll accept it. It just so happens that I’ll be going to M Country during the summer break.”
Nan Yan calmly opened the document and read through it page by page. Finally, at the end of the document, she signed her name.
Yu Xiwen took the signed document from Nan Yan, reviewed it once more, and then solemnly put it away.
Although he didn’t quite understand why they wanted a high school sophomore to participate in a university exchange program in M Country, he had some insight considering Nan Yan’s seemingly limitless abilities. It was likely that her unique skills played a role in the decision from higher-ups.
After having two cups of tea in the principal’s office, Nan Yan checked the time and got up to return to her classroom.
Upon entering Class 4, she was greeted with a chorus of protests:
“Boss, please lower the bar!”
“Can’t we promise to study harder without attending the supplementary classes?”
Although they didn’t know what kind of supplementary classes Nan Yan had in mind, they simply didn’t want them. They cherished their hard-earned vacation and wanted to relax. “Boss, this is like a death sentence!”
“Please, have mercy! ”
Nan Yan raised an eyebrow and said in a soft tone, “It seems my demands were a bit too low if you still have the leisure to negotiate with me.”
The classroom, which was initially filled with chatter, fell silent in an instant.
The students in the class quickly picked up their respective books and started reading attentively.
Nan Yan glanced around before sitting at her desk and took out her phone.
Starting from yesterday, she had been sending messages to Qin Lu, but he hadn’t replied. She even called him in the morning, but it said he was out of the service area.
Nan Yan couldn’t help but feel worried about Qin Lu. Even though she knew how strong he was, she couldn’t control her concern. So where did he go? The fact that his phone had no signal and couldn’t be reached was concerning.
Nan Yan looked at the messages she had sent, still unanswered, and her expression grew slightly serious. She sighed softly and decided to try contacting him again in a few hours.
In the afternoon, outside Zhide High School, Shen Junqing and Bai Chen were both waiting for Nan Yan. They didn’t know each other, so they had no idea that they were waiting for the same person.
Before long, Nan Yan walked out of the school gate with her backpack and a lollipop in her mouth. Shen Junqing and Bai Chen simultaneously waved to her.
“Hey there, sis, over here!” Shen Junqing called out.
“Little Yanyan, I’m here,” Bai Chen added.
After waving back, Nan Yan approached them.
Shen Junqing and Bai Chen looked at each other in confusion.
Shen Junqing:
Bai Chen:
Both of them were thinking: Who is this?
Nan Yan: ‘
This scene seemed somewhat familiar to her. The last time there was a
showdown, it was between Shen Junqing and Qin Lu. This time, it had switched to Shen Junqing and Bai Chen…
She expressionlessly bit off the lollipop in her mouth, then walked over to them.
Bai Chen affectionately put his hand on Nan Yan’s shoulder, looking somewhat protective, and asked with a hint of hostility, “Little Yanyan, who is this?”
“Yanyan, who is he?” Shen Junqing’s captivating eyes were serious, devoid of his usual carefree demeanor.
He understood that he couldn’t compete with Qin Lu in Nan Yan’s heart, but he could tolerate that. However, if a new man appeared with a higher status, he couldn’t tolerate it!
Bai Chen’s words, coupled with his tone, directly provoked Shen Junqing.
Nan Yan: ‘
She raised her hand to rub her forehead and said softly, “Let’s not block the school gate. It’s affecting other students trying to leave. Get in the car first, and we can find a place to talk.”
As her words fell, Bai Chen chuckled and asked, “So, Little Yanyan, whose car are you riding in?”
Nan Yan: ‘
