354 Waiting for Good News
Zhang Huang walked up to the podium in formal clothes. The voice that was amplified through the microphone echoed in the entire auditorium, emitting a strong aura. His loud voice seemed to be giving everyone strength.
Whether it was for the honor of the school or to add a heavy stroke to their files, all the students were fully prepared. They maintained their glowing faces below the stage and waited solemnly.
“Dear students, you are all elites selected by the Capital University. Tomorrow, you will not only represent yourselves, but you will also represent the school to participate in the competition. Everyone’s words and actions concern the reputation of the entire school.”
Every student’s emotions were stirred by Zhang Huang’s impassioned speech, as if they had endless strength.
Shan Yue was naturally a member of the audience. From Zhang Huang’s impromptu meeting and his reaction, it was enough to prove how important this competition was to him. At the same time, it also confirmed what Lin Xiao had once said to her.
“To be honest, the title of the number one university in the Federation has been my only wish for teaching since I entered my later years. Now, my wish is in everyone’s hands.”
It was obvious that Zhang Huang’s words were deliberately said for Shan Yue to hear. He only wanted her to remember them firmly. As long as he could prove her identity, it would not be in vain for him to do so much for this plan.
As thunderous applause sounded below the stage, Zhang Huang walked off the stage under pairs of respectful gazes. Immediately after, the directors of every department went on stage to give their speeches. The afternoon passed under repeated encouragement.
As the competition the next day would not be held in school, everyone had to go to the public competition venue. Therefore, the teachers ended the mobilization meeting as soon as possible and let the students go back and rest early. After all, they still had to wake up early the next day.
Tang Hui and Xu Lu, who did not have to participate in the competition, were destined to not be able to sleep tonight. They still had to wait for the good news that Shan Yue had made a fool of herself. Often, their happiness was built on the pain of others.
It was almost ten o’clock when Shan Yue looked at her watch and got out of bed to change to meet the person on the other end of the message.
“Shan Yue, are you going out? But there’s no one outside.” Yu Xin’s tone was filled with concern. “It’s almost ten o’clock. If you’re any later, it’ll be the curfew.”
Shan Yue waved her hand and a faint smile appeared on her lips. “It’s fine. You don’t have to worry about me. I just feel bored staying in the dormitory. I went out to take a breath of fresh air and will be back after taking a walk.”
“Then you have to come back early.” Yu Xin frowned. “You still have to participate in the National High School Competition tomorrow. You’re the only freshman who’s participating. You have to wake up after six. You have to rest early tonight.”
At the side, Tang Hui’s expression did not change at all, as if she was indifferent to all of this. This was because everything that was about to happen was within her original plan. If Shan Yue did not go out at this time, it would be out of her expectations.
Tang Hui, who was feeling smug, watched as Shan Yue walked into the trap she had designed step by step and smiled as if she had already won.
However, she was very dissatisfied with Yu Xin’s words. “Yu Xin, are you Shan Yue’s mother? Or is she a three-year-old child? Do you have to care so much about her?”
“How can you say that? It’s not safe for a girl to go out alone at this time of night. It’s not just her. If it were anyone else in the dormitory, I would have said the same thing.”
“She’s just going out for a walk. Why do you care so much? Those who don’t know might think that Shan Yue is going to the battlefield.” Tang Hui’s words were filled with mockery. “Besides, she’s the boss of a large company. Does a small fry like you need to care? There’s people like President Zhou and Young Master Zhang who’re queuing up to say something good.”
Before Yu Xin would retort again, Shan Yue’s gaze was already on Tang Hui. There was no fierceness in her eyes. Instead, she appeared extremely relaxed, so relaxed that it was a little terrifying.
