Chapter 177 - 177 Principal Waiting at the Door
177 Principal Waiting at the Door
In the morning, in the hotel restaurant, under Tian Wenming’s organization, everyone gathered for breakfast.
“Today is the finals of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. The process of this competition is exactly the same as the preliminaries.” Tian Wenming explained the situation today as he ate.
“In the morning, it’s the theory test.”
“In the afternoon, it’s the hands-on programming test.”
“Everyone can see Li Chengqian’s standard. To be able to develop the operating system, Li Chengqian’s standard is definitely at the academician level.”
“I won’t say much about him. I think as long as he performs normally, he should have no problem winning the national championship.”
As he spoke, Tian Wenming’s chubby face was filled with smiles.
He couldn’t maintain his deadpan serious look in front of Li Chengqian at all.
Although Tian Wenming had not taught Li Chengqian programming at all, and for that matter, he wasn’t good enough to teach Li Chengqian programming at all.
But he was Li Chengqian’s instructor after all!
Just this alone benefited Tian Wenming in many ways.
Ten teachers will be named Outstanding Teacher of the Year in Jinshan Province this year. Because of Li Chengqian, he had already clinched one of the spots.
His job grade was also promoted to senior level because he had nurtured a super genius like Li Chengqian. His monthly salary suddenly increased by more than 1,500 yuan.
In fact, Principal Wang had already spoken to him about his position once. The next step was to promote him and make him a department head.
Wang Jianjia was Li Chengqian’s form teacher. This time, because of Li Chengqian, Principal Wang had already started preparing to make her the vice principal.
Now, all the teachers in Grade 12 Class 5 had obtained real benefits because of Li Chengqian. Then, they became the envy of the other teachers.
In reality, when he knew that Li Chengqian was going to continue participating in the competition, Tian Wenming was shocked. He was very shocked. Then, he was overjoyed!
Because, with Li Chengqian’s standard, if he participated in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition, the champion would definitely be him!
He wasn’t the only one who felt this way, everyone else felt the same way too.
This championship was definitely Li Chengqian’s!
If he were in Li Chengqian’s shoes, he would definitely not continue to participate in this competition. It was simply a waste of time.
The prize money for the championship was only 100,000 yuan. To others, 100,000 yuan might be a lot, but to Li Chengqian, who owned the Divine Dragon Software Company, 100,000 yuan was nothing. He didn’t care at all.
Another reward was direct admission to the Divine Dragon University without having to take a test.
This reward was also very attractive to others. Many people even worked hard to learn programming so as to participate in programming competitions, with the end goal of entering Divine Dragon University in mind.
This was because the best universities in the Divine Dragon Country, such as the University of Science, Divine Dragon University, and Shuimu University, had already sent invitations for their master’s degree to Tianyi High School.
Now, it was no longer the school choosing students, but Li Chengqian choosing the school.
It could even be said that as long as Li Chengqian chose that school, the school’s reputation would rise greatly because of Li Chengqian’s choice!
Then, Tian Wenming turned to He Hongyun and the other two. The smile on his face disappeared and he became serious again.
After his expression returned to being serious, Tian Wenming felt much better. After all, he was already used to having a serious expression. He was not used to maintaining a smile on his face.
“He Hongyun, don’t be nervous during the exam. Work hard and strive to obtain a good result.”
“Don’t feel any pressure! Just do your best!”
“As long as you guys perform normally, I think there’s still hope for the top 50.”
“Alright, Teacher! I’ll definitely work hard,” He Hongyun said softly with a humble attitude.
He Hongyun’s attitude made Li Chengqian feel very surprised.
Last time, during the preliminary round in Tianbao City, He Hongyun was very arrogant. He was arrogant and acted high and mighty, as if he was the number one in the world. Moreover, he looked down on others, especially Li Chengqian. He was extremely sarcastic and mocking.
Even after the competition, when Li Chengqian won first place in the preliminary round, he was still very arrogant.
Tian Wenming asked He Hongyun to apologize to Li Chengqian. Until now, He Hongyun had not done so.
Bi Jialiang had not spoken since he saw Li Chengqian. He ate quietly and kept a low profile.
Even Jian Qingli was the same. She was expressionless and lowered her head to eat. However, she would inadvertently glance at Li Chengqian, her eyes carrying very strange emotions.
“Alright, it’s about time. Let’s go to the competition hall.” Looking at the time, Tian Wenming took the lead and stood up, walking towards the competition hall.
The venue for this competition was in Divine Dragon University, and the hotel where Li Chengqian and the others were staying was not far from Divine Dragon University.
“Jian Qingli, are you feeling unwell?” Bi Jialiang’s mind had always been on Jian Qingli. He asked with concern when he saw Jian Qingli frowning as she walked.
“I’m fine.” Jian Qingli shook her head. Her voice was cold and deliberately distant.
Jian Qingli cursed in her heart. “Li Chengqian is a cow and a ferocious beast. He is not chivalrous at all.”
Li Chengqian’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that. He felt a little guilty. He naturally knew what was going on. He must have been too rough on Jian Qingli the night before, such that she was not feeling well now.
After his bodily instincts subsided, Li Chengqian realized that what he did the night before was actually very inappropriate.
Although it was exciting to be two-timing, there was a possibility of being exposed at any time.
However, judging from Jian Qingli’s performance today, she had indeed kept her word.
Not to affect him, not to pester him, and not to bother him.
On the other side, at the entrance of Divine Dragon University, Principal Wu was looking forward to Li Chengqian’s arrival.
Not only was Principal Wu here, but most of the members of the organizing committee of the Junior Informatics Programming Competition had also arrived. This was because the organizing committee of the finals were basically teachers from the Information Engineering School of Divine Dragon University.
Dean Chen of the Divine Dragon University’s Information Engineering School also followed behind Principal Wu.
He wanted to use this rare opportunity to talk directly to Li Chengqian and persuade him to study at Divine Dragon University.
This was because they had recently heard some news that Li Chengqian was very close to the Academy of Sciences. There was a very high possibility that he would study at the Academy of Sciences.
Moreover, in order to get closer to him, Principal Wu had even found He Hongyan, an alumnus of Divine Dragon University, and asked him to help introduce them.
“Why isn’t Li Chengqian here yet?” Principal Wu looked at the time and was a little anxious.
Just then, Li Chengqian and the others walked out from the corner.
“Principal, they’re here.” He Hongyan’s eyes were sharp. He saw Li Chengqian and the others walking over from the corner and hurriedly spoke, pointing in the direction Li Chengqian had come from.
Instantly, everyone’s gazes turned in the direction He Hongyan pointed.
Then, everyone solemnly tidied their clothes to make themselves look more lively and presentable.
Then, under Principal Wu’s lead, a group of people waited for Li Chengqian’s arrival with smiles on their faces.
Seeing Principal Wu and a group of people standing at the entrance, the students who came to participate in the competition were all very curious. The students of Divine Dragon University were also very curious.
“Maybe some big shot is visiting Divine Dragon University? Even Principal Wu is alarmed. I wonder what level of a big shot he is.”
“Wow, even Principal Wu came out to receive him. Who are they waiting for? Who is so important? Could it be that an academician is coming to give a lecture?”
“Dean Chen from the Information School is here too!”
Li Chengqian and the others, who were walking towards the entrance from the crowd, also heard the discussions in the crowd.
“To be able to make Principal Wu of Divine Dragon University wait at the entrance, who is coming over? Isn’t he too arrogant?” Tian Wenming was also very curious.
“It must be a big shot coming.” When He Hongyun saw the stance at the school gate, he was fascinated. He wished that he was the person that Principal Wu was waiting for.
However, he knew very well that it was just a dream. It was absolutely impossible.
Whether it was Ding Ling, Jian Qingli, or Zhao Peng, they were all very curious. What kind of person could warrant such a high-level welcome?
However, thinking about it, it was obvious that other than the crme de la crme of the scientific world, perhaps only a few people would receive such treatment from Principal Wu. No one else had the ability to make Principal Wu wait at the door.
