"So, there's no room for negotiation?"
Inside Sixth High's principal's office, Principal Pang's expression gradually turned ugly at Chen Yu's insistence on leaving.
"There's definitely no room for negotiation." Chen Yu firmly waved his hand. "I only want to study."
To hell with studying!
This damned studying!
Was he still a student of Sixth High?
Why was he only thinking about studying?
Was studying more important than a gold medal?
Taking a deep breath, Principal Pang suppressed the rising anger in his heart and forced a smile. "Student Chen Yu, your alma mater will not cheat you.
Developing your specialties is the best choice. "
"No!" Shaking his head, Chen Yu said, "I want to study!"
Bang!
Unable to suppress his anger, Principal Pang slammed his fist on the table and pointed at Niu Lanshan. "Little Niu, call Chen Yu's form teacher over."
"Okay!" Niu Lanshan nodded and jogged out of the room.
"Principal, what are you doing?"
"I'd like to ask you how good your grades are for you to be so obsessed with studying."
Five minutes later, under Niu Lanshan's lead, Class 2-2's form teacher walked into the classroom timidly. After taking a look at Chen Yu, he shifted his gaze to Principal Pang, who wore an ugly expression on his face. Tentatively, he said, "A-Principal, I'm here."
"Student Chen Yu is in your class, right?" Principal Pang asked as he pointed at Chen Yu.
"I-That's right.
He's in our class. "
"How are your grades?"
"This …" The form teacher couldn't figure out Principal Pang's attitude.
"Just tell me the truth!"
"A-Third or fourth place in the class …"
"Oh?" Principal Pang looked at Chen Yu in surprise. "Your grades aren't —"
Before Principal Pang could finish, the form teacher gulped and added, "… from the bottom."
Principal Pang: "…"
Niu Lanshan: "…"
Chen Yu: "Sometimes, if I perform well, I can get at least the fifth place from the bottom."
"Is there a need for you to study like this?!" Principal Pang suddenly bellowed.
"This … Isn't participation the most important thing …" Embarrassed, Chen Yu said, "I'm the best at language. I can often beat seven or eight of my classmates."
"P-Principal … What's going on?" the form teacher asked hesitantly.
"Him!"
Just as Principal Pang was about to say something, he shut his mouth in anger. After a while, he calmed his emotions and gestured with his hands as he explained, "Our school's teacher, Teacher Niu, discovered that Student Chen Yu has a very high talent for sports. Even when he ran at the speed recorded in the video, he was still able to become the provincial champion.
In my opinion, this is a good thing for Student Chen Yu, Sixth High, and even our province!
If he could win glory for the country, he could win the sprint championship!
How glorious is that? "
"This … this is indeed a good thing!
How did they get into a fight? "The homeroom teacher's eyes lit up in surprise.
If one of his students became the champion, he would be able to brag about it for many years, not to mention the direct or indirect benefits.
"Of course it's a good thing!
But … "Pointing at Chen Yu, Principal Pang said resentfully," He actually refused!
He insisted on learning! "
"Study?" The form teacher was stunned by Chen Yu's words. He then stared at Chen Yu with widened eyes and asked, "Chen Yu, what are you thinking?
Is studying something you should be thinking about? "
Chen Yu: "..."
"I'll make the decision on this matter. Chen Yu, go practice running!
Win glory for Class 2 and Sixth High! "
"I … I'm not good at running at all!" Chen Yu said, on the verge of tears.
"Even a police car can't catch up to you!
You're still saying you're not good at running?
Are you muddle-headed?! "
Clenching his fists in grief and indignation, Niu Lanshan said, "With your talent, if you started training professionally from a young age, you could even become a world champion!"
"Hah."
Sighing, Chen Yu sat down on the office chair, leaned back, and spread his hands. "I want to study.
No one can stop me from studying.
Studying is the ladder of human progress. Studying is the direction of my life. Studying is the foundation of the country's prosperity.
I love studying. "
"Then I won't let you into the classroom!" the form teacher said, straightening his back.
"I'll look for the Education Bureau's leaders, then!" Chen Yu retorted.
"Wonderful!" Niu Lanshan clapped his hands. "The leaders will definitely persuade you to go jogging!"
"..." Chen Yu: "Spare me, Brother."
The form teacher walked up to Principal Pang and said, "Principal, we should contact Student Chen Yu's parents regarding this matter. The child is still young, and his intelligence is not fully developed yet. He cannot be responsible for his own future."
"Sure. We must discuss this matter with the parents," Principal Pang said decisively. He then turned to Chen Yu and said, "Student Chen Yu, let's go now!
Take my car! "
His complexion darkening, Chen Yu said, "M-My parents went to work."
"Then get off work."
"My parents get off work late. It's better not to trouble them."
"Let's go when we get off work."
"They all get off work at two or three in the morning."
"Then I'll sleep at your place tonight!" Principal Pang's attitude was extremely firm.
Not to mention the Asian sprinting champion, even if there was a national champion in the school, as the principal who had discovered the champion, his position would definitely change.
The world was big, but promotion was the most important!
Would a mere student be able to climb over him, the principal's five-fingered mountain?
…
By the time Chen Yu returned to class, it was already 1: 30 p.m.
Under the gazes of his classmates, Chen Yu returned to his seat, feeling uncomfortable all over.
"Brother Chen!
What happened to you?
You got caught by the principal?
The news has spread throughout the school! "
Li Liang, who sat in front of Chen Yu, turned around and whispered excitedly while the teacher wasn't paying attention. "You're going to be famous!"
Lying weakly on the table, Chen Yu muttered, "I'm going to die."
"What's going on?"
"Baldy, let me ask you something first.
What do you think will happen if a person is found to be in possession of a technological product from the future? "
"Is there even a need to ask?
The government will definitely arrest and interrogate them! "
Chen Yu: "…"
"All kinds of hypnosis, interrogation, psychology, and education will be used."
Chen Yu: "…"
"They might even need to be dissected."
Chen Yu: "…"
"Why are you asking this question?" Li Liang asked in confusion.
"Nothing."
Raising his head and sitting up straight, Chen Yu expressionlessly opened his bag and pulled out a brand-new language textbook. "Stop disturbing me!
I want to study! "
"What?" Li Liang grew even more confused.
"I said stop disturbing me!
I want to study! "
"Are you crazy?"
"I want to study!!"
Chen Yu shouted, scaring the teacher on the lectern so much that he dropped his chalk.
"Chen Yu!" Picking up the chalk on the ground, the teacher looked at Chen Yu and bellowed, "Are you crazy?!"
"Teacher, I want to study!" Chen Yu said righteously as he raised the language textbook in his hand.
"This is English class!"
…
