Chapter 251: 241 Sprinkling sweetness, volunteering one's face for a slap [2nd update]_2

[Please Take a Pill]: Sigh, nevermind, I can understand, after all, the top executive at IBI is really formidable, and if I ended up sending a deity like you in there, I would become a sinner.

[Cola Fries Milk Tea]: Your poison, give me a price.

[Please Take a Pill]: I’ll still give it to you for free, deity, I’ve posted the transaction information on the trading section, remember to go there. When you come over, buy a few more bottles of sunscreen to support my business [Shy.jpg].

Ying Zijin didn’t reply to him anymore; she went to the trading section and clicked to place an order.

The delivery logistics showed that she would receive it tomorrow morning.

This speed was already quite slow.

Because with things like poison, you have to be careful with transportation.

Especially the poison crafted by this deranged Poison Master, diverse and bizarre in form.

Ying Zijin shut down her computer, turned her head, and glanced at the book in Fu Yunshen’s hands.

It was a book on Celtic Mythology.

She had read it too.

The best known among them was King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table.

Ying Zijin pondered and poured herself a glass of juice, “No wonder you bought me children’s books.”

Fu Yunshen looked up again, as if he didn’t understand at first, “Hmm?”

A few seconds later, he remembered that at the beginning, he specifically teased her by buying her some fairy tales.

Ying Zijin drank up her juice and reached a conclusion, “You enjoy it yourself.”

As she spoke, she slowly called out three words, “Little kid.”

“…”

Verdant made quick work of the decision for the ISC direct international competition slot.

After all, there was only one slot for the entire school, so naturally, the most formidable student should be sent.

Other than Ying Zijin, who else could it be?

Rarely, the teachers at Verdant unanimously agreed, even those who were usually at odds with each other.

“Director, it’s about Ying Yuexuan from our class, she overheard us discussing the candidate for the slot,” Teacher Xu pushed up his glasses, “She questioned why we didn’t choose her and said she wants a fair competition with Ying Zijin.”

“Fair competition?” The Dean of Studies heard, “How to compete?”

If there had been extra candidates, they would naturally hold a school-wide selection first.

But no one could compare with Ying Zijin in academic knowledge.

Was there even a need for competition?

Teacher Xu was also helpless, “What do you think?”

“No need to make redundant moves,” the Dean of Studies shook his head, “Besides, the first contest of the ISC is before the college entrance exam. Let her focus on preparing for the exam and the independent admission process.”

“It would be a loss if she got distracted preparing for this.”

Teacher Xu nodded, “That’s what I think too. I’ll go tell her now.”

“Go ahead,” the Dean of Studies waved his hand, “I’ll go to see the principal.”

Humming a tune, he made his way to the principal’s office and knocked before entering.

“Principal, we’ve decided on Ying Zijin as our candidate for the ISC slot,” he said, “I’m about to submit her name.”

Upon hearing this, the principal was momentarily silent, “Director, wait a moment. I need to make a phone call to ask if she’s willing.”

“What?” The Dean of Studies was flabbergasted, “How could she not be willing? What a great opportunity! This could lead her directly into the academic world!”

The principal, however, had his concerns, “I had to call in a favor, otherwise she might not even take the college entrance exam.”

The Dean of Studies was stunned, “…”

The principal picked up the office landline and dialed a number from the directory.

After three rings, the call connected.

“Principal.”

“It’s me, Ying Zijin,” the principal spoke slowly, “there’s something here that might need your help, to represent the school in an international academic competition.”

“This competition is tough, and aside from you, there’s no other appropriate candidate at the school.”

Ying Zijin: “Okay.”

“If you don’t have time, then—” the principal’s eyes bulged, and the rest of his persuasive speech was halted mid-sentence, “You’ve agreed?”

“Agreed,” the girl seemed very sleepy, yawning, “Didn’t you say it’s to help the school?”

“Yes, yes, yes!” The principal was thrilled, “I’ll have someone send you the competition materials in a bit.”

He hung up the phone, feeling like dancing in joy.

The Dean of Studies breathed a sigh of relief, “Should I submit it now?”

“Submit it,” the principal nodded, “It looks like Verdant will certainly make its mark in the international competition.”

The Dean of Studies left elatedly.

When he returned to his office, he saw someone waiting in front of his desk.

With her considerable reputation, the Dean of Studies recognized Ying Yuexuan at a glance.

Before he could ask anything, Ying Yuexuan had already spoken, “Director, has the candidate for the slot been decided?”

“Yes, it’s been decided,” the Dean of Studies didn’t hide anything, “I’m about to submit Ying Zijin’s name.”

Ying Yuexuan drew a deep breath, “So, you didn’t even give me the chance to compete with her? Is this really fair?”

She wasn’t one to fight or scramble for positions, but this slot was very important to her.

If she could attend the international competition and win a certain prize, then she would be able to establish a foothold in the academic world.

“Ying Yuexuan, the school’s choice is naturally based on various considerations,” the Dean of Studies composed himself, “You should be clear why you weren’t chosen.”

“I am not,” Yuexuan pursed her lips, “I only know I didn’t even get to compete and you’ve already decided I’ve lost.”@@novelbin@@

Hearing this, the Dean of Studies was finally surprised, “Isn’t… don’t you really know?”

Yuexuan’s fingers tightened, confused, “What are you referring to?”

“Alright,” the Dean of Studies said, “then come see for yourself.”

He turned on the computer, pulled up the mid-term exam scores and rankings from the previous term, and laid them out in front of Ying Yuexuan.
