“There are many complex and challenging medical issues that Western medicine cannot solve, and in the end, they often turn to traditional Chinese medicine for solutions. I want to show the world that the products of our country are by no means inferior to those from abroad.”

“Well said.” Upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, Elder Sun felt a surge of enthusiasm and looked at her with even greater admiration. “Ye Lengan, with such grand ambitions, it’s truly commendable! While it’s a bit regrettable regarding your mathematical talent, I respect your choice.”

Despite his attempts at persuasion, Ye Leng’an’s request remained unchanged. Although Elder Sun was disappointed, he wasn’t a stubborn person and soon took his leave.

Before departing, he gazed at Ye Lengan and said, “Ye Lengan, I hope to see you at Capital University in two and a half years. I firmly believe that you can make it into our school.’

Upon hearing these words, Ye Lengan couldn’t help but smile knowingly and replied, “Elder Sun, rest assured, you may see me sooner than you think.” Elder Sun was puzzled but chose not to press further.

After Elder Sun left, only Zheng Anyang and Ye Lengan remained in the principal’s office. Zheng Anyang playfully remarked, “Ye Lengan, did you come to see me early this morning to have me fulfill my promise?”

Ye Lengan nodded and was forthright, replying, “Yes, that’s right! Principal, you made a promise to me. You said that if I secured first place in the

Mathematical Olympiad competition, you would grant one of my requests.

You wouldn’t go back on your word, would you?”

Zheng Anyang reassured her, “Absolutely not. What’s your request? Just tell me, and I’ll grant it.”

Ye Lengan nodded and then said, “Principal, actually, my request is quite simple. I want to skip to the third year of high school.”

“It’s just for taking a leave of absence! For how many days? You can just tell me…” Zheng Anyang began to speak but was interrupted by Ye Leng’an’s surprising revelation. “What? What did you just say? You want to skip a grade?”

He was completely taken aback, not expecting this request from Ye Leng’an. He had assumed that her request was related to taking a leave of absence and had even prepared a leave request. However, now he was confronted with this unexpected bombshell, and he struggled to react.

Ye Leng’an confirmed, “Yes, that’s right! Principal, don’t forget, you promised me. A gentleman keeps his word, and you can’t backtrack on your commitment! ”

Zheng Anyang expressed his confusion, “I thought you were only planning to take a leave of absence. Ye Lengan, didn’t you mention earlier that you wanted to enjoy your three years of high school and had no intention of taking the college entrance exam early? Why the sudden decision to skip a grade?”

He had already planned to encourage Ye Lengan to participate in competitions during the next two and a half years, as he was well aware of her exceptional abilities, not only in mathematics but also in other subjects. However, her sudden request to skip a grade caught him off guard. If she were to skip directly to the third year of high school, the time left would be barely enough for half a semester.

Ye Lengan explained, “1 initially had that plan in mind. But later, 1 realized that high school doesn’t matter much to me. So, I believe I can take the college entrance exam directly and begin university life earlier.”

Zheng Anyang was left feeling uncertain, and he hadn’t anticipated Ye Leng’an’s sudden request. He was unsure of how to handle the situation, particularly as the school year had already begun. Such a hasty transfer to the third year of high school could disrupt other students.

Ye Lengan reminded him, “Principal, you promised me! You mustn’t backtrack. Otherwise, I’m not sure if I can keep my promises to you in the future.’

Hearing this somewhat threatening remark from Ye Lengan, Zheng Anyang felt as if he were facing a challenging situation. “You’re constantly causing trouble for me here. Do you really think skipping a grade is so easy? If it were that easy to arrange, I wouldn’t have to contemplate it here..”
