341 No Regrets

Zhang Huang slowly walked to the window and looked at the pleasant scenery outside. “Such a talented person shouldn’t have been buried for so long. Instead, he should have been dug out long ago. Shan Yue only rose quickly in the past year. All of this fits very well.”

Lin Xiao looked up. “But isn’t it too rash to make such a guess based on these? This might just be a coincidence.”

“I knew you’d say that. Often true geniuses have high attainments in many ways. Shan Yue only shows her talent in chemistry, but what you don’t know is that her medical skills are also superb.”

Zhang Huang turned around and smiled again. “I once invited her to study in the medical school, but she rejected me. Coincidentally, that anonymous person also rejected my invitation. Later, she said that she wanted to rely on her own efforts to get into the Capital University. You should know the outcome of that. She relied on her perfect score to be admitted as the first in the school. If there’s a little similarity between the two, it can indeed be explained by coincidence, but all the points now point to her.”

Lin Xiao’s eyes lit up. “Principal, I understand what you mean. You didn’t call me over just to tell me this, right? How should I cooperate with you?”

“As expected, you’re still the smartest. I don’t even need to say anything else. You really understand at one point.”

Zhang Huang turned around and closed the office door to prevent others from hearing their conversation. “With you around, the Mathematics team will definitely have confidence in winning. I want to find an excuse to arrange for you to give up the competition because you’re not feeling well. Then, let Shan Yue go on stage for you and hand the key to deciding the competition to her.”

Hearing Zhang Huang’s arrangements, Lin Xiao was still a little worried. This method left no way out.

“If you arrange it like this, you’re really taking an unconventional path. Once Shan Yue isn’t the person we’re looking for, she’ll definitely lose. In that case, not only will the title of the number one university in the Federation change, but our Capital University will probably make the headlines the next day. Is it really worth your risk?”

“Lin Xiao, don’t be so pessimistic. I’ll admit defeat if I lose in the end. Anyway, I’ve been wearing this title for a few years. It’s not a bad thing to let others use it occasionally.”

There was an irresistible determination in Zhang Huang’s tone. “But what if we win? Don’t you want to know who that anonymous person is? Can you bear this blow in your heart?”

Lin Xiao knew that Zhang Huang had already made up his mind to call him over. No matter what he said, it would not change Zhang Huang’s mind. Moreover, Lin Xiao had always wanted to know who the anonymous person was, so he did not say anything else and agreed immediately.

Zhang Huang patted his shoulder, and the determination in his eyes gradually turned to guilt. “It’s just that this method will only make you suffer. In the end, once you lose the competition, you will also be criticized by some people. At that time, it will cause a huge burden to your heart and even affect your reputation in school.”

“You’re thinking too much.” Lin Xiao waved his hand and pretended not to care. “As a man, if I don’t even have this bit of endurance, how can I achieve great things in the future? My goal is to become a talent like Senior Zhou who contributes to society.”

“I’m relieved to hear that. I was right about you.” Zhang Huang’s eyes were filled with relief as he handed Lin Xiao a cup of brewed tea. “But this isn’t enough. There has to be a reason to add fuel to the fire, so I still have to trouble you with something.”

“Please, tell me. I’ll definitely do whatever I can,” Lin Xiao immediately said.

“Find an opportunity to explain the situation of the competition to Shan Yue later. Then tell her about my pursuit of winning the championship in a row.” Zhang Huang’s eyes were kind as he smiled and said, “Shan Yue is like my biological granddaughter. Once she has my ties, she won’t choose to hold back to deliberately hide her strength.”

Lin Xiao asked tentatively, “Principal, is this really worth it?”

“Actually, there’s nothing worth it in this world. As long as you’re willing to do something, no matter what the price is in the end, it’s worth it. At least you won’t leave any regrets for yourself.”
