Chapter 38 Vice principal

Shen Qin snapped out of her trance and called out to Ming An Ling just before she stepped out of the office, "Although there's no prize money, you will be guaranteed a place in Nanjiang University. If you win an international award, you will have a bright future ahead of you."

Nanjiang University is the top university in the country. Despite it's lawless rules, it remains as a popular university. Everyone would do anything to get be admitted unless the course they pursued is not inside or the best kind.Furthermore, there was a limit to the number of students admitted each year, if one could get a recommendation, it would be equivalent to having a ticket to be exempted from the entrance exams. That would definitely worth than a few hundred thousand or even a few million yuan.

However who was Ming An Ling? She was someone could do well for the national exams and be accepted which was not as troublesome as participating in this quiz since the exam was just 'on the way' so it was much better to make some money instead.

Hence, hearing the teacher's words, her shoulders drooped even more. She replied in a muffled voice without turning her head and stepped out of the door.

Shen Qin was perplexed and frowned as she watched Ming An Ling's disappearing figure. Why did she feel that Ming An Ling had signed up for the prize money instead of the guaranteed spot?

But as soon as this thought came to her, she laughed at herself. No way, anyone in their right mind would choose to have a spot in Nanjiang University instead of some cash.

...Right?

...

Ming An Ling returned to class and asked Huacang, "Did you signed me up for the National Quiz?"

"Ehhhh? No, since you didn't want to participate, I figured it was useless to force someone. Afterall, you can bring a horse to the stream, but you cannot force it to drink water." Huacang was puzzled.

Fuyou stared at her and said "As much as the metaphor used is weird. But then who signed you up?"

Ming An Ling simply shrugged her shoulders and they continued with their classes.

.....

After the quiz registration ended, Shen Qin sorted out the registration form for the third Class and handed it to the Vice Principal.

"So few?" The vice principal was surprised.

There were thirty five students in the third class, yet less than five signed up.

"Maybe because of national exams, the students want to use more time for revision instead." Shen Qin replied sheepishly.

As the vice principal skimmed the list of names, he was stunned to see Ming An Ling on the list.

Puzzled, he questioned "Isn't this the transfer student?"

Shen Qin awkwardly answered "Maybe she wanted to challenge herself."

The vice principal knew about Ming An Ling being recruited by the principal, however he did not know about her performance. But remembering what Wei Houwan said about her being arrogant, he immediately remarked "Nonsense!"

"The ministry of education attached great importance towards this quiz. It is not something she can just join if she wants to. If others know that a transfer student is sent, who knows where will our Baiqing face be put at?!"

Although Shen Qin noticed the vice Principal's hostility, he had a point.

"Anyways we cannot add her name, cancel it." He added

"But that won't be good, vice principal." Shen Qin tried to refute.

As they could not reach a consensus, the vice principal simply gave up and left.
