The moment Wei Mingzhe caught sight of Huo Yao, his expression turned uneasy for a moment.
He could not help feeling regretful when he recalled how he had pushed her into the Experimental Class because he was judgmental and ended up losing his title as an outstanding teacher.
Huo Yao did not care about Wei Mingzhe. Even though he was around, she did not bother to greet him. It was not like he taught her any subject.
She quickly left the office.
Wei Mingzhe paused at the entrance for two seconds before he entered the office. After he came in, the Head of Math waved at him holding a test paper.
“Mingzhe, come over and take a look at Huo Yao’s solution for Part B. It’s really incredible.”
The moment Wei Mingzhe heard Huo Yao’s name, he instinctively paused. He clenched his hands slightly before walking over. His eyes landed on the test paper.
The first thing he saw was not the solution. Instead, he looked at the score mentioned there.
“180 marks?” Wei Mingzhe’s voice trembled a little.
He had yet to check on the scores for the Math League, but he had seen the part B questions.
Hence, he was shocked looking at Huo Yao scoring full marks.
The Head of Math nodded. “Huo Yao scored full marks for both parts. She is the only person in the city to have a perfect score.”
Wei Mingzhe’s throat felt a little dry as he stared at her script without saying a word.
“I think her solution is very advanced and highly inferential. Aren’t you deeply interested in Math research? You should print a copy of her answers…”
The Head of Math could not stop talking about research once he started. He was full of praise for Huo Yao and failed to notice Wei Mingzhe’s expression.
Also, he was unaware of the misunderstanding between Huo Yao and Wei Mingzhe, so he did not hold back.
Wei Mingzhe looked awkward the entire time. He interrupted the Head of Math when he could no longer stand it and found an excuse to leave the room.
After the Head of Math inadvertently kept reminding Wei Mingzhe of the error of his ways, he watched as Wei Mingzhe hurriedly left the office and felt puzzled.
He finally snapped out of his daze when the Principal sought him out.
“The Math League results are out, Huo Yao will probably be ranked first in the country. Prepare the documents and head over to the Education Association to carry out the handover.”
The moment the Principal came into the office, he got straight to the point and looked proud.
The Head of Math glanced at the Principal and said in surprise, “Now? Aren’t we getting ahead of ourselves?”
The Principal waved his hand and sat down in a chair before he said, “I am not anxious. I just want glory for our school. If we win the right to host the next Math League, everyone will look at us differently.”
Nothing major had happened for No.1 Middle School in a long time and it was finally the time for things to change.
The Head of Math contemplated briefly before he nodded. “Okay. I will head over to the Education Association with the paperwork, the moment the international ranking is released.”
“Good.”
The Head of Math walked up to the water dispenser and filled a cup of water for the Principal. “Oh yes. How did you get your hands on Huo Yao? In theory, a student as brilliant as her should not have gone unnoticed.”
The Principal took the water cup from him and beamed. “It’s a secret.”
