The Secretary-General did not mean to belittle Huo Yao.
When the preliminary test results were out, he thought that this student could be recommended. However, after asking around, he found out that she was a transfer student who had just transferred from a small county.
This transfer student might have a solid foundation, but how could the teaching standards in a small county compare to those in a big city?
Even though she had exceeded the syllabus in the preliminary test and showed her intelligence, there were so many participants from all over the country. Which one of them was not a top student?
What's more, he had participated in this competition many times and had seen many students who had caught up and become dark horses. Although this young lady was indeed impressive, she might not have the ability to make it to the international competition.
Hence, the Secretary-General composed himself and did not reply.
Huo Yao, on the other hand, found Zhao Lian's words interesting. She smiled and asked him playfully. "Are there many talented people at the international level?"
Zhao Lian looked at Huo Yao and was stunned. Then he nodded instinctively. "Of course."
The Principal, who had been silent all this while, glanced at Huo Yao. He could not help touching his chin when he saw the competitive look on her face.
He felt that the international competition this year was going to be exciting.
He was very curious about this kid's true ability.
The Secretary-General and Zhao Lian did not ask Huo Yao any further questions and let her go back to class.
After she left, the Secretary-General put down his teacup and looked at Zhao Lian. "Professor Zhao, you seem to have high hopes for Huo Yao."
Zhao Lian smiled and said, "She's a good seedling."
"But... her? The international competition? "It would be fine if she was a science student, but an arts student... The Secretary-General shook his head.
"Don't underestimate anyone." Zhao Lian's gaze was profound. He turned to look at the principal and said meaningfully, "You're lucky."
The Principal smiled and nodded calmly. "I think so too."
The Secretary-General looked at them and could not help muttering in his heart. Was there really something special about the arts student?
Zhao Lian took a sip of tea and suddenly recalled something. He asked. "Oh yes. Is there another star in No.1 Middle School who is participating in the competition?"
The Principal raised his brow. "Are you talking about Lu Xia?"
"I think so." Zhao Lian vaguely remembered. He raised his head and looked at the Secretary-General. "Your chairman mentioned her to me. How did she do this time?"
"Seems okay. Let me check." As the Secretary-General spoke, he took out his phone. After a while, he said, "186 points, ranked 10th."
Zhao Lian's interest in Lu Xia waned. However, he still said, "Her score is not bad. She might be able to make it to the national finals."
The secretary-general looked at him and remembered the chairman's instructions. He opened his mouth and was about to speak. "Then …"
However, before he could say anything, he was suppressed by the principal's voice.
"Although Lu Xia's academic performance has been relatively stable, her focus may be on other development and participation." The principal looked indifferent.
