The Principal smiled and said, "I happen to be returning on a Friday too."
Min Yu looked at him. "Why don't I get Zhuo Yun to pick you up?"
The Principal waved his hand. "It's fine. You don't have to trouble yourself. I have a few other students to take care of."
Min Yu raised his brow. "You're taking part in the competition?"
"Uh huh. But how did you know?" asked the Principal in surprise.
Min Yu smiled. "Someone mentioned it a couple of days ago."
So that was the reason.
The Principal did not probe further and continued to chat about other things.

After Huo Yao left the Principal's office, she went straight to her classroom. She was not interested in guessing why she bumped into Min Yu at the Principal's office.
"What did the Principal say to you in his office?"
Meng Ying leaned over and asked the moment she sat down.
Huo Yao took out an English textbook from the box on her desk. She flipped through it and replied. "He told me to study hard for the National Quiz next week."
Meng Ying rested her chin on her hand. "That's it? Nothing else? "
"That's all," replied Huo Yao without raising her head.
Meng Ying blinked, then her gaze fell on the English document that a certain someone was reading. She tried her best to read one line, and suddenly felt dizzy. Although she felt that her English was not bad, why couldn't she understand a single word?
He covered his eyes and felt as if he had been hit by another attack for no reason.
"Aren't you supposed to study hard? Why are you reading an English textbook?" asked Meng Ying quizzically.
Huo Yao flipped another page and replied calmly. "Oh, I signed up for another oral English competition."
Meng Ying touched her nose. "An oral English competition? Why did you sign up for it?"
Of course she knew about the competition. Her English teacher had mentioned it in class a few days ago, but no one had signed up for it.
An oral English competition was not as simple as memorizing English phrases. It tested one's grammar and speed of speech. Moreover, one could not bring a script on stage, so it was no different from giving a speech empty-handed.
No, it was even more difficult than giving a speech empty-handed. After all, one had to translate Chinese into English.
"The first place will get a scholarship of 100,000 yuan," said Huo Yao solemnly.
How could she say no to money?
Meng Ying recalled a period of time when she was dominated by a certain someone's daily transfer of 20,000 RMB. Her mood became very complicated. After a long time, she finally said, "Dear, may I ask if you are someone who needs money?"
Huo Yao placed her hand on the English textbook and turned to look at him. She nodded solemnly. "Who would complain about having too much money?"
The corner of Meng Ying's mouth twitched. Damn it, this kind of questioning from the soul actually left her speechless.
Huo Yao smiled when she noticed Meng Ying's speechless expression. After a while, she suddenly looked at her and asked her. "Oh yes. Do you follow celebrities?"
"Ah?" The topic changed too quickly. Meng Ying was stunned for a moment, but then she nodded. "Of course. Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
She remembered that this statue had previously said that it wasn't interested in celebrities.
Huo Yao contemplated for two seconds before she said, "Have you heard of Huo Xiang?" She paused. "He's a singer."
"Huo Xiang? Meng Ying shook her head. "I've never heard of it."
"Okay, I got it." Huo Yao veered her eyes regretfully.
She confirmed with his gaze that her fourth older brother was indeed the one who wasn't famous.
