Chapter 279: Singing A Different Tune

Li Mei thought Chen Lan was arrogant. She felt aggrieved. Chen Lan never dared to talk to her like this before.

She turned and glanced at Chen Lan. No matter what, she needed to get her dignity back!

A little later, Chen Lan handed the list to the principal and vice-principal.

The vice-principal took the matter very seriously. Although they had always defeated Second High School in terms of grades, they had been suppressed by Second High School in the business war since Wen Zhiyi joined them. He wouldn’t take this lying down.

The principal didn’t seem to care much about it. He was quietly drinking tea, looking like he had nothing to do with it. While drinking, he praised, “Mm, it’s not bad. It’s good tea…”

The vice-principal picked up the registration forms. After looking at them one by one, he picked one out. Chen Lan immediately saw which one it was. “Vice-principal, this won’t do. This is my recommendation. Don’t you see the asterisk I marked on it?”

The vice-principal’s eyes darkened. “Yes, but recommendations don’t matter anymore. If we lose again this year, our school will have lost to Second High School three years in a row! I have to be extra careful this time!”

“Vice-principal, but you said I could recommend someone, didn’t you?” Chen Lan tried her best to persuade him.

The vice-principal wanted to knock her head. “Ms. Chen, don’t be impulsive. This isn’t the time for you to be emotional. This involves our school’s reputation!”

Chen Lan didn’t agree. “Vice-principal, you said you would let me recommend one student. Are you going back on your word?”

She tried to stuff Sheng Yang’s registration form back into the stack, but the vice-principal wouldn’t let her. “I was the one who recommended Sheng Yang to join Yan City High School. Do you think I don’t want her to do well? But she has no experience and no connections. How can she compete? Yes, I know she knows Ming Qi, but they’re just acquaintances. Can he really help her come up with a business plan? Mr. Ming is a doctor.”

The two were in a deadlock. At this time, the principal walked over. He took the registration form from Ms. Chen and looked at it carefully.

These registration forms were equivalent to resumes. Everyone tried their best to include their experience and the various competition awards they won before.

Sheng Yang’s registration form was quite typical of her. It was basically empty, and she only filled in a very small part.

“I went to the market with my grandmother once. I managed to buy 50 yuan worth of items for only 20 yuan.”

The vice-principal hadn’t gotten a good look at the registration form earlier. Now, he almost fainted. Was this girl joking around?

If the organizers saw this, they would probably faint from laughter.

The principal smiled happily and squinted at the registration form. “Interesting.”

The vice-principal: “…”

The principal handed the registration form to the vice-principal. “It’s decided, then.”

The vice-principal: “…”

Why does the principal like to oppose me so much?

The vice-principal had rejected Ms. Chen’s request, but the principal was higher than him in seniority, so he didn’t dare to disobey the principal.

He silently put away the registration form. He was still angry and said, “I won’t bother myself with this anymore! When the time comes, we’ll be laughed at by Second High School and the people in the capital.”

That night, Sheng Yang returned home and changed her shoes at the entrance.

Sheng You, Kang Weizhen, and her two brothers rushed over when they heard the noise. They stood in a row and looked at her eagerly.

Then, Kang Weizhen noticed the badge in her hand and was surprised.
