After the two of them expressed their opinions, the students of Class Eight took the opportunity to look at Xing Meng, who was at the back of the classroom. Besides Mo Zhu, who was chosen by Meng Ran and Zhang
Qi, she was the only one who had entered the finals and had not decided if she wanted to enter the team.
Seeing that her classmates had turned their gazes to her, Xing Meng’s fingers tapped the table lightly. Her lips curled into a smile. She looked in the direction of Mo Zhu and said with interest, “Teacher, I want to join
Mo Zhu’s team.”
Upon hearing Xing Meng take the initiative to ask to be in the same team as her, Mo Zhu was a little surprised and paused tapping her phone screen.
This was good too. A few days ago, Xing Meng had specially transferred to Class Eight. It was obvious that she was here for her. If she was placed in another team, it would be a worry-inducing disaster. She might as
well be in the same team as her to be safe.
Besides that, Mo Zhu still had a lot of doubts about how Xing Meng could pass the preliminary round so easily. If she remembered correctly, when she just came back from school, she had gone to Elder Xu’s office and
unintentionally looked through the files of the entire Year Three students of Jingyang High School.
The information showed that when Xing Meng was studying in her previous middle school, her grades were not considered top-notch. Even if she had the talent and had received the guidance of a special teacher in
Beijing, with her ordinary results, it was impossible for her to improve so much in a short period of time. For Xing Meng to be able to get the spot to pass the preliminary round so smoothly, there must be something
that happened underhand.
Seeing that Xing Meng did not have any objections about the students in Class Eight forming a team, Li Xiao stood on the podium and smiled in relief. “In that case, other than Kang Wan, the four students from Class
Eight who have passed the preliminary round will form a team. In a while, the teacher will go to Class One and Class Two to look for the other students who have entered the finals and see if anyone is willing to enter
our group.”
After a pause, Li Xiao seemed to have thought of something. He scratched his head helplessly and continued, “Don’t worry, students. If the children of those two classes have a prejudice against us, we can still invite
teammates from other schools after the Beijing collective training. The spots for the finals this time are exactly in multiples of five. It’s impossible for us to be unable to form the right number!”
Upon hearing this, Mo Zhu recalled Jiang Yu, who was still studying alone in Class One. She pondered quietly for a moment and gently placed her phone on the table. She raised her hand and took the initiative to say,
“Teacher, please ask Jiang Yu from Class One directly. She should be willing to participate in the competition with us.”
“Sure.” In order to persuade Mo Zhu to participate in the training seriously and get a good ranking for the school, Li Xiao agreed readily.
As expected, after he went to Class One to look for Jiang Yu, when the young lady heard that it was an invitation from Mo Zhu, she immediately agreed.
Hence, after school that afternoon, the team list of participants was posted on the noticeboard of the third year.
Because of Kang Wan’s withdrawal, Jiang Yu joined Class Eight’s team. Kang Wan then became teammates with the other four students of Jingyang High School.
In response to the requirements of the organizing committee, each team had to choose a captain to make decisions on behalf of the team during the training and competition. Under the strong requests of Class Eight
and Jiang Yu, Mo Zhu was naturally elected as the captain by everyone.
Although the Mathematics teacher did not think highly of Mo Zhu’s results and abilities, she had heard about the girl’s glorious achievements and outstanding results. At this moment, she had reluctantly agreed to let
Mo Zhu lead everyone to the competition under the insistence of the class.
The training time was set to be Friday. As she thought that unexpected situations might happen when she went to Beijing, Mo Zhu thought for a moment and decided to arrange everything before she left..
