“Yeah!” Unlike before, Zheng Anyang walked right up to him with an air of confidence and vitality. “Principal Zhou, it’s been a long time! You’re looking quite haggard. It seems the pressure has been too much, huh?”
If it weren’t for Ye Leng’an, he wouldn’t have this much confidence. But with Ye Lengan on their side now, he could be certain that this time the championship would definitely belong to their school. So, he was full of confidence right now.
Seeing Zheng Anyang like this, Principal Zhou couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. The smile on his face also seemed somewhat fake. “Principal Zheng appears very confident! It seems you have high hopes for this group of students!”
As he spoke, his gaze fell upon the students of Shengan High School participating in the competition.
After competing with Zheng Anyang for so long, though he had always held the advantage, he had never underestimated this rival. At the same time, he understood Zheng Anyang very well.
Zheng Anyang had never been an impulsive person. For him to be so self-assured today, it seemed he felt he had already clinched victory. There was no doubt that among this group of students, there was definitely a dark horse that Zheng Anyang had pinned his hopes on.
However, during the training period, Principal Zhou hadn’t heard of any student performing particularly well. If there was one, it appeared to be a female student surnamed Ye, though she didn’t seem to stand out much. Moreover, the student surnamed Ye had not participated in the entire training program, and was absent after the New Year.
“Well, well, look at the way you talked!” Zheng Anyang tilted his head, looking like a triumphant rooster. “I naturally have confidence in these students, which is why I let them participate in this competition. By then, your school’s undefeated record may not be able to continue.”
It could be said that almost every competition was won by students from Capital No. 1 High School. So this man had always been arrogant in front of him. If Ye Lengan were to take first place this time, it would be a great help for him and the school, relieving some pressure.
Principal Zhou replied with a polite but icy smile, “Principal Zheng appears quite confident! However, nothing is decided until the results are out, so it’s best not to boast too early, lest you end up with egg on your face.”
He was equally confident in his own students. Moreover, he was certain that Capital No. 1 High School was far superior to Shengan High School, be it in teachers or students.
Zheng Anyang didn’t object but nodded in agreement. “Then let’s wait and see what happens! ”
Soon, the two teams separated.
After bringing the ten students to the exam hall, Zheng Anyang encouraged them for a few words and then allowed everyone to enter the examination room. However, just as they were about to enter the examination room, he called out to Ye Lengan.
“Principal, anything else?” Ye Lengan looked at Zheng Anyang and asked, “Or do you have other instructions?”
“Ye Lengan!” Zheng Anyangs face was full of smiles. When looking at Ye
Lengan, his voice was gentle, almost tender. “This time, I’ve placed all my hopes on you. As you saw, I’ve already bragged in front of Principal Zhou from Capital No. 1 High School. You can’t make me out to be someone who only makes empty boasts!
Hearing Zheng Anyang mention the childish exchange with Principal Zhou, Ye Lengan couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Still, she promised, “Principal, don’t worry. I’ll make sure you can continue bragging to Principal Zhou when the time comes.”
“Good, very good,” Zheng Anyang said with repeated nods. But he immediately added, “However, you mustn’t feel nervous! While I do hope you’ll take first place, 1 1 m definitely not trying to pressure you! Just take it
“Principal, don’t worry. Since I promised to take first place, I won’t go back on my word,” said Ye Lengan, rolling her eyes again. Then she continued, “However, Principal, after the competition, there’s a small matter I’d like to discuss with you. I’ll come find you when you have time, at your convenience..”
