Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

250 250 I Will Participate

Wei Ling said, “You will definitely get good results….” The kind that would make you cry.

Li Li saw that Tan Jing was participating, so she came over to encourage Tan Rou to participate. “Rourou, go and participate in this physics competition too. Teach Tan Jing a lesson.”

Tan Rou had planned to participate in the competition, but after hearing what Li Li said, she felt that it was better to keep a low profile. “Even if I participate, I might not be able to get a good ranking. Why don’t I just study hard and prepare for the monthly test?”

Li Li continued, “The monthly test has been postponed. There’s no rush. You can just go and participate. It’s not too late to prepare for the monthly test when you come back.”

Tan Rou was about to speak when a student called her from outside, saying that the principal was looking for her.

“Why is the principal looking for you?” Li Li was curious. “He must be looking for you to participate in the physics competition.”

Tan Rou smiled but didn’t say anything. She had guessed the same.

When they arrived at the principal’s office, Tan Rou did not point it out first. She wanted to wait for the principal to speak first.

“You’re here!” The principal’s face was filled with joy. “Hurry up and sit down.”

Tan Rou sat down and pretended not to know anything. “Principal, is there anything you need from me?”

“You know that the province is going to hold a physics competition, right?” The principal went straight to the point.

“Yes.” Tan Rou said, “I heard from the physics teacher just now. He said that the school is going to hold an examination. Three students will be selected to represent the school in the provincial physics competition.”

“Are you interested in this competition?” The principal asked.

Tan Rou rolled her eyes and pretended not to care at all. “It’s just a physics competition in the province. It doesn’t have much value. It’s fine even if I don’t participate.”

“Hmm?” The principal frowned. “Is that what your teacher told you?”

Tan Rou thought to herself, It’s probably going to be a national competition.

“That’s what the teacher said.” Tan Rou said with certainty.

The principal was silent for a moment. “I guess your teacher didn’t want to tell you anything before he got the exact news. In fact, if you win this competition, you will represent the province to participate in the national competition. If you win the national competition, you can also participate in the international competition.”

“There’s so much more to it?” Tan Rou asked in surprise.

The principal said, “I have high hopes for you. If you participate in the competition and win the prize, not only will you be rewarded by the country, but the school will also give you another scholarship. What do you think?”

“I’ll definitely bring glory to the school.” Tan Rou said with a smile. Of course, it would be even better if she could get the money.

The principal was very satisfied with her answer. “Alright, go back and prepare well for it. If you need anything, just inform your teacher.”

“Thank you for your trust, Principal.” Tan Rou thanked him politely.

The principal was looking forward to this competition. After all these years, their school had not won many times. Ever since he took over the school, they have not been first place in any competition. Therefore, he had his own selfish motives. He wanted Tan Rou to compete well and also wanted the school to shine.

Even if the principal and Li Li didn’t say anything, Tan Rou would still participate in this competition. In her previous life, Tan Jing had shone brightly because of this competition. She won first place in the province, third place in the national competition, and then fifth place in the international competition. Although she wasn’t first place, it was still a very good result.

After Tan Jing obtained her results, she became even more popular in school and society. Then, Tan Rou became the target of her secret torture. The more glamorous Tan Jing looked on the outside, the darker she was behind the scenes.

This time, she wanted to take all of Tan Jing’s glory and make the physics results that she was proud of to become her shortcomings.

“Alright, you’ll have one of the three spots. You can choose the remaining two for the exam.” Since the principal had allowed Tan Rou to participate, he had to show his sincerity in convincing her.

Tan Rou didn’t want that to happen. She said to the principal, “For the sake of fairness, let’s just decide by results from the selection test.”

The principal said, “I know your strength…”

“Sir, I want to participate in the selection.” Tan Rou insisted.

The principal looked at her with a smile. “As expected of the student I thought highly of. You’re indeed full of righteousness. Alright, then we’ll do as you say and proceed with the selection test. You have to compete well and get first place.”

After Tan Rou promised him that she would get first place, the principal let her go.
