After hearing Principal Zhou’s words, Zheng Anyangs heart skipped a beat. However, he maintained a calm demeanor. “While we are teachers, we can’t interfere too much in the students’ affairs. As for the difficulty of the questions, it varies from person to person. Some find them difficult, while others may find them easy. It depends on the students’ abilities.”

When he heard that the questions were very difficult, he felt a bit uneasy. It wasn’t that he didn’t believe in Ye Leng’an’s abilities, but Ye Leng’an had turned in her paper quite early this time, which made him feel somewhat uneasy.

However, in the end, he chose to trust Ye Lengan. It wasn’t for any other reason, but the confidence Ye Lengan displayed seemed genuine. Besides, he was well aware of Ye Lengan’s abilities.

“It seems that Principal Zheng has a lot of confidence in your students,” Principal Zhou nodded and said with a smile. “l just hope that the student won’t disappoint you.”

“We’ll know the results shortly, won’t we?” Zheng Anyang also smiled and said, “1 just hope that when Principal Zhou learns the results, you can face them calmly.”

“Naturally,” Principal Zhou said confidently, with a hint of pride on his face. “You’re aware of Li Quan from our school, I’m sure. He’s exceptionally talented in mathematics. I believe you also know that Capital University’s Mathematics Department has already reserved a spot for him. It’s a bit of a pity, though.

This year, he’s in his senior year, the last chance for him to bring honor to Capital No. 1 High School.”

When Principal Zhou mentioned Li Quan, Zheng Anyangs mouth twitched slightly, and he didn’t say anything more.

At that moment, a person emerged with a red list and affixed it to the notice board. Clearly, this was the result of the Mathematical Olympiad competition. The champion would soon be revealed.

Upon seeing the red list, many people swarmed to it, eager to be the first to

know the results. Zheng Anyang and Principal Zhou, as school principals, couldn’t join the crowd. Instead, they stood a short distance away, waiting for their school representatives to inform them of the outcome.

In just a short while, Zheng Anyang spotted Qian Tong hurrying over with an excited smile on his face,

Seeing the excitement on Qian Tongs face, Zheng Anyangs heart eased. Just from Qian Tong’s expression, he knew that the result was as they expected.

The thought of outperforming Capital No. 1 High School this time couldn’t help but make his heart race.

Principal Zhou, however, remained as steady as a rock, evidently not believing that Shengan High School could surpass Capital No. 1 High School. He believed it was probably because Sheng’an High School had performed well that Qian Tong was so excited.

“Principal, Principal, first place!” Qian Tong rushed over to Zheng Anyang, unable to contain his excitement. “This time, the first place goes to Ye Lengan, it’s Ye Lengan; she secured the first place.”

“Really?” Upon receiving a confirmed answer, Zheng Anyang’s previously high- strung heart gradually relaxed. He tried to suppress the excitement inside, but his smile gave him away. “Principal Zhou, what a pity! I thought that Li Quan from your school would win the championship for the third consecutive year. I didn’t expect that in the final year, our school’s student would actually surpass him. It’s a real shame.”

Principal Zhou’s expression wavered as he asked with doubt, “Is the first place really from your school this time? Could you have made a mistake?”

“Principal Zhou, rest assured,” Qian Tong assured him, patting his chest. “I’ve double-checked it several times, and it’s Ye Lengan from our school. As for Li Quan from your school, he’s in second place.”

This assurance was like a sharp arrow piercing Principal Zhou’s heart, causing his expression to turn somewhat ugly.

If he was confident just moments ago, he was now feeling quite frustrated.

At this point, Zheng Anyang continued to drive the knife into Principal Zhou’s heart. “Principal Zhou, I think there’s something you don’t know! The first place this time, Ye Lengan from our school, is the same one who turned in her paper after only half an hour..”
