C435 – Jiang Hao’s Value the Arrival of the Principal
As shock rippled through the crowd, they couldn’t help but cast sympathetic glances at the downcast, wealthy, and handsome man.
On the stage, Jiang Jianbin’s face was a picture of benevolence as he addressed Jiang Hao. “Jiang Hao, come join the army with me!” His invitation hung in the air, but before anyone could process it, a voice cut through the tension.
“No!”
A sprightly middle-aged man was making his way through the crowd. The onlookers exchanged surprised looks. “Why is the principal here?”
Indeed, the man approaching was none other than Li Yao Hui, the principal of Jiangbei University. Li Yao Hui ascended the stage, quickly positioning himself beside Jiang Hao, and fixed a stern gaze on Party Leader Jian Bin. “Party Leader, are you really trying to recruit a national college entrance exam top scorer into the army? That seems a bit underhanded, don’t you think?”
Without missing a beat, Principal Li turned to Jiang Hao. “Jiang Hao, you shouldn’t heed his words. You ought to be striving to deepen your expertise and broaden your horizons...”
Meanwhile, Party Leader Jian Bin wasn’t about to let a military prodigy slip through his fingers over a single remark from Principal Li. “Principal Li, I understand, but his talents aren’t confined to academics! Five shots, five targets—is that something just anyone can achieve? And since when is it written that a top college entrance exam scorer can’t serve as a soldier?”
The back-and-forth between the two men left the crowd agape in astonishment. “Holy smokes, the national college entrance exam champion?” “No way, that’s why Jiang Hao’s name sounded so familiar!” “Geez, is he really the genius who scored 747 points?”
“Yes, Commander!”
Jiang Hao then departed with Gang Jianbin and Li Yao.
On the sports field, at the deputy’s sharp command, the instructors sprang into action. The air was soon filled with groans and cries of exertion.
The students of Class Eight, standing in a row, felt a mix of emotions, but none more so than the so-called ‘tall, rich, and handsome’ guy. He had seen Jiang Hao as his fiercest rival, believing he had won the shooting contest, only to realize in the end.
It seemed Jiang Hao hadn’t even deemed it worth competing. They were not even playing in the same league!
......
Elsewhere, under the watchful eyes of Party Secretary Gang Jianbin and Principal Li Yao, Jiang Hao declared his intentions.
“I’m deeply grateful for your high regard, Commander. I hold the utmost respect for soldiers like you who dedicate themselves to our nation’s defense!”
“However, I wish to pursue further knowledge, with the hope of contributing to society and humanity in the future!”
