Chapter 228 She Becomes the Captain, Don’t Regret It
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Ren Xinghe ranked sixth.
Twenty points behind Fang Canyang.
But as long as he fell out of the top five, there was no difference between sixth place and twenty-sixth place—they all couldn’t make it into the national team anyway.
If Fang Canyang was a stumbling block glaring in front of him, then Jiang Fuyue was a sword hanging over his head, the former blocking his path and the latter bringing endless threats and insults.
Ren Xinghe hated them both!
He had worked so hard, yet his score was still lower than Fang Canyang’s; originally, if Jiang Fuyue had agreed to let him join her group, all these problems could have been easily solved, but she didn’t.
Not only did she not agree, she also spoke harshly.
A cold light flashed in Ren Xinghe’s eyes, but instantly returned to silence.
At this point, the physics summer camp came to a successful conclusion. Except for Jiang Fuyue’s group of five who needed to stay in the capital for a while longer, the rest could take their certificates and pack up to go home.
Nearly half of the students left campus that afternoon.
At that moment, Jiang Fuyue and the others were sitting in an empty classroom, listening to Yan Zhenfeng’s lecture.
“… You are the five selected after countless trials and tribulations. Do you know what this means?”
Jiang Fuyue remained silent.
Ling Xuan’s expression was indifferent.
Lin Shumo openly played with his earphones.
Huo Fanjin simply took out a small mirror to look at herself.
Only Fang Canyang nodded politely and said, “I don’t know.”
Yan Zhenfeng glanced at him with relief; it’s good that the students are obedient.
“Cough… it means you are very outstanding!”
Huo Fanjin shrugged, “Isn’t that a fact?”
Lin Shumo nodded.
Ling Xuan: “Agreed.”
Jiang Fuyue: “Oh.”
Yan Zhenfeng: “?” Isn’t this not how the script was supposed to go?!
Fang Canyang looked at the group of big shots around him trembling in fear, are they really this arrogant?
“Cough! Although confidence is a good thing, you shouldn’t be blindly proud.”
Huo Fanjin: “But it’s the truth.”
Yan Zhenfeng: “…”
It seems that geniuses are not easy to manage.
“Do you know what the national team means?” he asked again.
Still, no one responded.
Uh… except for Fang Canyang: “A team representing the country?”
Yan Zhenfeng nodded, “Correct. You will represent the country in battle, competing with other participating countries. Although it’s not as fierce as war, competition is inevitable.”
“Do you know the results of last year’s IPhO?”
Huo Fanjin pursed her lips, “As far as I know, it seems like they didn’t even get a single gold medal.”
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
Yan Zhenfeng also fell silent.
After a moment, he continued, “I’m not saying this to add pressure, but to make you realize the reality. Do not underestimate the enemy.”
Jiang Fuyue squinted her eyes slightly. “We understand.”
Once she spoke, the others also expressed their agreement.
Lin Shumo: “This year is different from last year.”
Ling Xuan: “I get it. We should underestimate the enemy strategically but take them seriously tactically.”
Huo Fanjin: “Well, I may talk big, but I’m actually very humble inside.”
Fang Canyang nodded vigorously: “They are all right!”
Yan Zhenfeng finally understood. As long as he could handle Jiang Fuyue, the rest wouldn’t be a problem.
Ah! Geniuses aren’t that difficult to manage, as long as you take down the leader!
Jiang Fuyue: Did I hear you want to take me down?
Yan Zhenfeng: …Misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding.
“Additionally, there’s one more thing to announce. This international competition will be led by me, Professor Qin, and Professor Sun. We will accompany you to Country D. Does anyone have any objections?”
Jiang Fuyue shrugged. She had none.
The others probably wouldn’t either.
Sure enough, the remaining four shook their heads.
Qin Libin and Sun Qun, who had been sitting nearby, stood up with smiles.
Qin Libin: “Professor Yan will mainly be responsible for answering professional questions. Professor Sun will take care of your daily needs, and I will mainly be your translator since daily communication in Country D mostly uses German.”
Sun Qun added, “Please take care of us, students.”
“Lastly, and most importantly,” Yan Zhenfeng looked around at everyone, “a team needs a leader. Do any of you want to volunteer?”
Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke up.
Yan Zhenfeng’s eyes twinkled. “Since no one is volunteering, I’ll just appoint someone directly—Jiang Fuyue, you’ll be the captain!”
Jiang Fuyue: “?” Sitting in the classroom and an official title just drops from the sky?
Ling Xuan immediately supported: “I agree!”
Lin Shumo: “No objections.”
Huo Fanjin glanced past the two, looking at the unmoved Jiang Fuyue: “Fine, I suppose.”
However, it seemed like she wasn’t too eager to take on this difficult task?
Fang Canyang didn’t have any opinions; he habitually nodded along with what others said.
At this moment, everyone’s opinions were highly unified. It was just up to Jiang Fuyue to accept.
“Alright,” she nodded, her indifferent gaze sweeping over everyone, “Just don’t regret it.”
Uh—
Why did they suddenly feel a chill down their necks?
Yan Zhenfeng smiled with squinty eyes, like a big brown bear successfully stealing honey.
Heh heh, after all that, didn’t I still get you, the leader?
Jiang Fuyue, sensing something, looked at him with a gradually deepening, meaningful gaze…
