In fact, she was not very sure if she would be able to rush back in time to take the exams at the end of the semester. However, she still wanted the principal to grant her leave, so she absolutely could not tell him that. Otherwise, he wouldn’t bob his head.
If she really couldn’t come back in time for the final exams, then she would cross the bridge when she came to it.
“Coming back for the final exams?” Zheng Anyang gritted his teeth and looked at Ye Leng’an. “You’re a student. Taking part in the final exams is what you should do. You want to use this to negotiate with me?”
“No, no.” Ye Leng’an shook her head repeatedly and explained, “Principal, I really have something very important to attend to. That’s why I want to take a
leave of absence. If you don’t approve my leave, I’ll have to skip class.” “Ye Leng’an!” Zheng Anyang scolded in a low voice, “Are you threatening me?”
“How would I? Principal, you’ve really misunderstood me.” Ye Leng’an hurriedly explained, “Principal, you know that I’ve already learned all the lessons by myself. Therefore, even if I sit in the classroom and listen to the teachers attentively, it will only be a waste of time. Besides, you promised me that I could take leave at any time.”
Hearing her mention the deal between the two of them, Zheng Anyang felt his head hurt even more. “Yes, I did give you the privilege of taking leave at any time, but you can’t keep skipping class like this! Do the math yourself. Have you spent half the time in school this semester?”
He now regretted agreeing to her requests. Ever since he agreed, she took leave every few days and could rarely be seen on campus. She just came back several days ago, but now she wanted to take another month off.
Ye Leng’an rubbed her nose and smiled guiltily. “Principal, I definitely won’t ask for leave again next semester.”
“No.” Zheng Anyang refused without hesitation. “Your attendance rate is too low. There aren’t many days left in this semester. If there’s anything you need to deal with, you can wait until the holidays!”
Ye Leng’an was a little discouraged to see that Zheng Anyang was impervious. However, she rolled her eyes and said, “Principal, as long as you grant my leave this time, I guarantee that I will get first place in the National Mathematical Olympiad Competition.”
Zheng Anyang raised his head abruptly and said in a trembling voice with excitement. “What do you mean? Are you sure that you can get first place in the Mathematical Olympiad Competition?”
This was something he did not dare to imagine. All these years, Sheng’an High School had never won a place in the Mathematical Olympiad Competition. Principal Zhou of Capital No.l High School would mention this matter every time they met. Zheng Anyang gnashed his teeth with hatred when thinking about this, but he couldn’t refute it.
But now, Ye Leng’an said that she could get first place in the Mathematical
Olympiad Competition. How could he not be excited? If the student of Sheng’an High School really won the Mathematical Olympiad Competition, Principal Zhou would definitely be furious.
“Yes, of course.” Ye Leng’an nodded. “Principal, I can sign on a military-style order now. If I don’t get first place in the Mathematical Olympiad Competition this time, I won’t be taking a day off next semester.”
Zheng Anyang raised his head and stared at Ye Leng’an as if he wanted to see something from her expression. However, no matter how he looked at her, Ye Leng’an always looked confident. It was as if the first place was already in her bag.
Her frequent absence from class gave him a headache. However, he had to admit that he was tempted by what she said.
After a long while, Zheng Anyang sighed. Then, as if he had accepted his fate, he said, “Give me the leave slip!”
Seeing Zheng Anyang relent, Ye Leng’an hurriedly handed over the leave slip, afraid that the principal would go back on his word the next second.
After signing the leave slip and returning it to Ye Leng’an, Zheng Anyang said solemnly, “Ye Leng’an, remember what you promised me today. If you don’t get first place, don’t even think about getting a day off from me next semester.”
Ye Leng’an waved the leave slip in her hand and smiled brightly. “Principal, don’t worry. I haven’t fulfilled the promise I made to you at that time! If you don’t believe me, you can take a look at my result in the qualifier first!”
“Oh? Looks like you’re very confident!” Zheng Anyang said, “Don’t forget, if you don’t get first place this time, you’ll still have to participate in the training during winter break.”
“Principal, I remember! You don’t have to remind me.” Ye Leng’an said with a smile, “Principal, I want you to take a look at my score, not my ranking.”
“Looks like you’re very confident!” Zheng Anyang looked at Ye Leng’an and joked, “Can you get more than 90 points?”
This time, in order to pick the elites of the Mathematical Olympiad Competition, the school spent a lot of effort in preparing the test paper. Moreover, the school even asked a professor from Capital University’s Mathematics Department to review the paper.
It could be said that the questions in this paper were almost as difficult as those in the National Mathematical Olympiad Competition. If Ye Leng’an could get more than 90 points, then her chances of winning first place would be higher.
Unexpectedly, Ye Leng’an shook her head. “According to my estimation, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be 100 points.”
Those Mathematical Olympiad questions were too easy. She felt that getting 100 marks was no problem.
“A hundred points?” Zheng Anyang sucked in a breath of cold air. “Are you serious?”
“You’ll see when the time comes.” Ye Leng’an said with a smile, “However, isn’t it normal to get 100 marks for such an easy test?”
She didn’t think that the questions were difficult at all. However, what others thought had nothing to do with her.
“Simple?” Zheng Anyang exclaimed. “Do you know what you are saying? How could the Mathematical Olympiad questions be easy? They were even reviewed by a professor from Capital University.”
“Is that so?” Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but nod. She looked indifferent. “I don’t think it’s difficult.
Zheng Anyang’s eyes were actually glowing when he looked at Ye Leng’an. He had always known that she was talented in mathematics, but he did not expect her to be so smart. If her maths was really excellent, then there was a high chance that she would get first place in the Mathematical Olympiad Competition.
“Alright, Principal, I’ll go back first.” Ye Leng’an kept the leave slip and stood up. She waved at Zheng Anyang. “Starting tomorrow, I won’t be coming to class. Please leave me a message if anything happens! I may not have time to answer the call.. When I see the message, I’ll reply as soon as possible!”
