Chapter 106: Her? Join The International Quiz Contest?

When the preliminary test results came out, he had wanted to recommend Huo Yao to Zhang. But later he found out that she was a new transfer from a tiny county.

The new transfer might have an excellent foundation, but the level of education in a small county could not compare to City S.

Even though she lost points for going beyond scope, it displayed her brilliance. But there were plenty of participants hailing from all over the country, and each one of them was good.

Moreover, the Education Association had been organizing this for years, and he had seen his fair share of dark horses who caught up with the rankings later. Although this young woman was impressive, she might be incapable of making her way to the international level.

So the Secretary-General composed himself and did not say anything.

But Huo Yao found it interesting, so she smiled and asked playfully. “Is the International Quiz Contest a gathering of masters?”

Zhao Lian gazed at Huo Yao and went into a daze. He subconsciously nodded and said, “That goes without saying.”

The Principal quietly glanced at Huo Yao as he sat there silently. He could not help feeling his chin when he detected the sense of competitiveness on her face.

It was going to be an exciting year for the International Quiz Contestants.

The Principal was curious about this young lady’s true talent.

The Secretary-General and Zhao Lian let Huo Yao go back to class soon after, without asking her anything else.

After Huo Yao left, the Secretary-General put down his teacup and looked at Zhao Lian. He said, “Professor Zhao, you seem to think highly of Huo Yao.”

Zhao Lian smiled and only said, “Yes, she’s a good student.”

“But... her? Making it to the International Quiz Contest?”

She might have stood a chance if she were a science student, but she studied arts.... The Secretary-General shook his head.

“You shouldn’t look down on others,” said Zhao Lian with his profound expression in his eyes.

Then he turned to look at the Principal and said subtly, “You were lucky to meet her.”

The Principal’s lips curved into a smile. He nodded and said complacently, “That’s what I think as well.”

The Secretary-General glanced at them and he muttered in his heart. Was there genuinely something special about that art student?

After Zhao Lian took a sip of the tea, he suddenly recalled something. He asked the principal. “Oh yes, did a campus star from No.1 Middle School participate in the quiz too?”

The Principal raised his brow and replied. “Are you talking about Lu Xia?”

“I guess that sounds right,” said Zhao Lian as the name seemed familiar.

He looked up at the Secretary-General and continued. “Your Chairman especially mentioned to me about her. How did she do this time?”

“I think she fared alright. Let me check,” said the Secretary-General and took out his phone.

After a moment, he said, “She scored 186 points and stood 10th.”

When Zhao Lian heard this, he instantly lost interest in Lu Xia. But he didn’t let it show on his face and said, “Not too bad. She stands a chance of making it into the national levels.”

As the Secretary-General looked at him, he recalled what the Chairman told him to do.

So he said, “Then...”

The Principal interrupted before the Secretary-General managed to say his piece.

“Although Lu Xia always had stable grades, her focus is on a non-academic career,” said the Principal indifferently.

“That’s true. She might have a brighter future in being a celebrity,” said Zhao Lian as he smiled and shook his head.

Then he turned to the Secretary-General and said, “Ye, what did you want to say?”
