The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 241: Chapter 240: Lu Mian’s Scum File

Ding Cai swallowed the words at the tip of his tongue and awkwardly touched his nose.

“Something on your mind?”

“Yeah,” Lu Mian responded indifferently, without specifying what it was.

Ding Cai knew he wouldn’t get any more information out of her and, despite wanting to show concern, he didn’t know where to start. He had no choice but to nod in agreement, “Okay.”

After following her for a few steps, Ding Cai remembered what he had wanted to say.

“Lu Mian, do you remember the last time I mentioned there was an event at school?”

“Yeah, you got interrupted halfway through.”

“Here’s the thing. Because our Kunpeng High School is renowned for its educational quality nationwide, every year there are school leaders from other schools who bring their students over for a week-long study and visit. This time, it’s set for January.”

After so much build-up, Lu Mian turned her head to glance at Ding Cai and quietly asked, “So what?”

Ding Cai cleared his throat, “These leaders and students visiting our school don’t just come for a tour. During their visit, the school inevitably organizes a competitive exchange meeting. The senior second and third years are busy with their courses, so it always falls on the shoulders of the freshman classes. So… I was thinking of appointing you as the student representative to host them…”

To put it plainly, such exchange meetings were just occasions for two schools to come together and compete in secret to see whose children were superior.

It was only natural for Kunpeng High School, with its prestigious reputation, to be watched by outstanding high schools across the country.

The student representatives chosen were naturally the pride and joy of the school. Winning against the other side in such an exchange and securing honor for their school not only meant more attention from the school authorities, but also added a significant mark to the personal record.

These exchanges had always been a highlight for Kunpeng High School, serving as an excellent means of publicity and to boost student morale. The events were taken seriously by both the school and the students, and received significant external attention as well. @@novelbin@@

Especially since there had been an impressive record set by Lu Xi, who single-handedly took on five people from the opposing school. Even though several years had passed since then, many students still saw him as a role model. Every mention of Lu Xi was met with boundless admiration.

However, perhaps due to increasingly strong competitors, they had failed to clinch the title for two consecutive years.

But these were secondary concerns. The main issue lay in Lu Mian’s record… which was too “dark”!

Her past academic performance was dreadful with fighting and truancy among her transgressions.

With the national physics competition finals looming, Ding Cai had always thought about adding something to her record. When universities reviewed her application, it would certainly look better!

This time, the exchange meeting was an excellent opportunity.

Having said his piece, Lu Mian roughly got the idea. She pointed at herself with self-awareness: “I’m not disciplined enough to be the representative.”

Getting into a fight would just mean another heap of trouble.

“But you excel in your studies, and you have a good image!” Ding Cai hurried a couple of steps ahead, “Also, this year is quite special. The visiting school’s team is from Jinjing Era High School. I heard that among the students coming this time, there’s one who plays Go really well…”

Lu Mian became even more detached at the mention of Go; she stopped walking and grinned.

“Mr. Ding, why not ask Su Luo? I have my eye on her.”

Ding Cai: “…”

Her resume is dazzling, you know! The kind that sparkles!

And you, with your shoddy record, don’t you want to be recommended for university admission anymore?

Lu Mian looked at Ding Cai’s disgruntled expression and felt helpless. Why did everyone have such big grievances?
