Chapter 278 - Spoiled

“Are you going to participate in the business war?” Han Jingyu suddenly asked softly.

“Yup.” Sheng Yang didn’t hide it.

“I advise you not to participate.” Han Jingyu had participated in the business war in the last two years and witnessed a lot. He still remembered how Tian Kerui had gritted her teeth and decided to participate last year, but in the end… Not only did she do poorly but she was also ridiculed by those rich kids.

Sheng Yang didn’t grow up in a good environment. He was afraid she wouldn’t be able to handle it.

He slowly began to understand his own thought process now. Although he didn’t dare to approach her, he just wanted to silently protect her and hoped she wouldn’t get hurt.

Sheng Yang looked at him. “Got it.”

With that, she continued to walk toward the office.

Han Jingyu: “…”

A helpless smile appeared on his handsome face as he shook his head. It seemed that she didn’t take him seriously.

Sheng Yang walked into the office with the registration form. Chen Lan had the same opinion as Han Jingyu and suggested that she refrain from registering. “Sheng Yang, your grades are already very good. This kind of business war is pointless for you. It’ll just be a joke.”

In particular, the heirs in the Imperial Capital had a higher social standing than those in Yan City.

Sheng Yang was a good student. Couldn’t she just focus on her studies? Why did she have to do things she wasn’t good at?

Sheng Yang remained silent and merely stared at Chen Lan.

Here it was once again, this girl’s cute expression.

Chen Lan accepted the registration form silently. “Okay, I’ll sign you up.”

Sheng Yang glanced at the badges in her hand.

Chen Lan knew what she was going to ask. “There’s a limit to the number of people participating in the business war every year. If too many students register, the school will have to go through a selection process. The students who did well in the business war last year will get a badge.”

“I understand.”

After Sheng Yang left, Chen Lan breathed a sigh of relief and put an asterisk on her registration form.

There was no choice. Since Chen Lan spoiled Sheng Yang, she would try her best to recommend Sheng Yang so that she could participate in the business war.

At this time, Li Mei happened to walk over. She had been quiet and kept a low profile lately, probably because she had suffered a loss. However, when she saw the registration form on Chen Lan’s desk and saw the asterisk Chen Lan drew, she finally found a chance to speak and cried out in surprise. “Ms. Chen, what are you thinking? How could you recommend such a person to participate in the competition? I admit Sheng Yang is very talented in her studies, but if you do this, it’ll be a disgrace to our school and drag our school’s reputation down.”

Seeing that Chen Lan wasn’t responding, Li Mei continued to say dejectedly, “You have to prioritize when it comes to these things. You’re a math teacher. I don’t blame you for not understanding this, but I suggest you take my advice.”

Chen Lan lifted her head. It was fine whenever Li Mei chided her, but Chen Lan couldn’t tolerate her talking smack about her student. She smiled. “Ms. Li, you don’t have to worry about this. Just worry about your own class.”

Li Mei was at a loss for words and walked to her desk. As she made her way over, she complained in a low voice, “Haha, some people are really stubborn. Your students only got first place a few times. When the students in my class got first place, you were still in school yourself. Don’t you know how luck works?”
