Before, they had even agreed to have dinner together after confirming the student list. However, when the three sets of exam papers were opened and all of them held Shi Jin's name, the three of them almost got into a fight. Their years of friendship had almost been ruined.
It seemed like they would not be able to have dinner together anymore.
Their battlefields changed one after another until they reached Second High School, but there was still no result.
Everyone wanted Shi Jin to join their national team and train with them.
Principal Lu also had a headache. He watched as the three of them argued all the way from the school gate to the office, refusing to give in to each other.
He understood how difficult it was for the three of them. The International Olympiad had always been cruel. With a potential competitor, how could the teachers give up?
"Can the three of you discuss this properly? Shi Jin still has class later. There's no time to waste," Principal Lu said loudly.
When they heard that, they were afraid of affecting Shi Jin's education, and the three of them instantly fell silent and looked at the principal.
Principal Lu said, "Let's leave the decision to Shi Jin."
The three teachers looked at each other and knew that this was the only solution. They said in unison, "Okay, let's see how Shi Jin chooses!"
"Shi Jin, what do you think? Out of the teams, which do you choose?" Principal Lu asked.
Only then did Shi Jin open her eyes slightly. "All of them." This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Principal Lu had been drinking from a teacup to moisten his throat when he heard Shi Jin's words. He immediately spat out a mouthful of tea.
Teacher Fang, Teacher Xia, and Teacher Wu widened their eyes and looked at Shi Jin in disbelief.
Teacher Wu coughed and said, "Shi Jin, you have to participate in a lot of training for the national team competition. It'll be very difficult. So far, we have never had a student participate in two teams in the international competition."
Teacher Xia agreed. "I know that in domestic competitions, there are some top students who participate in two or even three competitions at the same time, but international competitions and domestic competitions are not the same."
Teacher Fang also shrugged, completely agreeing with their point of view.
Otherwise, the three of them wouldn't have argued to this extent.
There was no such precedent, and it was hard to imagine that a student could handle so many things at once. Especially when she... had a job in the entertainment industry.
"I think it's possible." Shi Jin's voice had many subtleties to it. When discussing serious matters, it would be extremely light and contain a firm attitude. While it was hard to ignore her, it was also hard to reject her.
Ji Huan stood up and walked over to Shi Jin's seat. "I
think Shi Jin can do it too."
Principal Lu slowly wiped his chin and said, "What do you teachers say?"
The three teachers thought for a while and discussed it again. They tried to warn her, "It's better not to bite off more than you can chew. With Shi Jin's talent, if she focuses on one aspect, she'll definitely beat those traditional strong teams. But if she participates in all three and gets distracted..."
They were worried that Shi Jin would not get the results she deserved.
When Shi Jin heard this, she said calmly, "Then forget it." "No, no, no..." The three teachers panicked immediately. How could Shi Jin not participate?
The three teachers immediately gathered together to discuss. Finally, they closed their eyes and gritted their teeth. "Alright, let's go together!"
Although they had solved the internal problem of the three of them being united, the three teachers could not help but shake their heads when they thought of how Shi Jin would have to deal with the three teams.
Based on their expectations, Shi Jin should have been the champion of one of the competitions.
But now, even though Shi Jin could achieve pretty good results in all three, it would just be 'not bad'. She would still be far from the top.
This didn't conform to the strategy of a competitive match.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Ji Huan said, "Then let Shi Jin go back to class first."
"We still want to talk to Shi Jin about the specific arrangements..." The three teachers could not bear for Shi Jin to leave immediately.
They still had a lot to talk to her about. At the same time, they wanted to understand more about her interest in various subjects so that they could carry out more targeted training.
Ji Huan pulled Shi Jin behind her and said, "You guys need to discuss those arrangements in detail with Shi Jin's manager."
The three teachers were speechless.

At 9 PM, Wen Yongwei's draft was released.
"The talented Wen Yongwei has won first prize in the National Mathematical Olympiad!"
The fans who had been waiting for a long time were overjoyed.
Seeing this blinding first prize, the fans felt honored, as if they had also won.
There was nothing more blissful than being a fan of such a talented idol.
Fans not only had to compare themselves with each other, but they also had to look down on each other. Fans who had such an idol not only had the confidence to say it out loud, they even dared to tell their parents that they were chasing celebrities!
This honor was something that other fans did not have.
The fans reposted it crazily, and stars were glittering in their eyes. "Little Rose is really a literary and music star from heaven. She's a natural genius. In a competition like the Mathematical Olympiad that I can't even understand, to be able to get first prize is really too amazing!"
"I knew that my idol was the best in the world!"
"Not only does she have good looks and a good family background, but also such talent and ability. How can ordinary people like us even live? She's so superior!"
"Does first prize mean she came first? Please explain!"
"Previous poster, not exactly. In a national competition like this, the 'first prize' is usually the prize for the top five percent of the finalists. I heard that there are more than three hundred people participating in the Mathematical Olympiad finals, so the top twenty are all first prize winners."
"Thank you! That's impressive too. After all, it's a national competition! Besides, who can say that our Little Rose is not the first?"
Gradually, word spread that Wen Yongwei was first. The fans were also congratulating Wen Yongwei on getting first place.
Neither Wen Yongwei nor Kang Cheng stepped forward to explain. These small details were not important.
Someone thought of Shi Jin, who had participated in the competition at the same time, and asked, "What about Shi Jin's results? Didn't she take the exam with Wen Yongwei?"
Passerby: "There's no news from Shi Jin. I wonder what's going on."
Passerby: "I don't think she did well, right? Usually, those who don't do well won't show their results."
Shi Jin's fans: "But our Little Stone never advertised that she would take the exam. The competition is about participation, understand?"
The anti-fans: "Hahahahahahaha, what a good 'participation'. Is she too ashamed to show her face? That's right, with Shi Jin's results, how could she have the cheek to participate in the competition?"
Shi Jin's fans weren't willing to carry on the fight. After defending her for a while, they stopped talking.
Actually, it was impossible to say that they weren't disappointed. Who wouldn't want their idol to be glorious? Especially when there was always one person as a comparison.
However, everyone quickly adjusted their attitudes and accepted everything.
If you like someone, you have to accept everything about them, right? Besides, it wasn't like everyone became her fan because of her grades!
First High School and Second High School had achieved good results in the competition this time.
The two schools were famous in the first place, and they boasted many top students. Those who could enter the finals, except for a few who had not performed well, basically all received at least three prizes.
