66: Wolf in sheep's clothing

Wolf in sheep's clothing

Director Guo had been provoked by him. Hence, he decided to lead the team personally.2

On the side, Mr. Liao was sweating buckets.

Every time these two individuals met, they were at loggerheads.

He couldn't just watch it happen.

He hastily smoothed things out. "Director Guo, Director Liu. Shall we talk on the way there?"

"Let's go." Director Guo nodded his head.

Director Liu saw Qin Yan when they were on the way. She looked beautiful but this was the first time he saw her. Other than Qiao Qing and Qin Yan, he was familiar with all the other students.

Other students were all straight-A students and they participated in some or other competitions. He even recognised Han Jun not for his grades but by his family.

He was surprised that Shengyang had sent him here. As much as he knew, Han Jun was a famous bully. But he couldn't provoke him so he focussed on other students.

Qiao Qing did not attract much attention, so Director Liu was naturally attracted by Qin Yan.

"Eh, who is this student, Director Guo? Why haven't I seen her before?" Director Liu asked while pointing towards Qin Yan.

"Hello, Director Liu, my name is Qin Yan." Qin Yan flashed the most innocent smile she could manage and replied obediently.

Director Liu asked, "Are you competing?"

"Oh, I'm not sure if I'll be sent to the competition grounds but I lack experience compared with the other students, and I certainly have a lot more to learn," Qin Yan said humbly. "Our teachers always say that I have a long way to go. They always encourage me to study more."

Everyone from Shengyang High school: "…"

Director Guo: "…"

Had they misunderstood Qin Yan?

This girl was actually so good at acting like a wolf in sheep's clothing?

However, with this comment, Director Guo really was having a hard time not yelling out to Qin Yan.

'Good acting!'

'Qin Yan, play them to the best of your ability!'

Director Guo had a very good impression of Qin Yan. Also because she was now considered as the dark horse of Shengyang high school, he especially focussed on her.

Han Jun and the rest of the team kept staring at Qin Yan. They couldn't believe what they were hearing.

If they had been ignorant of Qin Yan's true capabilities, they would have really fallen for what she was saying.

Right in front of their eyes, Qin Yan had plastered a tender, docile smile on her face. She was speaking so unhurriedly and so softly. Yet, at the same time, she had uttered such deceptive words to Director Liu.

Han Jun and the team were starting to have existential doubts.

Was this the Qin Yan that they knew?

Qin Muran gritted her teeth in hatred. 'What a bitch! She had lied straight to Director Liu's face! How bold of her!'

Qin Muran always felt that Qin Yan had done everything deliberately. She had pretended to be a bad student till start and revealed her colours only at the time of college entrance exams.

Qin Yan smiled at the looks on other students' faces. She was in a good mood today and decided to play for sometime.

Director Liu wasn't a stupid person. However, Qin Yan's expressions were so deceptive.

So Director Liu believed her. Qin Yan was here to learn.

What's more, Qin Yan's reputation hadn't spread far and wide yet.

Qin Muran and Jing Zhao were currently the most well-known members of the team.

"That's true. This is definitely a good learning opportunity." Director Liu chuckled. "Director Guo must really have looked favorably on you, since he gave you a spot on the team just so you could learn."

Every competing team had a cap of ten members.

Shengyang High school had sent a total of ten people. There weren't any substitutes.

Director Liu had been thinking hard about the situation, and he had deduced that there were two possibilities. First, Shengyang High school was lacking in talented students to compete. Second, they were extremely confident in their members and didn't need substitutes.

However, judging from the fact that a student was taking up a spot just to learn, Director Liu felt pretty sure that the former deduction was more likely.

He wasn't trying to be arrogant. Jixia Academy had won so many times that he had naturally become quite confident. Director Liu was the director of Jixia Academy in capital.

Qin Muran and Jing Zhao were the only students who had competed in the past.

However, Director Liu had a good grasp of their typical performance.

Compared to Muran and Zhao, the rest were clearly weaker candidates.

This year, victory was imminent.

"Since you're already here, you shouldn't waste this spot." Director Liu smiled at Qin Yan. "Since you're here, you should participate in the competition, even if it means just getting a taste of the competitive atmosphere we enjoy in this competition."

Director Liu then decided to give some advice to Director Guo. "Since you've already given her a spot on the team, you should let her have some actual practice. Otherwise, it'll be quite a waste if you don't use your slot. Losing is nothing to be embarrassed about. It's not like it's your first time losing. Training your students should still be the main focus, right?"

This time, Director Guo didn't seem angry. He chuckled instead, "Hee, hee, hee."

'This girl you are talking about is our killing machine!'

"I share the same sentiments." Director Guo seized his opportunity to agree. "It's true that she's come all this way. It doesn't matter what the results of this competition are. It is important for her to experience the process. At the same time, I can test the results of our teaching aptitude."

Everyone from Shengyang High school: "…"

Director Guo, you have also been led astray.

Initially, he would have reacted like a porcupine whenever he saw Director Liu. They were always at loggerheads.

He would never give way to Director Liu in this manner.

Yet, this time, he had intentionally acted weak in front of his opponent.
