The Principal could not help shaking his head when he saw how confident Huo Yao was.
He recalled something and said, “I know the city level National Quiz Contest result will only get released in a couple of days, but I’m certain you’ll clear it with flying colours. Next es the national level contest. I found out that it will probably take place next weekend. Tsinghua University and the Education Association will be the organizers, and the contest will take place in the capital. The heats and finals will take place one after another, and the results will be released on the spot.”
Huo Yao’s eyes glinted when she heard the contest would take place in the capital. She stood up and said, “Alright. Then I’m going back to class.”
“Mhm. Go on and study hard,” said the Principal waving his hand. A thought crossed his mind, and he added hastily. “Don’t forget about the English oral petition. I’m sure you have a strong mand on spoken English.”
Huo Yao halted and turned to look at the Principal with a plicated expression on her face. He was smiling profoundly. Although she was curious about how he came to know about this, she changed her mind about probing him on it.
A $100,000 scholarship.
Since Huo Yao’s father had just splurged on an extravagant luxury Rolls-Royce, she ought to give him a gift to congratulate him on the new car.
The poverty, which Huo Yao had been expecting, was no more applicable. In the end, her plotline experienced such a major turn around.

Huo Xiang planned on resting at home for a while, but the upper management unexpectedly caught wind about his injuries and asked him to e to the office.
Meanwhile, in Tong Yu’s cabin.
Tong Yu said with a livid face, “Who the hell told them about your injuries? I had blocked the news!”
Though there was nothing wrong with his singing, his inability to offer electrifying performances spelled the end of his career as an artist.
No talent agency would support an artist, who could not generate profits, even if Huo Xiang was already a top celebrity.
Huo Xiang sat in the chair. His face was pallid, and he was visibly unwell. He stared at the table coldly and said after a long time, “Tell them the truth. There’s no need to hide it from them.”
“Are you insane? If you admit to your injuries, what’s going to happen to your career?” retorted Tong Yu softly.
The higher management had already spoken to Tong Yu, but he insisted there was nothing wrong with Huo Xiang. He had claimed that Huo Xiang was only exhausted and would not be making any appearances for the time being!
Huo Xiang raised his head and looked at Tong Yu. He had already abandoned himself to despair and said self-deprecatingly, “Do you think I still have a future?”
“Why not? Even though you can’t dance, your voice is perfectly fine. Moreover, you are an unsurpassable songwriter.”
Huo Xiang veered his face away.
Tong Yu slammed the table disappointedly for his lack of resilience and said, “Do you have to be so proud? Do you really want to get replaced by some other artist in the pany?”
Right then, someone came knocking on the door.
Tong Yu wanted to say more but quickly restrained himself when he heard the knock. He walked over to the door but suddenly turned towards Huo Xiang before opening it.
“Huo Xiang, don’t breathe a word about this to anyone. I will handle it!”
Then he opened the door.
