Xie Nan was very curious about who the principal was calling one by one.
It was certain that these calls were all related to Su Xiaotian.
Could it be that after knowing Su Xiaotian was wronged, they were here to support her?
Xie Nan couldn't help but look at Su Xiaotian a few more times.
It seemed this student was not simple!
Huo Sinian originally planned to call his classmates back, but since the principal asked him to wait, he obediently stayed.
"Teacher Huo, let's go!" Su Xiaotian, however, seemed unwilling to stay in the principal's office.
Things had already escalated enough today, and she didn't want to stay here any longer.
Since Jingcheng University was such a school, what was wrong with giving up?
It had to be said that this was the confidence that a fourteen-year-old university student possessed. Even if she retook the college entrance examination, she would only be eighteen or nineteen upon graduation, which was the age when others were attending university.
"Wait, since the principal asked us to wait, we should at least respect the principal!" Huo Sinian said, his eyes fixed on Xiao Yuanyang.
He actually wanted to know what kind of expression Xiao Yuanyang would have if he knew who had made these calls.
Xiao Yuanyang was too agitated today, to the point that he didn't notice the principal becoming increasingly nervous while on the phone.
Moreover, the principal's gaze kept drifting towards Su Xiaotian.
Xiao Yuanyang was not usually an inattentive person, but he was truly too excited today, causing him to overlook these details.
Thinking that both Huo Sinian and Su Xiaotian might leave the school, he became excessively agitated.
As everyone was lost in their own thoughts, the principal finally hung up the phone.
He took a deep breath and, before walking towards Su Xiaotian, he glanced at the phone again.
He wondered if there would be another call.
Fortunately, the phone did not ring, and he successfully walked up to Su Xiaotian.
"Student Su Xiaotian, this time, it was the school's mistake that caused you to be wronged. I apologize to you on behalf of the school, and I will also deal with the relevant personnel to prevent similar problems from happening in the future!"
Everyone was stunned by the principal's sudden and solemn apology to Su Xiaotian.
What was going on?
Almost everyone was pondering in their hearts.
Student A: "..."
Was the principal really this approachable?
Student B: "..."
The treatment of a top student was indeed different!
Student C: "..."
The principal was still the principal, willing to lower his stance to retain excellent students!!
Teacher Xie Nan: "..."
It seemed the people who called were not ordinary! Should I ask the principal?
Xiao Yuanyang: "..."
Did the principal take the wrong medicine? For such a small matter, it escalated to the point of disciplinary action?
Huo Sinian: "..."
If it had been like this earlier, wouldn't it have been better?
The principal looked at Su Xiaotian, who remained silent, and became increasingly anxious.
"Student Xiaotian, during the previous discussion, it was confirmed that you are the flag bearer for the school's formation. It was due to the staff's mistake that you were wronged. If you wish to participate in the school's formation, we will update the list immediately. If you are unwilling..."
The principal looked deeply at Su Xiaotian as he said this.
Su Xiaotian did not know if she was willing or unwilling at this moment.
She naturally wanted to participate in the National Day military parade, and she believed everyone would want to, as it represented great honor.
However, the attitude of the vice-principal and the principal earlier had made Su Xiaotian hesitate.
"Principal, Xiaotian is naturally willing, right, Xiaotian?" Zhao Hongmei finally recovered from her shock.
The principal had already adopted the appropriate attitude, and Xiaotian could return to the formation, so there was no reason for her to be unwilling.
Hearing Zhao Hongmei's words, a glint flashed in the principal's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
There was already a rift between Jingcheng University and this child because of these matters.
He wondered if it could ever be mended in the future.
This young girl had just mentioned that she was going to retake the college entrance examination.
He, however, felt that if he truly allowed this student to withdraw from Jingcheng University, perhaps three, four, five, or six top universities would immediately recruit Su Xiaotian.
There would be no need to retake the exams, and all problems would be solved.
"Principal, are the calls you just received related to me?" Su Xiaotian asked tentatively.
As soon as she asked this, everyone turned their gaze to the principal.
The principal was flustered and even somewhat at a loss.
He had witnessed many grand occasions in his life, but he was so overwhelmed by the atmosphere at this moment that he didn't know how to speak.
"Principal, could it be that these calls are all invitations for student Su Xiaotian to participate in the ceremony?"
Huo Sinian said this with a mischievous smile.
As Huo Sinian said this, everyone's expression became solemn.
How could that be possible?
"Teacher Huo, don't joke. She's just a little girl!" Xiao Yuanyang felt that this was impossible no matter what.
Three calls in such a short period, inviting her to participate in the ceremony?
Who did she think she was?
However, just as Xiao Yuanyang finished speaking, the principal nodded.
"Teacher Huo, you are correct."
Xiao Yuanyang was completely dumbfounded.
Huo Sinian was right?
"Student Xiaotian, the first call was from the Agricultural University, sincerely inviting you to participate in their formation." The principal spoke with a heavy tone and a mortified expression.
The principal of the Agricultural University had very seriously asked him to agree to let student Su Xiaotian join their formation, and even said that if there were any conflicts, he would owe Jingcheng University a favor!
He didn't even dare to mention that Su Xiaotian was not on their publicly announced list.
The crowd did not know what the principal was thinking, but they were extremely surprised.
The matter of participating in the National Day military parade formation had a significant impact during this period.
This time, six universities in Beijing had received quotas for the hundred-person formation, and Jingcheng University was one of them, as was the Agricultural University.
It was heard that the Agricultural University's formation would be assessed based on their contributions to agriculture.
But regardless of how the formation was chosen, their own students were not enough to fill the quotas, so how could they give them to students from other universities?
Xiao Yuanyang's first reaction was that he must have misheard.
It was absolutely impossible. If a student from another university joined the Agricultural University's formation, the principal's office of the Agricultural University would likely be even more chaotic than this principal's office.
All the students could storm into the principal's office.
But what the principal said next made Xiao Yuanyang even more bewildered.
"The second call was from the Ministry of Agriculture. They said there was a 'Bountiful Harvest' float, composed of sixty-six agricultural scientists from three generations – old, middle-aged, and young – from across the country. Twenty-six agricultural scientists have jointly invited you to participate!"
The "Bountiful Harvest" float?
Everyone gasped in unison!
Participating in a formation and appearing on a float had completely different meanings.
One was a formal appearance, while the other was just a cameo, wasn't it?
