Ms. Wu nodded, "Yes, for you to participate."
Given Chu Jin's previous performance, it was virtually a fantasy to have her participate in the triennial English speech competition.
Liu Yike was the principal's daughter, and held a high status in the school. Even some teachers had to give her face, otherwise upsetting her could lead to the risk of being fired by the school.
Ms. Wu couldn't afford to offend her, so she had no choice but to agree to Liu Yike's unreasonable request.
But in front of the class honor, Ms. Wu couldn't compromise completely and allow others to look down on Class Ten.
Because of the test paper Chu Jin had previously turned in, Ms. Wu had some expectations of her and harbored a bit of wishful thinking.
So, she had called Chu Jin over to probe her real capabilities.
If Chu Jin really was a hopeless case, then she would find a way to make her drop out voluntarily, which would be better than losing face in front of all the teachers and students.
