Lu Junxiang laughed upon hearing this and humbly said, "Not at all, it's all thanks to the principal and the school."
...
After the match, Kuang Shiyi's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and a brilliant smile immediately spread across his face.
"You said, okay? Okay! Understood, we'll start preparing right away," he replied enthusiastically after picking up the call.
After hanging up, Kuang Shiyi turned to his teammates and said, "Let's go and have a dinner party; the principal said he'll come to cheer us on in person during our next match."
"And," Kuang Shiyi added with a secretive smile, "the principal has brought us some good news, which he'll announce during the dinner."
The celebration dinner was set at a nearby grand hotel, where the team members gathered around, basking in the joy of victory.
By coincidence, the team from Haiya High School they had just played against was seated not far from them, at the next table.
