Chapter 5 — Direct Admission Was Robbed, I Made My Daughter World Champion

After that confrontation, my world was finally completely quiet. Vuong Duc Phat. Or anyone from Experimental High School... They never appeared again. They don't dare. The recording was like the sword of Damocles hanging above their heads. Just fall down... Everything will be irreversible. Life is gradually getting back on track. During the day I handle company work. In my free time, I go to Khai Minh Academy to stay with Chu Niem. The baby's condition is getting better and better. In the national team, Chu Niem is like a fish in water. Being around people of the same age who are as intelligent as her... Her entire thinking seemed to be completely burned. Children can argue red-faced just over a physical model. We can also hug each other and scream loudly in the laboratory just because we have solved a world-class problem. That is a scene that has never existed at the Experimental School. There is always a very pure light on Chu Niem's face. The light belongs to those who truly love science. She finally found a path that truly belongs to her. As for those on the run... Little by little they are swallowing the bitter fruit they sowed. A week later, I received a strange call. Number in the city. I hesitated for a few seconds then picked up the phone. On the other end of the line was a very reserved female voice.

"May I ask... is Ms. Tham Thanh, Chu Niem's mother?"

“Hello, I am Ly Hao's mother.”

"Ly Hao... is Chu Niem's old classmate, a second-ranked student."

I was a bit surprised.

"Hello. May I ask what's the matter?"

“It's like this…” Her voice carried both guilt and awkwardness, “I know it's not appropriate to call and bother you at this time.”

“But I… really have no choice.”

“Now the school is in complete chaos.”

From her words, I gradually pieced together the current situation of Experimental High School. Since the exam that month... The entire twelfth grade was immersed in an extremely strange atmosphere. Good students lose their goals and begin to doubt themselves. Students often lose people to compare themselves to and gradually become obscure. The learning atmosphere has dropped dramatically. Vuong Duc Phat held several class meetings to revive student spirit. But it's completely useless. What's worse... It's Ton Nhue. After the school verbally promised to return the direct admission to Chu Niem, which Chu Niem publicly refused... That direct admission immediately turned into a hot potato. If he continues to give it to Ton Nhue... With his current pathetic performance, no one can convince him. But if it is transferred to someone else... It means completely offending the Ton family. The school's leadership met several times in a row but still could not make a decision. Ton Nhue's spirit completely collapsed. She started skipping school. Falling asleep in class. Even arguing and having conflicts with classmates. The teacher's "favorite"... Turned into the biggest joke in the whole grade. As for Luu Van... After I beat him to pieces right under the apartment that day... He never appeared at school again.

“Sister Tham…” Ly Hao's mother's voice was full of pleading, “I know this request is too much.”

“But you can…”

“Can Chu Niem come back and share his learning experience with the children once?”

“Or just record a video.”

“The kids now…”

“Really the need for a role model.”

“They need to know…”

“What the landscape at the top of the mountain actually looks like.”

I was silent. I understand a mother's anxiety. I cannot agree.

“Sorry, Ly Hao's mother.”

I spoke softly, but my attitude was extremely determined.

“Chu Niem is currently participating in the national team's closed training course.”

"All communication devices have been confiscated, no contact with the outside is allowed."

“That's the rule.”

“Ah… so that's it…”

The disappointment in the woman's voice was clear over the phone.

“But…” I slowly changed my tone, “I can give you some advice.”

“What advice?”

“Instead of letting children keep their heads up and look at a model that has left…”

“It's better to let them become new models themselves.”

“The truly strong person is not someone who only knows how to follow the light of others.”

“But the one who turns himself into light.”

After hanging up the phone, my heart was completely calm. Everyone has to pay the price for their own choices. Students choose to be silent. Teachers choose benefits. Parents choose to rely on authority. So today's outcome... Is what they deserve. A few days later, even bigger news simultaneously broke out in the city's education and business circles. Khai Minh construction materials company run by Ton Nhue's father - Ton Khai Minh - was exposed to huge tax violations. At the same time, there was also a commercial bribery case related to project bidding many years ago. The evidence is extremely clear.
