Chapter 28, Catfish Effect

The seventh class is over.

The effect of the "memory capsule" has ended.

After studying for more than two hours, Shen Qiushan stretched, then stood up and left the classroom to go to the toilet.

"I heard that the athletes are going to challenge that old man from Class 5!"

"Also, which athlete is that? Gao Bin? He seems to be the only athlete who's good at studying!"

"No! It's the athletes! All the athletes, they said they want to fight for the glory of athletes!"

"These gym students are crazy! Why are they competing with an old man? They are bullying him!"

"Everyone says that Mr. Deng's English is really good. These athletes might not be able to win!"

"I don't think so. He's old, and no matter what, he can't compare to us young people!"

"."

Shen Qiushan, who was squatting in the toilet, passively accepted a wave of news.

As for the fact that the athletes wanted to challenge themselves, he was also a little speechless.

Sure enough, only little brats can do such childish things!
However, from another perspective, this may be the charm of youth.

Dare to make trouble.

Willing to work hard.

There is still energy to toss!
But once you get older, many things will give you a headache just by thinking about them, so how can you have the energy to do anything?
When he returned to the classroom, Shen Qiushan's butt was not even on the chair.

Gao Bin, Xu Zhishuai and several other sports students came to the door of Class 3-5.

"Wu Ruohan, help me call Uncle Shen!"

Gao Bin nodded at Wu Ruohan who was sitting in the first row.

Obviously, the two knew each other.

Since he had already seen Gao Bin and the others, Shen Qiushan walked out without Wu Ruohan saying anything: "What's the matter?"

"Uncle Shen, we are both on the school sports team, and Shen Yixiao and I are teammates. We heard that you have a very large English vocabulary, and we would like to learn from you."

Gao Bin said, and took out an envelope and handed it to Shen Qiushan: "Uncle Shen, this is an invitation!"

"Wow, there's an invitation!"

Shen Qiushan took the envelope with a smile, opened it and took a look. Inside was indeed an invitation letter in a relatively formal format.

Dear Uncle Shen:
Hello!

We are honored to extend our sincere invitation to you to participate in the English Vocabulary Competition to be held on the first floor of the school cafeteria at 5:00 PM next Monday.

The purpose of this competition is to promote English communication among students, improve English vocabulary reserves, and help with the upcoming college entrance examination.

We sincerely hope that you will accept the invitation and join this exciting event.

Sender: All senior high school students in the sports department

After reading the invitation, Shen Qiushan smiled and nodded: "OK, I will definitely be there on time!"

"Okay, Uncle Shen."

"Then let's make an agreement!"

Gao Bin originally thought that Shen Qiushan would think about it before giving an answer, but he was surprised that he agreed so readily.

"It's a word."

Shen Qiushan smiled and nodded, then returned to the classroom with the invitation letter.

After delivering the "declaration of war", Gao Bin and others quickly left the teaching building and returned to the training ground.

"Uncle Shen, can you let me see the invitation?"

Wu Ruohan, who had long been unable to suppress her gossipy heart, asked in a low voice when Shen Qiushan walked past her seat.

"Let's take a look."

Shen Qiushan slammed the envelope directly on Wu Ruohan's desk.

I laughed in my heart: Children are just very curious.

"Squad leader, can you lend it to me?"

"Squad leader, I want to see it too."

“I’m watching too, I’m watching too!!”

In an instant, the classmates in the class surrounded Wu Ruohan.

Because so many people gathered around, not everyone could see clearly, so Yan Lei, the English class representative, simply read aloud while watching.
"These athletes are quite polite. They even sent us an invitation!"

"This isn't an invitation, it's a declaration of war!"

"That's called courtesy before force. It seems these athletes aren't completely clueless."

"They actually took the initiative to challenge Uncle Shen. They really overestimate their own abilities!"

"The competition is next week, and I'm actually starting to look forward to it!"

"Haha, I want to see Uncle Shen wreak havoc and pound those gym students!"

"."

After reading the invitation letter, everyone immediately started talking, and at the same time, they all looked at Shen Qiushan intentionally or unintentionally.

However, at this moment, Shen Qiushan acted as if nothing had happened. He returned to his seat and picked up a history book to read.

Stay calm in the face of adversity!

This is the master!

Wu Ruohan, Yan Lei and other little kids couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

On the playground.

During the training break, Shen Yixiao was sitting behind the basketball hoop to enjoy the cool air.

Wang Yunpeng leaned against the basketball hoop, his eyes fixed on the direction of the teaching building: "Brother Xiao, do you think Uncle Shen would agree?"

Neither Shen Yixiao nor Wang Yunpeng were suitable to be in the team delivering the letter of challenge, so they did not follow.

"My dad is no wimp!"

"Even if he knew he would lose, he would probably agree."

Shen Yixiao gave his own judgment.

"Yeah, I think so too."

Wang Yunpeng echoed, and then he saw Gao Bin, Xu Zhishuai and others pushing and shoving each other out of the teaching building, almost everyone with a smile on their face.

"It seems that Uncle Shen really agreed!"

"I knew you would agree!"

"But, I have to really work hard next time. I don't want to lose to my dad again!"

Shen Yixiao stood up, a rare look of seriousness on his face.

"Well, I have to work hard too!"

"Don't lose to Uncle Shen!"

Wang Yunpeng clenched his fists tightly, his eyes showing determination.

"Ah Xiao, Uncle Shen has accepted the challenge."

"Next, we all have to work hard!"

Gao Bin returned to the playground and nodded solemnly to Shen Yixiao, then waved his arms and said, "Brothers, let's continue training!"

"Let's make some noise and let everyone know that we athletes are also studying hard!"

"OK!"

"rush!!"

"MD, I love English!"

Under Gao Bin's instigation, the hormone-filled athletes immediately started to recite English words.

At this moment, a business car stopped in front of the office building, and the principal Wang Guangqing and the director of the Academic Affairs Office Xu Decai got out of the car one after another.

In fact, the office building is quite far from the playground, but the noise made by the sports students was so loud that Wang Guangqing and Xu Decai heard it as soon as they got off the car.

At first, the two thought that some students were fighting on the playground, but after listening, they found that it was actually the sports students who were reciting words together.

"What happened to these guys?"

"What inspired this?"

Principal Wang Guangqing looked at the people around him in confusion.

But everyone looked confused. They had just returned from a meeting and had no idea what had happened in the school.

At this time, physical education teacher Bao Dandan just walked out of the office building. Wang Guangqing quickly waved at her: "Teacher Bao, what's going on with those brats?"

"Principal Wang, are you talking about the boys in the sports team?" Bao Dandan asked with a smile.

"Ah."

Wang Guangqing nodded. "You're usually so careless, why are you suddenly working so hard today?"

"They want to compete with Old Shen in English vocabulary!"

"We're trying to defend the honor of athletes. The competition is next week, so we're starting to work hard now."

Bao Dandan gave a brief explanation.

"Old Shen?"

"Which Old Shen?"

Wang Guangqing was bewildered. As the head of a school, he was very busy with work and had long forgotten that there was an older accompanying student in the senior year.

"The principal should be Shen Qiushan."

"I'm talking about the one I told you about."

Xu Decai quickly took over the conversation.

"Oh, that student's parent, right?"

After Xu Decai's reminder, Wang Guangqing finally remembered that he had accepted the red envelope after all.

"Yes, that's him."

Xu Decai nodded, then said to Bao Dandan, "Teacher Bao, can you tell me in detail what happened?"

"Why are these brats competing with Shen Qiushan in English vocabulary? What kind of competition is it, and where is it held?"

"Okay, then I'll tell you in detail, but some of it is just hearsay."

Bao Dandan immediately explained the background of the "father-son confrontation" and the current consequences, and also mentioned that Shen Qiushan had an extremely high level of English.

After hearing her story, Principal Wang Guangqing smiled. "I never thought Shen Qiushan would become the big catfish that activated the sports student community!"

Xu Decai quickly echoed: "Principal, your summary is absolutely right."

"When Teacher Bao was talking about this, I was wondering what this effect was called. After you mentioned it, I remembered that it was the catfish effect!"

Wang Guangqing smiled and nodded: "If the performance of these athletes can be improved, even a little bit, it will be a good thing!"

"Principal, since they're going to compete, should I say hello to the senior teachers and ask them to give them some support?"

Seeing that Principal Wang Guangqing was interested in this matter, Xu Decai immediately followed up.

"Then say hello."

As Wang Guangqing walked into the office building, he said, "For students with poor English grades, improving their vocabulary is the fastest way to improve their grades. So this kind of English vocabulary competition is worth promoting!"

"okay!"

"I'll be going to the senior year office in a minute!"

Xu Decai nodded repeatedly, and sighed silently in his heart: I didn’t expect that when I received a red envelope, I would receive a surprise!

 Thanks to [Poor Little Bear] for the 100-coin reward!
  If you have a recommendation ticket, please give me one, thank you~
