30: Join the school team

Not long after, Zhao Sheng called Lin Shu into his office.

“Lin Shu, congratulations on making it onto the School Team.”

“Go over to the Principal's office in a bit; there's something that needs to be done.”

Zhao Sheng was all smiles, looking at Lin Shu with increasing fondness.

This student was truly the best one he had ever taught.

“Thank you, Teacher. I'll head to the Principal's office now.”

“Go on.”

Lin Shu immediately left the office and headed straight for the Principal's office without stopping.

The door was slightly ajar, allowing a glimpse of the scene inside.

The Principal was currently flipping through some documents.

They were the monthly exam results from other schools.

Almost every principal would have such Materials.

It was to understand the situation of other middle schools, and if they encountered any promising talents...

They could try to poach them for their own school.

As for Lin Shu, Pei Yuanfang had already put in a word for him long ago.

Pei Yuanfang still had some influence in Fengdu City.

Otherwise, Lin Shu would have long been surrounded by teachers from other schools.

He knocked twice and, upon receiving a response, walked inside.

Pei Yuanfang had a smile on his face.

“Little Lin, come over here.”

“I've got something good to show you.”

Hearing this, Lin Shu walked forward quickly.

Pei Yuanfang took a contract out of his drawer and handed it over.

“This is a School Team contract. Take a look.”

“The template is basically the same across the country; except for the benefits, everything else is pretty much identical.”

“If you're worried, you can look it up online; it's all there. The school definitely won't cheat you.”

Pei Yuanfang was in no hurry, watching Lin Shu with a beaming smile.

Lin Shu read the contract carefully and found no issues.

There was no need to check online.

Seeing this, Pei Yuanfang grew even more satisfied; this kid was good.

There was very little information on the contract, and the terms were quite clear.

Roughly, after joining the School Team, one would need to follow the school's schedule and undergo certain training.

Then, they would participate in competitions in the school's name.

Regarding competition rewards, team events would be distributed based on contribution.

Individual events, however, would be kept entirely by the winner.

Finally, there were clauses regarding image; one must not tarnish or distort the school's image.

Aside from these, there wasn't much else.

Overall, it was very relaxed, with no overly mandatory requirements.

Lin Shu's gaze shifted to the benefits column.

School Team members would receive a weekly cash subsidy of ten thousand yuan.

In addition, there were 5 bottles of Advanced Nutritional Supplements every week.

Lin Shu had looked into the subsidies for the School Team Reserves.

The cash was three thousand yuan a week, and the Advanced Nutritional Supplements were 2 bottles a week.

His benefits seemed to already be higher than those of the official members.

Lin Shu understood that the Principal had stepped in again to increase his benefits.

Seeing Lin Shu's expression, Pei Yuanfang spoke in a very relaxed tone.

“For talented students, the school will naturally do its best to help.”

Looking at Pei Yuanfang gratefully, Lin Shu finished reading the entire contents.

“Thank you, Principal. I've finished reading; I can sign.”

Pei Yuanfang then took out a fountain pen and handed it to him.

He signed it quickly and efficiently.

Then, he put the contract away.

“In a moment, you can head over to the School Team's area to familiarize yourself.”

“For a long time to come, you'll be spending your time there.”

After putting away the contract, Pei Yuanfang said this.

Lin Shu nodded in response.

He was also quite curious about the School Team.

“By the way, regarding the subsidy, I'll have Teacher Zhao give it to you every week.”

“Alright, go take a look at the School Team; I happen to have some matters to attend to here.”

“Understood, Principal. Then I'll be going now.”

After speaking, Lin Shu walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

Inside the Principal's office, Pei Yuanfang stared at the top students from other schools.

Except for a few top-tier middle schools, he didn't take any of them seriously.

“Let you all be arrogant for one more year; next year, I'll show you!”

Pei Yuanfang muttered to himself while staring at the data.

...

Leaving the teaching building, Lin Shu followed the path toward the back of the school.

The School Team's training grounds were located there.

This was something many students in the school knew.

At the entrance of the equipment room, a man was already waiting.

It seemed the Principal had already informed him.

The man looked very young, probably around thirty years old.

He wore a blue checkered shirt and white trousers.

Wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, he exuded a bit of handsomeness.

Seeing Lin Shu approach, he stepped forward to greet him.

“Hello, are you Lin Shu?”

As he spoke, he extended a hand.

Seeing this, Lin Shu also reached out and shook his hand.

“Yes.”

“Welcome to the School Team. I am Xu Lihuang, the instructor for the Reserves from now on.”

“Hello, Teacher.”

“Let's go, I'll take you to get familiar with the School Team's environment.”

Xu Lihuang led Lin Shu on a stroll around the area.

They came to an open space where a three-story building stood.

The building had a very modern style.

It was composed of simple lines and large glass curtain walls.

Pointing at the building...

Xu Lihuang told Lin Shu the building's purpose.

“This is for the School Team and Reserves to live in.”

“After all, sometimes when training goes too late, you can stay here instead of going back.”

Lin Shu felt a bit of admiration; as expected of School Team members.

They were quite hardworking.

Xu Lihuang seemed to think of something and added more.

“By the way, once you enter the School Team, you must follow the rules here.”

“Whatever the others do for daily training, you do the same.”

Lin Shu found this quite normal; after all, since he took the school's resources, it was impossible not to put in some effort.

In any case, training at home or at school was the same.

His room was too small to move around freely, so this was much more convenient.

“No problem, Teacher Xu.”

Xu Lihuang nodded, then took a card out of his pocket.

He explained its functions to Lin Shu.

“This is the key to the room I reserved for you in advance.”

“The room number is on it. It's not just a room card; you can use it for places that require swiping, like turnstiles.”

“I've already entered your information in advance.”

Lin Shu took the room card and put it in his pocket.

Next, Xu Lihuang showed Lin Shu the entire grounds of the School Team base.

And he explained the functions.

“Normally, if your classes aren't very important, come to the base to train.”

“I'll talk to Brother Zhao about this. After all, you've entered the School Team, even if it's just as a reserve.”

“But training hard is a must; basically every School Team member started like this.”

“As for meals, you can still just eat at the cafeteria.”

“Come back here at eight tomorrow morning for training, and you can get to know the other seniors on the School Team while you're at it.”

“There's nothing else. You can head back to class for now.”

“Understood, Teacher. I'll head over there now.”

Hearing this, Lin Shu waved to Xu Lihuang and left.

He then returned to his classroom and continued with his academic lessons.
