When the head of the Educational Bureau called all the principals of the key high schools in Xihai City to a meeting, everyone had a pretty good idea of what was going on, and some had already caught wind of what was about to be discussed.
But when it came to this issue, everyone's attitude was quite delicate.
The Educational Bureau of Xihai City indeed had a mission to compete with Ning City, another major educational city in the province, so they needed to put on a strong collective performance during the exams.
However, it was a different story for the high schools within the city.
For instance, No. 1 High School and No. 4 High School, although both had the chance to compete for the provincial top scholar, they were more eager to secure the city top scholar as a baseline, so they were not looking as far ahead to compete directly with Ning City's Sea High School and the Affiliated High School.
