Meanwhile, after their embarrassment at the parent-teacher conference, Mu Tangxue and Mama Mu kept quiet about things. None of them were brave enough to tell Papa Mu since Mu Tangxue's grades were nothing to brag about and Mama Mu was humiliated at the meeting.
When Papa Mu asked, Mu Tangxue told him that the teacher did not actually announce which student would be receiving the recommendation. Moreover, after having eavesdropped on Mu Qiqi when she refused the recommendation, Mu Tangxue dropped hints to her father that he could help her secure it.
Even if Mu Tangxue's grades were not particularly outstanding, her many participation awards in various competitions meant that it would not be too difficult for her to get the recommendation as long as the teacher would not play favorites. Naturally, one of the conditions for that was for Papa Mu to speak to the school.
