Zhou Chen looked at Xia Chen with a dark and inscrutable expression, as if trying to discern something from him.
Xia Chen didn’t care, but Liu Hua felt something eerie.
She nudged Xia Wan’s arm, “What’s with Zhou Chen staring at your brother like that? Is he plotting something bad again?”
Xia Wan glanced at Zhou Chen and said nonchalantly, “With his brains, he can’t come up with anything new.”
Liu Hua was stunned for a moment, then burst into loud laughter.
Her laughter drew the attention of others in the class, snapping Zhou Chen back to reality.
He withdrew his gaze and his hand under the table, fiddling with something unknown.
The second training class arrived soon, amid great anticipation from the boys.
As Teacher Lin entered the school auditorium, she saw pairs of eyes fixedly staring at her.
She smiled, “Everyone’s here early today!”
At this point, Zhou Chen spoke, “Teacher Lin, since it’s not time yet, could you chat with us?”
Teacher Lin smiled broadly at Zhou Chen, “Sure!”
Zhou Chen was overjoyed, “Teacher Lin, how come your foreign language skills are so good? Is it because you lived abroad for a long time?”
“Oh? How do you know I lived abroad for a long time?” Teacher Lin asked
Zhou Chen, full of self-satisfaction, said, “Because your manners and the way you speak are completely different from the girls here. You look generous and well-dressed, giving a pleasing and enjoyable impression.”
Zhou Chen’s words immediately provoked protests from the other girls.
“Zhou Chen, what do you mean! Compliment Teacher Lin, but why compare her to us?”
“Exactly! Even if Teacher Lin has her strengths, what’s wrong with us?”
“You’re just blind! How dare you comment on us!”
The girls’ protests were met with mockery from the boys.
“Why are you so upset? It’s not a big deal! Don’t you girls also like to compare yourselves?”
“Right! I think Zhou Chen is right! You’re overestimating yourselves, comparing to Teacher Lin! ”
As the class was stirring up a fuss, Teacher Lin immediately intervened, “Alright! We can discuss this in a separate class or maybe even have a debate.
What do you think?”
Her suggestion immediately silenced everyone in the class.
After all, debating in a foreign language was challenging, and few in the room could handle it.
The class quieted down, and Teacher Lin started the training class as originally planned.
Halfway through the training, several people suddenly burst into the auditorium.
Everyone was startled and looked up to see the principal walking in with a few people.
Teacher Lin, surprised, quickly inquired about the situation.
The principal scanned the attendees and said to Teacher Lin, “Teacher Lin, I have another candidate here. Please take good care of him.”
The principal gestured with his hand, and the person behind him stepped forward, smiling at Teacher Lin. “Teacher Lin, I’ve heard so much about you!”
Teacher Lin nodded, although a bit puzzled as to why suddenly there was an additional person. But as it was a training session, one more person wouldn’t matter much.
However, the fact that this person was brought in by the principal and the director made her somewhat surprised.
“Alright, find a seat for yourself,” Teacher Lin said, gesturing to the new student to take a seat.
The principal coughed softly towards Teacher Lin, then said, “Teacher Lin, I
have something to discuss with you, please come outside with me.”
The two walked out of the auditorium, and the principal began, “Teacher Lin, this new student will need your special attention. He’s one of our key trainees.” Teacher Lin raised her eyebrows slightly.
According to what she had heard, wasn’t Xia Chen supposed to be the key trainee?
Why suddenly a change?
However, she didn’t voice her questions, just nodded, “Alright, I understand, principal. Don’t worry.”
The principal then smiled contentedly, “Truly a returnee from abroad, different from our local teachers, so insightful!”
The principal’s words sounded somewhat ironic to Teacher Lin, and she chuckled lightly, “Principal, I’ll go back to the class now.”
“Alright, alright! Go ahead with your work!” the principal repeated..
