Chapter 12....
Even so, one should not downplay their achievements!
His favoritism might be exhibited to the others, but there was nothing wrong with that.
Chen Ming felt annoyed for a short while before he smiled again. He respectfully welcomed Chi Wei into the principal’s office.
…
In the office, besides the two of them, there was a woman who was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a neat suit. She was sitting on the office chair facing the main door. With just a glance, one could tell that she had dressed up specifically for this occasion.
Chi Wei and Chen Ming entered one after another and they locked eyes with the woman.
While Chi Wei did not have much of a reaction, Pei Shulan’s face was full of confusion.
Chi Wei politely greeted her.
Before this, she was called by Principal Chen. He said that he had something urgent to announce so had to arrive at school early.
Hence, Pei Shulan had no choice but to rush to the school. There were dark circles under her eyes. She had waited for an hour in the principal’s office but dared not complain!
Pei Shulan could only think about what important news it was that made the usually calm principal so nervous and excited. Could it be that he saw her recent achievements and wanted to reward her?
“Is this the crucial matter that you were talking about?” Pei Shulan asked tactfully, even though she was confused.
She gazed at Chi Wei as if she had a lot of questions to ask her.
To be honest, she did understand why the situation was of any importance.
An ordinary little girl who had spent money to enter the No. 1 high school was no big deal.
When the teachers learned that she was going to be in the twelfth grade, those who were in charge all became terrified.
Twelfth grade would be a hectic year for the students. They needed to learn and prepare as much as possible for the exams. If an illiterate person who grew up in the countryside suddenly entered the classroom, it would most probably lower the class’s average score and impact everyone else.
Pei Shulan felt a surge of emotion in her heart.
“Sorry to trouble you but…”
She wanted the principal to reconsider and transfer Chi Wei to another grade.
However, before Pei Shulan could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by a joyful Chen Ming.
“Miss Pei, in the future, if there’s anything that you don’t understand, you can consult Chi Wei.”
“Don’t worry, student Chi will teach you. She’s a very nice person. Experts from overseas who want to discuss academic matters with her had already queued up. You’re lucky to be able to cut in line.”
As he spoke, Chen Ming patted Pei Shulan’s back cheerfully.
Then, without giving Pei Shulan any time to react, he quickly turned his head and happily introduced her to Chi Wei.
“Weiwei, Pei Shulan will be your homeroom teacher. She’s still quite inexperienced. If she makes any mistake, you can directly point it out.”
“Of course, if she is too stubborn, then just give up. We can’t waste your precious time…”
…
???
“Even if the Chi family donated a lot of money, you can’t insult me like this!”
Pei Shulan lost her temper. She had been silent for a while, but she could no longer suppress her anger.
“How many students have I taught over the years? How many awards have I won? Why should I be criticized by an illiterate little girl from the countryside?”
Her reputation might be ruined if the current situation continued.
