NOVPUBWhen such an event occurred, Xu Qingfan naturally had to call Zhang Chunxue to rescue the situation and phone his own mother. Given Yao Jiping’s conservative values, she would definitely prefer less trouble over more, and then she would insist that he apologize to the teacher.
The first to arrive were the police officers, their sirens wailing throughout the entire campus.
The security guard immediately reported the situation to the school leaders, so a group of people were quickly ushered into the duty room on the first floor.
"She came at me with scissors like a rabid dog, her face contorted. She was about to stab Lin Wanning in the face. My mind went blank, I just thought I couldn’t let her hurt Lin Wanning, so I forcefully got up and pinned her to the ground!" Facing the police’s inquiries, Xu Qingfan insisted that he thought Shan Fengtao was going to stab someone with scissors.
"You’re full of shit, twisting the truth!" Shan Fengtao’s chest heaved violently, and she burst into curses upon hearing Xu Qingfan’s testimony.
"Please shut up, wait until I ask you to speak!" said the officer taking notes, glancing up to glare at her.
When it was Shan Fengtao’s turn to speak, she immediately exaggerated her account, "I’ve been a teacher for over ten years, and I’ve never encountered such lawless students..."
Xu Qingfan shrugged, took some tissues from the table, and handed them to the three young girls, "Stop crying, wipe your tears. Look, Xiaoxiao and Ruan Wen aren’t crying. What are you three crying for?"
"Brother Qing Fan, I’m scared~ Can I stop going to school, please?" Lin Wanning was clearly traumatized by the recent events, sobbing as she spoke.
"Alright, alright, no more school, let’s go home soon." Seeing Lin Wanning’s pitiful expression, Xu Qingfan’s heart melted, and he agreed to anything she said.
Xia Xiaoxiao squinted at the scene in front of her, not saying anything, just unconsciously pursing her lips.
The principal also arrived soon after, gasping for breath. When he saw that the students sitting inside were the same six that had been personally welcomed by an influential figure, he was ready to explode at Shan Fengtao.
"Principal Luo, I can’t teach these students, they’re completely out of control!" Seeing Luo Tianzuo enter, Shan Fengtao continued her tirade against Xu Qingfan and the others, oblivious to the very displeased look on her superior’s face.
After understanding the whole situation from the police officers, he pointed at Shan Fengtao’s nose and chastised her: "Ms. Shan, is this how you conduct student affairs? Bringing such a dangerous item as scissors to class, what were you thinking, what were you doing!"
"I..." Shan Fengtao was stunned by the scolding.
Logically, such incidents had occurred before, her reputation for using scissors was known to every teacher in the school, and the principal had never said anything before. Instead, he had repeatedly invited her to share her advanced experiences at teacher meetings because her classes always scored the highest average marks on tests.
"It seems you’ve completely forgotten the content of the ten standards of professional conduct for teachers. Articles five, seven, and ten, which have you adhered to!" Luo Tianzuo continued scolding, and just at that moment Zhang Chunxue and her female secretary, guided by the school security, entered.
Zhang Chunxue was dressed in a Dior custom-made suit today, her secretary respectfully carrying a briefcase behind her, commanding the attention of everyone in the room as soon as she entered, even stopping Luo Tianzuo mid-sentence.
"Mom!"
"Aunt!" 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi, as if finding their anchor, each clung to one of Zhang Chunxue’s arms.
Luo Tianzuo hastily came forward with a sheepish smile to greet her, unclear about Zhang Chunxue’s specific identity but certain she was not someone he could afford to offend.
"What happened, Xiao Fan?" Zhang Chunxue, seeing the police still present, carefully looked around to make sure the children were unharmed before she looked questioningly at Xu Qingfan.
"Auntie, it’s her, our homeroom teacher. She brought scissors to the classroom, and rushed at us with them in a fit of anger. I was afraid she would hurt Lin Wanning, so I pushed her to the ground!" Xu Qingfan somewhat sheepishly stuck out his tongue, not daring to boast too robustly in front of Zhang Chunxue.
"It’s a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding, it went like this..." Luo Tianzuo, quite frightened, hurriedly interjected, "I’ve already severely scolded Ms. Shan, and I believe such incidents will definitely not occur again. Please be assured, parents!"
"While school rules must be respected, I recall that Li City Middle School doesn’t explicitly require students to cut their hair short, does it?" Zhang Chunxue merely glanced at Shan Fengtao before dismissing her, simultaneously asking the principal.
"No, no, it was all Ms. Shan acting on her own. I’ve already given her a harsh reprimand. Shan, come over here and apologize to the students!"
Zhang Chunxue’s casual glance deeply wounded Shan Fengtao’s heart. She felt like resisting till the end, but deep down, she was afraid. After all, merely running private tutoring classes on the side was enough for the school to fire her, and angering the principal would only make things worse.
Her face flushed, Shan Fengtao walked up to Zhang Chunxue, her once arrogant demeanor gone, and she said in a small, meek voice, "I’m sorry, I was wrong in this matter."
However, Zhang Chunxue didn’t even look at her. This kind of disregard deeply stabbed at her fragile ego. Previously, which parent hadn’t ingratiated themselves to her like a fawning dog.
