NOVPUB"I think we should just let it go, Shan is actually a pretty good teacher, just a bit impatient sometimes, with no ill intentions."
"Since the conflict has arisen, it seems hard to resolve. How about letting the kids switch to another class?" Zhang Chunxue suggested.
Luo Tianzuo looked troubled, "Each class already has a fixed number of students, if it were one or two students it might be okay... I think this might work better, I’ll transfer Shan to another class and get a new homeroom teacher."
"That would trouble you, principal." Zhang Chunxue nodded, indicating that this solution was acceptable.
"Can we switch teachers today?" Xu Qingfan chimed in.
"Work transfers are quite troublesome, the earliest would be next week." Luo Tianzuo said with difficulty.
Only Shan Fengtao clenched her fists in fury, vowing to lead her class to rank first in this midterm exam and make Zhang Chunxue regret her actions today!
[Then, when Class 76’s students realize what a great homeroom teacher they’ve lost, they will definitely ostracize and resent them, heh!] At this thought, Shan Fengtao’s heart, previously overflowing with frustration, felt as if it had been uncorked, immensely relieved.
Since it was just a misunderstanding, the police left once they saw the issue was resolved.
In the end, Shan Fengtao only received a recorded warning and was stripped of her qualification for this year’s excellence evaluation, something Xu Qingfan had anticipated, yet he still felt quite annoyed.
After leaving the office, Zhang Chunxue looked at Xu Qingfan both frustrated and amused, poking his head with her finger, "You, you, you were supposed to leave a good impression on the teacher, and you certainly made a lasting impression."
"It’s not Brother Fan’s fault, that teacher was just horrible!" Lin Wanning now spoke up boldly, hands on her hips, defending Xu Qingfan.
"Exactly, that homeroom teacher is so awful, last night she finished the class committee elections while we weren’t there!" Xiao Ruawen said as she watched Shan Fengtao’s receding figure, sneering in disgust.
"Brother good, teacher bad!"
Xu Qingfan shrugged and tilted his head, looking the part of a victim, as the few girls had spoken out for him.
"Hehe~ but that still doesn’t mean you should call the cops randomly, worrying your aunt to death!" Zhang Chunxue laughed heartily at Xu Qingfan’s mischievous expression, knocking on his head before continuing, "So, are you going back to class now, or are you coming with me?"
"Aunt, we’ll go with you, we’ll come back after that stupid teacher changes classes, can’t stand to see her!" Xu Qingfan said without a second thought.
"Huh? Don’t use foul language!" Zhang Chunxue lifted her hand to hit him.
"It was an accident, an accident, aunt, I’m sorry!" He raised his hand to cover his head.
"Hahaha~" The girls burst into clear laughter, a gentle breeze coming through, sweeping away the unpleasantness.
"Aunt, wait for us here, we still have our bags in the classroom!"
"Sure, go ahead."
Smiling as she watched the six youths walk away, Zhang Chunxue waved for her secretary to come over.
"Boss."
"Change the Mei City schedule to the afternoon. Give me the car keys, you can take a cab back to the office. Email me the completed market analysis."
"Right away, boss!" The female staff respectfully took out the Maybach keys from her briefcase, handed them to Zhang Chunxue, and then left the campus.
Xu Qingfan and the others returned to the classroom, and the previously noisy classroom quieted down in an instant as everyone looked at them as if they were pandas, whispering to each other.
He ignored the gazes of his classmates and led the girls back to Group Eight.
It was time for the third period, and the blackboard’s schedule indicated that they were supposed to have English, which explained the absence of any teachers.
They had just sat down when, coincidentally, Shan Fengtao also entered. Seeing Xu Qingfan and the others, she paused briefly before continuing to the podium.
"I have an announcement to make!" She tapped on the podium and started.
Xu Qingfan had already packed his bag and was planning to just leave, but now he was curious to hear what this "idiot" wanted to say. 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
He pressed his hand down, signaling the girls to listen first.
Shan Fengtao continued, "Because our class has gained six young masters and mistresses who can’t take a bit of hardship, defy the teacher’s management, and even falsely accuse the teacher of intentionally trying to hurt people with scissors, the principal has decided that I can’t continue being your homeroom teacher from next week. I hope you can still study diligently after I leave. Now, take out your English books, let’s start the class!"
"Why should we change teachers, why can’t they change classes!"
"Didn’t you hear the teacher? They are young masters and mistresses, must be some rich kids!"
"I saw them getting out from a car worth millions at the school gate yesterday!"
"Disgusting!"
"Does that mean we don’t have to cut our hair anymore?"
"Awesome!"
"..."
Shan Fengtao’s attempt to play the victim indeed worked, as the classroom buzzed with whispers, and the classmates’ animosity towards the six peaked at this moment.
Xu Qingfan sighed in regret. He had hoped for everyone to live and let live, but some people always had to stir up trouble, thinking he, Brother Fan, couldn’t wield a knife anymore?
He suddenly stood up, saying, "Then allow me to say a few words too."
Xu Qingfan ignored Shan Fengtao’s hostile look, walked straight to the podium, and addressed his classmates: "One should have their own opinions. Otherwise, seeking answers means letting others make choices for you, and you, in turn, give up your own choices."
