Chapter 17: Chapter 017: Framing
The English teacher’s name is Bai Yongqing, who has devoted his entire life to education and nurturing students, and he truly cherishes talent.
He believes that Sheng Tang’s English skills should not be buried; she is fully qualified to serve as the English class representative.
However, changing class representatives isn’t something that can be done on a whim.
"Mr. Bai, no matter how much you value Sheng Tang, let’s wait until the next exam and see her grades before making any decisions. As far as I know, her English has always been very poor," the homeroom teacher suggested, recovering from his shock and trying to persuade the English teacher.
Although this English teacher appeared affable, he was in fact quite proud and set high standards for his students, often giving them low evaluations.
He had a strong dislike for the wealthy second generations. If it weren’t for the high salary and good benefits at Huishi, he would never have joined the school.
It’s quite rare for him to regard Sheng Tang so highly.
The homeroom teacher concealed his own surprise and repeatedly urged Mr. Bai to consider carefully.
The English teacher had no choice but to be patient.
However, from then on, he paid extra attention to Sheng Tang in class, but that’s a story for another day.
Sheng Tang was unaware that she had caught the teacher’s eye.
After being interrupted by the teacher, she was fully awake.
Her desk mate stopped reading and eagerly questioned her, "When did you practice your spoken English?"
Sheng Tang was both amused and exasperated.
"You must have hired a very expensive tutor, right? How long have you been practicing? I’ve been seeing a tutor for almost three years, and my spoken English is still that bad! I’m going to study in the United States after senior year. Hurry, introduce your tutor to me," her desk mate Jiang Baocu chattered on.
Classmates in the front row also turned around to talk to Sheng Tang, asking about her spoken English.
Sheng Tang noticed that her classmates had become much friendlier towards her.
"Whose rice have you been eating to make your spoken English so good?" asked a classmate in the front row.
Sheng Tang knew the joke and burst into laughter.
Fortunately, the class was in a noisy chaos, so her laughter wasn’t too out of place.
"Did you guys also watch that video?" Sheng Tang brought it up herself, "It’s hilarious! Who made it, anyway? It’s so funny, my whole family watched it. My parents laughed so hard too."
Seeing that she didn’t mind, the students all began discussing it.
Because before it was deleted, that video was a hot topic last night.
"Sheng Tang, did you know your phrase made it into the top ten trending phrases on Weibo within one night?" a classmate said.
Sheng Tang replied, "Does that mean I became famous overnight?"
Everyone laughed.
The excitement at their corner drew the attention of many classmates, including Feng Yijin, who sat diagonally behind them.
Feng Yijin was so angry that she fiercely stabbed her pen into the desk.
"Look at her showing off, that fat pig!" said her desk mate, Wei Chengjun.
Feng Yijin was still seething with rage.
Sheng Tang had caused her to take a fall in class and had even made her face plunge into a toilet bowl.
Especially the latter incident, she had to destroy Sheng Tang to vent her anger.
"Yijin, I know something," Wei Chengjun suddenly said.
"What?"
Wei Chengjun gestured for her to come closer.
They whispered to each other.
Then, Feng Yijin and Wei Chengjun stood up, pretending they were going to the restroom, and headed to the homeroom teacher’s office.
They only returned when the first period started in the morning.
Feng Yijin had a look of triumphant satisfaction on her face as she smiled and returned to her seat. 𝚗ov𝚙𝚞𝚋.c𝚘m
She even tossed a note to Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang turned around, and Feng Yijin flipped her the middle finger.
Sheng Tang smiled, unperturbed, and turned to her desk mate Jiang Baocu, asking, "What’s wrong with her?"
Feng Yijin had a very rebellious personality, was fierce in fights, and had no regard for her reputation. Instead of fearing her, most classmates found her repugnant and avoided conflicts with her to avoid demeaning themselves.
Sometimes, they had to swallow their pride and tolerate her.
Unexpectedly, she became even more self-satisfied, really seeing herself as the boss.
Jiang Baocu was about to answer Sheng Tang’s question when Sheng Tang continued, "Her eyebrows are so thick, her eyeliner is all crooked, her eyeshadow is smudged and heavy. What’s her problem with putting on makeup like that?"
Jiang Baocu: "..."
Alright, Sheng Tang’s attention was quite sidetracked.
On this point, Jiang Baocu, who knew everything but never wore makeup, was truly at a loss for words and was dumbfounded for quite a while.
