Chapter 115: Chapter 106: Xie Wendong Repeatedly Gets Slapped in the Face _1
The last class was filled with joy.
This class feels like the world is ending.
This was the most accurate description of Xie Wendong’s feelings at the moment.
He didn’t expect the tables to turn so quickly. He had been humiliated by the sons of county leaders before, but losing to Tang Qing, a student without any background, and the likely involvement of class adviser Shen Mei, he couldn’t handle the combined attack.
The more Xie Wendong thought about it during class, the more aggrieved and uncomfortable he felt. After class, he rushed into Shen Mei’s office, approached her with a sullen face and said, "Teacher Shen, why did you switch the seats of Tang Qing and Wang Yan?"
He, who was completely blinded by aggrieving feelings by now, paid no attention to his tone. However, he was not insane enough to shout out loud, especially with other teachers in the office.
Faced with Xie Wendong’s accusatory tone, Shen Mei wasn’t angry, but felt rather relieved. Strictly speaking, it’s quite undignified for a teacher to be annoyed with a student. But she would consider other factors in her response, such as student behavior. She wasn’t so petty as to get upset over small infractions or even students talking back in class. But when someone used social connections to put pressure on her, she would treat this as an adult issue, not a student one. It’s absolutely intolerable for a student to use social power to bully a teacher.
Therefore, seeing Xie Wendong’s anger, Shen Mei felt an undue sense of pleasure. He was playing these games, so he deserved what was coming. Scheming was one thing, but targeting her was another. Her previous concessions to him had made her feel humiliated in front of Tang Qing. He wanted to talk about professional ethics?
What even is that?
I’m not your mother, there is no need for me to indulge you without limits.
If you do disgusting things, you should prepare for the consequences.
"Xie, Tang Qing and Wang Yan wanted to switch seats, so I agreed." Shen Mei said lightly, her tone filled with a faint smile.
"You... Teacher Shen, I request to switch to the seat behind Wang Yan." Xie Wendong took a deep breath, suppressing his anger. Other teachers in the office had noticed the situation and were watching. He didn’t dare to go too far. After all, this wasn’t his previous school in the county where his father was the Bureau Chief of Education. He had moved to the city after being promoted to the Finance Bureau Chief, so he wasn’t so familiar with the place and didn’t dare to make a scene.
If things got out of hand, even the vice principal probably wouldn’t be on his side. He met the vice principal through a city official’s son who he knew for a while now, and it took quite a bit of effort to get help from him. Their relationship wasn’t strong, so the vice principal might not support him against Shen Mei.
"Xie, do you think this is your home? You can swap seats as you please? You’ve already switched before, what more do you want?" Shen Mei pretended to be angry. She was enjoying this from head to toe. Although being schemed by a student was inappropriate, it was a satisfying feeling. If you disregard the rules and treat me poorly, I will not treat you kindly in return. You’re almost an adult, you should experience the cruel reality--not everyone in society will indulge you like your mother.
"I... I’m going to see the Vice Principal." Xie Wendong blurted out angrily, and then turned to leave.
Since the path to Shen Mei was completely blocked, his only course of action was to go find the Vice Principal. Although aware that doing so meant completely severing ties with Shen Mei, his horniness, combined with his youthful vigor that couldn’t accept being played, made him ignore all other considerations.
"Bastard." Shen Mei slapped the table and frowned, visibly angry to the point of cursing. When Xie Wendong claimed, in front of the teachers, that he was going to see the Vice Principal, it was like an open-handed slap to her face. She didn’t expect Xie Wendong to go as far as flipping the table right in front of her.
After her anger subsided, Shen Mei calmed down and pondered over a solution. Shortly after, she made up her mind to talk to the Principal. If she doesn’t approach the Principal now, it would really become a problem later. Once the Vice Principal confronts her again, she would have to compromise. In the eyes of the Vice Principal, she was just another ordinary teacher and wouldn’t be given any special consideration just because she is a class adviser. If she continued to compromise, how would the other students see her? How would Tang Qing see her? That’s when she would really lose face.
Having made up her mind, Shen Mei got up and headed to the Principal’s office. As she passed the Vice Principal’s office, she heard Xie Wendong’s voice, which fueled her anger even more.
"Principal, this is what happened, what should we do?" Shen Mei gave a detailed account of what happened. Of course, she embellished the story, describing how she had refused several times before finally agreeing reluctantly, as well as Xie Wendong’s unreasonable actions and the real reason behind their seat switching. She knew that the Principal particularly disliked relationships among students, especially since he knew Wang Yan’s father.
Indeed, upon hearing the story, Principal Chu Yuanhang angrily slammed the table, "This student, instead of studying, thinks about nonsense all day. It’s fine if he’s a lousy student, but his character is even worse. Shen, don’t worry about him. I’ll go talk to Vice Principal Liu."
A second-generation student with poor academic performance not only attempting to harass Wang Yan, a good student, but also using despicable means to pressure his teacher, it was simply intolerable. Knowing Wang Yan’s father and considering the potential Tang Qing holds as the top student in the grade level, how could he not be angry? Moreover, when he thought about Tang Qing’s promising uncle and Wang Yan’s influential uncle, he felt an urge to strangle Xie Wendong.
Fuck, he’s always causing trouble.
"Alright, Principal, I feel relieved with you handling this." Shen Mei smiled. Now that she had the Principal backing her up, she didn’t need to bear such immense pressure. In the school, this domineering Principal was well-known and no one dared to question his decisions.
"Hmm. Teacher Shen, you can go ahead. I will deal with it. And let’s not wait for the next time, I will transfer Xie Wendong to Ban Three tomorrow to avoid any trouble." Chu Yuanhang said. To prevent an irreparable conflict between Tang Qing and Xie Wendong, he decided to switch Xie Wendong’s class. Not expelling him for what he had done was already giving face to Xie Wendong’s father. If his dad dared to make a fuss and demand an explanation, he was not afraid at all. Compared to Tang Qing and Wang Yan’s backgrounds, a deputy director level parent is nothing. Plus, he too had solid backing. He would decide whether to give face or not.
Chu Yuanhang also felt fortunate that the matter was handled in a timely manner. If the people behind the two families had gotten involved, it would have been a nuisance, and creating a poor impression due to improper handling wouldn’t be fun.
"Alright, Principal."
After speaking, Shen Mei turned and left the Principal’s office.
Shen Mei felt much lighter.
However, when Shen Mei returned to her office, she found Xie Wendong actually standing in front of her office table. Classes were already in session, and not only did he brazenly skip class, he even started playing with her red correction pen. His audacity was intolerable.
"Xie Wendong, what are you doing? Put down my pen." Shen Mei said sternly. Now that the other teachers had gone to teach, she no longer lowered her voice. Her voice was so loud as though she wanted to vent all of her previous frustrations.
Xie Wendong, who had been deep in thought while holding the pen, was startled by the loud shout. He quickly put down the pen and turned around, trying to appear calm, "Teacher Shen, Vice Principal Liu just told me to switch classes. You can’t switch their seats again this time."
"I... ha, is that so? I just heard from the Principal saying that it can’t be changed." Shen Mei was so angry she laughed. Hearing Xie Wendong’s commanding tone, she was filled with rage. However, thinking about Xie Wendong leaving her class, she wasn’t as angry, as the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind. Let the other teachers deal with the headache.
"Principal? The Principal knows about this?" Xie Wendong exclaimed. He did not expect the Principal to intervene in this matter and suddenly felt a bit flustered. When the Principal speaks, Vice Principal Liu definitely could not help him anymore.
"Yes, alright, your task is to study. Don’t you think I know what’s going on in your mind? Are you really aiming for academics? One is grade’s first, another the third. If you hinder their studies, it won’t end well. Moreover, the Principal said you’re going to Ban Three tomorrow." Shen Mei said calmly, sitting down and sipping her tea.
"What? Ban Three, I’m not going." Xie Wendong stepped back, shouting. He was going to be kicked out of this class, something he could not have foreseen or accept.
"That’s not up to you. The Principal has decided. Report directly to Ban Three tomorrow morning." Shen Mei said indifferently.
"I... you..." Xie Wendong was speechless. He knew the matter was settled. He offended his class teacher badly. If he didn’t back off now, he would be against the Principal. Then he really wouldn’t need to stay in this school, and he didn’t have the guts to argue with the Principal.
Like a defeated rooster, Xie Wendong slinked out Shen Mei’s office, resentment flitted across his face. He had truly lost face. Not only from his existing class, but the students from Ban Three definitely would speculate and even if his father knew about it, he would definitely be in trouble.
Indeed.
Just now, the entire class saw through Xie Wendong’s tricks, but such a quick plot twist left everyone unprepared. Seeing Xie Wendong, furious, leaving the classroom, everyone guessed what he might do. The students were anticipating who would emerge victorious from this game. In the end, seeing Xie Wendong’s even worse expression upon his return, everyone guessed the outcome of this incident. 𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Xie Wendong lost.
Thus, Xie Wendong once again became the laughing stock of the class. All that remained in the class’s gaze towards Xie Wendong was mockery. He still persisted to covet Wang Yan. It was simply asking for humiliation.
Especially when Su Ziwang hinted that Xie Wendong had used despicable means to force Shen Mei to agree to switch seats, the entire class’s gaze towards Xie Wendong was not just mere contempt, it was also anger. Although Shen Mei was a bit strict, she was well-liked in the class. This Xie Wendong actually dared to threaten the teacher, if not for fear of Xie Wendong’s background, some people would have already lost patience and beaten him up.
"Tang Qing, you forced me into this." Xie Wendong said with a sinister expression. He could absolutely not accept losing this miserably, equally miserably as a rat crossing the street.
