nThe principal looked at Qin Jiatong with a bad expression.
n
n“Are you saying that it’s wrong for me and the school’s head teachers to give the quota to student Qin Yiyi, that we’re using public affairs for personal gain, and that we’re targeting you?”
n
nQin Jiatong looked at the principal’s unsightly expression with a calm expression, neither arrogant nor servile.
n
nIt made her appear even more relaxed and at ease.
n
n“Principal, that’s too serious. I didn’t say that. What I mean is that we’re all members of this school, and student Qin Yiyi is only one of them. There are only two quotas, and she’s one of all the students in our school. If you directly decide on her like this, we won’t be able to accept it…”
n
n“So, on behalf of everyone, I request that you reconsider this matter, Principal.”
n
nShe straightened her body, her expression serious and solemn.
n
n“My request is that whoever wants this spot will participate in the selection for the examination. Those with outstanding results will receive the spot.”
n
nAfter a pause, Qin Jiatong looked at the principal and said firmly, “If the principal and teachers insist on not changing their minds, I will report to the higher-ups and strive for our own futures!”
n
nThe principal, “…”
n
nHe looked at Qin Jiatong, who stood in front of him and behaved as if she was the embodiment of justice.
n
nThe principal was speechless. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Qin Jiatong in amusement.
n
n“What do you think of your own performance? What qualifications do you have to be able to get this spot and think that you are better than the other students?!”
n
nUpon hearing this, Qin Jiatong opened her mouth without even thinking. “Although my results in the last monthly exam didn’t enter the top 100, I have improved a lot compared to the last time. Moreover, the principal also knows my previous results. They have always been excellent.” It was also because of the matters at home and Qin Yiyi that she had wasted too much energy over the past year. It affected her mood and led to the decline of her results. Now, she had come to realize her mistake. She had a foundation, and she would definitely catch up to Qin Yiyi very quickly.
n
nAs for other things…
n
nQin Jiatong straightened her body, her eyes filled with pride, “When I was in primary school, I went abroad with my parents several times. I also participated in the school’s exchange activities in secondary school. Whether it was in terms of language or environment adaptation, there were no problems. Other students might have slightly better grades than me, or others might have better extra-curriculars than me. But overall, doesn’t the principal think that my skills are the most suitable?”
n
nShe was rich, beautiful, and capable.
n
nWhat right did the other students have to compete with her?!
n
nThe principal was angered by her words, but he was also well-mannered. He just nodded.
n
n“Since you said so, then let’s do as you said. I’ll get the teacher to inform them that those who want this spot will be selected after the examination.”
n
nWhen Qin Jiatong heard these words, a smile flashed across her eyes.
n
nLook, the principal also knew that what they did previously was wrong, right?
n
nHowever, she still added on worriedly.
n
n“Student Qin Yiyi won’t be an exception, right?”
n
n“If she wants to go, she’ll take the examination with you guys.” He was just afraid that the girl would find it troublesome and refuse to go!
n
nPreviously, when he asked Teacher Zhou to look for Qin Yiyi, the little girl refused without even thinking about it.
n
nHe was still thinking of how to get Teacher Zhou to coax Qin Yiyi.
n
nHe didn’t expect Qin Jiatong to come up with a demonic method…
n
nSigh, this time, it would be even harder to get that little girl to make a move.
n
nHowever, the idea was still there!
n
nThe principal, who was unwilling to give up, directly called Teacher Zhou.
n
n“I don’t care what you do. Bring Qin Yiyi to participate in the selection exam next Monday. Otherwise, the bonus for this month will be deducted!”
n
nPa.
n
nListening to the busy tone on his phone, Teacher Zhou wanted to curse.
n
nDo you have to bully people like this?!
n
nWhat’s wrong with being a first-year official university student? Is it really fun to bully people like this?
n
nPrincipal, very good, very good!
n
nQin Yiyi felt that it was a little surreal. When she opened the door, she actually saw the class teacher squatting at the corner of her door.
n
nShe rubbed the space between her eyebrows. It must be because the way she opened the door that was wrong.
n
nIt must be!
n
nThus, without even looking at Teacher Zhou, she slammed the door shut with a bang!
n
nWhen he heard the door open, he stood up and saw Qin Yiyi appear. The smile on Teacher Zhou’s face had yet to spread out.
n
nThe door just closed… closed…
n
nTeacher Zhou,”…”
n
nHe took a deep breath. I’m not angry, not angry, not angry.
n
nThinking about it, he felt that his sudden action of standing up must have scared Qin Yiyi.
n
nHe thought that if it were anyone else who opened the door and someone suddenly appeared outside, wouldn’t they also be scared?
n
nMoreover, Qin Yiyi was a girl?!
n
nHe shouldn’t have scared her like that.
n
nAfter thinking it through, Teacher Zhou raised his hand and knocked on the door. Then, before his hand barely touched the door…
n
nThe door was opened from the inside again.
n
nAs soon as Qin Yiyi appeared, she calmly looked at teacher Zhou outside.
n
nThe hand on the door handle paused.
n
nShe expressionlessly closed the door again.
n
n“What are you doing, child? How old are you?”
n
nQin Yiyi said calmly, “The neighbors across the street seem to be quarreling. Let’s go out later.”
n
n“Is that so? I saw them beating the children a few days ago…”
n
nQin Yiyi grunted and stood behind the door without moving.
n
nThrough the door, Teacher-Beating the child and quarreling with the neighbor-Zhou’s lips twitched.
n
nThis girl!
n
nShe obviously did it on purpose!
n
nDid she think that it was troublesome for him to come over, so she simply didn’t want to see him?
n
nThis was the first time Teacher Zhou was rejected by his own student, so he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He could only knock on the door.
n
n“What are you standing there for, child? Didn’t you hear someone knocking on the door outside?”
n
nFortunately, Grandpa Fang walked over and stretched out his hand to pull Qin Yiyi aside, opening the door.
n
nWhen he saw the person standing outside, Grandpa Fang didn’t recognize him.
n
n“Mister, you are… ?”
n
n“Grandpa Fang, right? Hello, Hello. I am Qin Yiyi’s form teacher. I have something to talk to Qin Yiyi about.”
n
nAs soon as he said this, Grandpa Fang immediately became enthusiastic.
n
nThe wrinkles on his face all crinkled as he burst into laughter.
n
n“So it’s Teacher Zhou. My old eyes are dizzy. I didn’t recognize you.”
n
n“Teacher Zhou, please come in, please come in.”
n
nAs he led the person into the room, he turned his head and glared at Qin Yiyi.
n
n“Don’t you see your teacher? Hurry up and greet the teacher. Go and pour tea for your Teacher Zhou.”
n
nTeacher Zhou repeatedly said that there was no need, but since the person had already come in, Qin Yiyi naturally wouldn’t be rude enough to leave him alone.
n
nWhile her grandmother and grandfather were accompanying teacher Zhou, she obediently made tea.
n
n“Teacher Zhou, please have some tea.”
n
nOn the other side.
n
nGrandfather Fang smiled like a flower. “Teacher Zhou, please have some fruit. Don’t stand on ceremony. This child is so naughty. If she does anything wrong, you can just clean up after her. If it really doesn’t work out, you can tell me later. I’ll help you beat her up.”
n
nQin Yiyi,”…” You’re really my biological grandfather!
n
nTeacher Zhou looked at the somewhat stifled Qin Yiyi and secretly laughed in his heart.
n
nIt seemed that he had come to the right place this time! “Grandpa Fang, what are you saying? Student Qin Yiyi is an outstanding student in our school. She is eager to help others in her studies and is very polite to her teacher. She is also very hardworking in her studies. Our school’s teachers have high hopes for her. You have taught such a good student. It must have been hard on you.” After praising her for a while, Teacher Zhou deliberately looked at Qin Yiyi, who was drinking tea with her eyes lowered. “Student Qin Yiyi, Teacher came here this time to discuss something with you…”
n
n“What’s there to discuss? If teacher has anything, just tell her directly.”
n
n“Just let her go.”
n
n“You don’t have to ask her. This girl will definitely agree.”
n
nQin Yiyi,”…” No, she didn’t agree!
n
nUnfortunately, in front of her maternal grandfather and grandmother, her words were not very forceful.
n
nIn front of Teacher Zhou, Grandpa Fang made the decision. “This is a great thing. Go. This child will definitely go.”
n
n“If she can bring glory to the school, then she will definitely go. This is the glory of this child.”
n
nWhen Qin Yiyi heard this, she looked at Teacher Zhou, who was full of smiles because his goal had been achieved. She rolled her eyes speechlessly,
n
n“Grandpa, aren’t you afraid that I’ll fail in the exam and bring shame to the school?”
n
n“Also, you heard from Teacher Zhou just now that there’s a selection for the exam. Grandpa, aren’t you afraid that if I don’t do well in the exam, I won’t be able to get into a good university? If I don’t even have the mood to study normally, won’t I be able to get into a good university next year?”
n
nGrandpa Fang glared at her. “If you can’t get into a university, then you’re still capable, aren’t you? You said it so loudly. Are you very proud?”
n
n“Don’t come home if you can’t get into Qing University or Peking University next year.”
n
nQin Yiyi,”…”
n
nIt was rare for Teacher Zhou to see Qin Yiyi choke, and he couldn’t help but laugh in his heart.
n
nso there was someone here who could cure this girl.
n
nPreviously, he had always thought that Qin Yiyi was a loose cannon.
n
nHe sat at the side and watched the joke for a while. He seemed to feel Qin Yiyi’s glance sweeping over at him.
n
nHe instantly sat up straight.
n
nThe next moment, the corner of his mouth twitched. He was this girl’s teacher, the class teacher.
n
nAnd she was a little girl.
n
nWhat was he afraid of?!
n
nBut in fact…
n
nForget it, forget it. He was a teacher. He had to tolerate the students’small tempers!
n
n“Grandpa Fang, don’t worry. We teachers have high hopes for Qin Yiyi. With her learning ability, she will definitely do well in the exam.”
n
nThe conversation complimented Qin Yiyi again and again.
n
nGrandpa Fang and Grandma Fang were all smiles when they heard this. In the end, Grandma Fang made a decision.
n
nLet Teacher Zhou stay at home for lunch!
n
nQin Yiyi pursed her lips. “Grandma, Teacher Zhou still has something to do in the afternoon. He has to go to class.”
n
n“Yes, yes, yes. I still have something to do, so I won’t stay…”
n
nTeacher Zhou knew how to quit when things were good. What if he angered the little girl by staying here?
n
nWhat if she refused to participate in the exam later?
n
nHowever, Grandma Fang refused to let him go. “What’s the matter? It’s almost time for lunch. You can leave after lunch. Or do you dislike us old men and women, Teacher Zhou? If that’s the case, you can leave.”
n
nWhat she said…
n
nTeacher Zhou sighed. Wasn’t she exaggerating a little too enthusiastically just now?
n
nQin Yiyi glanced at him with a faint smile and stood up.
n
n“Teacher Zhou, you can stay. It’s rare that my grandparents want to treat someone to a meal. If you leave, my grandparents will nag me to death.”
n
n“This girl.”
n
nGranny Fang stood up happily. “Teacher Zhou, please sit down. I’ll go to the kitchen to take a look. It’ll be done soon.”
n
nWhen the two elders went to the kitchen.
n
nTeacher Zhou looked at Qin Yiyi, who was sitting on the sofa opposite him, and felt uneasy.
n
nIn the end, he made up his mind and stood up. “Well, I…”
n
n“What, Teacher Zhou doesn’t like my grandparents’ cooking?”
n
nThe little girl tilted her head and smiled. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and her tone was very light. Her gaze, which did not seem to have any strength at all, landed on him.
n
nHowever, it made Teacher Zhou feel as if he weighed a thousand pounds in an instant.
n
nHe took a deep breath and said, “No, I just want to help in the kitchen…” He couldn’t possibly sit here as a healthy and normal man and let the two old people work in the kitchen, right? Thinking of this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Qin Yiyi. Then, he turned his head to look at the kitchen. His tone was a little hesitant. “Usually, when we are at home, is it your grandfather and the others who cook?”
n
nThis was not the case.
n
nWhen Qin Yiyi was at home, she was often his assistant.
n
nWhen Shang Jingheng was around, she never had to use grandfather Fang to cook…
n
nIf the two of them were busy, Qin Yiyi would directly ask the housekeeper who was hired by the family to come over and take care of the three meals.
n
nHowever… there was no need for outsiders to say this.
n
nTeacher Zhou thought about it, but he still did not say anything.
n
nPerhaps, it was just that the two elders felt sorry for their child and refused to let her into the kitchen, or perhaps it was because he was here.
n
nWhat if Qin Yiyi was left to talk to him as a teacher?
n
nHe was about to enter the kitchen to help, but he was rejected by grandfather Fang, “No need, no need. The dishes were all tidied up earlier, so we didn’t have to do anything. These days, it’s all good for us. What’s so tiring about cooking and adding water? It’s not tiring at all.”
n
nMoreover, if they were really allowed to live a leisurely life where they could stretch out their hands for food, they might not be able to get used to it.
n
nTeacher Zhou did not remember the taste of the food after having lunch.
n
nIn the end, after waiting for a long time, Teacher Zhou left decisively without even drinking tea.
n
nOutside.
n
nTeacher Zhou’s tone was a little apologetic. “Student Qin Yiyi, um, teacher really didn’t pick the time when your grandparents were at home to come over…”
n
nHe could only say that it was a coincidence!
n
n“I know.”
n
nQin Yiyi thought for a moment and looked up at Teacher Zhou.
n
n“If I don’t want to go, believe me, my grandparents won’t insist on making things difficult for me.”
n
nThat was true.
n
nTeacher Zhou nodded, but in the next moment, he became a little curious.
n
n“Then why did you suddenly change your mind?” It made him nervous for a long time, afraid that he would lose his monthly bonus!
n
nQin Yiyi glanced at him and her gaze swept over his balding hair.
n
n“I’m afraid that teacher will be troubled again. You don’t even have the last hairline.”
n
nTeacher Zhou,”…” Stupid girl!
n
nIn the blink of an eye, it was time for the school’s selection test.
n
nQin Yiyi happened to be in the same classroom as Qin Jiatong.
n
nQin Jiatong pursed her lips. “Sister, I…”
n
nQin Yiyi walked past her and sat down in his seat.
n
n“Now, everyone check your stationery. We will begin in one minute.”
n
nThe examination papers were handed out very quickly.
n
nThe classroom was extremely quiet. Only the rustling sounds of writing could be heard.
n
nTime passed little by little.
n
nAfter the examination ended, the teacher put away the examination papers and prepared to leave.
n
nA student in front of Qin Yiyi suddenly swayed and brought his stool close to her desk.
n
nHe sat there without moving.
n
nThe invigilator looked over, “You didn’t fall, right? Get up…”
n
nThey were both students and teachers of the school, and most of them knew each other.
n
nThe other party got up embarrassedly. He seemed to have intentionally or unintentionally swayed his body and knocked Qin Yiyi’s pencil case to the ground.
n
nSuddenly, he exclaimed.
n
n“Teacher, there’s a note here….”
n
