Volume 2: The Ripples Begin Chapter 61: The Math Teacher Who Finds Faults
Looking at the little boy who followed the teacher in, Class 3-1 was in an uproar again. Is a prodigy really so worthless these days? Liang Mingxing's expression was very cold, and his self-introduction was just like Yun Qingran's, only saying his name before stopping.
Yun Qingran nodded slightly in greeting as Liang Mingxuan walked down, wondering to herself how he ended up here, but still feeling happy that she didn't see Liang Mingyue's figure appearing here too, because having someone you dislike hovering around you all day is really annoying.
Liang Mingxian arrived at the classroom and immediately caught sight of Yun Qingran, who was dazzlingly beautiful. Afterwards, his gaze closely followed her, but he was very careful not to let anyone notice.
The first class was not the head teacher's class, and Liu Yang left after finding a seat for Liang Mingxing. The first class was math, taught by a female teacher named Xu Qun, whose surname was Xu.
Yun Qingran's small body hid behind the desk, holding a thick original book in her hand and quietly flipping through it. The boring class could only be passed by reading these books. "Yun Qingran, come up and do this question." Suddenly, a sharp female voice rang out, Yun Qingran looked up and saw the disgust in Xu Qun's eyes. She had never seen this teacher before, why was she looking at her like that.
She shifted her gaze to the projector, and Yun Qingran thought she knew why this teacher was being like this. The projector displayed a math problem, but it wasn't something they should be learning at their age. "Equals 7, the specific steps can be found on page 45 of our school's first-year junior high math book, example three, where there are detailed solution steps." Yun Qingran only glanced at the question and lowered her head to continue reading the book in her hand. If it were normal for her to go up and do the problem, she would have gone. But with this kind of harassment, she wouldn't bother.
"Hmm, you think that just because you've learned the first year's content, you can skip class and not do your homework? You think that as long as your teacher agrees, it's okay? Let me tell you, unless your math skills surpass mine, you'll still have to behave yourself in class and hand in your assignments on time. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless." Xu Qun's face turned bright red with anger, all because this fox-like girl was bullying Yueyue.
Yun Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, and those who knew her understood that she was angry. She closed the book in her hand, placed it on the desk, and walked calmly towards the podium. Someone offered their face for her to fan, and she didn't refuse. Quickly picking up the pen, she moved the chair prepared by the teacher on the podium, stepped on it, and started writing rapidly on the blackboard. In no time, a math problem with complex symbols but simple text appeared on the board.
"Slow down, teacher. I just looked at this question and it took me 10 minutes to figure it out, but the process feels a bit complicated. Can you please give me a simpler step?" Yun Qingran smiled, her smile was innocent and pure, stunning everyone below. But in Xu Qun's eyes, it was the devil's smile.
Soon, everyone's attention turned to the math teacher again, with a look of watching a good show, looking at Xu Qun's pale face. This math teacher is notorious among students, rated as the most unpopular teacher, notorious for being strict, selfish and petty. I really don't know how she got into this school.
"You, you..."
"What's this, teacher? Are you saying I can't do it? How could that be, such a simple question and you don't even know how to do it, what's the point of attending your class?" Yun Qingran said in surprise.
The classmates in the class looked at Yun Qingran with admiration. Wow, dare to call the math teacher out, and even make the math teacher speechless. Jin Se's math teacher is at least a college student. Is God so cruel? Now these little brothers and sisters are so fierce, how can these "old people" bear it?
Xu Qun was so frustrated that she wanted to die. How did she know that such a small child could come up with a question that even she couldn't do? Yeah, it's also possible that she saw the adults at home writing and unintentionally memorized it, but she herself can't do it either.
"You think you can just find a question that I won't be able to do and that's it? What I'm saying is that you have to surpass me." Xu Qun's face turned red as he said this excitedly.
Yun Qingran's face seemed to smile but not quite, as she began writing on the whiteboard with a flourish. Her bold and elegant handwriting appeared in neat rows of answers. Xu Qun's face, initially flushed, gradually paled with each step Yun took, until it became even paler than before.
Dropping the pen in her hand, Yun Qingran patted her already very clean hands and turned to look at Xu Qun. A playful smile played on her lips: "Teacher Xu wouldn't say that I'm writing nonsense to fool you, would he?" The school days were boring, but having someone to entertain her was not bad either. Yun Qingran suddenly didn't feel so depressed anymore.
"Exactly, how do I know you're not just writing nonsense?" Xu Qun was so hard-mouthed that he didn't know how such a brainless person could come here to be a teacher, wasn't this misleading the students? Or was it because she had "background"? When they heard these words, the whole class erupted in an uproar. Is this still a teacher? Speaking without being accountable, and still making excuses, really haven't seen anyone so shameless. Yun Qingran's answer was that even those people who fundamentally couldn't understand knew it wouldn't be nonsense, have you ever seen someone who didn't understand write out answers fluently?
"Then, teacher, let's ask Principal Bo to take a look at this question and see if it's correct or not. What if I really wrote nonsense? Wouldn't that mean you lose, teacher?" Yun Qingran "kindly" reminded Xu Qun.
"No, no need. Teacher will just think you're right. Let's continue the lesson." Xu Qun, who had been confident and self-righteous, stuttered a little, and his ferocious face suddenly filled with smiles as he spoke to Yun Qingran, but Yun Qingran still saw a hint of resentment in her eyes.
"Teacher, how could you let Yun classmate cheat on you? I'll go find the principal right now." Tang Xin's face was stern and righteous as she looked at Yun Qingran, saying this without waiting for Xu Qun's response before running towards the principal's office. What a joke, if she didn't take this opportunity to bring down this teacher who always looked down on her, it would be unforgivable to the people, the party, and the students of Jin Se Academy. Moreover, just now when she was sneaking a peek at Yun Qingran's book, she had seen that question before, it was in front of her bookmark, which meant she must have read it. Since that's the case, then...
It's all over... Xu Qun stumbled and fell to the ground.
Tang Xin briefly explained the situation to Principal Huang in his office, and then he hastily pulled Tang Xin back to Class 1 of Grade 3. Oh my god, my little ancestor, how can this be good? If Master finds out that Yun Qingran was bullied by a teacher from their school, even if he doesn't die, he'll have to peel off a layer of skin.
"Principal Huang, listen to me..." Seeing the principal coming, Xu Qun rushed over, but was dodged nimbly and fell to the ground.
"Yun classmate, is everything all right?" Principal Huang came to Yun Qingran's side and asked softly with a warm smile.
"Principal, can you take a look at this question and see if it's correct or not? Am I fooling Teacher Xu?" Yun Qingran smiled lightly, but for some reason, it made the principal feel like she was angry.
"Cloud, shall I handle this matter?" Principal Huang asked with a smile. Seeing Cloud nod slightly, he turned his head and looked at Xu Qun with a serious and contemptuous expression: "Xu Qun, as a teacher, you are so narrow-minded and untrustworthy to students, bringing negative influence to them. You go submit your resignation letter to me now."
Xu Qun looked at the principal with a pleading gaze, Jin Se's salary was high and her benefits were good, she really didn't want to lose this job. However, when she saw the determination and decisiveness in his eyes, Xu Qun dejectedly turned around and walked towards her own office.
"Teacher Xue." The voice from behind made Xu Qun turn around with hope, but her expression suddenly became even more dismal. "Ask the teacher who originally admitted you to come to my office for a while." The cold and hard voice shattered her last hope, and Xu Qun glared at Yun Qingran with resentment before leaving.
