Chapter 372: Chapter 372 - Defeating Others

Ye Jian, with her photographic memory, immediately recognized who Teacher Tong was, and before long, the conversation between the teacher and student was going well.

On the other side, Principal Chen and Xia Jinyuan shook hands and exchanged greetings. Meanwhile, on this side, Teacher Tong started warmly asking Ye Jian about the situations she was facing in different aspects. She was a teacher with a very kind soul. She was only 50 years old, but she had a pair of gentle eyes that had not lost their stern edge. From Ye Jian’s life to her studies, then towards the topic of personal problems, she asked all of that with a gentle and soft voice.

On the other hand, Teacher Tong was quite fond of the student in front of her with a quiet yet unyielding personality. She smiled throughout the whole process, “Us teachers from different fields have seen your test papers. Not only can you keep pace with your peers, but it also won’t be a problem if you want to start third-year straightaway.”

“Classes officially start tomorrow. When the time comes, you can follow me into the classroom, and do a simple self-introduction. I’ll provide you a name list of the class’ students beforehand, so you’ll have some time to recognize them beforehand. But you shouldn’t worry too much about it. The students have already been arranged based on their preferences towards arts and sciences, therefore our class, Class One, will also be a whole new class.

Having met an extremely unreliable homeroom teacher who had even wanted to destroy a student’s future out of her own selfishness, and looking at this teacher who was always thinking about her students, she realized that they were both teachers, but the difference in their teaching ethics … one was heaven, while the other was earth.

She pursed her lips and smiled, “Thank you for your concern; I don’t face many troubles in my life. But if I do encounter something I don’t understand in my studies, then I’ll have to trouble Teacher Tong about it.” The more polite she became and acted, the more the teachers liked her.

“Yes, as expected of a good student! Come by the office later so you can get a copy of your classmates’ name list from me.” Teacher Tong gently patted the back of Ye Jian’s hands. She stood up with extreme satisfaction and spoke to Principal Cao, “Principal, I still have some things to take care of, so I’ll be leaving now.”

Having met a teacher with such great ethics in her high school life, Ye Jian could already predict that the high school life she had never experienced would be spectacular and fun.

After Teacher Tong had left, Principal Cao walked out from behind his desk and sat on the office chair. His gaze was slightly serious as he looked at Ye Jian, “There are some things that I need to notify you of beforehand so that you can have some mental preparation before you go for class tomorrow.”

……

Without any idea why, Ye Jian subconsciously glanced at Xia Jinyuan first, as if by looking at him now, her heart would calm down a lot more.

Coincidentally, Xia Jinyuan also glanced towards her, without any idea of what was going on. Both of their gazes met together in the moment that Principal Cao sat between them. While he smiled playfully, Ye Jian hurriedly averted her gaze.

All is well, why should I look at him!

After being caught red-handed, Ye Jian felt slightly vexed. Controlling her emotions, she asked calmly, “Please tell, I’m listening.”

“You must know that Ye Ying is also here in First Provincial High.” Principal Cao did not ease her in; instead, he went straight into the heart of the topic. “I intended to place you in Class Six, the class’ atmosphere isn’t too tense and the homeroom teacher of the class is considerably good.”

“But, after Teacher Tong glanced at the division of names, she ‘defeated’ the other teachers and fought to get you into her own class. For that matter, the current homeroom teacher of Class Six holds a slight grudge against Teacher Tong.”

“As for how she ‘defeated’ the other teachers, that’s because Teacher Tong managed to get into an argument with the school leadership and also persuaded the homeroom teacher of Class Six with emotions and logic, and before anyone realized it, the homeroom teacher of Class Six actually nodded his head and agreed for Ye Jian to enter Class One.”

“By the time he came back to his senses, everything had been set in stone.”

“Teacher Tong has taught twelve batches of graduating classes. She has 24 years of being a homeroom teacher under her belt. For her to be your homeroom teacher, I’m extremely assured. The only thing I’m worried about is the fact that Ye Ying and you would be in the same class.”
