Chapter 236: 229: Taking the Backdoor

“Principal, our class already has enough students, we can’t fit any more into the classroom.”

Isn’t her point clear? Their class has the top students, it is not possible for them to just randomly accept anyone. Doing so would lower the overall performance of the class and affect the other students to boot. Who would bear this responsibility?

Sorry, she does not entertain any special relationship cases, especially those who are incompetent and prone to causing issues.

Miaomiao’s father is a seasoned man. In his workplace, isn’t he always involved in such power games with his leaders and subordinates? If he couldn’t understand her point, he would just be dumb.

His expression at the moment is particularly dark. If it weren’t for considering this school, just based on this damn woman’s insults to his three children, he would have slapped her across the face.

The principal is also in an awkward position. Good intentions are being trampled upon. Why would anyone reject these three promising students and distress the faculty? Just then, another teacher walked in.

This is a young female teacher in her twenties. Upon seeing so many people inside, she froze then finally stepped in, constantly playing with her hair.

“Pri, principal, I came to deliver some materials.”

As she puts her materials on the table and just about to leave, the principal stops her suddenly.

“Miss Jin, great timing, can you take in these few students in your class?”

What options does the principal have left? No matter which teacher he calls upon now, it wouldn’t work out. Other teachers would uproar if they heard that he’s trying to hard-sell some students that Teacher Song didn’t want to anyone else’s class.

Only this Teacher Jin agrees hastily, fine, let it be her then.

“I…” Teacher Jin may be a bit easily intimidated, she can’t really give a rebuttal.

“All, all right then.”

She chuckled bitterly in her mind, reckoning that the principal’s intention was to push three special cases into her class. Her class is already filled with such students. How many good students could she possibly have? Forget it, three more or less doesn’t matter anyway. So that’s it, she accepted the three students.

“You can come to class one anytime, kiddos,” she said to the three students politely with a smile on her face, yet there was an unspoken feeling in her smile, perhaps it is contagious.

“Hello, teacher,” Tang Yuxin’s initial impression of Teacher Jin is favorable, at the very least, she is much more pleasing to the eye than the one whose eyes seem to be on the top of her head. Being a student of a teacher without eyes is simply untenable for her, she’d rather pick a teacher that she likes, and who, in turn, likes them.

Tang Yuxin has made her stand, and so have Chen Lidong and Xu Miaomiao. They greeted Teacher Jin respectively, who then reciprocated, before they all left together – Teacher Song included.

“Teacher Jin, with these newcomers only further dampening your class’s prospects, how do you plan to ensure that the college acceptance rate doesn’t plummet? Our school doesn’t care about your credentials, awards, or outstanding performances. What we value is the college acceptance rate, how many of your students can get into college?”

Teacher Song is the first, and Teacher Jin is also the first, though of course, the latter only in reverse.

Teacher Jin heaved a sigh, but she chose not to contest with Teacher Song since it’s the truth.

“Thank you for the reminder, Teacher Song. Regardless of whether it’s special relations or merit-based admissions, they will all become students in my class. I shall treat them fairly.”

Teacher Song gave her a cryptic smile, then strutted out of the room in her high heels.

Teacher Jin couldn’t help but touch her own face. It really feels like her smile is forced. She hadn’t expected that three more students would join her class after she delivered some materials to the principal.

In fact, this might as well be the case, even if it’s not these three students, it would be some other three. There will always be some admitted through connections, bad reports or whatnot, she doesn’t have many good students, but she sure has plenty of connected ones.

She gently brushed her hair behind her ears, the wind at this moment seemed to carry some inexplicable heaviness.

Miaomiao’s father returned home with the three kids, their mood dejected during the commute.

“Do you guys want to go to the fifth class?” he asked his children, because the fifth class of the school is the top class, that everyone knows about. The school, the fifth class, both marked by the number five, easy to remember.

Even a fool would know that if you want to get into this school, the class to enter is the fifth class, the top class, the rocket class, and the school with the best college acceptance rate, which means the highest chance of getting into college.

“Dad, I don’t want to go to the fifth class.”

Xu Miaomiao plops down on the couch, “Every time I see Teacher Song, I feel like throwing up. If I were in her class, I’d rather throw up every day. Then how am I supposed to attend school or go to college?”

“You…” Miaomiao’s father feels like he’s about to cough up blood.

“Do you guys have to worry about the teacher so much? Just don’t look at her face,” but honestly, just thinking about Teacher Song’s melon face makes him crave to wring her neck, let alone Tang Yuxin their lot who needs to see that teacher every day.

“I’m not going to class five either,” Chen Lidong frowns, “Although the fifth class is the top class, it’s just too much pressure, I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle it.”

Miaomiao’s dad also contemplates this issue, being in the top class isn’t necessarily a good thing, especially for his two kids who only started to take their studies seriously in junior high. Their foundation is already somewhat weak. They have just improved their grades recently, but if they go to the top class and get discouraged, then what?

Wouldn’t that just be a lot of gain and loss?

“Yuxin, what do you think?” Miaomiao’s dad wanted to hear what Tang Yuxin thought. If she wants to go to the top class, then no matter what, he will get all three of them into the top class. He believes that as long as Tang Yuxin is there and her grades are good, there should be no problems for the other two who study with her.

Finally, she was asked.

Tang Yuxin knew that the final decision would be hers. Just, giving a soft sigh, she is merely an average high school student. She doesn’t have magical powers.

It’s not that everyone who follows her will have meat to eat – what if they get food poisoning?

“Uncle Xu, I want to go to a regular class.”

She dislikes the idea of facing people she doesn’t like, and that Teacher Song happens to be one of those people. She didn’t get in through any connections, there’s no need to bear other people’s temper.

Not to mention, they have to get along for three years. Is she going to face that resentful face for three whole years?
