Chapter 110: Arrogance!

Page 1/3

Jin Jiejiao bowed sincerely to the gathered parents and said earnestly, “Hello, parents. I am Jin Jiejiao, the homeroom teacher of Class 12. I apologize for making you come all the way to the school. I am willing to resign—”

“On what grounds do you think my child cannot be taught well by this teacher?” Gu Ci interrupted sharply before Jin Jiejiao could finish.

Jin Jiejiao barely had time to stop Gu Ci before she was pulled aside.

In fact, Jin Jiejiao’s teaching ability was not poor. Besides teaching Class 12, she also taught mathematics for Class 10. Although Class 10’s math scores were not the very top at the school, their average scores consistently matched those of Class 9.

It must be noted that the school allocated classes almost entirely based on scores. The fact that Class 10’s math average could rival Class 9’s was telling.

The only unfortunate thing was that she had ended up with the notorious troublemakers of Class 12.

Over the past three years, she had tried countless methods to spark the students’ interest in learning, but all had failed.

However, this did not mean her teaching was subpar. Even if another teacher replaced her as Class 12’s homeroom teacher, no one could do better than she had.

But the parents didn’t care about any of this.

Rather than worrying about their children’s grades declining due to a change in homeroom teacher, they were more so venting their frustration because they had already come to the school and couldn’t direct their anger at Gu Ci. So, they turned their ire on Jin Jiejiao instead.

Only in this way could their loud protest at school today save face.

“Doesn’t Class 12’s performance speak for itself?” one parent said.

“Exactly! There are no students who can’t be taught, only teachers who can’t teach! The reason Class 12 has performed like this for three years without changing classes is because this teacher neither cares nor knows how to teach. Such a teacher should never be allowed to be our children’s homeroom teacher!”

Gu Ci raised an eyebrow. “Just because of our class’s grades?”

“Yes! Because grades are the most important thing for students. If she can’t even improve grades, what else can she teach?”

“What if, next month’s exam, 80% of our class ranks within the top 100 in the entire school?”

At these words, everyone present gasped sharply.

They saw a group of students, radiating youthful arrogance, walking over from behind.

That bold statement came from the mouth of the boy leading them.

Such confidence was utterly audacious!

After the initial shock, the parents couldn’t help but sneer.

“Eighty percent of the class inside the top 100? I think if even one or two of your students make it into the top 400, you should count yourselves lucky.”

To maintain teaching quality, the school only admits around 450 students each year, with class sizes hovering around 40.

Class 12 was especially small, with only 31 students.

The sarcasm behind “one or two entering the top 400” was already heavy.

Xiao Yang sneered coldly, completely unfazed by their provocation. “Enough nonsense. If we do it, won’t our homeroom teacher deserve to be the head of teaching?”

Gu Ci raised an eyebrow, watching all of Class 12’s students showing full support for Xiao Yang’s words.

Suddenly, she felt that the mountain of study materials she had brought might soon find a new owner.

“Right! Forget eighty percent. If sixty percent of your class can rank among the top 100 in the school, then not only can your homeroom teacher be the head of teaching, we wouldn’t even mind if she came to teach our kids!”

The parents, already fuming at the students’ bold claims, quickly agreed.

They were successful professionals outside, yet being challenged so brazenly by a group of students ignited their fury.

This time, they were determined to teach these arrogant youths a lesson!

Who did they think they were?

Did they really believe that just by mouthing platitudes about not underestimating the poor, they could suddenly become academic prodigies, like protagonists in novels?

How naive!

Even the principal thought Gu Ci’s words were a bit impulsive. He would believe it if she claimed she would surpass the top student in Class 1.

But for Class 12 to achieve that in the next monthly exam? That was pure fantasy.

Sighing with worry, Principal Ji pondered a question.

If Class 12 were to be completely withdrawn, would Gu Ci leave with them?

At this moment, a student from Class 12 suddenly spoke.

“Manager Sun, so that’s how you usually are outside…”

Hearing the words “Manager Sun,” one parent representative suddenly turned to look at the speaking student.

The smile on his face froze completely, shifting into a mixture of laughter and tears. “L-Little Young Master, you’re also at this school?”

Who could explain why the young master of his top boss’s family was here?

Seeing this scene, the other parents couldn’t help but feel sorry for the unlucky parent.

But soon, they realized...

Huh? Doesn’t the girl standing in the middle of Class 12 look just like the little princess of the investment tycoon their company was courting?

Damn! Isn’t that the youngest brother of their company’s chairman?

...

...

Class 1, Gu Ziran glanced at Weibo one last time.

The situation was still stuck at everyone demanding the dismissal of Jin Jiejiao and Gu Ci.

Gu Ziran switched to WeChat and sent the final payment to an account.

Shortly after, the other party accepted the money and sent a friendly cooperation emoji.

“All good: Pleasure working with you. Feel free to reach out if you need anything else. /Rose”

“Zhi: No need. Let’s delete each other. I want you to forget about this matter from now on.”

“All good: OK.”

Seeing this reply, Gu Ziran deleted all their chat history one by one and then removed the contact.

Finally, she deactivated the WeChat account, which had been registered not long ago with a new SIM card.

If Gu Ci hadn’t insisted on flaunting herself in front of her, Gu Ziran wouldn’t have bothered dealing with her.

Normally, she wouldn’t even glance at someone like Gu Ci, who came from a rural background.

But since Gu Ci held such a status, just thinking about it made Gu Ziran feel deeply irritated.

Since so many years had passed with the wrong choices made, and everyone was doing well, why couldn’t she bear to see Gu Ci living well and had to come back?

Fortunately, this person was about to disappear from her life.

Her expression returned to calm.

She walked to the school restroom, took out one of the SIM cards from her phone, and tossed it into the trash bin...
