Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Competing for a Course 2 Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Competing for a Course 2 “Am I not just borrowing one of your classes?” Li Qiui didn’t think she had done anything wrong at all, “At worst, I can swap a class with you.”
Now she was claiming it first, whether she would actually swap later on was another matter.
Chen Jie, looking sternly at a few students who had just returned from the restroom, said, “Teacher Li, I hope you don’t waste our class ti.”
A class is only forty minutes long, precious indeed. With one extra problem explained, it’s possible the students could score a few more points.
Being watched by so many students, Li Qiui felt embarrassed and her anger surged. Chen Jie was less and less respectful towards her.
Li Qiui decided to give Chen Jie a lesson to show him who had the real authority in this class. “Su Xiaohong, go call the principal,” she said proudly, glancing at Chen Jie afterward.
Having taught at the school for so many years and having so kinship with the principal—though a distant one—she was certainly in a better position than Chen Jie. The principal would surely side with her.
“…”
Su Xiaohong looked at Li Qiui, then at Chen Jie, almost about to cry. Calling the principal would an offending Teacher Chen.
Not calling the principal would an offending Teacher Li. With so many people in the class, why was it her who was asked to go?
After waiting a mont and seeing Su Xiaohong had not moved, Li Qiui asked sharply, “Su Xiaohong, didn’t you hear speak?”
Scared, Su Xiaohong shivered and awkwardly stood up, throwing Chen Jie an uneasy glance.
Li Qiui thought Chen Jie was surely a bit scared and decided to give him a way out. “Teacher Chen, this isn’t really such a big issue. If you’re willing to swap classes now, we won’t need to call the principal. He’s quite busy lately; it’s better not to disturb him if we can avoid it.”
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaohong imdiately stopped in her tracks.
“Go call the principal,” said Chen Jie, this ti.
With both teachers now asking for the principal, Su Xiaohong lost her hesitation and ran off swiftly.
Refusing a face-saving way out?
“Teacher Chen, you insist on inviting the principal over, huh?” Li Qiui’s face couldn’t get any uglier. How dare he confront her so boldly, not giving her, a senior, any respect.
“It’s your actions that make the principal’s visit unavoidable,” replied Chen Jie.
“You…”
Li Qiui was so angry she couldn’t finish her sentence. True, she had taken the class first, but she did it to teach the students. She couldn’t believe the principal wouldn’t support her.
Just you wait.
Snorting, she sat down to wait for the principal.
Chen Jie ignored her, put the chalk box down, picked up the eraser, and began to wipe the words off the blackboard, making Li Qiui’s eyes nearly bulge out. Yet Chen Jie just carried on and started writing math problems on his own.
“Teacher Chen’s got guts, taking a stand against Li Qiui.”
Lu Siyuan had been indifferent towards Chen Jie before; the girls might worship him, but as a guy, he certainly didn’t. But now, he suddenly felt that Chen Jie had so backbone, not intimidated by Li Qiui.
Shen Mianmian wasn’t surprised by Chen Jie standing up to Li Qiui. She had noticed it in the office last ti; Chen Jie wasn’t afraid of Li Qiui, he respected her as a senior.
But if Li Qiui loses her dignity, Chen Jie isn’t one to be trifled with.
“Who do you think will win this round?”
With a sneer, Lu Siyuan replied, “The principal isn’t senile.”
Li Qiui was wrong for taking the class in the first place; mathematics is also a core subject, and there’s no reason she should have to make way for her.
Plainly speaking, Li Qiui is just too arrogant, spoiled by previous indulgences.
Mianmian laughed, “Our Teacher Li is not only good at teaching, but her acting skills are quite decent too.” She had potential for a drama.
