Students from two other classes did not answer yesterday's question.

He Tiantian named the dessert and asked the students to stand up and continue.

All the students came to class today, even those who didn't come yesterday.

After finishing her class, He Tiantian packed her things to leave. Several students who hadn't come yesterday walked up to her together.

"Teacher He, I'm sorry, I was sick yesterday and couldn't come to class," said a very tall and handsome boy. "Please give us another chance, Teacher He. We will come to class from now on."

He Tiantian was a little unhappy when she heard this, and said, "You are students, isn't it your duty to come to class? If you are sick, then bring a doctor's certificate and a sick leave slip signed by the headmaster."

"Teacher He, can't you make an exception?" Wu Mian raised an eyebrow. This teacher was difficult to deal with!

“Impossible,” He Tiantian said. “Those who didn’t come don’t have all their grades deducted. I’ve made it very clear that four roll calls are the standard. Missing one time results in a quarter of your grade being deducted. If you’re here to ask me to make an exception, then don’t say anything. If you don’t miss any more classes, your grades won’t be low.”

After He Tiantian finished speaking, she glanced at the students, her expression serious, and left with her things.

After He Tiantian left, everyone looked at Wu Mian.

"Wu Mian, what should we do?" a classmate asked. "Will our grades be affected?"

"Wu Mian, please beg your uncle, maybe he can help us change it," another classmate said. Wu Mian's uncle is the deputy director, who has influence in the department.

Wu Mian looked gloomy, feeling that He Tiantian had humiliated him. Just because someone is pretty doesn't mean they can be so unforgiving!

She's just a junior teacher, and her uncle is the director. She can just go to her uncle about this; she doesn't need to worry about what the teacher thinks.

However, Wu Mian wasn't stupid; he knew he only needed to do well in his own studies and couldn't let others do the same.

"Forget it, everyone can just come to class from now on," Wu Mian said. "There are still three roll calls left, otherwise we won't get any points."

After saying that, Wu Mian left with a gloomy face.

The students behind him scoffed, "You think you're so great?"

The goal has not been achieved yet.

However, some clever students knew that Wu Mian might want to talk to Deputy Director Wu privately. These ordinary students weren't so lucky, since they didn't have an uncle who was a director!

After class, He Tiantian returned to her office, drank a lot of water, and calmed her anger.

I was a little hungry, so I took out some snacks to share with everyone.

Fortunately, apart from Teacher Chen, Teacher Zhou, Teacher Xiao Chen, Teacher Liu, and Teacher He Tiantian, none of them had classes.

He Tiantian took out four pieces of cheesecake, gave one to Teacher Zhou and said, "Teacher Zhou, come on, have something to eat to replenish your energy."

"Oh my, this is a rare treat! I'll have a taste." Teacher Zhou took it, took a bite, and said, "It tastes good, easy to chew."

He Tiantian gave another piece to Teacher Liu, and then said to Teacher Chen, "Come and take it yourself!"

He Tiantian took out a small box from her bag, inside which was a small plate and a small spoon. She put a piece of food in the box and ate it with the spoon.

"Oh, one bite and I feel so much better," He Tiantian said with a smile. "My stomach has finally stopped growling."

"Teacher He, this is delicious! Did you buy it at Sanfengqiao?" Teacher Chen asked. "I bought a chocolate cake before, it tasted great, but it was very expensive!"

"Yes, I prefer cheesecake," He Tiantian said, "but chocolate is also good."

"Where is that place?" Teacher Liu asked. "Where is it? It tastes so good, I'll go buy some for my parents."

"It's right near Binhe Park and Shaanxi Street. Just ask about Sanfeng Bridge, and someone will tell you how to get there," He Tiantian said enthusiastically. These were potential customers, after all.

"Okay, I'll buy some after get off work this afternoon," said Teacher Liu.

With something in her belly, He Tiantian felt a little more comfortable.

When He Tiantian went to the restroom, she ran into Wu Mian.

Wu Mian smiled, glanced at He Tiantian, and then went into Deputy Director Wu's office.

He Tiantian sneered, "Heh, so you have a powerful backer!"

She just wouldn't agree!

Wu Mian went inside and told his uncle about the roll call and the deduction of his grades, and asked his uncle to help him deal with the matter.

If it were any other teacher, Deputy Director Wu could simply say a few words.

But he hadn't figured out He Tiantian's temperament yet, and this policy was proposed by He Tiantian, which he and the director also approved of, and it was about to be implemented throughout the school.

If he pleads for her at this time, wouldn't he lose credibility in front of He Tiantian?

After all, Deputy Director Wu is only in his forties and is a very ambitious person. He still wants to climb the ranks and doesn't want to offend a potentially powerful figure because of his nephew.

If He Tiantian is unhappy and says something to the dean, his position will probably be limited to this.

“How many times have I told you to pay attention in class? Pay attention in class! But you just won’t listen,” Deputy Director Wu scolded. “This is only the first time. You still have three more chances. You’ll get fifteen points every time you come to class.”

"Uncle, I really want to get the scholarship. With these few points difference, I might not be able to get it," Wu Mian said. His family doesn't lack money, but it's an honor. It will look better on his academic record after graduation and he can get more things.

Deputy Director Wu sneered, "If you want a scholarship, why are you skipping classes? You're not only useless, but you're also embarrassing me."

"Uncle!" Wu Mian cried anxiously, "Aren't you going to help me?"

"Go back to your studies and pay attention. Don't think that just because you have an uncle at school, you can slack off," Director Wu said. "And don't go looking for Teacher He about this; it's useless. If you drag me down and I don't get promoted, let's see what you'll gain!"

Wu Mian was dumbfounded.

He was the only male in the Wu family. His second uncle only had one daughter, so his second uncle treated him very well and was willing to mentor him.

I never expected my second uncle to say something like that.

Could it be that He Tiantian really has powerful backing, so much so that even her second uncle doesn't dare to touch her?

"Second Uncle, I will study hard." Wu Mian wasn't stupid. His second uncle's attitude was already very clear. If he couldn't see it, then his second uncle would abandon him from now on.

Deputy Director Wu was somewhat relieved that his nephew wasn't stupid.

"Go back and study hard, don't be absent again," Deputy Director Wu said. "There are so many outstanding students in the school. If you don't work hard and don't stand out, even if I wanted to help you, I couldn't!"

"Second Uncle, I understand. I will work hard from now on," Wu Mian said solemnly, indicating that he could no longer be as lazy as before.

Even if his second uncle helps him, he still needs to get good grades!

If his second uncle helps him without good grades, it will be too obvious, and if someone reports him, his second uncle will also be in trouble!
