Chapter 128 An Unbelievable Coincidence

On Monday, while on the bus to school, Lu Yanhe discovered that someone had sent a message in the class group chat the previous night, saying that the school would ultimately retain Chu Saiying's recommendation qualification.

Although many classmates were dissatisfied, Lu Yanhe was not too surprised.

If there were procedural problems, this matter wouldn't have been passed on to Chu Saiying in the first place.

Even if many people have opinions about this matter and feel it is unfair, from the school's perspective, no one can criticize them.

Xu Zijun gave up the spot herself; they simply filled the vacancy according to the rules.

If we really want to investigate, we should investigate Chu Saiying and Xu Zijun.

Even so, Lu Yanhe still felt somewhat disappointed. Even knowing that some things are unlikely to happen, he still silently hoped for them to happen.

After the bus arrived at the station, Lu Yanhe got off and walked towards the school gate.

The sunlight streamed down from the sycamore trees overhead, and it wasn't too hot; it just felt comfortable.

As Lu Yanhe was walking forward, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar profile.

This surprised him.

It's mainly this profile view that he saw last night.

Qiu Ling's blind date is Su Su.

Lu Yanhe looked at the man standing at the school gate with a puzzled expression. He was wearing a silver-gray suit, his hair was neatly combed, and he was handsome, upright, and full of energy.

How did he end up here?

Lu Yanhe was looking at him with suspicion when he suddenly seemed to realize that someone was watching him and turned around.

Lu Yanhe quickly averted his gaze, pretending that nothing had happened.

"You must be Lu Yanhe, right?"

Su Su suddenly took the initiative to talk to him.

Lu Yanhe stared at him in astonishment.

Su Su said, "I am Su Su, the new history teacher at No. 13 Middle School."

Lu Yanhe was even more surprised.

Is that such a... coincidence?

I met him yesterday as Qiu Ling's blind date, and today he's become the new history teacher at No. 13 Middle School?

"Hello, Teacher Su." Lu Yanhe was inwardly shocked, but outwardly he greeted her very respectfully.

Su Su said, "I knew there was a star student at the school a long time ago, but I didn't expect to run into him on the very first day."

His attitude was very gentle.

If it weren't for what happened in the parking lot yesterday, Lu Yanhe would definitely think that Su Su was a very gentle and refined teacher.

"Teacher Su, I'll go in first," Lu Yanhe said.

Su Su nodded, but followed him into the school.

Lu Yanhe hesitated, unsure whether it would be impolite to simply shake him off and leave.

Su Su started talking to him again.

"I heard that the school has been making a huge fuss about the independent enrollment recommendation quota recently, and even the school forum has been shut down. Do you know the specifics?" Su Su asked.

Lu Yanhe then gave him a brief explanation of the whole story.

Su Su nodded and said, "I think I understand now. No wonder there's been so much discussion about it."

"Does Teacher Su think the school should cancel Chu Saiying's eligibility for the extension?" Lu Yanhe asked.

"From what I understand so far, there are opinions on whether to cancel or not. The key is what kind of impact the school hopes this matter will have on everyone," Su Su said. "From my personal point of view, I certainly hope that the school will cancel Chu Saiying's eligibility for the extension. It should belong to whoever it belongs to, and these quotas should not be tradable."

Su Su's last words touched Lu Yanhe.

That's right, not everything in this world is tradable.

Even if both parties reach an agreement on the terms of the deal, it does not necessarily mean that it is fair.

Lu Yanhe had a sudden realization—he had never agreed with Luo Zicheng's notion of fairness, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

Until I heard Su Su's words.

"Is today Ms. Su's first day here?"

"Yes." Su Su nodded. "I'm here to report for duty today."

Lu Yanhe asked, "Which class does Teacher Su teach?"

“Class 4, Grade 11,” Su Su said. “Our previous teacher, Mr. Chen, is on sick leave, so I’m taking over his class.”

"I thought you were here to teach the senior year of high school."

"Huh? Why?"

“I can tell you’re very familiar with the senior year of high school,” Lu Yanhe said.

I know him as a senior high school student, and I also know about Chu Saiying and Xu Zijun.

Su Su smiled and said, "When you come to work at a new company, you always need to know some things beforehand. It's just that you senior high school students are the most talked-about people lately, and it's all about you guys."

-

The chance encounter with Su Su made Lu Yanhe's first action upon arriving at the classroom to send a message.

—Your (Officer Qiu) blind date yesterday has actually become a teacher at our school!

Yan Liang still replied instantly: Shocked, what a coincidence!

Qiu Ling replied three minutes later: Is it really such a coincidence? I only knew he was a teacher, but I didn't know he was a teacher at your school.

Lu Yanhe replied to Qiu Ling: He started his job today.

Qiu Ling: I was wondering why. Yesterday he told me that he wasn't a local from Yuming and hadn't worked there before.

Lu Yanhe: Officer Qiu, is there something going on between you and him?

Qiu Ling: What do you think?

Lu Yanhe: I don't think there's any chance, but I can't help it if there's chemistry between you two. If things develop between you two later, I'll be more polite to him.

Qiu Ling: What else can you do but be rude to him?

Lu Yanhe: Didn't that woman say yesterday that this guy is a complete scumbag? If that's true, I need to help you see his true nature clearly.

Qiu Ling: Don't act recklessly like Li Zhibai. He's a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), and you're going to follow suit?

Lu Yanhe: The main thing is to make sure you don't get deceived.

Qiu Ling: Don't worry, he can't fool me. There's no chemistry between us. I already made it clear to him yesterday that we're not a good match.

Lu Yanhe: Then I'm relieved.

Qiu Ling: You little brats, why are you so concerned about my affairs? You should worry about yourselves first.

Lu Yanhe put down his phone and smiled.

The next second, he heard Chen Siqi's irritable voice coming from outside the classroom.

"Where's Hong Zhixing? Tell her to come out here!" Chen Siqi's tone was as irritable as an enraged lioness.

Lu Yanhe hurriedly ran out.

Chen Siqi stood at the door of Class 4, her face stern, as if covered with a layer of frost.

"What are you doing?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Hearing Lu Yanhe's voice, Chen Siqi turned around and glanced at him, saying, "Don't worry about it."

Lu Yanhe was genuinely worried that Chen Siqi might do something rash.

He went straight up to her and pulled her aside.

"You're not going to cause trouble for Hong Zhixing because of Xu Zijun, are you?"

"No way?" Chen Siqi rolled her eyes, then turned and shouted towards the door of Class 4, "Make Hong Zhixing come out here!"

They're incredibly fierce.

Lu Yanhe was startled by the fierce voice.

A weak voice came from the classroom of Class 4: "She hasn't come yet."

Chen Siqi: "..."

Lu Yanhe felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over Chen Siqi's burning rage, leaving him nowhere to vent his anger, and he couldn't help but laugh.
