As soon as Feng Linlin finished speaking, Ye Linchen's first reaction was: Zhang Tingting and Meng Zihan finally couldn't hold back anymore and were about to start causing trouble!
"Let's talk outside."
She stood up, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and pulled Feng Linlin along as they walked out.
The library is a place for studying, and it's especially quiet, so it's not a good place to talk about these things.
Seeing this, Li Hongying knew something was wrong, so she quickly closed her book, grabbed her handbag, and followed closely behind them.
"Xiao Chen, wait for me!"
The three of them hurriedly left the library and jogged along the tree-lined path towards the main gate of the School of Economics and Management.
"Did Zhang Tingting and Meng Zihan come to cause trouble?"
Ye Linchen asked as he ran.
"It's not Zhang Tingting, it's Teacher Ma."
"Teacher Ma?" Ye Linchen asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's Teacher Ma."
Feng Linlin, panting, briefly recounted the whole story to Ye Linchen.
“This morning, Teacher Ma held up a big-character poster and stood at the gate of your college with Meng Zihan, just like migrant workers demanding payment, denouncing you.”
Aunt Wang, Ye Linchen's neighbor in the rented room at the steel plant, once called Ye Linchen and told her that Teacher Ma had come to see her.
Ye Linchen guessed it was about Teacher Ma's job.
She had thought that Teacher Ma would come to Jiangda University to plead for her again, but she never expected it to be in this way.
What did the big-character poster say?
"Only a few words."
Feng Linlin read aloud the contents of the big-character poster.
"Ye Linchen, give me back my job!"
"These words were huge and written in red ink, so you could see them from a distance. They looked bloody, like a letter written in blood. When I saw them, I was almost scared to death!"
"The students who were passing by all asked what had happened. Several students from your Finance Class 2 also went there."
"And then?" Li Hongying asked eagerly, wishing she had been there at the time.
Feng Linlin said to Ye Linchen, "When Teacher Ma saw that more and more people were gathering, she started complaining and brought up the matter of changing your college application. She even said that she lost her job and has no means of support, all because of you!"
"Change your college application?"
Li Hongying's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Oh my god! Xiao Chen, you actually encountered something like this? Teacher Ma is so unethical!"
The students watching shared the same attitude as Li Hongying.
Hearing the words "change college application" made me realize something was wrong.
Many people immediately realized they shouldn't have gotten involved and dispersed without asking further questions.
College application choices are a major event that affects a person's future. Each choice is made after careful consideration and weighing of options.
As a teacher, you casually changed a student's college application; that's changing someone's destiny.
No one could tolerate this.
From a student's perspective, they would naturally understand Ye Linchen and wouldn't sympathize with Teacher Ma.
Some people even criticized Teacher Ma.
"As a teacher, your job is to teach your students properly. Why are you doing something like secretly changing students' college applications? Do you have nothing better to do?"
"Who do you think you are? A savior? It's her freedom to choose where she wants to apply. What gives you the right to make decisions for her?"
"If it were me, I wouldn't forgive you either! You're absolutely disgusting, and you still have the nerve to come here and complain!"
"Losing your job is too lenient; you should be sentenced to prison!"
Upon seeing this, Meng Zihan was so anxious that she stomped her feet.
This is completely different from what she had imagined!
Why is everyone criticizing Teacher Ma, and no one standing up for her or condemning Ye Linchen?
Just then, Sun Xueyong, who had been removed from his position as safety committee member by Ye Linchen, arrived with several classmates.
He spotted the eye-catching poster at a glance.
"'Ye Linchen'? What happened to Ye Linchen? What trouble did she get into?"
Sun Xueyong quickly pushed through the crowd to get in front of Teacher Ma and asked, "What's wrong with Ye Linchen? Did he do something wrong?"
When Meng Zihan saw that someone was finally willing to listen to her seriously, she immediately started crying.
"You know Meng Zihan, she's a master at playing the victim. When she starts crying, the tears just flow like they're free."
"She said you were an insecure and lacked confidence, and you didn't dare to apply to good schools. Teacher Ma knew your true level and didn't want you to be overlooked, so out of kindness, she helped you change your application and apply to a better university and major."
"The result is that you were admitted to Jiangcheng University, and it's the best finance program."
"If it were anyone else, they would have been grateful to Teacher Ma long ago. But you, instead of being grateful, repaid kindness with enmity, went to the school to cause trouble, demanded that Teacher Ma be severely punished, and caused Teacher Ma to lose his job."
"Now, Teacher Ma's child needs to go to school and eat, and her elderly father is waiting for help. All the pressure is on her shoulders. In just a few months, she has aged ten years!"
Ye Linchen could easily guess that Sun Xueyong was narrow-minded and had always wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge on her. Now, he would not let her off easily and would definitely join Meng Zihan in stirring up trouble.
Sure enough, Sun Xueyong immediately became indignant and angrily accused Ye Linchen.
"Ye Linchen has gone too far! He's utterly ungrateful and morally corrupt!"
With Sun Xueyong's support, Meng Zihan brought up her high school days again.
They said Ye Linchen used to steal things, cheat, and even drugged her food, causing her to miss the college entrance examination and the opportunity to go to university.
"I never imagined our class monitor would be this kind of person. It's terrifying! He doesn't deserve to be a class committee member anymore, and he doesn't deserve to stay in school!"
