Chapter 22: Come in if you want
The discussion inside stopped abruptly.
Two men and a woman all looked at the short-haired girl at the door.
Su Nanzhi finally found a pair of black trousers among the clothes prepared by Zhang Yue. She paired it with a white top with puff sleeves. The neckline was a bit loose, revealing her delicate collarbone.
This is a combination that is hard to find among the pile of skirts. Wearing a skirt will hinder mobility, which is what Su Nanzhi doesn't like.
She didn't wear makeup, but her complexion was fair enough, a little sickly, and her features were pretty, but not like those of a girl.
"Hello, I'm here to complete the admission procedures."
When everyone in the office looked over, Su Nanzhi could easily tell who was the principal.
She seemed to have seen this middle-aged man in the news on the day of the college entrance examination one year.
"Is this Su Nanzhi?" The principal stood up from his seat and immediately said after seeing Su Nanzhi nod, "Come here quickly. Let me introduce you to your new homeroom teacher, Mr. Lin Wencheng."
There was also a slightly chubby man next to the principal. According to Su Nanzhi, he had kind eyes and brows, and at first glance he looked like the guy who soaked wolfberries in a thermos.
The woman next to him was from the admissions office, and she was the one who handled Su Nanzhi's admission procedures.
Before Su Nanzhi arrived, a mild discussion had already taken place between the principal and the kind-looking head teacher.
Teacher Lin: "Principal, the new student has had no academic performance for nearly a year. I think she may not be able to keep up with the learning progress of Class 1."
There are many disadvantages of not keeping up with the learning progress. Students’ confidence will be greatly hit, which will lead to inferiority and self-degradation.
As an ambitious and aspiring teacher, how could Lin Wencheng tolerate such a thing happening?
The principal said: "Student Su just took a year off due to health reasons. If she wants to join the first class, then let her join."
Teacher Lin: “?”
Just come in if you want?
Initially, only 30 students were admitted to the class. The 31st student was the nephew of the deputy director of the Education Bureau. He used his connections but still couldn’t get in. Now we tell him that he can get in if he wants?
Oh my god!
Was the principal finally defeated by money and power?
Perhaps the expression of "You actually accepted bribes" in Lin Wencheng's eyes was too obvious, so the principal glared at him.
"Student Su is Su Li's daughter. She was offered a place in our school more than ten years ago. Back then, I boasted that Su Li's child could attend any class she wanted. Do you want me to break my promise?"
"Only the best students can enter Class 1. Isn't that what you said... Wait, whose daughter do you say she is?"
"Su Li's."
"Oh, which Su Li?"
"That's the Su Li you were thinking of."
Teacher Lin was silent.
As an ordinary middle-aged overweight man, Teacher Lin was once young. He was also a middle school student. Moreover, as a top student who was able to serve as the head teacher of a senior high school science class, he was also a top student.
But he was unlucky, as he was born in the same era and was in the same class as a girl named Su Li.
The shadow of being crushed back then seems to still hang over our heads.
At that time, Lin Wencheng had just become a physics teacher in the science class. He thought that the shadow of his past had finally left him, but when the news of Su Li's death came, Teacher Lin, a grown man, burst into tears.
It’s like you have been saving money to buy a 5G phone, and when you are almost saving enough, it is reported to be substandard.
I wonder if it’s the cycle of karma that Su Li’s daughter is going to be handed over to him?
