"Zhou Xiang from your school bullied students in our class and he must be called in for questioning."
Before Principal Xue could speak, the female teacher spoke first.
Principal Li looked at Principal Xue sarcastically, "Is this the quality of the teachers in your school? No wonder the students you teach have no quality either!"
"You..." The female teacher pointed her finger at Principal Li angrily.
Principal Xue said to the female teacher with a serious face, "Teacher Yao, please pay attention to your words and actions and basic courtesy."
Teacher Yao put down his hand in disappointment.
Principal Xue turned around and put on a smile. "Principal Li, neither you nor I know what happened at the time. Can you please ask the person involved to explain it yourself?"
Principal Li nodded, "Okay!"
As soon as Principal Li finished speaking, Ma Shasha jumped out and said, "Zhou Xiang made us cough up our bile. Everyone is feeling unwell, so we can't participate in the trials. This means she's missing out on a few opponents. Her intentions are sinister!"
Principal Li shook his head and looked at Principal Xue with a smile.
Principal Xue had no choice but to continue listening. After Ma Shasha finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Xiang and said, "Zhou Xiang, go ahead and speak!"
Zhou Xiang stood up, nodded politely to Principal Xue and Principal Li, and recounted the situation and conversation at that time.
Then he said, "Which of what I said is not true? You can't accept the facts, you vomit on your own, and you blame me for bullying you. Am I the only one bullying a group of you?
Haha, no wonder the county ranks last every year. How can students like you who don't even know about farmyard manure beat other county schools? Is it by empty talk or your distortion of right and wrong?
Or is it because of the fashionable clothes you wear? You look down on us country bumpkins, but what is there in your clothes that wasn't grown, raised, and sold by the country bumpkins so that you can wear it?"
Seeing that Ma Shasha and the others still didn't understand, he laughed sarcastically, "What an idiot! How dare you look down on others? The leather shoes on your feet, whether they are made of pigskin, cowhide or sheepskin, are all raised by country bumpkins. Your skirts, whether they are made of cotton or linen, are all grown by country bumpkins, and your sweaters are made of wool from sheared wool.
Unless you say everything you wear is made of acrylic and polyester, then that's what the workers produced, and it has nothing to do with us country bumpkins."
The students at Xuzhen Primary School burst into laughter. How could she dare say that? Acrylic and polyester are good, but they're low-end fabrics. The truly high-end ones are wool and tweed.
Ma Shasha and several female classmates blushed, and Teacher Yao planned to go forward and argue with them.
Just then, I heard applause from outside the door. "Well said, very well said. You don't even have basic common sense. You only rely on the little knowledge from books to make up stories out of thin air. It would be strange if you don't rank last."
Principal Xue, there are problems with the quality of teachers and students in your school. They look down on farmers and mock them as country bumpkins. What is she herself?
"A high-ranking official's child? If she is, then she should go back to where she belongs. Our temple is too small to accommodate her!"
"Director Liu."
"Director Liu."
Principal Li and Principal Xue quickly stood up to greet them. The female teacher immediately stepped back a few steps to the corner. Liu Xuewen glanced at her and shook his head. Such a teacher would lead the students astray, so he just kept protecting her.
When Ma Shasha and the others heard the principal call this person director, they knew he must be a leader of the Education Bureau. Although they were ridiculed by the leader of the Education Bureau, they did not dare to say anything. What if he was really kicked out and not allowed to study?
"Students, since you believe Zhou Xiang deliberately made you vomit in order to reduce your opponents, may I ask, was it Zhou Xiang who went to find you?"
Ma Shasha and the others shook their heads with vague eyes.
"You deliberately went to Zhou Xiang, didn't you? After Zhou Xiang told you the truth, you went to the teacher to complain. The teacher, without asking any questions, went to the principal. Then, the principal called Zhou Xiang over the radio, causing him to be notified on the loudspeaker before the exam and to be watched by all the students. Whose motives are these?"
After Director Liu finished scolding Ma Shasha, he looked at Principal Xue and said, "You're not up to standard either. For the sake of your own students, you used the loudspeaker to call out to students from other schools before the exam. If you have poor mental qualities, how can you do well in the exam? Everyone knows your little tricks. Otherwise, how could they just use the loudspeaker to call people?
You're not focused on the right path. This is just a verbal warning. If you affect the county's plans for your own selfish interests next time, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Principal Xue's face felt hot as he felt a layer of skin peel off. He nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, this is just the first time. It won't happen again."
"Humph! Good to know! Everyone, go away! The exam is about to start."
Principal Li took his classmates out to find an examination room.
Director Liu said a few more words to Ma Shasha and the others, "Zhou Xiang also vomited for a long time when she was taking the exam in front of all the county principals. She was dizzy from the car's jolting. She drank a few sips of water and then took the exam again, but she still got full marks. I want to see if you can reach your usual level today. Don't blame everything on others or some objective factors. Who can you blame during the college entrance examination?"
Ma Shasha and the others went out with red faces. They had to get the highest score today, otherwise, they would be embarrassed in front of their leaders.
Director Liu looked at the female teacher meaningfully for a few times and walked out of the office. He said that he must monitor the discipline in the examination room. They were so arrogant that they really thought they were the best primary school in the county. They didn't know their place and could be praised or demoted, appointed or dismissed.
Principal Xue was terrified by Director Liu's last few glances. Is there something wrong with Teacher Yao? He still needed to be careful. Previously, the Education Bureau had been so indulgent because this school was full of top students. Now, with the emergence of Zhou Xiang, a dark horse, all future resources would undoubtedly be divided equally among the five county-level primary schools.
In fact, Principal Xue did not recognize Zhou Xiang, otherwise he would know why all the resources were later favored by No. 5 Primary School. It was Principal Yang who took advantage of Zhou Xiang's golden signboard.
Zhou Xiang found the examination room and was stared at by everyone as soon as he entered.
Zhou Xiang ignored everything and found his desk, then took out a ballpoint pen from his pocket. This was the only tool he had for today's exam, and he didn't even bring a schoolbag.
"She is Zhou Xiang!"
"She's so young, could she be a third grader?"
"Nonsense, this is a competition for seniors, at least those in the fourth grade or above."
"The fourth graders are also at the bottom. Usually, the ones selected are mostly fifth graders. Now that we have a sixth grade, it should be mostly fifth and sixth graders."
"I heard she got full marks in all four subjects, so she should be able to win, right?"
The exam bell rang, and the invigilator came in and handed out the test papers.
Zhou Xiang spent fifty minutes to finish answering the questions. He used the remaining forty minutes to copy the test paper and answers on a piece of scratch paper, and waited for the exam to be over so that he could hand in his paper and leave the exam room with everyone else.
