After breakfast the next morning, Su Ting watched He Yan go out as usual.

Although she decided to ask Duan Xiaoying to help him get his performance quota back, she didn't plan to tell He Yan about it before things were confirmed, nor did she plan to disrupt her life because of it.

So after washing the dishes, Su Ting did not rush to school, but took the money and tickets and went out to buy vegetables.

It was almost eight o'clock when she came back from buying groceries. She first marinated the sea fish because she couldn't delay it, otherwise the fish would go bad. She then soaked the clams she had bought in clean water to spit out the mud and sand.

After finishing these things, Su Ting washed her hands with soap, then went back to apply clam oil and spread it evenly before going out.

But she did not go directly to school. Instead, she went to see Mr. Wang, the music teacher.

In fact, Teacher Wang not only teaches music, but also calligraphy. She also teaches science and morality classes for senior grades. In other words, she teaches those unimportant elective classes that no one else has time to teach.

Because he teaches many classes and a wide variety of subjects, Teacher Wang's whereabouts are more erratic than regular teachers.

So Su Ting went directly to Teacher Wang's house.

She was lucky because Teacher Wang didn't have classes for the first two periods today and was cleaning at home.

When Teacher Wang heard the voice and saw Su Ting, she was surprised. Although they knew each other, they were not close enough to visit each other.

Despite this, Teacher Wang still politely welcomed the visitor into his home, poured him a glass of water, and asked, "What brings you here today?"

"It's May now, so the wind should be blowing from the southeast." Su Ting said seriously.

Teacher Wang smiled and said, "Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"It's like this. Wasn't our Xiaoyan selected for the chorus program? He was very excited during this period, often humming songs and singing loudly at home. But yesterday his class teacher told him that there were other people to replace him and he didn't need to participate in the program. I wanted to ask if he didn't perform well during the rehearsal?"

Teacher Wang frowned when he heard this: "Didn't Teacher Duan arrange for a replacement because He Yan didn't want to perform on stage?"

"When did Xiaoyan stop wanting to perform?" Su Ting was surprised, and nodded after a moment, "Yes, when Teacher Duan first asked him to sing in the chorus, he was really reluctant in his heart, but soon after the rehearsal began, he liked this program and really wanted to perform on stage, so he worked very hard during the rehearsal process."

At this point, Su Ting sighed heavily: "Teacher Wang, you don't know, Xiao Yan was very sad after he learned from Teacher Duan that he was replaced yesterday. His eyes were swollen from crying. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have thought of coming to you to ask about his rehearsal. I thought if he really didn't have the talent to sing, it would be fine if he was replaced. I would persuade him well when I go back."

The more he listened, the more confused Teacher Wang became: "Are you sure that He Yan really wants to perform on stage? Wasn't it your parents who made the decision for him?"

"Of course!" Su Ting said confidently, "In this regard, Lao He and I are both very open-minded. It's up to him whether he wants to go on stage or not. If you don't believe me, I can swear."

Seeing Su Ting raise her hand to swear, Teacher Wang quickly said: "I believe you, but what you said is different from what Teacher Duan said."

"Is it because Xiaoyan's performance was not good?" Su Ting asked.

Teacher Wang smiled and said, "Of course not. In fact, Xiaoyan is the best singer among all the children participating in the chorus program, and he is also good-looking. If this hadn't happened, I would have thought of talking to Teacher Duan and promoting him to be the lead singer, but the result was..."

Thinking that Li Xiaoming, who replaced He Yan, was tone-deaf and would definitely drag down the show if he went on stage, Teacher Wang said, "There may be some misunderstanding. Let's put it this way. After arriving at school today, I will have a good talk with Teacher Duan about this matter and see if we can let He Yan come back to continue rehearsals."

Su Ting thought that the one who was causing trouble was Duan Xiaoying himself, so there could be no misunderstanding.

Teacher Wang couldn't be asked to speak on this matter. Although she was in charge of the students' rehearsals, she was just a music teacher. If Duan Xiaoying insisted on changing someone, she might not be able to convince him.

Moreover, her goal was not only to get He Yan to go back and continue rehearsing, but also to transfer He Yan to another class. If Teacher Wang really persuaded Duan Xiaoying, it would be difficult for her to handle the following matters.

She still had to go talk to Duan Xiaoying herself.

After thinking about it, Su Ting said, "I feel relieved with your words, but I want to ask Teacher Duan about the specifics myself. You know, some things are more appropriate for us as parents to say, but when the time comes, I may have to trouble you to say a few good words for He Yan."

Although Su Ting said this with a smile on her face and a gentle tone, Teacher Wang had a bad feeling that she would argue with Duan Xiaoying.

This made Teacher Wang a little hesitant, after all, Duan Xiaoying was her colleague.

"You may have heard that Xiao Yan used to live with his grandparents in their hometown until Dongchuan and I got married and brought him to Pingchuan Island. Although he was not happy when Teacher Duan asked him to perform at the beginning, he was just awkward and wanted to be stroked. After returning home, he was so proud that his tail was raised and he insisted that Dongchuan and I go to watch his performance."

Su Ting saw through her emotions and played the emotional card, saying, "Children's Day is Saturday. Dongchuan was supposed to go to the camp, but he has been away for so many years and has disappointed Xiaoyan too many times. He didn't want to disappoint Xiaoyan again this time, so he changed shifts and agreed to watch Xiaoyan's performance. As a result, this incident happened."

Teacher Wang had been with the army for only a few years with her children. Hearing Su Ting's words, she couldn't help but think of her own children. Before coming to Pingchuan Island, they had been disappointed many times because their father had broken his promises.

This is also the main reason why she decided to give up her job in her hometown and join the army. The child needs his father.

Seeing that Teacher Wang's attitude had softened, Su Ting continued, "I'm not asking you to lie, I just hope that when I need your help, you can tell the truth."

In fact, she didn't necessarily need Teacher Wang to testify, but Duan Xiaoying would definitely not easily admit that she targeted He Yan, and in the end she might even put the blame on He Yan.

As long as Teacher Wang is willing to testify, she will have someone to rely on, and if the matter is brought to the attention of the principal, she will not be too passive.

This is also the reason why she came to see Teacher Wang first.

Teacher Wang thought for a long time, nodded and said, "If necessary, I will tell you the truth."

"Thank you."

…

After leaving Teacher Wang's house, Su Ting went directly to the military primary school.

The school had just finished the second class, and the playground and outside the classroom were full of children running and playing.

Su Ting walked past the children and found the teacher's office. It was quite lively inside. Some students were called over to pick up their homework, some were busy preparing lessons during break time, and some were gathered together chatting.

However, as soon as Su Ting appeared at the door of the office, the teacher sitting at the desk near the door noticed her and asked in surprise: "Comrade Su, why are you here?"

Su Ting didn't look gloomy, but smiled and said, "I have something to ask Teacher Duan."

"For your family's He Yan?"

“Isn’t it all for the children?”

Of course, if the parents came to the school to see the teacher, what else could it be if not for their children? However, the teacher sitting at the door didn't think much about what it was about, and turned around and shouted inside: "Teacher Duan, the parents of the children in your class are here."

There were people all around Duan Xiaoying's desk, so she didn't notice Su Ting at first. It was not until she heard someone shouting for the teacher standing in front of the desk to move aside that she looked up at the door.

Upon seeing this, Duan Xiaoying's heart skipped a beat.

Did Su Ting really come to see her?

Duan Xiaoying stood up from behind his desk and asked, "Comrade Su, why are you here?"

"I want to talk to you about our Xiaoyan." Su Ting said directly.

Although Su Ting was very polite, Duan Xiaoying felt that she had bad intentions and felt very troubled - she didn't expect Su Ting to really stand up for her stepson.

She just didn't understand. Su Ting was usually not very nice to He Yan, so why was she always there at times like this?

While thinking about it, Duan Xiaoying noticed the other teachers' looks. She walked up to Su Ting, forced a smile and said, "There are too many people in the office. Shall we go out and talk?"

But Su Ting thought it was easier to talk with more people, so she smiled and said, "No need. I just wanted to ask you about Xiao Yan being kicked out of the chorus program. It's not a secret, so I'm not afraid of others hearing it."

Duan Xiaoying's smile faded. "Look at what you said, Comrade Su. Asking He Yan to withdraw from the chorus program is a decision made in accordance with his personal wishes. Kick him out? Your wording is not quite appropriate."

"After returning home yesterday, Xiaoyan cried so much that his eyes were swollen. You told me that he quit the show on his own initiative?" Su Ting's face turned cold. "I don't know if you said that, Teacher Duan, because you think Xiaoyan has no mouth, or because we, as his parents, have no eyes."

Sensing the tension between the two, a teacher stepped in to smooth things over and asked, "Is there some misunderstanding here?"

"Yes, you two should sit down and talk it out. Don't ruin the relationship."

While she was trying to persuade him, someone brought a stool to Su Ting. Su Ting sat down and said with a smile, "Actually, I thought so too, so I came to see Teacher Duan. I thought that if there was any misunderstanding, it would be best to clarify it as soon as possible so that Xiaoyan can go back to rehearse earlier, so as not to affect his performance next week."

Su Ting had a smile on her face, but no one dared to respond to her words because she had clearly pointed out her purpose, which was to get He Yan to return to the chorus program.

Although in their opinion, Su Ting's request was not excessive and this matter was not difficult to handle, the chorus was originally a program where one more or one less person would not have much impact, not to mention that He Yan himself was a performer in the program.

But they were not He Yan's class teachers after all, and could not make decisions for Duan Xiaoying, so they could only choose to remain silent and wait for Duan Xiaoying's response.

Duan Xiaoying was very upset.

In fact, she was not so determined to kick He Yan out of the show. If Su Ting had talked to her properly, she could have taken back her decision. Who knew that Su Ting would not accept the toast and force her to bow her head in front of so many people with such a tough attitude, making it impossible for her to get off the stage.

In this case, if she gave in, wouldn't it prove that she was afraid of Su Ting?

Thinking of this, Duan Xiaoying said, "I don't know how He Yan told you, but I did replace him for his sake. When the chorus program was finalized and the performers were confirmed, I asked for the opinions of every child participating in the program. At that time, He Yan was reluctant to go on stage. I asked him to try first, and he reluctantly agreed."

"Yes, you let him try when he didn't want to perform on stage. When he liked the show and changed his mind and wanted to perform on stage, and worked hard for almost half a month, you went and told him to respect his original opinion and not let him participate in the show," Su Ting asked coldly, "Teacher Duan, do you think this is reasonable?"

The other teachers in the office started talking in low voices. Although they tried to lower their voices, the office was small. Duan Xiaoying caught a lot of people agreeing with Su Ting, and her face turned pale and blue.

Chen Lin couldn't bear to watch this and said, "He Yan didn't say anything, so how would Xiaoying know if he changed his mind?"

"Did Xiaoyan really not say anything?" Su Ting looked at Duan Xiaoying and asked.

In fact, He Yan said it, but Duan Xiaoying interrupted him directly. She didn't want to listen at all.

Duan Xiaoying opened her mouth to answer, but Su Ting didn't give her a chance to speak. She asked, "For example, even if Xiaoyan didn't say how hard he worked during the rehearsal, didn't you see it, Teacher Duan? Just because he didn't want to participate in the program at first, no matter how much he liked it and how hard he worked, when he was kicked out of the program with a casual remark of 'respecting his previous wishes', should he just think it was his fault?"

Duan Xiaoying was speechless after being asked this question.

Su Ting's words were too inflammatory. When she made the decision yesterday, she felt she had sufficient reasons and was not afraid of Su Ting causing trouble.

But at this moment, after listening to Su Ting's series of questions, Duan Xiaoying couldn't think of any explanation.

Too pale.

Chen Lin was also convinced by Su Ting, but she didn't like Su Ting's aggressiveness. In addition, her friend remained silent for a long time, so she couldn't help but say, "Yes, maybe Xiaoying didn't consider it carefully enough when making the decision, but she did it for He Yan's sake. If he really doesn't want to quit the show, why not let him come back and continue rehearsing? Why do you have to say such harsh words?"

"You think my words are harsh because your daughter has not encountered such a thing. We were still discussing how to cheer him up on the day of the party, but in the afternoon, he was told that he didn't need to come to rehearsal anymore." Su Ting looked around the office, "If it were you, seeing your child crying and his eyes were red and swollen, would you feel good?"

Of course it's uncomfortable, but you are not the biological mother. Is it necessary to pretend to love your child so much?

Chen Lin murmured in her heart but didn't dare to say it out loud. She just turned her head to look at Duan Xiaoying.

Duan Xiaoying clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, his heart filled with regret.

In fact, she had known about Su Ting's difficulty for a long time, but people are always like this. They cannot understand the embarrassment of being in a situation unless it happens to them.

So she looked at the list of people for the chorus program, and after much thought, she decided to let He Yan be the one to be eliminated.

The reasons are, firstly, that he felt that his recent misfortunes were all related to Su Ting and He Yan, so it was a small revenge; secondly, he felt lucky, thinking that Su Ting would not stand up for He Yan, and that he had thought of a reasonable explanation and would not become the second Yu Hongzhi.

But she was wrong. Not only did Su Ting stand up for He Yan, but her explanation was also vulnerable in her highly inflammatory words.

Now there is only one way in front of her, which is for He Yan to return to the chorus program.

But I'm not willing to give up.

Once she does that, what does what she has done in the past two days matter?

Besides, there were so many teachers in the office. They saw everything. How could they laugh at her when they turned their backs?

Duan Xiaoying took a deep breath and said, "I admit that I had selfish motives in asking He Yan to withdraw from the chorus program, but I also considered the effect of the program. After all, there are many leaders coming to the party, and the children who perform on stage can't sing too badly. Comrade Su, don't you agree?"

"Teacher Duan said that our Xiaoyan doesn't sing well?"

"That's not what I meant," Duan Xiaoying said politely, "but He Yan's singing level is indeed different from that of other children participating in the performance."

Su Ting smiled: "What difference? The difference of singing better than others?"

"Maybe in your eyes, He Yan sings very well, but in fact..." Duan Xiaoying spread her hands and did not finish her words, but she felt that everyone must understand what she meant.

Chen Lin chimed in, "That's right. Xiaoying is the class teacher and must be responsible for the show's results. Comrade Su, you are He Yan's mother and we understand that you think he is good in every way. But they have to perform on stage, and there will be so many people watching. It would be unacceptable if he sings badly."

After hearing Chen Lin's ridicule, Su Ting showed no anger on her face, and only asked: "Teacher Duan, have you ever heard them sing?"

"Of course I've heard of it." Duan Xiaoying said with his chest puffed out.

"You think Xiaoyan's singing is not good?"

"I just said that there is a gap between him and other students."

Su Ting laughed: "Teacher Duan, do you know? Before I came here, I went to Teacher Wang's house and asked him if Xiaoyan was replaced because he sang too badly. Teacher Wang told me very confidently that it was not the case, he sang very well. If it hadn't happened, she would have let He Yan be the lead singer. Now you tell me, do you think Xiaoyan sings worse than other students?"

Duan Xiaoying's expression froze. She didn't expect Su Ting to go find Teacher Wang.

Chen Lin curled her lips and said, "You said that, who knows if Teacher Wang really said that."

"Do you want to ask Teacher Wang to come forward to testify?" Su Ting asked with a smile.

Seeing that she was confident, Chen Lin's heart began to beat fast. She turned to look at Duan Xiaoying, wanting to know what she was thinking, but she saw that her face was pale and her expression was full of anxiety.

After knowing each other for two years, Chen Lin could naturally tell what Duan Xiaoying's reaction meant, and her heart sank.

In fact, she knew that she should remain silent, but the smile on Su Ting's face was too unsightly, and silence meant bowing her head, and she didn't want to bow her head to Su Ting.

After hesitating, Chen Lin said, "Who knows what you said to Teacher Wang that made her agree to testify for you?" She implied that Teacher Wang agreed to help bear false witness.

There is a teacher frowning in the office. After all, we are all colleagues. This guess is too much.

But Chen Lin didn't say it directly, and Teacher Wang was not there, so they didn't dare to point it out directly and just watched in silence.

Su Ting was not too angry and said, "If you don't believe what Teacher Wang said, you can ask He Yan and Teacher Duan to call their replacements to compete and see who sings better. If you still think it's not good enough, you can ask the people who participated in the chorus program to compete together. Teacher Duan, what do you think of my suggestion?"

Duan Xiaoying gritted his teeth and said nothing.

She didn't dare.

She didn't dare ask Teacher Wang to testify, nor did she dare compare He Yan with others, because she knew very well that He Yan sang very well, and she also heard Teacher Wang say that he wanted to promote him to be the lead singer.

After waiting for Duan Xiaoying to speak for a long time, Su Ting stood up and said, "Teacher Duan, please set a time, preferably after class, and call all the teachers in the office. Oh, by the way, is Principal Jiang here? I'll go talk to her about the situation and see if I can ask her to help as a witness, so..."

Seeing that Su Ting really wanted to find the principal, Duan Xiaoying quickly interrupted and said, "I promised to let He Yan return to the chorus program!"

Su Ting stopped and turned to look at Duan Xiaoying: "Teacher Duan admits that He Yan can sing well?"

"I..." Duan Xiaoying opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.

She just said that He Yan didn't sing well, and now she changed her words. What will others think of her?

"Ding-a-ling..."

The moment the bell rang, Duan Xiaoying's eyes lit up: "It's time for class."

The teachers in the office all heard the bell and Duan Xiaoying's reminder, but only a few took action. It was not enough for them to just watch the show.

Chen Lin couldn't bear to see her friend in trouble, so she said, "Okay, okay, let's go to class quickly. Otherwise, if Principal Jiang sees that none of us are in class, he will definitely say that we are making trouble."

These words touched everyone's heart. Principal Jiang has a serious personality and takes her work very seriously. If she knew that they had missed classes because of watching a play... everyone shuddered and finally took action.

Duan Xiaoying took the opportunity to say: "Comrade Su, I still have to go to class later, you see..."

Su Ting nodded happily: "Okay, you go to class, I'll go talk to Principal Jiang about this."

Duan Xiaoying's voice suddenly stopped, and he stood there looking at her straight. Su Ting was not afraid either, and looked back calmly.

The teachers who were packing up their lesson plans in the classroom held their breath and deliberately slowed down their movements, wanting to see the results before going back to the classroom.

But before Duan Xiaoying could say anything else, Principal Jiang appeared outside the window. Seeing that the office was full of people, she walked to the door and asked sullenly, "The bell has rung for so long, why are you still standing here?"

After asking, Principal Jiang saw Su Ting standing in the middle of the class and asked in surprise, "Comrade Su, why are you here?"

"I……"

Su Ting had just opened her mouth when she heard Duan Xiaoying rushing to say, "I've thought about it. Since Teacher Wang thinks He Yan sings well, let He Yan lead the singing at the party. Comrade Su, are you relieved now?"

Duan Xiaoying felt that she had taken a step back. If Su Ting was understanding, she should also take a step back and stop being so aggressive.

Obviously, Su Ting was not very considerate. She had no intention of brushing off the matter. She looked at Duan Xiaoying and asked, "It's good that Teacher Duan agreed to let Xiaoyan lead the singing, but I want you to promise that you will not kick Xiaoyan out of the show because you personally think that he doesn't sing well, right?"

Noticing the principal's scrutinizing gaze, Duan Xiaoying gritted her teeth and replied, "Of course."

"That's good." Su Ting said with satisfaction.

Duan Xiaoying heaved a sigh of relief. Although she could be said to have suffered a terrible defeat today, and this incident might affect her reputation if it got out, at least she didn't cause trouble in front of the principal...

But before she could finish her words, she heard Su Ting say, "Principal Jiang, I would like to talk to you about my child's transfer to another class. When are you free?"

"Su Ting!"

Duan Xiaoying raised her head abruptly: "Don't go too far!"

"If Teacher Duan didn't target a child out of selfish motives, I wouldn't want to transfer my child to another class." Su Ting said calmly.

Duan Xiaoying was so angry that he vomited blood and flatly denied, "When did I ever target He Yan?"

Su Ting did not answer, but turned to look at Principal Jiang, waiting for her response.

Duan Xiaoying followed her gaze and noticed the leader standing at the door, and quickly explained, "Principal, I don't have any!"

But Principal Jiang didn't listen to her and just said to Su Ting: "Come with me to the office. If you have classes, please go to class quickly and don't delay the students."

The teachers all said "yes" in unison. Duan Xiaoying was about to say something, but was interrupted by Principal Jiang, who said, "You have to go to class too. We can talk about it later if you have anything else."

After saying that, Principal Jiang turned around and left the teacher's office. Su Ting hurriedly followed him, and her figure quickly disappeared outside the window.

As soon as they left, Duan Xiaoying's inner reluctance was revealed on his face, and within that reluctance, there was also a hint of panic.

Chen Lin saw this, patted Duan Xiaoying's shoulder gently, and comforted her: "Principal Jiang will definitely not just listen to her one-sided words, don't worry too much."

Duan Xiaoying forced a smile.

Su Ting can turn white into black and dead into alive. Will Principal Jiang really not be moved by her words?

And what Su Ting said was right, she did kick He Yan out of the show out of selfish motives. Duan Xiaoying sat on the stool, deep in worry.

…

The principal's office is one row behind the teachers' offices.

This row is quite special. It was originally built as dormitories and warehouses, so the rooms are generally only one-fourth the size of the front row. For example, Principal Jiang's office only has a filing cabinet, a desk, a coffee table, and a few stools.

After Principal Jiang asked Su Ting to sit down, he picked up an empty cup from the tea table and asked, "Can I have boiled water?"

Su Ting waved her hands quickly: "I'm not thirsty, please don't bother."

Principal Jiang smiled, but still poured water for Su Ting and filled his own cup before sitting behind the desk and asking, "You just said that Teacher Duan targeted your child out of selfish motives?"

Su Ting nodded and said, "That's what I think."

"Can you tell me why you think that?"

"It's like this..." Su Ting tried her best to use concise words to explain the situation, but she did not forget to portray He Yan's pitiful image.

While listening, Principal Jiang gradually leaned back in his chair until Su Ting stopped talking, "I understand your thoughts, but isn't it too arbitrary to assume that Teacher Duan can target He Yan just because she made a wrong decision this time?"

"Principal Jiang, I'm not telling you this to complain and ask you to punish Teacher Duan. My request is to transfer He Yan to another class. Yes, I may have overthought it. Teacher Duan may not have targeted He Yan, but I am a mother. Please forgive me. I can't hand my child over to someone I don't trust."

After showing weakness, Su Ting changed the subject: "Also, do you know what she originally told He Yan and why she wanted him to quit the show?"

Didn't you just say that?

Principal Jiang was puzzled, but she still repeated the answer she had given before: "Because He Yan didn't want to be on the show at first?"

"Yes, she said that because He Yan was unwilling, she would try every means to find someone to replace him. She also told He Yan that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and he did not seize the opportunity." Su Ting chuckled, "She wanted to kick He Yan out because of her own selfishness, but she put all the mistakes on a child. When Dong Chuan asked him yesterday, he still regretted it and said that he should not have been unwilling to go on stage at the beginning. Principal Jiang, do you understand what this means?"

If it were fifty years later, Su Ting would directly say that Duan Xiaoying was PUAing He Yan, but now she couldn't think of the right words and could only conclude: "I really can't hand my child over to a teacher who is full of malice towards her. Principal Jiang, please understand me."

After hearing this, Principal Jiang could no longer say no. He sighed and said, "I will tell Teacher Huang from Class 1 about this and ask her to arrange a seat for He Yan. As for Teacher Duan... I will also have a good talk with her. If it is confirmed that she is targeting He Yan, I will give you an explanation."

"good."

Su Ting agreed with a smile, but she did not expect that Duan Xiaoying would be dealt with.

The most serious mistake Duan Xiaoying made this time was the charge of verbal PUA, but PUA is difficult to convict even fifty years later, not to mention that people today have no idea about it.

Moreover, she had no recording and no chat records, so there was no actual evidence to prove that Duan Xiaoying had a problem. She was lucky enough that she could use her eloquence to arouse Principal Jiang's sympathy and get him to agree to let He Yan transfer to another class. She felt that it was basically impossible for Principal Jiang to punish Duan Xiaoying.

But it was good to be able to change classes. She knew Teacher Huang in Class 1, who had a very easy-going personality. He Yan would study under her, so at least she wouldn't have to worry about being bullied in the future.

Of course, Su Ting did not forget the most important thing: "Xiao Yan has changed classes, so what about him participating in the chorus program?"

"No change."

"Teacher Duan just said that he wanted to be the lead singer." Facing Principal Jiang's intimidating gaze, Su Ting explained, "Yesterday at noon, Xiaoyan told me that Teacher Wang praised his singing. This was not the case. Teacher Wang also wanted him to be the lead singer."

Principal Jiang rubbed his forehead and said, "The singing lead will not change. Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied!" Su Ting nodded vigorously. "I feel relieved when you say that. Then...if there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

"Hurry back."

Principal Jiang waved her hand to chase them away. She really didn't expect that such a cold and serious man like He Dongchuan would marry such a wife who would push their luck further.

But from another perspective, these two people complement each other. One is cold as ice, and the other is passionate as fire. If they balance each other out, maybe they can get by.

If Su Ting knew what Principal Jiang was thinking, she would definitely want to persuade her to see an ophthalmologist. How could He Dongchuan be so cold?

But from another perspective, this is true. The one who is passionate is He Dongchuan (in bed), and the one who is as cold as ice is her (in the same bed).

…

There is no wall that is impenetrable. In less than a day, the confrontation between Su Ting and Duan Xiaoying was spread out.

There was a lot of discussion in the family academy about this. Some said Su Ting was making a big deal out of nothing, while others said Duan Xiaoying was not a good teacher. But soon, the matter was settled.

Duan Xiaoying was removed from her position as class teacher.

In fact, everyone thinks that being a class teacher is not very good. The salary is only three yuan more than that of an ordinary teacher, but the things to worry about are several times more.

Not all teachers in the military primary schools want to be class teachers.

But a person who was doing well as a class teacher was suddenly removed from his position. The reason behind this is very intriguing.

Although Duan Xiaoying said to others that there were a lot of things to do at home and she wanted to spend more time with her family, the Han family didn't just have three children recently. She didn't say she couldn't handle it when the children were young in the past two years, but now that the children are older, she can't spare the time. Who would believe this!

What's more, Su Ting went to the military primary school to speak out, and then she was dismissed. No matter how you look at it, there is a problem.

There was a lot of discussion in the family compound, and everyone thought she must have made a mistake.

So the question is, as a teacher, what mistakes could she make?

In the past, no one would have thought of any mistakes she could have made. Even if she treated good students and poor students differently, the children were simple and her mistakes were not obvious. No one had ever thought of this before, so her reputation has always been very good.

But now, with the He Yan incident, everyone started to think divergently.

Since she targeted He Yan regarding the performance on stage, would she target other students regarding other matters?

Is this the actual reason why she was dismissed?

After this idea was brought up, other military wives were fine, but those whose children were studying under Duan Xiaoying could not sit still. Among these military wives, the parents who had approached Duan Xiaoying before and wanted their children to be on the show had the biggest reaction.

Yes, He Yan was selected for the show and has trained well. Duan Xiaoying can kick people just for personal gain. What about my son/daughter? Is it because Duan Xiaoying targeted them that they were not selected?

In fact, they could understand He Yan's case, but how did Li Xiaoming, who was not selected at the beginning, suddenly make the list of performers? Was there something fishy about this?

They all went to find Duan Xiaoying. Oh no, the new head teacher wanted to speak up. This matter is now under her jurisdiction.

The new head teacher was overwhelmed and was also annoyed by the mess left by Duan Xiaoying. Although they were all colleagues and had a good relationship in the past, who would have the patience to clean up other people's messes all day long!

So after parents came to her one after another, she took advantage of the Sunday off to organize a singing competition for the whole class and invited all parents to watch.

Not only the wives of soldiers in the family compound, but also those from nearby brigades whose children attend the military primary school can come to visit.

So on Sunday, the classroom of Class 2, Grade 1 was completely blocked.

Because there were so many people, many of the children participating in the competition were so scared that they couldn't sing a word after going on stage. Some of them who could sing well before, sang out of tune after going on stage, causing everyone to laugh.

Most of the children who had been selected for the choir program performed well. After all, they had already prepared for the stage performance and were not intimidated by seeing so many people, so they performed normally.

There were also those who performed for a very long time, such as He Yan. He loved to be the focus of the crowd. His expression, voice and song completion were impeccable after he went on stage.

Of course there were also those who performed particularly badly, a typical example being Li Xiaoming. He was forced to take part in the chorus program because of a lack of motivation on his part, as he was forced by his own mother. He himself had no talent in it and was even a little tone-deaf. His performance on the stage was horrible.

In short, after the competition, except for Li Xiaoming, everyone else secured their spot to perform at the party.

Some parents were dissatisfied, thinking that their children had never practiced singing, and they had rehearsed for so long, so it was normal for them to perform better than their children. If their children could have been selected for the show earlier, maybe their children would have performed well today.

The new head teacher wanted to roll his eyes after hearing this, but he held back the words and patiently praised the other child again. He also tactfully said that the party would start next week and changing people now would definitely affect the show, and it would be difficult to explain to the leaders when they saw it.

Then we said that if the school was not planning to hold just this one party, and if the effect was good and the leaders were satisfied, they would definitely hold it again next year, and the children would have the opportunity to go on stage in the future, and so on, only then could we appease the parents.

In the end, the competition was a complete success and the school and parents were quite satisfied with the results.

If there was anyone who was dissatisfied, it would be Xu Fen. After she had squeezed Li Xiaoming into the chorus program, she went back home and started bragging about how her son was handsome and a good singer, and how the class teacher had high hopes for him.

After this competition, all her boasting was exposed.

As for Li Xiaoming's appearance, I wouldn't say he's ugly, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that he has nothing to do with being handsome. As for singing, is he the best in the class?

After this competition, Li Xiaoming's previous use of backdoors to get on the show was like a hammer to the stone.

Because of this, Xu Fen has not dared to go out during this period.

Another person who was afraid to go out was Duan Xiaoying. Li Xiaoming was believed to have entered the show through the backdoor, and as she was the head teacher of Class 2, Grade 1 at the time, she naturally could not escape suspicion.

To be precise, Duan Xiaoying had been accused by Shi Zhui of being unfair to students, otherwise why would someone as tone-deaf as Li Xiaoming take the stage in place of He Yan?

After the competition, the parents of Class 2, Grade 1, became extremely angry with Duan Xiaoying. Parents of other students in classes where Duan Xiaoying was the Chinese teacher also began to doubt her.

When Duan Xiaoying was a class teacher, she treated the students differently.
