Teacher Ye frowned immediately upon hearing this: "Let Ming Xiaoxiao tutor you? What right does Ming Xiaoxiao have to do that?"
Seeing the vice principal's confusion, she explained, "Ming Xiaoxiao is the student sponsored by the Spring Bud Project."
"Although Ming Xiaoxiao's grades are indeed good and Xie Li's foundation is indeed a bit weak, in my judgment, Xie Li's grades are definitely no lower than Ming Xiaoxiao's."
She admires talent, so she always tries to understand Xie Li's thought processes and problem-solving methods. In return, Xie Li often takes the quizzes or exercises she assigns more seriously.
Sometimes, even Professor Ye would applaud in admiration when he saw those solutions and thought processes, which is why he has the confidence to say such things.
The vice principal didn't care about that. He just felt that it was too unreliable for Wenling, as a teacher, to argue with a student.
"Wenling is just too arrogant." The vice principal had a headache. Could he just say things like "I won't let students attend his classes" so casually?
As an adult, he should consider issues from a longer-term and more comprehensive perspective.
While Xie Li's grades certainly don't require Ming Xiaoxiao's tutoring, they definitely need Wenling's.
It is no exaggeration to say that Wenling is currently the most qualified physics teacher in the grade.
If Xie Li confronts him head-on, she will only suffer the consequences in the end.
"Xie Li, go apologize to Teacher Wen. You should at least give him a way out, right?" The vice principal said earnestly. "You students' most urgent task is to study and prepare for the college entrance examination. As long as you can learn knowledge that will benefit your future, just humble yourself, okay?"
Xie Li nodded, clearly agreeing with the vice principal's point.
"But I don't want to apologize."
The vice principal hadn't even caught his breath when he heard this, and almost choked. "What did you say?"
Xie Li remained calm: "I didn't do anything wrong, so I don't want to apologize."
The vice principal and Teacher Ye exchanged glances, and finally Teacher Ye spoke first, "I don't think Xie Li needs to apologize either."
She has a gentle personality, and when it comes to matters such as professional title evaluation and salary increases, she is always willing to give way to Wenling.
But that doesn't mean she's really been smoothed out, or that she can even turn right and wrong upside down.
The vice principal's headache worsened. Was it now a matter of Xie Li not having to apologize just because he hadn't done anything wrong? Now, Wenling was refusing to teach Xie Li, which was dragging down the international class as well!
Moreover, Xie Li wasn't entirely without fault.
The Ding family is well-connected in the education sector, and their children are very respectful of teachers; it's simply impossible for them to talk back to a teacher.
Is it really such a big deal to apologize to the teacher?
Just then, my phone buzzed, and a voice message came from Wenling.
“Principal Wei, I’ve thought it over. I can teach the regular classes, but I’m afraid I can’t help with the international classes. Please help me make some adjustments.”
Upon hearing this, the vice principal's face darkened: "Xie Li must apologize! There's no room for negotiation on this matter. Teacher Ye, you should try to reason with her again. The child may be immature, but are you immature too? You must give me an explanation for this today!"
The vice principal stormed off in a huff.
He wasn't unaware that children of this age have strong self-esteem, but he still needed to consider the context.
If Wenling really volunteered to teach a regular class, the international class would become a joke. What would other children and parents think?
Having offended the children in the international class and their parents, Xie Li will likely face many hardships in the future.
No, he still needs to tell Ding Huizhu about this; he can't let the child continue to be so stubborn.
Teacher Ye remained calm and patted Xie Li on the shoulder, "It's alright, you can go back to class now."
