She dawdled for about ten minutes, and just when everyone was starting to get impatient, Ke Meiyu finally arrived with her apology letter.
"Why are you so late? Did the teacher have to urge you three or four times?"
Teacher Zhao frowned and said unhappily.
The other teachers' gossipy nature was piqued.
As teachers, they would naturally pay attention to Ke Meiyu, who was ranked first in the Foreign Languages Department.
As early as when the students were assigned to the college, they had already seen Ke Meiyu's information and also noticed her stunningly beautiful appearance from the photos on the forms.
They just didn't expect that on the second day of the official start of classes, the child would be dragged to the office by Team Leader Zhao.
Ke Meiyu chuckled and said, "Teacher Zhao, this is my first time in the office building and I don't know the way very well, so I'm late. I'm sorry."
"Now that we're in the office, put away your frivolous attitude. This is a serious place! Besides, a mistake is a mistake; why make so many excuses?"
This time, Zhao Shitai unleashed her fury without any restraint, just like an ordinary teacher scolding a poor student, showing no mercy whatsoever.
The other teachers silently pretended to pack their things, but their feet were frozen in place, as if coated with superglue, and they listened intently.
Ke Meiyu stopped smiling, lowered her eyes, and handed over the letter of apology with both hands.
Master Zhao didn't even glance at it before slamming several pages of the self-criticism on the table. "This self-criticism is for yourself. You know better than I how much sincerity and remorse you put into it."
"Come on, tell me, and tell the teachers here, what exactly did you do wrong? Why do you have to write a self-criticism when others don't?"
Ke Meiyu shook her head in confusion: "Teacher Zhao, to be honest, I don't know what upset you. You said I had to move into the dormitory and not stay out overnight, so I obediently went through the check-in procedures. Because there were no rooms available, I was assigned to room 314 in building 13."
Master Zhao looked very unwell.
If it were an ordinary student, they would definitely seriously examine their mistakes and then sincerely apologize.
She thought Ke Meiyu was arrogant, dismissive of any explanations, and even haughty in refusing to admit she was wrong. After all, Ke Meiyu hadn't really done anything wrong.
However, in front of the teachers, Ke Meiyu's attitude is disrespectful, disobedient, and shows a very bad temper, which is a matter of personal character!
No matter how well Ke Meiyu studies, she will not receive high marks in the eyes of the teachers.
But Zhao Shitai never expected that Ke Meiyu was a troublemaker who would act unpredictably and start revealing her own secrets.
She desperately wanted to rebuke Ke Meiyu, but the other woman spoke so quickly that she couldn't get a word in edgewise. Unbeknownst to her, she was being mildly hypnotized, to the point that her mouth was no longer under her brain's control.
"Teacher Zhao, I don't like hypocrisy. I say what I mean when I introduce myself. Actually, whether I'm willing to help others depends on my mood. You guys, put your hands on your hearts, do you really like helping others every time?"
Is it vanity, or genuine selfless dedication like a saint? Or is it merely a way to satisfy oneself after helping others?
"Teacher Zhao, I finished my homework early yesterday and also did some review and preview. Why did I waste time staying in the classroom instead of going back to the dormitory to rest early and be well-rested for the next day's studies and life?"
"I have a strong sense of time. I know when to do things. In the morning, I arrived at the classroom a few minutes earlier than the time required by the teacher and completed the memorization task very well."
"I consider myself to be quite well-behaved, so why does Teacher Zhao keep trying to find fault with me? It's one thing to make things difficult for me, but to make me sign up for the freshman welcome party solo performance and bear the pressure of losing five credits if I don't get a grade above average."
"Why make things difficult for the other students and drag them down with me? They don't have much of a foreign language foundation, and before you even start your lesson, they have to memorize a short passage of over 500 words in the 20 minutes of morning reading time..."
"Moreover, everything is linked to class grades, and I've inquired about it; other classes don't have such intense studying..."
"Everyone says you always like to make things difficult for pretty female students, especially since your niece is Yu Mengni. She has her eye on my man, so I can understand why you're picking on me like this."
“Under intense pressure, one’s powerful potential can be unleashed. I will bear it silently. I hope you will be more lenient with the other students. Otherwise, I fear the pressure will be too great for them, and something unexpected might happen, which would make me uneasy for the rest of my life…”
As she launched into a detailed and aggrieved interrogation, the crowd glanced at Master Zhao with shock and disdain. Was this something a teacher should do?
At the same time, they also realized that this was not the first time such a thing had happened.
Because some things had indeed happened in Ms. Zhao's class before, but they naturally sided with her, believing that those students were good at studying but had poor character...
After all, students' misconduct is most memorable when they repeatedly apologize in public, leave early or arrive late, or deliberately tarnish the reputation of the group.
Why didn't this happen in other classes?
They had discussed this before, but they thought it was because Teacher Zhao, as the group leader, had strict requirements for the students, which caused the students' extreme backlash.
If what Ke Meiyu said is true, then aren't they just tools for Teacher Zhao to settle personal scores?
The teachers smiled awkwardly and said, "Teacher Zhao, don't work too hard. The students' character has already been formed, and they are not easy to discipline. You can relax."
"They'll have to walk their own path in the future. We've done our part. We're going to eat now. You should come soon too; health is the foundation of everything..."
