Chapter 97: She Does Not Deserve to Be A Teacher

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“I just ran into one student of your school. She’s not bad,” Principal Cao mentioned Ye Jian whom he encountered on his way here as soon as he entered the office. He seemed extremely intrigued by her. “She has good stamina. Is she a student with sports specialization?”

Principal Chen felt proud as Principal Cao admired Ye Jian. Smiling, he said, “Ye Jian. Her name is Ye Jian. Old Cao, you have a sharp eye as always.” He turned around and picked up a glass of brewed tea, handing it to Principal Cao. “Try it. Fresh tea from the mountain.”

They had known each other for years, so they treated one another like longtime and familiar colleagues.

“It is a nice tea, just as good as the tea on the market.” Principal Cao took a sip of the tea, looking at his old colleague who was trying to divert the topic. “Come on, tell me more about Ye Jian. In the past two years, our country has made some achievements in sports competitions, but we still have regrets in such track and field programs as the long-distance running and the sprint.”

“I think Ye Jian is a good candidate in this aspect. She could totally develop in this field.”

Principal Cao, once an athlete, had always been fond of discovering students who had potential in sports in every middle school. If they developed well, they could bring honor to their schools as well as their country.

As a top senior high school of this province, the Provincial No.1 Middle School had cultivated students with sports specialization who had made good performances in major and minor competitions. A couple of them had also made their way to the University Games and had achieved amazing scores.

Nevertheless, Principal Chen had few interests in these issues. He took a sip of the tea, smiling. “The kid is ‘excellent’ in every aspect, but I have no intention of letting her make achievements in sports.”

“Why?” Principal Cao asked in surprise. “Old Chen, that does not sound like you.”

In the office downstairs, the arrival of the two teachers from the Provincial No.1 Middle School made the teachers in the office very happy.

They could see how much emphasis the Provincial No.1 Middle School had put into this competition.

Piles of exam paper from the Provincial No.1 Middle School were handed to the head teachers of the eighth and ninth grade. Suddenly, the entire office was filled with the thick smell of ink, as if the office had turned into a sea of knowledge.

As Mrs. Ke entered the office, she saw Mrs. Liu, the head teacher of Class One, recommending the top students of her own class. With a sharp and contempt look on her face, she issued an almost inaudible humph from her nose. And then, she assumed a completely different look. With a bright smile on her face, she walked over to her colleagues.

When Mrs. Liu saw her entering, she smiled and said, “Mrs. Song, this is Mrs. Ke of Class Two. Ye Ying and Ye Jian, the two sisters that I just told you about, are the students of Mrs. Ke.”

At the mention of Ye Ying, the smile on Mrs. Ke’s face was rather bright. But as she heard Ye Jian’s name, her smile froze instantly.

“Mrs. Liu, have you finished? Do you mind me having a few words with Mrs. Song?” Mrs. Ke, who believed that Mrs. Liu had made things difficult for her, glared at Mrs. Liu and said sarcastically with a fake smile on her face. “I should be the one talking about the students in my class. I’m afraid you don’t know them very well, Mrs. Liu.”

All the teachers in this office were accustomed to her harsh tone. So, Mrs. Liu didn’t take it seriously. Smiling, she distributed the exam paper from the Provincial No.1 Middle School to the teachers responsible for the respective subjects.

Mrs. Song from the Provincial No.1 Middle School frowned slightly, her impression of Mrs. Ke worsened drastically in an instant. As a decent and self-restrained teacher, she didn’t say much, but her attitude towards Mrs. Ke was a bit aloof.
