"Zuzi, you piece of trash, you go to the broadcast room right now and make a public apology for the entire lunch period. A wasteful garbage like you doesn’t need lunch!"
Fang Yumei couldn’t tolerate slackers skipping class, and even less so when they ignored her and challenged her authority right in front of her!
Just as she was furiously yelling.
From the East Sea Class, Wu Qianman suddenly rushed out, panting, "Teacher Fang, Zuzi and Wu Minghao didn’t skip class, I can prove it. They were, were, were rehearsing for the English competition! You said that participating students could inform the class rep and take two classes off to practice!"
Wu Qianman was, coincidentally, the English class rep for East Sea Class.
If permission was granted or not, her records would count.
Fang Yumei had indeed instructed this, and hearing this made her expression soured.
This damn thing was as if she slapped her own face, she wished she could tear that ignorant fool Wu Qianman down to shreds with her glare.
Right after, she would revoke that fool’s class representative role!
Xi Ruzhu noticed this and her eyes welled with tears about to fall; seizing the opportunity she gently spoke up, "Teacher Fang, it’s true that there’s a system for taking leave for English competition rehearsals."
Fang Yumei: "...!" This was too much, even her most trusted class rep had turned idiotic?
Wu Minghao and the others were even more surprised: "???" How odd, that hypocritical top student actually stood up for them?
Zuzi merely put away her watch casually.
With eyes like a startled swan, she scanned Xi Ruzhu sharply and indifferently.
Xi Ruzhu pursed her lips, as though worried that Zuzi might see through her, and said cautiously, "Teacher Fang, but you mentioned it was only those who have a speaking role in the competition that could take leave... I’m not sure if Zuzi is eligible for a speaking role..."
Fang Yumei realized something and was pleased with Xi Ruzhu, snorted coldly: "If leave is taken, it means going on stage! Not going on stage? That’s lying to get out of class, even worse!"
So that’s where the trap was.
Wu Minghao silently cursed.
Damn hypocrites, they just can’t stop getting into dirty dealings!
The English competition has a written test and a speaking stage, only the top two English students in each class get to go on stage for a twenty-minute dialogue presentation.
Hence needing special time for practice and coordination.
East Sea Class’s best in English were Gu Jingyan and Wu Qianman, only they were qualified to represent the class, obviously, Gu Jingyan disdained practicing.
Zuzi had a zero in her English test, and Wu Minghao only scored 50, having the two of them go on stage for an English presentation?
Isn’t this just putting them out for the whole school to laugh at?
What’s worse, the competition is this afternoon!
With only half a class and a lunch break left, even if they cram like mad, there’s no way they could memorize the speech, oh God.
Are they really about to embarrass themselves in front of the whole school?!
Wait, this competition is co-hosted by four schools, the embarrassment would spread city-wide!
Wu Minghao was absolutely fuming: "The competition speech and missing class are two separate things, can we not mix them up! I’ll write a 5000-word..."
Before he finished, Zuzi interrupted, calmly saying, "Going on stage to talk, right? Ancestor and little mouse can."
Wu Minghao: "..." Oh dear, Ancestor sister, that’s really not possible!
The language technicality is way too high, we both know our limits.
