Chapter 13
“What’s the point of pretending to be highly educated? If she’s so capable, why is still attending school? Why don’t you just let her be the teacher instead?”
Then, Pei Shulan remembered the banner that was hung at the school gates and snorted lightly.
Those who did not know any better would really think that some genius prodigy had arrived.
Looking at Chen Ming’s expression, Pei Shulan calmed herself down. She did not know what the principal’s intention was, but he should not have assigned an illiterate girl to her class.
Chen Ming was so shocked that he could not speak for a moment.
‘Do you think that I don’t want her to be the class teacher?!
‘If she had agreed, you wouldn’t be needed here anymore!’
The more Chen Ming thought about it, the angrier he got. His eyes widened and he stared at Pei Shulan. The atmosphere in the office was very tense.
“Obviously, student Chi isn’t here to study.”
“She’s trying to scout talents that can contribute to the country!”
After saying that, Chen Ming pushed up his glasses. He did not care about Pei Shulan’s reaction. Chen Ming casually reached out his hand and pulled out a textbook from the bookshelf. He flipped to a certain page and told Pei Shulan, “Read this paragraph carefully.”
Pei Shulan suspected that the old man’s brain had gone haywire. Otherwise, he would not have said what he did.
However, he’s still the principal and she could not ignore his words.
Pei Shulan looked in the direction pointed by Chen Ming.
It was a biography of a person, a domestic scientist who had discovered a certain element three years ago.
The incident had caused quite a stir at that time. It shocked the entire world. The scientist also won a Nobel prize. It was an honor that a normal person could never imagine.
Although Pei Shulan was confused, she read out loud what was written in the textbook.
At first, her tone was filled with anger but as time went on, she sounded more and more respectful.
Pei Shulan was so flabbergasted that she began to look like a living corpse. She was unable to regain her senses for a long time.
“Look, what is this scientist’s surname?”
Chen Ming asked Pei Shulan after she had finished reading.
“Chi.”
That scientist’s surname was Chi!
Based on what the principal had previously said and his reactions, she finally understood the situation!
Pei Shulan’s face no longer looked dignified. In fact, she broke out a cold sweat on her forehead. She raised her sleeves to wipe the sweat off.
…
Before Pei Shulan entered her classroom, she found her voice again.
“All of you, be quiet!”
Her students were like out-of-control wild horses. If she had arrived even just a few more minutes later, a fight would have broken out.
Fortunately, Pei Shulan’s reputation was well known. Once she shouted, the noisy classroom instantly became quiet.
The students all gazed at her.
“It’s over. Teacher is angry again!”
“She’s going to give us more tests…”
“And she’s going to make us copy paragraphs from the textbook…”
All the students shook their heads. They were ready to accept their tragic ending.
However, the angry-looking teacher suddenly put on a gentle smile.
She took a step back and revealed the figure of a girl.
“Please come in.”
