Xu Decai set the stage with a few words.
Then it was Shen Yixiao’s turn to apologize.
He walked up to the podium with his apology letter, taking the microphone from Xu Decai.
Hey... hey...
Before speaking, Shen Yixiao tested the mic.
It was just an instinctive action.
However, the students on the playground couldn’t hold back and started laughing.
Bro, you’re here to apologize!
Thought you were singing karaoke!
In the formation of Class Three, Senior Two, Shen Yanran instinctively rubbed her forehead. Of the 365 days in a year, there were probably about 300 days when she didn’t really want to acknowledge this brother, and at this moment, she especially didn’t want to.
Luo Yao, on the other hand, was filled with little stars in her eyes, thinking her boyfriend looked so cool taking the heat!
Xu Decai, standing slightly behind Shen Yixiao, had a face ashen with anger, thinking that if it weren’t for the red envelope, he would have expelled this kid long ago.
"Get straight to the apology, no theatrics!"
Xu Decai whispered tersely.
Shen Yixiao nodded, holding the unfolded letter in his left hand and the microphone in his right, and began his apology.
Dear teachers and fellow students:
Hello everyone.
I am Shen Yixiao from Class Five, Senior Three.
I wish to deeply reflect on and apologize for my inappropriate behavior regarding early romance.
As a student, I fully understand that my primary focus should be my studies and that I should devote all my energy to academics, rather than prematurely engaging in romantic affairs.
Regrettably, I failed to realize this and have let down my teachers and parents...
The apology letter was a template Shen Yixiao found online, which he had slightly modified, yet his words were very sincere.
After finishing the letter, Xu Decai nodded in satisfaction and took the microphone back from Shen Yixiao: "Shen Yixiao’s apology is quite profound. Given that it’s a first offense, the school administration has decided to issue a demerit to Shen Yixiao from Class Five, Senior Three, and Luo Yao from Class Two, Senior Three!"
"Let everyone take this as a warning."
"If a similar situation arises again, it will be dealt with strictly and severely!"
Once he announced the decision, Xu Decai immediately changed his tone and said, "Next, let’s welcome our newly appointed Vice Principal Lin to speak!"
Originally, there was no speaking slot for Vice Principal Lin at today’s flag-raising ceremony. This was a segment specifically added by Wang Guangqing, wanting the newly appointed vice principal to make an appearance before all the teachers and students.
The students believed the flag-raising ceremony would end after Shen Yixiao’s apology.
Who would have thought there was another speech by a leader!
Immediately, a chorus of groans erupted from the playground.
The students loathed these speeches by school leaders, as most speeches by them were as tedious and long-winded as an old lady’s foot wrap!
A complete waste of time.
However, when Lin Xiamo walked up to the podium in her stilettos, those groans turned into a collective "Wow!"
"Is that our vice principal?"
"Wow! Isn’t she a celebrity?"
"I’m about to graduate, why is the vice principal only arriving now!"
"Principal Lin, please talk a little longer, I love listening to you!"
"If only she were a teacher, I’d pay anything to have my dad transfer me to her class!"
"Your dad might even want to go back to school..."
The teenage boys, with their hormones surging, were whispering among themselves.
And Yang Wei, standing at the back of all the formations with a few P.E. teachers, was left stunned.
Vice Principal?
She’s the new vice principal!
Before the flag-raising ceremony, Yang Wei was asking his colleagues if they knew about the new beautiful teacher who joined the school.
Turned out, she was the vice principal.
"Old Yang, the female teacher you mentioned earlier, wasn’t she Vice Principal Lin?"
The P.E. teacher, Guo Mingwei, who stood beside Yang Wei, nudged his chin toward the podium.
"Uh..."
"That’s her."
"How was I supposed to know she’s the new vice principal!"
Yang Wei, feeling dejected, silently recapped his behavior when he tried to chat her up earlier in the morning.
Luckily, he hadn’t said anything too frivolous nor asked for her WeChat.
Behind the formation of Class Five, Senior Three.
Chen Xiangyu was also stunned to see Lin Xiamo. She never imagined that the "beautiful teacher" she encountered in the morning would turn out to be the newly appointed vice principal.
However, this vice principal looked incredibly young!
Could she be under thirty?
Well, perhaps she just looked young.
To have become the vice principal of Sanjiang High School, her qualifications must certainly be impeccable.
In the building above, Shen Qiushan witnessed his son’s apology first.
Then came his sister-in-law’s speech as the vice principal.
See that!
Our family members are always the stars on stage.
It’s just that some are protagonists with positive images, and some with negative images.
Lin Xiamo’s speech always followed a concise and straightforward style, as did this time, using less than three minutes of the time.
Students loved this kind of school leader the most, so once Lin Xiamo finished speaking, the playground rang out with a spontaneous applause.
The flag-raising ceremony concluded.
Students returned to their classrooms in an orderly manner.
If it weren’t for the appearance of Lin Xiamo, the beautiful vice principal, students would likely have focused their discussions on Shen Yixiao’s public apology.
But now, the topic of conversation was largely about Lin Xiamo, the vice principal with celestial looks.
"Yanran, your aunt actually became our vice principal!"
Luo Yao sidled up beside Shen Yanran, whispering.
Shh!
Shen Yanran quickly made a hush gesture: "Don’t tell anyone about this."
"I don’t want others to know!"
"Okay, okay."
"I understand!"
Luo Yao nodded repeatedly, then whispered again: "Yanran, didn’t you think Shen Yixiao looked super cool during his apology just now!"
