From what she knew of Sheng Yang, this girl was indifferent by nature and wouldn't tell the truth at all. He could only find the answer to the puzzle by himself.

The princ.i.p.al flipped through the stack of test papers, narrowed his eyes, and suddenly came up with an idea.

It seemed it was really as he guessed.

The next day, Li Mei took the initiative to go to the princ.i.p.al and said eagerly, “Princ.i.p.al, can I go back to Cla.s.s 7?”

She planned to reclaim the teaching rights for Cla.s.s Seven first then work up a way to convince Sheng Yang to return to Cla.s.s One which she originally belonged to.

This was the plan she came up with during the last week.

The princ.i.p.al's ears were finally working this time. He raised his head and looked at her. “Ms. Li, Ms. Cui will be Cla.s.s 7's Chinese language teacher until graduation.”

“Why?” Li Mei didn't expect this change and was shocked. She thought that the princ.i.p.al just gave her a little warning, but the princ.i.p.al turned out to be serious.

“There's no reason. Ms. Li, I'm telling you. This was a joint decision by the school leaders,” the princ.i.p.al said, a little forcefully.

Li Mei was at a loss for words. She was always subservient to the princ.i.p.al and was even called “the princ.i.p.al's henchwoman”, but that was because the princ.i.p.al's actions benefited her. He always gave her the best students.

Li Mei wanted to persuade the princ.i.p.al to transfer Sheng Yang back to Cla.s.s One. But looking at the princ.i.p.al's stern face, she shut up.

At least, for now.

She turned around sadly and left the office silently, crestfallen.

“Alas—” When she left, the princ.i.p.al looked at her back and took a long breath.

Li Mei was very capable, but for a teacher, that wasn't enough.

He gave her a chance, but she didn't cherish it.

As soon as Li Mei walked out of the office, she ran into the vice-princ.i.p.al who hurried over.

The vice-princ.i.p.al had been studying in another city recently and had just returned, but then he learned the shocking news.

It turned out that Sheng Yang wasn't a poor student at all. He had found such a good seed for the school, but the princ.i.p.al threw such a tantrum back then.

He was so wronged. The princ.i.p.al had to apologize to him!

Now he knew why the princ.i.p.al suddenly decided to admit Sheng Yang. It turned out to be a conspiracy, but the princ.i.p.al didn't give him the slightest hint! This d.a.m.n old fox!

Distracted, Li Mei b.u.mped into the vice-princ.i.p.al who was hurrying over!

“Ouch!”

“Oh, sorry, Vice Princ.i.p.al…” Li Mei apologized listlessly.

The vice-princ.i.p.al raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Mei in front of him, feeling a bit strange.

Li Mei was always arrogant, boasting that no one was more professional than her throughout the school. How come she looked so frustrated and dispirited now?

The vice-princ.i.p.al didn't like Li Mei very much and couldn't understand why the princ.i.p.al treated her so well, continually a.s.signing good students to her cla.s.s. Now he finally had a chance to taunt her.
