Chapter 34: Boost Other People’s Morale And Reduce One’s Own Courage?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The form teachers of Class 10, Li Hua, and Zhou Liping, both had graduated from Yun City’s Teacher-Training University and job-hopped together from a public school to Isa College.
However, Zhou Liping was teaching the best students while Li Hua was given the worst.
During last year’s teachers’ review, Li Hua lagged behind Zhou Liping.
As a result, Zhou Liping always behaved in a superior manner in front of her.
“Miss Li, I heard Wen Ruan and my class’s Ye Wanwan are sisters. Even Ye Wanwan, who is ranked number six, dare not make such comments. But your Wen Ruan is so confident. She really has been taught well by you.”
“However, overconfidence might lead to overestimation of one’s capabilities. Miss Li, both Wen Ruan and you are the targets of ridicule now. You better go talk to Wen Ruan in private, otherwise she might even lose her current position of sixth from the last!”
Li Hua was so angered by Zhou Liping that her face turned black.
She went to summon Wen Ruan from the classroom and took her to a small hill behind the track field immediately.
Li Hua placed her hands on her hips and vented her frustration onto her. “How dare you think about getting into the top three with your current score? Is your grandma going to bribe the people in the Education Bureau to give you the answers in advance?”
Wen Ruan smiled at the fuming Li Hua. “I can’t get access to the answers. But Miss Li, if you need medicines that will regulate your menopausal hormones, I can give them to you for free.”
Li Hua choked when she heard that and pointed her finger at Wen Ruan. “You, you, you, you…”
“Calm down, Miss Li. It’s not worth sweating over the small stuff.”
Li Hua’s bosom was moving up and down. This trouble-making little witch was trying to console her?
“You go and put up a post right now to clarify that you never said that since you’re not going to achieve it!”
Wen Ruan blinked and her pink lips formed a cute pout. “But I did say that!”
Wen Ruan was going to be the death of Li Hua. “Are you trying to make me drown in shame together with you? It’s not just you, even I have become a joke in the entire school!”
“Do you think you can ever be like Huo Jingxiu or Ye Wanwan? They are good students while you are a lousy one. You must understand the difference between them and you. Don’t make a fool of yourself!”
Regardless of how angry Li Hua was, Wen Ruan maintained her calm demeanor. She didn’t get agitated, like she used to get in the past. She crossed her fair hands in front of her and waited for Li Hua to finish venting her frustration out.
Then she said with a smile, “Miss Li, how can you boost other people’s morale and reduce one’s own courage? If Miss Zhou from Class 1 can produce good students, there is no reason that you can’t!”
Wen Ruan fluttered her thick eyelashes and looked at Li Hua innocently. “Or perhaps, you think you are not as good as Miss Zhou?”
Li Hua was taken aback before she said angrily, “How could that be? I am not inferior to her!”
“That’s right. So, you must believe in yourself.”
The school bell rang and Wen Ruan pointed towards the classroom. “Miss Li, I got to go for my class now!”
Li Hua waved her hand distractedly. “Go!”
But the minute Wen Ruan left, Li Hua frowned.
What just happened here? She was actually fooled by this little lass?
Were her grades poor due to her teaching being inferior to Zhou Liping?
What kind of logic was that?
…
Li Hua left with a sullen expression. A loud laughter that had been reined in for a long time, broke out from behind the bushes.
