Chapter 14: Aftermath

On the other hand, in the corridor, Zhao Pingchuan was filled with shame and anger. He looked at the two women in front of him as if they were two long-necked ducks that might spread the news in a blink of an eye. He tried his best to save the situation, "Impossible, how could my Zhao Ziwei do such a thing? He has always been very well behaved..."

Zhang Chunxia nodded with a smile, "Yes, yes, that Cheng Ran must be talking nonsense!"

Liu Qun was also certain, "I think Zhao Ziwei is a very well behaved kid, how could he hold hands with a girl and feed her ice cream? Oh, even if he did, it must be these kids playing around!"

"It's impossible!"

"Yes, yes, yes... Impossible..."

Zhang Chunxia shook her head and looked at the direction where Cheng Ran left, sighing with regret, "This Cheng Ran, he was not this kind of kid before... How come he became like this. He has become... a rotten guy!" "Ran Yan'er" is a local term in Shanhai City, which roughly means a hooligan.

Liu Qun said, "Yes, he is talking nonsense with his eyes open, and he is not changing his expression or heart beating! Anyway, I will tell our little tiger to stop playing with him and not to lead him astray... If he dares to confront the class teacher in class, I will directly expel him if I am the class teacher!"

"I heard that his grades have plummeted... This kid probably doesn't plan to take the high school entrance exam, and will just get a technical secondary school diploma..."

At this time, going through junior high school, high school, and college is considered a normal life trajectory. It seems that only by following this trajectory can one have a promising future. In the unit compound, if someone's child fails to even get into high school, it means that his life is ruined and will be bleak from then on. If someone's child gets into a good university, then his future is bright. No matter how big a business you run or how big you win the lottery, it cannot be compared with this future.

Regardless of whether the teacher is qualified or not, arguing with the teacher in school is disrespectful to the teacher. In this era, even the worst students in school would not do such a big thing. Cheng Ran actually broke the bottom line... Therefore, he is almost on par with the rotten Yan'er who is about to drop out of school.

Zhao Pingchuan, who was upset by Cheng Ran early in the morning, snorted coldly, "What kind of son can Cheng Feiyang raise? He has been working in this crappy company for more than ten years with only a salary. How much money can he make... What future can his son have?"

Zhao Pingchuan and Cheng Feiyang have always had conflicts. In the past, when the unit was doing well, Cheng Feiyang's technology was the most popular, and even the purchase of materials required them to make a list... At that time, Cheng Feiyang was a deputy and the principal had retired. Originally, Cheng Feiyang should have been promoted to the principal, but Zhao Pingchuan, relying on the excellent leadership relationship he had always maintained, was transferred to become Cheng Feiyang's immediate superior.

But the technical institute is a place where only people with real abilities are respected. Zhao Ping's wine and noodles were okay, but in the technical institute where technology was needed, no one listened to him. Later, he was transferred to other departments in disgrace. However, he had a grudge against Cheng Feiyang and always believed that it was Cheng Feiyang who formed cliques and sidelined him.

Of course, later on, the unit's performance was not good, so these people just slacked off, taking a salary here and looking for a part-time job outside. Anyway, the unit would collapse sooner or later, so they would suck as much blood as they could. When in the end they couldn't suck any more, they would just go their separate ways and split up the company.

So Zhao Pingchuan, who earns two salaries, naturally looks down on Cheng Feiyang, who is still working in the company and is determined to stick to his old ways. Zhao Pingchuan sneered, "He was a soldier before and became stupid... He deserves his whole family to starve to death!"

Cheng Ran entered the school. As soon as he reached the stairs, Teacher Zeng, who taught physics, came towards him. Teacher Zeng was not very old, about 30 years old, younger than himself in his previous life. However, he was very popular among the students. He did not act like a teacher, but just treated him like a buddy. When he saw Cheng Ran, he showed a strange expression and said, "Hey, Cheng Ran, what are you doing? It's unwise and shouldn't be done..."

The conversation stopped here. Cheng Ran smiled at him. The two of them had just passed each other. Teacher Zeng looked at Cheng Ran's back and was actually convinced in his heart. Some teachers were like this. From the perspective of a colleague, Zeng Qing was not very good at expressing his opinion, but in a large office, everyone knew it. He was also in his late twenties and still had some passion in him. To be fair, if he and Cheng Ran were switched, could he stand up and face Li Zhan's hateful face? No, at this time, even the power of a bad teacher was not something a student could face, but this usually tepid Cheng Ran actually faced it like a warrior.

He was also a little confused as to how Cheng Ran could remain so calm. The way he looked at him just now made it seem as if he was the student writing a report and he was the calm teacher

But Zeng Qing smiled again. To be honest, Li Zhan did have a bad reputation. Everyone knew his tricks. He was an annoying person in school. But it was said that his family had connections in the education system, so it was no wonder that Li Zhan was expelled and returned to school. In recent years, he relied on his connections to suppress ordinary teachers. He also showed all kinds of faces at the dinner table. On the surface, he was a teacher, but in his heart, he insulted this profession. Now that Cheng Ran had done this, some teachers in the grade felt refreshed.

This incident broke out last Friday. After fermenting over the weekend until early this morning, everyone in the grade knew about it. But unfortunately, it is unlikely that Li Chengran will be able to get into No. 1 Middle School based on this bet.

Soon after Cheng Ran entered the classroom, he saw a group of mostly female students in the front row talking to each other. Yang Xia was among them. After a moment, she looked at Cheng Ran with a complicated look in her eyes.

Cheng Ran was still a little surprised, and Yu Xiao squeezed over from the other end. Naturally, he had just gone there to inquire, "Oh no, oh no... Su Qian's father had a dinner party yesterday, and the principal of the junior high school, Zhou Tao, was also there. Someone told him that a student in their third grade made a bet with the teacher to be admitted to the high school department of No. 1 Middle School. Zhou Tao cursed at first and then slammed the table and said that this matter could be reported. On the one hand, it would help the students who were taking the junior high school entrance examination to build up their psychological strength, and on the other hand, it would reflect the progress of education. If students want to bet with teachers, then let them bet... It shows that teachers are not superior to students. If students win, teachers should keep their promises. If teachers win, students should admit defeat! This is also a reflection of integrity!"

The expression Yu Xiao made was so lifelike. Cheng Ran looked over and saw the girl named Su Qian also looking at him and nodded, her bangs fluttering.

Su Qian's father worked at the Education Bureau's Institute of Education, so it was not surprising that she got this information. The key was that Zhou Tao, the principal of the junior high school of No. 1 Middle School, was a well-known figure in the city. He was tall, about 1.8 meters tall, liked to wear Zhongshan suits, and was gentle and elegant. But he was a thorough reformist, and many of the systems and construction policies of the junior high school of No. 1 Middle School were often at the forefront. It's like now, if ordinary people talk back to teachers or dare to bet with teachers, and the principal hears about it, he probably won't do much, and he can't do everything himself. Anyway, there are deans below to deal with these outrageous students, whether it's threats, self-review and apology, or public criticism, all have their own set of methods.

But it’s different for Zhou Tao. First of all, he can talk about the aspects that reflect the progress of education... He really takes this matter so seriously.

"Now, what should we do?" Yu Xiao said, opening his eyes wide and looking at Cheng Ran.

And now it's not just Yu Xiao. Cheng Ran discovered that the people in the front rows and on his left and right were all staring at him, as if they wanted to see what kind of mood he was in.

Cheng Ran looked around and said, "Do I have the final say on what to do?... Then let's do this."

These words were said lightly, but a group of people didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They weren't really asking you what to do, but everyone knew that you wouldn't pass the exam...

You're doomed to lose this bet...

But due to consideration, no one exposed Cheng Ran who seemed "mysteriously confident" at this time.

In the Dean's office, Li Zhan looked at Vice Principal and Dean Zhang Ming with a gloomy face and asked again and again, "Do I really want to do this?"

Zhang Ming looked annoyed. "What else can we do about what Zhou Tao told us to do... Zhou Tao knows a student in your class, and he has already asked about the relevant situation. That guy named Cheng Ran didn't insult you, he just made a bet with you. Now that Zhou Tao has intervened, it will be difficult for the teaching department to handle it."

Li Zhan was about to vomit blood. What did he mean by he didn't insult him? But what was the difference between Cheng Ran's behavior and insulting him? He was simply slapping him in the face in public!

"If he really gets into the senior high school of No. 1 Middle School, I really have to apologize to him and call him teacher, right?"

"Zhou Tao wants to show the so-called openness of education. If that time really comes, I will see you take advantage of the situation and say that your criticism was not measured, and you can just apologize and let it go."

But after hearing that this was the intention of the principal Zhou Tao, Li Zhan stopped struggling and just said, "I'm not worried about that day, because Cheng Ran is simply a hopeless case. It's just that Zhou Tao is going to ruin No. 1 Middle School sooner or later!" From his point of view, of course he didn't want things to develop in this way. He didn't expect that just a little Cheng Ran would make the situation so difficult to control.

After the second class, when the whole school finished the break exercises, Zhang Ming stood on the podium and announced to the whole school, "Last week, in our third grade, a student named Cheng Ran made a bet with his teacher. He wanted to be admitted to a key high school! This student, whose grades were not very good, was very happy to make such a bet. Well, in the face of the high school entrance examination, he was as brave as a tiger. This kind of mentality and courage is worth learning!"

At this point, under the platform, it was as if the mummy black beetles in "The Mummy" were emerging, and the rustling sound spread endlessly.

Is this considered a school-wide criticism, or is it a way to help him become famous

As for Zhang Ming's series of clichés that followed, "Especially now that we are facing the final moment of the watershed high school entrance examination, this is a warning and we must not let down our guard..." no one listened.

Cheng Ran thought, okay, after being reborn, the last period of junior high school was also very turbulent.
