Mr. Cao Got Really, Really Mad

Chen Yitong was also surprised for a moment.

She raised her eyes to look at Teacher Cao and asked,

“Could there be a mistake? Zhou Yining is an introverted child, an honest and good kid. She shouldn’t be able to do something like hand in a blank paper.”

“How could she not? Take a look.” Teacher Cao handed the answer sheet in his hand to Chen Yitong.

Chen Yitong took the answer sheet and glanced at it, still feeling that Zhou Yining didn’t seem like a rebellious child who would deliberately hand in a blank paper.

“Could it be that there wasn’t enough time, or she forgot to fill in the card?”

“How could she forget? No one in the entire grade handed in a blank paper except for her. Also, is she really introverted?

The love letters she wrote to male classmates are spread everywhere, it’s simply shameless. How can a student like this still be studying at First High School? It’s really infuriating.”

Teacher Cao had been embarrassed by Zhou Yining in class yesterday, and now Zhou Yining handed in a blank paper, wasn’t that obviously targeting him?

After thinking about it, Teacher Cao asked again,

“What about her other subjects? Did she hand in any blank papers?”

Teacher Zhang and Chen Yitong exchanged glances and shook their heads.

Teacher Cao was even more angry, the veins on his forehead bulging.

“What does she mean by this? Is she deliberately doing this to show me? Fine, 0 points in English, I’ll see how high she can rank in the grade.”

Saying that, Teacher Cao looked at the English class representative who was following behind him and said,

“Go and call Zhou Yining over here. I don’t believe it today. I’ve been teaching for decades, and this is the first time I’ve taught a student like this.”

Yu Yang trotted out of the office and ran to the class.

He shouted a report, and the teacher who was watching over self-study let Yu Yang into the class.

Yu Yang told the teacher, then walked to Zhou Yining.

“Zhou Yining, Teacher Cao wants you to go to the office.”

Zhou Yining calmly closed her math practice book.

Sure enough, what was coming would come.

Zhou Yining nodded to Yu Yang, got up and followed Yu Yang out of the classroom.

As soon as she left, the quiet class started to whisper.

“What’s wrong with Zhou Yining? Why did Teacher Cao suddenly call her over?”

“She seems to have not filled in her English answer sheet, she’s definitely getting scolded.”

“Then she’s done for. She offended Teacher Cao in class yesterday, won’t she be scolded to death by Teacher Cao?”

The teacher at the podium heard the commotion below and immediately started to maintain order.

“Tsk, be quiet. You all did well on today’s exam, right? You have the leisure to care about other people. Take care of yourselves.”

Sure enough, everyone wilted at the mention of today’s exam.

Zhou Yining calmly followed Yu Yang out of the class.

Yu Yang couldn’t help but remind her, “Teacher Cao is very angry, don’t argue with him too hard later.”

“It’s okay, I can handle it.” Zhou Yining said calmly.

As an author who wrote stories about strong female leads, she was best at turning the tide against the wind.

The more people there were, the better, the more public it was, the better.

When she was almost at the door of the office, Zhou Yining took out the phone in her pocket and pressed the recording button.

She and Yu Yang entered the office one after the other.

This was the large office for the second-year grade, where all the teachers worked.

Teacher Cao’s voice was very loud just now, so many teachers cast gossipy glances over here.

Zhou Yining went to Teacher Cao as soon as she entered the office.

Teacher Cao was even more angry when he saw Zhou Yining’s calm expression.

He threw the answer sheet directly on the ground in front of Zhou Yining.

“Take a look for yourself. Zhou Yining, what do you mean? If you’re not satisfied with me, you can say it directly. What does handing in a blank paper mean? This is being irresponsible to yourself, do you know that?”

Zhou Yining’s emotions didn’t fluctuate much.

She looked at Teacher Cao calmly.

“Last time in class, you slandered me for copying answers.

If I hadn’t done another set of papers, I’m afraid I would have been labeled as copying answers.

A teacher shouldn’t be so petty, and shouldn’t falsely accuse students.”

“Zhou Yining, are you doing this on purpose?” Teacher Cao was so angry that he wanted to push Zhou Yining.

Chen Yitong pulled Zhou Yining back and stood in front of Zhou Yining herself.

“Teacher Cao, you can reason with a disobedient child, but you can’t hit her.”

“What’s the use of a student like her studying so well? Her character is bad, she contradicts teachers, and she doesn’t even understand respecting teachers, Zhou Yining, does your family have any discipline?” Teacher Cao’s face turned red.

He was over forty years old, and being embarrassed by a student here made him feel like he had lost a lot of face.

Zhou Yining was very calm.

She asked, “Where is my character bad? Just because I resisted after being wronged by you, you’ve been holding a grudge against me? Teacher Cao, are you so petty?”

“Zhou Yining, do you have any shame? Do you really want me to say it? The love letters you wrote to male students were posted on the confession wall. Anyone who has any self-respect wouldn’t do such a thing, it’s simply shameless.”

“How am I shameless? Writing is everyone’s right, and liking someone is also everyone’s right. I have never gone to Zhang Ye, nor have I disturbed him.

On the contrary, the person who stole what I wrote and put it on the confession wall is the one who broke the law.

However, I have already recorded the screen and collected evidence, and I will use legal means to defend my right to privacy from being violated.”

As Zhou Yining spoke, she smiled coldly at Teacher Cao.

“And you, as a teacher, without understanding the situation, verbally insulted me and assumed that I posted the things on the confession wall based solely on your subjective assumptions.

I think my right to reputation has been violated, and I will hire a lawyer to sue you as well.”

“Listen to that, she’s going to sue me? Who would be free enough to post your love letters online? Isn’t it because you’re shameless and want to attract Zhang Ye’s attention that you posted them yourself?”

The English teacher was also very angry.

Why hadn’t he noticed Zhou Yining was so stubborn before?

There were so many teachers in the office, he had to lose face today.

Chen Yitong frowned slightly.

She also felt that what Zhou Yining said made sense.

Grades were grades, but as a teacher, it was not good behavior to attack a student personally without evidence.

“Teacher Cao, let’s talk about grades and not bring up other things.”

As an old teacher, Teacher Cao was contradicted by Chen Yitong’s words, and he became even more angry.

“Fine, Teacher Chen is going to be Zhou Yining’s backer, right? Good, then I won’t care if Zhou Yining’s English grades are terrible in the future.”

After he finished speaking, he raised his head and waited for Chen Yitong to persuade him.

After all, Chen Yitong had only been working for two years and was considered a junior.

Who knew that Chen Yitong didn’t pay attention to her at all, but looked at Zhou Yining instead.

“What’s going on with the forum? Your privacy was exposed? Do you want me to contact the people at the school to help you delete the things on the confession wall first?”

Chen Yitong was also a woman, and she knew how much bad publicity could hurt a girl.

“Thank you, teacher, but no need. The more the matter ferments, the greater the punishment the person who violated my right to privacy will receive in the end. So I thought, let the things on the confession wall stay for a few more days.”

Zhou Yining smiled at Chen Yitong and said frankly.

Those harsh words that hurt others were actually knives.

They couldn’t hurt the current Zhou Yining, but what about the original owner?

The original owner was just a girl who wasn’t even 18 years old.

How helpless was she when facing rampant rumors?

Zhou Yining sighed and thought of the original owner’s family.

She felt sorry for the original owner.

She was probably unable to confide in anyone when she encountered such bullying at school.

After all, only Zhou Jiaming seemed like the child of the original owner’s parents in that family.

Seeing Zhou Yining’s calm expression, Chen Yitong couldn’t help but re-examine Zhou Yining.

Anyone would be panic-stricken when encountering such a thing, but Zhou Yining’s performance was very calm.

Chen Yitong couldn’t help but give Zhou Yining an admiring look.

The two of them were talking about things, but they had left the English teacher hanging there.

His chest rose and fell with anger, and he glared at Yu Yang.

“What are you still standing there for? Come with me to tally the scores.”

If others didn’t give him face, he could only find face for himself, otherwise, it would be even more embarrassing to be stuck here.

Teacher Cao glared at Chen Yitong obscurely.

Protecting students and opposing him, they had formed a feud today.

Chen Yitong completely ignored Teacher Cao, and she looked at Zhou Yining and advised,

“Grades are your own. Teacher Cao’s words just now were wrong, but handing in a blank paper affects you.”

“I know, teacher, but this isn’t the national college entrance exam. I have a sense of proportion.” Zhou Yining looked at Chen Yitong, neither humble nor arrogant.

Chen Yitong sighed and continued, “I really didn’t know about the confession wall. I heard other teachers mention it a few days ago, but I didn’t ask them about it in detail. In the end, it’s my fault as a homeroom teacher that I didn’t discover this matter and made you feel wronged.”

Zhou Yining shook her head.

“It’s not your fault. Grievances have their source, debts have their debtors. I’m only looking for the person who posted my diary on the confession wall.

Teacher, you’re already tired from managing a class, so you don’t need to be distracted by my affairs. I can handle it myself.”

Looking at the mature and stable Zhou Yining in front of her, Chen Yitong suddenly had the illusion that Zhou Yining’s social experience was more experienced than her own.

She looked at Zhou Yining’s eyes again and said solemnly,

“Come find me if you have anything. I’m your teacher, so I can’t just watch you get bullied. Also, remember to come to me if you have any more conflicts with the English teacher in the future.”

“Okay, thank you, teacher.” Zhou Yining smiled calmly at Chen Yitong.

She thought that this homeroom teacher was actually a good person, very responsible, but there were more than fifty students in a class.

Even if the teacher had three heads, she couldn’t take care of so many people.

Also, the original owner was inferior and sensitive, and had no presence in the class.

It was excusable that the teacher didn’t notice the original owner.

“Go back, remember, come to me as soon as possible if you have any difficulties. You’re still a child, don’t think about handling everything yourself.” Chen Yitong instructed again.

“Okay, I’ve written it all down, thank you teacher.”

Zhou Yining was like an obedient and good student at this moment, as if she wasn’t the one who had just argued with the English teacher.
