Chapter 739: My Dad Is Guan Xue
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Guan Xin stepped forward, assisting Director Zeng to sit down. Her gaze, sharp and piercing, turned towards Teacher Zhou. The woman was quite the actress, her eyes red as if she had suffered a great injustice.
‘What a waste not to perform in a grand theater,’ Guan Xin thought.
“Indeed, Director Zeng,” she said aloud, “I came to see you and also to meet the infamous Teacher Zhou. Is this her?”
She had heard that Teacher Zhou had referred to the student she introduced as a country bumpkin, and a bad influence on his classmates. She also heard that Teacher Zhou believed that Yang Zhen had secured her teaching position through underhanded means. Guan Xin felt it necessary to clarify these matters.
Gu Zi moved to stand beside Su Li, patting his back in a comforting gesture. She then stood aside, falling silent. After exchanging glances with Yang Zhen, she understood Guan Xin’s intentions. There was no need for further argument; Guan Xin would personally handle Teacher Zhou. Yang Zhen also fell silent, watching Teacher Zhou with cold eyes.
Teacher Zhou, upon seeing Guan Xin, felt a sense of familiarity but couldn’t place where she had seen her before. She was momentarily at a loss, resorting to a lofty principle. “Madam,” she said, “as the saying goes, ‘one should mind their own business.’ As far as I know, you are not a teacher at our school. What right do you have to explain anything? This is an internal matter of our school.
“Even if you have some connections and can introduce some students to our school, you should still follow the rules. I’ve always been a person who only recognizes reason.”
Guan Xin looked at Teacher Zhou’s pretentious demeanor and let out a cold laugh as she approached her. “Teacher Zhou, indeed, I am not a staff member of this school. However, I believe I have the right to explain. My name is Guan Xin, my father is Guan Xue. The rural child you mentioned, Su Li, was admitted here through a quota given by my father, along with his brother.
“Teacher Zhou, when you slander Su Li, have you ever thought that your accusations would indirectly splash onto the current principal? It seems that you have a lot of complaints about the principal! By the way, Yang Zhen, the teacher you mentioned, also came to teach at this school through me. Yang Zhen did pass the exam to get in, but she indeed has connections in the school.
“I won’t hesitate to admit today that if there is someone backing Yang Zhen, it’s me, the Guan family. After all, Yang Zhen and I got along well in college. I approve of her. Teacher Zhou, are you saying that I am Yang Zhen’s benefactor? You also said that Yang Zhen angered you, causing your heart disease to flare up. I think, Teacher Zhou, it’s not heart disease you’re suffering from, but jealousy.”
Guan Xin’s words, spoken in one breath, left Teacher Zhou green-faced. Damn it, she hadn’t expected this. This was the principal’s daughter, no wonder she looked familiar. She resembled the principal!
Despite all her calculations, she hadn’t anticipated the sudden appearance of the principal’s daughter halfway through. It turned out that the principal’s daughter was old classmates with Yang Zhen and also acquainted with Gu Zi. She was destined to lose this round!
Feeling a sense of crisis, Teacher Zhou realized that if things continued this way, it would bring her nothing but harm. She might even lose her job. She quickly changed her tone.
“Miss Guan, I have indeed offended you today. Student Su Li, Teacher Yang, I was confused. Please don’t hold it against me. Director Zeng, Miss Guan is right about today’s incident. I am also at fault. How about this? I will voluntarily suspend myself for a few days to reflect on my actions. I will submit my suspension letter soon. I will take my leave now…”
Fearing that someone might change their mind, Teacher Zhou fled the office. The remaining people looked at each other, all giving Guan Xin a thumbs up. Director Zeng said, “This Teacher Zhou is becoming more and more unreasonable. I’ve heard about her arrogance, but I turned a blind eye because she has been working at the school for many years. Now it seems that we can’t indulge her anymore.”
News of Teacher Zhou’s voluntary suspension spread, causing a stir in the teachers’ office. The new teachers who had been oppressed by Teacher Zhou felt a sense of relief and secretly rejoiced. They regarded Yang Zhen as a role model among the new teachers. Moreover, they heard that Yang Zhen and the principal’s daughter were good friends. Everyone regretted not building a good relationship with Yang Zhen earlier.
The teachers who taught the same class as Yang Zhen also realized their oversight. They began to ponder the identity of Su Li’s parents. They heard that Su Li’s mother and the principal’s daughter came to the school together today. Did the Su family and the Guan family have a good relationship?
No wonder Yang Zhen stood up for Su Li. It seemed that they needed to pay more attention to Su Li’s studies in the future and put in more effort.
