The intern taught a top-performing class, and the parents wanted to change the homeroom teacher.

The room was completely silent.

More than fifty pairs of eyes were staring at Zhang Chao, making his scalp tingle.

Zhang Li's eyes widened in disbelief; she had never expected Zhang Chao to say such a thing.

I am a parent of a student in your class, and you are siding with the students in Class 25?

First, there are traitors.

Secondly, I am not the traitor.

In fact, apart from Zhang Li, other parents were also starting to have second thoughts.

It seems that the students in Class 25 didn't cheat, and Teacher Lu didn't leak the questions either.

The main problem is that Zhang Li just can't produce any evidence of leaking the exam questions, even though she was so certain about it last night.

Besides, teachers leaking exam questions is a very serious matter, so Director Pan didn't need to lead the whole school in making a scene about them.

They felt like they had been tricked.

……

Director Pan and Lu Qian also looked at Zhang Chao in surprise, neither of them expecting Zhang Chao to speak up for Class 25.

Lu Qian had a clear understanding of the situation on the field, and he admired Zhang Chao a bit.

I really admire you.

You might think Zhang Chao is smart, but he questioned the leak of exam questions; you might think he's stupid, but he still managed to get a teaching position at Yucai School, so he must have some skills.

Would you dare to smooth things over in this situation?

Offending both sides requires commendable courage.

Why don't you just stay invisible?

Sure enough, Zhang Li's expression changed immediately.

"Teacher Zhang, what do you mean? I haven't even mentioned the drop in Class 7's grades. When Class 7 was assigned to you..."

Zhang Chao's face immediately turned green, and he quickly interrupted, "Class 25's results are clearly wrong. We have to compete, we absolutely must compete! I'll go get the students!"

As he pushed his way through the students toward the door, he lightly slapped himself twice.

Why is my mouth so foul?

Is that the time to offer a way out?

The best-case scenario is that Class 7 can solve more problems than Class 25, but is that even possible?

Heh, what if?

Zhang Chao hurriedly returned to Class 7 and called out the five students with the best math scores, and also called out Zhao Qihang at the same time.

"Teacher, what's wrong?" the five students asked, looking at each other in confusion.

Faced with the students' doubts, Zhang Chao took a deep breath and said, "Well... there's a math competition later, and I'd like you guys to participate. The environment will be quite harsh, and the pressure will be high, so just think of it as a nightmare."

Five students: "?"

Zhao Qihang was also puzzled. "Teacher, I'm not very good at math."

Zhang Chao sighed, "The teacher knows, but some people don't."

As he spoke, he patted Zhao Qihang on the shoulder, "No matter what happens later, don't take it to heart. Hey... the teacher calls your name in class so that you'll pay attention."

Zhao Qihang nodded, seemingly puzzled.

Why tell him all this?

……

Director Pan's office.

Watching Zhang Chao's departing figure, Zhang Li snorted coldly, thinking that they were all good-for-nothings.

"Director Pan, it would be more reassuring if you went to see Teacher Shao yourself."

Zhang Chao has already betrayed us. We'll deal with Lu Qian first, then we'll deal with Zhang Chao.

Director Pan took a deep breath and smiled with relief.

Okay~~

as long as you are happy.

"Okay, I'll go find Teacher Shao. There's a case of bottled water I bought there, Teacher Lu, you can open it and give it to the students. I'll be right back."

It is still a battlefield that he can control.

The students of Class 25 voluntarily made way for Director Pan, which made him somewhat gratified. It seemed that he wasn't a complete failure as a director; at least he still had some prestige among the students.

The office suddenly fell silent.

Being stared at by these students always made Zhang Li and other parents feel uneasy.

...

Director Pan arrived at Class One.

The classroom door was open, so he knocked on it, signaling Shao Mingrui to come out.

He could have used his phone to make a call, but Pan Hai felt that if he didn't come out for a while to catch his breath, he would be driven mad with anger.

"Director Pan, what's wrong? You look so pale." Shao Mingrui asked with a puzzled look, closing the door behind him as he left.

"Teacher Shao, things are a bit complicated. Would you like to take some blood pressure medication first?" Pan Hai said, trying to give her a heads-up.

Shao Mingrui was taken aback, then chuckled and said, "What's so serious? Tell me, it's nothing. Do you think I'm not resilient enough? I've seen it all."

"Alright, I'll make it short. It all started a month ago, Teacher Lu..." Pan Hai began to recount what had happened.

As a participant, Shao Mingrui was entitled to know everything.

Pan Hai didn't embellish the story; he simply stated what he had said, and incidentally added the comment, "Couldn't Teacher Shao have leaked the exam questions to Lu Qian?"

"...That's how it is. Those parents are in my office now. Zhang Li specifically asked you to set the questions," Pan Hai said.

Shao Mingrui fell silent, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Wait for me, I'll go find some blood pressure medication first."

"No need to look, I brought it." Pan Hai took out a medicine bottle from his pocket and handed it over. "I always carry it with me now, and I also have some nitroglycerin pills."

"That's why you call yourself the director; you're so well-prepared." Shao Mingrui didn't even drink water, just gulped it down. "Phew... What an undeserved disaster. Who did I offend? I'm done summarizing. Let's go."

The two men, looking distressed, walked toward the office.

……

On the other side, Zhang Chao had already brought six students to the office.

As soon as the door opened, the students from Class 25 turned around and glared at them fiercely.

The six students in Class 7 were stunned and instinctively took a step back.

The student who opened the door quickly said, "Sorry, I've come to the wrong place."

Then the door was slammed shut.

Zhang Chao reluctantly opened the door again. "You've come to the right place, come in."

Six students hunched over and went inside, standing in a corner, trembling.

Is this what a nightmare is like?

When will you wake up?

"Qihang, come here." Zhang Li called out to Zhao Qihang.

Zhao Qihang was stunned. "Mom, what are you doing here?"

"Never mind them, just answer the questions properly and expose these bad students for cheating," Zhang Li said calmly.

In her view, even if her own child didn't do well on the exam, they were still better than these underachieving students.

Zhao Qihang was dumbfounded.

A poor student?

Who?

How do I compare to the students in Class 25?

However, after a bitter smile, he quickly accepted it, since it wasn't the first time anyway.

He was used to being suddenly called out by his elders at a gathering to show off his report card and achievements.

However, Mom, you're probably going to be disappointed this time.

For some reason, Zhao Qihang suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.

If I let my mom know that I'm not that good, will the previous situation never happen again?

He felt like he was sick.
