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

The phone screen emitted a faint glow.

The chat interface displays lines of messages.

[Teacher Zhang, please keep a close eye on my son Qihang. Thank you. If he misbehaves, please scold him.]

[Teacher Zhang, when do your tutoring classes start? This child's tutoring can't stop.]

[Ms. Zhang, could you please ask if any of the other subject teachers are offering tutoring classes? I'd like Qihang to get some tutoring too, even one-on-one is fine.]

However, these messages disappeared without a trace, and there was no response from the left side.

At this moment, Zhang Li was stunned when she heard Zhao Qihang's words.

"What do you mean? What do you mean by not coming to class today?"

Zhao Qihang spoke softly, "Teacher Zhang left the classroom yesterday afternoon and hasn't come back. Director Pan said that Teacher Zhang has been busy lately, and even today's math class was taught by Teacher Yu from next door."

Zhang Li frowned. Where had the homeroom teacher gone if he wasn't teaching at school?

Did you ask for leave?

Even if you ask for leave, you can't just ignore messages.

You didn't go inside.

After glancing at the unanswered chat box again, Zhang Li suppressed her doubts and took Zhao Qihang home first.

back home.

Zhao Qihang returned to his bedroom and pretended to start studying.

It just goes to show that they never learn their lesson; they're still thinking about going out in the middle of the night to play games on the phone they borrowed from their classmate.

In the kitchen, Zhang Li poured some Chinese medicine into a pot and started brewing it on time.

After getting ready, he sat down, opened his phone, and looked at his chat with Zhang Chao.

After thinking about it, I decided to just call them directly.

It beeped several times, but the other end didn't answer.

Zhang Li hung up the phone first, then called back.

It wasn't until the third call that the other end answered. A hoarse, somewhat impatient voice came through the phone, accompanied by a noisy background.

Who is it?

Upon hearing the call connect, Zhang Li immediately put on a smiling face, and her voice became much more respectful.

"Oh, Ms. Zhang, hello, this is Zhang Li, have you forgotten me?"

Zhang Chao sat at a roadside food stall, with empty bottles on the table and several more lying crookedly on the ground. He was quite drunk.

He gets angry whenever his parents call, and he feels an urge to yell at them.

To this day, he still doesn't know who reported the school for having tutors, nor does he know which lunatic sent the school a series of evidence and screenshots.

He had originally planned to calm down and call the parents in a few days to try and get them to talk, but he didn't expect Zhang Li to keep bombarding him with messages.

They didn't reply to my messages but instead called me.

Is it like relentlessly asking him when he'll reopen his tutoring classes, or stabbing him in the back?

"Spit it out already," Zhang Chao said impatiently.

Zhang Li was taken aback. She took out her phone and glanced at the caller ID. It showed "Teacher Zhang," which was correct.

Why this attitude?

Zhang Li was immediately unhappy, but considering that the other person was her son's homeroom teacher, she could only suppress her displeasure.

"Teacher Zhang, you seem unhappy. What happened?" she asked cautiously.

Zhang Chao chuckled twice. "Is there something you need? If not, I'm hanging up!"

"Something's wrong, something's wrong." Zhang Li quickly said, "Teacher Zhang, my son Qihang said you didn't come to school today. Director Pan said you took leave."

I wanted to ask when your tutoring center will reopen? I need Qihang to catch up on his studies as soon as possible. It's such a crucial time in his second year of high school; his grades can't fall behind. If all else fails, how about I have Qihang come to your house for one-on-one tutoring...?

Zhang Li's words only fueled Zhang Chao's anger, causing him to roar in fury.

"What a load of crap!"

"It's closed, it's gone!"

Zhang Li was stunned and stammered, "Teacher Zhang, why aren't you teaching? If you don't have the energy, you can just teach one of my students."

After saying that, she quickened her pace and continued urgently, "Teacher Zhang, you can't stop giving extra lessons! Did Qihang upset you? I'll go and yell at him in a bit!"

"I'm angry as I am, but I still have to give them extra lessons. Students at this stage are just so frustrating; I'm angry every single day..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhang Chao rudely interrupted her, "Zhang Li, are you deaf? I said we're not doing tutoring anymore, didn't you hear me? What do you mean by not having enough energy? It's just that we're not doing tutoring anymore, we're not offering it, we can't offer it anymore!"

"Some idiot reported that teachers at the school were giving extra lessons, and now the school has found out about me. I'm suspended, you know that?!"

"Do I have to explain it to you clearly for you to understand?"

"Let me tell you, it's not just a report. I don't know which parent submitted all the evidence of the tutoring to the school, otherwise how would I have been caught? It must have been one of you parents. I don't know if it was the same person who did it, but this isn't over..."

Zhang Chao's words rang in Zhang Li's ears like a thunderclap, making her ears ring.

What did she hear?

Someone reported that a teacher at the school was giving extra lessons, and the school investigated and found out who Zhang Chao was.

Zhang Chao has been suspended from his duties?!

Zhang Li's pupils suddenly contracted, and she exclaimed in astonishment, "How is this possible! I..."

She immediately stopped talking, not daring to continue, and subconsciously recalled what had happened some time ago.

"Hello, I would like to report that Mr. Lu Qian, a teacher in Class 25 of Grade 11 at Yucai High School in Jiangcheng City, is engaging in unauthorized tutoring."

She reported Lu Qian!

The report specifically named Lu Qian, including his school, class, and name—everything was correct.

What does this have to do with Zhang Chao?!

She had instinctively tried to prove her innocence, but then her mind suddenly cleared and she immediately shut up.

Is this something that can be said aloud?

Is this the time to prove her innocence?

She reported Lu Qian for tutoring, so the school started an investigation and found out about Zhang Chao.

Zhang Li recalled that Zhang Chao had suddenly closed the tutoring center a few days ago, probably because the school had started an investigation.

At that time, Zhang Chao was still at school and unharmed.

However, when she heard Zhang Chao say that a parent had submitted evidence of tutoring to the school, she was caught.

Zhang Li looked completely bewildered. "It wasn't me!"

I didn't do that!

Even the dumbest person wouldn't do something like that; it's not good for parents, teachers, or students.

Who is it anyway? If you're going to do it, you should wait until you graduate!

Zhang Li's mind was in turmoil. On one hand, she was worried that Zhang Chao would find out about her report, and on the other hand, she was angrily cursing the report materials that she didn't know who had submitted.

At the same time, I felt a little frustrated.

Zhang Chao suspected that the report and the submission of evidence of tutoring were done by the same person, but the problem is that neither of these things had anything to do with her!

Unfortunately, Zhang Li has no way to prove her innocence.

Judging from his attitude on the phone, if Zhang Li dared to reveal this, Zhang Chao would fly over and block her doorstep.

Just as she was pondering what to do, Zhang Chao spoke up again.

"What do you mean, 'you'? By the way, you're the parents' representative, do you know who reported you?"
