Xie Nan was a stickler for rules and couldn't stand to see students not studying diligently.
As such, she was one of the teachers feared by many at the school.
Seeing students from the Chinese Language and Literature class standing there during class time, Xie Nan frowned.
But she still thought carefully, wondering if she had misremembered the time.
Could it be that this class wasn't hers?
She took out her personal schedule and confirmed that this class was indeed for the Chinese Language and Literature students.
"What are you doing? Don't you know class has already started?" Xie Nan stepped forward, her face stern.
Hearing Xie Nan's voice, Su Xiaotian knew things were about to go wrong.
She quickly spoke up to explain, "Teacher Xie, it's our fault. We'll head back to the classroom now!"
Su Xiaotian quickly signaled for the classmates to follow her back.
Upon seeing Teacher Xie Nan, some students were indeed scared and prepared to leave.
But another portion of them were unwilling.
Seeing Su Xiaotian like this made them feel even more wronged on her behalf.
Such an outstanding class monitor was being excluded from the school's parade formation for some unknown reason.
Even if the monitor herself was willing to suffer this injustice, they were not.
The most vocal among them was Zhao Hongmei.
Zhao Hongmei's personality was truly as passionate as a red plum blossom!
"Teacher, we've already discussed it, and we're taking leave for this class today!"
Zhao Hongmei's impulsive statement, without thinking, naturally angered Teacher Xie Nan greatly.
Teacher Xie Nan, having taught for many years, had never encountered such a student. For a moment, her face seemed to be covered in frost.
Su Xiaotian knew this was going to be bad!
She quickly pulled Zhao Hongmei.
"Hongmei, hurry back to class!"
But with Zhao Hongmei's personality, the more you tried to persuade her, the more stubborn she became.
"Teacher Xie, I know you'll be angry when I say this, but some things can't wait!" Zhao Hongmei continued.
Su Xiaotian was too tired to pull Zhao Hongmei anymore.
She was even contemplating whether to knock Zhao Hongmei unconscious with a slap.
Xie Nan hadn't expected Zhao Hongmei to dare to continue speaking like this under pressure.
"Tell me, what is so urgent that it can't wait? If it's truly as important as you say, then I'll grant you leave today. But if what you say cannot convince me, then be prepared to fail this year!"
When Teacher Xie Nan said this, the surrounding students couldn't help but gasp.
Was Zhao Hongmei trying to court disaster?
"Teacher, Zhao Hongmei is delirious from a fever!" Su Xiaotian didn't knock Zhao Hongmei out, but this explanation was almost as good as knocking her out and sending her away.
"Teacher, the class monitor is speaking nonsense." Zhao Hongmei stepped forward, standing in front of Su Xiaotian, and rapidly explained what they were about to do.
As Zhao Hongmei spoke, almost everyone was staring at Teacher Xie Nan, fearing she would get angry.
However, Teacher Xie Nan kept frowning, her lips sealed, making it impossible to know what she was thinking.
After Zhao Hongmei finished, she didn't receive a response from Teacher Xie Nan. She bit her lip.
She guessed that Teacher Xie Nan was not satisfied, and if she wasn't satisfied, would she have to retake Marxist Philosophy?
But did she regret it?
Probably not.
Zhao Hongmei wasn't sure what she was thinking at that moment.
Just as everyone thought Teacher Xie Nan might deal with Zhao Hongmei severely, they heard Teacher Xie Nan finally speak.
"Your name is Zhao Hongmei, isn't it?" Teacher Xie Nan's tone was very calm, making it impossible to discern her emotions.
"Yes, Teacher Xie!"
"Is what you said true?" Teacher Xie Nan stared intently at Zhao Hongmei.
How could the school possibly do something like that?
Was this girl sure she wasn't mistaken?
Xie Nan had a good impression of the school's leadership and felt that the leaders wouldn't do such a thing.
"Yes, Teacher Xie, it's true. The list has already been posted, and our Chinese Language and Literature class has twenty spots, but our class monitor isn't among them. Whether it's based on entrance scores or military training performance, our class monitor is undeniably the best. Even if the school doesn't intend to select our class monitor, there should be a reasonable and convincing reason!"
This time, it was Chang Zongyuan who answered Teacher Xie Nan.
Chang Zongyuan's words, while not as fiery as Zhao Hongmei's, were spoken righteously.
"I'll accompany you to find the school leaders." Teacher Xie Nan looked at Su Xiaotian and said, "You're still too young; you don't know that some things need to be fought for!"
Teacher Xie Nan was very fond of Su Xiaotian, this young girl.
A child like this was worth the school's strong cultivation.
She had already heard that the selection of participants for the National Day parade formation was based on military training performance.
However, she hadn't realized such a complication had arisen!
What was the homeroom teacher of the Chinese Language and Literature class doing?
Didn't they know their students were being wronged?
The students were greatly surprised.
Teacher Xie wasn't telling them to go back to class, but to accompany them to find the school leaders?
Everyone was overjoyed.
While they could go by themselves, having a teacher with them made a difference.
Su Xiaotian also hadn't expected Teacher Xie Nan to get involved in this matter.
In her imagination, no teacher would be willing to manage such a situation.
"Teacher, you..."
"What 'you' and 'me'? Hurry up and go. We still have to come back for class after this!" Teacher Xie Nan said with a stern face.
"Teacher Xie, thank you so much! You are truly the most beautiful teacher in the world!"
As Teacher Xie Nan took a step forward, Zhao Hongmei's effusive praise was heard.
Teacher Xie Nan walked ahead, and the students couldn't see her expression. If they could, they would have noticed a rare hint of a smile on her usually stern face.
Soon, the large group arrived at the principal's office door.
Their journey had already alerted quite a few people.
A teacher, and one of the most difficult teachers in the school, leading a class of students towards the school's administrative building.
They wouldn't think this was a casual chat with the office about life.
Many people followed, from a distance or nearby, wanting to see what they intended to do.
Su Xiaotian followed with mixed feelings.
She felt that since the school dared to remove her from the list, there must be some reason.
Even if they went to inquire, the other party would surely offer countless reasons.
She truly held no hope for this confrontation with the school.
Just as Xie Nan was about to knock on the principal's office door, she suddenly heard voices from inside.
"Principal, since a mistake has been made, why not just go with it? It's just a matter of one student not being selected; who can say it's wrong? Teacher Huo is too young to make such a big fuss over such a small matter!"
The students didn't know who was speaking, but Xie Nan did.
When she heard this voice, she couldn't help but frown.
