"Stomp, stomp, stomp."
The sound of boots on the ground grew closer, and Hu Qian stared intently at the classroom's front door, wondering if the boys behind her were telling the truth.
"Click."
The doorknob turned, and a stern-faced middle-aged woman with neatly combed hair entered.
Seeing the chaotic scene in Class 3-4 of the senior year, her expression darkened as if it could drip water.
She walked onto the podium in her leather boots and slammed a wooden triangle ruler onto the desk.
"Bang!"
The loud noise instantly silenced the entire classroom. Hu Qian sat in her chair, her left eyelid twitching incessantly.
Seeing all the students' eyes gathered below the podium, Yan Juan, her hair meticulously styled, finally spoke:
"From today onwards, I will be the temporary head teacher of Class 3-4. My surname is Yan, and my name is Yan Yan. From today onwards, I will teach your math classes, and Ms. Cui from Class 2 will teach your English classes."
Hu Qian's pupils dilated slightly. She finally understood why she had felt uneasy all morning. Yan Yan, she was Vice Principal Luo's wife!
Yan Yan, standing on the podium, surveyed the students below. She saw some with a look of schadenfreude, some with sympathy, and some with confusion after hearing her name.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the anger within her.
Dealing with the mess created by those two bitches, no one in the entire senior year group wanted to take over this parallel class, whose average score was almost at the bottom. In the end, she had to clean up their mess.
If the principal hadn't guaranteed that if she took over this parallel class, she would definitely get the senior teacher rating this time, she wouldn't have been crazy enough to take this class.
However, it was just a parallel class anyway, so as long as it was passable on the surface, was she supposed to treat the class taught by that bitch Xue Miao as a treasure?
If anyone dared to say that, let them teach it themselves!
Opening her eyes, Yan Yan's gaze fell on the mock exam papers from the city-wide joint examination placed on the podium. She frowned slightly and said:
"Hu Qian, 87 in math, come up and get your paper."
Hu Qian, who had been called, quickly got up and jogged to the podium to collect her exam paper.
As her hand reached out, she saw Yan Yan pick up the triangle ruler on the podium with her right hand.
"From today onwards, for math exams, the number of points you are short of passing will be the number of slaps you receive on your hands. Those who cannot bear it can apply to transfer classes."
Hu Qian looked at the triangle ruler, which was as long as her arm, and her entire face turned pale. She instinctively took a step back.
Yan Yan glanced at Hu Qian and said in a deep voice:
"Stop!"
Looking at Yan Yan, who was as stern as if she were about to eat someone, Hu Qian had no choice but to extend her hands from behind her back, palms facing up.
Yan Yan's triangle ruler in her right hand struck Hu Qian's palm, which had rarely done any heavy work, with great force. A crisp sound echoed. Hu Qian flinched in pain, blew on her hand, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes and fell.
Seeing this, Yan Yan suddenly felt that the anger from her husband's affair and being investigated seemed to have eased somewhat. To confirm her suspicion, Yan Yan sternly ordered the female student in front of her:
"Two more, hands out!"
After the three were punished, Hu Qian's originally fair and delicate palms were now red and swollen. When she sat back in her seat and accidentally touched the desk, Hu Qian cried out in pain.
After slapping dozens more students, Yan Yan was finally satisfied. However, her face remained stern as she addressed the students of Class 4:
"You will receive an SMS notification from your parents today. Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, all parents of the senior year will gather in the school gymnasium for a college entrance examination mobilization meeting. Day students remember to inform your parents to come back."
Hu Qian, who was carefully placing her palms facing upwards on the desk, became even more flustered upon hearing this. Her previous grades were always among the top ten in the class. Although there was some exaggeration, her mother didn't know, and her father had always been proud of her achievements.
With the results of this joint examination, she estimated she would be in the middle to lower half of the class, or even at the bottom. If her father found out, he might really beat her to death!
Hu Qian pursed her lips tightly and thought to herself:
I must not let my father attend the parent-teacher meeting!

Normal University Affiliated High School.
The foot traffic in the corridor outside Class 3-6 suddenly increased. As people passed by the front or back doors or windows, the 'passers-by' in the corridor would peek into the classroom, looking at the beautiful top student who was rumored to be sitting in the last row.
Liu Chen, who was experiencing the title of the first place in the entire grade for the first time in his two lives combined, also felt a little dizzy.
He felt somewhat undeserving of everyone's 'staring.'
Besides the "53" tutoring books, what other tutoring books were suitable for promotion to everyone?
As Liu Chen was scratching his head in thought, Lai Jing walked in wearing a pair of light green cloth shoes.
Lai Jing was in a good mood today. She had finally confronted that idiot downstairs who treated students like toys, and she had even been praised by the principal in the morning meeting.
He said she had a discerning eye for talent, having unearthed a diamond from No. 12 Middle School. Not only had their school gained a potential Tsinghua-Peking University student, but it had also boosted the class's average score.
Those who had secretly criticized her for taking shortcuts to admit a transfer student now had no choice but to echo the principal's words and praise her.
Recalling the expressions of those people who were clearly unwilling but had to praise her, Lai Jing felt the air become exceptionally fresh.
"Today, I first congratulate our class on their efforts. Thanks to everyone's hard work, our class has the highest average score in the entire grade, and the first place in the grade is Liu Chen from our class."
After speaking, Lai Jing paused, waiting for the children in the class to cheer and celebrate, before continuing with a smile:
"There's also good news, and this is good news for you kids. The principal has decided to hold a mobilization meeting for the senior year in the school auditorium tomorrow. The principal will award prizes to the top three students in the entire grade for this exam."
After speaking, Lai Jing looked in Liu Chen's direction and nodded.
When she received Liu Chen's mock exam results, she had initially wanted to send them to Liu Fang, but then she thought that this kind of surprise would make Sister Liu Fang happier if Liu Chen told her himself.
After the announcement, Lai Jing smiled and stood on the podium without leaving.
"I have seen everyone's efforts and hard work for this exam, so at noon today, Lai Jielun will go and buy the previously registered KFC for everyone to eat at lunch."
As soon as these words were spoken, the cheers of the students in Class 3-6 once again echoed through the campus.
Liu Chen, on the other hand, was lost in thought as he looked at his bank card balance in his text messages. It was now 990,000. He wondered if Ren Yu had reached an agreement with Penguin. If not, could he use this 990,000 to buy a small share?
Although Teacher Lai was treating them to KFC, Mi Zhuzhu and Ren Mo both wanted to eat hot pot today. So, they asked Lai Jielun and Ren Mo to buy KFC, while Mi Zhuzhu and Liu Chen sat in a hot pot restaurant. While Mi Zhuzhu was choosing dishes, Liu Chen pushed his phone screen open and found Ren Yu in his contacts.
He pressed the dial button and made the call.
