林琦已经查看了秦然的档案.
这个女孩只不过是一个彻头彻尾的不良少年.她不仅在以前的学校成绩中排名垫底,而且卷入了无数的打架和骚乱.她还请了一年假,尽管她休学的原因尚不清楚.
易忠一直把自己的学业成功率放在首位,而秦然在各科,尤其是历史方面的惨淡表现,让丁主任不愿意录取她.
所有人都预料到秦然会有些欠缺,但谁也没想到她如此不配,连丁主任都拒绝收留她.
林琦随便给她找了个私塾的名额.
但现在,事情发生了奇怪的转变.
秦羽轻笑一声,转向秦然."你说...你有我们校长的推荐信吗?
义忠是名校老派,凡是能登上校长之位,必定有着强大的背景和影响力,尤其是现任校长,据说神出鬼没如龙.
就连林琦最初也只是联系了丁主任.
秦然的背景已经不是什么秘密了——她来自一个偏远贫困的村庄,在那里几乎不可能见到义忠的校长.
"是的,"秦然回答,声音简洁.
她微微向后靠,黑色背包挂在椅背上.她把手伸进去,掏出一个白色信封.
"够了!"宁清江的手猛地拍在桌子上,声音尖锐却缺乏力气."谁教你这么容易撒谎?你不感到羞耻吗?
她不遗余力,甚至忍气吞声向林七求助,结果秦然却忘恩负义.
"有些人已经无能为力了,"她低声喃喃道.
"妈,你别太难过,"秦宇赶紧安抚她,轻轻拍了拍妈妈的背."也许...也许这封信真的是我们校长写的..."
宁清江冷笑一声."她做了很多愚蠢的事情,你不要为她辩护!"
她之所以把秦然带到云城面前,唯一的原因是秦寒秋的威胁,宁清江的挫败感已经达到了顶峰.
清晨散步回来的林锦萱看到了骚动,沉思片刻,笑着问道:"这是怎么回事?
秦宇紧紧贴在林锦萱身边,简单说明了情况.
整件事似乎完全荒谬.
秦然喝完粥,捏了捏手中的信,将黑色的背包扛在肩上,站了起来."我要去上学了."
她穿着一件宽松的白色T恤,皮肤白皙无瑕.
她按照自己的节奏走了出去,丝毫不在意她留下的混乱.
在她身后,宁清江火冒三丈.
"你姐姐可能去哪里?"秦宇说."其实,如果她只是认错,就不会..."
林锦萱突然开口,声音沉稳."她没有骗你."
林琦,秦羽等人还在努力处理他的话.
林锦轩回想起信上的印章,眉头微微皱起,补充道:"那封信上的印章,是徐校长的亲印.我以前在学生会的时候见过.
房间里陷入了惊愕的寂静.
直到现在还没有说话的林琦,同样震惊了.
宁清江站在那里,嘴微微张开.事件的突如其来的转变让她哑口无言,情绪动荡不安.
还没等她反应过来,林七就轻轻问道:"秦然认识徐校长吗?
秦宇紧紧攥着包,垂眸低垂,轻轻喃,转身朝学校走去,神情难以辨认.
在横川义忠.
在校长办公室.
一位戴着老花镜的老人坐在办公桌后面,他的衣着整齐而精确.他的眼睛隐藏在眼镜后面,锐利而敏锐.
A woman and a slightly older man entered the room, the woman's voice stiff. "Principal Xu."
Her eyebrows were unkempt, her eyes wide with a touch of severity, and her lips slightly curled downward, making her appear stern and hard to approach.
This was Li Airong, the only female homeroom teacher for the senior class at Yi Zhong.
Principal Xu lowered his pen, glancing briefly at the girl sitting in the corner, her legs casually crossed. "Li, I have a student I want to place in Class 1."
He succinctly explained the situation.
It was rare for a senior student to transfer mid-year.
Li Airong took the two files, her gaze narrowing when she saw the history grades.
"This student isn't a transfer student, is she? Shouldn't her grades be included in the academic records?" Li Airong asked, her tone unyielding. "Having someone like her in our class would disrupt the atmosphere, Principal. Are you joking?"
"Li, we have a student present. Please mind your language," the middle-aged man beside her interjected, frowning.
This man was Gao Yang, the homeroom teacher for Class 9.
He knew full well that the girl sitting in the corner was likely to be the student transferring into Yi Zhong.
Speaking so harshly in front of the student would surely make anyone with a shred of decency uncomfortable.
"Teacher Gao, you're in the general class. You might enjoy criticizing, but when she's placed in your class, can you remain so calm? Rather than making comments, perhaps you should focus on how to manage your students and improve your academic results," Li Airong retorted with frustration.
She taught the elite class, where only the top 100 students were selected.
Li Airong aimed to earn the title of Provincial Top Ten Outstanding Teacher next year, with only one slot available in the entire Yun Cheng. Having students who held back the class would damage her resume and increase her risks.
"If she were my student, I'd take responsibility for her," Gao Yang, who was not in favor of treating students differently, responded calmly.
Principal Xu remained seated, silent.
He glanced at the girl sitting in the corner, his gaze asking for her opinion.
Qin Ran lifted her eyes slightly, nodding without a word.
Her demeanor was neither cold nor warm, but her defiant youthfulness was evident in the tilt of her brows, making her seem deceptively composed.
Principal Xu withdrew his gaze.
He adjusted his glasses and gestured for Li Airong to give the documents to Gao Yang. "Teacher Gao, would you be willing to take this student?"
Gao Yang quickly scanned the file, his heart swelling with determination.
He was going to save this lost soul!
Seeing Gao Yang's agreement, Li Airong let out a sigh of relief, as though escaping a near disaster.
Qin Ran picked up her black backpack and followed Gao Yang slowly, her figure tall and slender. When Gao Yang asked her questions, she responded quietly, her voice soft, with a hint of defiance.
What a well-behaved, beautiful student, Gao Yang thought.
Li Airong, who walked ahead, glanced briefly at Qin Ran, then turned her eyes to Gao Yang, sneering, "No wonder Teacher Gao has been teaching for over twenty years and still hasn't progressed."
Gao Yang simply smiled at Qin Ran. "Qin Ran, don't give up. There's still one year left. Anything is possible."
Qin Ran nodded.
Li Airong's sneer only deepened as she turned on her heels, her heels clicking as she left.
"Teacher Li is like that. She teaches English in our class..." Gao Yang frowned but didn't engage with Li Airong, focusing instead on taking Qin Ran to collect her school uniform.
Qin Ran asked him where the school medical office was.
As they walked out, Gao Yang pondered, concerned that her grades were so poor, unsure of where to start.
"Teacher Gao, wait a moment," Principal Xu's voice called from behind the door. He adjusted his glasses. "I have an exam paper here I'd like you to review."
