Rebirth: I Am Not the Movie Queen This Time-Chapter 56 Disposal

Teacher Zhu’s face also turned cold, and he said, "Teacher Li, I think the instigator Zhuo Yao should be the one to be expelled from school.

Zhuo Yao is scheming, designs plots against classmates, and sets up outstanding students. Such a harmful person indeed needs to be dealt with properly.

Also, that student Peng Yue, who instead of studying hard, writes love letters to Zhuo Yao, should have his parents called in."

His own students, his own responsibility to protect, especially since they are top students.

"What did you say?" The bearded Teacher Li, not expecting the young Teacher Zhu to confront him, asked again, "Teacher Zhu, are you serious?"

"Teacher Li, I am not joking, I think next time this issue comes up, we should bring both Zhuo Yao and Peng Yue here to confront the matter together," Teacher Zhu said with righteousness.

Teacher Li sneered, pointing to Wan Chu’er standing by, and said, "Is it worth it for such a student?"

Meaning, are you, a teacher who has only been here for two years and has not yet established a firm footing, really planning to confront me, a core member of this school?

Teacher Zhu confidently said, "It’s worth it, she is my student, and I do not believe that my student has done anything wrong."

Soon, the two head teachers started arguing, and the other teachers in the office intervened, trying to mediate.

In the end, Teacher Li angrily stormed out.

Teacher Zhu calmed his emotions and turned to Wan Chu’er, saying, "Wan Chu’er, let’s not talk about this incident anymore, but if something similar happens in the future, I hope you will tell me in advance."

Wan Chu’er, not ungrateful, immediately nodded after her young homeroom teacher and a core school teacher had just argued over her:

"Thank you, Teacher Zhu. It won’t happen again."

Feeling somewhat guilty for adding trouble to someone who genuinely cared for her, Wan Chu’er felt a bit remorseful.

Teacher Zhu nodded and said, "Don’t worry, this time the fault was not yours, I will definitely fight for you until the end. Now go back and focus on your studies."

Wan Chu’er did not doubt Teacher Zhu’s words, as he had just fought a battle for her.

She felt somewhat touched, never having expected Teacher Zhu to go to such lengths for her, thought about it seriously and said,

"Teacher Zhu, I’m sorry for causing you trouble this time. I will study hard and aim to rank within the top fifteen in the class by the final exams."

Teacher Zhu couldn’t help but smile and said, "I believe in your ability; don’t put too much pressure on yourself, just do your best."

In the grade, advancing thirteen ranks in two months, Teacher Zhu felt was unlikely.

Wan Chu’er nodded, said nothing more, just bowed to Teacher Zhu and then left the office.

The next day, in the principal’s office, Teacher Zhu and Teacher Li had another argument.

In the end, the principal made a decision, Wan Chu’er and Zhuo Yao each received a warning, while Peng Yue received a more severe reprimand.

Actually, in this matter, Peng Yue’s fault should have been the lightest, but since both Wan Chu’er and Zhuo Yao were top students in the class, they naturally had two head teachers vigorously defending them, while mediocre student Peng Yue had no one to speak for him.

It seemed that Zhuo Yao and Wan Chu’er received the same punishment, but the treatment they got from their classmates was not the same.

For Zhuo Yao, the fall from Goddess to the dust was something many ordinary students enjoyed seeing. Everyone began pointing fingers and even ridiculing her openly.

As for Wan Chu’er, after witnessing her ferocity and her usual icy demeanor, not many dared to provoke her.

Afterwards, Teacher Zhu told Wan Chu’er about the school’s decision-making process in detail, feeling that Wan Chu’er was not like other students and that knowing these things would be better for her.

Wan Chu’er once again thanked Teacher Zhu for her support, and felt a certain level of agitation inside. Previously, she had publicly stated that her motivation to move forward was: "Fall behind and you’ll get beaten."

Now it seems, this saying does indeed hold some truth.

If it weren’t for her good grades, Teacher Zhu might not have protected her, and the principal might not have been lenient.

What if she were the top student of the second year? Perhaps, without Teacher Zhu’s protection, Teacher Li wouldn’t dare to come after her.

Affecting the top among the school’s top students, even if he stood firm, he couldn’t withstand the blame from the school leaders.

Since then, Wan Chu’er studied even harder.

She completed set after set of exam papers, filled notebook after notebook, and flipped through textbooks until they were nearly worn out.

Bai Zhixi saw her daughter, from morning to night, always murmuring non-stop; if not reading, then doing calculations.

As a mother, seeing her child work so hard made her for the first time consider telling her daughter not to overexert.

Yet Wan Chu’er said with a smile, "Didn’t you tell me before ’One who does not work in youth will grieve in vain in old age’? I only need to work hard for these couple of years, after this period it’ll get better.

Besides, it’s not like I’m only immersed in studying all day. Besides studying, I run for half an hour and practice boxing for half an hour every morning. On Sundays, I spend two hours studying Martial Arts with Teacher An.

This is my way of balancing work and rest, so you need not worry."

Bai Zhixi thought about it and said no more, only varying the delicious food she made for her daughter, generously providing all sorts of fruits and meats, keeping their home well-stocked.

Now the pickled vegetable business was doing better and better. Previously, the bottled pickles, through Bai Zhixi’s efforts, entered several small stores, and the income was better than before.

An Lian often came over; whenever he had the time, he would come to the Wan Family, not saying much, just tirelessly working.

Bai Zhixi thought that this was not a solution, and decisively hired someone to help deliver pickles to various restaurants and stores, which greatly eased her burden.

An Lian was not dense; he quickly understood Bai Zhixi’s intentions and significantly reduced his visits, focusing more on teaching Wan Chu’er Martial Arts.

Wan Chu’er knew this and, without saying anything, treated An Lian with more courtesy and politeness whenever she went to learn Martial Arts from him.

Time passed quickly, and in the monthly test following the midterm exams, Wan Chu’er’s scores were the second-highest in her class 2–4.

In the final exams, her scores jumped to the top of her class and eighth in her grade.

Wan Chu’er’s progress greatly delighted Teacher Zhu, who felt that her past efforts advocating for Wan Chu’er were not in vain, and henceforth treated her even better, almost granting every wish and actively offering the best resources in the class to her.

Meanwhile, Zhuo Yao of class 2-1 wasn’t as happy; affected by the love letter incident over the past two months, her academic performance was unstable, and her final exam scores dropped to ninety-eighth in her grade, causing her homeroom teacher, Teacher Li, to sigh deeply for days.
