Chapter 64: Dismissal

“Whether you can participate or not will definitely depend on your results in the end. However, you can participate in our school’s preliminaries. If you pass the average score and get into the top three, you can participate.”

Cheng Ling shook her head. She was not interested in this, and her original intention was also not to participate.

“My academic results are so bad. It’s not like you don’t know, Teacher Sun. I don’t want to embarrass myself.”

Zheng Tian, who was sitting on the chair, listened to the conversation between the two of them. At this time, she also interrupted.

“Yes, Teacher Sun. You may not have noticed her. Cheng Ling never spoke when she was in class one. During class, she always read some idle books. Why did you think of letting her participate in the competition? Wouldn’t that bring shame to our school?”

Cheng Ling didn’t care about the sarcasm in Zheng Tian’s words. She just bowed slightly to Sun Qi.

“Teacher, if you have nothing else to say, then I’ll make a move first.”

Sun Qi knew Cheng Ling’s character, and knew that he couldn’t force her.

Seeing that Cheng Ling didn’t agree, he didn’t give up. He just thought that today wasn’t a good time.

Sun Qi nodded.

“Then you go back first, but also think about what I said today. This is a very good opportunity, you know that.”

After leaving Sun Qi’s office, Cheng Ling didn’t go to the cafeteria. Instead, she went straight to the principal’s office, wanting to ask about Chen Min.

As she was worried that the principal wouldn’t be around during lunch break, she quickened her pace.

Fortunately, he was still in the office.

Cheng Ling knocked on the door.

The principal, who had been writing on the desk in front of him, looked up and was surprised to see Cheng Ling.

He let Cheng Ling in.

Having been a principal for more than 20 years, he was not sure how to face Cheng Ling.

Rightfully speaking, it was her fault that Cheng Ling got into a fight, but Old Master Ding seemed to be very protective of her.

“Cheng Ling, what’s the matter?”

“If you’re here for yesterday’s matter, then don’t worry. The school won’t expel you. Old Master Ding had chosen to settle this matter.”

Cheng Ling shook her head. “I’m not here for this matter. I want to ask where our class teacher, Chen Min, went.”

“Chen Min.” The principal put down the pen in his hand and looked at Cheng Ling.

“Although Old Master Ding won’t pursue the matter, our school still has to do some clean, right? You and Ding Yu fought in public and it was even uploaded to the forum. This has a great impact on the school’s reputation. As the class teacher of your class, Chen Min naturally has to be held responsible.”

As expected, it was because of this matter.

Cheng Ling’s hands by her side tightened and clenched into fists.

She had always liked to do things by herself. She did not like to implicate others.

Moreover, Chen Min was a good teacher.

“Chen Min is completely unaware of this matter. What reason does the school have to fire her?”

“What reason? It was because they did not discipline the students well. Although you and Ding Yu were separate individuals, they also belonged to class 10 as a group. As the class teacher of Class 10, even if Chen Min doesn’t know anything about this, she still has to bear this responsibility.”

Cheng Ling lowered her head and didn’t say anything else.

She knew that what the principal said was right.

Yuya First High school was a hundred-year-old school. It had always been reputable and prestigious.

This fight had already spread to the internet. The school probably needed to find someone to take the blame.

But Chen Min, who had no support, became the scapegoat.

After leaving the principal’s office, Cheng Ling did not go to the cafeteria. She felt that she had no appetite now.

The students had all gone to eat, so the entire teaching building was empty now. She walked slowly along the corridor.

This was the first time since the start of school that she could walk so quietly. Usually, there would always be people pointing at her.

When she walked to the bulletin board on the first floor, Cheng Ling saw a very big poster. On it was the registration method and time for the physics competition. The selection competition for Yuya First High School would be held next Friday from two o’clock to five o’clock in the small auditorium.

Cheng Ling stood quietly in front of the bulletin board for a while before returning to class.

The afternoon classes were very quiet. Cheng Ling was not doing her own things, and of course, she was also not listening to the class.

Chen Min’s matter made her a little upset.

The bell for the end of the last class rang as scheduled.

She carried her backpack and picked up the bag of vegetables hanging on the table. She waited for Gao Ting to leave the classroom for half an hour before she set off.
