Chapter 490: Butterfly Effect
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As a veteran language teacher, would she lose to a little girl?
Although this little girl’s courage was commendable and she did not fear the authority of a senior language teacher, grading essays was subjective.
“Your argument is novel and also currently popular. It has been recently discussed in the newspapers, so it’s obvious that you’re very concerned about current affairs.”
The principal hadn’t read Sheng Yang’s essay but he had taught Chinese before. Just from what Teacher Jiang said, he felt that Sheng Yang’s essay was a rare and good essay.
“But…” Jiang Yuxue changed the topic. “Don’t you think that some of your points are too sharp? The criticism is too strong. It really doesn’t match the current values. ”
“Oh?” Sheng Yang chuckled. “Teacher Jiang, I want to ask you a question, what’s the meaning of a commentary?”
“Of course, it’s something for everyone to discuss.”
“The essence of a discussion is for everyone to share their own opinions and you’re saying that my points are too sharp. That means I’m unique. I’ll take it as you’re praising me.”
“Pfft!” The principal couldn’t hold back his laughter.
Previously, in their school’s debate competition, Teacher Jiang Yuxue would always be able to fend off thousands of arguments by herself. But who would have expected that she would be subdued by a student so easily?
Previously, the principal only thought that Sheng Yang was good at her studies. He didn’t expect her to be so good with words as well.
Jiang Yuxue was naturally unhappy after being defeated again. She had never lost a fight before, but today, she kept losing…
Soon, she started a new topic. However, the moment Jiang Yuxue said something, Sheng Yang would retort without any mercy.
Furthermore… Sheng Yang didn’t even need to think.
Unlike Jiang Yuxue who had to rack her brains to come up with something to say, Sheng Yang was completely at ease.
Jiang Yuxue kept retreating. In the end, she was rendered speechless by Sheng Yang.
Sheng Yang’s expression was calm. “It’s time for you to change your score, right?”
“That’s impossible. Sheng Yang, the scores for the college entrance examination have been settled. When your exam paper was being reviewed by the other teachers, they didn’t say anything. The Education Bureau didn’t say anything either. What right do you have to object?” Jiang Yuxue was so angry that she said exactly what was on her mind.
At this moment, Yi Juncheng stood up and narrowed his eyes. “You mean that because the Education Bureau doesn’t have a problem with it, this matter is settled?”
“… What do you mean?”
“Nothing. Just asking.”
Jiang Yuxue heaved a sigh of relief. She knew that no matter what, Sheng Yang wouldn’t involve the Education Bureau.
The Sheng family had some power, but they could not interfere in this.
In this day and age, those with money still had to accept the decisions made by those with power.
However… while both sides were still in a deadlock, Jiang Yuxue suddenly received a call. “What?”
Her face instantly paled. How could it be so fast? Wasn’t this too terrifying?
The caller was the Education Bureau. They had informed her to review Sheng Yang’s paper. They also found many other teachers who would review the paper too.
If Jiang Yuxue still gave a low score, she would have to justify it to the other teachers for their judgment.
Jiang Yuxue was completely defeated. Even without thinking, she knew that there was no turning back this time.
She stared intently at the two people opposite her who were calm and collected. Only then did she understand that she had provoked someone she shouldn’t have.
Because of the incident with Jiang Yuxue, Sheng Yang’s score was corrected.. Hence, it started a butterfly effect.
