Chapter 252: 252 Smearing South Bridge (Four Updates)

Lin Xiaoyue refused to answer the question, knowing full well that even if she didn’t speak up, someone else would surely do it for her.

At times like this, it’s always much better for someone else to speak up than for oneself.

As expected, the short-haired girl immediately spoke out, "Teacher Lin, the only reason Xiaoyue wants to drop out of the competition is because of her—Chu Jin from Class Ten!"

As she spoke, the short-haired girl pointed at Chu Jin with a tone that was far from kind.

She continued.

"Teacher Lin, you have no idea, Chu Jin is also planning to participate in today’s speech competition. Can you believe that? How could we let a nobody mess with such a prestigious event? It’s like smearing dirt on our school’s face! Moreover, what right does such a person have to compete on the same stage as Xiaoyue? It’s a disrespect to Xiaoyue! Therefore, Xiaoyue kindly advised her to withdraw from the competition, but instead of listening, she retorted with sarcasm towards Xiaoyue! Outraged, Xiaoyue decided to drop out of the competition."

At this, Teacher Lin understood everything.

He was very familiar with Chu Jin. Teachers at South Bridge No.2 Middle School often discussed their students among themselves.

But they only discussed students they were proud of.

A student like Chu Jin was nothing more than a source of jokes after they were well-fed and merry.

An aimless good-for-nothing, a lost cause, lacking ambition—such a student was hard to be liked by any teacher.

Allowing such a waste to participate in this competition was pure farce!

No wonder Lin Xiaoyue felt insulted enough to want out. If it were him, he would feel the same.

A top student and a bottom-feeder like her were simply incomparable.

"Alright, alright, Xiaoyue," Teacher Lin patted Lin Xiaoyue’s shoulder, trying to console her, "Leave it to me to handle this matter."

Lin Xiaoyue let out a sigh and then said, "Since Teacher Lin has spoken, I might as well give face to you."

Humph!

How dare a nobody try to compete with her!

She’s so out of her league!

"Teacher Wu," Teacher Lin raised his eyes to look at Wu Chen, and asked in a calm tone, "Is everything Lin Xiaoyue said true? Has your class really allowed Chu Jin to join this English speech competition?"

Wu Chen calmly nodded, "Yes."

Getting the confirmation, Teacher Lin chuckled, "Wu, oh Wu, you have become quite the muddlehead. How can you take such an important competition so lightly? Find someone else quickly! Stop joking around, I’m telling you, the TV station is here to cover and broadcast the event, this..."

At this point, he glanced thoughtfully at Chu Jin and then continued, "Isn’t this just courting ridicule? Wu, the embarrassment isn’t the big deal, but I’m worried about its impact on your teaching career. After all, with so many VIPs present today, aren’t you deliberately making our school look bad?"

With a side glance at Teacher Lin, Wu Chen spoke with a cool demeanor, "Who participates in the competition is our Class Ten’s business, and there’s no need for you to worry, Teacher Lin."

The refusal was clear.

"Wu," Teacher Lin patted Wu Chen’s shoulder, "That’s not right of you to say. This isn’t just a matter for Class Ten; it’s a concern for the whole South Bridge No.2 Middle School. We have many VIPs and even media at the venue today. If Chu Jin represents, it won’t be just a class; she’ll be representing the whole South Bridge No.2 Middle School!"

Teacher Lin pulled up a chair nearby and added, "Moreover, if your student Chu Jin doesn’t drop out of the competition, our student Lin Xiaoyue will have to withdraw. How would that be okay? Come on, Wu, for my sake, find someone else. This is also for your own good."

Wu Chen was unwavering in his response, "Sorry, Teacher Lin, to speak frankly, our Class Ten specifically needs Chu Jin for today’s competition. Even if you talk until you’re blue in the face, I’m not going to switch her out."

Upon hearing this, Teacher Lin’s expression soured.

He had said everything nice he could think of, yet Wu Chen was being unbelievably obstinate!

He couldn’t fathom what Wu Chen was holding onto so tightly! Did she have something wrong with her brain for letting a waste like that take the stage?

What could such a waste bring to her other than shame?

Glory?

What a joke!

"Teacher Wu," Teacher Lin began somewhat helplessly, "This puts us in a tough spot. If your student Chu Jin doesn’t drop out, our student Lin Xiaoyue will have to... "

Teacher Lin hadn’t even finished his sentence before he was hastily interrupted by Teacher Wu, "What does Lin Xiaoyue dropping out of the competition have to do with me? A person who treats the competition like a game and can talk about quitting so lightly, I think indeed isn’t suited to participate in this competition!"

At this moment, the loudspeaker already announced, "Please welcome participant number 18, Senior Year Class 1’s Wu Yufang, to deliver her speech on stage!"

Sweat nearly burst forth from Teacher Lin’s forehead because Lin Xiaoyue was the 19th participant.

"Teacher Wu, look, it’s almost Lin Xiaoyue’s turn from our class. Could you see your way to helping out by switching someone else in? It just wouldn’t be right if Chu Jin from your class caused a delay for our class’s Lin Xiaoyue, would it? Besides, given Chu Jin’s qualifications, she really isn’t worthy to stand on the same stage to speak as our Lin Xiaoyue!"

Rage burned deep in Teacher Wu’s heart, Lin Xiaoyue was one thing, but he hadn’t expected Lin Heng to also view people with such a shallow perspective!

Decades of reading the works of sages were all in vain!

"I’m sorry," Teacher Wu lifted his eyes to look at Teacher Lin, defending his own fiercely, "Teacher Lin, just as you protect your students, I will also protect mine. I believe in Chu Jin, and she will definitely perform well, so please stop talking about her withdrawing from the competition, because I won’t agree."

Teacher Wu continued, "You don’t need to say anymore, Teacher Lin. Chu Jin is definitely participating in the competition, and moreover, I believe that the outcome she will achieve will certainly be above that of Lin Xiaoyue!" He declared this last sentence with extreme certainty.

Hearing this, Teacher Lin sneered, "Above Lin Xiaoyue? Oh Teacher Wu, you must be dreaming! Where do you get such confidence? What can such a person bring to you? I think you really are bewitched!"

What wild fantasies to entertain, for a piece of trash that doesn’t even recognize the 26 letters of the alphabet to make such grand claims!

Teacher Wu also laughed, "Then let’s just wait and see."

Upon hearing this, Teacher Lin laughed even more joyously, "Don’t even mention surpassing Lin Xiaoyue. If Chu Jin from your class manages to place in the competition, I will treat the entire school to a month of free lunches!"

"Do you really mean what you say?" Teacher Wu lifted his eyes to look at Teacher Lin.

Teacher Lin puffed out his chest, "Of course, I mean it!"

Just then, Lin Xiaoyue stepped forward, looking coldly at Chu Jin, with undisguised disdain and revulsion in her eyes, thinking that trash dared to imagine winning against her, even entertaining the thought of sharing a stage with her!

How shameless!

"Chu Jin, an intelligent person knows the current situation. Today, I’ll give you some free advice, ’One should know oneself.’ If you don’t withdraw from the competition today, I won’t participate either. You’d better weigh that carefully!"

"How coincidental," Chu Jin also lifted her gaze to meet Lin Xiaoyue’s, the chill in her eyes intensifying as her dimples deepened, "I had the very same piece of advice for you— ’One should know oneself.’ Whether I participate in the competition or not has nothing to do with you. Have you even considered your own status before trying to use that as a threat against me? Do you think you’re a crab, able to walk sideways?"

She wouldn’t withdraw from the competition!

Is that infuriating or what!

"You!" Lin Xiaoyue pointed furiously at Chu Jin, quaking with anger, "You, you, you, you!"

Lin Xiaoyue trembled with rage, while Chu Jin’s smile was one of unbridled glee, "Don’t be angry, don’t be angry; rage harms the liver. Besides, even if you die of anger here today, I won’t withdraw from the competition. See, if you die just because of this, wouldn’t that be such a loss?"

She exuded an air of arrogance.

It wasn’t just Lin Xiaoyue who was fuming, even Teacher Lin felt enraged. This piece of trash was far too arrogant! To speak to their class’s top student with such audacity!

That was no demeanor for a piece of trash to have.

In the past, this piece of trash didn’t even dare to glance at him, couldn’t even speak coherently, but now had become so eloquent!

"Teacher Wu, since there’s still some time, let’s go over and rehearse a bit," Chu Jin picked up her speech notes and stood up.

"Alright, let’s go over there, it’s quieter," Teacher Wu followed Chu Jin, and the two made their way to the side.

Completely ignoring Teacher Lin and Lin Xiaoyue.

The two who were overlooked trembled with indignation.

Lin Xiaoyue hadn’t anticipated things would turn out like this. Wu Chen had truly disappointed her!

She had actually chosen a no-hoper over her!

This person, how did she even become a teacher! She’s totally unfit to act as a role model.

At that moment, the loudspeaker announced, "Please welcome participant number 19, Senior Year Class 3’s Lin Xiaoyue, to deliver her speech on stage!"
