Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 509 - 509 504 Dont Lift a Rock Only to Drop It on

Chapter 509: Chapter 504: Don’t Lift a Rock Only to Drop It on Your Own Feet Chapter 509: Chapter 504: Don’t Lift a Rock Only to Drop It on Your Own Feet On the other side, Qi Lihong, after returning to the dorm, swept a glance at Zhang Ting’s bed with the corner of her eye.

Because she had lost face in class that afternoon, once she returned to the dorm, she packed up everything her little boyfriend—oh no, now her ex-boyfriend—had given her and sent it all back to him in a fit of rage.

After that, she ran out and didn’t come back until after eight o’clock at night, then went to bed and covered her head with her blanket after washing up.

Qi Lihong sat back at her own desk, pulled open a drawer, took out a notebook, and flipped it open to the page holding the pregnancy test result.

She had been careless and overestimated human nature…

Clutching the pregnancy test in her hand, Lihong put the notebook back in the drawer, then got up and went to the restroom.

Soon, the sound of the toilet flushing could be heard from inside.

The next morning, Teacher Chi Zuo had a class meeting scheduled for everyone.

As graduation approached, except for a few individuals, the whole class was actually quite united. Students who had conflicts before would bury the hatchet with a smile, exchange contact information, and apologize to each other.

Some of the more emotional girls even burst into tears, and once the sadness of parting unleashed, everyone looked at each other as if they were family.

There were quite a few gift exchanges, and Jiang Yan received a whole bunch. Among them, someone reminded him when giving their gift, “Class president, my computer is at least 70% new, could you take it off my hands for an 80% price?”

“President, I don’t need an 80% offer, I bought it for five thousand, you can have it for three thousand.”

“I’ll take two thousand, let Dai Lei come and pick it up.”

…

In the bustling noise, Teacher Chi Zuo finished the class meeting and asked Zhang Ting to stay behind.

Jiang Yan closed the front and back doors of the classroom, then turned around to sit diagonally across from Zhang Ting, with Chi Zuo directly opposite her.

Zhang Ting looked at Chi Zuo, then turned to Jiang Yan. Honestly, she wasn’t afraid to face Chi Zuo alone, and she had even been prepared to be called in for a talk by him.

After all, whether he admitted it or not, Chi Zuo couldn’t do anything to her.

What’s more, they were about to graduate, and it was uncertain whether she would ever see this counselor again, which was why she had taken the plunge and reported Qi Lihong.

Didn’t she know?

The whole class and even the department were now discussing and laughing at her, saying she was an older woman chasing a younger man, and ended up being played for a fool in the end!

They’re all laughing at her, huh?

Fine then, she’ll give them an even more sensational and exciting piece of news!

Yet, even though she had impulsively gone to the academic office with those thoughts, she felt a bit of regret and fear afterwards.

After all, Liu Wenhui that bastard was capable of anything, and even Jiang Yan usually protected Qi Lihong.

So now, facing Jiang Yan, or rather, whenever facing this class president, she always felt inexplicably more pressured than with Chi Zuo!

Zhang Ting awkwardly twitched the corner of her mouth and took the initiative to speak, “Chi, Teacher Chi, what did you want to see me for?”

“Zhang Ting, with graduation imminent, can you share what’s on your mind with me?”

“Ah?”

Zhang Ting looked slightly bewildered at Chi Zuo, how come this was different from what she had anticipated?

Thoughts? What thoughts?

All she was waiting for now was to hurriedly leave and go to work at her company, finding a job was never a concern for graduates from their school, as she had already signed a contract with a big company in Haishi during her internship.

She was just waiting to receive her diploma to officially start working there.

“Mr. Chi, I don’t quite understand what you mean.”

Zhang Ting pondered for a moment, then decided to let Chi Zuo take the initiative. However, her eyes only focused on Chi Zuo and she didn’t dare to glance over at Jiang Yan.

“I don’t mean anything else. As your counselor, I just want to tell you that no matter what company you enter, what circles you join, or what position you rise to, university will be the most beautiful and unforgettable memory of your life. Maybe you don’t understand now, but in the future you’ll realize that college friends are completely different from your high school friends, and the colleagues and friends you’ll meet in society later on. In the last few days that I can be your counselor, I hope you’ll think carefully about anything you do, so you won’t look back with regret and let it become a lifelong regret.”

For students like Zhang Ting, even though Chi Zuo didn’t like them, as a teacher, he still needed to make sure they understood the lessons and advice that needed to be given. If they could take it in, then the issues could be resolved amicably.

If not, I’m sorry, but you can’t blame me for not being polite.

Whether Qi Lihong is pregnant or not, the rumors you spread about others can’t stand up to scrutiny, and this is very easy for the education department to investigate.

Once the investigation is clear, even if they find out Qi Lihong is indeed pregnant, a student with both good moral character and academic performance can be given some leeway, especially since the state has become more lenient about university students getting pregnant and having children than it used to be.

On the other hand, Zhang Ting…

Slandering a classmate could definitely merit a record in her file.

These were all new pieces of information Chi Zuo had learned after consulting with his colleagues again today, so now he wasn’t as anxious about this matter as he was last night.

Having said his piece and seeing Zhang Ting hanging her head in silence, Chi Zuo did not continue. He waited for her to think it over and respond.

But Jiang Yan was getting impatient. They were all adults in their twenties—if someone could take advice to heart, a hint was usually enough. If not, no amount of talking would help.

He turned to glance at Mr. Chi, then gave Zhang Ting a dose of harsh reality, “There are no secrets in this world. Do you think your report against Qi Lihong is unknown to others? Let’s not talk about how Qi Lihong will be affected, but our entire class, even the whole department, will know that you stabbed a classmate in the back right before graduation. Think about it, who would dare to associate with you after that?”

Zhang Ting’s face went pale instantly. Honestly, going to report had been a spur-of-the-moment decision. She only thought about Qi Lihong being looked at differently, which would take attention away from her own embarrassing situation. But she had overlooked the point Jiang Yan just made.

Plus, Liu Wenhui definitely wouldn’t let her off either.

“Zhang Ting, you’re graduating in a few days. I don’t want you to shoot yourself in the foot. Let me be honest with you, although it’s not official policy, many universities have tacitly agreed that it’s okay for college students to get pregnant and have children. In this situation, even if Qi Lihong really is pregnant, nothing much would happen to her. On the other hand, do you really want to be looked at differently by your classmates?”

After Chi Zuo finished speaking, Jiang Yan stood up from his seat. He had to go to the graduate school to see Jiajia at noon and had no time to linger here.

Just before leaving, Chi Zuo called out to him, “Keep an eye on Liu Wenhui, and don’t let him cause trouble.”

Zhang Ting looked utterly troubled, her face even whiter.

Jiang Yan agreed with a hum, then gave her a dismissive glance, thinking to himself that Chi was really cunning, delivering this final blow to Zhang Ting. Now she had to agree, whether she liked it or not.

After all, in their class, the rowdy Liu Wenhui was only wary of him; he wouldn’t take anyone else seriously.

That afternoon at three o’clock, Chi Zuo called Jiang Yan to tell him the matter had been resolved. Zhang Ting had gone to the education department to withdraw her report, admitting that she had slandered her classmate out of jealousy…
