Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Competing for a Course 2

"Am I not just borrowing one of your classes?" Li Qiumei didn’t think she had done anything wrong at all, "At worst, I can swap a class with you."

Now she was claiming it first, whether she would actually swap later on was another matter.

Chen Jie, looking sternly at a few students who had just returned from the restroom, said, "Teacher Li, I hope you don’t waste our class time."

A class is only forty minutes long, precious indeed. With one extra problem explained, it’s possible the students could score a few more points.

Being watched by so many students, Li Qiumei felt embarrassed and her anger surged. Chen Jie was less and less respectful towards her.

Li Qiumei decided to give Chen Jie a lesson to show him who had the real authority in this class. "Su Xiaohong, go call the principal," she said proudly, glancing at Chen Jie afterward.

Having taught at the school for so many years and having some kinship with the principal—though a distant one—she was certainly in a better position than Chen Jie. The principal would surely side with her.

"..."

Su Xiaohong looked at Li Qiumei, then at Chen Jie, almost about to cry. Calling the principal would mean offending Teacher Chen.

Not calling the principal would mean offending Teacher Li. With so many people in the class, why was it her who was asked to go?

After waiting a moment and seeing Su Xiaohong had not moved, Li Qiumei asked sharply, "Su Xiaohong, didn’t you hear me speak?"

Scared, Su Xiaohong shivered and awkwardly stood up, throwing Chen Jie an uneasy glance.

Li Qiumei thought Chen Jie was surely a bit scared and decided to give him a way out. "Teacher Chen, this isn’t really such a big issue. If you’re willing to swap classes now, we won’t need to call the principal. He’s quite busy lately; it’s better not to disturb him if we can avoid it."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaohong immediately stopped in her tracks.

"Go call the principal," said Chen Jie, this time.

With both teachers now asking for the principal, Su Xiaohong lost her hesitation and ran off swiftly.

Refusing a face-saving way out?

"Teacher Chen, you insist on inviting the principal over, huh?" Li Qiumei’s face couldn’t get any uglier. How dare he confront her so boldly, not giving her, a senior, any respect.

"It’s your actions that make the principal’s visit unavoidable," replied Chen Jie.

"You..."

Li Qiumei was so angry she couldn’t finish her sentence. True, she had taken the class first, but she did it to teach the students. She couldn’t believe the principal wouldn’t support her.

Just you wait.

Snorting, she sat down to wait for the principal.

Chen Jie ignored her, put the chalk box down, picked up the eraser, and began to wipe the words off the blackboard, making Li Qiumei’s eyes nearly bulge out. Yet Chen Jie just carried on and started writing math problems on his own.

"Teacher Chen’s got guts, taking a stand against Li Qiumei."

Lu Siyuan had been indifferent towards Chen Jie before; the girls might worship him, but as a guy, he certainly didn’t. But now, he suddenly felt that Chen Jie had some backbone, not intimidated by Li Qiumei.

Shen Mianmian wasn’t surprised by Chen Jie standing up to Li Qiumei. She had noticed it in the office last time; Chen Jie wasn’t afraid of Li Qiumei, he respected her as a senior.

But if Li Qiumei loses her dignity, Chen Jie isn’t one to be trifled with.

"Who do you think will win this round?"

With a sneer, Lu Siyuan replied, "The principal isn’t senile."

Li Qiumei was wrong for taking the class in the first place; mathematics is also a core subject, and there’s no reason she should have to make way for her.

Plainly speaking, Li Qiumei is just too arrogant, spoiled by previous indulgences.

Mianmian laughed, "Our Teacher Li is not only good at teaching, but her acting skills are quite decent too." She had potential for a drama.
