Chapter 92: Chapter 92 Bias

The principal arrived quickly, probably having heard from Su Xiaohong about the two teachers fighting over the lesson. He looked very displeased, and as soon as he entered the classroom, seeing Li Qiumei sitting there like some big boss, his face grew even darker.

"Whose lesson is this?"

Chen Jie turned around, just about to answer, when Li Qiumei stood up and spoke before him, "Principal, it’s Mr. Chen’s lesson."

The principal frowned and scolded, "If it’s his lesson, what are you doing here?"

The exams are close, and every minute is precious. Don’t you know that after being a teacher for so many years?

Now, causing such a scene in front of dozens of students, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at? This is essentially leading the students in a quarrel.

Li Qiumei’s previously proud demeanor changed to one of grievance as she said, "Principal, I know it’s Mr. Chen’s lesson, but I have a very important problem that I haven’t finished explaining. I wanted to use a few minutes of Mr. Chen’s time."

"If that’s not possible, I could swap a lesson with him. After all, I spent a long time painstakingly writing the problem on the blackboard. If I don’t finish it, writing it again next time would waste time. But Mr. Chen wasn’t willing. As soon as he came in, he erased the problem I had written."

Chen Jie’s previously calm expression instantly became angry. He hadn’t expected Li Qiumei to twist the truth in front of him and so many students.

Is this the behavior expected of a teacher?

So shameless, he was infuriated, his face turning bright red, "Ms. Li, in front of so many students, you’re twisting the truth. How do you expect the students to look at you?"

"What do you mean, twisting the truth?" Li Qiumei challenged, "Did I not say that I didn’t finish my lesson, did I not suggest swapping lessons with you?"

"You..."

But Chen Jie, after all, was too young, and Li Qiumei’s shameless challenge left him momentarily unsure of how to retort.

After a long pause, he managed to say, "You did say so, but your previous intention clearly wasn’t that."

Such an explanation seemed weak.

The principal’s face was also very displeased. Over such a small matter, if either one had stepped back, it would have passed, but instead, it escalated to red faces and thick necks, making a spectacle for the students.

Especially Chen Jie, who usually seemed so sensible, how could he become so stubborn in this matter?

Wouldn’t the issue be resolved if he just yielded to his senior?

Li Qiumei was somewhat more troublesome than Chen Jie, and the principal also sided with her perspective, so to calm things down, he reprimanded Chen Jie with a few words.

"Mr. Chen, you both teach Class Three, you’re both working for the same group of students. Sometimes, you should be more open-minded."

"..."

Chen Jie, his face turning ashen with anger, was at a loss for words. It was the first time everyone had seen him like this — he was usually amiable and humorous.

It was clear that Chen Jie was truly very angry.

His anger was not just because Li Qiumei had twisted the truth, but more so because he couldn’t accept that a people’s teacher would lie in front of students.

Now the principal seemed to believe Li Qiumei’s words, as if anything he might say would be futile.

Li Qiumei looked at Chen Jie triumphantly, thinking to herself that he was still too green to compete with her.

"Principal, about this lesson?"

Principal: "..."

Li Qiumei’s problem had already been erased, and Chen Jie’s was only half-written. Although Chen Jie wasn’t as accommodating, after all, it was his lesson. But if Chen Jie were to continue the class, it would snub Li Qiumei’s face.

For a moment, the principal found himself in a difficult position.

Seeing the principal hesitate, Li Qiumei quickly spoke up, "Principal, based on my experience, I predict that this year’s language test will definitely be harder than last year’s. If I don’t take the time to give the students extra lessons, the results for the language exam will surely be unsatisfactory."

Hearing this, the principal looked towards Chen Jie: "Mr. Chen..."
