Strike Back, Proud Goddess!

“Oh?” Director Jiang looked at Ning Ke. He had heard of Ning Ke who was the youngest student in the First High School of City A, so he had a deep impression on this kid. It was surprising that he could even solve these difficult math problems! He walked up to Ning Ke, saying, “Can I see your answer?”

Ning Ke pursed his lips and reluctantly handed his answer to Director Jiang. He actually wanted to show it to Xiao Rou. Although both of them managed to solve the problems, his way of solving these problems was more complicated than Xiao Rou’s, so he wanted to discuss with her about it. To his surprise, however, she recommended him to be the commissary in charge of studies.

Tang Xi didn’t know at all that she was so important to Ning Ke. She just wanted to keep Ning Ke busy so that he didn’t have the time to pester her.

Director Jiang read his answer and smiled. “Your way of solving the problems is the same with mine. It’s amazing. You’re only fourteen years old, but you can already solve these problem in such a short time. How long did it take you to solve them?

Ning Ke frowned and looked at Tang Xi. Although he didn’t count the time, he knew he was a bit slower than Tang Xi. He was about to speak, when his deskmate suddenly said, “It took him eight minutes. I think he is really fast, and he didn’t even draft much. He just drafted over two steps.”

Ning Ke took a look at his deskmate and snorted in his heart. It’s none of your business. But he didn’t speak anything. Director Jiang smiled and said, “You’re really a genius! It only took you several minutes to solve them? I spend quite a while on solving these problems last night.”

Tang Xi was relieved to hear this. She looked at Pu Guoqing and raised her eyebrows as she asked, “Mr. Pu, now do you think Ning Ke is qualified to be the commissary in charge of studies of our class?”

Pu Guoqing nodded. “Okay, from today on, Ning Ke is the commissary in charge of studies of our class. It’s time for class. The next class is English. Now preview the vocabulary. I remember the English teacher said today he would give you an examination of dictation. If he complained to me that you didn’t study hard, you’ll be doomed!”

The wailing sounds rang in the classroom again. A bold boy said, “Mr. Pu, we’re Chinese, not American or British. Why should we study English?Our own language is extensive and profound, with thousands of years of history. Can we refuse to study English?”

Pu Guoqing glared at that boy, saying coldly, “Then can I reject you to take the college entrance exam?”

The boy curled his lips, answering, “I want to be rejected. But I can’t enter a college if I don’t take the exam.”

“Then shut up.” Pu Guoqing banged a book on the table, and said loudly, “Get ready for the English class. Run a lap on the playground for every wrong word. You know, the more mistakes you make, the more laps you have to run understand?”

The students began to wail again. “I’d rather die!”

“Mr. Pu…” Among the wailing sounds, Tang Xi’s clear and cold sound suddenly rang. Mr. Pu paused and suddenly had a hunch that something bad was going to happen. His sense told him to leave the classroom as soon as possible, but his feet stopped. He looked back at Tang Xi, asking, “Anything else?”

Tang Xi nodded and looked serious. “I remember you said you would grant me a request if I win the bet.”

Director Jiang who hadn’t left yet raised his eyebrows and looked at Pu Guoqing. He frowned and asked unhappily, “Did you also join the bet?”

“No.” Tang Xi smiled and explained, “Mr. Pu is the judge. He just agreed that if I won the bet, he would promise me one thing.”

Pu Guoqing laughed awkwardly and looked at Director Jiang. “Well…”

Director Jiang glared at him. “Behave like a teacher, okay?” Then he turned to walk out of the classroom without saying anything.

Seeing Director Jiang leave, Pu Guoqing turned to Tang Xi and asked awkwardly, “What’s your request?”

Tang Xi gave a sly smile as she said, “Nothing serious. I just want to ask for a week’s leave, from this Wednesday to the next Wednesday. Could you agree, Mr. Pu?”

Pu Guoqing’s face darkened when he heard her words. He frowned and asked unhappily, “Why? Why do you ask for leave? And as long as a week??”

Tang Xi blinked, and thought for two second before she said, “You know, I had a car accident and stayed in the hospital for a long time. My brother contacted a foreign hospital for me and will take me for a comprehensive examination. You know, in my family’s eyes, nothing is more important than my health, right?”

“Which country? Pu Guoqing asked with a frown, “Can I contact your family?”

Tang Xi nodded. “Sure, Paris, France. If you don’t believe me, you can also ask my former class master Mr. He. He knew I had a car accident.” she paused and continued, “By the way, my brother contacted the hospital for me. You can just call him. You know my third brother’s phone number, right?” Tang Xi secretly took out her phone to send Xiao Jing a message via WeChat as she said.

‘Jing, it’s up to you whether I can go to Paris to attend the Paris Fashion Week! My teacher will call you in a few seconds. Do please help me! If I successfully get a leave, I will buy you a sports car!’

After sending Xiao Jing the message, she quietly put her phone into her bag. Pu Guoqing hesitated, then found Xiao Jing’s phone number and called him. He cast a suspicious glance at Tang Xi and the latter smiled at him and stood still quietly.

Xiao Jing who was in a meeting, suddenly heard the message prompt sound. He took a look at his phone only to find it was his sister’s message. He was very happy and about to read it, when someone called him. He frowned, picked up the phone and asked, “Who is it?”

Hearing the overbearing tone, Pu Guoqing paused and then said, “Hello, Mr. Xiao. I’m Xiao Rou’s class master. My name is Pu Guoqing.”

Hearing this and thinking of the message that Tang Xi just sent him, Xiao Jing thought Tang Xi must be bullied in school again. He immediately asked angrily, “What happened to my sister? Did anyone bully her? Who did this? A teacher, or a student? Okay, I’m going to the school right now. My sister is in a poor health. If she gets hurt in any way, I swear I’ll…”

“Well, Mr. Xiao, please calm down. I called you not because Xiao Rou was bullied…” But because your sister bullied others!
