Chapter 158: A Special Bet
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The most eye-catching reward was still the one for finding the Shadow Alliance. Three days had passed, but no one had taken the order. The reward had doubled.
Wen Xin logged out of the black net software and sent a message to Chu Yunxuan. [Ask Yan Qing to go to the black net and ask about the post offering a reward for finding the Shadow Alliance. If Truth Listener wants to take this job, is that person willing to place an order?]
Previously, Wen Xin wasn’t very interested in the person who placed the order and hadn’t delved deeply into that person’s information. However, now, seeing how determined the reward poster was, she suddenly became interested. She wondered why the Shadow Alliance warranted this reward.
Chu Yunxuan saw Wen Xin’s message and responded with a string of question marks. She didn’t understand what Wen Xin was trying to do. Having Yan Qing personally involved with the reward poster was unusual.
[Sister, are you too bored? If Yan Qing finds out that you had him do something like this, he’ll definitely complain about how you damaged his image. He’s quite proud of himself, you know.]
[Then let Yan Qing go. It can’t be that I have to go personally, can it? You know that when I get involved, the price isn’t the same anymore.]
Wen Xin’s fingers were typing casually, a faint smile on her lips. In the eyes of her peers in the corridor, she looked mesmerizing.
Zhao Yuyao lightly bumped her arm against Wen Huai, who was standing similarly to Wen Xin’s. He leaned in and whispered in Wen Huai’s ear, “You don’t know, this morning, when Little Auntie came to school, she was acting all lovey-dovey with that guy. They even said I’m a lost cause and that they should get my mom to start practicing on the junior level.”
Wen Huai, who was deep in thought, raised his head and looked at Zhao Yuyao as if he was looking at a fool. He pondered for a moment and slowly spoke.
“This is the first time I think he’s right. We should indeed persuade Auntie Wei to consider having a second child. I don’t know if it’ll be too late in a few years.”
Wen Huai’s was even more sarcastic than Mu Chengxi’s. Zhao Yuyao was initially looking for comfort, but he did not expect to suffer another blow. He carried the snacks in his hand and walked to the back door to squat down in a corner. He decided not to be friends with these bad people. They were all bullying him.
When class ended, Chu Jie walked out of the classroom with her lesson plan in her arms. She looked at the few people in the corridor with disdain and sneered coldly.
“All of you are wasting your time here with your parents’ money. Without you in the classroom, the learning atmosphere of the students is much better. It’s really like a rat’s excrement spoiling a pot of soup.”
After saying that, Chu Jie turned around and left the classroom. Wen Xin put her phone back into her pocket and sneered. “Is the experimental class that awesome? No matter how awesome they are, they can’t beat Wen Huai, right?”
Wen Xin’s voice was neither loud nor soft. Chu Jie, who was walking in front, could hear it very clearly. She held the lesson plan tightly, trying hard to control her emotions.
Wen Huai was the biggest failure she had ever made in her career. She had worked hard for a long time and said a lot of good things. In the end, Wen Huai still chose the worst class, Class Tenty, and he crushed the first place in the experimental class with absolute certainty.
The few people standing with Zhao Yuyao were shocked at first when they heard Wen Xin’s words. Then they burst out laughing. They had never thought that Wen Xin would be so powerful and actually dare to go against Chu Jie. This was something they had thought about for a long time but never dared to do.
“You… you bunch of idiots! All you know is to laugh and do nothing. You’ve taken the bottom ten spots in the grades. You’re the future scum and failures!”
Chu Jie heard the laughter and, finally unable to bear it, she turned around and scolded the group led by Watermelon Head. The laughter of Watermelon Head’s group abruptly stopped, and they lowered their heads, not daring to meet her gaze. After all, ‘Old Witch’ wasn’t a title you could just throw around lightly.
“If they don’t place in the top ten of the grade in this monthly exam, should Ms. Chu apologize for what she just said? Every student is a flower of our motherland. As their gardener, you’re basically snuffing them out. Isn’t that a bit too much?”
Wen Xin’s voice was cold. Hearing Wen Xin’s words, Chu Jie felt an invisible pressure. However, after being a teacher for so many years, based on her understanding of them, even if they were given half a year, they would not be able to get into the top ten of the grade, let alone the monthly test.
“Wen Xin, who do you think you are? You’re not even as good as them, yet you want to speak up for them. What right do you have?”
“I don’t have the right. I’m just someone who dropped out of junior high school and came to Ice City First High School to make a name for myself. I can’t compare to them, but they’re students of Ice City First High School. As a teacher, you can’t look at them through prejudiced glasses. So, if they get into the top ten of the grade, you have to apologize for what you said today.”
Wen Xin’s words were very unyielding. She did not care about Chu Jie’s opinion of her, but she could not slander her classmates.
Looking at Wen Xin’s calm and confident expression, Chu Jie suddenly smiled. She turned around and stood across from Wen Xin, looking at her.
‘ Alright, if they get into the top ten, I’ll apologize to them at the Yearly Meeting. But if they’re still in the bottom ten, then take your things and get out of Ice City High School. No matter what kind of background you have, you’re not allowed to take a step into Ice City High School!”
“Alright, I’ll take this bet. If they don’t get into the top ten of the grade, I’ll leave Ice City No.l Middle School. I hope Teacher Zhu can keep her word!”
The corners of Wen Xin’s lips curled up slightly as she swept her gaze over the six nervous people behind her. The six of them instantly felt as though they were carrying a huge responsibility on their shoulders. Wen Xin’s fate was in their hands.
Seeing Wen Xin agree to the bet, Chu Jie was secretly delighted. She could already see Wen Xin leaving the school in a sorry state, and her mood was very good.
Seeing Chu Jie’s back view as she left, the few people who had been standing in the distance earlier surrounded Wen Xin. Zhao Yuyao was the first to speak.
“Young Aunt, are you using us to help you leave school because you can’t find an excuse not to go to school? Even if you want to leave, you don’t have to do this, right? We’re under a lot of pressure!”
“Who said I wanted to leave? I used my connections to get into Ice City No.l Middle School. My fate is in your hands. Work hard, young man!”
After she finished speaking, Wen Xin smiled at them. Her black eyes were filled with joy, and she seemed to be very happy.
The few people standing in the corridor looked at each other. They did not think that they had gone crazy, but that Wen Xin had gone crazy. She actually dared to bet on their results.
Wen Huai watched as Wen Xin walked into the classroom, then turned his head to look at the six standing at the same spot and looking at each other. He sighed helplessly.
‘ Sigh, it’s not difficult for your grades to improve. If you do more questions in a week, you should be able to get out of the last place. Whether Wen Xin can stay or not depends on you.”
“I’ll tutor you this week. If you have anything you don’t understand, you can ask me. I’ll try my best to answer your questions..”
