Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 16 Accepting Your Child's Mediocrity

Lin Yuan picked up the red envelope and walked out of the office and into the corridor.

"Mother Yan Ziyou, what are you doing?"

Lin Yuan frowned, his tone full of disappointment.

The loud voice echoed in the corridor, attracting the attention of teachers in other offices.

Parents who came to do business or pick up their children were also attracted by the sudden noise, and moved towards the corridor with confusion and curiosity.

There was a flash of astonishment and panic in Tian Yulan's eyes, and her originally smiling expression instantly became dim. Lin Yuan's sudden action caught her off guard.

Seeing a lot of people suddenly gathered outside the corridor, Tian Yulan didn't dare to come out to face everyone's scrutiny for a moment.

However, Lin Yuan would not let her go so easily.

Aren’t you, Tian Yulan, thick-skinned?

After reporting someone else's boyfriend to the Education Bureau, she still had the audacity to go to the other person's house and ask for mercy.

This is really not something that ordinary people can do.

It was because Zhang Xueer he met was a "saint" and she came to Lin Yuan foolishly to plead for mercy.

Whenever I meet a normal person, I don't bother to pay attention to her.

"You are bribing the teacher again!" Lin Yuan's voice did not drop at all, his eyes were full of seriousness and anger, and he scolded loudly: "Could it be that in the eyes of you, a parent, our teacher only cares about money? Take your money and leave here."

His tone was filled with grief.

Other people around were also pointing and talking, their eyes focused on Tian Yulan. They were whispering to each other, and the discussions were one after another.

Tian Yulan bit her lip, hatred flashed in her eyes, she walked out, grabbed the red envelope from Lin Yuan's hand, and said hatefully: "I was wrong this time. I admire Teacher Zhong's integrity. But wasn't it because I reported you to the Education Bureau that you were expelled from Fengfan Primary School? If you have anything to say, come to me. How unmanly of you to bully a child?"

"Oh?" Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked with a hint of doubt in his tone, "Then tell me, how did I bully your child?"

Tian Yulan was not convinced and said loudly, "Any qualified teacher would not reject outstanding students! Our Yan Ziyou has won a lot of awards in various cup competitions, and he even won first place in the class last semester. Now you don't let him enter the gold medal class, don't you have a prejudice against him?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

"why are you laughing?"

Tian Yulan didn't understand.

Lin Yuan asked calmly, "Do you know how many points your Yan Ziyou got in the exam this time?"

"Ninety-four, what's wrong?"

Tian Yulan was slightly puzzled and didn't understand why Lin Yuan brought this up.

Lin Yuan's voice remained calm: "The first place winner, Mi Tao, scored 100 points."

Tian Yulan was slightly startled, then said stubbornly, "What if it's 100 points? It's only 6 points short, I'll catch up soon."

"You can't catch up." Lin Yuan's voice was filled with unquestionable certainty. "Mi Tao scored 100 points, that's because the test paper is only worth 100 points; your child scored 94 points, that's because his ability is only 94 points."

"You're talking nonsense!" Tian Yulan's eyes were wide open with flames of anger burning in them.

"You know whether it's nonsense or not." Lin Yuan sneered, and that cold smile seemed to mock Tian Yulan's self-deception, and continued to taunt:
"Your child has been taking extra classes for Olympiad mathematics since the first grade, and has been supported by tutoring classes all the way. How much precious educational resources has been used? Mi Tao has never touched Olympiad mathematics, this is what we call true excellence. Mathematical thinking requires talent, and your child is not good at all. The examination selection is fair and just. Your child's grades are poor, so I will not accept him no matter how much money you give me."

Tian Yulan was so angry that she was shaking all over, her face turned red, and her eyes were fixed on Lin Yuan.

"Are you an education expert? You are just an elementary school teacher, not a university professor. What right do you have to make conclusions for our children?"

"Yan Ziyou's mother, my advice to you is to learn to accept your child's mediocrity. If you can't get into the gold medal class, look for the reasons in yourself."

Lin Yuan had a hint of sarcasm on his face. He slowly took a step forward, lowered his head slightly, and said in a voice that only Tian Yulan could hear clearly:

"Let me say one more thing. You are just like this yourself. Why do you expect your children to excel?"

Lin Yuan's words were like a sharp blade, piercing Tian Yulan's heart.

Tian Yulan was so angry that she was shaking all over, and her voice became sharp and piercing: "You, you, you, you are irresponsible for saying this, you are not worthy of being a teacher at all."

The corners of Lin Yuan's mouth rose slightly, and the sarcasm in his expression became stronger.

"Yes, yes, you deserve it, you deserve it, you deserve it the most."

After saying that, Lin Yuan was too lazy to deal with this crazy woman anymore. He went straight back to his office and closed the door.

Tian Yulan was left alone in the corridor, facing everyone's scrutiny.

The people around were either whispering or giving her strange looks, and those looks were like sharp swords piercing Tian Yulan.

Under the gaze of everyone, she felt like she was stripped naked, so she had to leave with her head down in shame.

…………

It was just five o'clock in the afternoon when Zhang Xueer got off work. Because she was thinking about Lin Yuan, she simply came directly to Zeshu, thinking of having dinner with Lin Yuan before going back to her own home.

The two of them walked out of the door of Zeshu, holding each other's arms. Zhang Xueer was puzzled and said suspiciously in a low voice:

"Why were those parents over there staring at us?"

"Maybe I'm too handsome."

"Stop it."

Zhang Xueer curled her lips slightly and said coquettishly.

In her opinion, with Lin Yuan's good looks, it is not a problem for him to attract some young girls and young women. After all, Lin Yuan does have an eye-catching appearance.

But it would be a bit too exaggerated if even middle-aged men were attracted by his appearance.

Lin Yuan told what happened in the afternoon: "Today, Yan Ziyou's mother came to Zeshu and made a scene, but I fought back."

"Ah?" Zhang Xueer's eyes widened in surprise. "Why did she make such a fuss?"

After all, in her impression, Tian Yulan was a relatively decent woman.

She also couldn't imagine what Tian Yulan looked like when she was hysterical.

Lin Yuan looked like a victim, and said with a bit of helplessness in his tone: "First, she stuffed red envelopes into my pocket without any explanation, and when I refused, she started to make a scene, saying that I lost my job because she reported me, so she targeted her child, that I was taking revenge, that my teacher ethics were corrupt, that I was not worthy of being a teacher, and so on and so forth."

Zhang Xueer felt dissatisfied after hearing Lin Yuan's words. Her face turned ugly and she said, "How could she be like this? This is your workplace after all."
