Chapter 94

Entering the Classroom

There were paper signs with students' names on every corner of the desks.

"Here it is."

He found Raina Nan's seat in the fourth row by the window.

The desk was neatly organized, and all her books were placed in the drawer.

He took out a textbook and flipped through it casually.

There were some notes on it, and he recognized her handwriting. It was neat and tidy, just like the impression she gave at school.

"Feng, my brother, Feng, my brother."

He turned around and realized that Tong Dongcheng was sitting behind him.

His huge figure curled up in the chair, giving a strange sense of incongruity.

"So, we're neighbors, fate, fate~"

"Hehe, yeah..."

"Quiet, it's about to start."

At that moment, the person sitting to the right of Samson Nan across the aisle spoke.

"..."

He paused for a moment, only to realize that it was Mr. Lin.

Lin Ruoxiao was standing at the back of the classroom.

Since it was the last parent meeting, many parents came together. One person sat in the front, and the other stood at the back of the classroom to listen.

"Who is this old man with the cigarette pack? Do you know him?"

Tong Dongcheng whispered behind him.

"Lower your voice..."

It's me who will suffer if someone hears it...

Sitting to his right and to his back were two dangerous characters. It's hard to have a good meeting like this.

"We've been waiting for you all."

At this time, William Wei walked into the classroom with a stack of documents.

The classroom also quieted down.

"First of all, I'd like to thank all the parents for taking the time to come to this parent meeting."

As he spoke, he wrote his name and phone number on the blackboard.

"Let me introduce myself. I am William Wei, the homeroom teacher of this class. This is my phone number. In this final year, I hope to strengthen communication with all the parents. In terms of helping the children succeed, I believe our school and the parents have the same goal. So, please feel free to contact me if you have any suggestions or opinions."

Hmm... This William Wei is quite capable, he looks like a real homeroom teacher now.

Samson Nan couldn't help but think that during his student days, William Wei was a problem student who smoked and drank. Time changes everything, and it couldn't be more appropriate to use it on him.

"Time is precious, so I won't say much more. Let me first report to the parents about the recent situation in our class and the final exam of the last semester."

He said, taking out a few sheets of paper from a thick stack of materials.

"In general, compared to other classes in the grade, our class has been doing quite well. This indicates that the students haven't slacked off during the summer vacation, which is inseparable from the guidance and supervision of the parents."

Well, not bad, start by flattering the parents and lighten up the atmosphere.

"Next, I will focus on the final exam of the last semester. I believe all the parents have already seen the report cards and rankings. I won't announce them again here."

Grades, something that brings joy to some and sorrow to others. It's one thing to do well, but if you perform poorly, it's inevitable that some parents will feel embarrassed.

"Here, I would like to say a few more words to the parents. As the homeroom teacher of the graduating class, it may be inappropriate for me to say this, but personally, I believe that a student's academic performance doesn't necessarily reflect their quality. Grades are never the sole measure of a child, and they should never determine their future. So, I hope parents don't fixate on this matter too much and don't put too much pressure on their children. At least, that's what I believe..."

...

It sounds a bit strange coming from William Wei's mouth, but on the other hand, precisely because it's coming from him, it's more convincing...

Who would have thought that a few years after he entered high school, several schools didn't want this notorious problem student? Who could have imagined that one day he would be standing on this three-foot podium, teaching and educating others?

"Now, I will briefly talk about the situation of each student in order of their seat numbers, so that parents can have a better understanding of their own child's situation."

As he spoke, he picked up the well-organized materials and looked through each student's information that he had carefully noted down in writing. It was evident that he had done a lot of research.

...

William Wei analyzed the situation of each student one by one, including their strong subjects, weak subjects, and their overall performance. He wrote down every detail he could think of in the data.

"Roxie Lin"

Ah, talking about Roxie Lin.

Mr. Lin next to him straightened his back slightly.

"Roxie Lin has consistently ranked in the top 5 of the class, but unfortunately, her grades have declined in all subjects this final exam. We hope she can work harder..."

At this moment, Mr. Lin suddenly stood up.

"Teacher Wei"

"Mr. Lin, please speak."

"My daughter performed poorly this time, it's my responsibility."

"Huh?"

As he spoke, he bowed respectfully to William Wei.

Also bowing their heads, at the back of the room, was Roxie Lin.

"I apologize for causing trouble, teachers!"

The surrounding parents looked at him puzzled.

They probably didn't understand why this father was apologizing.

But both William Wei and Samson Nan knew it all too well.

Due to a family incident, Roxie Lin took nearly a month off right before the final exams.

It seems that this stubborn old man felt guilty in his heart, even if he didn't say it aloud.

"Mr. Lin, please have a seat."

William Wei quickly asked him to sit down.

"For Roxie Lin, we hope you don't have to worry too much. This child has always been very diligent, that's something all of our teachers in the office can attest to. She still has a lot of room for improvement! Moreover, her personality is very good~ All the teachers like her a lot~"

That's true, Roxie Lin is quite a nice girl, aside from being a bit shy.

"Really..."

After hearing him speak, Mr. Lin sat back down.

"Well, especially among the boys in our class, she is quite popular~"

"Huh?"

Mr. Lin's calm face suddenly turned pale, as if he had stepped on a landmine.

Boys? Boys?

Mr. Lin's lips trembled slightly.

"That's right, maybe many boys in our class secretly admire her~ Haha"

The surrounding parents burst into laughter.

William Wei seemed to think that it would relieve the tension.

"..."

But please, open your eyes and see clearly. This old man is already rolling his eyes because of you, he instantly aged ten years...my goodness.

Samson Nan massaged his forehead.

"Next, Bell Tong~"

William Wei continued reading the information in his hands casually.

"Cough!!"

Tong Dongcheng behind him coughed twice.

The inexplicable intimidation instantly made the noisy classroom quiet again.

"We want to specially praise Bell Tong this time."

"Huh??"

Tong Dongcheng thought he had misheard. Based on his past experiences attending parent-teacher conferences, wasn't it always smiling faces going in and grumpy faces coming back?

Praise? This is the first time.

"Bell Tong made great progress in her grades last semester and ranked 38th in the class. Let's applaud for her!"

"I admit defeat, haha"

Tong Dongcheng also stood up and bowed to everyone.

38th place, that's considered great progress...

How miserable was she before...

Thinking this, William Wei spoke again:

"And, this semester, Bell Tong has been on time and attentive in class. These are all very positive changes~"

"Xiaoling, you've finally matured..."

Tong Dongcheng closed his eyes, pinched his nose, and seemed to be shedding tears of emotion.

This is considered maturity? Your standards are too low...

...

"Next up...Yuyu, no, Raina Nan."

He perked up his ears.

"Raina Nan is still the first in the class this time, and her state is as stable as ever. I think all the classmates should take her as an example and work harder."

...

"It's this child again, wasn't it her last time too?"

The parents around him commented, occasionally glancing in his direction.

Even if you all look at me like this, I still have to say...

...

This feeling is great.

...

Samson Nan smiled calmly, enjoying the envious looks from the parents.

So having a parent-teacher meeting is such a satisfying thing? No wonder my mom is always so enthusiastic about it.

In terms of face-saving, there is actually not much difference between being a brother and being a mother.

"Brother Feng,"

At this moment, Tong Dongcheng patted his shoulder from behind.

"Your sister is also great~ just like my little Ling~"

He said so, feeling quite relieved and giving a thumbs up.

No, no, no, you're thinking too much. It's obvious that my sister is even better...

At times like this, parents couldn't help but compare their own children with others.

...

Huh?

Something seems off...

...
