Chapter 250 Original Sin 59
Hao Jianxing grunted, then scrutinized Yun Shuangshuang up and down with a critical eye. In truth, Hao Jianxing didn’t particularly like Yun Shuangshuang, whom he viewed as someone who used connections to study at the school.
A person who hadn’t attended school from a young age and then used connections to get into high school and sit for the university entrance exam, especially at his City No.1 Middle School, Hao Jianxing didn’t think Yun Shuangshuang would have any genuine capability.
Even though yesterday his good friend Professor Zhang called him and repeatedly boasted in a proud tone that City No.1 Middle School had gained a great advantage by having Yun Shuangshuang introduced there, it couldn’t change Hao Jianxing’s perception that Yun Shuangshuang was a student who used connections.
While Hao Jianxing was assessing Yun Shuangshuang, the door of the principal’s office was knocked again, and this time a stern-looking middle-aged woman entered.
The middle-aged woman held a stack of papers in her hand; Yun Shuangshuang guessed that it must be the test papers and questions for her. The woman’s gaze toward Yun Shuangshuang was very cold, carrying a sense of suppression. Yun Shuangshuang could clearly see the dislike and rejection in the woman’s eyes.
Hao Jianxing said indifferently to Yun Shuangshuang, "This is Teacher Chu, your future homeroom teacher. She will oversee your exam today."
Yun Shuangshuang knew that both Hao Jianxing and Teacher Chu were dissatisfied with her using connections, but she didn’t care. No matter how many good words Professor Zhang said when introducing her, it couldn’t change the fact that she used connections, which usually represents lack of capability!
Lack of capability is a drag for a school; for a homeroom teacher, it simplifies to one thing: affecting performance, which is directly linked to salary. So, it would be curious if both Principal Hao and Teacher Chu liked her.
Teacher Chu didn’t speak either; she just spread the papers in her hand in front of Yun Shuangshuang coldly and said, "Answer the questions. Let me warn you: if your results don’t reach the passing line, our school won’t admit you."
Evidently, Teacher Chu had very low expectations of Yun Shuangshuang, so low that merely reaching a pass was considered satisfactory, which could be seen as an alternative form of contempt and insult.
