Chapter 75: Kiss Where?
Sheng Mingyuan had already gone to teach the students, leaving Ji Niandong alone in the office.
She stood for a long time, took a deep breath, and then rushed out of the office straight into the classroom.
Everyone was rehearsing a play, and her sudden entrance left them at a loss.
"Teacher Sheng, I call you teacher because I truly hope to learn from you, and it’s also a sign of respect and acknowledgment. But why do you outright deny me and give me an impossible task?" She stared intently at Sheng Mingyuan, her eyes filled with anger.
Sheng Mingyuan shifted his stance, standing casually, "There are plenty of people who want to study under me, I don’t need you to prove my worth. If you can’t take a bit of criticism, why are you still here?!"
Ji Niandong snorted coldly, "Then why didn’t you say so earlier! Why make me water flowers and organize tapes? Oh, when you’re happy, you command me like a servant, and when you’re not, you yell and tell me to get lost?! Your worth is high, sure, but what about your upbringing? Is this how you educate people, with insults?"
She turned her head to look at the stunned trainees, "Do you know what he asked me to do? He demanded a large sum of money from me, and if I couldn’t deliver, I’d be thrown out along with all you dummies! To him, you’re just a bunch of fools! And honestly, is he any better in your eyes? I heard what you called him earlier, a midlife-crisis old man?"
A few trainees exchanged glances, afraid that Sheng Mingyuan would lose his temper.
"Isn’t he just a midlife-crisis old man? Otherwise, why would he lose his temper so easily, unable to control it himself? Why don’t you go see a doctor? Am I right?" Ji Niandong glanced at the trainees, but they remained silent. She went over and tugged on their arms, "Come on, speak up, don’t you have grievances against him too, why aren’t you saying anything?"
Still, no one said a word until a young girl tugged her arm, "Stop talking, if you really want to learn something from Teacher Sheng, just keep quiet!"
