Chapter 488 The Commoner Teacher at the Noble Academy 3
The music in the auditorium gradually faded, but the applause continued.
The board representative present on stage was Chairman Zhuo Gao, who is also the father of the male protagonist Zhuo Xuan and the father of Xia Youmi's husband.
The president, nearing fifty, was steady and poised. When he stood up to give his speech, he was graceful and generous, and his words were humorous. He made the new students feel as if they were joining their dream company. Being able to come to the undergraduate department of Jiyu Academy is an honor for every student and teacher.
It is a consensus that Mingming Academy has always enjoyed a high status and preferential treatment.
The president's speech made it seem as if the board of directors had put in a tremendous amount of effort, and that they were incredibly honored to be a part of it.
Even after the meeting ended, each class was organized by their class monitor to meet with the teacher in the classroom, and there was still a constant stream of discussion surrounding the president.
Xia Youmi said goodbye to Tang Kou and Professor Yan outside the A-class's private classroom.
"See you."
The classroom door was opened from the inside, and a handsome young man wearing glasses walked out carrying documents, bringing with him the content of the freshmen's discussion.
"The president is so lucky! To have such an outstanding junior as Zhuo Xuan."
"Yes yes yes!"
"Thanks to being in the same class as Zhuo, our future projects will be much easier."
Shh, it sounds like the teacher is coming.
"The squad leader went."
Jiyu Academy has always attached great importance to the self-cultivation of students. Therefore, even after the classes are formed, the class advisors are not the first people to meet the students.
The internal organization will first select a class leader, and once this person is fixed, the class leader will be the core of the organization for each class's collective activities.
Typically, class monitors are members of the high school student council.
They came with prestige from the very beginning.
Only after the board of directors' appearance was over did Xia Youmi have her formal meeting with the new students.
"Teacher Xia, I am Gu Cheng, the class monitor of Class A." The steady, youthful voice introduced himself first, causing Xia Youmi to stop in her tracks as she entered the classroom.
"Student Gu."
Xia Youmi smiled and looked directly into the other person's eyes, without any extra emotion.
Although the teachers were decided last, the information they had seemed very comprehensive. It included not only each student's grades and achievements at Jiyu Academy from elementary to high school, but also the grades and family backgrounds of the specially admitted students.
However, how well different class teachers can digest the material in a short period of time depends entirely on their abilities. Xia Youmi's excuse to Tang Kou precisely utilized this point; she couldn't appear too relaxed.
In addition, there is an unspoken rule: the family backgrounds, businesses, and spheres of influence of students who have studied at Jiyu Academy since childhood will not appear in the publicly released information.
So, how can we arrange our interactions properly to avoid clashes between our respective households?
It's a test that all students tacitly accept from their teachers. They won't actively remind you. If you can't handle different family backgrounds, social statuses, and social circles well, it proves that you're still behind everyone else.
Regardless of family background or dedication to their profession.
Students don't welcome slackers.
The man standing in front of Xia Youmi is Gu Cheng, the male supporting character from the original story, and also the male lead's childhood friend and partner who has been a perfect match since they were young. His resume is outstanding; regardless of age, he has never fallen out of the top ten in academic rankings.
In addition,
After another outstanding president, who was two years ahead of him, went on to study, the position of new president was never relinquished.
He was also the only member of the main group who should have naturally entered the Arts Management Class A.
The family business is in the arts industry, hosting countless trading events every year. His family has been outstanding graduates of the Arts Management program at Jiyu Academy since his great-great-grandfather generation.
It is also the family that has absorbed the most talent.
Teachers will have less to worry about when he's around.
However, if you really treat him as a capable assistant and want to be a hands-off manager, you will soon be sidelined.
It appears dangerous yet harmless, a collection of contradictions.
"Teacher Xia, this is the list of newly elected class committee members, as well as the dormitory assignments." Gu Cheng handed two documents to Xia Youmi with both hands, wearing a flawless smile. You could look at them from every angle and not find the slightest bit of offense or disrespect.
"Thanks for your hard work."
But his actions demonstrate absolute sovereignty in every aspect.
While Class B, led by Teacher Tang, was busily holding elections, or Class C, led by Professor Yan, was listening to lectures, Xia Youmi from Class A was politely turned away and forced to accept the prepared results handed to her by the class monitor.
Use a fact that doesn't require your involvement to test Xia Youmi's desire for control.
really interesting.
"Let's go in first, don't keep everyone waiting."
"it is good."
Xia Youmi spoke softly and gently, consistent with her usual personality. Gu Cheng also politely stepped back, his manners impeccable.
The moment Gu Cheng stepped onto the podium, he simultaneously sat down in the front row. It wasn't out of respect for anyone, and all the chatter suddenly disappeared.
It was quiet; even the wind outside the window had stopped.
"Good afternoon, students. I am Xia Youmi, the class teacher of Class A."
Her gentle voice seemed to come naturally from a quiet alley, without the slightest abruptness.
Although the students' expressions were relatively good, they remained quiet with only slight smiles.
"Snapped--"
"Clap clap-"
Xia Youmi remained calm and showed no signs of urgency to continue the conversation.
Sure enough, after a brief glance, Gu Cheng and Zhuo Xuan led the applause.
With just a simple gesture, a series of perfectly synchronized applause erupted. Xia Youmi's smile revealed a hint of nostalgia; this was the rhythm taught at Jiyu Academy's elementary school, one of the proofs that she and her classmates had grown up together.
Those who can't keep up with the pace are just passing through, each with their own unique feelings.
After breaking the ice, the rest of the process went much more smoothly.
Xia Youmi herself didn't say much, giving most of the time to the newly appointed class committee members to speak on stage. They had already come up with a mature plan to deal with the upcoming activities, including sports, arts festival, competitions, entrepreneurship project incubation center, student union system, and tutor quotas for various subjects.
She sat quietly on a high stool, acting as a guest host.
Unbeknownst to everyone, they were absorbed in the matters that needed attention in the future. Only a very few people noticed Xia Youmi's ease in handling the situation; she relayed the positions and activities of each cadre who took the stage without a single error.
Gu Cheng narrowed his eyes. He knew better than anyone how complicated the document he was handling was, and this Teacher Xia only glanced at it before perfectly picking out every key point.
She seemed to be doing it effortlessly. It was as if she already knew everything Gu Cheng had done these past few days, and even glancing at it was just a symbolic gesture, giving him some face for his hard work.
Zhuo Xuan's good brother's wife is truly not to be underestimated.
When the first class meeting ended and everyone parted ways, their attitude towards Xia Youmi improved considerably. Besides realizing, like Gu Cheng, that she wasn't just a pretty face, there was also the pure increase in their positive feelings towards her because of her looks.
