Chapter 48: Removal from Office

  Gu's mom stayed in Teacher Jiang's office for quite a while.

  At the last class, Gu Xiang had been paying attention, but Mrs. Gu hadn't come out yet.

  It was time for lunch, and Gu Xiang thought about whether to ask her mother to go to the cafeteria together. However, going directly to Jiang teacher's office felt too awkward.

  Gu's mom didn't tell her yesterday that she was coming to school, probably didn't want her to know either.

  Gu Xiang was a bit distracted, Tang Lulu noticed it, but she just lowered her head to eat and didn't ask anything.

  Lin Jiahuan felt even more embarrassed and didn't dare say anything else, fearing that Gu Xiang would get angry and ignore her.

  That afternoon, Gu Xiang thought that Teacher Jiang would call her over, but no matter how long she waited, until the school bell rang, Teacher Jiang didn't mention it.

  Back in the store, Mrs. Guo busied herself preparing dinner for her.

  While eating, Gu Xiang asked her mother why she went to school today.

  Mom Gu didn't have much of a reaction either, just saying: "The teachers' offices at your school are arranged too far inside, when I walked past your classroom I thought for sure you'd see me."

  Gu Xiang stared at her mom, making Gu's mom laugh.

  "Don't worry, mom has already helped you solve it. I asked clearly, that rental book card was Lin Jiahuan's mother who went to find Teacher Jiang to report the case. I told Teacher Jiang that we don't want to be the class committee member anymore, whatever. I'm just wondering, why do all things fall on your head? Is Teacher Jiang using you as a subordinate?"

  Gu Xiang heard her mom speaking quite calmly now, but at that time she was standing by the door and could hear very clearly. Her mom's attitude was very tough back then!

  However, Gu Xiang thought that his mother was still very domineering in the business world and only had a bad temper with family members.

  "Then what did Teacher Jiang say?"

  "Teacher Jiang said it's still important to focus on studying and agreed, I guess someone will take over in the next two days."

  Gu Xiang still had some worries: "Will this make Teacher Jiang lose face? I'll still be under his guidance in the future."

  Her mother's response was even more forceful: "We rely on our academic performance to speak for us, not like those who only rely on teachers pulling strings behind the scenes! Look at you, as a class representative, you have to go and report every day, and when your classmates don't study well, they still come to blame you!"

  Gu Xiang thought: "This isn't right!"

  Many things she didn't tell her mom in detail, it's unreasonable for her mom to be so emotional!

  It's obvious that someone had already said it before she did.

  "Don't look at me like that! You come back and tell me that your Uncle Xia called me that day. And you got scolded by a female teacher in the office, right?"

  This summer's teachings are too profound and vast!

  "Your Uncle Xia went with that female teacher to find your class teacher. If he hadn't waited outside and overheard everything, with your personality, you would have really swallowed it! In two days, you'll still have to rush to apologize to her!"

  Gu Xiang was scolded by her mother, and according to her accommodating personality, she might really soften up. Moreover, it's possible that in the eyes of Lin Jiahuan's parents, they themselves are the ones who corrupted her.

  "Yaya, when you're at home, Mom can't bear to scold you. If someone bullies you outside, Mom will be heartbroken."

  Gu Xiang saw her mother's eyes turn red as she spoke.

  She couldn't bear seeing her mom like this, so she quickly said: "Actually it's also my fault, I shouldn't have let the dog get into trouble. From now on, I'll take care of myself."

  The next day at school, Jiang Laoshi called Gu Xiang into her office for a talk.

  Mr. Jiang did not lose his temper with Gu Xiang this time, and was as gentle as before, even asking Gu Xiang what she thought.

  "My mom was right, I have low EQ and am not suitable for being a class committee member."

  Teacher Jiang said: "I just think you've done a great job."

  Gu Xiang sparred with him in Tai Chi: "I knew I didn't do well in the previous thing, but it also made me realize that I might not be suitable for being a class committee member."

  "You're still young now, and you retreat as soon as you encounter a little difficulty. What if in the future when you enter society, won't you also shrink back from interacting with people?"

  In society, bosses won't force me to spy on colleagues all day! And now I don't want to be a sandwiched person, or else I'll definitely handle social relationships poorly in the future?

  And it's just junior high school, if I really have to live like I'm already out in society, it's so tiring and boring!

  Mr. Chiang's generalization is really only suitable for fooling little kids.

  Gu Xiang thought to herself, her face not revealing anything: "We'll see about the future later, people will all grow up anyway. When that time comes, I'll learn programming, design, and do some work that doesn't require interacting with others."

  Mr. Jiang's attitude towards Gu Xiang was quite resolute, and he couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he let her go back.

  These two days, because of Gu Xiang's matter, the atmosphere in their small group has been very low.

  Although their usual topics of conversation didn't all revolve around Gu Xiang, in fact the several people had all gathered together because of her.

  Lin Jiahuan also wrote a letter to Gu Xiang, still letting other classmates deliver it, and didn't dare to give it directly. A whole sheet of paper was filled with apologetic words.

  Gu Xiang didn't blame her, and during class break, she returned a small note to her. Lin Jiahuan only then dared to come find her to play.

  In the afternoon self-study class, Teacher Jiang announced to the class that they would re-elect the class committee and first praised Gu Xiang for doing a good job before.

  Although he didn't say anything explicitly, he vacated the position of vice class leader for Gu Xiang. In the eyes of other classmates, it was as if Gu Xiang had committed some kind of mistake and been removed from office.

  She also has an English class representative, but the class representative only does what the undergraduate teacher asks them to do, usually just collecting homework and distributing handouts, unlike the vice class leader who is dragged into every activity in the class and doesn't have any real power.

  However, because Gu Xiang has always been stable as the top student of her age group and is also quite capable of calming people down in her daily life, surprisingly no one actively signed up to run against her.

  Teacher Jiang said since no one is willing, it's almost the end of the semester anyway, and they can choose again uniformly when they're in second year.

  This matter is now settled, and Gu Xiang has resigned in disgrace.

  Teacher Jiang also didn't pursue her responsibility for knowing and not reporting, and leading her classmates astray.

  She has a good relationship with her classmates, everyone thinks she will be heartbroken, but seeing her handing in English homework later, just like nothing happened, and no one asks her anything.

  Gao Bin, who had a grudge against Gu Xiang before, couldn't help but stab her with two sentences on this matter.

  It's okay once or twice, but Gu Xiang is also annoyed when it happens many times. He says: "I don't even care about being a class committee member myself, what kind of heart do you have? If you really care so much about the class committee, go and talk to Teacher Jiang yourself if you want to be one, stop bringing up the topic every time and putting it on me."

  Lin Jiahuan chimed in from the side, "Right, if you have the ability, go tell Teacher Jiang. Oh, I remember you only scored a few dozen last time. Want to be a class committee member? Go back to Class 2."

  Gao Bang glared at her: "What's it got to do with you? You're the worst of the bunch and still have the nerve to talk about me?"

  One sentence made Lin Jiahuan want to jump with rage.

  Gu Xiang pulled her back and said to Gao Bin: "If you're willing to scold me like a shrew, I'll find two more girls to slowly deal with you. If you want to fight," she pointed at Ning Peng, "go tell the sports committee, there are many who don't like you!"

  "He cursed: 'A dog relying on a powerful master!'"

  Zhao Lei happened to be passing by and heard it, saying: "Gao Bin, if you really don't like our class 1, you should go tell the teacher yourself. No need to target us."

  Zhao Leibei has been the class leader for a long time. Usually when something happens, she is the one who takes charge. She also tends to be quite strict and if things can't be managed, she directly reports it to the teacher.

  She still has quite some prestige among her classmates.

  Gao Bing didn't dare confront her directly, so he just grunted and left.

  Gu Xiang herself wanted to scold herself.

  I'm just a bun, why is the dog following me?

  It's her fault for being too nice all the time.

  But there is only one such extreme product as Gao Bin who doesn't get along with Gu Xiang, and no one is so bored that they would deliberately come to poke at people's sore spots.

  Chen Yue is now sitting next to Gu Xiang, after Gu Xiang stopped being a class committee member, she and Gu Xiang have also had more conversations, the two people can chat for a few sentences in addition to some necessary daily dialogue.

  Lin Jiahuan also scolded Gu Xiang privately: "If it weren't for her, Teacher Jiang wouldn't blame you either! Your class committee position would not have been revoked."

  Gu Xiang said: "I've told you all, I didn't want to be a class committee member myself. According to what you're saying, it seems that another reason why Teacher Jiang blamed me is because of you!"

  Lin Jiahuan was about to get anxious, but Gu Xiang didn't tease her anymore: "Actually, I'm quite annoyed with reporting on others. Teacher Jiang used to ask me to go and ask the teacher about the class situation, the learning atmosphere of the class, and I would say something without thinking much about it. Now he asks me to keep an eye on my classmates like a hawk, and I really feel like I can't do it."

  Moreover, if she really let her handle it, she thought that she could get Teacher Jiang to hand over the task of monitoring Chen Yue to someone else, rather than using this direct and rough method.

  But her mother thought she was being bullied at school and wanted to help her out, and Gu Xiang didn't think it was necessary to disobey her mother on this matter.

  It's almost May Day, everyone is looking forward to the holiday, and the atmosphere in the class has become more lively.

  Everyone is secretly discussing where to go for Labour Day.

  Gu Xiang didn't have many ideas, she either stayed at home to help with the shop or went to the countryside for two days. The best part of the long holiday for her was just being able to sleep in.

  Tang Lulu asked Gu Xiang which day she was free and wanted to invite her out to play together.

  Gu Xiang asked her where she wanted to go.

  Tang Lulu said she wanted to go for a walk in the forest park in the county. She was tired of studying at school and at home.

  Gu Xiang thought it would be nice to get close to nature for a change.

  Because the two people discussed it without avoiding others, they said it directly on the spot. Gu Xiang casually asked Chen Yue and Fan Qianwen.

  Fan Qianwen is an otaku girl. Every day of the long holiday is precious to her, and she can read one more book a day!

  Chen Yue has some pride and her relationship with them is ordinary.

  Gu Xiang just asked casually, but Chen Yue surprisingly agreed.

  Later, Lin Jiahuan and Li Wei were also asked, and they both said they would go.

  Lin Jiahuan said that she might have to live with her uncle's family later, and when she goes out, her younger brother might follow her.

  Lin Jiahuan's younger brother is in sixth grade of elementary school. Gu Xiang thinks it's no big deal: "Just come along, anyway. It's just a day out. We can have a barbecue and bring a boy to help move things."

  It was just a casual discussion, but Tang Lulu's proposal gradually grew into an activity for six people.

  Chen Yue heard that Lin Jiahuan was going to bring her brother, so she asked Gu Xiang if she could bring someone.

  Gu Xiang thought about it and felt that since Lin Jia had already agreed to bring her along, there was no reason to exclude her, so she also agreed.

  Later on, I even thought of dying!

  When I update next chapter, this chapter will be supplemented a bit, those who bought little angel remember to come back and take a look ~ ^ _ ^

  It's really because of the rampant piracy that the author had no choice but to resort to this tactic 233333
