Chapter 263 Whether to Participate or Not
The news that the Hacker Alliance had exclusively released to the Duncan Corporation was indeed not ordinary news. Branden had wanted this chip for a long time and had been waiting for news to be released on the market.
If there were any rumors, no matter how much the cost, he would take the exclusive rights. Hacker Alliance, one of the largest chip bases in the world, actually took the initiative to release news to the Duncan Corporation, which was indeed unusual.
âPaxton, arrange for Carlo to come back.â
Paxton understood Brandenâs intention. Branden wanted to put Carlo Duncan in charge of this matter. âOkay, Iâll contact Carlo immediately!â
If Carlo was in charge of this matter, Paxton could rest assured. Otherwise, he worried he might not have enough energy to handle it.
As Paxton was about to leave, he seemed to remember something and suddenly turned around to Branden again.
âMr. Duncan, do you think it could be related to Miss Swann?â Although they were not sure what Catherineâs relationship with the Hacker Alliance was, since she knew Joseph, she must have a connection with it. Just as he finished speaking, before Branden could respond, Paxton denied himself.
âIt should not be possible. After all, the matter about chips is important, and only the Hacker Allianceâs decision- makers can make this decision!â
Branden remained silent throughout the process, his gaze coldly examining the document Paxton had handed him. At the end of class, the homeroom teacher of Class 8 suddenly went to the class looking for Catherine.
âCatherine, come out for a minute!â
Ronin and Bryan looked at Catherine with concern, wondering what the homeroom teacher suddenly wanted from her.
Catherine, however, stood up gracefully and dragged her body lazily along with the homeroom teacher to the office.
After the homeroom teacher handed Catherine a chair, Catherine sat down immediately. She lazily leaned back in the chair with a very dominant posture.
It just so happened that the homeroom teacher of Class 7 also walked in and recognized Catherine immediately. Since the last celebration gala, no one would not recognize Catherine, the popular figure of Loyalty Academy.
Unlike others, the homeroom teacher of Class 7 did not like Catherine. She had long heard about Catherineâs deeds and knew Catherine slept daily during class and led a group of students in playful distractions.
Most importantly, since Catherineâs appearance, Class 8 had stolen all the limelight from Class 7. The homeroom teacher of Class 7 had a lot of grievances about this.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the office, she saw Catherine sitting lazily on the chair without paying attention to her homeroom teacher.
The homeroom teacher of Class 7 immediately became angry. She looked at the homeroom teacher of Class 8 and said sarcastically, âMiss Joyce, you have such a good temper. You donât get angry even if some students are so arrogant in front of you!â
Hearing this, Catherine had an expressionless face and didnât care.
The face of the homeroom teacher of Class 8 sank. However, there were a lot of grudges between her and the homeroom teacher of Class 7, and she didnât make any direct attacks considering their colleaguesâ relationship.
Catherine and her homeroom teacherâs silence did not make the homeroom teacher of Class 7 stop being sarcastic but instead made her even more arrogant.
She sarcastically told Catherine, â There are all kinds of students nowadays. Some students donât even have the right sitting or standing posture and come to school to sleep all day long. This type of student is a typical black sheep. Whatâs the use of keeping such students?â
What she said was extremely unpleasant. Just as Catherine was about to retort her, her homeroom teacher suddenly stood up. She looked straight at the homeroom teacher of Class 7, her face very serious, and her eyes were filled with anger.
âMiss Hart, Catherine is my student. If there is anything she does not do well, I will advise her. As teachers, arenât you going too far in making such accusations against the students in my class without knowing the situation?â
The homeroom teacher of Class 7 was furious at those words and was planning to hit back. However, she didnât expect the homeroom teacher of Class 8 to continue.
âI advise you to take care of the students in your class and improve their grades when you have time so that you wonât be criticized again at the next homeroom teacher assembly.â
These words hit the point!
What the homeroom teacher of Class 7 hated the most was that the students in her class were not as excellent as those in Class 8. Every year, she received less year-end awards than the teachers of Class 8.
It could be said that the homeroom teacher of Class 8 had now mentioned the homeroom teacher of Class 7âs sore spot, and saying those words in front of Catherine made the homeroom teacher of Class 7 more embarrassed.
The homeroom teacher of Class 7 was so angry that she stamped her foot and rushed out of the office. As soon as she left, Catherine, who was watching the show, gave her homeroom teacher a thumbs up.
âNice one!â
Her homeroom teacher pretended to be angry and rolled her eyes at her. âAvoid her when you meet her in the future. Iâm worried that sheâll cause you trouble without me around!â
Catherine thought to herself, âCause me trouble?
âDoes Miss Hart have this ability?â Catherine didnât continue the topic. After all, she wasnât afraid, even if Miss Hart really had the ability.
âWerenât you looking for me for something?â
The homeroom teacher reached out and patted her forehead, looking cute. â Yes, I have something to talk to you about. Itâs all Miss Hartâs fault. She almost made me forget about it.â
After saying that, the homeroom teacher took out a document and handed it to Catherine. âThis is a document issued by the school. As the first-place group of the celebration gala, you guys are qualified to participate in the National Literary League.â
Catherine knew about this, and Bryan had mentioned it to her before. She refused her homeroom teacher without even looking at the document. âIâm not interested. You can find someone else!â
It was the same answer she had given Bryan before. She was really not interested in it. The homeroom teacher knew what Catherine meant. Otherwise, she wouldnât have called her to the office alone to discuss.
Although unsure of what Catherine thought, she knew that the core of their group was Catherine, and as long as she could persuade Catherine, everything would be solved.
âCatherine, this isnât just an honor for you alone, but for our Class 8. As you can see, Class 8 is in the ascendancy within the school right now, and to maintain the passion of the whole class, I think you should participate.
âWhat would other classes think of our Class 8 if our first-place group didnât even participate?â
Seeing that Catherine didnât say anything, the homeroom teacher didnât force the issue. âThis is a personal request from me. I want you to go back and think about it. You can give me the answer tomorrow.â
Catherineâs face remained the same as she stood up with her hands in her pockets and walked out of the office. She went back into the classroom and sat down.
As soon as she sat down, Ronin and Bryan approached her. âBoss, why did the homeroom teacher ask the office?â you to go to Catherine didnât hide it and said lightly, âSomething about the National Literary and Art League!â
âSo thatâs it!â Ronin nodded thoughtfully. âThatâs not a big problem. Weâll just not participate.â
He knew Catherine didnât like these, and she couldnât participate. There was a slight entanglement between Catherineâs eyebrows. No one could force her, and she wouldnât do things she didnât want to do.
But something seemed to be different this time!
