Because HuMing rushed to the scene, quite a few students had gathered in the hallway outside the broadcast room, curious about the commotion.Amid the crowd, a few teachers squeezed through and entered the broadcast room.
Inside, HuMing glared at the two broadcasters, who wore awkward expressions, unable to offer any explanation.
One of the male broadcasters inwardly thought, What does this have to do with him?
âHuMing, itâs not a big deal. They know they were wrong.â One of the teachers tried to mediate.
In their eyes, this wasnât a major issue, and HuMingâs aggressive stance seemed unnecessary.
However, HuMing turned to the two teachers and replied coldly,
âNot a big deal? Iâve read the rules for the broadcast station. Without the authorâs consent, personal submissions are not to be read on air. Despite such clear regulations, they still chose to expose a studentâs private work. Isnât that a display of malice?â
His words were powerful, and even the students watching from outside could hear him clearly.
Many students found themselves agreeing with HuMing's argument. It was clear from his words that someone had deliberately played a mean-spirited prank. After all, who would submit such an immature story to the broadcast station unless it was to mock them?
The teachers were visibly embarrassed, unable to mask their awkwardness.
But then, the female broadcaster muttered under her breath, âWell, itâs her fault for not cleaning it up properly⦠and writing so poorlyâ¦â
Hearing this, HuMing retorted sharply, âBy your logic, since your grades arenât as good as mine, why bother taking exams? Why not just go work in a factory assembling screws? Actually, noâsomeone like you probably wouldnât even get hired there.â
HuMingâs words showed no trace of gentlemanly restraint, but to the bystanders, his bluntness was oddly satisfying.
The teachers, realizing they couldnât outargue him, quickly demanded that the broadcasters apologize.
However, HuMing interjected again.
âYou shouldnât apologize to me. You owe a public apology to Wu Qing! A girl working hard to achieve her dream was ridiculed by you until her efforts were rendered meaningless. I canât believe the standards for broadcast station members are so lowâit completely changes my perception of this school!â
âHuMing, donât escalate this to involve the school!â Another teacher snapped, trying to contain the situation.
HuMingâs sharp gaze bore into them.
âLet me ask you this: as todayâs supervising teachers, why is it that I managed to run over from another building before you resolved this, despite your office being just one floor away? And now, when this is clearly about a studentâs future, why do you insist on downplaying it? If something happens to Wu Qing tonight because of this, will you take responsibility as teachers?â
His furious expression left the teachers visibly flustered. They exchanged glances, unable to meet his eyes.
Meanwhile, the surrounding students were thrilledâthis was an open challenge to authority!
Han ShuYi, who had just arrived, overheard HuMingâs words. A cold smile tugged at his lips. To him, HuMing was overstepping his bounds. Confronting teachers, no matter how capable one might be, was far from rational behavior.
âHuMing, donât go too far!â Their voice lacked conviction.
âIâll take this to the principal.â
âDo you think the principal will bother with such a trivial matter?â
âIf the principal thinks this approach to education is acceptable, then this school isnât worth attending,â HuMing retorted, his words sending chills down the teachersâ spines.
Their eyes widened in disbelief. Ever since Ye QiuXue left the school, no one had been able to fill her shoes. They had finally gotten a student like HuMingâif he were to leave, the principal would probably fire them all.
Han ShuYi, standing in the crowd, was already strategizing how to get HuMing to quit on his own. SÑarch* The ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Suddenly, someone walked past him.
He instinctively called out her name, but she ignored him and walked straight to HuMingâs side.
âI agree with HuMing. If the school doesnât address this issue clearly, Iâll withdraw as well.â
This time the students erupted in shock. All eyes turned to the speaker, struggling to believe her words.
The teachersâ faces turned pale. If even she decided to leave, they might as well consider changing careers.
Xia XiaoXi stood beside HuMing, her eyes fixed on the two broadcasters in the distance.
The broadcasters, overwhelmed by the situation, avoided her gaze, unable to come up with an explanation.
Xia XiaoXi continued, her tone calm and steady. âTeaching and nurturing students is a teacherâs responsibility. If you canât even respect a studentâs dream, then I see no reason to stay here.â
Her usual bright smile was gone, replaced by a solemn expression.
The scattered chuckles around the room disappeared entirely after Xia XiaoXi spoke.
While some might resist HuMingâs words, Xia XiaoXiâs statement carried a different weightâit was the influence of a campus idol.
At this point, there was no turning back.
Han ShuYi stepped forward from the crowd. âHuMing, youâll hear apologies from the students and teachers tomorrow. For now, can you let this matter rest? A crowd like this isnât good for anyone.â
His words were reasonable, acknowledging the escalation while giving the teachers a way out.
He looked at HuMing with sharp eyes, but HuMing met his gaze without fear.
âPresident Han, as the student council president, youâre falling far short of expectations,â HuMing said coldly before walking past Han ShuYi without even sparing him a glance.
Han ShuYiâs faint smile froze momentarily, leaving him at a loss for words.
Outside, murmurs about the absent Ye QiuXue grew louder among the students.
âIf Ye QiuXue were here, sheâd have cut the broadcast within minutes.â
âDidnât you notice? Han ShuYiâs canceled a lot of the rules Ye QiuXue set up. It seems easier on the surface, but the student councilâs gotten way too powerfulâitâs so annoying sometimes.â
âAgreed. I think the current student council is even worse.â
