When the report came in, Huang Wenbai didn't quite believe that Su Xiaotian would engage in speculative and profiteering activities.
After all, the concept of Su Xiaotian being a good student was deeply ingrained.
However, the scene before him was truly disheartening.
The good student in his eyes, the good student in everyone's eyes, was actually involved in speculative and profiteering activities.
Huang Wenbai was heartbroken, looking at Su Xiaotian with eyes that showed he wished she wouldn't disappoint him.
"Classmate Su Xiaotian, please put your things away and come to my office," Huang Wenbai said in a cold voice.
The atmosphere became stagnant at that moment.
The smiles on the faces of the originally cheerful classmates gradually faded.
Only Song Lingling's face showed a hint of a smile.
After the conflict at the beginning of the semester, Song Lingling had been quiet for a while after suffering a loss.
But Du Yonghe was always pestering Su Xiaotian, and even to get closer to Su Xiaotian, his relationship with Su Xiao Ba and Su Xiao Jiu also improved, which made Song Lingling very unwilling.
However, with the precedent of Zhou Ruisu, Song Lingling was afraid of causing trouble for her family if she provoked Su Xiaotian, so she didn't dare to say much.
The last time Su Xiaotian sold accessories at school, she had already wanted to report her, but later, Su Xiaotian never brought goods to school again, so she had to give up reluctantly.
However, although she appeared delicate on the outside, she had a very stubborn personality and had been keeping an eye on Su Xiaotian during this time.
Song Lingling smiled triumphantly.
She secretly thought, "See, there's always a time when I catch you out."
Su Xiaotian looked at Huang Wenbai's not-so-good expression and didn't know what had happened.
As a good student, she actually had immunity in front of Huang Wenbai; he often turned a blind eye to many things.
Su Xiaotian looked around and saw nothing to pack up, so she followed Huang Wenbai out.
When Su Xiao Ba and Su Xiao Jiu saw Teacher Huang's expression was wrong, they immediately got up and followed.
Huang Wenbai was very surprised when he saw Su Xiao Ba and Su Xiao Jiu.
"Why are you two not in class and following me?"
The two looked at Su Xiaotian. Were they following the teacher?
No, they were following their sister!
"Teacher, why are you asking my sister to go to the office?" Xiao Ba asked first.
"Your sister is buying and selling in the classroom! Do you know how serious this problem is!" Huang Wenbai said with a headache.
The Su siblings were all outstanding students, and he liked them.
He also didn't want such students to have any problems that would affect their studies.
But the report had already reached the principal's office, and if it wasn't handled properly, it would definitely cause other problems.
Before Huang Wenbai said this, Su Xiaotian hadn't thought about what she had done to be invited to the office by the teacher.
Upon hearing this, she was also startled.
Such a serious charge?
Su Xiaotian knew that if the charge of speculation and profiteering was established, she would suffer a great loss.
No, no matter what, she couldn't admit to this charge.
"Teacher Huang, I dare not admit to this charge. Speculation and profiteering, could I do such a thing?"
Su Xiaotian's tone was very calm, far from the stormy sea in her heart.
"I saw you taking money just now."
As they spoke, they had already walked into Huang Wenbai's office, and Huang Wenbai spoke without reservation.
"Teacher Huang, I brought back a lot of small accessories during the New Year. Now that the weather is warmer, I thought of sharing them with my good friends. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"There's nothing wrong with sharing, but taking money is wrong," Huang Wenbai said with a headache.
"Teacher Huang, this is really a wrongful accusation. After I picked out some for Jiang Hong and the others, there were a few left, and someone came over. I wouldn't give them away for free to someone I don't like, so I transferred them at the original price. How did this become speculation and profiteering?"
Besides, who would engage in speculation and profiteering with just a few small trinkets?
It wasn't worth the trouble.
But Su Xiaotian didn't say this.
"You say you sold them at the original price, but no one can prove it!" Huang Wenbai was also very distressed.
For such things, if you say it's the original price, but you can't provide proof.
In the end, it was destined that you could only suffer in silence.
Since he started teaching this class, Huang Wenbai had always felt extremely tired.
How could a group of young children have so many schemes?
Perhaps it was because they were too smart?
If he had known earlier, he really wouldn't have taken this gifted class; he would have aged several years in two years.
"I really can't prove this, but Teacher Huang, if the other party reports me for speculation and profiteering, shouldn't they provide evidence of my speculation and profiteering?" Su Xiaotian's eyes rolled as she immediately spoke.
Su Xiaotian would not just sit there and wait to die.
If the other party said her accessories were priced too high, they would have to provide evidence that her selling price was too high.
If she was successfully reported this time, her future days would be difficult to imagine.
"Teacher Huang, when Xiaotian bought these, she said they were for good friends, and the price was indeed the price she sold them to those girls today. If it really doesn't work, we won't sell them," Su Xiao Ba immediately said.
Su Xiao Jiu also said, "Teacher Huang, our sister Xiaotian is a bilingual translator in German and French. How could she lack this little bit of money?"
"If Teacher Huang still feels troubled, why not look around Beijing? If you can find a lower price than mine, it can also explain the problem," Su Xiaotian continued.
Huang Wenbai: "..."
The Su siblings were outstanding, but they were also difficult to deal with, one by one.
"Teacher Huang, do you think my method is good?"
Was the method good? Yes!
But he was a teacher, and a homeroom teacher. Where would he find the time to ask about the prices of accessories for young girls on the streets and alleys?
"Of course, you also know that I am not someone who suffers losses. If you find a price lower than what I gave them today, I will admit defeat. If you can't find one, then don't blame me."
If someone dares to falsely accuse, if there is a first time, there will be a second time.
Sitting still was not her nature. Su Xiaotian had no intention of letting this matter pass.
She didn't need to think to know that Song Lingling must have done this today.
This girl was really persistent.
It had been more than half a year, and she was still bothering her like this.
If she didn't suppress her this time and let her know the consequences, her life would not be peaceful in the future.
Seeing Su Xiaotian like this, Huang Wenbai knew that this girl definitely had other plans.
He wondered if Song Lingling was smart or foolish?
It was clearly something that had nothing to do with her, so why insist on causing trouble?
If she put this energy into her studies, her academic ranking might improve by several notches.
"I will handle this matter properly. Classmate Su Xiaotian, you must not take any drastic actions."
Huang Wenbai was still worried that Su Xiaotian would retaliate against Song Lingling.
Although he hadn't said anything, Su Xiaotian must have guessed it.
"Teacher Huang, don't worry, I won't do anything illegal," Su Xiaotian promised with a smile. "For example, when making money, I only earn within the scope of the law!"
Huang Wenbai: "..."
It was the first time he had seen someone talk about making money so openly.
A little girl, only focused on making money, was it right or wrong?
Huang Wenbai didn't want to comment.
The times were changing, and many things were different from before. He heard that in some places, there were already "ten-thousand-yuan households," and the local government planned to commend them.
Su Xiaotian thinking about making money didn't seem wrong.
"Classmate Su Xiaotian, you are a student. For now, no matter what, you should prioritize your studies."
Su Xiaotian said with a giggle, "Teacher Huang, my academic performance has always been good, and I love to read. Almost everyone in the school knows that."
Huang Wenbai was once again speechless.
Indeed, she was the top student, and Su Xiaotian deserved it.
Making money hadn't affected her academic performance, so there was no need to interfere.
