Since apologizing to Zhong Yi in the parent group, Tian Yulan had felt as if a huge stone were lodged in her heart, and she was thoroughly uncomfortable.
She felt she had already set aside all her pride and self-respect for her child, yet she still felt stifled.
From then on, she never spoke in the class group again, and even directly quit that parent group where no teachers were present.
She felt that in that group, she had become a laughingstock in everyone's eyes.
Now, Tian Yulan's daily focus was supervising Yan Ziyou's studies. She would sit beside Yan Ziyou, watching him do his homework, and frequently remind him to be serious and focused.
"Zi You, you must study well and not slacken in the slightest. Mom is doing all this for you," Tian Yulan said sternly.
Then every day she would ask Yan Ziyou whether he had been targeted by Zhong Yi at school.
"Zi You, was Teacher Zhang not nice to you today? Did he deliberately make things difficult for you?"
Yan Ziyou shook his head helplessly every time, saying no.
But Tian Yulan still felt uneasy, even placing a recording pen in Yan Ziyou's schoolbag, fearing Zhong Yi would take public revenge on private grudges and deal with Yan Ziyou.
Yan Ziyou looked at the recording pen in his schoolbag, his heart full of helplessness. "Mom, Teacher Zhang wouldn't do that," he said softly.
Tian Yulan glared at him instead. "What does a child like you know? Knowing a person's face but not their heart. Mom is doing all this for your own good. What if he takes revenge on you?"
But now Zhong Yi definitely would not take revenge on Yan Ziyou, after all, laying hands on a child would be too unmanly.
Zhong Yi still taught seriously in class, treating every student equally. It was just that for Yan Ziyou, he had no special attention.
Since Tian Yulan believed in the tutoring class, as long as he did not cause trouble in class and finished his after-school homework, it would be fine, after all Zhong Yi was no saint.
And Yan Ziyou also learned that his mother had reported Zhong Yi, after all various parents would say some related things at home, and children who heard some would go say them at school.
Many children had already isolated Yan Ziyou, feeling his mother had done wrong.
In class, Yan Ziyou no longer raised his hand to answer questions. He felt very wronged, why should he bear the consequences of his mother's actions.
He looked at his classmates around him, his heart full of dejection. "Before, everyone played together, now they all ignore me," he muttered softly.
One day, Yan Ziyou could no longer bear it, and said to Tian Yulan, "Mom, why did you report Teacher Zhang? The classmates all ignore me."
Tian Yulan did not take it to heart. "So what if they ignore you? Just study well, don't mind them." Yan Ziyou sighed helplessly and continued to do his homework with his head down.
That day, sunlight streamed through the coffee shop's glass windows onto the table, and Tian Yulan was having afternoon tea with a group of "Rocket Group" parents again.
This coffee shop had an elegant environment and soothing music, a place where they often gathered.
Tian Yulan sat by the window, a faint smile on her face, as if she had forgotten the previous unpleasantness.
Although some parents knew about Tian Yulan's matter, everyone still gave her some face, and after a few days no one mentioned anything. Everyone sipped coffee and pastries while chatting about their children's studies and lives.
One parent suddenly said, "Do you know? I met a director from Hanlin Middle School a couple of days ago, newly promoted this year, and he told me some inside news." Her voice drew the attention of the other parents, and everyone looked at her curiously.
Speaking to this point, that parent suddenly stopped speaking, and the others curiously asked her what the news was.
"Hurry up and say it, stop keeping us in suspense," another parent urged.
Seeing that she had whetted several people's appetites, she said: "Although Hanlin Middle School's admissions ultimately look at grades, if a child has served as a class cadre, there are invisible bonus points. You all should quickly think of ways to get them to be some kind of class cadre or such; it definitely won't hurt."
The other parents, upon hearing this, were half-believing and half-doubting.
Previously, these parents had always looked down on class cadres, feeling that if a child had that energy, they might as well do a few more problems, and as for class cadres, it was purely a thankless task.
"Is it true or false? Can class cadres have invisible bonus points?" one parent questioned.
"I also feel it's not very likely, shouldn't school admissions look only at grades?" another parent echoed.
The parent who revealed the news hurriedly said, "Why would I lie to you? The director himself told me personally. And you think about it, children who can be class cadres definitely have advantages in leadership ability, organizational ability, and so on. Such children generally take the initiative to study, mature earlier, and the school will definitely give them priority consideration."
Tian Yulan heard this and was moved. She thought of Yan Ziyou; if he could become a class cadre, it might help him enter Hanlin Middle School even more.
"Then we must quickly think of ways to get our children to become class cadres," Tian Yulan said.
"But how can we get our children to become class cadres?" one parent asked.
"Why don't we go talk to the teachers?" another parent suggested.
Everyone discussed in a clamor of voices, and the atmosphere instantly became lively. Tian Yulan fell into deep thought, thinking about how to fight for a class cadre position for Yan Ziyou.
Now Zhong Yi served as Yan Ziyou's class teacher; going to find him was certainly not realistic, and Tian Yulan could not bring herself to lower her face.
She thought it over and over, and thus thought of Zhang Xue'er. In Tian Yulan's view, Teacher Zhang Xue'er belonged to the type who was kind and easily bullied, and was easier to talk to. So the next day, Tian Yulan dressed herself up carefully and came to the school.
During the afternoon little guardian class, today it was Zhang Xue'er and Song Jie's turn to be on duty; Zhong Yi was not there today because normal school students came to see him.
The campus was filled with a tranquil atmosphere, and children's soft conversation occasionally came from the classroom.
Tian Yulan came with her bag to the door of Grade 5 Class 1. She stood in the corridor, looked left and right, and then softly called out Zhang Xue'er's name from outside.
Zhang Xue'er was tutoring students with their homework in the classroom. Hearing someone call her, she came out with a face full of doubt. Seeing Tian Yulan, she slightly furrowed her brow and said, "Zi You's mom, why did you come? Yan Ziyou has already been picked up by his grandparents."
Tian Yulan hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said, "Teacher Zhang, I'm not here to look for Zi You. I have something I want to talk to you about."
Zhang Xue'er was even more doubtful and asked, "What is it?"
Tian Yulan looked around, lowered her voice, and said, "Teacher Zhang, can we find a quiet place to talk?"
Zhang Xue'er hesitated for a moment and said, "Alright, let's go to the office."
