Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Holiday and Bonus

"Watch your words!"

Jiang Cheng shouted loudly, his eyes as sharp as a blade, sending a chill down one’s spine while also instilling fear.

"Teacher Yang, let me make it clear to you, we as parents accept that our Shen Yue isn’t doing well in her studies."

"Moreover, just because Shen Yue doesn’t score well doesn’t mean she has any character issues."

"In fact, she gets along well with classmates, cherishes her friends, has her own interests, and works hard for her dreams."

"Wearing good clothes is only because our family can afford it. What seems flashy to you is normal in our home."

"What you see as a big issue is trivial to us. Please refrain from using personal bias to critique a student in public!"

Jiang Cheng enunciated each word clearly and forcefully.

The parent who strongly agreed with her clapped and cheered directly after she finished speaking.

"Well said!"

Her son wasn’t doing well in school either, but he is kind and straightforward, not at all as "bad" as the teacher claimed.

Teacher Yang across from them was furious, her eyebrows knitted together.

"Fine, now I see why Shen Yue is the way she is, it’s because parents like you are enabling her!"

"Being a student who doesn’t study well is a mistake! It’s shameful to keep making excuses for it. I’ve seen it all today."

Jiang Cheng’s fists were clenched.

If it weren’t for Shen Que holding her back, she would have slapped her by now.

Jiang Cheng let out a cold laugh, staring at Teacher Yang opposite her.

"How can someone like you become a teacher? Narrow-minded, short-sighted, stubborn; I’d even be hesitant to have you guard my house!"

"I rarely use authority to oppress, but Teacher Yang, you should consider yourself lucky because you’re the first!"

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, Teacher Yang was unaffected, thinking her moral compass was unyielding.

"Being wealthy makes you impressive! Let me tell you, I stand upright and fear nothing!"

Jiang Cheng scoffed disdainfully.

"Stop tainting the phrase with your false righteousness. You don’t even understand human language; I have no desire to communicate with you."

Jiang Cheng turned to leave, as Teacher Yang scoffed dismissively, "Have to leave when you’re guilty, huh."

"You better shut up, Yang. I might stop my wife from hitting you, but I won’t stop myself."

Shen Que’s hawk-like gaze locked on Teacher Yang, an aura of having weathered bloody battles, silencing Teacher Yang entirely.

Shen Que gave her a mocking smile, then left with Jiang Cheng.

The parent who had been watching called out loudly to Teacher Yang, "My son is a good kid!"

"Grades aren’t the only measure of a student!"

"Chen Shimei had good grades but still got punished by Bao Zheng!"

After shouting this in one breath, the parent proudly turned and walked out with head held high.

At the doorway, she saw her foolish son looking touched and smacked him on the head.

"Why are you crying? Just because I said that doesn’t mean you’re free now! You still need to study!"

"Mom——"

"Don’t ’Mom’ me!"

The woman turned her head and walked away.

The surrounding students, quite lively, along with some nearby teachers, held back their laughter, looking at Teacher Yang with meaningful glances.

Some teachers silently critiqued: serves you right!

Always criticizing anyone who dresses well, including teachers.

Whenever a teacher dressed nicely, she’d remind them to focus on teaching.

Yet you dress plainly and haven’t shown better teaching results either.

Teacher Yang, fuming inside the classroom, called the students back, but even after several minutes, there was no sign of Shen Yue.

"Where is Shen Yue!"

Shen Yue’s deskmate, the little girl who borrowed books from Jiang Cheng’s house, stood up straight.

"Teacher, Shen Yue’s parents took her home fearing you’d retaliate against her."

After speaking, the little girl sat back down. The entire class was shaking their shoulders, trying not to laugh, holding it in painfully.

Teacher Yang on the podium was angry, but recalling the girl’s father was in the education department, she swallowed her frustration.

On the other hand, Shen Yue, with Jiang Cheng and Shen Que, stood talking under a tree at the school.

Jiang Cheng recounted exactly what had happened to Shen Yue.

"Yue Yue, what do you want to do?"

"We can change classes, schools, teachers, whatever you want."

Shen Yue said nothing initially, hugging Jiang Cheng like coaxing a child, "Sister-in-law, relax, relax, I don’t care about Teacher Yang."

Jiang Cheng was amused by Shen Yue’s antics and affectionately asked, "Does she bully you often?"

"Not at all! I’m your personally trained Shen the Warrior Yue, and my deskmate’s dad works in the education department; she’s scared to meddle with us."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng got angrier.

"If she were truly honorable, I might admire her slightly, but now... let’s have her removed."

Shen Yue smiled brightly, nodding, "Okay, let’s have her removed! My classmates will thank me."

With decisions made, Shen Yue didn’t return to class. The school was on winter break.

As for Teacher Yang’s issue, a single word from Jiang Cheng and she’d be transferred from Shen Yue’s class.

Shen Yue and Shen Xing had both started their holidays, with the New Year just days away.

This year, the New Year came especially early, so Jiang Cheng, being a good boss, decided to give her employees a holiday too.

On the last working day, Jiang Cheng sat steadily in the large meeting room, where all the employees in Beijing were present.

Jiang Cheng stood on the platform, behind her a large red cloth covering something.

"We’re starting our holiday this afternoon, and coming back to work on the tenth day of the lunar new year."

"Another year has passed, the company’s performance keeps rising. I’ve made money, so you all deserve a taste of meat soup."

"So, let’s cut to the chase——"

Jiang Cheng swiftly pulled down the red cloth, revealing stacks of cash neatly arranged behind her.

"Dispense the money!"

Jiang Cheng’s words about dispensing money brought cheers from all the employees below.

What could be a better benefit than this!!

There absolutely isn’t any!

From top to bottom, everyone received two extra months’ salary and a 300 yuan New Year’s bonus.

In the ’80s, 300 yuan was a significant amount.

A group of people happily collected their money, except for one person who wasn’t happy.

Li Chunxiang.

Li Chunxiang was counting the money in her hand, mumbling: Why did I choose accounting!

It was all Jiang Cheng’s persuasion!

Darn it, Jiang Cheng planned this from the start?

The grumbling Li Chunxiang finally finished distributing the money, leaving just her and Jiang Cheng in the large meeting room.

Jiang Cheng, faced with the resentful Li Chunxiang, felt a little guilty.

It’s said that to wrap up the accounts for the year-end, Li Chunxiang hadn’t been home for several days.

Even feeding her child required her own mother to bring the child over.

Eventually, they just switched to baby formula.

"Um... Comrade Li Chunxiang, your bonus is the largest."

Li Chunxiang remained unmoved.

"After the New Year, you can hire anyone to help you with work?"

Li Chunxiang stirred a little.

"After the New Year, when it’s not as busy, you can take a break, as long as you want."

Li Chunxiang took the bonus, swayed her hips, hummed at Jiang Cheng, and went home to celebrate the New Year!
