Shi Mingwei's face turned cold instantly! His eyes were cold! "Which teacher told you that and why?" Shi Mingwei showed a calmness that was inconsistent with his age.
After hearing his words, Ling Xiaowei calmed down inexplicably, and a glimmer of hope and expectation arose in her heart. Maybe Shi Mingwei would be able to do something!
"The director said that I am not old enough and I have to repeat the grade for two years until I am old enough to go to junior high school." Ling Xiaowei repeated what the director told her today.
Everyone looked surprised. Jiang Haidong said in confusion: "Xiaowei, how old are you this year?"
"Eleven" Ling Xiaowei said.
"Ah! You're only eleven! You're three years younger than me!" Qiaodandan said in surprise. She always thought Xiaowei was about the same age as her! It turns out she's so young.
Wow! Looking at Ling Xiaowei again, Jordan Dan suddenly felt that Ling Xiaowei was so small and cute! A cute little sister, but what should she do about this matter?
There was silence for a while, then Shi Mingwei said: "There has never been a student who had to repeat a grade because of his or her age. What kind of shabby school dares to go beyond the Education Bureau and set such a rule!"
"What you said is true!" Ling Xiaowei said excitedly. Although she had the experience of the previous life, she didn't know much about policies. If what Shi Mingwei said was true, then she could follow
The director worked hard.
"Of course it's true. There is a buddy in our college who went to college at the age of fourteen. Do you believe it?" Shi Mingwei raised his eyebrows slightly with a smirk on his face. But Ling Xiaowei believed that what he said was true.
"You are really awesome, buddy!" Jiang Haidong gave Shi Mingwei a thumbs up.
"Don't worry! I'll accompany you to find the director tomorrow." Shi Mingwei looked very responsible, with some comfort in his tone.
Ling Xiaowei smiled, I hope so!
After returning, Ling Xiaowei never mentioned the matter. After dinner, she went back to her room.
Ling Guoqiang felt something was wrong, so he walked to the door of Ling Xiaowei's room and asked about it. Ling Xiaowei said it was okay and dismissed him.
The next day, as soon as the morning self-study was over, Shi Mingwei took Ling Xiaowei to the teacher's office. At this moment, there were three or four teachers in the teacher's office, including the principal, and of course the director he was looking for was also there.
The two walked to the director's desk. The director was drinking tea and reading the newspaper. Suddenly he saw the two people arriving at her desk. He raised his glasses with his hands and asked curiously: "Are you looking for me?"
Ling Xiaowei was about to speak when Shi Mingwei stood next to him and stood a step forward: "Hello, director, I have something to ask you. I heard that you asked Ling Xiaowei to repeat the grade. Is there any paper explanation or official document?
Well!"
"Who are you? What is your relationship with Ling Xiaowei?" The director looked displeased and looked at Shi Mingwei with an inquisitive and unhappy look in his eyes.
"I'm her brother!" Shi Mingwei said bluntly, his handsome eyebrows slightly raised.
Ling Xiaowei lowered her head and couldn't help complaining in her heart, "What! How can you say that? Just call me in private. How can you say this to the teacher?"
The director is a woman in her forties, wearing a black suit. She usually has a straight face, very old-fashioned and serious. When she heard Shi Mingwei say that he was Ling Xiaowei's brother, she frowned and spoke in a long tone.
He asked, "Brother?"
"No." Shi Mingwei replied.
"Ling Xiaowei, what's going on?" The director looked serious, and his eyes changed when he looked at Ling Xiaowei, she looked like an old witch in a storybook.
Ling Xiaowei thought bad, the director's expression couldn't be that he suspected that she was having a date outside, right?
"Director, he is my cousin! My cousin!" Ling Xiaowei said quickly, clearing the relationship, the most important thing is that it is convenient for Shi Mingwei to have such a good cousin like her.
"Oh!" The director's face softened a little, and he raised his glasses and said, "Your sister is too young to go to junior high school. Won't it be the same in two years?"
"It's different!" Shi Mingwei said straight back, looking at the director in front of him with cold eyes.
He was now sure that the director was deliberately trying to embarrass Ling Xiaowei, and he didn't know how this little girl offended the director.
"Which class are you in? How can you talk to the teacher like this? There are no rules at all!" the director said angrily, his voice a little louder.
The teachers next to them all looked over, and a female teacher asked, "Director, what's wrong?"
"Is nothing wrong?" the director said casually.
"Ling Xiaowei, this matter is not my decision alone, it is the decision of the higher-ups. Although there is no written material, it is clearly stated that those who are not old enough are not allowed to be promoted." The director said in a very strong tone, "It's nothing.
It’s okay, just go back to class!”
As soon as the director finished speaking, the class bell rang!
Ling Xiaowei's heart sank, there was no hope!
Completely hopeless!
Ling Xiaowei turned around and walked back! Shi Mingwei grabbed her wrist and said, "The matter hasn't been resolved yet, why are you leaving?"
"Director, there is no law that says that those who fail to meet the annual standards will not be allowed to go to higher education. There is no law in the city. I have a brother who went to college at the age of fourteen. Tell me, why is this? You don't want to go to school today.
Give me an explanation. I'll take my cousin to the town's cultural and educational office in a moment. If you can't go to the town, you can go to the county seat. If you can't go to the county seat, you can also go to the city. I want to find a place where we can give us an explanation!" Shi Mingwei spoke eloquently.
Said very forcefully.
Ling Xiaowei was shocked. She looked up at Shi Mingwei and felt that he was glowing. Looking at him from this height and position, she felt that he had the most beautiful profile in the world.
The director's face was very ugly. She didn't expect that this kid would dare to say such a thing. He was threatening her! She...she was really scared! If the complaint was really brought to the town's cultural and educational office, then she, the director, would
Stop thinking about it.
"Classmate, don't be excited! The teacher is doing this for the benefit of Ling. She will study for two more years and lay a solid foundation. This will also be helpful for her future studies in junior high school!" The director is preparing to implement a gentle policy, and is old-fashioned and mean.
His face became kind and cheerful.
"Teacher, I ranked second in the class in this test! My foundation is very good!" Ling Xiaowei said.
The director's face changed slightly! She had never seen Ling Xiaowei's results, and she didn't expect them to be so good.
What to do now?
The director had a troubled look on his face, as if he didn't know what to do.
"Hey! Why are you two in the office? You are both in class!" A shout suddenly came from outside the door.
The principal is here!
Ling Xiaowei is still a little afraid of the principal. She has been whipped many times.
"Hello principal!" Ling Xiaowei and Shi Mingwei shouted at the same time.
"Well! Why don't you two go to self-study? What do you want to do with the director?" Wang Kaiqing asked in confusion.
