312 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System

Chapter 312: The Recognized Su Teacher As the bell rang, the parent-teacher meeting finally began properly. Su Qi owed this smooth control over the meeting flow to Zijin's wife, the student council president and master tactician. Su Qi introduced herself to the parents and then started discussing the academic performance trends of Class 212 students. Historically, Class 212 had always ranked at the bottom, and their continued decline in performance reflected an attitude problem. Su Qi, however, refrained from criticizing the students for any lack of ambition. Since joining the class, she noticed how genuinely kind these students were, and they had begun to apply themselves to their studies recently. If compared to the 'Class One' of her high school days, Su Qi found herself preferring Class 212. Affection is an emotion that cannot be easily concealed, and Su Qi is not someone who hides her feelings. Parents were hearing such sincere praises of their children from "Su Teacher" for the first time in years, and honestly, it touched them. While happy, Su Teacher's positive feedback also shifted the parents' mindset, prompting them to desire their children to become outstanding as well. After Su Qi's speech, a parent raised a hand and asked, "Su Teacher, based on what you said, do you have any methods to help improve the children's grades?" This question did not surprise Su Qi because academic performance is a primary concern for parents. After a moment of thought, Su Qi replied, "I will do my utmost to support the students of Class 212." Hearing this, the parents felt a bit skeptical, thinking it might be mere rhetoric. Little did they expect that Su Teacher had more to say. "I will always accompany the students in class. If parents agree, I will apply to the school to lead the two-hour evening self-study sessions daily. Although I'm an English teacher, I also have some knowledge of the sciences. This way, students can ask me questions directly to save time and energy." After Su Teacher's words, all the parents thought this teacher seemed quite competent. Wouldn't that mean being in the class all day? Plus six days of evening self-study a week. Initially, some parents doubted Su Teacher due to her limited experience, but after this statement, they started to see her as dedicated, genuinely concerned about Class 212. The students of Class 212, hearing this news, felt even more grateful towards Su Teacher. Although, during her first lecture, "Su Teacher" promised to always be there with them for classes, and she had already demonstrated the truth of her words through her actions. Hearing Su Teacher dedicating her evenings to them moved them. As students, they knew how tough it was to sit down for an entire day. But the fact that Su Teacher was willing to use her free time to tutor them made them suppress any emerging reluctance to study. Principal Su Wei Yi, observing the silent audience below the podium, realized his sister was indeed impressive. He could see that the parents and even the mischievous students of Class 212 acknowledged Su Qi. However, one couldn't deny that his sister's commitment was remarkable. Frankly speaking, if he were the class teacher, he wouldn't dare commit to six evenings of self-study sessions weekly! Nevertheless, the results were evidently positive. Su Qi, seeing no objections from the parents below, continued: "To be honest, this is my first time teaching, and I lack experience. I don't even have a teaching qualification certificate, but parents and students, please be assured, I will work very hard to teach every student!" The parents attending the meeting were already informed about Su Qi's situation. Furthermore, she had previously communicated these details over the phone. Therefore, the parents had no major concerns. Though they weren't certain about Su Teacher's teaching abilities, from her words, they could gauge if she was a good teacher. As for the teaching certificate, they were not overly concerned, having mostly been in managerial positions themselves. Certificates didn't represent everything. Their primary concern was Su Teacher's ability. At this point, a parent raised a hand and said, "Su Teacher, we can see your determination, but if you lead evening self-study sessions daily, does that mean you have to tackle problems from all subjects?" Zhang Yishu's dad, who just asked the question, was immediately stepped on by Zhang Yishu. Her parent's actions were somewhat counterproductive. Su Qi was not particularly surprised by this. Since she dared to say so, she naturally had the corresponding capability. After pondering for a moment, she responded, "Yishu's dad, along with all other parents, you're welcome to find any high school topic, and I'll solve it for you on the spot. How about that?" Hearing Su Qi's confident words, the parents suddenly felt this teacher was quite self-assured! Wouldn't it be embarrassing if she couldn't answer? In reality, there was no chance for Su Qi to be embarrassed. Not to mention her high IQ that would find high school topics scarcely challenging. Even if she couldn't answer, it wouldn't be a problem — she wasn't alone, after all. She had the system to assist her! After answering several consecutive questions from Yishu's father almost instantly, the parents finally relaxed. It seemed that this Su Teacher indeed had some talent, improving their impression of her. At this moment, Xiao Xiaoxiao's parent, Xiao Jinyu, raised his hand and posed a somewhat more direct question: "Su Teacher certainly seems capable, but how can we be sure of your teaching abilities?" Hearing her parent speak, Xiao Xiaoxiao angrily pouted. Su Qi was nearly amused by Xiao Xiaoxiao's expression, though she disguised it well with her quick reaction. In fact, Su Qi had already considered the issue raised by Xiao Xiaoxiao's parent first. And she had a novel plan regarding it. Currently, Su Qi still owed a promise to sell ten thousand live sessions, which remained unfulfilled. She felt too embarrassed to conduct one solely by herself. Recalling how Shen Meng could stream herself eating, Su Qi wondered if she could stream the classroom's daily activities. First, it would fulfill the previous commitment she had made. Second, parents would see their children's classroom behavior and provide constructive feedback. Third, she genuinely cherished this class and wanted to record this precious time. To that end, she even consulted Su Wei Yi, who agreed with the idea. After thinking it over, Su Qi shared her idea, (of course without mentioning her promise about streaming) and concluded, "If all parents and students agree, I will apply to the school." Su Qi emphasized the word "all," indicating she would cancel the initiative if even one person disagreed. Upon hearing Su Teacher's words, noting they could observe their children's classroom behavior and provide feedback through a stream, parents didn't strongly oppose it. After all, who would watch a mere classroom study stream? Classes were boring. Besides them, parents figured no one else would waste time watching. Moreover, if it were streamed, wouldn't it make their children more conscious of embarrassing themselves and thus focus more on learning? After considering this, parents withheld objections. Male students of Class 212 found Su Teacher's streaming suggestion intriguing. They understood Su Teacher's popularity better than the parents and had all joined Su Qi's game chat group. Imagining their peers expressing envy about having the teacher as a group leader, the boys felt excited about the prospect of streaming. No one raised objections. Contrasting the boys, girls from Class 212 refrained from joining the gaming group. Nevertheless, they didn't strongly oppose the stream. When Su Teacher arrived in Class 212 on the first day, a girl secretly snapped a photo of her speaking from the platform and shared it online. The post became more popular. Because Class 212 girls didn't usually study much during free time, they'd regularly check social media, quickly spotting the post. In the past few days, they took numerous beautiful photos of Su Teacher teaching and studying in profile. Because of this, they amassed a lot of followers. Now, if streaming were implemented, wouldn't their social media accounts gain even more traction? Additionally, most importantly — girls are sentimental beings. Reflecting on these past few days of Su Teacher's presence and care, along with her recent remark about wanting to chronicle life in Class 212, the female students found the idea rather appealing. However, there was one crucial matter that, as girls, they needed to address. Wang Ying raised her hand and asked the critical question: "Su Teacher, will the livestream have beauty filters?"
