Chapter 54: The Price of Skipping Class
With the grand opening of its first store, Sunday Supermarket has once again been pushed to the forefront and become the hottest topic in Anping City!
Although people had heard of this so-called supermarket before, at that time it was only a cognitive understanding based on advertising language. As batch after batch of customers talked about their shopping experiences in the streets and alleys, more and more people came to visit.
As Mo Shaokun had expected, after the initial golden period of a few days, the supermarket's sales gradually declined. Although every day was still crowded with people, everyone's consumption became more rational and no longer had the frenzy of the initial rush to buy.
Anyway, supermarkets are just here and can't run away. In the future, when something is lacking, come and buy it. Why bother buying so much at once? This is what most consumers think nowadays.
A few days ago, Qin Xuan set off for Kyoto and selected three suitable locations from the options found by her friends. The decoration team has already started working on them. Meanwhile, Anping has also been busy, with the Nanxing store, Qiao Bei store, and Longhu store all starting their renovations.
With the experience of the first store, it will be much easier to do it again. It is expected that within a month, six stores in Anping and Kyoto will open simultaneously! The membership system will also be officially launched at the same time!
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the expansion plan, Qin Xuan has made a huge investment this time. Not only did she take out all her liquid funds, but also mortgaged all her assets under her name to the bank in exchange for tens of millions of loans. In addition, she borrowed a lot from friends.
Qin Xuan and Zhang Xiaodong were busy with a burning headache, Mo Shaokun also felt embarrassed to slack off. No matter what, he had a share in this, it was not right to let others work hard while he enjoyed the benefits.
So, for the past few days, Mo Shaokun had been focusing all his energy on the branch store. Except for Teacher Liu's class, he would skip or escape from any other classes that he could.
It's said that if you walk on the night road often enough, you'll eventually see a ghost. Just as Mo Shao Kun was preparing to skip class and sneak away again, he was called into the office by Liu Xuanxuan.
"Tell me, what have you been busy with lately?" Liu Juanjuan sat on the chair, tapping her fingers rhythmically on the armrest while looking at Mo Shaokun and asking in a light tone.
Mo Shaokun was speechless, and he also knew that he had indeed gone a bit too far.
"It's only been eleven days since the official start of school, and you've already missed thirty-seven classes! And that's not even counting the ones where Chen Hai and Xu Jie covered for you without the teacher noticing! Mo Shaokun, don't you think you owe me an explanation?" Liu Juanjuan picked up a few sheets of paper and waved them around before slapping them down on the office desk.
Mo Shaokun let out a bitter laugh and raised his head to look at Liu Juanjuan, saying: "Teacher Liu, if you want to hit me, hit me. If you want to punish me, punish me. I admit it."
Liu Xuanxuan's eyebrows slightly raised in surprise, she had thought that Mo Shaokun would make up some lies to fool her, but unexpectedly he was so straightforward and didn't explain anything, just waiting for her to decide what to do with him. Such a student is really rare.
Staring at Mo Shaokun for a long time, Liu Juanjuan finally said: "Originally, I was going to report your performance to the college, but since you didn't try to lie and deceive, I can give you another chance. There are still three days before the welcoming party of the Institute of Engineering, but so far, our class has only reported two programs, which is one less than the standard of three programs per class. Do you understand what I mean?"
Mo Shaokun stared blankly at Liu Juanjuan, and after a moment, he dryly laughed and said: "Liu... Teacher Liu, you wouldn't be thinking of having me go up there to perform a program, would you?"
"You can do it yourself or find someone to help you, I just need the result."
It seems that Mo Shaokun wants to refuse, but Liu Juanjuan pushed her gold-rimmed glasses and continued: "Either I hand over these materials to the hospital leaders, or complete my task. There is no third choice."
Mo Shaokun's face suddenly looked a bit ugly, threatening! Naked threats! With his own serious truancy record, if it were to be reported to the school leaders, he might be kicked out of school, which is not impossible.
Looking at Liu Xuanxuan again, his eyes had some changes. This woman was not only cold in appearance, but also cold in heart! No! Not just cold in heart, it should be ruthless!
"My time is limited, you have three minutes to consider." Liu Juanjuan ignored Mo Shaokun's resentful gaze and glanced at the delicate ladies' watch on her wrist.
"Teacher Liu, but I really can't perform this program."
"Two more minutes."
"Can't we change to another way of punishment? Let me do anything, but performing a program... this is really too difficult for me."
There is still one and a half minutes left.
“……”
Mo Shaokun was helpless, the beautiful teacher in front of him really didn't have any temper at all. He had finally entered university and didn't want to be driven out so early. Alright, he admitted defeat, it's true that when you're under someone's roof, you can't help but lower your head.
He let out a wry laugh and said: "Alright, you win!"
"Uh-huh, submit the program to me before the welcoming party. From now on, I don't want to hear any more news about your truancy. You can leave now." Liu Juanjuan said with a still expression and waved her hand.
It wasn't until Mo Shaokun left the office that Liu Juan finally let out a long sigh of relief, having finally put one thing to rest.
Every year's welcoming party at Andover is hosted by each academy itself, but even so, shouldn't an academy have at least a thousand people? Some larger academies even have several thousand!
It's really embarrassing to go up on stage in front of so many people without any impressive skills.
Originally, the three programs in our class were already complete, but unexpectedly, two days ago at the welcoming party of the College of Literature and History, a male student was forced off the stage because his performance was too boring.
With this lesson learned from others' mistakes, the brave but incompetent hero in our class who originally wanted to make a name for himself at the welcoming party chose to retreat.
Actually, the three performances per class are not set in stone, it's just that over the years, most of them have been like this and gradually formed a tradition. If it were to be changed to another teacher, if there really aren't enough performances, they wouldn't force the students either. Students' main task is still learning, as for other aspects, do your best.
Ke Liu was different, she was a strong-willed woman. At a young age, she enjoyed the treatment of an associate professor, which caused a lot of controversy in school. Some people doubted her ability, and some even spread some very unfavorable rumors about her in private.
Don't look at Liu Juan's usual appearance, pretending to be nonchalant, but she is just a twenty-something girl after all, how could she really not care?
But she knew that some things were useless to say, so she had to use actual actions to prove herself! The class she was in charge of not only had to have good grades, but also couldn't fall behind others in all other aspects! Only then could she use facts to slap those rumor-mongers in the face!
