Quick Travel: Who taught you how to attack villains like this?

In the corridor, Yu Yan followed the head of grade while looking down at the student information in her hand.

Seeing how serious she was, the head teacher laughed and said, "Teacher Yu, you can take your time to read it later when you have time! There's no rush. You won't be able to remember it if you read it now!"

Yu Yan raised her head and smiled, "It's okay, I'm just taking a look."

Seeing her like this, the head teacher just let her do as she pleased and stopped talking.

He personally took Yu Yan to the door of International (9) Class, and then said to her earnestly: "Teacher Yu, if you have any difficulties in the future, come to me! If you really can't manage the students, don't get angry and come to us to report the situation."

He prayed silently in his heart, please don't resign!

Yu Yan smiled and nodded, and replied: "Well, OK, thank you Director."

The head teacher breathed a sigh of relief, a satisfied smile on his face, nodded slightly, and said in a gentle tone: "Then you go in! I'll leave first."

After saying this, he turned around without hesitation and left with brisk steps, as if he had put down a heavy stone.

Yu Yan stood there quietly, watching the head of the grade walk away until his figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.

She looked up, glanced at the sign that read International Class (9), smiled slightly, and walked into the classroom.

She walked to the podium, stood firmly, slowly scanned the classroom, and couldn't help sighing in her heart.

There are too many problem students in this class.

The bell for class had already rung, but the classroom was still in chaos.

Some students were concentrating on playing games, some were sleeping on the table, some girls were concentrating on putting on makeup, and some were even eating snacks openly... They seemed to be completely immersed in their own world and turned a blind eye to the teacher standing on the podium.

The smile on Yu Yan's lips was still raised, and the curve seemed to be fixed, without any change.

She walked leisurely to the podium, picked up a piece of chalk, and wrote her name in a flamboyant manner - Yu Yan.

After writing, she threw the chalk aside, making a crisp sound.

Then she tapped the table gently, trying to get the students' attention.

However, this action did not have any effect. The students continued to do as they pleased and no one paid any attention to her.

Yu Yan smiled, with a playful look in her smile.

Her eyes swept across the classroom and finally landed on a mop in the corner.

She walked over slowly, took the mop in her hand, and gently bent it. With a "click", the mop handle broke.

She returned to the podium, holding the broken mop handle in her hand, knocked hard on the table, and said coldly: "Now, can you be quiet?"

Suddenly, the classroom fell silent.

In fact, the classroom had become quiet since she broke the mop.

Although these students pretended to ignore the new teacher, they were actually observing her secretly.

After all, the arrival of the new head teacher made them curious and wary.

They thought the new head teacher would be a weak and vulnerable person, so they deliberately showed indifference and uncooperative attitude in order to give her a warning.

But I didn't expect that this woman who looked so beautiful and weak was actually so strong that she broke the mop easily.

My God! Looking at her like this, it’s easier for her to break a mop than for them to break Wangwang crushed ice.

Yu Yan looked at the quiet classroom, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "I am Yu Yan, your new head teacher and your math teacher. I hope we can get along well in the future."

The students in the classroom looked at her and didn't know what to say for a moment.

They were all children who had grown up in a warm environment, and suddenly they saw that the new teacher was so fierce. For some reason, they felt a little scared.

I could only stare at Yu Yan stupidly, unable to utter a word.

However, Yu Yan did not require any response from the students in the classroom.

She said in a calm but firm voice: "Who is the monitor of your Grade 1 class? Please raise your hands so I can see."

There was silence in the classroom and no one raised their hand immediately.

After a while, a handsome boy wearing glasses slowly raised his hand and stood up.

The boy looked very shy, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

His eyes are clear and bright, revealing a calm and restrained temperament.

Yu Yan noticed that when she walked into the classroom, only this boy remained quiet and focused on the book in his hand.

When she walked into the classroom and stood on the podium, he was the only one who looked up at her, but the boy's classmate suddenly nudged him with his elbow, motioning him to sit down.

The boy frowned slightly, seeming a little reluctant, but still followed the advice of his deskmate, lowered his head again and continued to concentrate on reading.

Now he heard Yu Yan calling his name, and then he stood up tremblingly.

When Yu Yan was looking through the information just now, she memorized all the students' names.

She knew that the boy's name was Du Zhaohua and his father was the secretary of the chairman of Fang Group.

According to common sense, Du Zhaohua should be assigned to the experimental class, but because Chairman Fang wanted someone to take care of his grandson in school, Du Zhaohua came to the international class.

Yu Yan looked at him with a gentle smile on her face and trust in her eyes. She said slowly, "Since you were the class monitor in your freshman year, you should continue to be the class monitor in your sophomore year! I believe you have the ability to lead the class to a better future."

When Du Zhaohua heard this, he replied seriously: "Okay, thank you, teacher."

Yu Yan smiled and nodded, motioning him to sit down.

Du Zhaohua listened to her and sat down obediently, but he might not be able to do the duties of the squad leader.

After all, no one in the whole class listened to him.

However, at this moment, a boy sitting in the last row sneered. The sound was not loud, but it was loud enough for the whole class to hear clearly.

He said in a mocking tone: "Oh, you flatterer."

When Yu Yan heard this, her expression instantly became serious, and her sharp eyes shot directly at the boy.

The boy felt Yu Yan's gaze and shuddered involuntarily. When he looked into her eyes, he actually felt an invisible pressure.

He had never thought that the new head teacher would be so sharp, and was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Just when the boy was feeling nervous, Yu Yan spoke up, her voice calm and powerful: "Do you know where the term sycophant comes from?"

Her eyes were fixed on the boy, as if she could see through his heart.

The boy stood up unconsciously when she looked at him and swallowed his saliva, "...I, I...this..."

He hesitated for a long time but didn't say anything.

Yu Yan retracted her gaze and said word by word: "The word 'bootlicker' is used in modern Chinese to describe people who are good at flattery and bootlicking, and it has a derogatory meaning.

This behavior is often seen as a way of flattering others in order to gain benefits or improve one's own status.

The word was first mentioned in an article in the Liberation Daily in 1989, along with words such as "a flatterer, not doing his job properly". After that, it became known to the general public and widely used.
