Chapter 263 Whether to Participate or Not
The news that the Hacker Alliance had exclusively released to the Duncan Corporation was indeed not ordinary news. Branden had wanted this chip for a long time and had been waiting for news to be released on the market.
If there were any rumors, no matter how much the cost, he would take the exclusive rights. Hacker Alliance, one of the largest chip bases in the world, actually took the initiative to release news to the Duncan Corporation, which was indeed unusual.
“Paxton, arrange for Carlo to come back.”
Paxton understood Branden’s intention. Branden wanted to put Carlo Duncan in charge of this matter. “Okay, I’ll contact Carlo immediately!”
If Carlo was in charge of this matter, Paxton could rest assured. Otherwise, he worried he might not have enough energy to handle it.
As Paxton was about to leave, he seemed to remember something and suddenly turned around to Branden again.
“Mr. Duncan, do you think it could be related to Miss Swann?” Although they were not sure what Catherine’s relationship with the Hacker Alliance was, since she knew Joseph, she must have a connection with it. Just as he finished speaking, before Branden could respond, Paxton denied himself.
“It should not be possible. After all, the matter about chips is important, and only the Hacker Alliance’s decision- makers can make this decision!”
Branden remained silent throughout the process, his gaze coldly examining the document Paxton had handed him. At the end of class, the homeroom teacher of Class 8 suddenly went to the class looking for Catherine.
“Catherine, come out for a minute!”
Ronin and Bryan looked at Catherine with concern, wondering what the homeroom teacher suddenly wanted from her.
Catherine, however, stood up gracefully and dragged her body lazily along with the homeroom teacher to the office.
After the homeroom teacher handed Catherine a chair, Catherine sat down immediately. She lazily leaned back in the chair with a very dominant posture.
It just so happened that the homeroom teacher of Class 7 also walked in and recognized Catherine immediately. Since the last celebration gala, no one would not recognize Catherine, the popular figure of Loyalty Academy.
Unlike others, the homeroom teacher of Class 7 did not like Catherine. She had long heard about Catherine’s deeds and knew Catherine slept daily during class and led a group of students in playful distractions.
Most importantly, since Catherine’s appearance, Class 8 had stolen all the limelight from Class 7. The homeroom teacher of Class 7 had a lot of grievances about this.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the office, she saw Catherine sitting lazily on the chair without paying attention to her homeroom teacher.
The homeroom teacher of Class 7 immediately became angry. She looked at the homeroom teacher of Class 8 and said sarcastically, “Miss Joyce, you have such a good temper. You don’t get angry even if some students are so arrogant in front of you!”
Hearing this, Catherine had an expressionless face and didn’t care.
The face of the homeroom teacher of Class 8 sank. However, there were a lot of grudges between her and the homeroom teacher of Class 7, and she didn’t make any direct attacks considering their colleagues’ relationship.
Catherine and her homeroom teacher’s silence did not make the homeroom teacher of Class 7 stop being sarcastic but instead made her even more arrogant.
She sarcastically told Catherine, ” There are all kinds of students nowadays. Some students don’t even have the right sitting or standing posture and come to school to sleep all day long. This type of student is a typical black sheep. What’s the use of keeping such students?”
What she said was extremely unpleasant. Just as Catherine was about to retort her, her homeroom teacher suddenly stood up. She looked straight at the homeroom teacher of Class 7, her face very serious, and her eyes were filled with anger.
“Miss Hart, Catherine is my student. If there is anything she does not do well, I will advise her. As teachers, aren’t you going too far in making such accusations against the students in my class without knowing the situation?”
The homeroom teacher of Class 7 was furious at those words and was planning to hit back. However, she didn’t expect the homeroom teacher of Class 8 to continue.
“I advise you to take care of the students in your class and improve their grades when you have time so that you won’t be criticized again at the next homeroom teacher assembly.”
These words hit the point!
What the homeroom teacher of Class 7 hated the most was that the students in her class were not as excellent as those in Class 8. Every year, she received less year-end awards than the teachers of Class 8.
It could be said that the homeroom teacher of Class 8 had now mentioned the homeroom teacher of Class 7’s sore spot, and saying those words in front of Catherine made the homeroom teacher of Class 7 more embarrassed.
The homeroom teacher of Class 7 was so angry that she stamped her foot and rushed out of the office. As soon as she left, Catherine, who was watching the show, gave her homeroom teacher a thumbs up.
‘Nice one!”
Her homeroom teacher pretended to be angry and rolled her eyes at her. “Avoid her when you meet her in the future. I’m worried that she’ll cause you trouble without me around!”
Catherine thought to herself, “Cause me trouble?
“Does Miss Hart have this ability?” Catherine didn’t continue the topic. After all, she wasn’t afraid, even if Miss Hart really had the ability.
“Weren’t you looking for me for something?”
The homeroom teacher reached out and patted her forehead, looking cute. ” Yes, I have something to talk to you about. It’s all Miss Hart’s fault. She almost made me forget about it.”
After saying that, the homeroom teacher took out a document and handed it to Catherine. “This is a document issued by the school. As the first-place group of the celebration gala, you guys are qualified to participate in the National Literary League.”
Catherine knew about this, and Bryan had mentioned it to her before. She refused her homeroom teacher without even looking at the document. “I’m not interested. You can find someone else!”
It was the same answer she had given Bryan before. She was really not interested in it. The homeroom teacher knew what Catherine meant. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have called her to the office alone to discuss.
Although unsure of what Catherine thought, she knew that the core of their group was Catherine, and as long as she could persuade Catherine, everything would be solved.
“Catherine, this isn’t just an honor for you alone, but for our Class 8. As you can see, Class 8 is in the ascendancy within the school right now, and to maintain the passion of the whole class, I think you should participate.
“What would other classes think of our Class 8 if our first-place group didn’t even participate?”
Seeing that Catherine didn’t say anything, the homeroom teacher didn’t force the issue. “This is a personal request from me. I want you to go back and think about it. You can give me the answer tomorrow.”
Catherine’s face remained the same as she stood up with her hands in her pockets and walked out of the office. She went back into the classroom and sat down.
As soon as she sat down, Ronin and Bryan approached her. “Boss, why did the homeroom teacher ask the office?” you to go to Catherine didn’t hide it and said lightly, “Something about the National Literary and Art League!”
“So that’s it!” Ronin nodded thoughtfully. “That’s not a big problem. We’ll just not participate.”
He knew Catherine didn’t like these, and she couldn’t participate. There was a slight entanglement between Catherine’s eyebrows. No one could force her, and she wouldn’t do things she didn’t want to do.
But something seemed to be different this time!
