Urban Film and Television: Jiang Lai is the Top Choice

But Pei Duo, like a fool, didn't understand what Jiang Lai and Wang Manni meant. She just stared blankly at Jiang Lai and Wang Manni.

Pei Duo knew that Jiang Lai was domineering and unreasonable, but Wang Manni was more reasonable, and only Wang Manni could suppress Jiang Lai's domineering and unreasonable behavior.

Therefore, Pei Duo understood that Wang Manni wanted Wang Manni to step forward and put pressure on Jiang Lai.

To Pei Duo's disappointment, Wang Manni seemed to have no intention of standing up for her, and instead appeared to be forming a united front with Jiang Lai.

This was something Pei Duo found hard to accept.

However, Pei Duo thought of Yang Chu. Wang Manni and Jiang Lai had both followed Yang Chu, so it was not surprising that the two of them were on the same side.

Just as Pei Duo was about to retaliate after wiping away her tears, Mu Qi, seeing that things were getting out of hand, quickly said to her, "Alright, this is ultimately a school matter. It's really wrong of you to cause trouble here. Let's go back and talk about it first."

But Pei Duo was completely unmoved, shaking off Mu Qi's hand and saying, "How can it not be a problem! Don't you see what he's done to Peng Jiahe? He's led He Xinyan and the others astray."

Peng Jiahe looked at Pei Duo with a slight upturn of her lips, saying nothing, as if she wanted Pei Duo to say more.

When Jiang Lai saw Peng Jiahe's expression, she knew things were going to get bad. If things continued to escalate, she might not be able to stay in the Yang family anymore.

But Jiang Lai didn't have any good solutions. She had already made herself very clear, telling Pei Duo to leave first, but Pei Duo didn't understand her meaning at all.

Jiang Lai was now at a loss. She couldn't very well let the security guards drag Pei Duo out!

Just then, Tang Qiqi and He Xinyan exchanged a glance and nodded at the same time.

He Xinyan looked at Pei Duo and said, "Teaching Assistant Pei, this is the last time I'll call you that. I can give you a reasonable explanation, but... next time we meet, I hope you won't say another word to me, because I'm afraid that stupidity is contagious."

"you……"

He Xinyan's words infuriated Pei Duo, but he didn't know how to refute her, because everyone present seemed to be looking at her like she was an idiot.

He Xinyan completely ignored Pei Duo's angry expression and continued to stare at Pei Duo, saying, "Ever since the photo incident, I've been conflicted! Should I focus on my studies, or try to enter society while studying? I'm always distracted. Tang Qiqi happened to see my situation and asked me about it. So I told her the truth."

Tang Qiqi stood up, looked at Pei Duo, nodded, and said, "I was shocked by He Xinyan's thoughts at the time because I didn't expect her to be so mature. I was always proud to be a top student in school, but He Xinyan's thoughts had transcended the school and her mind was no longer in the small world of school. This was a big blow to me. So the two of us had a detailed discussion about this matter."

Tang Qiqi paused here, looked at Pei Duo and asked, "Would you like to know what we think after our detailed discussion?"

Hearing what Tang Qiqi and He Xinyan were saying, Pei Duo frowned and looked at them, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "Won't the result of this conversation just be a waste of time and life?"

"That's right! Joining the cheerleading team is a complete waste of time and life, and it has absolutely no meaning for future development."

"How can it be meaningless? Joining the cheerleading team can unite your classmates, showcase yourselves, and also...!"

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Qiqi interrupted him.

"What you're saying is all for kids. We're already in our final year of high school, and in less than a year, we'll be entering university. What is university? It's an adult school, a place where you're completely responsible for yourself. How will joining the cheerleading team help our studies and future development in university?"

Tang Qiqi's words completely silenced Pei Duo. With just one sentence, "University is an adult school, and you have to be responsible for yourself," all of Pei Duo's excuses were refuted.

Jiang Lai, Wang Manni, Fang Wenxi, Andy, and Zu Beilai were all somewhat incredulous upon hearing Tang Qiqi's words. They hadn't expected that a child who had just turned eighteen would have such a broad perspective.

Jiang Lai and Wang Manni were completely disappointed in Pei Duo. Even an eighteen-year-old child could understand this, but Pei Duo didn't. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Pei Duo was not even as good as an eighteen-year-old child.

He Xinyan seemed determined to completely break with Pei Duo, continuing to add to what Tang Qiqi hadn't finished saying.

"Teacher Pei keeps saying how great cheerleading is, but for us senior high school students, what real benefits does joining cheerleading bring? If it's just empty rhetoric, then Teacher Pei, there's no need to say anything more. We're not buying your empty promises."

Pei Duo really wanted to say that she wasn't just making empty promises, but she swallowed the words back. Now, if she were asked to name some tangible benefits that He Xinyan and the others would receive after joining the cheerleading team, she really couldn't give a single answer.

He Xinyan sighed, her eyes no longer as sharp as before, her aura less imposing. She sat back down in her chair and looked at Pei Duo, saying, "If the football team participates in provincial or higher-level competitions, they get extra points on the college entrance exam. But what about us cheerleaders? Besides receiving praise or certificates from the school, what other tangible benefits do we get? With the time we spend practicing cheerleading, can't we do a couple more practice tests? Can't we read a couple more pages of a book? Why waste time and our lives on cheerleading, which offers absolutely no real benefits?"

Pei Duo was once again rendered speechless by He Xinyan's words. She realized that He Xinyan and her classmates were in their final year of high school, and the college entrance examination was their most important task.

Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao were initially a little envious of He Xinyan and Tang Qiqi for being able to join the cheerleading team, but after hearing what He Xinyan and Tang Qiqi said, they now felt that cheerleading was just so-so, and there was nothing to envy.

Ji Yangyang, Fang Yifan, and Lin Leier, the three boys, didn't have much of a reaction; they were just there to watch the show.

After Pei Duo figured everything out, he seemed to be hit again, and sat back down in his chair, feeling as if everything he had done was wrong.

The incident involving He Xinyan's photos had already dealt Pei Duo a heavy blow, and now the news of He Xinyan and her group leaving the cheerleading team has dealt her another heavy blow.

Now Pei Duo is starting to doubt whether she is really unsuitable to be a teacher.
