Hu Xiuqiao smiled gently and spoke politely.
A smile and tone like that were certainly hard to refuse.
Gu Jiaojiao glanced at the stack of exams but didn't reach for them. "I remember, these are from the exam given in first period this morning. A whole day has passed, and Teacher Hu still hasn't graded them. It seems your professional skills are a bit lacking!"
"I remember we've always had ten teachers for ten classes, and everyone managed to get by. So how is it that Teacher Hu can't seem to finish grading exams and homework these days? Is your workload too heavy? If that's really the case, I can speak to the principal about adjusting your duties."
Hu Xiuqiao's face went pale at Gu Jiaojiao's words.
If she were to go to the principal over this, such a stern man would surely start to question her teaching ability.
Hu Xiuqiao quickly made an excuse.
"Teacher Gu, I was just asking for a favor. If you don't want to, just say so. There's no need to be so aggressive!"
