Chapter 56: Dong Shi's Flirting!

  When Mr. Zhu pushed open the office door, he saw Director Guo on the phone with someone. His facial expression was very uncomfortable, but his tone of voice still carried a hint of polite smile.

  "Chen, you're being too polite. We're old classmates, how could I not give you face? ----- Hehe, don't worry, I'll definitely think of a way to help you out. But I'm also helpless. Some students wrote a letter of complaint to the higher-ups, and suddenly the school leaders want to investigate this matter strictly. Little Qin teacher has become a typical example ----- Mm-hmm. Don't worry, I'll definitely think of a way."

  Upon hearing the content of Director Guo's phone call, Teacher Zhu secretly pondered: Could it be that someone is speaking on behalf of that kid Qin Luo? Could the rumors be true, and does he really have some powerful connections after all?

  He shook his head again, thinking that if he really had such a powerful background, the director would not have fired him. It is said that he was introduced by Principal Li Yonggang, and it is likely that someone from that side is helping him to speak for him.

  Qin Luo was fired by the department, and no one was happier than Teacher Zhu. Compared to Qin Luo's silence in the past, his voice in the office has increased a lot in the past two days, and the respectful attitude of other teachers when talking to him made him very enjoyable.

  Mr. Zhu also didn't let go of this opportunity to kick someone while they're down, and once sighed in the office saying: "Some young people who have just entered society are still very inexperienced, and don't understand many rules. Whoever can laugh last will be able to laugh the best. I think Little Min is quite good though. The little girl has great potential for development."

  Xiao Min smiled awkwardly and didn't respond.

  She was also a member of the student union and was well aware of this office struggle. Teacher Zhu is deliberately praising herself to hit Qin Luo, as one of the parties involved, she would not be complacent, thinking that Teacher Zhu was sincerely complimenting her.

  Putting down the phone, Director Guo rubbed his temples which were aching slightly. He said to Teacher Zhu: "Teacher Zhu, please sit down."

  "Alright." Principal Zhu nodded. He and Director Guo were somewhat related, and he was also a relatively older teacher. So, he didn't show much respect to his superior. Instead, he gave off an air of arrogance and self-importance.

  "Alas, we've invited a plague god." Director Guo said with a face full of anger. Thinking back to Qin Luo leaving with a credit card and mocking him, his heart fire rose up abruptly.

  "Just now, was someone calling him to plead?" Teacher Zhu asked Director Guo.

  "This is already the 36th phone call. All of them are pleading for him. Haha, unexpectedly, this kid's energy is not small at all. People from various departments have come, and even someone from the National Security Bureau has arrived." Director Guo said this with a tone that was far from laughter. He felt more like crying.

  On the one hand, it was his old leader's persistence, and on the other hand, it was the personal relationships of so many powerful people. He suddenly offended so many people, and from now on, he could only mix around in this medical university. Otherwise, who knows how those people would make things difficult for him.

  Teacher Zhu was secretly surprised and also a little relieved that he didn't have a too stiff relationship with him. But on the surface, he said: "Director, this is just official business. For the sake of our Traditional Chinese Medicine Academy's reputation and those students' future. I told you, no hair on his mouth, but not solid in doing things. That young man - Qin Luo, how old is he? Even if he started learning traditional Chinese medicine from birth, it's not necessarily that he can learn anything."

  "It's said that he hasn't even stepped into the school gate, how can someone like this have a solid foundation of knowledge? So I say, firing him is justified. The sooner the better, if we wait until later and something goes wrong before firing him, who will take responsibility? Still the director."

  Director Guo waved his hand and said, "You know your own business. The pressure I'm under now is something you can't feel. Fortunately, the old principal is taking the lead, otherwise, I'd be thinking of going to fetch that Buddha statue myself. You don't know what kind of people are calling me. Who wants to offend so many people?"

  When he saw Teacher Zhu, Director Guo said with a comforting tone: "Forget it. Things have come to this, and we can only stick our necks out and go through the motions. I'm being reasonable and following the rules, so even if they want to say something, they won't have an excuse. That kid didn't have what it takes to be a teacher in the first place."

  Director Guo stood up and walked over to the sofa opposite Teacher Zhu, sat down, looked at Teacher Zhu and said: "Teacher Zhu, I came to find you today because there is something I want to talk to you about."

  Mr. Zhu nodded and made a serious listening gesture.

  "It's like this. Although the department has fired Qin Luo, someone still needs to take over the course "Traditional Chinese Medicine Diagnostics". I heard that group of students is quite unruly, and if no teacher shows up for the next class, I'm afraid they'll cause some trouble."

  "Am I here to teach Diagnostics?" Teacher Zhu was a bit apprehensive.

  "Traditional Chinese Medicine Diagnostics" can be said to be a course that requires extremely high practical knowledge. Not only must one understand the medical reasoning behind illnesses, but also the methods of treatment. A teacher who is able to teach "Traditional Chinese Medicine Diagnostics" well must certainly be an extremely skilled doctor.

  He used to teach "Huangdi Neijing" theoretical course, now he is entrusted with a critical mission. He himself has some doubts.

  "Yes." Director Guo nodded.

  "But I'm not familiar with this subject either. And there's no lesson plan, I'm afraid it won't be easy to teach." said Teacher Zhu.

  "Teacher Zhu, you also know that it's hard to find a teacher for this course. Those who are not good enough will not satisfy the students and we don't want them either. The ones who are good may not be willing to come and teach here. They would rather go to hospitals to practice medicine. You're just temporarily filling in until we find someone else. Once we do, you'll be replaced. What do you think?"

  "I'm still a bit worried about this."

  "Old Zhu, you are the most senior teacher in our department. Also the most experienced teacher. Apart from you, who else is suitable in our office?" Director Guo said with a heavy heart, patting Teacher Zhu's hand.

  Hearing the leader value himself so much, Teacher Zhu was deeply grateful. It would be inappropriate to decline again, so he nodded and said: "Okay. Since Director values me, Old Zhu, I'll go and give it a try."

  "That's right. Seniors should set an example and take the lead. When something happens, they can hold on to it." Director Guo said with satisfaction.

  "Old Zhu, so this matter is settled. However, there's one thing I want to remind you of. Those students and Qin Luo have a good relationship. Be careful they don't make things difficult for you in your class. If they're disobedient, give them a taste of your authority. I'll give you an expulsion quota. Three major demerit quotas. You handle it yourself."

  "Director, don't worry. I'm Lao Zhu, an old man who has been teaching for decades. Dealing with these young whippersnappers, I still have some experience."

  "Alright, I'm leaving it up to you then."

  In the afternoon, there were two classes of "Traditional Chinese Medicine Diagnostics". When the bell rang, Teacher Zhu walked into the classroom with her arms holding a thermos cup and her armpits holding the textbook.

  Mr. Zhu glanced roughly at the classroom, with nearly a hundred people in it. This gave his self-esteem extreme satisfaction.

  In the past when I was teaching, there were only a few students who were willing to attend classes, not many. This is the first time that students from other majors are willing to come and listen to my lectures.

  Teacher Zhu put the textbook and thermos on the desk, swept her gaze across the classroom with a stern expression, cleared her throat, and said, "Some of you may already know, while others may not. I'll explain it for the school here."

  "Because the teacher Qin, who previously taught you all 'Traditional Chinese Medicine Diagnostics', didn't have a teaching qualification certificate, he wasn't qualified to be a teacher. So, he was fired by the school. Temporarily, I'll take over this course. Once the school recruits an excellent teacher, they will take over and teach this course. What do you all think?"

  When saying this, Teacher Zhu also stiffly smiled. Wanting to take a gentle route, bringing everyone a comfortable feeling like the spring breeze.

  "It's nothing." The whole class said in unison.

  Mr. Zhu's smile froze on his face. His complexion gradually turned gloomy.

  He scanned the students in the classroom again, his face serious, and said: "You are students of this school, you must follow the school's discipline. Now, everyone opens their textbooks."

  "Teacher Qin never made us open our textbooks during class," a student spoke up.

  "It's true. Teacher Qin basically just reads from the book when lecturing. And still needs to open the textbook ----- heh heh, really low level."

  "Teacher Zhu, didn't you used to teach 'Selected Readings of the Inner Canon'? You taught that course really well. We liked sleeping in your class the most. Why did you come to teach 'Diagnostic Science' now? Why do you have to do something you're not good at?"

  The students snickered and jeered, completely disregarding their teacher, who had been rated as an excellent educator for years.

  Mr. Zhu's face muscles began to twitch, he grabbed the blackboard eraser and slammed it on the desk, shouting: "Quiet! Everyone be quiet! Each teacher has their own teaching habits, who stipulated that only teachers who teach without notes are good teachers? That is a lazy teacher. Is an irresponsible teacher for his work. Even the lesson plan is not willing to prepare, how can you become a good teacher?"

  "I think Teacher Qin is very impressive."

  "It's just that ordinary people like to make excuses for their own mediocrity."

  "Teacher Zhu, you'd better not compare with Teacher Qin. That's just asking for a beating. Why don't you go back to teaching your 'Selected Readings of the Inner Canon' instead? I quite like your lullaby."

  Bang!

  Teacher Zhu slapped the podium with a loud bang and shouted, "What kind of students are you? Do you understand discipline? I'm telling you, when I came here, the department had already warned me. I have the right to persuade one student to drop out. And I also have the right to give three students a major demerit. I don't want to make things difficult for you, but you shouldn't force me to find trouble with you either. If I give you a major demerit, it will be a stain on your record for life. In the future, you won't even be able to find a job."

  Mr. Zhu pointed to the classroom door with his hand and said, "Those who don't want to listen to my lectures can leave. I won't stop you. Don't worry, at the end of the semester, I'll give you a score of 60."

  He had heard that Qin Luo used this method to conquer these students at the beginning. Now he is trying to learn from it, and he doesn't believe it, these students are so bold, they really dare to leave in front of him.

  Wang Jiujin, who was sitting in the first row, took off the earphones from his ears and stuffed them into his bag. Then he picked up his bag and walked out without even saying goodbye.

  Splash!

  The whole classroom shook, all the students were busy packing up their things and running outside.

  Before he knew it, there was only one student left in the classroom.

  The boy with a bandage on his leg looked dejected and shouted loudly at the departing students, "Hey, you bunch of bastards! If you're going to leave, take me with you too. My leg is injured from kicking the ball. Don't you have any sense of loyalty?"
