Chapter 163 Transferred to No. 1 Middle School
In the days leading up to the final exams.
Zhuang Chaoying sat in his office, his hands constantly writing lesson plans. In January, the temperature inside Suzhou was still lower than outside, and his hands were red, swollen, and itchy from the cold. He put down his pen and rubbed his fingers.
His book, "A Small Town in Jiangnan," was finally completed after half a year of hard work.
I passed by the post office on my way to work today and mailed the manuscript to the magazine "Harvest".
We're just waiting for a reply.
Zhuang Chaoying stood up and stretched his limbs, as sitting for a long time had made his back a little tense.
Just then, a teacher called out from the doorway, "Teacher Zhuang! The principal wants to see you and asks you to go to his office."
Zhuang Chaoying was puzzled, wondering what was wrong, and quickly replied, "I understand, thank you, Teacher Wang."
He capped the pen and turned to walk toward the principal's office.
Arriving at the principal's office door, Zhuang Chaoying gently knocked. "Knock, knock, knock!"
"Come in!"
Zhuang Chaoying pushed open the door and went inside.
The principal greeted him warmly, "Sit down, Xiao Zhuang. I called you here today because I have some good news to tell you."
As he spoke, the principal handed over the documents in his hand.
Zhuang Chaoying took the document and saw that it was a registration letter, informing him to start working at No. 1 Middle School next semester.
Upon seeing this document, Zhuang Chaoying suddenly remembered the system reward from over a month ago.
"Principal, I'm doing a great job here and I'll miss my colleagues. Why is the Education Bureau suddenly transferring me away?"
The principal stood up, picked up the thermos, poured him a cup of hot water, and handed it to him.
Zhuang Chaoying quickly stood up and took the water cup: "Thank you, Principal."
The principal continued, "Teacher Zhuang, such a big thing, and we didn't even find out until November that you helped catch a human trafficker on the train and rescued a little boy. The police followed the trail and rescued eleven more children."
"These are eleven children! How could you not tell us about something so important? If the Education Bureau hadn't issued a document, I wouldn't have known about this at all."
Zhuang Chaoying roughly understood what had happened: "Principal, at the time I just felt that the person was acting strangely. Anyone would have helped him. I didn't take it too seriously."
The principal patted Zhuang Chaoying on the shoulder: "Look at your awareness, Teacher Zhuang. You've really brought honor to the school. This time, an old math teacher from No. 1 Middle School retired, and the Education Bureau immediately thought of you. You've participated in the college entrance examination grading, you're a dedicated teacher, responsible to your students, and an upright person. You're a good teacher."
I'm also planning to nominate you for this year's Outstanding Teacher award. Teacher Zhuang, please don't be modest; just report to No. 1 Middle School next semester.” Hearing the principal's words, Zhuang Chaoying turned around and tightly grasped his hand: “Principal, I really will miss you. But since the organization trusts me, I will definitely obey the arrangements.”
The principal smiled and nodded: "Teacher Zhuang, we've been colleagues for many years. Now that you've gone to No. 1 Middle School, do a good job. I believe you will achieve even greater success in your new position."
Zhuang Chaoying nodded. "Principal, I will work hard and live up to the expectations of the school and its leaders."
"By the way, I'm giving you half a day off this afternoon. The Education Bureau wants you to go there."
As he spoke, the principal glanced at his watch.
Zhuang Chaoying also arrived shortly after, standing up. "Principal, I'll be going back now."
After leaving the principal's office, I grabbed my lunchbox and headed to the cafeteria. I needed to eat something before I could go.
The school's loudspeaker blared: "On November 18th, Zhuang Chaoying, the Dean of Students, assisted the train police in apprehending a human trafficker on a train bound for Suzhou, successfully rescuing a young boy. Everyone should take Comrade Zhuang Chaoying as a role model and bravely fight against criminals."
The broadcast was repeated three times.
The teachers all gathered around. "Teacher Zhuang, you're amazing! You bravely fought against human traffickers; you're a role model for us all!"
"Yes, Teacher Zhuang, why didn't you tell us? This is great news!"
"Human traffickers are rampant these days. I've heard that they like to abduct female college students and little boys around one year old. Parents with children need to keep a close eye on their kids. I've heard that some human traffickers use all sorts of tricks—stealing, robbing, and cheating—and a child can disappear in the blink of an eye."
Zhuang Chaoying listened to everyone chatting and quickly finished her meal. "Teachers, please take your time eating, I'm done!"
Without delay, Zhuang Chaoying left the cafeteria, washed her lunchbox, and hurriedly headed to the bus stop with her briefcase, as the school's loudspeaker announced her arrival.
On the bus, he sat by the window, watching the scenery outside recede into the distance.
Twenty minutes later, upon arriving at the Education Bureau, Zhuang Chaoying registered with the security guard and went straight to the director's office.
He stood in the doorway and knocked gently. "Knock, knock, knock!"
"Please come in!"
Zhuang Chaoying pushed open the door and saw Director Zhou standing in front of his desk with a big smile on his face.
Director Zhou stood up, extended his hand, and shook hands with the two: "Teacher Zhuang, it's been a long time! Your deeds have been reported from above. You truly are an outstanding teacher. Well done!"
As he spoke, he picked up a certificate from the table and handed it over, followed by an envelope. "Teacher Zhuang, this is from above, a certificate for outstanding teacher at the provincial level, along with a bonus."
Zhuang Chaoying accepted the certificate and envelope, repeatedly expressing her gratitude: "Thank you, Director. This is all thanks to your guidance over the years. What I did was insignificant. Human traffickers are so despicable; anyone else would have helped catch her."
Director Zhou nodded: "Teacher Zhuang, your ideological awareness is very good, your work attitude is serious, we are at ease entrusting the students to you, and transferring you to No. 1 Middle School is a decision made jointly by the leadership team. Do a good job! Your salary will be increased from seventy yuan to eighty yuan."
Zhuang Chaoying quickly replied, "I will certainly live up to your expectations."
After leaving the Education Bureau, Zhuang Chaoying breathed a sigh of relief. Dealing with leaders was really not easy; she had to exchange polite compliments and it gave her a headache.
He took the envelope out of his pocket, opened it, and saw ten ten-yuan bills. Good heavens, a provincial advanced teacher award is only one hundred yuan. That's too little. He thought it would be a thousand yuan.
[System, is this transfer to No. 1 Middle School a system reward?]
【Yes! 】
Walking down the street, Zhuang Chao recalled that in the original drama, he was transferred to No. 10 Middle School after Tu Nan passed the postgraduate entrance examination. Now, he, like a butterfly, was slowly changing the course of the plot.
I glanced at my watch; it was 2 PM. The sun was shining warmly on me, and it was much more comfortable outside than inside.
Although he was leaving his familiar school and colleagues, he knew that this was a new challenge and a new opportunity.
