Lin Hao
After Zhong Yi finished eating, he parted ways with Zhang Wanqing.
After all, this was no small matter; to put it bluntly, it counted as starting a business, something he had never done in either of his two lifetimes.
As he walked slowly home, he repeatedly weighed the pros and cons in his mind. On one hand, the conditions Zhang Wanqing offered were indeed tempting — the generous profit-sharing rights, the high monthly salary, and the future development potential all stirred his heart.
He couldn't help but scheme inwardly: "If I really went to Zhang Wanqing's company, perhaps I could achieve something great; maybe it could completely change my life trajectory."
But on the other hand, he was filled with fear of the unknown, worried he couldn't handle it, worried the company's prospects were unclear. "What if the company fails? Wouldn't I have to start all over again?"
The next day, Zhong Yi had the misfortune of running into a traffic jam; by the time he arrived at the school, he was already a bit late.
He hurried into the office, and the moment he entered, he saw Song Jie and Zhang Xue'er both wearing smiles, their smiles as warm as spring sunlight.
Hearing other colleagues' discussions, he learned that the several parents who had reported Zhang Xue'er early in the morning had come to the school saying they'd thought it over at home and felt Teacher Zhang Xue'er was doing a good deed, it couldn't count as private tutoring, and they all expressed understanding.
This sudden turn of events left Principal Liu and Director Wang completely baffled, with no idea what these parents were up to.
Principal Liu frowned and said to Director Wang: "What exactly is going on? How did these parents change so fast?"
Director Wang was also at a loss: "I don't know either, Principal. Yesterday they were aggressive and imposing; today they've completely changed their attitude."
However, since the matter had been clarified, Zhang Xue'er's work was naturally restored, and Zhang Xue'er was naturally very happy.
Her face radiated joy, like a flower in full bloom.
At this time, several parents were sitting in a coffee shop near the school. One parent raised a doubt: "Why must it be Teacher Zhang Xue'er tutoring the children? Teacher Zhang Xue'er's level isn't necessarily that high."
Tian Yulan and Zhang Xinde's mother exchanged a glance, both smiling faintly.
Tian Yulan slowly spoke: "Actually, most teachers' levels are about the same, but as the subject teacher, Zhang Xue'er is willing to tutor; that's definitely better than other teachers. And now we can also get Teacher Song Jie on board — it has to be said, it's still very cost-effective."
Zhang Xinde's mother nodded in agreement: "Right, we're also thinking of the children's future. The children's studies can't be delayed; as long as grades improve, spending a bit of money doesn't matter."
Another parent followed up: "Exactly, compared to the children's grades, that bit of tuition is really not worth mentioning. We can't let the children lose at the starting line."
The other parents all nodded in agreement; they all understood that for the children's future, any amount of sacrifice was worth it.
After Zhang Xue'er went to teach, Song Jie's mind was constantly troubled by the matter of the Little Guardian Class. He paced back and forth in the office, pondered for a moment, then resolutely decided to go find his Uncle, Director Wang, to talk about this.
Song Jie quickly arrived at Director Wang's office and knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in." Director Wang's voice came from inside.
Song Jie pushed the door open, walked in, and said with a serious face: "Uncle, I want to talk to you about the school's Little Guardian Class. This Little Guardian Class is completely optional and serves no real purpose at all. Look, this time it even caused the incident of Teacher Zhang Xue'er being reported; this Little Guardian Class really has no need to continue being implemented. I strongly suggest canceling it."
Director Wang frowned slightly, leaned back in his chair, crossed his hands on his chest, and said: "Xiao Jie, Principal Liu and I have discussed this matter, and we've also communicated with leaders of other schools. Indeed, many schools' teachers have opinions on the Little Guardian Class; after all, staying behind for duty without being allowed to teach, and with no salary subsidy, teachers purely become child-minders for parents, and many teachers are unwilling. But no school has suspended the Little Guardian Class yet; our Fengfan Primary School doesn't want to be the first to stick its neck out."
Song Jie said urgently: "Uncle, we can't just keep dragging it out like this. This Little Guardian Class has many problems; staying for duty has no meaning at all. We should bravely take the first step and cancel the Little Guardian Class."
Director Wang shook his head helplessly and said: "No, we can't cancel the Little Guardian Class now. We have to observe the situation a bit more; we can't act rashly."
But Song Jie wasn't willing to give up just like that; after all, he and Zhang Xue'er were staying behind for duty together — how else could they tutor those parents' children?
He began to pester Director Wang relentlessly, even saying: "Uncle, it was you who forced me to do duty in the first place; it wasn't something I agreed to myself. From today on, I'm not doing duty anymore."
Hearing this, Director Wang's face flushed red with anger; he abruptly grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it on the floor. With a "Crash," the sound of the shattering teacup startled Song Jie.
Director Wang glared, eyes wide, and shouted: "You child, how can you be so insensible? The Little Guardian Class matter isn't something you can just decide however you want."
But Song Jie wasn't scared off; he still looked at Director Wang stubbornly, his defiant look making Director Wang both angry and helpless.
Song Jie said: "Uncle, I don't care; I just don't want to do duty anymore. This Little Guardian Class must be canceled."
Director Wang fell silent for a while, then finally compromised. He said helplessly: "Fine, I'll issue a notice; you don't have to do duty anymore. But remember, in the future you can't be so impulsive in doing things."
Hearing this, Song Jie's face showed delight; he hurriedly said: "Thank you, Uncle. Then, Uncle, don't let Zhang Xue'er do duty either."
Director Wang glared at him and said firmly: "No. Zhang Xue'er signed up for duty voluntarily back then; if it's to be revoked, Zhang Xue'er has to come revoke it herself."
Song Jie still wanted to fight for it a bit more: "Uncle, please help out. Zhang Xue'er is a girl; doing duty is quite hard for her too."
Director Wang waved his hand and said: "Don't say any more; this matter is settled. You hurry back to work."
Song Jie was helpless and could only leave Director Wang's office dejectedly.
After Song Jie came out from Director Wang's, he eagerly went to find Zhang Xue'er. He was full of anticipation that Zhang Xue'er would listen to him and quit the Little Guardian Class duty.
Song Jie found Zhang Xue'er and said urgently: "Teacher Zhang, go quit the Little Guardian Class duty."
Zhang Xue'er was slightly stunned, looking at Song Jie with some doubt, and asked: "Why? I feel like doing duty two days a week has no impact."
Song Jie frowned and explained: "Think about it — Little Guardian Class duty is tiring and has no benefits; it's better to free up the time to do something more meaningful."
Zhang Xue'er, however, didn't agree; she shook her head and said: "I don't find it tiring, and I think duty has its benefits. It happens to stagger with your time tutoring the children in Chinese, so we can both arrange our work better."
Hearing this, Song Jie said somewhat anxiously: "But the Little Guardian Class really isn't necessary; don't waste your time on this."
Zhang Xue'er looked at Song Jie resolutely and said: "I don't think so; I feel the Little Guardian Class is helpful to some parents and children. Many parents really don't have time to pick up their children that early."
Song Jie sighed helplessly; he knew that once Zhang Xue'er decided on something, it was very hard to change easily.
