Song Jie put the exercises back into Zhong Yi's drawer. Then, like a careful artisan, he meticulously restored Zhong Yi's desk to its original state.

He tried hard to keep his expression calm, pretending nothing had happened, and slowly returned to his seat.

But inside, his heart was like surging waves, unable to calm down. He began racking his brains to think about how to use this matter to deal Zhong Yi a heavy blow.

"Hmph, Zhong Yi, let's see how you escape this time." Song Jie schemed silently in his heart, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sinister smile. "Once Director Wang finds out about this, let's see how long you can remain smug."

But after Zhong Yi returned from the break, his keen observation immediately let him discover that his desk had been tampered with.

He slightly furrowed his brow, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He slowly opened the drawer and saw that Mi Tao's exercises had been looked through, and he roughly understood in his heart. It seemed this matter would be exposed after all; as for exposure, Zhong Yi was actually mentally prepared.

He stood up and slowly looked around. When his gaze fell on Song Jie, he found Song Jie's eyes somewhat evasive. Zhong Yi glanced at the class schedule again and saw that Song Jie had no class in the previous period, so he figured it out.

Zhong Yi picked up the envelope in the drawer, took a deep breath, and resolutely walked toward Director Wang's office.

On the way to the office, Zhong Yi's mood was very complicated. He had considered it these past two days and was prepared to resign; there were simply too many rules and regulations at the school. In his previous life he had already been bound, and in this life he wanted to live more freely. Arriving at the door of Director Wang's office, Zhong Yi gently knocked.

"Come in." Director Wang's voice came from inside.

Zhong Yi pushed open the door and entered. Seeing it was Zhong Yi, Director Wang asked somewhat surprisedly, "Teacher Zhong, what's the matter?"

Zhong Yi hesitated for a moment, then placed the envelope on Director Wang's desk and said, "Director Wang, I'm preparing to resign."

Director Wang stood up and asked in surprise, "Resign? Why suddenly resign?"

Zhong Yi slowly said, "Nothing much, I just don't want to do it anymore."

Director Wang's face sank, and he said, "Teacher Zhong, what exactly happened? Why so sudden?"

In the end Zhong Yi still didn't explain anything, only saying he didn't want to do it anymore.

Director Wang slightly furrowed his brow and said earnestly, "Teacher Zhong, don't be so impulsive; think it over again. Resignation can't happen that quickly, after all we still need to find a teacher to replace you. I'll give you some time to think it over."

Zhong Yi silently nodded, turned, and left Director Wang's office.

Song Jie had thought for a long time in the office, feeling that this matter still shouldn't be exposed by himself. He thought it over left and right, and finally decided to go find his uncle Director Wang.

Coincidentally, at the door of Director Wang's office he met Zhong Yi, who had just come out. Song Jie's eyes rolled, and he secretly speculated: Could this Zhong Yi have discovered something and come to turn himself in?

The two greeted each other and parted. Song Jie entered Director Wang's office and asked directly, "Uncle, did Zhong Yi come to turn himself in?"

Director Wang asked puzzledly, "Turn himself in? Turn himself in for what?"

Song Jie then explained how he had discovered Zhong Yi giving Mi Tao private mathematics tutoring.

After listening, Director Wang understood the situation, but he still liked Zhong Yi more. He sighed slightly, thinking: Teacher Zhong is actually quite responsible; since he has already resigned, he won't pursue it further.

Director Wang looked at the smug Song Jie and said, "Why are you so happy? What good does it do you?"

Song Jie said, "Uncle, aren't you going to manage such blatant tutoring? That's junior high knowledge—isn't that pulling up seedlings to help them grow? It's more hateful than outside tutoring classes and must be handled seriously."

Director Wang glared at Song Jie and said, "If we deal with Zhong Yi, who will teach mathematics for Class One and Two? Where am I going to find a ready-made mathematics teacher now?"

Hearing this, Song Jie's eyes rolled, and he immediately said, "I'll do it. I have qualifications in both mathematics and Chinese, after all. I can definitely do it."

Director Wang frowned at Song Jie and said, "You? Why are you acting so strange today? One person teaching two subjects—aren't you afraid of getting tired? I've never seen you so enthusiastic before."

Song Jie said with a grin, "Isn't this to share your worries, Uncle? Besides, I'm teaching two subjects now—shouldn't my salary be raised a bit? Uncle, I'm working so hard; there should be some reward, right?"

Director Wang shook his head helplessly and said, "You, you only know how to calculate. Let's talk after you do the work well."

Song Jie quickly nodded and promised, "Uncle, rest assured, I'll definitely do a good job."

After saying this, Director Wang got up and walked toward Principal Liu's office. Along the way, his steps were somewhat heavy, and his heart was full of worry. Recently, the fifth grade had truly been full of problems, leaving him at his wit's end.

As he walked, he sighed silently in his heart, feeling embarrassed to go report these troublesome matters to the principal again.

Arriving at the door of Principal Liu's office, Director Wang gently knocked.

"Please come in." Principal Liu's voice came from inside.

Director Wang pushed open the door and entered.

Seeing Director Wang, Principal Liu slightly furrowed his brow and asked, "Old Wang, what's the matter again?"

Director Wang sighed and said, "Principal, it's still about the fifth grade. The matter of Teacher Zhong giving private tutoring to a student has been discovered. He wants to resign now, and I don't know what to do."

After listening to Director Wang explain the situation, Principal Liu also furrowed his brow and said, "This fifth grade really doesn't give people any peace. How could Teacher Zhong do such a thing?"

Principal Liu thought it over and felt it was better to call Zhong Yi over to ask clearly. So Director Wang hurriedly went to bring Zhong Yi to Principal Liu's office.

After Zhong Yi arrived at Principal Liu's office and heard Director Wang explain the situation, he seriously thought it over and said, "Principal, Director, I did indeed tutor Mi Tao. I felt that a talented child like her shouldn't be buried. There are geniuses in this world, and Mi Tao is one of them. The school's education is for all children, not for geniuses, so I feel I'm not very suited to the school environment."

Principal Liu slightly narrowed his eyes, looking at Zhong Yi, and said, "Teacher Zhong, your starting point may be good, but doing this indeed violates the school's regulations. Have you thought about what kind of impact this would have on other teachers and students?"

Zhong Yi lowered his head and said, "Principal, I know what I did was wrong. But seeing Mi Tao's talent, I really can't bear to let her be buried. I feel I should do something for her."

Director Wang said from the side, "Teacher Zhong, you were indeed too impulsive. You could have made a suggestion to the school; we could have thought of a way to solve this problem together, instead of giving private tutoring to students without authorization."

Then Principal Liu said, "Since Teacher Zhong you have already decided, and you don't quite agree with our school's educational philosophy, then I won't persuade you. But regarding your giving private tutoring to students, our school still needs to take an attitude, so the disciplinary notice still needs to be issued. I hope you can understand."

Zhong Yi was already mentally prepared, but he still said to the principal: "I can accept the school's disciplinary decision, but I hope Mi Tao's name isn't mentioned, to protect the student."

Principal Liu and Director Wang exchanged a glance, and Principal Liu said, "Teacher Zhong, rest assured, we will protect the students well. During these days at the school, you have also given a lot for the students; we have all seen it. I hope that no matter where you are in the future, you can continue to contribute your strength to the cause of education."

Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Thank you, Principal and Director, for your understanding. I will."

After saying this, Zhong Yi turned and left the office. Principal Liu and Director Wang watched Zhong Yi's departing back, both feeling somewhat emotional in their hearts.

Principal Liu said, "Old Wang, Teacher Zhong is also a talented person; what a pity."

Director Wang nodded and said, "Yes, Principal. But everyone has their own choices and pursuits."
