The school moved swiftly; by afternoon that notice was posted prominently on the school bulletin board.

Passing teachers and students stopped to look, and for a moment discussions buzzed. The notice stated clearly: Zhong Yi was given a warning punishment for privately tutoring students.

That afternoon, Zhong Yi began quietly packing his things. The other teachers, seeing this, were all astonished and gathered around.

A teacher asked with a face full of doubt, "Teacher Zhong, what's going on? Why are you suddenly packing up?"

Zhong Yi shook his head slightly and said softly, "I resigned."

At these words, the teachers were even more startled.

Another teacher said, puzzled, "The school only gave a warning punishment, right? Why resign? That's too drastic."

Zhong Yi sighed and said, "After all, I did violate the regulations, and I didn't want to cause more trouble for the school. I also couldn't stand the school's endless rules, so I resigned."

At this moment, Song Jie walked back from Director Wang's office with his head held high.

Seeing Zhong Yi packing, he hurried over, a trace of smugness on his face, and said loudly, "Zhong Yi, hurry up and hand over your work to me."

Zhong Yi looked at him expressionlessly, the handover materials already prepared. He took a stack of documents and handed them over, saying, "It's all here."

Song Jie flipped through them eagerly, found no issues. With so many other colleagues present, Song Jie couldn't say much, merely raising his chin slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smug smile.

The other teachers, watching Song Jie's manner, all felt some displeasure.

A teacher muttered quietly, "This Song Jie is too much. Teacher Zhong is already like this, and he's still so arrogant."

Another teacher chimed in, "Exactly. Teacher Zhong always worked so seriously, this time it was for the students too, who would've thought... sigh." But everyone only complained in their hearts, not daring to say it to his face.

Zhong Yi finished packing his things, took one last look at the office, this place once full of memories. He said softly, "Colleagues, take care from now on."

Then he turned and left resolutely. The teachers watched Zhong Yi's departing back, all feeling moved, not knowing what to say.

But by the time afternoon dismissal came, Song Jie was dumbfounded.

Only then did he realize: Zhong Yi left, what about the Little Guardian Class?

He was anxious like ants on a hot pan, immediately calling his uncle Director Wang.

The moment the call connected, Song Jie said urgently, "Uncle, bad news, Zhong Yi left, what do we do about the Little Guardian Class?"

Director Wang said irritably, "Didn't you take over Zhong Yi's math teacher and Class One homeroom duties? You ask me what to do — of course you're on duty."

Song Jie was unhappy at once and said quickly, "Uncle, I have things to do, how can I stay every day doing good deeds?"

Director Wang didn't care, saying, "I've already gotten off work and gone home, who's going to manage you. Handle it yourself." He hung up.

In the end, Song Jie reluctantly stood duty for two or three hours. For students' questions, he brushed them off whenever he could. He held a grudge inside, feeling terribly unlucky.

Returning home that evening, Song Jie still complained to his mother: "Mom, Uncle only arranges thankless tasks for me. All the hard, exhausting work goes to me. I originally wanted to share Uncle's burden, but teaching two subjects and being homeroom for two classes is already exhausting, and now he makes me stand unpaid duty in the Little Guardian Class — isn't that bullying?"

Song Jie's mother, hearing this, immediately became unhappy. She looked at her son with heartache and said, "How can that be? Your uncle is too much." She immediately called her brother to come to her house.

The moment Director Wang entered, Song Jie's mother berated him without letting him explain: "How can you treat your nephew like this? He's done so much for you, and this is how you repay him? He does so much work alone, and you still make him stand duty — do you have a conscience?"

Director Wang said helplessly, "Sister, listen to me. He insisted on teaching two subjects himself; I didn't ask him to take them."

Song Jie's mother refused to let up: "He teaches two subjects to share your worries as an uncle! Not knowing to be considerate of the child is one thing, but now you're saying this."

In the end, Director Wang had no choice but to promise Song Jie he wouldn't have to stand duty in the Little Guardian Class anymore; he would personally teach it. Only then did Song Jie show a satisfied smile.

After Zhong Yi left the school, his heart was full of anticipation and trepidation for the future. He immediately called to make an appointment with Zhang Wanqing to discuss their grand entrepreneurial plan.

Zhang Wanqing and Zhong Yi agreed to meet at an antique-style teahouse.

Zhong Yi rushed over; the moment he pushed open the door, he discovered another woman, about thirty, wearing glasses, dressed in capable professional attire.

Through Zhang Wanqing's introduction, Zhong Yi learned this was Zhang Wanqing's father's assistant, named Liu Na. Looking at Liu Na's shrewd and capable appearance, Zhong Yi couldn't help but marvel that having a good father is truly nice.

After the three sat down, Zhong Yi eagerly put forward his idea.

He said seriously, "Since the company currently has only three people, it's equivalent to starting from scratch. I have one demand: I must have a say, especially in curriculum education — I must have absolute say."

Zhang Wanqing was about to agree when Liu Na spoke up: "Mr. Zhong, I want you to understand one thing. Miss Zhang invited you to work, not to be a partner."

Hearing this, Zhong Yi frowned, a flash of displeasure rising in his heart. He turned to Zhang Wanqing and said, "Is this your meaning?"

Zhang Wanqing was about to speak when Liu Na added, "This is Chairman Zhang's meaning."

Zhong Yi heard this and instantly felt utterly disappointed.

He stood up and left, feeling there was no need to continue talking. As he walked he thought: "Since I can't call the shots, what's there to talk about?"

Seeing Zhong Yi leave, Zhang Wanqing immediately stood up and asked where he was going.

Zhong Yi stopped, saying firmly, "There's no need to continue talking. Since you, Zhang Wanqing, can't make the decisions at this company, there's no point talking."

Zhang Wanqing was about to say something when Liu Na said from the side, "Mr. Zhong, take care."

Hearing this, Zhang Wanhuan hurriedly said to Liu Na, "What are you saying?"

Zhong Yi, hearing this, instead didn't leave. He turned to look at Liu Na and said, "Liu Na, let me also remind you: you're an assistant, not the Premier."

Then he said to Zhang Wanqing, "Continuing to talk is fine. You just need to replace this assistant of yours — that will prove you can control this company — then we'll continue talking."

Liu Na heard this and flushed red with anger, saying, "You..."

Zhang Wanqing immediately said, "Liu Na, shut up!"

Then Zhang Wanqing walked out of the private room, took out her mobile phone, and called her father.

Left behind, Zhong Yi and Liu Na stared at each other in the private room. Zhong Yi looked at Liu Na expressionlessly; Liu Na glared back furiously. The atmosphere between them was tense to the extreme.
