Chapter 539: Calling People to Confront
Zhuge Mingshan kept an eye on Zhao Guangran and his group, thinking that even if there were so-called exam papers, so what.
Someone from the Northeastern Rural area, could their exam papers contain more than what they had seen in Beijing?
In short, everything is just pretend. Zhuge Mingshan expressed that they should just let them make a fuss and jump around, as in the end, they would only meet a more miserable failure.
"What, you say even Teacher Wu thinks that exam paper is good?"
"That’s impossible." Zhuge Mingshan did not expect her classmate to bring such bad news, it shocked her greatly.
"It’s really impossible. How could Teacher Wu think that kid’s paper is good?"
"That I don’t know, but Teacher Wu and the others went to Principal Zhuge’s office to make a fuss because they rummaged through Teacher Zhao’s desk, especially after Teacher Wu couldn’t find anything, they even intended to search Teacher Zhao’s body."
No way, everyone inhaled sharply. If it were a few years ago, or even a year ago, it might have happened, but how could it happen now?
Especially since Principal Zhuge had suffered quite a bit in the past few years, he was variously resistant to such matters, so how could he allow Teacher Wu to do this.
Also, Teacher Wu was quite domineering, even sometimes opposing the principal. The principal did not erupt before, but would the current principal endure Teacher Wu’s actions?
Initially, Zhuge Ming thought it was a fuss between Teacher Wu and Teacher Zhao over a bet, and he wanted to mediate in it a bit. Yesterday, after going home, he also thought for a long time, realizing some things he initially thought were not well-considered.
Now he has a better plan, but of course, it also depends on the results of this competition. Even as long as there is a bit of positive outcome, Zhuge Ming wants to reform a bit. As Zhao Guangran said very rightly, if everyone thinks they can completely relax after entering the key class, how can it still be the key class? There’s no pressure at all.
But for all the ideas, when he heard Teacher Zhao’s angry complaints, Zhuge Ming was stunned, "Teacher Wu, explain yourself."
Zhuge Ming’s voice turned cold, as cold as it could get.
Oh dear, Principal Zhuge is really angry. Just now, they could comfort themselves by thinking Principal Zhuge wouldn’t turn against them so quickly. They didn’t expect him to just listen to Teacher Zhao and do this, isn’t it a bit too much?
"Speak up. I don’t think Teacher Zhao would lie in front of so many teachers." Zhuge Ming noticed someone looked dissatisfied, after all, he didn’t ask Teacher Wu, but was there a need to ask her?
"If what Teacher Zhao said was all nonsense, I think you, Teacher Wu, would have jumped out long ago." Zhuge Ming was clear about Teacher Wu, she could be quite adept at embellishing others’ words, but others couldn’t do the same.
Teacher Wu shook her head to indicate it wasn’t wrong, she sometimes did report others, but couldn’t possibly say it in front of so many teachers; she was someone who cared about her reputation too.
"Then why did you search Teacher Zhao’s desk?" Zhuge Ming showed his displeasure, "I didn’t know the so-called movement hadn’t passed, otherwise how could such a thing happen in the school?"
"Is it so that in the future whoever one doesn’t like can search a teacher’s desk, and if nothing is found, search their person? It seems Teacher Wu didn’t do this sparingly in the past." What Zhuge Ming disliked most about Teacher Wu was this point.
Even if one is a teacher, so what? In the past, such foolishness wasn’t unheard of, things were just done more secretly, but no matter how secret, some people still knew.
Although no action has been taken against certain individuals now, it doesn’t mean action will never be taken; it’s just that there are many things at hand, and currently, there’s no time. Once things are resolved, some matters must be settled.
A storm brewed inside Teacher Wu’s heart; she had done many wrongs in her life, but there was one wrong that she always remembered, which she had been working to correct. Matters had settled for several years without any talk, and previously there had been a settlement which excluded her, naturally putting her at ease. How come she now felt a vague uneasiness?
She raised her head to look at Principal Zhuge, finding him with no apparent reaction, pondering if he mentioned something out of reminiscence.
Right, it must be that, can’t panic, once panic sets in, this matter becomes troublesome and might get exposed. "Principal, you must be joking."
Joking, huh, still clinging to luck, but perhaps it’s just as well not to startle anyone; otherwise, it would ruin the previous preparations.
"Alright, talking about this matter, Teacher Wu, your actions were excessive." Zhuge Ming indicated that some people, no matter how much time passed, in whatever era, some things were just ingrained in their bones.
"I was in a hurry, wasn’t I? I heard Teacher Zhao had good practice papers, so I wondered if everyone could take a look, after all, improving everyone’s grades is also for the school’s good." Teacher Wu was indeed a smooth talker; otherwise, she wouldn’t have deceived so many people back then.
"Is that so, Teacher Zhao." A capable talker indeed, Zhuge Ming turned to ask Teacher Zhao.
Teacher Zhao certainly would not admit it. She initially considered sharing with everyone when time comes; after all, good grades reflect well on the school. But now, she’s given up.
With everyone being so menacing, what does it matter if she agreed to share the practice papers, the credit would just end up going to Teacher Wu, which Teacher Zhao did not want to see.
"It was Zhao Guangran who let me take a look, Principal, you know these are questions his uncle made for him, not from the school." Teacher Zhao pushed this matter aside cleanly right from the start.
"But isn’t Zhao Guangran a student?" Teacher Wu became anxious, upon seeing Zhuge Ming actually nod in agreement with this reasoning, she wondered what to do.
"He’s a student, yes, but it doesn’t mean he has to bring his materials to the school; I am a teacher, so what."
"Also, Teacher Wu, the practice papers you obtained before, you didn’t share them with everyone either; you’re still a teacher at the school." Teacher Zhao countered, she originally didn’t want to speak, given that she’s not the only one who knows, it’s not worth doing such a foolish thing. But unable to withstand Wu’s excessive actions, she chose not to hold back.
"I, I..." Teacher Wu jumped, "Now we’re discussing Zhao Guangran’s issue."
"Isn’t it the same nature?" Humph, thinking she could bypass the discussion, dream on. This issue can absolutely not be yielded, Teacher Zhao stated that the situations show no differences.
Teacher Wu, of course, knew the difference between the two wasn’t significant, strictly speaking, she’s a teacher, and as a teacher eating alone, let alone a student.
"Let’s leave it be, ask Zhao Guangran’s opinion." Zhuge Ming suggested consulting Zhao Guangran, or else, the people present would not spare Zhao Guangran.
One after another, instead of focusing on setting papers and preparing for classes, they focused on this. Sigh, Zhuge Ming felt like he continually marked these teachers negatively, unlike previous teachers who didn’t spend all day thinking about these things, being too busy with preparing various lessons.
Zhuge Ming thought they should improve these teachers’ educational levels, otherwise, it would truly tarnish their school’s reputation; this school gathered efforts from a generation, Zhuge Ming himself contributed significantly too.
Zhuge Ming doesn’t want the school to undergo a drastic change after he retires. Sigh, the decade-long movement indeed changed generations and completely altered the school’s former teacher atmosphere; if no action is taken, what difference does it make even if he stays at the school.
