Chapter 138 Teachers
Lu An walked out of Mingzheng Guesthouse to get some fresh air, but when he went out, he saw a lot of people gathered in front of a building not far away and making a lot of noise.
Lu An didn't want to care, but he saw a few familiar faces in the crowd.
"Teacher Zeng, Teacher Dong!"
Lu An walked over quickly to say hello.
Several of the teachers were my teachers when I was studying at Pingjiang Middle School, and Teacher Zeng was also my homeroom teacher.
Zeng Lilian seemed very surprised by Lu An's arrival: "Lu An, why are you here? According to the time, you should have graduated from university by now. Which unit have you been assigned to? Is it the Education Bureau or the Finance Bureau? I remember that you were quite talented in mathematics."
At the same time, Zeng Lilian introduced to other teachers beside her: "This is Lu An, who was admitted to university four years ago!"
Teacher Dong and other teachers looked over and said, "College students? It would be best if you could be assigned to the Education Bureau so that you can help the teachers solve their problems."
Lu An smiled embarrassedly: "Teacher, universities have long since cancelled job assignments. I work in a provincial unit."
Teacher Dong and other teachers immediately showed disappointed expressions.
Zeng Lilian also sighed in disappointment, but still encouraged Lu An, "It's good to stay in the province to work. After all, the provincial capital always has more development opportunities than our small county town. Lu An, you are very smart and you will definitely have a good future."
"Teacher, what do you need here?" Lu An asked.
"What else could it be? It's just that Mr. Zeng and his colleagues' positions have been hacked!"
Before Zeng Lilian could speak, an indignant voice sounded beside her.
Lu An turned his head and a beautiful figure immediately jumped into his sight. She was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a chiffon shirt that outlined her slender and graceful curves. Her pretty face did not need any makeup to embellish it.
It can be said that this woman absolutely fits anyone’s fantasy image of a female teacher.
Zeng Lilian didn't intend to involve Lu An: "Teacher Xia, this is a student I taught before, there is no need to tell him about our teacher's affairs."
Only then did Lu An know that this beautiful female teacher was named Xia Shulan.
"So you are Teacher Xia Shulan!" Lu An blurted out in surprise.
Xia Shulan's long eyelashes fluttered, full of doubt: "Classmate, do you know me?"
Lu An smiled shyly: "Although I have never met Teacher Xia, I have heard about your outstanding deeds at the Normal University next door. You write good articles and volunteer to teach in rural areas. You have always been a role model for your classmates."
Xia Shulan was a little incredulous: "Is this true? Has it spread to other schools?"
Lu An was very embarrassed and said, of course it was fake.
In the past, I was so busy with my love affair with Wei Mengjiao at school that I didn’t even know all the news about my own school, let alone the news about the Normal University next door.
But Xia Shulan was also a pitiful woman. Because she was too beautiful, she was often subjected to all kinds of harassment.
Finally, a deputy director of the Education Bureau threatened Xia Shulan with advanced teacher qualification and staffing to become his lover. Xia Shulan was unwilling and was accidentally seen by his wife while struggling.
The deputy director was a son-in-law who married into the family and was very afraid of his wife, so he turned around and accused Xia Shulan of deliberately seducing him in order to obtain the advanced teaching qualification.
Faced with accusations from all walks of life, Xia Shulan jumped off a building out of shame and anger to prove her innocence, and only then were these things exposed.
Lu An also saw Xia Shulan's deeds in the news. It was really sad that such an outstanding and beautiful teacher ended up like this.
Xia Shulan, accompanying Teacher Zeng and others to petition, looked so indignant. Just as the reports said, she was a good girl with a strong sense of justice, ideals and beliefs.
There was a commotion ahead.
"Here they come! The leaders of the Education Bureau are out!"
Then a young man in his early twenties came out.
Lu An frowned at that time, because this man was too young and didn't look like someone who could be in charge.
But the teachers rushed forward one after another and complained to the leader.
"Leader, you have to take care of us! I can't let someone else steal my position without knowing why!"
"I have been teaching for more than ten years. How can I still be a contract teacher? Isn't this bullying?"
"Please help us..."
The cadre from the Education Bureau waved his hands impatiently and shouted, "What are you all arguing about? Can you just be quiet and speak one by one?"
Teacher Dong, who has the longest service, was nominated to give a report. He said that they were teachers at Pingjiang Middle School and had been teaching at the school, but had never been on the staff list and their service years were not counted.
The young man nodded after hearing this: "Oh, I know about this. You all go back and wait for news."
Teacher Dong was anxious about this perfunctory attitude: "Leader, how should we solve this problem? We are still facing the problem of job title evaluation and salary increase. What should we do?"
Other teachers also stepped forward one by one: "Leader, what should we do? There must be an explanation. How can our positions be lost without any reason? There is also the issue of seniority. We can't have attended all the classes in vain!"
The young man was annoyed. He glared and said, "What are you arguing about? Didn't I tell you to wait for the news?"
The young man also said: "Is this the entrance to the Education Bureau? If you dare to cause trouble here, do you believe I will call the police to arrest you all?"
Call the police to arrest you all...
This is a common tactic used by many officials to scare ordinary people. It is old-fashioned but effective, especially for these teachers, who all have families. Once they are caught, their lives will be over.
"They are all teachers, but they don't know any rules!"
The young man said this and immediately turned and left, showing his attitude of just dealing with people.
Watching the young people leave, the teachers sighed and didn't know what to do.
Someone suggested that we go back and think of a solution.
Xia Shulan immediately jumped out to object: "We can't just let it go like this! The cadre just now was simply fooling us. We must find a leader who can take charge. If the Education Bureau doesn't work, we will go to the county party committee and county government. If the county doesn't work, we will go to the city. There will always be someone who can take charge of us!"
Teacher Dong and the others were all frightened and blamed Xia Shulan and told her to shut up.
"What does a little girl know at such a young age? Don't get involved!"
"Didn't you hear me say I was going to call the police? Do you want to be arrested?"
"Those people are unreasonable. We can't confront them head-on!"
"Let's think of other ways..."
Xia Shulan pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, but she had no choice facing these school seniors.
At this time, Lu An raised his hand and said, "Teacher, I have a way. Why don't you try to report it to the Letters and Calls Bureau?"
