Liu Qingyi

He suddenly felt that the profession of teaching was so sacred, and his entire fighting spirit burst forth in an instant!

As he passed by, he attracted some curious glances and whispered discussions from female students, so he arrogantly pushed up the glasses on his nose.

Just as he passed by the basketball court, a basketball bounced to his feet, and one of the big boys on the court, wearing a Cleveland Cavaliers jersey like LeBron James, aggressively shouted at him, "Hey, four eyes, are you blind? Hurry up and throw the ball over here."

Ye Chong furrowed his brows, suppressed his anger, and silently told himself: "I am a teacher."

So, he adjusted his glasses and threw the ball back.

After the boy caught the ball, he said something to his teammates on the court, and suddenly there was laughter all around. The girls on the sidelines even cast disdainful glances.

The boy deliberately wanted to show off in front of the girls. After grabbing the ball, he drove straight in and then dunked, earning cheers from the girls.

Ye Chong shook his head, turned around to leave, when someone called out, "Hey, four eyes, stop."

He turned around to see the big boy holding the basketball, swaggering towards him with a few teammates. He deliberately bumped the ball against the man's chest and caught it back, with a hint of disdain in his mouth, "How come I've never seen you before?"

"I'm looking for someone," Ye Chong said calmly, even admiring himself for not losing his temper with the other guy for so long.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Su Moning."

The big boy pretended to be surprised, "Wow, that's someone with a background. She's the crush of all the boys in our school."

Ye Chong smiled faintly, "Do you want me to make her strip naked for you to see?"

The big boy tilted his head, then used the ball to hit the man's chest, "Four eyes, you're quite arrogant, don't think you're something just because you know her. She's still begging my dad."

Ye Chong's interest was piqued, "Would you dare tell me your dad's name?"

"Teng Hua Construction Company's boss, Ma Hong!"

How coincidental, even Ye Chong hadn't expected to encounter Ma Hong's hooligan on the first day of school. No wonder the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Only someone like that could produce such a weirdo.

He remained composed, "What's your name?"

"Listen carefully, I'm Ma Yuechuan, the boss of the basketball court at Elite High School!"

Ye Chong pretended to clean his ears, "I must be ignorant. I haven't even heard of such a badass figure."

Ma Yuechuan's eyes widened, and even the big guys around him were eager to try. The girls beside them were excited as if they had taken aphrodisiacs.

Ma Yuechuan took a step forward, pressing his chest against Ye Chong's, "I don't know why, but when I saw your sorry figure just now, I couldn't help but want to hit you."

Ye Chong adjusted his glasses and smiled, "Have you not been home for the past few days?"

"How the hell do you know?"

"I suggest you go home if you have time and see your dad."

Ma Yuechuan grabbed his clothes, "You better make it clear, what do you mean?"

Ye Chong looked down at his hand, his expression gradually turning dark, "I'll count to three. If you don't let go by then, I guarantee you'll regret it for the rest of your life."

"Heh, did you all hear that? Four eyes is going to play math. He's going to lose his temper."

"One!"

"Two!"

Ye Chong's voice was calm. He knew what he would do when he reached "three", but the cute Slam Dunk and his companions didn't know yet.

"Three!" Before the words had finished, the bell for class suddenly rang. Ma Yuechuan pushed him away, "Four eyes, you're lucky today. Don't let me see you again, or you'll regret it!"

With that, he walked towards the teaching building with his companions, even turning back to make a rude gesture.

Ye Chong breathed a sigh of relief, not for himself but for the other person. If the bell hadn't rung just then, he might have committed a crime in this campus, which he regarded as his only sanctuary.

Thinking that he might be teaching at this school in the future, he suddenly felt worried about Ma Yuechuan. His father had already been turned into a vegetable by himself, and if he were to be turned into a vegetable again, how could such a depraved family maintain itself?

If Su Moning found out, with her compassion and kindness, how would she look at him?

Shaking off those distracting thoughts, he headed straight for the office building.

He told the security guard the name "Su Moning" and explained his purpose. The guard was polite enough to take him directly to the principal's office.

The door was open, and when he went in, he saw a woman standing quietly by the window. Hearing the footsteps, she slowly turned around, and it was none other than Su Moning!

By now, she had changed into a navy blue professional suit, with a white shirt underneath, her long hair tied up behind her head, exuding a few more calm and dignified vibes between her eyebrows.

"You're not the principal, are you?"

Su Moning just smiled lightly and gestured for him to sit down. "Mr. Ye, please have a seat."

Ye Chong was moved. How come this girl seemed to have changed completely in one day? Her entire demeanor was different, even her tone of voice was unfamiliar.

"Sorry, I had something yesterday, so..."

Unexpectedly, she interrupted him before he could finish, "Let's talk about your new job. According to the regulations, you don't have relevant teaching experience and cannot be recruited directly. You can only serve as a temporary substitute teacher in the capacity of an intern teacher, and since you don't have identification, you cannot sign a formal labor contract. We can only sign a written agreement for now. The duration of the work is tentatively set for three months. After three months, if you can adapt to the new job, the school will consider absorbing you as a formal employee and actively seek a permanent position for you. Otherwise, you will have to leave the school and find another job. Here's the agreement. Take a look, and if there are no problems, sign it."

Suddenly, she appeared so businesslike. Ye Chong was a little surprised at first, but soon he understood. They were just strangers who had met by chance. Being serious would be better than losing out.

Su Moning said solemnly, "There are some things I must make clear. You will be substituting for the entire second year's physical education class. Don't think physical education is unimportant. Many universities now attach great importance to students' physical fitness, and some even directly refer to their high school physical education grades. Go to the resource room and get a set of physical education textbooks, study them carefully, and integrate into your work as soon as possible."

"No problem."

"Additionally, you'll be acting as the homeroom teacher for Class 8 of Grade 12."

"Isn't it just acting as a homeroom teacher? It's a small matter."

"If you think it's simple, you're mistaken. Elite High School is a nationally recognized model school. We have clear class divisions, based on student performance, divided into four tiers. The first tier is the Rocket Class, which is the school's focus for cultivating top students and where teaching resources are concentrated. The second tier is the Experimental Class, which guarantees admission to top universities. The third tier is the Key Class, mainly ensuring a high college admission rate. The fourth tier is the Ordinary Class, but don't let the name fool you; so far, only one has been established, and in fact, it's an off-the-books class."

"What do you mean?"

"Elite High School admits elite students, but for the school to have long-term development, it needs more funding and policy support. Therefore, it has to accept some students with special backgrounds but substandard grades. Hence, the off-the-books class."

"I see. So, the students in that class all have special backgrounds?"

"Exactly. No one has been willing to be the homeroom teacher for that class all along. I hope you can take on this heavy responsibility."

"You want a burly construction worker like me to handle those students with power and influence. I must say, it's quite amusing."

"Ignorance breeds fear. It's precisely because you haven't dealt with these types of people that you dare to take charge."

"What are the rules of engagement?"

"What?"

"I mean, what's the extent of authority you're giving me?"

"What kind of authority do you want?"

Ye Chong didn't mince words. He picked up the woman's teacup and took a big sip, wiping his mouth with his sleeve. "All the talk is useless. Anyway, I've never been a teacher before. I'm just a rough person. I don't care about any rules. I'll do things my own way."

Su Moning frowned. "What can you guarantee?"

"I can only guarantee that nobody dies."

Su Moning's expression turned serious. "Mr. Ye, did I not make myself clear earlier?"

Ye Chong sat on her desk, stroking the woman's smooth cheek with the back of his hand. "Alright, we've discussed work matters. Now, let's talk about us..."

The woman's expression changed, and she leaned back. "Here, we only have one relationship, that of principal and employee. I hope you understand."

Ye Chong shrugged indifferently, not minding. "Madam Principal, should I wait for your notification to start, or should I begin immediately today?"

"No rush. Today, familiarize yourself with the environment and get to know your new colleagues." She picked up the phone. "Director Liu, please come in."

As soon as she hung up the phone, she began flipping through documents, not even sparing Ye Chong a glance.

Ye Chong didn't bother either. He picked up a few magazines from the rack, flipping through them with relish.

Just as he had flipped through a couple of pages, Su Moning snatched the magazine away and replaced it with a copy of "Modern High School Psychology." Ye Chong didn't refuse, but he was dismayed to find that despite flipping through it for a while, he couldn't find a single illustration.

As he was bored, there came a few knocks on the door. Su Moning responded, and the door opened. The first thing Ye Chong saw was a pair of sizzling black stockings. As the person strode in proudly, Ye Chong took in the full view. In this era of big data, he quickly derived a set of data that interested him greatly.

The person was around thirty, with a well-proportioned figure and tight skin. She wore a light blue shirt and a dark blue skirt suit, giving off an elegant and beautiful aura, ripe for picking.

The only regret was her expression, which was monotonous. After this woman came in, she didn't even spare him a glance, but went straight to Su Moning.

"This is Director Liu Qingyi, the grade director for Grade 12," Su Moning introduced.

Ye Chong pursed his lips and reached out his hand. "Director Liu, please take care of me in the future."

Unexpectedly, the woman didn't even glance at him, but directly said to Su Moning, "Principal, I've always been opposed to this person joining. Since you insist, I have no choice."

"Regardless, he'll be your new colleague in the future, so you'll have to take care of him."

Director Liu nodded and turned to leave. Ye Chong's hand was left hanging in mid-air.

"Go on. She might seem difficult to approach, but she's a good person. Whether you can satisfy her is the first step to adapting to your new job."

"You mean whether I can stay isn't certain yet, and it depends on this woman whether I can adapt to the new job?"

"Exactly. It depends on your ability."
