Chapter 37: Is This the Life You Want?
Leng Jun left the principal's office and walked directly to the lecture hall on the first floor.
Leng Jun has been looking for Li Xueya for so long, and he has calculated everything, but he didn't expect that Ding Chunqiu would let Li Xueya go to the ladder classroom to reflect.
The lecture hall is usually a place for public classes, and few people usually go there, and I am afraid that the lecture hall is already covered with a layer of floating ash now.
Gently pushing open the door and walking into the classroom, Leng Jun found that there was a person with a cloak lying on the podium, and that person was Li Xueya, who seemed to be sobbing softly.
Li Xueya heard the movement beside her, quickly wiped away her tears and turned her head to look, and found that it was Leng Jun: "Why are you running here, isn't it self-study time now!"
Leng Jun looked at Li Xueya's red and swollen eyes, obviously she had been crying for a long time, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "The teacher said in the last class that you couldn't arrive in time for some personal reasons, and she came to arrange the exam room for you, I'm a little worried about you, so I'll take a look." β
"I'm fine, don't worry. Just a few minor misunderstandings, I'll fix it. Li Xueya may have been so sad that she didn't notice how Leng Jun found such a hidden place as the lecture hall.
Seeing that Li Xueya was pretending to be strong, Leng Jun felt a little uncomfortable in his heart: "Teacher Li, in fact, you don't have to be like this at all. Tell the truth to Principal Ding, and that's it. It's a very simple thing, why do you have to hide it, concealing it will only complicate things, which will give a villain like Liu Chuanfeng the opportunity to wear small shoes in secret. β
"You know everything about me?" Li Xueya didn't expect Leng Jun to figure out the whole story so quickly. Then he said in a depressed mood: "Why should I hide it? Are you blaming me? I'm not afraid that your self-esteem is too strong, in case the school leaders inadvertently spread the news that I gave you money, how can you hold your head up in front of teachers and classmates in the future, why don't you even blame me for being ignorant now!"
Li Xueya said as she spoke, tears slipped down her eyes with grievances.
Leng Jun said softly: "I don't mean to blame you, I say this because I feel indebted to you." Thank you for thinking so much about me, thank you for taking on so much pressure for me behind my back, I am very touched. But you also have to think about yourself, you know? When I went to the principal just now, Liu Chuanfeng was in the office urging the principal to fire you!"
Leng Jun sighed, and said in an aggravated tone: "You are too stupid? Stupid and distressing, can't you think about your own interests in advance? Do you know the consequences of your expulsion? Then you will ruin your entire career, and no school will dare to hire you again in the future!"
Li Xueya suddenly looked up at Leng Jun, her eyes were filled with tears and she said, "You mean, I've been expelled?"
Seeing Li Xueya's pitiful appearance, Leng Jun hurriedly explained: "Don't cry, don't cry, the matter has been successfully resolved." Principal Ding now knows that you want to protect my self-esteem, so he didn't tell him the reason for the incident, so he said that he must praise your behavior in person in the future, you are what a young teacher should look like!"
Hearing Leng Jun's words, Li Xueya's hanging heart finally let go, and she rarely smiled, the profession of teacher is really Li Xueya's dream since she was a child. The three-foot podium is the most sacred place in the world in Li Xueya's mind, and if she is really expelled, she will regret and be sad for the rest of her life.
In Leng Jun's words, Li Xueya experienced frustrationβ confusion β happiness, and finally came back to life with full blood at this moment, and then glared at Leng Jun with a resentful face and said: "You kid, why are you talking and panting! Look at what scared me, did you do it on purpose!"
"Teacher Li, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean it, I did it on purpose. β
Hearing Leng Jun's words, Li Xueya directly got up and raised her hand to beat Leng Jun. But Leng Jun's steps were vigorous, and he dodged with a false move, Li Xueya subconsciously chased after him, but Leng Jun's waist accidentally knocked on the lectern and had to stop his figure.
This sudden pause made Li Xueya have no time to brake, and directly crashed into Leng Jun's arms.
If someone secretly took pictures at this time, then Li Xueya would definitely jump into the Yellow River again and couldn't wash it.
Li Xueya hurriedly took a step back, her expression was a little unnatural, and she changed the topic and said, "By the way, you said that Teacher Liu was encouraging the principal to fire me behind his back, is it because we embarrassed him in the office in the morning." Why do you think he's so bad, he's too cautious. β
Leng Jun looked at Li Xueya in front of him who was embarrassed and speechless, and her appearance was quite cute.
Li Xueya found that Leng Jun had been staring at herself and didn't say anything, and she felt uncomfortable all over, and said in a little panic in her heart: "Leng Jun, what are you doing?"
"Liu Chuanfeng, you don't need to call him Teacher Liu in the future. I think it won't be long before he'll be fired from the principal. β
Leng Jun's words made Li Xueya's eyes widen.
Leng Jun was very satisfied with Li Xueya's surprised reaction, and continued to say seriously: "Teacher Li, in this school in the future, with me, no one will dare to bully you, no matter who he is!"
Hearing Leng Jun's promise, Li Xueya wondered if the other party really had some thoughts in his heart that he shouldn't have, after all, it was the age of adolescence, and some impulsive thoughts in the child's heart were also unavoidable. Li Xueya's brain is running to the extreme, and she has been thinking about how to guide Leng Jun.
But in the face of Leng Jun's deep gaze, Li Xueya was really Alexander, this child's eyes were too oppressive, and she had to use words to relieve the suffocation feeling in her heart that she was so oppressed that she couldn't breathe: "Classmate Leng Jun, Mr. Liu, he is also in his forties after all, will it be too cruel for a person to be expelled like this in middle age." β
"OMG!Mr. Li, you have just come back from the line of life and death, and now you want to save the person who dragged you into the water? Forgot the story of the farmer and the snake? I hope that your kindness can be a little sharp in the future, and if kindness is given to the wrong person, it will be a disaster!"
Leng Jun's words made Li Xueya nod.
In fact, Leng Jun didn't understand that Li Xueya's kindness this time was just an excuse ~ to alleviate the embarrassment caused by the two sides looking at each other.
Seeing that Li Xueya accepted her point of view, Leng Jun briefly sorted out the logic and said a suggestion that affected Li Xueya's original life trajectory. It can also be said that this conversation, Leng Jun directly affected the established track of Li Xueya's fate.
"Teacher Li, you asked me to sign up for the summer vacation crash class. Have you ever thought about opening one yourself?"
"I've only been working for two years, and I don't think I'm qualified to do that. If it's okay to be a one-on-one tutor, but if I open more than 1V classes, I feel that I can't bring students more useful knowledge outside of class ~ than in school classrooms. I don't want to waste my students' time outside of class for money. β
Leng Jun didn't expect Li Xueya's sense of responsibility to be so strong, in an era when money is everything, Li Xueya was unmoved, which greatly exceeded Leng Jun's expectations: "Teacher Li, do you have your own career plan?"
"I really didn't think about it that much, I just love this three-foot podium, I just like the feeling of teaching and educating people, and I will feel a sense of accomplishment when I see the seeds grow under my own seeding. As long as I can stand on this podium for the rest of my life, external things such as career planning or teaching titles are dispensable for me. β
Leng Jun frowned slightly, he didn't like Li Xueya's desireless state: "Teacher Li, in this society, whether it is the teaching profession or any other enterprise, the division of labor is becoming more and more refined, everyone has their own responsibilities and duties, and they only need to manage their own one-third of an acre of land in their work, and it's OK." But this has a disadvantage, that is, in the long run, it will limit the improvement of personal ability. β
When Li Xueya heard Leng Jun's clear words, she was touched in her heart, and she agreed with Leng Jun's logic.
Seeing that Li Xueya nodded, Leng Jun was slightly relieved, and continued: "Now everyone's work is ~ repetitive work after the refined division of labor. Usually everyone only needs to complete the work of their own position, and the task is completed. But in this way, everyone can only grasp the single-line business, but not the overall business! You can only see the trees, but you can't see the whole forest!
There is a saying in the Chinese textbook that it is very good that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. In the same way, if we are in a unit or enterprise, if we just guard our posts comfortably, instead of putting ourselves in the position of a leader to think and exert strength. Then in this comfortable environment, it is easy for you to stand still! What you accumulate over time is not experience and experience, but only meaningless repetition, and your personal ability has not been exercised and grown at all!
Mr. Li, let's imagine if you would work hard in the same position for the next twenty or thirty years until you retired. So did you live for more than 10,000 days in this most precious time of your life, or did you live for one day and repeat it more than 10,000 times?
Leng Jun's words were like a bolt of lightning, slashing down on Li Xueya's head.
Leng Jun's heart-wrenching questions kept echoing in Li Xueya's ears, and Li Xueya was forced into a corner by these words, and there was no way to retreat.
Leng Jun could see that Li Xueya was struggling in her heart at this moment, she was fighting against her own behavior patterns in the past, and she had not clearly realized that what she had thought was wrong.
