Chapter 7 Caught off guard
On Monday, Yi Xinnong arrived at school early, she woke up at four o'clock last night, and she never slept again, but when it was close to six o'clock, she lay on the living room table for a while, and then she was no longer sleepy, and made herself an excellent breakfast, freshly ground five-grain soy milk, an omelette, two side dishes, respectively, cold jellyfish shreds and sweet and sour lotus root slices, she likes to eat refreshing things. Then I carefully mopped the floor again, and then washed and put on makeup, and changed clothes.
She used to be used to not doing these chores, and always felt trivial and a waste of time, she would rather read more books to replenish her spiritual food or simply sit in a daze and let her thoughts wander.
However, in recent years, she has changed, and she has begun to fall in love with these materialistic and trivial things of life.
At first, it was because her brain was blank when she was busy with work, which made her more relaxed than ever, I remember watching "Deep Love and Rain" when I was a child, Yiping broke up with He Shuhuan, Yiping was in pain, she only rubbed her clothes vigorously, rubbed her palms and broke, and she didn't let go, she didn't understand when she was a child, but later she empathized with this feeling, and knew that being busy was really a very good way to decompress.
When she was in high school, she would indulge in schoolwork to distract her attention, and she would also find time to take care of the flowers and plants she raised, and she also learned to weave, so that she would not be idle for a moment.
People are like this, the more complex the spirit and thinking, the more painful it will be, and the thoughts are like wool, too much and too thin, and they will wrap themselves.
Looking around the great literary artists of ancient and modern times, almost all of them have the characteristics of being delicate, stubborn, twisted, and drilling.
When she was very young, Yi Xinong was often praised by her teachers and classmates for her keen observation and delicate mind, and she was also proud of her possession of this trait, but since that summer, she has taken the initiative to abandon this trait because it is too painful and difficult.
Wang Xiaobo once said that in the golden age of my life, I have a lot of extravagant hopes. I want to love, I want to eat, and I want to be a half-light cloud in the sky in an instant. Later, I learned that life is a slow process of being hammered, people grow old day by day, and their extravagant hopes disappear day by day, and finally they become like cattle that have been hammered. But I didn't foresee this when I celebrated my twenty-first birthday. I felt like I was going to be alive forever and nothing could hit me.
Yi Xinnong felt that this sentence was only half right, because people not only become dull when they are hammered, but also take the initiative to become dull themselves, because they have seen other people being hammered, and they vaguely foresee that being beaten is inevitable.
She hung a self-portrait of Van Gogh on the wall of her bedroom, the one with her ears cut off and her head wrapped in white gauze, which she always used to warn herself to become dull and not to be swallowed up by paranoia.
Yes, she still likes to watch the clouds and fog, read and write, but she rarely allows herself to reminisce and touch things that are too heavy.
The more people grow up, the more fragile and cowardly they become, and she is no longer fierce, and she is willing not to be fierce again.
She learns to take the initiative to become dull and not to be fierce, because if she is dull, she can no longer think of him easily, and because she is no longer fierce, she can leave the past behind.
In the days when Gu Zhanqiao left, the doubts, depression, and pain about him slowly disappeared with Yi Xinong's initiative to change and compromise.
Yi Xinong arrived at school early today, on the one hand, considering that the school would have a regular flag-raising ceremony on Monday, and on the other hand, he wanted to go to the school's academic affairs office as soon as possible to hand over the contract to Yu Qing.
If the guess is correct, Yu Qing should have arrived at the office.
The Academic Affairs Office is one of the busiest departments in the entire school. But she knew that Yu Qing was responsible for her work and had the habit of coming to the office early, even if she had a big belly, her habits would not change in the slightest.
Sure enough, before she entered the office, she heard Yu Qing on the phone, she knocked on the door, Yu Qing heard the sound, turned around and nodded to her, looked at the sofa by the wall, and motioned for her to sit and wait for a while.
Yi Xinnong obediently nodded and sat down on the sofa.
The phone hung up, Yu Qing smiled at her, "Coming?" Then, holding the table with one hand and holding his stomach with the other hand to stand up, Yi Xinong hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "You sit first, don't move back and forth." I'll give you the contract. ”
"Oops, don't worry, I ate too much in the morning, and I feel a little bit overloaded when I sit all the time. ”
Yi Xinnong didn't insist anymore, took out the documents from his bag and handed them to Yu Qing. "I've seen it and there's no problem. ”
"Okay, thank you this time. In a week's time, we will start construction on our new campus, and we will have to be in frequent contact with the builders, and then we will have to bother you. When Yi Xinong heard this, she only felt shocked in her heart, a string of question marks appeared above her head, everyone knows about the construction of the new campus of the school, but she is a small transparent teacher of the school, she originally went to get the contract yesterday, and when she knew that Gu Zhanqiao was the general person in charge of this project, it was enough for her to be shocked, and now Yu Qing said that she would bother her in the future.
Yu Qing saw that she was stunned, and she didn't answer, just smiled faintly, and asked her again: "The 13th class of the first year of junior high school you are taking now turned out to be Teacher Zhou's class, right?"
"Yes. Yi Xinnong was noncommittal, and now the 13th class of the first year of junior high school she is taking was originally from the old teacher Teacher Zhou, but last semester she gave birth to her second child and took maternity leave, so she was asked to take it temporarily.
"Okay, that's okay, you have to have a class in a while, transfer it with other teachers, and come to the small conference room of the Academic Affairs Office at half past nine for a meeting. ”
Yi Xinnong was stunned again, remembering that he had just flipped through the school newsletter and did not notify him that there would be a meeting at half past nine.
Yu Qing probably saw Yi Xinong's question, and just smiled and said to her, "Just come, the school has arranged a new task for you." ”
At half past nine, Yi Xinong came to the small conference room on time, only to see that the small conference room was already sitting Yu Qing, director of the Academic Affairs Office, Liu Qingshan, director of the Logistics Office, and Li Yonghong, deputy director of the office. ”
Yi Xinong suddenly felt sweat on her back when she faced the director of a room, her teaching performance in school was good, but she barely interfered in school affairs, and she was almost a little transparent, she didn't understand why she was called for such a level of meeting.
Before I sat down, I saw Vice Principal Jiao Qian walking in, everyone stood up to greet him, Jiao Xiao just pressed his hand down and motioned for everyone to sit.
He glanced at it, "I see that the personnel are all here, let's get started." "The voice is powerful and has unquestionable majesty. Speaking of which, Jiao Xiao also came to Zhengyi not long ago, only three years, but he worked steadily and pragmatically, and was sincere and courteous, and in just a few years, he gained the love of the teachers of Zhengyi Middle School, and everyone affectionately called him Jiao School.
Moreover, the management effect in the past three years has been remarkable, and he has also won the recognition and trust of the principal Wang Jian.
Zhengyi School is divided into high school and junior high school, and because it is the focus of the city, the usual management tasks are heavy, the principal Wang Jian saw that Jiao School was capable, so he let him be in charge of all junior high school, and he freed his hands to concentrate on managing the high school.
"There has been another change in the matter of the new campus in the junior high school", he glanced at it, "Originally, this matter has been said, Director Yu is not in good health, and he handed it over to Mr. Kang in the same office, but Mr. Kang's father suddenly became seriously ill the night before yesterday and entered the intensive care unit, we all know that Mr. Kang is the only seedling in the family, the old mother has also passed away, and the care task at home is heavy, and he may not be able to continue to be responsible for the construction of the new campus." I would like to ask you if you are willing to take responsibility, or if there is a suitable person around you to take over. ”
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer, and being in charge of the construction of the new campus sounded like a fat gap, but it was very bitter at all.
If you are in charge of the project, you must often run the construction site, and the new campus is in the suburbs far away from the city center, and the school teachers are in short supply, all of them are a radish and a pit, and there are no idlers at all, which means that if you are in charge of the project, you have to work two jobs, and you are usually responsible for engineering matters in addition to disciplining students.
What's even more terrifying is that the new campus will not be completed until February next year at the earliest, which means that you have to give up the winter break. Teachers are used to winter and summer vacations, and they have to travel abroad, who cares about your project, not to mention, although they are here in the south of the Yangtze River, the winter is cold and biting.
In short, whoever takes this job now is a fool.
At the beginning, the school project was scheduled to start in March and be completed at the end of June, when the spring was bright and the grass was growing and the warbler was flying, which was the most beautiful and comfortable season in the south of the Yangtze River, and Yu Qing was not pregnant at that time.
However, I didn't expect that there was a problem with the capital turnover and approval of the intermediate project, so it has been delayed. At that time, Yu Qing saw that this project was far away, so he indulged a little and accidentally became pregnant with a second child.
Seeing that no one answered, Jiao Xiao said again, "I have communicated with Teacher Yu last night, she said that she was originally responsible for this matter, and then pushed it to Teacher Kang because of her own physical reasons, and she has already been reluctant to go, and now Teacher Kang has something at home, she is not good at pushing others, but her body is inconvenient, so she proposed to me to find a helper, saying that Teacher Yi is good, I think Teacher Yi is young and right, do you have any objections?"
Everyone looked at Yi Xinnong, who was sitting on the side, and saw that she was shocked, obviously not expecting what had just happened.
Everyone felt that the hot potato had finally settled, so they just nodded vigorously and clapped their hands, "Yes and yes." ”
Jiao Xiao looked at Yi Xinong, "Teacher Yi has always been down-to-earth and conscientious, and his teaching performance is also very good. ”
Yi Xinnong has not had any special positive communication with Jiao Xiao, in the face of his "earnest" gaze, she only feels inexplicable and at a loss, she heard that Jiao Xiao is sincere and steady, but what happened today, is it that I am going to be driven to the shelf?
Seeing the hesitation flashing in her eyes, Principal Jiao looked at her again, "If Teacher Yi is inconvenient, you can also say it, let's find a way, although there will be difficulties, but there is always a way, but I think with Teacher Yi's talent and hard work, everything can be done very well, right, Teacher Yi?"
Yi Xinnong knew that Jiao Xiao was wearing a high hat for himself, but he had already spoken to this extent, and the directors of all the departments attending the meeting were there, and at this time, even if there were thousands of people who were unwilling, they could only nod and agree.
In fact, there is nothing inappropriate for her to give this task, she is a single girl, and she is far away from home, compared to some middle-aged teachers, it is more free.
Hey, just take it, let's take it, let's go hard, Yi Xinnong comforted himself.
But, wait, yesterday Gu Zhanqiao said that he was the general person in charge of this project? On the way back to the office, Yi Xinong suddenly thought of this question, and his heart suddenly tensed.
Could it be ······ Is he working for Longsheng Group?
Could it be ······ I'm going to work with him?
