Chapter 15 is embattled

After a morning of visiting, Zhou Shuo probably touched the entire situation of the first high school. Judging from the information he has so far, it is really shocking. No wonder Director He dared to hand over a senior high school to a person he met for the first time, maybe in fact, no one dared to take over this position except himself?

To this day, it is a miracle that this school still exists. There is no morale among the teachers and no learning atmosphere among the students. The equipment is outdated, the environment is dirty, the work is overworked, and the teaching content is seriously out of touch with the actual development......

After thinking about it for a long time, I haven't figured out where to start with this mess. In the afternoon, Zhou Shuo called accountant Liu Guifang to go to the police station to bring people back.

Liu Guifang followed him to the bank and said nervously: "Principal Zhou, our school's finances are already tight, and then I went to the more than 5,000 yuan......

"Oh!" Zhou Shuo raised his head in a trance, woke up from his thoughts and said, "I will pay this money, so I should regard it as what the school owes me." ”

"That's more than 5,000 pieces!" Liu Guifang covered her mouth and looked at him in surprise. In the current situation of the school, it is nice to say that borrowing money is good, but the ugly thing is that the meat buns beat the dog, and there is no return.

Zhou Shuo withdrew 6,000 yuan from the bank, and Liu Guifang first entered the account. So the two turned around and went to the police station, compensated for the loss of the grocery store, and finally took out the three retired old men and old ladies.

Three old men who were almost 200 years old surrounded him and complained complainingly: "Hey, Principal Zhou, you are really a good person, these bastards of the Education Bureau!" I have taught the country all my life, and when I am old, I don't even order food, I just have a conscience to ask a dog to eat! ”

Zhou Shuo was surrounded by them and spit out for a long time, patiently comforting: "Don't be angry, don't worry, the school will get better step by step." Your deeds will never be forgotten! ”

As he spoke, the families of the old men rushed over and finally brought them back.

Back at the school, Zhou Shuo stood at the school gate and looked around, Liu Guifang asked strangely, "Principal Zhou, is there anything wrong with the gate of our school?" ”

He looked at it thoughtfully for a while, and then said to Liu Guifang, "Oh, it's nothing. I want to walk around the school, you go in first. ”

Liu Guifang sighed in her heart, she originally thought that a high school finally came to a principal who was willing to do things in a down-to-earth manner, and how much could make this old school go through this most decently journey. I didn't expect that I was still a young man in the end, and I couldn't sit still after only half a day of work.

It's just that she has some city government in her heart, and she doesn't show these on her face, but still respectfully agrees and silently walks into the school.

Zhou Shuo walked along the Yan'an Road at the entrance of the high office, and the traffic conditions here were actually very good. There are two intersections to the Xiucheng Central Hospital, a little far north of the school is a three-story flower, bird, fish, insects and antique market, west is a whole half of the street of vegetables, fish and meat wholesale market, south is the endless residential buildings on Baoan Street.

It can be said that it is located at the intersection of this residential area and the commercial area, and it is rare that the street with the main entrance is quiet, and the wide road is planted with locust trees on both sides, but there is no noisy traffic of people.

Zhou Shuo slowly and leisurely turned around, and it was almost three o'clock. As soon as he entered the school gate, he was immediately surrounded by a group of old men and old ladies who came out of nowhere.

"Principal Zhou, this is my reimbursement invoice for medical treatment over the years, you can't ignore it!"

"Principal Zhou, this is my wife's funeral expenses, and the school promised to give it at the beginning!"

"Principal Zhou, the school still owes me last year's travel expenses, and my son still expects this money to go to college!"

Zhou Shuo was dizzy by the noisy minds of this group of people, and hurriedly shouted: "Be quiet, please be quiet!" If you have any problems, tell them one by one, otherwise nothing will be solved! ”

After arguing for a long time, I don't know if his shouting played a role, or if everyone was tired of arguing, in short, the voice gradually became quieter. An old man with white hair stood up and said, "Principal Zhou, we are all retired employees with a high position, and we owe a lot of accounts that should be reimbursed by the school over the years, I'm afraid it's not a problem, right?" ”

Zhou Shuo raised his eyes and looked in the direction of speaking, only to see that the old man who stood up was full of wrinkles, although he had gorgeous hair, he still did not lose his full spirit. He wore a gray shirt of inferior quality, and a crooked crutch in his hand was rubbed against the light.

Zhou Shuo was not a chick who didn't know anything, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "Since you are all teachers, the welfare expenses are naturally reimbursed by the Education Bureau, how did you find a school?" ”

The old man stomped his feet when he heard this, and sighed: "Hey, who is still in the first post of the establishment, he has already been transferred!" Our group of old bones are all supernumerary teachers recruited when the years were good, and the relationship is hanging in the school, and the Education Bureau does not recognize us at all! ”

Zhou Shuo looked at the past, such a group of twenty or thirty people surrounded him, and the school now had 20,000 yuan left in the books, and it was impossible to clear these accounts. I had to say: "I understand the mood of the old man, but you also know the current situation of the school, and it is really difficult. Can you please wait, give me a month or two, and I will definitely help you solve the problem! ”

After he said this, everyone fell silent, neither good nor bad, but still surrounded him. The white-haired old man said: "Principal Zhou, anyway, my old man doesn't have a few years to live, since others don't want to say it, then I'll break it down - we really don't believe that the school can survive any longer, maybe it will close down in a few days, and then the pension will be gone, not to mention, even the debts accumulated in previous years will have to be yellow!" You can do it, and give us more or less reimbursement! ”

Zhou Shuo saw that they were pitiful, and his heart was sour, and he sighed and said: "It's better like this, tomorrow I will go to the Education Bureau to ask for a sum of money, and when this money comes back, how about I try my best to squeeze out some for everyone?" ”

It stands to reason that his words can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, and Zhou Shuo originally wanted to have this guarantee enough. I didn't want to wait for a long time, but I still didn't see the crowd disperse, but I didn't know who in the crowd shouted: "Principal Zhou, we all know that you are a rich man, and you spent 100,000 yuan just to contract a high position, and you took out five or six thousand to go to the police station without blinking your eyes." You should have pity on us old immortals, we don't care how you make money, but you have to pay off our debts! ”

Zhou Shuo looked at the silent crowd dumbfounded, he never expected that they would fight with this idea! These people have all been teachers in the past, have they all forgotten what is called courtesy, righteousness and shame?

Cang Liao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing, Zhou Shuo is indeed a little harsh when he thinks so. Although the large-scale layoffs have not yet set off a wave in the country, as a time-honored brand in the old industrial base in Northeast China, the economic structure of Xiucheng is too old, and enterprises with poor efficiency abound. In the process of planning the transformation of the economy into a market economy, it is only the beginning that the tragic situation that has manifested itself has completely changed the social atmosphere.

These people can't see what tomorrow will bring, and they can't even grasp the life in front of them, and the precariousness can be said to be a true portrayal of their psychology. They don't care where the high school will go in the future, anyway, there are too many units in society that have closed down, and there are too many workers who have been laid off! Real life tells them an iron rule: money only counts when you get it!

But don't say that Zhou Shuo is only a high contractor, and it is inexplicable for him to bear these debts. Even if a high position is his private property, it is impossible to use all the money in his hand to pay them benefits. Precious liquidity must be used to create profits, and when a senior can rely on his own strength to make blood, I am afraid that he will have the ability to fill these loopholes. Otherwise, it is not a question of whether to save these people or not, but to be dragged by these old people to die together!

Zhou Shuo calmed down the churning anger in his heart, and at this time it was useless to lose his temper, so he had to take out the promise he had made to the workers and promise it to these old people and said: "I ask everyone to give me a chance, and please give a chance to the last one!" Since you know that I spent 100,000 yuan to contract a high position, you should know that I won't watch it fall down! Isn't this school a sweat from you? Do you want to push it into the abyss with your own hands? ”

He said this, his sharp eyes swept over the crowd, these old people did not completely lose their shame, but they were oppressed by the burden of life and had to act against their will. Under his gaze, Mo lowered his head in shame.

Zhou Shuo nodded with satisfaction and continued: "I am here to assure you that the situation of the school will definitely improve in a month or two. If I can't solve some of the difficulties for you within two months, I promise to give up the contract for a high position! The remaining contracting fee is reserved for all employees of a high position! ”

Hearing him say this, these retired workers were all moved. Originally, these people made unreasonable demands, but they didn't expect Zhou Shuo to make such an oath. They asked themselves, no matter what, they couldn't think of a way to improve the school's situation in a month or two, could this new principal really be a good person like Lei Feng?

Regardless of the answer, they finally see a glimmer of hope for a solution. The white-haired old man looked him up and down a few times, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, let's believe Principal Zhou this time, I hope you won't let us down!" After the old man finished speaking, everyone moved their steps, and finally made way for him to enter the campus.

Zhou Shuo passed through the crowd, and couldn't help but think as he walked, who felt his every move so clearly and announced it to everyone?
