Chapter 08: Appeals

The words of the township mayor He Zhiyuan were loud, and the teachers led by Chen Pinghe and Wang Xiangmin looked at each other, not knowing how to deal with them for a while.

Seeing this, Dong Ziying, the deputy head of the township, stepped forward and said:

"Teacher Chen, Teacher Wang, I understand your eagerness to get your salary as soon as possible, but you have been waiting for eight months, and you don't care about these three days."

"If the township chief does not hand over the arrears of wages to you after three days, you can go to the township administration. When the government went to ask for an explanation, we not only did not stop it, but clapped our hands to welcome it. ”

He Zhiyuan's attitude was very resolute, and he made it clear in front of everyone that he would reply to the teachers in three days.

Dong Ziying believes that he will never fool the teachers in the township in this matter, and he will definitely fulfill his promise.

Seeing this, Zhao Wenkui, an educational assistant, hurriedly glanced at Qian Zhaoyun, the principal of the middle school, and Wu Jianjun, the principal of the central primary school, motioned for them to help with the work, and persuaded the teachers to go back to their respective schools to teach the children.

Wang Xiangmin and Chen Pinghe are old acquaintances, and when they glanced at each other, they knew it in their hearts.

"Since the township chief has said this, then we will give you a face!" Wang Xiangmin said in a deep voice, "After three days, if you don't pay the salary from the township, then we can only go to the township and the county." ”

"That's right, when the time comes, it's going to be big, don't blame us!" Chen Pinghe's face was gloomy.

After He Zhiyuan heard the almost threatening words of the two, instead of being annoyed, he arched his hand and said:

"Teacher Wang, Teacher Chen, you are not giving me face, but the children of the whole township, on behalf of them, I thank all the teachers present."

"This is the fault of the township leaders, we didn't do our job well, so you can't bother to teach your children."

"I'm sorry, teachers, on behalf of the township party committee, the government. The government bows and apologizes! ”

When He Zhiyuan said this, he completed his body ninety degrees and bowed respectfully to the more than 100 teachers present.

This action was unexpected by everyone, and the scene was silent without a sound.

Someone in the crowd shouted: "Township Chief, you just came, this matter has nothing to do with you!" ”

"That's right, this matter was done by other township leaders, and it has nothing to do with you!"

"The township chief is good, he will definitely count when he speaks!"

……

The scene became a mess of porridge, saying everything, but the meaning expressed was basically the same.

"Okay, let's go back to class, you can't let the children sit in class and no one cares!" Chen Pinghe raised his voice and said.

Wang Xiangmin shouted at the middle school teacher: "Hurry up, it's too late to rush back to the first class!" ”

After hearing this, the teachers rushed to the middle school and village primary school on motorcycles, electric vehicles, and bicycles, while the teachers of the central primary school turned around and walked into the campus and ran quickly to the class.

"Chen Maoqing, the township chief has promised you, go back quickly!" Wu Jianjun, the principal of the Central Primary School, stopped a skinny middle-aged man and said angrily.

"I'll have a word with the mayor!" Chen Maoqing pleaded.

Wu Jianjun was unmoved, and glanced at the director of general affairs beside him, signaling him to take people away.

Seeing this, He Zhiyuan frowned, and said in a deep voice: "You let him come over!" ”

Wu Jianjun had no choice but to step aside.

Chen Maoqing walked to He Zhiyuan's side and stretched out his trembling hands to shake him: "Township Chief, what you say must be counted, I'm waiting for money to go to the hospital to see a doctor!" The doctor said that if I didn't have chemotherapy, my life would be gone. ”

He Zhiyuan saw Chen Maoqing's sick face and raised his eyes to look at Zhao Wenkui, the educational assistant.

Zhao Wenkui secretly screamed in his heart that he was glad that he had learned about Chen Maoqing's situation from Wu Jianjun before, otherwise, he would be blind.

"The township chief, he is a teacher at Zhouxing Primary School, and he was diagnosed with stomach cancer after a year." Zhao Wenkui said loudly, "I had surgery before, I spent a lot of money, and the family's economic situation is not optimistic!" ”

Poverty due to illness is a social problem that cannot be avoided.

He Zhiyuan shook Chen Maoqing's hand twice vigorously, and said with a firm face: "Teacher Chen, don't worry, you will never delay your treatment!" ”

"Thank you, chief, thank you!" Chen Maoqing said as he wanted to bow to He Zhiyuan.

Seeing this, He Zhiyuan hurriedly grabbed Chen Maoqing and didn't let him bend down.

"Teacher Chen, I should bow to you and apologize!"

He Zhiyuan bowed to him with guilt on his face.

"The township chief can't help it, it's causing trouble to the township, I ...... I don't want to do that either, I can't help it! ”

When Chen Maoqing said this, he couldn't hold back anymore, and tears came out of his eyes.

He Zhiyuan held back the pain in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Principal Wu, arrange for someone to send Teacher Chen home." ”

"Township chief, no, I'll just ride a three-person bike back!"

Chen Maoqing said as he walked towards the tricycle parked on the side of the road.

He Zhiyuan saw Chen Maoqing grasp the handlebar tightly with both hands, raised his right leg and carefully straddled the cushion, arched his body, and stepped on the pedal with both feet, and the tricycle slowly moved forward with difficulty.

After seeing this scene, He Zhiyuan, who had tears rolling in his eyes, couldn't hold back any longer, turned around and reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Dong Ziying, the deputy head of the township, couldn't hold it back, her eyes were slightly red, and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Let's go in and have an on-site office meeting!" He Zhiyuan said in a deep voice.

Wu Jianjun didn't dare to slack off, glanced at the director of general affairs, and hurriedly made a gesture of invitation to He Zhiyuan.

The Central Primary School was built in a different place just the year before last, and the teaching building and the administrative building stand opposite each other, shining in the sunlight.

"Such good teaching facilities and environment are enviable, but if the teacher's heart is not in the classroom, no matter how luxurious the teaching building is, it will be in vain!" He Zhiyuan said coldly.

After Wu Jianjun heard this, his face showed a somewhat flustered look, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Seeing this, Zhao Wenkui, an education assistant, had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "What the township chief criticizes is that because our work has not been done properly, it has brought trouble to the township leaders!" ”

After Wu Jianjun and Qian Zhaoyun heard this, they hurriedly admitted their mistakes and were very sincere.

"Now is not the time to hold accountable, we first study how to deal with it, this is the top priority!" He Zhiyuan said coldly.

After Qian Zhaoyun and Wu Jianjun heard this, they raised their eyes to look at Zhao Wenkui together, for fear that the township chief would settle accounts with them after the autumn.

The pressure in Zhao Wenkui's heart is greater than that of Qian and Wu, and he has no time to take care of them.

"Township Chief, let's go to the conference room, please!" Wu Jianjun said with a smile on his face.

He Zhiyuan didn't even look at him, his face was gloomy, and he walked forward quickly.

After walking into the door of the conference room, the dark red solid wood round conference table is particularly conspicuous, there are more than a dozen leather seats on the side of the table, two air-conditioning cabinets in the front and back, the projector is suspended in the air, and four tall fortune trees are located in the corner of the wall, full of greenery.

Seeing this, He Zhiyuan's face was gloomy like water, and he asked in a cold voice: "Principal Wu, the decoration of this conference room has not cost much money, right?" ”
