The third class in the afternoon is the time for cleaning and staff assembly.

Li Hong and Du Manlin drank too much wine at noon, and asked the principal for two more classes in the afternoon, and slept soundly in Kang Jiazheng's company, and it was meeting time when they returned to school. The two entered the venue side by side and saw the principal sitting on the ** stage waving to them.

"See? The headmaster must be calling you. As soon as Li Hong's words fell, the assistant principal jumped out of the stab, blocking their way.

The assistant principal said, "Director Li, the principal told you to take Du Manlin immediately, oh Teacher Du, to see her." ”

"Is there something wrong?" Li Hong asked deliberately.

In fact, Li Hong knew very well in her heart that the principal wanted to see Du Manlin, undoubtedly wanting to tell her about the promotion of the deputy director first, so that she could be mentally prepared. Lest it be suddenly announced that Du Manlin would do something embarrassing to the principal.

"You'll know if you go." The assistant principal hurried away again.

Could it be that Du Manlin was promoted to deputy director? Otherwise, this assistant principal, who is open-mouthed and can't hide the little pimple in his heart, wouldn't talk to her like this, and he would leak some blessings if he said anything. Li Hong thought so, took Du Manlin's hand and walked to the ** stage.

"Come on, come on, you two can wait for me in a hurry." The headmaster greeted.

Li Hong sat down against the principal's seat.

Du Manlin stood aside: "I'm sorry, principal, I..."

The principal interrupted her with a wave of his hand: "I'm not criticizing you today, but there is something that must be conveyed to you personally before it is announced. ”

Hearing this, Li Hong's hanging heart finally returned to its place.

Du Manlin looked at the principal with a look of deafness.

The principal said, "Teacher Du, you have only been in the school for a short time, but you have made great contributions to the school. Our school is not a public school, but a private school. Private schools have always had clear rewards and punishments, and salaries, benefits, bonuses, and promotions and reuse are based on the size of the contribution, not on seniority. With your contributions, you can't be overrewarded. Therefore, the school board has decided to promote you to the position of Deputy Director of the Boarding Department based on your performance and ability, and it will be announced at the general meeting later. ”

Du Manlin nodded vigorously. Nodding her head means that she is willing to carry the burden and withstand the pressure for the development of the school. But what she said was different from what she thought in her heart, she said: "Principal, conscientious work is the most basic job requirement for every faculty member. If you do the work you should do and do your duty, you will be rewarded and promoted, which I think is a bit out of line with the requirements of professional ethics. So, I have a request for the principal. ”

"Please."

"Cancel my appointment."

The principal was slightly stunned: "Is this your sincere words?" ”

Du Manlin nodded.

The principal suddenly laughed and said: "You think that if you don't accept the appointment, it reflects your high demeanor, you are wrong, an appointment is a responsibility, and your refusal to accept the appointment is essentially the same thing as refusing to accept the task and fulfilling the responsibility." The Boarding Department bears the great responsibility of student life management, and the Director of the Boarding Department is the organizer and conductor of this responsibility. Comrade Du Manlin, if you do not accept the appointment, you will be shirking this heavy responsibility. ”

Du Manlin's face changed slightly. She really didn't expect that her refusal to accept the appointment could have anything to do with shirking her responsibilities, and it seemed that she had to be the deputy director of the dormitory management department.

Li Hong saw Du Manlin's difficulties and interjected: "What Teacher Du does not lack in his bones is responsibility. Since the principal said that an appointment is a responsibility, I believe that Ms. Du will happily accept the appointment of the school. Mr. Du, did you say yes? ”

Li Hong's meaning is very clear, that is, to let Du Manlin happily accept the appointment of the school.

But Du Manlin still hesitated: "I'm worried that I lack management experience and can't do a good job." In this way, it not only disappoints the hope of the principal, but also apologizes to parents, students, and even affects the development of the school. ”

The principal was full of joy: "What I need is a management talent like you with a sense of distress, I was worried that you would happily pat your chest and swear as soon as you heard the news of the promotion, this kind of person is often ambitious, lacks the spirit of down-to-earth hardship and hard work, and it is difficult to achieve extraordinary work performance." It is indeed commendable that you can take precautions, worry about the world, worry about the world first, and think about the work in front of you, and you will definitely become an excellent management talent in school management, especially student management. ”

"Since the headmaster trusts me so much, then I'll give it a try." Du Manlin finally agreed.

Teachers entered the venue one after another. The headmaster pointed to an empty seat in the first row and motioned for Du Manlin to go and sit down. The first row of the venue is a special seat for the school's middle-level leaders, and before the appointment is announced, Du Manlin dares to sit in this row.

"Headmaster, I'd better sit in the back row!" Du Manlin said hesitantly.

The headmaster seemed to understand something, smiled at Du Manlin, and nodded.

At the end of the faculty meeting, the principal personally read out the decision of the school board of directors on personnel appointments, and from this moment on, Du Manlin became the enviable deputy director of the dormitory management department from an ordinary life teacher.

Du Manlin was worried that everyone would have opinions about her promotion, and she was deeply afraid that as soon as the principal read her name, she would attract opposition and protests from the entire venue. But the result was the opposite, as soon as the principal finished reading the appointment letter, the whole venue burst into a tidal wave of applause, and the applause lasted for a long time.

For a time, Du Manlin became famous again. All sorts of congratulations followed.
