Ch 73: What Are You Looking At? I’m Your Leader Now
The students, seeing such a beautiful female teacher, were curious, and their attention subconsciously focused.
No.1 Middle School was originally a good school. Those who could study at this school wouldn’t have had poor elementary school grades, so management was relatively easy. However, there were still some disobedient students who were prone to making mistakes and interrupting.
Shen Mingyue may not have eaten pork, but she has seen pigs run. A teacher can get along with the students, but dignity must never be lost. When you smile, students think you are approachable, but when you put on a stern face, they should know that the teacher’s authority is inviolable.
Shen Mingyue did this very well. After one class, she allowed the students to deeply understand her teaching style. Her witty and humorous teaching style also attracted everyone’s attention.
The previous English teacher’s lectures just covered whatever was in the textbook, without any special memorable points.
But Shen Mingyue was different. She would find homophones for words and add some interesting learning methods to make it easier for everyone to remember knowledge points.
After class, Shen Mingyue returned to the office. Zhou Xiaofei, holding a water cup, was about to get some water to drink when she saw Shen Mingyue getting up.
At that glance, she froze on the spot. What was Shen Mingyue doing at school? At that time, she hadn’t realized that Shen Mingyue was the new English teacher; she thought she was here to do some business.
Only when the people around her started greeting Shen Mingyue did she realize it.
“Teacher Shen, how did your first class feel? Are the students in the class easy to manage?”
Shen Mingyue nodded with a smile. “The students are all very good, and their learning attitudes are very positive. Thank you, Teacher He, for your concern.”
Hearing their conversation, Zhou Xiaofei felt her blood running cold. Shen Mingyue was the new English teacher? The young woman who had just become the head teacher?
This was all too outrageous. How could she believe it? She was just an uneducated rural woman. Even if she became an English teacher, she also became the head teacher directly. Did the Vice Principal have water in his brain? This was too childish!
Although she knew that Shen Mingyue had been learning English with her Second Brother recently, it wasn’t possible to learn that fast, was it?
She had also looked at English and studied it privately, but it was really difficult. Later, she simply gave up and focused only on Chinese.
Shen Mingyue learned for a few days and could become an English teacher. What was her brain made of?
No, maybe the Vice Principal received benefits, so he agreed to Shen Mingyue’s outrageous request.
After all, Gu Yuanzhou was very capable. If he was willing to use his connections for Shen Mingyue, then the matter wouldn’t be so outrageous.
Soon, Zhou Xiaofei became convinced of this idea. When Shen Mingyue left the office intending to use the restroom, Zhou Xiaofei stopped her directly.
“Second Sister-in-law, do you know that using connections will greatly affect my Second Brother? If you don’t have the ability and someone reports you, his department will definitely not turn a blind eye.”
Zhou Xiaofei spoke very decisively because this was the school, not the Gu Family; she didn’t need to be pretentious.
Shen Mingyue looked at her with an ambiguous smile. “Before you speak, please use your brain. If I didn’t have the ability, could the Vice Principal let me have this position? Put your heart at ease. I worry more about my husband’s future than you do.”
Zhou Xiaofei was unwilling to believe it. If that was the case, then Shen Mingyue was better than her. How could she admit that Shen Mingyue was better than her?
“Is that so? Then I’ll wait and see.”
Until now, she could only issue threats.
When Shen Mingyue went to teach in the afternoon, Zhou Xiaofei stood at the entrance and eavesdropped.
She wanted to see if Shen Mingyue truly had the ability or was taking shortcuts.
Moreover, a rural woman like her was completely unfamiliar with this aspect. She didn’t prepare lessons or lesson plans; she just started lecturing directly. Did she have the brains for it?
Ten minutes later, Zhou Xiaofei’s face turned completely black, because Shen Mingyue on the podium was very confident, speaking eloquently, her teaching was humorous and interesting, and even students who usually didn’t like to interact raised their hands to answer questions.
This situation was very rare. Those who have attended school know that in class, when the teacher asks a question, everyone’s reaction is “Don’t call on me,” not actively answering questions. Only a few energetic students will cooperate with the teacher’s work.
Shen Mingyue could actually do this right after coming here. Zhou Xiaofei couldn’t believe it, nor did she want to believe it.
But whether she believed it or not, the facts were there. Shen Mingyue did have the ability.
At this time, she couldn’t help but think of Gu Huilan’s words: Shen Mingyue was really amazing; she learned everything very quickly.
Playing the piano was like this, and learning English was the same. This was truly terrifying. If such a person was given enough learning space, her future would be limitless.
She had studied hard for several years, but she couldn’t even compare to a rural woman from the countryside. She might as well buy a block of tofu and kill herself.
Moreover, from today onwards, Shen Mingyue was, in a sense, her leader, which was the most uncomfortable thing for Zhou Xiaofei.
Although logically, the head teacher didn’t have direct management power over substitute teachers, in their school, the head teacher could still arrange any teacher in their class, and what they said carried a lot of weight. Otherwise, people wouldn’t be scrambling to become the head teacher.
Thinking again about the chain reaction caused by Shen Mingyue’s successful job application after it was spread to the Gu Family, Zhou Xiaofei almost fainted.
Before, she was able to become a teacher at the school because Gu Jianjun and Tian Shufang often praised Zhou Xiaofei in front of outsiders, saying that she was very capable and had achieved this through her own abilities, which was admirable.
After all, the profession of teacher, not only now but even in the future, was a very honorable and secure job.
But now Shen Mingyue had also become a teacher, and she had become the head teacher directly upon arrival. If Gu Jianjun and the others found out about this, they didn’t know what their reaction would be.
Zhou Xiaofei even viciously thought that it would be better if Shen Mingyue died. Without her, how comfortable would she be in the Gu Family?
Since this woman came, she hadn’t had a single good day.
But no matter what she thought, Shen Mingyue still stood there, shining brightly, and no one could stop her.
At this time, Zhou Xiaofei also realized that she had kicked a steel plate. Shen Mingyue had the ability. She didn’t work elsewhere, but instead came to their school to apply for a teacher’s position, in the grade she was teaching. What was she doing? Even a fool could see it.
Zhou Xiaofei clearly knew that Shen Mingyue was targeting her. What did she want?
Because she was too anxious, she made many mistakes in the afternoon class, and the students were very dissatisfied.
At this time, Shen Mingyue had already gotten off work. She had finished three classes. She left the school gate and drove back to the shop.
Now Bai Jingjing alone couldn’t handle everything. She had hired another girl, so there were two people working in the shop, which was clearly enough.
