Chapter 391 No Worse Than Dismissal
Chapter 391 No Worse Than Dismissal
Tang Xin retracted her steps, turned around and looked at the woman coldly, "What do you mean by that? Why should I feel guilty?"
"Don't play innocent here. Don't think I don't know what you did," Du Meijiao's eyes flashed with terrifying hatred. "Even though the whistleblower is anonymous, even if others don't know who did it, I know it's you who's behind my back."
Tang Xin didn't understand why Du Meijiao said that. Perhaps it was because of the series of setbacks that made Du Meijiao take her anger out on her, or perhaps it was because of the grudge between the two of them that made Du Meijiao instinctively think that she was the one behind the scenes.
But no matter what, facing the groundless accusations, Tang Xin couldn't help but fight back.
"I don't know why you came up with such a ridiculous inference, but I'm telling you, I'm not interested in doing something as frivolous as that." Tang Xin averted her gaze, then revealed a mocking expression. "Also, I think, instead of arguing with me about who reported you, Teacher Du should reflect on why you were reported."
"You!" Du Meijiao's eyes were wide open, she was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Without waiting for her to continue her outburst, Tang Xin flicked her ponytail and left.
Looking at the girl's graceful back as she left, Du Meijiao was about to explode with anger.
She clenched her fingers around the box tightly, as if this was the only way to vent the hatred in her heart.
"Tang Xin, just wait for me!"
After Jin Taize finished dealing with the matter, he drove away. Tang Xin didn't have to get lunch for Jin Taize today, so she and An Qi met in the cafeteria to eat.
When we arrived at the cafeteria, there were already many people queuing up, and the teachers in the queue were whispering in groups of three or four.
Although I couldn't hear what everyone was saying, I could guess from the expressions on everyone's faces that it was related to what happened in the morning.
"I heard that Du Meijiao's position as homeroom teacher was revoked, and her classes were suspended. She was transferred to the library," An Qi said.
"The news spread so quickly." Tang Xin thought that she had run into Du Meijiao moving things to the library in the morning, so she knew that Du Meijiao was the first one to be transferred. She didn't expect that everyone knew about it without any suspense.
"Bad news travels a thousand miles," An Qi lamented. "But I thought Du Meijiao would be fired. After all, accepting money and property from parents is a matter of teacher ethics. President Jin has always been a very principled person, but isn't the punishment a bit lenient this time?"
Issues related to teacher ethics are indeed not small issues. Generally speaking, if you are involved in such issues, there is a high probability that you will be fired.
However, given Du Meijiao's strong personality, she was dismissed from classes and transferred to an unimportant library. This punishment was actually no worse than being fired.
"Then who will host their class's parent-teacher meeting this afternoon?" Tang Xin asked.
"I'll host it."
The male voice behind them followed one after another, and An Qi and Tang Xin both turned around to look at the person who came.
"Teacher He!" the two girls said in unison.
"I originally taught Chinese to this class," He Jingyang smiled at them. "Principal Wang talked to me. He said that I'm more familiar with the class and hopes that I can temporarily take over Teacher Du's duties."
"With this sudden incident, we really need an experienced teacher to manage the class." Tang Xin said thoughtfully.
"Teacher Tang, can you help me take a photo during the parent-teacher meeting this afternoon?" He Jingyang asked.
The school's education and teaching management work has always required leaving records, so all class meetings, parent-teacher meetings, etc. must be photographed and archived. For some large-scale activities, there are special teachers who are responsible for editing and writing them and posting them on the school's official account.
"Okay, leave it to me." Tang Xin made an OK gesture.
"Thank you." He Jingyang's eyes flashed, "Then I'll go get you some food, just wait for me over there."
Tang Xing was just about to say no, but unexpectedly He Jingyang was quicker than her and had already taken the lunch box from her hand.
An Qi added fuel to the fire at the right moment, "Teacher He is partial. He only helps Teacher Tang with the food."
Tang Xin blushed and secretly pinched An Qi's arm. He Jingyang scratched his forehead, "Teacher Tang helped me take pictures, and I helped Teacher Tang get food. It's a courtesy."
As soon as the parent-teacher meeting started in the afternoon, Tang Xin went to He Jingyang's class on time to take pictures.
Teacher He was introducing himself to the parents, who were listening attentively. After the brief introduction, the parents gave him a warm round of applause, which showed that they were very welcoming to the new head teacher.
After taking some pictures at the back of the classroom, Tang Xin walked back to the side of the podium to take pictures of the parents listening attentively.
However, when she raised her mobile phone, her hands suddenly stopped, and a familiar face appeared in the screen among the many seated parents.
Mechanically pressing the camera button twice, Tang Xin quickly walked out of the classroom.
Returning to his office, Tang Xin took out his cell phone again, enlarged the photo, and carefully observed the woman in the photo again.
Suddenly, the dislocated memory found an interface. Wasn't this woman the one she accidentally ran into eating Western food with Du Meijiao when she and An Qi went to a buffet together last time?
The woman gave Du Meijiao a gift bag. Although no one knew what was inside, from Du Meijiao's satisfied smile, one could roughly guess that the things inside were of great value.
