No. 33 Big Chase!

  "The chair is good, make one for me when you're free. Look."

  Zhang Xiao lay on the chair that had been naturally vacated, experiencing the craftsmanship of a high-end carpenter. As he got up, he glanced at Zhang Manting, who had already finished cleaning, and smiled at her:

  "Ting Ting, do you come so early every day?"

  Zhang Manting looked at Wang Jian and Zhang Xiao with suspicion, her mouth opened as if she wanted to say something, but then closed tightly again. She didn't even glance at Zhang Xiao, silently starting to arrange the teacher's desk and chairs in order.

  "Come with me."

  Zhang Xiao quietly greeted Wang Jian and walked straight to the second floor, waiting for him by the red brick wall. When he saw Wang Jian coming, Zhang Xiao nodded at him.

  "You know, actually I'm not very daring to get close to this class every time."

  Are you afraid they will throw tables out? Not now, whoever dares to throw a table, I'll make him pay.

  "It's not that, it's just that I owe these kids too much." Zhang Xiao looked up at the old school building with a hint of despair and sighed: "It was already like this when I took office. I wanted to move them to the new campus, but the group used the reserved agreement's wordplay to suppress me. I couldn't afford the penalty for breach of contract."

  Wang Jian probably understood what was going on, he leaned against the red brick wall, looking at the lush green trees and the chirping birds around him, shrugging his shoulders indifferently: "This is pretty good."

  "I know what you mean, and I hope you can understand mine. The kids in this class are all excellent, but the overall values of this school have already caused great trauma to their physical and mental health, and I hope you can be a soothing balm for these wounds."

  Wang Jian didn't say a word, he just leaned against the wall and listened quietly. He had already heard about the thorny situation in this class, a group of students stuck between a rock and a hard place and a class stuck between a rock and a hard place. This might be a unique design nationwide, making it difficult for him, a newcomer, to untangle the deep-seated resentment that had built up here.

  But he was a man who couldn't stand losing, and after realizing the gravity of his situation, it instead triggered a kind of reverse psychology in him. So he didn't show any signs of worry or frustration, but rather had an expression full of fighting spirit.

  "I'll give you convenience within my authority, but you need to know that things can't be overdone. Just like how you privately took the equipment from someone else's class, I can still cover this up for you. But if it gets out of hand, the Dean of Studies has the right to directly appeal to the higher-ups in the group, and at that time, even I won't be able to protect you."

  Wang Jian nodded and smiled: "Of course I have a sense of proportion."

  "That's good, then I'll go first. This month is about to end, and for the remaining few days, just get familiar with the environment. Good luck."

  Wang Jian chuckled and lit a cigarette: "You should say wait for your success."

  Zhang Xiao revealed a faint smile, walked slowly down the dusty stairs with his hands behind his back, and disappeared into the tree-lined avenue filled with the sounds of insects and birds under Wang Jian's gaze.

  Just as Wang Jian was about to withdraw his gaze, he found Dawei and Tianran walking towards him from the old campus, with Tianran maintaining a puzzled expression, while Dawei deliberately pretended to be profound and mysterious.

  Aren't you going to class?

  "I have two pieces of good news and one piece of bad news to tell you." Dawei glanced at Wang Jian, who looked slightly tired, and smiled slyly: "Which one do you want to hear first?"

  "Say whatever you want."

  "Hey, I'm saying, can't you just go along with me? Hurry up a bit?"

  "Go on. Go ahead and tell me."

  Although Wang Jian's words were composed of these few words, the tone was still that of a dead father's virtue, without any sincerity at all, making Dawei scratch his ears and cheeks.

  "You're really in trouble, let me tell you the bad news first: you've been added to the ultimate blacklist by the Dean of Studies. If you make one more mistake, you'll basically be kicked out."

  "That's not bad news, is it? Look at his face."

  Wang Jian pointed at the window on the top floor of the teaching building: "Look at his face, anyone who isn't stupid can tell."

  Naturally, Er Huan turned her head in the direction of Wang Jian's pointing hand and saw a depressed look that had lost its entire family, like a northwest wind, wandering back and forth on Wang Jian. It made her turn her head to look at Wang Jian, with a feeling called sympathy in her eyes.

  Actually, Wang Jian felt that Tian Ran Er was the only woman he had ever seen in his life who could express her innermost thoughts with her eyes. Other people, including girls, were mostly contaminated by all sorts of strange things, and even if they were still pure, there would be a veil between their eyes and heart, making it impossible to see clearly.

  Her eyes are truly a crystal window, directly revealing her deepest thoughts. When curious, she's curious; when afraid, she's afraid; when helpless, she's helpless; when shy, she's shy; when angry, she's angry - completely unmasked, and can communicate with her extremely smoothly without needing any language.

  "That's good news."

  Dawei walked to the back of Tian Er, put his hands on her shoulders and pushed her in front of Wang Jian: "From today on, she is yours. Can you guarantee that no matter if she will be rich or poor in the future, no matter if she will be healthy or ill, no matter if it's good times or bad times, happy or sad, you will protect her and take care of her forever?"

  "Why does it sound strange?" Wang Jian smacked his lips, feeling that what Dawei said seemed to have been heard somewhere before.

  While the two of them were blushing and struggling to break free from Da Wei's grasp, they stretched out their hands in front of Wang Jian, took a deep breath, and said: "Please take care of us, we're going to be partners from now on. Da Wei and I have been assigned to this class as teachers. From now on, we'll be together every day."

  When she said "being together every morning and evening", the two of them immediately thought of their awkward moments in the morning, and her face turned even redder, almost to the point of bursting blood vessels.

  "Hey, how could you tell him the second good news? Are you being biased?"

  "I'm telling you, stop causing trouble." Wang Jian waved his hand at Dawei: "If she gets any more worked up, she'll have a stroke."

  "Alright, alright." Dawei sighed exaggeratedly and teased Tianran Er: "You're really useless, you're already so big, but you still blush when talking to men. How are you going to get married in the future?"

  "Mind your own business!", but then looking at Wang Jian, it was a kind of awkward shyness: "Let's go collect our things first, I'll be back after the third period."

  "I got it in the afternoon, and my plaster mold was handed over with great trouble."

  Wang Jian nodded and thought for a moment: "Why don't we go together tomorrow morning? I have something to do in the afternoon."

  After Wang Jian's proposal was passed unanimously, Dawei and Tianran II went back to pack their things and prepare for the migration of the office site. After all, among the teachers in this school, the treatment of the head teacher is 56 bookstores, and it is actually the unmarried wife of his own class teacher... This made Nono suddenly full of confidence, with a confident smile on her face, she went to greet Chaoyang with a swagger.

  Watching her leave, Wang Jian flicked the cigarette butt into the trash can: "Those three are the most troublesome, you go first, if you can't handle it, call me. And if you try to deceive me, you'll die more miserably than anyone else, you're a core member of our arrest team after all. I'm going to take a nap, don't disturb me before 1:30 this afternoon."

  "Got it......" Ye Wenhao's voice was almost trembling: "Teacher......"
