Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 13: Be able to slack off at work
"Hello, are you the parent of Wang Peng, who graduated from the junior high school of No. 1 Middle School and enrolled in Experimental Middle School?"

"Yes, I am Wang Peng's mother."

"Hello, parents. My last name is Zhou. I am Wang Peng's homeroom teacher. I am here to take a look at the students before the start of the semester. Do you plan to live in the dormitory or go to school as a day student?"

"Oh, hello, Teacher Zhou. Wang Peng's grandfather lives near the Experimental Middle School. I plan to let Wang Peng go to school as a day student."

"Okay, that's it, I wish you a happy life."

With nothing to do, Zhou Jing started working to adapt to the role of class teacher in advance, making phone calls one by one according to the student roster.

Put a check mark on the confirmed ones and an X on the ones that failed to get through.

Arriving at Feng Yuhua, the daughter of the junior high school academic director, Zhou Jing stopped and called his father first.

"Hey, Jingjing, did you go to work today?"

Zhou Guozhong spoke when the call was connected.

"I'm at work. Well, Feng Yuhua is in my class."

Zhou Jing held the mobile phone in his left hand and turned the pen in his right hand.

Zhou Guozhong: "Did you choose it yourself or was it randomly assigned?"

Zhou Jing: "I chose Feng Yuhua's class, you don't have to say that to Feng Minghai."

Zhou Guozhong: “I know that.”

Zhou Jing: "I need to call to count whether students are boarding or day students, but I don't know how to communicate with Feng Minghai."

Zhou Guozhong: "You can just call directly. Feng Minghai met with me yesterday and asked you to take care of their daughter."

After hanging up the phone with his father, Zhou Jing dialed Feng Yuhua's contact number, and it was Feng Minghai who answered the phone.

"Hello Director Feng, I'm Zhou Jing."

"Xiao Zhou, I asked your dad for your phone number yesterday, and I plan to call you in the next two days."

"I was supposed to come back to visit Director Feng. I've been at school for teaching and training recently."

"Youth is the pride of Qingshan Middle School. A few days ago, I met students who were admitted to the experimental school this year and I told them that they were lucky. They didn't have to be helpless in the unfamiliar experimental school."

"Thank you for the compliment, Director. Today the school has confirmed the head teachers for the first grade classes. I am in charge of Class 2. I just got the class roster and saw that Junior Sister Feng Yuhua is in Class 2."

"That's just right. Yuhua is an introvert. She has never left me and her mother since she was a child. I was worried that she would leave home to study and live alone. I'll have to trouble Xiao Zhou to take care of her in the future."

Zhou Jing's words "Junior Sister Feng Yuhua" made Feng Minghai feel very close.

Zhou Jing: "Of course, Junior Sister, are you planning to stay here or rent a house?"

Feng Minghai: "Stay here. It's not safe for a girl to be outside alone."

Zhou Jing: "Yes, accommodation is helpful for introverted students to practice socializing. Do you prefer the upper or lower bunk? Do you prefer a bed near the door or the balcony?"

Feng Minghai: "She's not at home right now. I'll ask her to call you later."

"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore. I wish you a happy life."

"Okay, Xiao Zhou, good job."

After contacting ten students, Zhou Jing stops here today. You have to learn to slack off at work. If you don’t slack off and just work blindly, you will lose a lot of fun, and you will be physically and mentally exhausted, which will cause you to reject work and affect your work enthusiasm.

Someone knocked on the door and Zhou Jing went to open it.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Zhou Jing?"

"Correct."

It was a master from the logistics department who installed the door number plate for Zhou Jing’s dormitory.

The master pasted the doorplate with "Zhou Jing" written on it neatly on the wall next to the door.

Liu Hanyu wanted to invite Zhou Jing to dinner and said she would bring her younger brother.

Zhou Jing agreed readily. Liu Hanyu had helped a lot during this period, so Zhou Jing should treat Liu Hanyu to a meal. Today, Liu Hanyu brought his younger brother, so let Liu Hanyu treat him, since Zhou Jing is a teacher now.

The appointment time is 6 o'clock, the location is Second Street.

It was still early. After getting off work at four o'clock, Zhou Jing went back to his rented apartment, took a shower, changed his clothes, turned on his computer and updated the novel in advance, updating 10,000 words at a time, 10,000 words each morning and evening.

Zhou Jing's novel has unknowingly become the number one on the new book list. The wonderful writing is one reason, but the most important reason is that Zhou Jing updates it very quickly, with 20,000 words a day. Looking around the entire Internet, there may not be many who can write such a novel, let alone a small site.

In just half a month after its release, the book has already reached over 300,000 words. Currently, the average number of subscriptions to VIP chapters exceeds 2,000, and there is great potential.

The new heroine has just been updated. She is the hero's pure and innocent master and his smart and clever senior sister. The heroine, Zhou Jing, is based on Xiao Long Nu. Her master is one of the chief disciples of the Qing Feng Sword Sect, which only accepts female disciples. Because the hero's mother is from the Qing Feng Sword Sect, the master makes an exception and accepts him as an outer disciple.

After the leader of the Sword Sect was murdered, he passed his position to the master. The uncle, who was also the chief disciple of the master, became jealous and drugged the male protagonist and the master, and unspeakable things happened. The master was threatened and had to abdicate in favor of the uncle. Before this, the master had already promised the senior sister to the male protagonist, and the uncle became jealous, so the relationship became very messy.

Zhou Jing left his residence at 5:30, took a bus out of the community and went to Century Plaza on Commercial Street 2. He arrived at his destination a little after 6:00, and Liu Hanyu and his younger brother Liu Ze had already arrived.

"Let me introduce you to my brother Liu Ze. You should call me Teacher Zhou from now on."

Liu Hanyu behaved very formally.

In fact, they all knew each other. Zhou Jing had seen them at his grandmother's house.

"Hello, Teacher Zhou."

Liu Ze felt a little awkward, but he still called him respectfully. The boy was already 1.75 meters tall at the age of 15. Unlike his sister Liu Hanyu, he seemed a little shy even though he knew Zhou Jing.

"There's no need to be so outspoken."

Liu Ze is in Class 6, and Zhou Jing is in charge of Class 2, teaching Mathematics to Class 1 and Class 2, so he can't take care of Liu Ze.

Zhou Jing is the head teacher of Class 2 and it is impossible for him to be in charge of the affairs of Class 6. This is not in line with workplace rules.

At most, I can find an opportunity to tell the head teacher of Class 6 that this is the younger brother of my classmate, and see if the head teacher of Class 6 will give him face. The head teacher of Class 6 will give Zhou Jing some face. This is an unspoken rule in the workplace.

As a colleague, there are always opportunities to use people.

"Just lead Class 6."

Liu Hanyu gave Zhou Jing the microphone and cold tea she had bought in advance.

"Students and parents may not trust me. Liu Ze scored 495, so he must be biased in some subjects. How is English?"

If you score 495 in the high school entrance examination this year, your math, physics and chemistry scores should not be too bad. If the scores on politics, history and Chinese are not too far apart, then the most likely result is that your English is very bad. Mathematics, physics and chemistry are highly correlated, and if one is not good, the other two will generally not be much better.

"He is just bad at English. He scored over 70 points in English, which is considered an exceptional performance. However, his mock exams did not even get over 70 points. The lowest score was over 20."

Liu Hanyu answered for his brother.

"Then you need to work harder in high school. Time is tight in the first year of high school. If you pass the vocabulary test, you can get at least 80 or 90 points."

Zhou Jing smiled. Getting around 120 points out of a full in English was really not that good.

Zhou Jing scored 106 in the college entrance examination despite his poor English performance.

Boys like Liu Ze are very common. They are among the best in the class in math, physics and chemistry, and their English is as good as it can be. What these students hate most is why they have to take English in the college entrance examination.

"Did you hear that? You never pay attention when I ask you to memorize words."

Liu Hanyu scolded his younger brother.

Liu Ze felt helpless as he had memorized so many words but just couldn't remember them.

"What does Zhou Jing want to eat, barbecue or hot pot?"

Liu Hanyu walked and looked around.

"It doesn't matter to me. It's so hot, let's have a barbecue!"

Zhou Jing didn't speak politely to Liu Han.

Liu Ze said: "Teacher Zhou, I heard that the Experimental Middle School is good at liberal arts. Is that true?"

"That's not true."

After arriving at a barbecue restaurant and ordering food, Liu Hanyu asked Liu Ze to drink some beer with Zhou Jing.

"Let's drink fruit beer. Is it appropriate to let your brother drink?"

Zhou Jing thought to himself that she was indeed his biological sister.

Liu Hanyu said, "He drank alcohol when he met up with his classmates after the high school entrance exam. My mom found out and deducted his summer vacation allowance. When did you start drinking?"

"I graduated from high school." Zhou Jing looked at the waiter and said, "Change the beer to fruit beer."

In fact, Zhou Jinggao started drinking beer to set a good example in front of his students.

When a teacher, you must behave like a role model.

"I found that you have become a better person after becoming a teacher."

Liu Hanyu looked at the boy and sighed, is this the change that happens to boys after they start working?
