Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 97 The teacher doesn't play by the rules
The opening ceremony will be held at ten o'clock on Tuesday morning, and all teachers and students in the school will attend.

All the teachers were dressed in formal attire and all the students were in school uniforms. On the playground, the first few rows under the podium were filled with teachers in black suits, and behind them were students in blue school uniforms, like a blue ocean.

The opening ceremony is similar every year.

First, show off this year's college entrance examination results.

Regardless of whether the actual test results are good or not, the school will show a thriving side to the students at the opening ceremony. If the college entrance examination results are mediocre, the school will say how high the admission rate is, and encourage the next class to achieve greater success.

"Be quiet."

Some people in the class were whispering, and Zhou Jing turned around and said something.

The students who were talking at the back quieted down.

After showing off this year's college entrance examination results, we began to award prizes to outstanding teachers and students from the previous semester.

There are also awards for outstanding class teacher, top ten young teachers on campus, etc.

Yang Wenwen was selected as an outstanding class teacher, and Gu Jia was selected as one of the top ten young people.

During the award ceremony, winners went on stage in batches to receive their awards.

"Why don't you wear more clothes when it's cold? It's about manners, not temperature."

A gust of autumn wind blew by, and some students shivered. Zhou Jing spoke.

"I didn't expect it to be so cold today."

"."

"Teacher Zhou, what are the rewards for outstanding students?"

A student asked curiously.

"Money. The first place winner in arts and science will each receive 1,000 yuan, the second place winner will receive 500 yuan, the third place winner will receive 300 yuan, and the first place winner in each subject will receive 300 yuan."

Although Zhou Jing never made it into the top 100 in his grade in terms of comprehensive scores, he would always show up at the opening ceremony. He got first place twice and second place twice in the math subject in the final exams of his freshman and sophomore years, got first place in math in the first semester of his senior year, tied for first place in the school in math in the college entrance examination, and won second prize in the National Mathematics Competition. His record was quite brilliant, leaving the top students in the experimental class completely embarrassed.

"Wow, so solid."

All students are envious because the rewards in high school are so real, unlike elementary and junior high schools which only reward stationery and certificates.

"So work hard! It's a great honor to have the opportunity to stand on the podium and receive the award."

"."

The third item of the ceremony was a speech by a student representative. Each of the first, second and third grades selected a student representative. The third grade representative gave a speech first, followed by the second grade and finally the first grade. The first grade student representative was a girl from the experimental class. If flat education is not fully implemented, the experimental class will indeed be superior.

The students and teachers were bored as they were just sitting there with this kind of meeting, so Zhou Jing sat at the back of the class and played with his cell phone.

【are you in class】

There is a message from Chen Jiaqian on QQ.

After spending several days and nights together during the National Day holiday, Chen Jiaqian, who had tasted the fruit of love for the first time, missed Zhou Jing even more. Apart from work, Zhou Jing was on her mind. She visited Zhou Jing's space whenever she had time, as if she had fallen in love again.

[The school held an opening ceremony on the playground. Are you busy today?]

Zhou Jing felt it was quite special to revisit that experience with his first love in his previous life, as if he was going back in time.

As for feelings, after learning that he was reborn, Zhou Jing aspired to be a person without feelings. Feelings will only become a stumbling block on the road to success. Although it is difficult to completely abandon feelings, he must focus on work.

Chen Jiaqian: [Take it easy in the morning. I have to go to the court in the afternoon. I have to go on a business trip to Yinchuan on Friday.]

Zhou Jing: [What case? Are you and your colleagues alone?]

Chen Jiaqian: [I was talking to a colleague. After an employee of a company resigned, the company’s production was hampered because of the lack of that employee’s skills. Then the company sued that employee for taking kickbacks from suppliers while he was employed. That employee was traveling during the National Day holiday and was detained by the local police.]

Zhou Jing: [This is outrageous. How much kickbacks did they receive?]

Chen Jiaqian: [The company accused them of paying hundreds of thousands of yuan. Actually, even if it is true, it is not a big deal in a private company. The police said they did not want to intervene in the first place. They meant that the company had found someone but could do nothing about it. Now they want the employee to find a lawyer to resolve the matter.]

Zhou Jing: [What is the worst case scenario if a case is filed]

Chen Jiaqian: [less than three years]

Zhou Jing: [Okay, that company is too cheap, it’s just disgusting]

Chen Jiaqian: [It is unlikely that a case will be filed. It is difficult to verify kickbacks from small private companies. The suppliers will definitely not admit it. The court is unlikely to file a case for such a small amount of money, and it may end up in nothing.]

Zhou Jing: [Be careful when traveling on business, take the train or the institute’s car]

Chen Jiaqian: [Yeah, train]

"Who is Teacher Zhou chatting with?"

One student craned his neck to gossip.

Zhou Jing turned off his phone and said, "Classmate." "Female classmate?"

The other students behind became curious.

"College roommate." Zhou Jing would not satisfy their curiosity. He looked at his phone and said, "My phone is out of battery. Who has a phone? I'll make a call."

Most students said they didn’t bring any.

The boy named Zhang Lei felt in his pocket, hesitated for a few seconds, and took out his cell phone, a flip-open Samsung phone.

Zhou Jing looked at him with a smile.

The students all looked at Zhang Lei, thinking that this guy actually brought a cell phone with him, and dared to take it out in front of the head teacher. The students from other classes nearby were also stunned. They thought, "Dude, you are so brave. The head teacher of Class 2 is also unsportsmanlike."

"Mr. Zhou, I forgot to put it in the cabinet today."

Realizing that he had fallen into the trap set by his head teacher, Zhang Lei immediately regretted it and hurried to explain.

"Turn off the alarm and turn it off for me."

Zhou Jing certainly wouldn't believe it. After seeing other students put their phones in the lockers, how could Zhang Lei forget that he had his phone with him?

"Teacher Zhou, I really forgot about it. I won't do it again next time."

Zhang Lei wanted to make amends, after all, they were not in the classroom, and he took out the money on his own initiative to borrow it from his class teacher to make the call.

"Stop making excuses and send me to my office when you're done."

Zhou Jing said without allowing any discussion.

He also didn't expect that there would actually be students who would fall for it.

Even if Zhang Lei is given a chance, as a class teacher he cannot let him off in front of the whole class as it would damage his prestige. If the student admits his mistake sincerely in private, the class teacher may soften his heart and not care about it.

"Mr. Zhou, can I take the card off?"

"can."

Zhang Lei copied all the phone numbers onto the card, turned off the alarm on his phone angrily, took out the SIM card and memory card, and handed the phone to the head teacher. If the teacher had to confiscate the phone, he would rather not go to the office and embarrass himself.

The old teacher does not play by the rules. Although he looks young, his tricks are extremely deep.

Other students who were hoping for a lucky break felt disappointed and secretly turned their phones to silent mode, deciding not to show off anymore.

Zhou Jing does what he says. If the students come from well-off families, they can buy new phones.

Most of the students in Class 2 not only did not dislike this head teacher, but they found him charming and admired him even more.

Yang Wenwen, the head teacher of Class 3 of Grade 1, who was standing next to her, smiled without saying a word, admiring the student's experience. He was able to manage the class of more than 50 students very well in his first time as a head teacher.

The opening ceremony was about to end at twelve o'clock. There were too many students on the playground. To prevent accidents, the students left the playground one grade at a time starting from the back, and the class teachers maintained order in their classes.

After returning to the office, Zhou Jing found an envelope in the cabinet, put the confiscated mobile phone in it, labeled the student's name on it, and locked it in the desk cabinet.

"Are there any students who don't bring their cell phones with them?"

Zhao Xin saw it and smiled.

“There are always people who take chances.”

Zhou Jing may confiscate the cell phones, but as long as the students know what is good for them and don't talk back to him, Zhou Jing won't get angry.

"Students are like this. No matter how strict the rules are, they can only play a restraining role, but cannot eliminate violations."

Cao Long, the head teacher of Class 1, just confiscated two mobile phones and threw them in after opening the drawer of his desk.

Zhou Jing went back to the dormitory, changed his clothes and went to eat, and met Su Xiaoxue from the radio station on the playground.

"Has Teacher Zhou eaten yet?"

Su Xiaoxue spoke first.

"Let's go eat, what about you?"

"I haven't eaten either. Let's go together. Where should we eat?"

Su Xiaoxue was originally planning to go back to the dormitory, but she changed her mind at the last minute and didn't even have the chance to ask Zhou Jing out for dinner.

"The cafeteria!"

Zhou Jing originally wanted to eat out, but changed his mind at the last minute.

"Haven't you eaten yet?"

When they arrived at the faculty cafeteria, Gu Jia, who had just finished her meal, saw Zhou Jing and greeted him. But when she saw the girl following Zhou Jing, her voice involuntarily slowed down a bit.
