When his superior retired, Li Lin, as his secretary, was implicated and demoted to an indefinite secondment as deputy township head in a remote rural town.
With no backing, Li Lin's polit...
Hangang University, small auditorium.
Candidates for the “Top Ten Outstanding Young People”, election scene.
The vice-principal sat on the podium, and three teachers were guarding the ballot box, one was counting the votes, one was checking, and one was counting the votes.
"Luo Yang one vote..."
"Luo Yang one vote..."
"It's still Luo Yang..."
The names of three candidates were written on the huge blackboard. Under Luo Yang's name, there was a long string of "正" characters, but under the names of the other two, not even a single "正" character was written in full.
In the end, the teacher named Luo Yang was successfully elected with an overwhelming number of votes.
The vice president who presided over the meeting was a lean, scholarly old man. When the final result came out, he was the first to stand up and congratulate Mr. Luo Yang in the audience. "Let us give a warm round of applause to Mr. Luo Yang for being nominated as one of the top ten outstanding young people in Hanjiang Province. I wish him to keep up his unstoppable momentum in the next evaluation and be successfully elected as one of the top ten outstanding young people in Hanjiang Province, and win honor for our Hanjiang University!"
That’s all.
There was a burst of sparse applause from the audience...
Most of those applauding were single female teachers, who kept fawning over Luo Yang, who was 1.80 meters tall and had good looks.
However, Luo Yang was not at all interested in the female teachers who took the initiative to flirt with him. He just looked straight ahead, never smiled, and looked very cold.
However, if you keep observing him, you will find that his eyes will occasionally fall on Xu Wen in front of his left, stay for two seconds, and then the corners of his mouth will unconsciously curl up slightly, revealing a gentle smile.
The male teachers in the audience, especially the two male teachers who had become "runners-up", were very resentful about Luo Yang's election.
Someone snorted coldly and said, "What's there to be proud of? If his father didn't have a deputy director, would he have been recommended?"
The people around him quickly echoed, "How great does he think he is? If it weren't for his powerful father saying hello to the principal, he wouldn't even be qualified to be a candidate!"
Some people sighed helplessly, "How come society has become like this now? Is there any justice at all? Since the nomination has already been made, why the hell do we still need to go through the voting process? Who are you trying to fool?"
A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and a number of teachers expressed their dissatisfaction with the school's practice of internally appointed candidates.
Everyone just complained a few words and then stopped talking. Because they knew very well that they were just university teachers and had no power to influence the outcome. No one would be stupid enough to really stand up and go against the school leaders. The result of doing so would only embarrass themselves and become a clown in the eyes of others.
Xu Wen had long been impatient with this kind of formal election, and as soon as the meeting ended, she stood up and left the hall.
She walked alone at the front of the teachers, walking hurriedly, as if the election just now had nothing to do with her and she didn't care at all. She just wanted to leave here quickly, go to the library to find a book, and calm down.
Just after taking two steps, the protagonist of today's meeting, the teacher named Luo Yang, suddenly called Xu Wen from behind.
"Teacher Xu, wait a moment, I have something to say to you..." Luo Yang called Xu Wen in public.
Hearing the voice, Xu Wen paused, turned around, frowned at Luo Yang, and asked him, "Teacher Luo, is there something wrong?"
Because she had just walked out of the auditorium, many colleagues were watching her not far away. She couldn't just turn around and leave, as this would cause people to gossip. So she had to face Luo Yang and wanted to send him away quickly.
Luo Yang didn't care about Xu Wen's dislike for him at all, and said with a thick face, "Teacher Xu, why do I feel so repulsive to me? I don't have any other intentions, I just want to chat with you."
Many colleagues came out of the auditorium and would unconsciously glance at the two of them as they passed by, then smiled and lowered their heads to whisper, "What? Is Luo Yang going to confess his feelings to Teacher Xu?"
There were also single female colleagues who, after seeing Luo Yang's attentive and warm attitude towards Xu Wen, could not help but roll their eyes at Xu Wen, cursing in their hearts, "I don't know where this wild girl came from, how can she be worthy of Teacher Luo? Teacher Luo is from a high-ranking official family, and his father is a deputy department-level official... Tsk, Teacher Luo is also a person of unknown origin, how could he fall in love with a guy of unknown origin..."
Xu Wen didn't want to be misunderstood, and she didn't want Luo Yang to continue to pester her, so she decided to take this opportunity to make things clear with Luo Yang and ask him to stay away from her in the future. So she said coldly, "It seems that there is nothing to talk about with you. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Feeling Xu Wen's attitude of rejecting people, Luo Yang felt very uncomfortable. He was handsome and had a good family background, but he had never been looked down upon by a woman like this. He suppressed his anger and continued to pester her shamelessly, "Teacher Xu, do you have any misunderstandings about me? I just like you simply and have no ill intentions. If you don't like me, I can say it directly, but I will not give up easily. I will slowly move you with my actual actions and make you change your opinion of me..."
Xu Wen raised her hand to interrupt him. She hated people who kept pestering her. She said to him calmly, "Teacher Luo, I already have a boyfriend. There are so many single female teachers in our school. Please don't waste your time on me."
Do you have a boyfriend?
Luo Yang felt as if something in his heart had collapsed, and he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he felt extremely lost.
Suddenly, he shook his head helplessly and sneered, "Teacher Xu, I'd like to ask, what does your boyfriend do for a living? Does he also work in a certain unit in the province? If he is someone in our circle, maybe I can get to know him, hehe."
