The atmosphere in the office was dull and depressing.

Bai Jie sat in her seat, watching and listening to her colleagues gathered together to discuss work. She felt like an outsider and had no sense of existence.

In order to ease the embarrassment, she got up and went to the toilet many times, either to get some water or to water the cactus on the table. The cactus is a drought-tolerant plant, and it will die if it is watered too much... At this time, the cactus has been watered several times by Bai Jie, and it is estimated that it will not live long. If it could speak, it would definitely call Bai Jie "idiot"...

Whenever Bai Jie leaves the house, these colleagues would talk about her in a sarcastic way behind her back, saying things like, "What's wrong with having a family background? If you offend your boss, you'll end up in trouble."

"She said she knew County Magistrate Li Lin, but he didn't even pay any attention to her! She was so shameless to approach him..."

"Don't listen to her bragging. If she really had some background, why would she be transferred from the city to work in our county? If she really had some background, she should have been transferred back long ago!"

Anyway, no one said anything good about Bai Jie.

You say that these colleagues have low quality, but that's not entirely true. Because they work from nine to five every day and have such low incomes, they are not happy, so they like to laugh at those who are worse off than themselves. At least their families are all based in the county. Although they don't have luxury, they still have a husband and children and a warm bed to sleep in when they return home. They are much better off than Bai Jie, the unlucky guy who was sent down from the countryside.

Therefore, they can't help but build their sense of superiority on the "unlucky" Bai Jie, laugh at her and make themselves happy.

But they also knew how to keep their distance. As soon as they saw Bai Jie coming back, they immediately shut up and pretended to be discussing work, never mentioning anything about Bai Jie. They were also afraid that this crazy girl Bai Jie would suddenly fall out with them, and then everyone would be embarrassed together, which would not be worth it.

Although Bai Jie didn't say anything, she felt that the looks her colleagues gave her were very strange, like a smile but not a smile, like pity but not pity... This made her feel very uncomfortable. If it were in the past, she would definitely stand up and ask, "What are you looking at?"

But this time she didn't... She didn't know when she learned to be tolerant. As long as others didn't say anything, she would never seek trouble. Instead, she would smile and comfort herself, "Laugh, laugh. Sooner or later I will be transferred back to the city. What's the harm in letting you laugh for a few more days!"

Bai Jie was also surprised by her attitude. She sometimes wondered if this was a form of growth?

It turns out that people never grow in a greenhouse, but are honed in harsh environments full of ups and downs.

Unconsciously, her mentality changed.

Things that I cared about before now seem like a joke.

She suddenly felt that the world became clearer, and her mood inexplicably became much more relaxed.

She no longer cared about when she could return to the city or whether she could work at the city government again... She calmed down and felt that she could accept any outcome.

This feeling of going with the flow is wonderful, just like a person trapped in an iron cage suddenly regaining his freedom...it is so wonderful that it is indescribable.

She sighed softly, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and a peaceful smile appeared on her face.

When everyone saw Bai Jie laughing to herself, they thought she was too traumatized and had mental problems.

At this time, Principal Yang walked into their office in a hurry.

Seeing Bai Jie at her workstation, he walked up to her and congratulated her with a smile, contrary to his usual behavior, "Teacher Bai, congratulations. I just received a notice that you can return to work at the municipal government tomorrow."

Bai Jie was surprised and stared at Principal Yang blankly. She never expected that happiness would come so suddenly.

When the teachers in the room heard that Bai Jie would be able to return to work at the city government tomorrow, they were all stunned!

They were just talking about Bai Jie, laughing at her, and teasing her... and the next moment, she was going back to work at the municipal government.

Everyone blushed and dug their toes into the ground awkwardly... they didn't know what to say for a moment.

Bai Jie was not so happy about this unexpected good news that she danced with joy. Instead, she looked calm. She slowly stood up, looked at Principal Yang, and said sincerely, "Principal Yang, thank you for taking care of me these days..."

She turned around and looked around at her colleagues in the room, and said, "Thank you all for your care. Thank you. If you have time in the future, you can come to the city to find me and I will treat you."

She smiled, smiling at everyone, with tears in her eyes.

Principal Yang thought of his unwarranted scolding of Bai Jie this morning and felt ashamed. He smiled sheepishly and said, "Teacher Bai, you are too polite. You have to understand that as a principal, I should take care of our teachers, but managing our teachers is my unshirkable responsibility... Sometimes I am a little strict with you, so don't take it to heart. Go back to the municipal government and work hard. When you have time, come back to Shannan County."

In fact, after hearing that Bai Jie was going to return to the city government, Principal Yang felt a little annoyed that he was too harsh on Bai Jie this morning, fearing that Bai Jie would hold a grudge against him. Although he might not be able to ask Bai Jie for help in the future, it is always better to have one more friend than one more enemy.

Therefore, when he came to announce the news to Bai Jie, he had already prepared himself mentally. No matter what, it would be better to shake hands and make peace with Bai Jie so that no one would be embarrassed.

With Bai Jie's previous temper, she might not accept Principal Yang's apology, let alone say words like "thank you" to everyone.

But when she thought about the fact that these colleagues had not done any substantial harm to her, and even when she first came to Experimental Primary School, these colleagues took the initiative to help her clean the rental house... and Teacher Liu often helped her with work, even if she was not grateful, she had no reason to hold a grudge against these colleagues with whom she had not worked for a long time.
