Chapter 514 Dark Horse

I studied for two consecutive classes and had no other classes that day.

Lu Miao chatted with Guan Yangyang and the others, then slowly packed up his things, planning to go home in time for lunch.

As soon as he stood up and walked out of the classroom, he was stopped by Li Jiancheng.

"teacher."

"teacher."

"Um."

Li Jiancheng nodded and waved to Lu Miao.

Guan Yangyang saw at a glance that Li Jiancheng wanted to talk to Lu Miao, so she smiled at Lu Miao and went back to the dormitory with her textbook.

Lu Miao waved his hand and turned his gaze back to Li Jiancheng:

"Teacher, what's the matter?"

"Yes, there is something."

Li Jiancheng smiled and raised his hand, "Talk while we walk?"

Lu Miao nodded and went to the office together.

Li Jiancheng said straight to the point:

"Principal Chen convened a meeting of two consecutive classes this morning with the teachers from the Foreign Languages ​​Department. They came up with some decisions and wanted to ask for your opinion."

"Ask me?"

Lu Miao was confused.

What could happen at school that requires her attention?

Li Jiancheng said "hmm" and said:

"Teacher Hu has been running back and forth between the Beijing Normal University next door recently. You often substitute teach Class 2, so I know that."

Lu Miao nodded.

Li Jiancheng continued:

"You're the dark horse in our class, and your grades are recognized by the school. Last month, you filled in for Class 2, and their grades were very stable. This is enough to show that you're quite accomplished in teaching."

“…”

Lu Miao vaguely understood something.

But isn’t this evaluation a bit too high for her, who is still a freshman at this stage?

"English-speaking talent is scarce, and at the end of this summer the country issued a new policy to encourage students to pay attention to this language."

Li Jiancheng didn't know what she was thinking, so he continued:

"Now that all major universities are restarting English classes, the availability of teachers is a problem."

Lu Miao's eyelashes trembled up and down, and she was basically sure of what Li Jiancheng wanted to say.

I think it probably means that she can substitute teach Class 2 regularly.

However, Li Jiancheng scratched his head, and said the next second:

"The president of Renmin University, your father, President Lu, called and asked for support and assistance. This is the purpose of the meeting this morning."

"There are only two teachers in our school who can teach English: Mr. Tan and Mr. Hu."

"You know what the situation is with these two teachers now..."

“…”

Lu Miao was stunned and silent for a moment, then he revealed the secret:

"Teacher, you don't mean to let me go, do you?"

Her father said a few days ago, "Solve the problem if there is one." Is this the solution?

Lu Miao shook his head, thinking and questioning:

"Teacher, I'm still a student. My professional teacher has something urgent to do, so I can go to Class 2 to help monitor classroom discipline. But it's not appropriate for me to go to Renmin University..."

"You can't say that. Special circumstances require special measures."

Li Jiancheng said:

"The situation is tense, and this is the only solution. Principal Chen also knows that you are substituting for Class 2 and thinks you are a perfect fit."

"At the end of the morning discussion, they said that if you're willing to go, Renmin University will adjust their course schedule to suit your schedule."

For classes like today, which only have half a day in the morning, Lu Miao can finish his classes at Peking University and go to Renmin University in the afternoon.

"Principal Lu also said that he will continue to look for teachers specializing in English. Now we have someone assigned to go there. They only need to teach the regular classes and maintain the classroom."

"Also, although you're not a proper teacher, the school can't let you run around for nothing. The principals of both schools want to give you thirty yuan each per month."

This money is said to be for each party's expenses, but in fact, the expenses of Peking University will most likely come from Lu Yuanzheng in the end.

When it comes to recruiting people to Peking University, Lu Yuanzheng pays reasonable salaries and benefits.

It doesn't make sense that Chen Rivet would touch the school's account after helping out.

Lu Yuanzheng couldn't tolerate such a thing happening.

Lu Miao nodded thoughtfully and asked:

"Was this arranged by Principal Chen, or was it me that my father specifically appointed?"

"Principal Lu didn't specify who he wanted. It was a unanimous decision made by Principal Chen and several relevant teachers. It's similar to your previous substitute teaching job for Class 2."

Otherwise, it will take some time to find someone.

Lu Miao nodded, and his mind became clearer.

Being in a high position and calling on your own people will easily lead to criticism from the outside world.

She said that her father definitely wouldn't ask for her specifically.

"I can go there to help keep an eye on the school during half-day classes. I have other things to do during my other holidays and cannot cooperate with the transfer."

Lu Miao thought for a moment and continued:

"I can take only half of the salary, or none at all. Either Renmin University or Peking University can reimburse my travel expenses, but I have one condition."

Li Jiancheng asked: "What are the conditions?"

Lu Miao said, "Teacher, you know, the president of Renmin University is my father. As a daughter, it's my duty to help my father, but this kind of relationship can easily be exploited by those with ulterior motives."

We talked about this at home a few days ago.

Lu Miao knew that Lu Yuanzheng was worried about this.

If possible, and time permits, she would certainly be willing to help her father share some of the burden.

It would be fine if she was Lu Yuanzheng's student, but she is not.

If someone makes a fuss about this incident, saying that the father and daughter are smuggling contraband.

What should we do if our own people decide among themselves and try to steal the country's resources for money, benefits, etc.?

Of course it would be good if it didn't happen. But what if it did happen?

As long as she thinks about it, she must nip any potential trouble in the bud.

Don't look back and work hard, and still not get any good results for your family.

Lu Miaoxiu frowned slightly, thought carefully, and then stated her request directly:

"I need the transfer arrangement letter written by Principal Chen."

As long as we have Chen Rivet's handwriting, no matter what happens in the future, we will have the absolute confidence to explain what happened clearly.

Li Jiancheng thought about it for a moment and understood. He nodded and said:

"Your consideration is reasonable. I will go and talk to Principal Chen about this later."

After a pause, Li Jiancheng confirmed with her again:

"So, you agree, right? If you're sure there's no problem, I'll give them our class schedule."

Lu Miao nodded seriously.

"Okay, then this is settled for now."

Li Jiancheng laughed:

"When there's news, I'll let you know exactly when you'll be needed."

"Okay."

"There's nothing else to do for now. You should pack up and go back quickly. It'll be dinner time when you get home."

"I understand, teacher."

Lu Miao responded, bowed slightly, and left the office with his bag.

It was time to get home. I was delayed today, and Lu Miao was still walking on the road holding a small umbrella.

Fu Jingyou returned home and didn't see her. When he asked Tang Mei and learned that she hadn't come back yet, he immediately became restless.

I pushed my bike out and headed towards Peking University to look for someone.
