Wei Ke has been running errands at the Education Bureau for quite some time and has seen what reality is like. Not to mention the director, even the clerks below him have an arrogant attitude. If it's a section chief or something, it goes without saying that they act like they own the place.
Now that it's the bureau chief's turn, Wei Ke is even more alert, because this is the only thing left. If everything goes smoothly, once Zhou Yutang signs off, she can take the paperwork back to the provincial capital.
Upon entering the room, Wei Ke's nerves tightened.
Xiao Lüping greeted him respectfully, calling him "Director," and Wei Ke echoed him, also calling him "Director."
"Xiao Xiao, this is Teacher Wei, right?" Zhou Yutang had met Xiao Lüping last time they drank together and still remembered him.
"Yes, Director Wei."
"Yes, please have a seat. How's the paperwork going?"
“It’s almost all done. Before, Teacher Wei was running around in the provincial capital handling all sorts of procedures, and we didn’t know about it. Otherwise, we should have reported this situation to Director Zhou long ago…” Xiao Lüping definitely had to explain.
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Yutang waved his hand to interrupt Xiao Lüping and said directly, "Where are the paperwork? Let me see."
Xiao Lüping gave Wei Ke a look, and Wei Ke stepped forward and respectfully placed all the paperwork in front of Zhou Yutang. Zhou Yutang casually flipped through it and then looked at Wei Ke.
"You haven't even been here long enough to start your teaching stint. You've only been here for a few months. Why do you already want to go back?"
"I..." Wei Ke's face stiffened upon hearing this. Just as she was about to brace herself and explain, Zhou Yutang spoke up again, "Do you know Mayor Li?"
“I know him. Mayor Li often comes to Meilin Village. The guidance team’s station is also in the village committee compound, and the primary school is also there…” Wei Ke said honestly. Zhou Yutang was a little puzzled when he heard this.
With such a small connection, why would Li Xiuyuan be willing to step in? It's not even a particularly good relationship, and Li Xiuyuan is very adept at handling interpersonal relationships. If there were no connection, why would he help Wei Ke?
However, seeing Wei Ke's state, Zhou Yutang couldn't say anything, so he nodded and said, "Normally, we can't let you go before the deadline, but since your situation is special, you can go back."
Zhou Yutang picked up the pen on the table and quickly signed his name on the document.
In that instant, Wei Kexin felt completely at ease.
"Thank you, Director Zhou."
"Alright, go ahead." Zhou Yutang waved his hand. Whether he signed the document or not was completely irrelevant to him; it was just a matter of his mood. Since Li Xiuyuan had given his permission, he would sign it.
Wei Ke clutched the documents tightly in her hand as she and Xiao Lüping left the Education Bureau, their excitement still lingering.
