On the rostrum, Sun Minghua shook the speech manuscript in his hand and said, "So, that's the main content of today's meeting. Next, there is one more thing I want to inform everyone about."
It’s coming! The audience was immediately excited, and they shouted in their hearts, the big thing is coming!
"Before National Day, the school organized a monthly exam."
"Since it's just a monthly exam, and the purpose of this monthly exam has been announced last time, it's to find out the basics! For the convenience of the teachers, let each class correct its own papers."
"But!" Sun Minghua changed the subject and pointed his finger at Zhou Yu, "Letting each class grade their own papers is not a reason to use them for some purpose!"
"Some head teachers, for the sake of their own so-called 'face', indulge their students in cheating in exams!"
"Not only that, this individual teacher also tampered with the examination papers! He did something that violated the ethics of a teacher!"
As soon as he finished speaking, many people turned around and looked at Zhou Yu in the corner.
Zhu Laiwei, who was in the front row, was also among them. Like everyone else, he looked at Zhou Yu, who was sitting in the corner silently with his head down, as if he was unaware of all this.
"snort!"
Zhu Laiwei snorted coldly, feeling unhappy with Zhou Yu's calm appearance.
What the hell are you pretending to be! Pen sharpener, I, Zhu Laiwei, have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice, why are you pretending to be calm now! Wait until you come to the stage to review and see how embarrassed you are!
Zhu Laiwei imagined in his mind the scene where Zhou Yu would burst into tears and apologize to him and the principal after he went on stage. He suddenly felt refreshed and even the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
Although Sun Minghua on the rostrum saw everything that happened below the stage, he acted as if he didn't notice anything.
"Cough, cough," Sun Minghua cleared his throat, shifting everyone's attention from Zhou Yu to himself again.
Sun Minghua enjoys the feeling of being watched by everyone. It makes him feel like he, Sun Minghua, is in control of the world.
"Zhou Yu, Teacher Zhou!" Sun Minghua called out his name directly. "He's an intern teacher from our school! He's from Jiangcheng Normal University, a 211 key university! He's an excellent young man!"
"I can tell you very clearly! The 'individual head teacher' I just mentioned is our teacher Xiao Zhou!" There was an uproar in the audience.
You know, for a principal to say this to a trainee teacher at a regular faculty meeting is quite serious.
Many people were shocked and confused. How big a mistake could a trainee teacher have made to make a principal punish him like this?
"But!" Sun Minghua ignored everyone's reaction and continued, "I have already talked to Teacher Xiao Zhou, and he has deeply realized his mistake!"
"Members of our leadership team have also discussed this. We all believe that as long as Teacher Xiao Zhou takes the initiative to review his mistakes, the school will no longer pursue the mistakes made by Teacher Xiao Zhou!"
"So, this time, Teacher Xiao Zhou will take the initiative to review his mistakes at our meeting!"
When Sun Minghua said this, his excited face was flushed with a sickly blush, as if this gave him a strange kind of pleasure.
"Is Teacher Zhou here?" Although Sun Minghua knew where Zhou Yu was sitting, he still asked knowingly, "If you are here, please stand up and come to the podium to make your self-criticism in front of all our school leaders and faculty!"
Swish, swish, swish...
Everyone's eyes turned to Zhou Yu in the corner.
Zhou Yu didn't feel anything, but Xiao Chen and Lin Ya beside him suddenly felt their hands and feet go weak and they began to feel anxious.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
A full half minute passed, and Zhou Yu was still sitting in his seat as steady as a rock, which surprised the teachers around him and they began to discuss it in a low voice.
Sun Minghua on the rostrum frowned, feeling that things were beginning to get out of his control, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Teacher Zhou! Please stand up! Come to the podium and make your self-criticism!" Sun Minghua spoke to Zhou Yu again with the microphone, but there was a hint of warning in his tone.
Xiao Chen swallowed his saliva, and when no one was paying attention, he gently tugged at the corner of Zhou Yu's clothes and reminded him in a low voice, "Zhou Yu, stand up quickly, don't be stubborn! Get through this first!"
After Xiao Chen's reminder, Zhou Yu came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream.
He slowly stood up under the gaze of everyone and gave a reassuring smile to Xiao Chen and Lin Ya who were looking at him worriedly.
Then, he picked up the folder that had been prepared long ago, walked calmly to the side of the podium, and walked in front of the microphone that had been prepared long ago.
Sun Minghua glanced at the folder in Zhou Yu's hand and frowned. He instinctively felt that something was wrong. Did the self-criticism need to be put in such a big folder? But seeing that Zhou Yu was about to speak, he couldn't interrupt, so he could only wait and see.
Zhou Yu glanced at the leaders on the podium beside him. When he saw that Sun Minghua had a gloomy face, Yin Xiangdong was excited, Qian Dawei had flickering eyes, and their expressions were different, he confirmed in his heart that these so-called school leaders should all have their own thoughts.
"I'm confused." After three seconds of silence, Zhou Yu raised his head and spoke into the microphone, "I don't understand why I'm standing here to conduct a so-called self-examination?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the audience was in an uproar.
What's going on? Didn't you say you want to review it? What are you doing?
On the rostrum, Sun Minghua's face suddenly became very ugly. He slammed the table and shouted, "Zhou Yu! What are you talking about! Do you know what your behavior is called! Unorganized and undisciplined! You..."
"Principal Sun," Zhou Yu interrupted Sun Minghua before he finished speaking, "A few days ago, you told me in your office that many teachers have opinions about me, especially Teacher Zhu Laiwei. Here, I would like to ask Teacher Zhu, what is your opinion of me?"
Zhou Yu stared at Zhu Laiwei in the audience with burning eyes. Zhu Laiwei's face turned ashen and he said nothing under the gaze of everyone.
"As a teacher, the first thing he thinks about is not teaching students well. Instead, he slanders and defames students in other classes after they get their grades. I would like to ask Teacher Zhu, is this kind of behavior something a teacher who teaches and educates people can do?"
"To put it mildly, you are just jealous and can't see the good in others. To put it seriously, you are destroying a student's future by slandering him!"
The discussions in the audience had completely stopped, and everyone was staring at everything in amazement, as if they had no idea what was going on.
Holy shit! Is this so exciting? If we don’t fight, it will be hard to end today!
"Zhou Yu! Do you know what you are talking about?" Sun Minghua no longer cared about his face and scolded Zhou Yu in public.
"What are you doing? Do you have any manners? What do you call this behavior? You are slandering an old teacher! You are putting a label on an old teacher who has been teaching for more than 20 years! Teacher Zhu has been teaching for so many years, and you..."
"Principal Sun! And you!" Zhou Yu interrupted Sun Minghua again, and pointed his finger at Sun Minghua, "A few days ago, you called me to your office. You told me that because my student was in the parallel class, she should not score as well as the students in the advanced class!"
"I would like to ask," Zhou Yu turned his head and looked at Sun Minghua coldly, "Are the students' grades real? Have you conducted any investigation to prove it?"
"Or are you just doing it for your own selfish desires? Just listening to Mr. Zhu Laiwei's one-sided words, you believe it easily and can't wait to make others admit their mistakes!"
Sun Minghua on the side was so angry that his face turned pale and he couldn't speak. The vice-principal Yin Xiangdong next to Sun Minghua, who was supposed to maintain order when the principal was unable to speak, did not say a word, but watched all this with interest.
Zhou Yu took out a thick stack of test papers from the folder in his hand, "Here are several test papers. Half of them are from my student Liang Yin. Oh, yes, that's the paper from the girl who scored 546."
"The other half belongs to Mr. Zhu's top class, and I took it too."
When Zhu Laiwei heard this, his face suddenly changed.
Zhou Yu raised the paper in his hand and smiled. "I have to say that Teacher Zhu is kinder to students. If I were to correct the paper of Teacher Zhu's student, this student who scored 490 would only get 470 at most."
"I'll leave the test paper here. If you're interested, you can check it out to see if I gave the points as Mr. Zhu said."
"By the way," Zhou Yu was about to leave, but immediately stopped and returned to the microphone.
Zhou Yu seemed to have thought of something, smiled, and then smiled at the audience, "Teacher Zhu emphasized that my student cheated. However, my student scored 546, the highest in the school. So who did she cheat from?"
After saying that, Zhou Yu threw down the papers, turned around and left. The rest of the people looked at each other, at a loss as to what to do.
After Zhou Yu left the conference room, Sun Minghua finally seemed to come to his senses. Sun Minghua angrily slapped the conference table and roared, "Lawless! Lawless! Are young teachers nowadays so uneducated? This is no longer a simple issue, it is a professional attitude!"
Vice President Yin Xiangdong, who had been pretending to be invisible throughout the whole thing, became noticeable again when Sun Minghua went crazy.
He took the microphone and said to the stunned crowd, "Okay, let's go! There may be some misunderstandings today, don't take it to heart. Go back to class and prepare for class!"
