Chapter 592 Dropping out of school
One more member joined the tour group.
Xia Yan, Xiong Xiong, Xiao Wan, and Xiong Xiong.
The mountain bike has four seats in total. Xia Yan, who was already lazy, was even more lazy and was paddling.
Every move is a new environment.
Zhikang wrapped four small red fish tightly in tin foil and roasted them over the fire.
Xia Yan specifically asked for honey chicken wings, so Xiong Xiong contributed his honey. Xiao Wan took advantage of everyone's inattention and threw the round thing wrapped in bay leaves into the charcoal pile, then quickly picked it up and stirred it randomly with a wooden stick.
No one knew what she was roasting, and in the end all they saw was a charred mass mixed in.
Xiongxiong pestered her for a long time, but Xiaowan kept her mouth shut and refused to reveal a single word.
Xia Yan ate the tender and smooth fish meat, drank passion fruit flavored sparkling water, and watched the excitement with great interest.
They were having a picnic on the wet road. The weeds in the landscaped area behind them were taller than people, and from time to time a zombie would rush out, attracted by the sound.
The moment he saw them, he lost his target, and then walked aimlessly on the street, shaking his head.
The zombies would not attack Xia Yan and the other three, but they could still scare them. Over time, the four of them became indifferent and began to ignore them.
After finishing their meal, Xia Yan and the other three continued their journey, moving forward along the avenue.
They found an old locomotive, the kind that could burn coal. After a simple cleaning, they added coal and started a fire. Thick black smoke came out from the roof and climbed diagonally into the sky.
Zhichang studied it for a while and tried to push it. The locomotive shook a few times and actually started successfully.
The double tracks were covered with weeds, and the locomotive rolled over them domineeringly.
The emerald green grass leaves spread out to the sides on the windshield, giving people the feeling of driving on green waves.
The tip of my nose is filled with the smell of fresh grass, and the rustling sound seems to sweep across the tip of my heart, making me feel itchy and stimulating.
Suddenly, the grass leaves fell to the sides like a curtain, revealing another completely new scene.
The view ahead opened up, and they were about to enter a track that would climb upwards past the coast.
There are high cliffs on the right, the vast ocean on the left, and the view down is dizzying heights.
The strong wind blew up the waves, which crashed against the rock walls and stirred up rich foam. When they looked at it from a high place, they felt that the sound was huge and powerful.
As it gradually descended and approached the sea level, the foam splashed on the windows of the passing train, and inevitably a few drops of water at the right angle splashed on everyone's faces.
They immediately burst into laughter.
The sea breeze blew away the overflowing sound and pushed the locomotive to the next destination.
...
"Boss, another student has applied to drop out."
Gao Shixu held the thin student list between his fingers, his brows furrowed.
"Are they not going to school anymore?" Xia Yan asked.
Gao Shixu shook his head slowly, "Yes, but not here."
He pushed the list in front of Xia Yan, picked up a pen casually, and kept stroking the pen cap, looking like he was preoccupied.
Xia Yan turned to the last page to see the total number of people.
The current number of students is less than 50. As expected, after the construction of schools in various bases, parents chose to go to school nearby, resulting in the loss of many students.
Xia Yan closed the roster and held it under his palm. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
Gao Shi pushed the door open and brought in a new document, but he didn't expect Xia Yan was also in the office, so his steps slowed down.
"Boss, you're here."
Gao Shixu stood up and asked, "What are you holding in your hand?"
"This is..." Gao Shi looked hesitant and embarrassed, holding the document in his hand and not willing to let go.
Gao Shixu put down his pen with a snap, took the document with some effort, and said as he turned the pages, "When did you become so indifferent, unable to say a word—"
His voice suddenly stopped and his pupils trembled.
Gao Shixu suddenly raised his head and glared at Gao Shi, "When was this filled out?"
Gao Shi lowered his eyes and said dejectedly, "Ten minutes ago."
That means...
Gao Shixu's head shifted slightly to the left, almost by a millimeter.
Xia Yan was immediately sensitive and noticed it. She stood up and stretched out her hand: "Could it be related to me?"
Gao Shixu covered his eyes with his hands, "Nothing."
"Let me see." Her voice brooked no refusal.
Gao Shixu sighed and helplessly put the information in Xia Yan's hands.
"I'll go and try to persuade them later to see if they have any difficulties. Otherwise, why would they suddenly have such thoughts when they are doing their work so well..."
Gao Shixu's repeated reactions gave Xia Yan a bad feeling. Sure enough, there were three words written on the document: resignation letter.
The two of them stared at her reaction, and words of comfort immediately came out of their mouths.
Xia Yan flipped through a few pages casually.
The teachers who submitted their resignation applications no longer have any students under their names. What else can they do if they stay? Are they going to guard an empty classroom every day?
Besides, the schools in the base are recruiting teachers, and the benefits are very good.
In addition, they have more advantages than other applicants and are easier to get the job. The position of teacher is very limited and if you don't apply now, there will be no vacancy later.
"I thought it was something, the principal. You don't need to go to them. I approved it."
Xia Yan unscrewed the pen cap and wrote the word "agree" in a flamboyant manner.
"Boss, you——" Gao Shixu widened his eyes.
Xia Yan picked up the thin student roster and waved it in front of him, saying bitterly, "We only have so many students now, and I still have to hire so many teachers. It's almost like one-on-one tutoring. No, it's too much of a loss, Gao Shi."
Gao Shi looked up.
“Have those teachers said where they will work in the future?”
Gao Shi recalled and said with certainty: "It should be applying for teacher positions at various bases."
Xia Yan nodded and said to Gao Shixu, "The teachers already have a way out, so we should let them find a better future. I even think..."
She suddenly fell silent, and the sunlight falling on the student roster seemed to dim.
Gao Shixu and Gao Shi noticed the stagnant atmosphere and couldn't help but tense their backs, with an inexplicable anxiety slowly seeping out.
After a while, a faint sigh sounded in the air. Xia Yan put down the roster and resignation letter, and supported himself on them with his slender fingers.
Their hearts were in their throats, their breathing even, their eyes fixed on her, waiting for the final ultimatum.
"Have all remaining students withdraw from the school, and provide a one-time three-month salary subsidy to all teachers who haven't submitted their resignation letters, including you, Principal."
"I sincerely suggest you apply to build a school. You would be a good principal."
Gao Shixu's head was buzzing.
But he could do nothing about it.
