But now, after hearing a completely different version of Bi Yantao's story from class monitor Xiao Chen, homeroom teacher Lao Zhang found it hard to believe.
"Xiao Chen, is everything you're saying true?"
Xiao Chen originally didn't plan to talk about these things, but now that he's in his senior year and about to graduate and go his separate ways, he figured he might as well say it.
Moreover, Bi Yantao's behavior has been getting worse and worse lately. He's just relying on his good looks to hook up with two rich women. What's so great about that?
If it weren't for the slight height difference between the two brothers, I would have been happy to have the older brother instead!
“Teacher Zhang, it must be true. You yourself are paid a salary. Think about it, how can normal part-time jobs bring in money so quickly? Relying on the meager earnings from handing out flyers and tutoring, how could Bi Yantao possibly have paid his tuition fee all at once last year? That was a whole 20,000 yuan!”
Indeed, that seems to be the case. The homeroom teacher recalled that the so-called part-time jobs and work-study programs were actually just things Bi Yantao said himself.
As for what part-time jobs he did, it's his dereliction of duty that he, as the homeroom teacher, failed to supervise them.
"So the incident that happened to him recently was because his two girlfriends found out about this?"
When talking about this, Xiao Chen got even more excited, embellishing the story as if he had been there himself.
The vivid description portrays Bi Yantao as a modern-day Chen Shimei, a scumbag who must be beheaded.
After hearing Xiao Chen's report, the homeroom teacher, Lao Zhang, was also a little suspicious.
Just like Xiao Chen said, Bi Yantao is an adult now. It's understandable that he would hide away for a few days to avoid the limelight because of the embarrassing incident that was recently exposed.
However, for some reason, Old Zhang felt uneasy, as if something bad had happened.
During lunch in the classroom cafeteria, a conversation between two teachers from other colleges at the next table struck Zhang like a thunderbolt, instantly shattering his mental defenses.
"Don't you think Teacher Duan is making a big fuss? He's a college student, disappearing for a few days isn't a big deal, why did he call the police?"
"The crucial point is that the patrol team even opened a case!"
"The patrol team is just following the rules. This student from Teacher Duan's class disappeared last week. It's been more than 24 hours and they can't contact her, so the patrol team can open a case!"
"Actually, I also think that Teacher Duan is making a fuss over nothing, but there's nothing I can do. He's young, and he just transferred here this year. He has to try his best to make a name for himself!"
"It's said that the missing person is a handsome young man!"
"Really? I understand now, hahaha..."
The casual chat between the two teachers during the meal, which was originally just to pass the time, had a completely different meaning to Teacher Zhang.
He quickly carried his tray to the next table. "Hello, teachers. I'm Teacher Zhang from the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. What's the situation with the student you mentioned who's gone missing? Could you tell me about it?"
With an extra gossipy listener, the two teachers were naturally happy to recount the events that had occurred in the School of Management and Economics with great enthusiasm.
Sure enough, after listening to the two teachers' stories, Teacher Duan understood why she felt uneasy.
This year has been unlucky for the university. Just as the new semester began in early spring, four male students died in the peach blossom garden behind the school.
As for the reply from the Stability Bureau, Old Zhang didn't believe it at all.
Mass suicide, student performance art, and public indecency are all just excuses used to justify these claims.
Since the incident, due to the school's gag order on teachers and students, and the fact that a month or two has passed, few students and teachers at the school are discussing this matter anymore.
However, Teacher Zhang felt that things were far from being as simple as they seemed, and that it was not over yet; there would definitely be other things to happen!
Although Professor Zhang is a university teacher, he is not a staunch materialist, and the world always gives him some inexplicable feelings.
It is now the year 4224 of the Cangli calendar. What exactly does the Cangli calendar mean?
Lost in random thoughts, Teacher Zhang unknowingly walked to the northern suburbs patrol post.
Since you're here, let's go in and explain the situation!
Teacher Zhang thought to herself, "The only time I ever came here before was many years ago when I was applying for my ID card."
The patrol station was quiet today, with few people coming in to handle business. However, Teacher Zhang sensed that the young man sitting at the reporting window seemed a bit uneasy.
Without thinking too much about it, Teacher Zhang mustered her courage, stepped forward, and explained why she had reported the incident.
Upon hearing Teacher Zhang's words, the young staff member in charge of reception was startled. Ignoring Teacher Zhang's report to the police, he immediately ran to the health officer's office.
"Wang Weishi, something terrible has happened!"
