On the other hand, the students here are full of fighting spirit, and the teachers on the other side are also busy.
Because Lao Tie had a lot of classes, he didn't have time to ask Teacher Zhang for an explanation. After class, he finally went back to the office to rest. He took two slow sips from his thermos cup, and his mind was wandering.
A female teacher passed by him and handed him a plate of lozenges.
Lao Tie was stunned: "What is this?"
The female teacher smiled and said vaguely, "Golden Throat Treasures."
Friend: “…”
"You have classes today, right? Listen to my throat, it's like a broken gong. It's hard to swallow saliva now. Luckily I prepared this in advance. Would you like to try one? It's quite effective."
"Okay, thank you." Lao Tie didn't hesitate. His throat was indeed a bit sore. He took it, scooped out a piece and put it in his mouth. The sweet, bitter, and refreshing taste spread across his tongue. He leaned back comfortably in his chair. The female teacher walked past him and joked with a smile, "You have such heavy dark circles under your eyes. It must have been very hard lately."
"Yeah, I've been studying papers at night lately."
Lao Tie took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose.
The female teacher smiled knowingly, "Is it about the new student who transferred to your class? I've seen that child twice in the past few days, and he seems quite different now. Has he really turned over a new leaf?"
"Yeah, so I plan to give her another hand. It's not easy to turn back after losing your way, so I have to let her persevere."
The female teacher nodded: "Very good."
This reminded Lao Tie, and he suddenly stood up and said, "Oh, right, I almost forgot to look for Teacher Zhang."
The female teacher was puzzled: "What?"
My friend got angry when he was mentioned, and said unhappily, "I was talking to a classmate today, and he passed by and made some sarcastic remarks. I have to make him apologize to my student."
Lao Tie did what he said and caught Teacher Zhang on time. Their offices were next to each other, so Lao Tie carried the man to his office like a chicken.
"What are you doing? You want to hit me? Tiehui, let me tell you, I'm not afraid of you. If you dare to make a move here, I'll call the police immediately."
Teacher Zhang was probably afraid of being embarrassed, so he didn't dare to shout loudly. He had a gloomy face and warned Lao Tie in a low voice.
Lao Tie pushed the person into the office, then locked the office door and looked down at Teacher Zhang who was slumped in the chair.
Teacher Zhang pushed up his glasses, suddenly feeling a little dangerous, but still said sternly, "What exactly do you want to do?"
The other teachers in the office were also afraid of something happening, so they advised, "If you can talk things over nicely, there's really no need to resort to violence."
"I didn't intend to do anything. I just wanted to resolve something that wasn't resolved before."
Lao Tie rolled up his sleeves, rested his hands on the desk, and said in a deep voice, "You spoke inappropriately today and offended my student. I want you to come with me to apologize to her."
"No, are you kidding me? I didn't curse at anyone, I just said a few truths. If you don't like it, just pretend you didn't hear it. And you're asking me to apologize. Who does she think she is, and who do you think you are?"
"I'm her teacher. At school, I have to protect her from harm. I don't care who you are. Even if the principal came today and said those things, I would still make him apologize to Lan Shuang."
Lao Tie remained calm and refused to give in.
Teacher Zhang's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You're not done yet, are you?"
"Yes, as long as you apologize to Lan Shuang, this matter will be over."
Lao Tie straightened up and looked at him, waiting for his answer.
The other teachers didn't know what to say when they saw this. The female teacher from before advised, "Teacher Zhang, you know what kind of temper Teacher Tie has. It's just an apology, it's no big deal. Call the students over later, and you can apologize here. We'll all go out and solve it."
This was well-intentioned, but Mr. Zhang was incredibly conceited, so how could he accept it? He knew that dragging this out wouldn't resolve the situation, so he slammed the table and stood up, saying, "Okay, since you want me to apologize, I'll do it, but I have one condition."
Lao Tie frowned: "You still put forward conditions?"
Teacher Zhang snorted coldly, "Don't you think what I said is wrong? Then use facts to shut me up. If Lan Shuang from your class can make it into the top 300 in the midterm exam, I will apologize to her."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the other teachers changed.
They all knew Lan Shuang's grades. After all, the only ones people could remember in a grade were the ones at the top and the ones at the bottom.
Unfortunately, Lan Shuang was in the last batch. There were more than a thousand students in the whole grade, and she was in the bottom ten. It was simply a fantasy for her to get into the top three hundred.
It would be possible to give her a year to prepare, but now there is less than a month left until the midterm, which is clearly putting her in a difficult position.
Teacher Zhang was sure Lan Shuang couldn't do it, and he became very proud. "If she does, I will apologize to her in front of the whole school. If she can't, she will apologize to me."
"You—" Lao Tie's temper flared up, grabbing his collar and angrily scolding him: "Are you still a human being? Are you worthy of being called teacher?"
"Hey—Teacher Tie, don't be impulsive!"
"This is the office."
"Calm down, calm down. There's no need to be punished for such a small matter. Calm down."
The teachers rushed forward and tried hard to separate the two. Afraid that something might happen if Teacher Zhang stayed there any longer, someone opened the office door and pushed Teacher Zhang out.
Teacher Zhang sneered and walked away with a smug look on his face.
…
The students in Class 2 didn't know about this originally, but the head teacher of Class 1 was a big mouth and worked in the same office as Teacher Zhang. He heard it clearly when he went to visit the next door. When he came back to the classroom to supervise the self-study, he told the incident as a joke.
Teacher Xiao Zhang is so rude that he makes things difficult for a student over such a trivial matter.
After the students in Class One heard the whole story, the news quickly spread to Class Two.
After self-study, a student ran to Class 2 and found Cui Hao, "Brother Cui, your homeroom teacher is really a hero."
Cui Hao leaned against the podium, looking confused: "What and what?"
"Our homeroom teacher just said that he and Teacher Zhang had an argument in the office and they almost got into a fight."
"ah?"
Cui Hao wasn't the only one who noticed this. Everyone else in the class came over and asked, "What's going on? Tell me in detail."
"It's because of Lan Shuang..."
The man spoke vividly, and Lan Shuang, who was sitting in the back, was stunned for a moment. Then she curled her lips in understanding, "He really knows how to talk."
Qin Zhou sneered, "These days anyone can be a teacher."
"We're really fighting for our reputation right now," Cui Hao said, standing on the podium. "Classmates, we can't just let Lao Tie lead the charge alone. We have to work harder too!"
This time, the students in Class 2 were unprecedentedly united.
