Chapter 79 Selfishness



When Lin Wei went out on a date with Zong Shao, the news of her becoming a regular employee quickly spread throughout the family quarters with the help of Teacher Ke, and Luo Shuzhi also heard about it from other people.

Although she hated Lin Wei, she was the leader of the Military Family Resettlement Office after all, and she was very busy with work every day and did not have much time to pay attention to an ordinary military wife. So she really had no idea how Lin Wei was doing in the military primary school.

But Luo Shuzhi knew that the number of teachers in the military district primary school had not changed for a long time, mainly because the number of students had always been the same and the existing classes were enough. Feng Ying had always been a man who spent every penny very carefully and would not easily increase the number of staff.

That's why she released Lin Wei so readily when Feng Ying came to ask for her. After all, she was just a temporary worker and she could work as long as she wanted.

Luo Shuzhi really didn't expect that Lin Wei had only been in the military primary school for a few months and Feng Ying had changed her mind! If she didn't know that Zong Shao had a bad relationship with his family, she would have suspected that Zong Shao had asked his father to help mediate.

Although she felt it was unlikely that it was the work of Zong Shao's father, Luo Shuzhi still inquired about it. When she learned that the two classes taught by Lin Wei performed exceptionally well in the midterm exams, and Feng Ying changed her mind and decided to make major adjustments to the current class schedule after the new year, she felt relieved.

It’s better if no one says hello, it will be easier for her to handle it.

The next morning, Luo Shuzhi first showed up at the Military Family Settlement Office and asked her subordinate, Officer Wu, for the information of the new military wives.

Secretary Wu was a little puzzled: "Why do you need her information? Are there any job vacancies recently?"

Luo Shuzhi said vaguely: "I'll show it to the leaders of other units first."

She is the director, so naturally she can do whatever she wants. Secretary Wu didn't ask any more questions and just found the information. But after seeing Luo Shuzhi leave the Military Family Resettlement Office, I couldn't help but whisper to my colleagues: "What do you think of this new military wife? Why is Director Luo so concerned about her?"

Secretary Fu chuckled and said, "I think the new military wife doesn't have much background, so Director Luo is probably just trying to stir up trouble."

"What is she doing?" Director Wu didn't react.

Secretary Fu glanced at her and reminded her, "Think carefully, what new things have happened in our family quarters recently?"

Secretary Wu recalled, but she was talking about either this kid getting beaten up again or that couple quarreling again. Seeing that she really couldn't get to the point, Secretary Fu had to remind her more clearly: "Military District Primary School!"

"Military primary school?" Officer Wu opened his mouth wide after he finished speaking. "You mean Lin Wei's regular job? No way?"

"Why can't I do this? Have you forgotten what the new military wives did before they joined the army?" Officer Fu asked. Without waiting for Officer Wu to answer, he murmured, "I just hope that they fight each other and we, the little devils, don't suffer."

When Feng Ying was giving a lecture, she glanced outside and saw Luo Shuzhi standing at the door.

As neighbors for many years, the two were quite familiar with each other. However, when Feng Ying saw Luo Shuzhi, not only was there no smile on his face, but his eyes were also slightly gloomy.

But she didn't leave them out. After she finished a paragraph, she asked the students to review it and then she walked out and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I have something to tell you. Are you in class?" This was a question he asked knowingly, but the meaning was also very clear. He wanted to chat with Feng Ying privately.

Feng Ying hummed, looked back at the students in the class, and said, "Come to my office."

When they arrived at the office, Feng Ying first poured Luo Shuzhi a cup of tea, asked her to sit down, and asked, "Now, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Luo Shuzhi said, handing the information in her hand to Feng Ying: "I brought a document, please take a look first."

Feng Ying took the information, glanced at it and looked up: "Ning Hong? What's wrong with this person?"

"Take a closer look at her work experience." Luo Shuzhi pointed to the work experience column on the form and said, "This Ning Hong is from the capital. She went to Qin Province to work in the production team in 1968. Later, the place where she worked in the production team wanted to set up a production team primary school. Because she was good at academic subjects, she became the first teacher of the production team primary school. Her personal work ability is beyond doubt. However, as you know, these production team-run primary schools are all privately run, and teachers are paid by work points. So when she followed the army, she couldn't be transferred here, and had to give up her job in her hometown."

Feng Ying put down Ning Hong's personal information and said calmly, "I remember this is the job of your Military Family Resettlement Office."

"I came to you because of the work of our Military Family Placement Office," Luo Shuzhi said with a faint smile, "Isn't the Military District Primary School going to increase the number of teachers? What do you think of her?"

"You didn't know?" Feng Ying looked surprised. "The candidates for the additional quota have already been decided."

"Comrade Lin Wei?"

Feng Ying nodded: "That's her. She has done well since she joined the Military District Primary School. The grades of the two classes she taught have improved significantly. That's why I wanted to apply for an additional place."

Luo Shuzhi was not satisfied and asked, "She didn't graduate from a teachers' college and has no teaching experience. How good can she be at her job?"

The smile on Feng Ying's face faded: "Director Luo, are you questioning the opinions of me and all the teachers?"

Luo Shuzhi's expression froze, but she was responsible for the Military Family Resettlement Office after all, so she still had some adaptability: "Look at what you said. You are professionals in education, and I am an outsider. I don't express my opinions. But I think there is a big difference between having work experience and not having work experience. No matter how well Comrade Lin Wei does, can she be better than a teacher with several years of teaching experience?"

As Luo Shuzhi spoke, she reached out to take Ning Hong's information and said with a smile, "You didn't see the recommendation letter that Comrade Ning Hong's brigade wrote to her. The letter praised her like a flower, saying that she has a good personality and can teach children well. The children love her very much. If it wasn't for her and her husband to be reunited, their brigade leader didn't want to let her go at all. Compared with Comrade Lin Wei, this kind of person can't be worse, right?"

"She may not be bad, but I believe Lin Wei is better."

There are veteran teachers in the Military Region Primary School, and many of them are loved by children, but among them, Lin Wei's teaching style is also very unique.

And what Feng Ying values ​​is her uniqueness.

Luo Shuzhi frowned slightly. She thought that after she showed Feng Ying Ning Hong's information, she would change her mind, but she didn't expect that her attitude would be so firm.

Luo Shuzhi thought for a moment and continued, "Isn't what you said biased? After all, Comrade Ning Hong has been teaching for four or five years. It's impossible for her to be worse than Lin Wei, right? How about this, arrange a trial class and let Comrade Ning Hong and Comrade Lin Wei compete for the title?"

Feng Ying didn't answer when she heard this. Instead, she looked at her and said, "You seem to have something against Lin Wei."

Luo Shuzhi's heart skipped a beat and she denied it, saying, "Look at what you're saying. I didn't even know her before, so how could I have any opinion of her?"

Feng Ying asked meaningfully, "Really? Then why did I hear that Xiao Chen wanted Lin Wei to work in the hospital pharmacy, but you firmly disagreed, so the matter was dropped?"

"Principal Feng, what are you talking about?" Luo Shuzhi's face changed. "I didn't agree to let Lin Wei work in the hospital pharmacy, but that's because she just arrived on the island and hasn't even got her household registration done. She didn't go through our work placement office, but she got the job privately. Tell me, if this gets out, what will other military wives think? What will they think of our military family placement office?"

Luo Shuzhi felt that the reasons she gave were sufficient, but Feng Ying's expression did not ease after hearing it. Instead, he said sternly, "How do you see it? Look with your old eyes! The army set up the Military Family Resettlement Office to reduce the work process, so that the new military wives would not have to run all over the army and commune to get a household registration, and there would be no news for ten days or half a month! Lao Guan asked the military wives to do this job, and he hoped that you could put yourself in their shoes and serve them better! But ask yourself, have you done these things?"

Without waiting for Luo Shuzhi to answer, Feng Ying said, "You didn't! You complicated the process, increased the workload, and even abused your power. You wish you could turn the Military Family Resettlement Office into a place where you have the final say!"

"Feng Ying!" Luo Shuzhi stood up angrily, pointing at Feng Ying and saying, "I have worked diligently over the years, if not at all diligently, and have never had any selfish motives. How can you slander me like this? You said I had selfish motives, but I still want to ask you! Lin Wei is not a graduate of a teachers' college and has no teaching experience, why are you so biased towards her and insist on giving her a permanent job?"

"Do you think I insist on giving her a permanent position because I am partial?"

Luo Shuzhi snorted coldly: "You don't even dare to let them compete, what else can you say if not partiality?"

Feng Ying suddenly changed her tone: "Okay, I can let them compete."

Luo Shuzhi looked at Feng Ying suspiciously, but she looked at her coldly and said word by word: "I am sure she can get the job, but I am not sure whether you can keep your current job."

Lin Wei just walked to the door of Zhou's house with the prepared meal, and saw Liu Dan standing behind her house. She asked in surprise: "Why are you here now?"

Although the Military Family Settlement Office has a two-hour break at noon, Liu Dan has to go get lunch for her children after get off work and usually does not come to see her at this time.

Liu Dan quickly walked up to Lin Wei and said, "I have something important to tell you!"

Seeing her anxious expression, Lin Wei's expression also became serious: "What's the matter?"

Liu Dan had suffered from the fact that walls have ears, so even though he didn't see anyone around, he still said, "Let's talk about it when we get home."

"Then I'll call the children out first."

Liu Dan nodded, but did not follow them into the Zhou family. She just waited outside for the mother and her two children. It was not until Mingming Ruirui smiled and called her aunt that a smile appeared on her face and she turned and walked towards the front yard of the Zong family.

After entering the yard, Lin Wei opened the door. She didn't rush to distribute the food, but let the two brothers go into the house to play.

Although Ruirui didn't understand what was going on, he didn't ask much. He skipped to the sofa, looked for a puzzle piece and a wooden car, and started playing with them.

Lin Wei asked Liu Dan to sit down at the table, poured her a glass of water and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Dan lowered his voice and said, "Something serious has happened! Our director may cause trouble for you."

"What kind of trouble can your director give me?" Lin Wei wondered. As early as when she was a substitute teacher, her file was transferred from the Military Family Placement Office to the Military District Primary School. Now she was not under the control of Luo Shuzhi in any way.

"I heard from Xiao Fu next door that our director must have heard about your promotion. As soon as he arrived at the company today, he asked Sister Wu to get Ning Hong's information and went out. I guess he went to see your principal." After Liu Dan finished speaking a long string of words, he was so thirsty that he raised his head and drank half a glass of water before stopping.

Before she finished drinking the water, she heard Lin Wei ask, "Who is Ning Hong?"

Liu Dan coughed twice and looked up and said, "She's the wife of a soldier who just came to join the army last month. Don't you know her?"

"Oh, I've heard of it. What's wrong with taking her information? Does Director Luo want her to replace me?"

"She didn't say it clearly when she left, but Xiao Fu guessed it. You don't know that Ning Hong was also a teacher in her hometown, but she was in a primary school run by the team. She didn't have a staff position and couldn't be transferred here." After thinking for a while, he added, "I heard that she has several years of teaching experience."

After Liu Dan finished speaking, he looked up at Lin Wei. Seeing that her expression was still calm, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you understand the seriousness of the matter?"

"I see. What you mean is that Director Luo wants to use Ning Hong, who has several years of work experience, to squeeze me out of the military primary school, right?" Lin Wei asked in conclusion.

"Yeah, that's right." Liu Dan nodded, and after waiting for a while, he asked, "And then?"

"What then?"

Liu Dan asked: "She wants to deal with you and ruin your work, aren't you anxious?"

Lin Wei asked back: "Can my anxiety stop her from dealing with me?"

Liu Dan thought seriously for a moment and shook his head: "But you can always try your best to persuade your principal not to replace you."

Lin Wei nodded.

Just as Liu Dan breathed a sigh of relief, she heard her mutter to herself, "But I don't think our principal will agree to replace me."

Liu Dan was startled: "Are you sure?"

"I think our principal likes me very much." Lin Wei said shamelessly.

Liu Dan vomited blood. Although self-confidence is a good thing, Lin Wei was a little too confident.

Seeing Lin Wei's hurt expression, Lin Wei smiled and stopped teasing her: "Think about it, the number of classroom positions in the military district primary school has not increased for many years, and how many years has this way of scheduling classes continued?"

"Do you think Principal Feng decided to change because of you?"

"I can't say it's all because of me, but at least I played a role."

Does Feng Ying really not know the drawbacks of the current class scheduling method in the military primary school? Lin Wei thought that might not be the case, but she attached too much importance to the Military Primary School. When it came time to make reforms, she was inevitably hesitant because she was not sure whether the changes would be for the better or for the worse. But the appearance of Lin Wei gave her confidence in the path after the reform.

Feng Ying is such a cautious person, and anyone who can influence her is certainly not a dispensable person.

In that case, what is Lin Wei worried about?

Liu Dan was still a little worried: "But our director has known Principal Feng for so many years, what if she plays the emotional card..."

Although Lin Wei felt that Feng Ying was not someone who would show favoritism, she could not completely deny that possibility. But in this case... She sighed and said, "Then I can only accept it."

Hearing these discouraging words, Liu Dan felt a little uncomfortable. She did not encourage Lin Wei to fight for it anymore. She just reached out and patted her shoulder and said, "Actually, that's just a possibility. Maybe things are just as you think. Principal Feng likes you very much and values ​​you very much. She won't replace you."

Lin Wei smiled and asked, "Would you like to have something to eat here?"

"Forget it. My children at home are waiting for dinner." Liu Dan said and left in a hurry.

Lin Wei sat at the table for a while before getting up and asking the two children to eat.

Although Liu Dan was very worried, half a month later, Lin Wei was still feeling comfortable at work.

On the contrary, the Military Family Resettlement Office parachuted in a deputy director shortly after the start of the new year. Although it was only a temporary position, everyone could see Luo Shuzhi's ugly face when the notice came out.
