The homeroom teacher of Class 5, Grade 11, also received a notice to select students from impoverished families. However, unlike the other homeroom teachers, his notice already included the school's designated name: [Yan Ling].
Yanling's homeroom teacher's surname is Sun. He is an excellent teacher with many years of teaching experience. Because he is not good at speaking and is honest and straightforward, he has never been promoted and has stayed in this position for many years.
When he saw that Yanling's name was written in the list of students from impoverished families, he immediately exploded: "Who wrote that! I don't agree! Yanling is much better off than those students from impoverished families in the class, why him!"
The other teachers in the office looked at him speechlessly. They knew perfectly well that this was filled out by the leader, and as for why the leader filled it out this way, he had his own reasons.
You didn't even ask him a question before launching into a tirade. Who would be happy to hear that? No wonder he never gets an award for outstanding teacher; his emotional intelligence is just too low.
Some people even thought unkindly that it was fortunate that Old Sun, that fool, was blocking their way, which made them look decent.
Teacher Sun was unaware of his colleagues' complaints about him. At that moment, he was feeling indignant because there were several students in his class whose families were very poor, so why was it Yanling's turn?
No, he's going to report this to his superiors! He didn't fill in that name, he doesn't accept it!
Mr. Zhou, the math teacher of Class One, had a good relationship with Mr. Sun. Seeing the flames of anger flickering in his eyes, he quickly pulled him outside: "Mr. Sun, don't be impulsive!"
Teacher Sun tried to break free from his hand, saying, "There's no such logic in the world! If it's the homeroom teacher's turn to choose, then I should be the one to submit the list. How can such a thing be decided beforehand!"
"Old Sun! Think about who filled this out! You go ask them, but you won't get any results! Since the school leaders have made the decision, you should just accept it! Besides, this is a proposal from Chenguang Group to sponsor impoverished students, who are you going to complain to?"
"But……"
"Oh! Don't make any 'buts'! The leader has already made a decision, what can you do? Listen to me, just pretend you don't know anything about it."
Teacher Sun: "..."
He was indignant. Why should Yanling be sponsored? Although he was a teacher and shouldn't speak ill of his students, why should a good-for-nothing student like him, who skipped classes all day, be allowed to take the spot?
This is unfair to the other students! And as a teacher, am I supposed to just swallow my anger when faced with such injustice?
Seeing that he was panting heavily, Teacher Zhou knew that he was angry and could only think of a compromise.
“This time the sponsor is Jiang Xin’s mother. Why don’t you go to her and ask her if she would be willing to sponsor another poor student?”
Teacher Sun's eyes lit up. Yes, he could talk to the sponsor!
There's one student in my class who's from a poor family, and he's got exceptionally good grades. That'll definitely satisfy the bosses!
He immediately changed his strategy and decided to talk to Jiang Xin's mother.
Do you know how to contact Jiang Xin's parents?
Math teacher: "..."
Brother, you think too highly of me. I'm just an ordinary math teacher. Where am I supposed to find connections with people?
Seeing the awkward look on his face, Teacher Sun knew that he probably didn't know. But wasn't Jiang Xin a student in Class 3? The homeroom teacher of Class 3 must have her parents' contact information!
He thanked Teacher Zhou sincerely, and then hurriedly ran to another office to find Teacher Liu.
Teacher Liu looked at Old Sun blankly. He wanted Jiang Xin's parents' contact information? Jiang Xin wasn't even a student in his class. Why would he want to contact her parents?
“Um… Ms. Liu, as you know, I have several students from impoverished families in my class, so I wanted to ask her parents if they could sponsor one more student.”
Teacher Sun adopted a very humble attitude, and his submissive demeanor made Teacher Liu feel sorry for him.
He could have easily pretended to be deaf and dumb, but he still came to beg her for the sake of his students, which is hard not to be moved.
Teacher Liu said to him, "Wait a moment, I'll look for it."
After saying that, she took out a notebook with the contact numbers of the students' parents in her class. She found Shu Yuqing's phone number and asked Teacher Sun to write it down.
She kindly advised him, "It was her decision to sponsor a few people, and it's a good thing. You... you should be careful about your tone when you communicate with the parents."
She had also heard about Mr. Sun's stubbornness and straightforwardness, and was afraid that he might offend Jiang Xin's parents with his words. They were not ordinary parents; if things went wrong, they could make him pack his bags and get out!
Teacher Sun held the phone number as if it were a treasure, nodding repeatedly: "Don't worry, I'm going to ask someone for a favor, and I know how to ask for help."
Shu Yuqing was a little confused when she received Teacher Sun's call. What did he want? Didn't Xin Xin transfer to another class?
After patiently listening to his explanation, she realized that it was because of the quota for students from impoverished families.
After thinking for a moment, Shu Yuqing asked to meet with him and asked him to bring the information of those students.
Ms. Sun readily agreed and went back to her office to print the materials after hanging up the phone.
The other teachers in the office were surprised by the smile on his face. He had just been full of anger, how did he suddenly become so cheerful?
Only Teacher Zhou knew that Old Sun had probably succeeded.
