Chapter 141 The teachers are too polite
"Oh my god, I still can't believe it!"
"That was really County Magistrate Li Chenggang just now. Did he really promise to help us solve the problem?"
After walking out of the Letters and Calls Bureau, Xia Shulan still felt like she was in a dream and couldn't believe that this was real.
Lu An reached out and pinched Xia Shulan's pretty face.
"Ouch! What are you doing?"
The woman groaned and glared at Lu An.
Mmm! Very smooth, the sound is very enchanting!
Lu An put on a very serious and righteous expression: "Look, the pain proves that I'm not dreaming."
Xia Shulan was skeptical, but Lu An looked extremely serious.
I definitely didn't mean to take advantage of you!
Xia Shulan frowned and asked another question: "Do you have any status? He is the county magistrate Li Chenggang. No matter how good he is at talking to us, he can't be so polite to us."
Xia Shulan was obviously confused by the series of events that had just happened. Now that she came back to her senses, she realized something was wrong.
Fortunately, Lu An was prepared. He spread his hands and said, "What do you think my identity is? A special commissioner of the Central Government, or the son of a high-ranking official?"
The experienced Lu An knew very well that there was no way to explain this clearly, and the best way was to tell half the truth and half the lies, and say it in a joking way.
As expected, Xia Shulan rolled her eyes after hearing this: "Come on, Teacher Zeng has revealed your true colors just now!"
But then Xia Shulan suddenly became alert and quickly apologized, saying that she had no intention of making fun of Lu An.
Xia Shulan patted her head. She didn't understand how he could make such a joke when she and Lu An didn't seem to be that familiar with each other.
Lu An smiled and said it was okay and he didn't care. He then reminded Xia Shulan to tell Teacher Zeng and Teacher Dong the good news first.
Xia Shulan nodded repeatedly: "That's right, we must tell them right away! Let them laugh at us, and make them drop their jaws!"
Xia Shulan's tone was full of the feeling of "Don't bully the poor young man, things will change over time".
I didn't expect that she was such a competitive girl.
Lu An followed Xia Shulan back to Pingjiang Middle School. Xia Shulan found out that Teacher Dong and Teacher Zeng had gone to Pingcheng Hotel.
So Lu An left the school with Xia Shulan without having the time to tour the school and reminisce about his youthful years.
"Teacher Dong and the others must have found some connections to treat us to a meal."
"A few teachers don't have much money to begin with, and now they have to treat officials to a meal. Pingcheng Hotel is the best restaurant in the county. A meal can easily cost hundreds or even thousands of yuan!"
Xia Shulan was worried. On the one hand, she was angry that these old-fashioned people did not trust her and Lu An. On the other hand, she felt sorry for the meager salaries these old teachers had.
Those officials are all hungry wolves. They will definitely not help you with your work unless they bite a bloody piece of flesh off your body.
Pingjiang County, which had not yet experienced the large-scale development of later generations, was not very big, and Lu An and Xia Shulan soon arrived at Pingcheng Hotel.
However, Xia Shulan was stunned when she entered the hotel lobby.
It’s not that Teacher Xia was stunned by the magnificence of the place, but she just found that the place was too big. She didn’t know which box Teacher Dong and the others were in. Such an important matter definitely couldn’t be held in the hall.
So you're worried about this?
Lu An patted his chest and wrapped it around himself.
Then Lu An found the lobby manager and asked about the private rooms for the school teachers.
Teacher Dong is an old teacher at Pingjiang Middle School after all, so the lobby manager immediately remembered him and volunteered: "I'll take you there."
Lu An waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary, but the lobby manager still sent a waiter to lead Lu An.
"As expected of Pingcheng Hotel, the service is so good! The manager just now was so enthusiastic, no wonder their hotel business is so good." Xia Shulan sighed in a low voice.
"The customer is God!" Lu An said casually.
Lu An understood why the lobby manager was so respectful just now. He was probably thinking that it was because he still remembered that the county party committee leaders had hosted a banquet for him here and that he was also a leader.
Plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, this is the box chosen by the teachers, which is also in line with the teachers' scholarly temperament.
The waiter knocked on the door of the box and said, "Your guests are here!"
Then the door of the box opened, and a group of teachers bowed to the door and said in unison: "Welcome, leader!"
Lu An and Xia Shulan were stunned on the spot.
Wow, teachers are so polite. They give us such a great gift!
Of course, Lu An and Xia Shulan both knew that the teachers were definitely not greeting them, but the leaders they had invited to help. However, this was precisely the reason that made them even more embarrassed.
Lu An and Xia Shulan looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
After a while, Lu An spoke carefully: "Teacher, it's me, Lu An, and Teacher Xia."
The teachers looked up one by one when they heard the voice.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became quite awkward...
The homeroom teacher, Mr. Zeng, was the first to jump out: "Lu An, why are you making trouble here? Don't you know that the teachers have important things to do here?"
Teacher Dong directed his criticism at Xia Shulan: "Teacher Xia, you are not a child anymore. How can you act so recklessly? How can someone like you teach a class well and lead students well? How can you become a qualified teacher?"
Led by Teacher Zeng and Teacher Dong, other teachers also started to complain and criticize, criticizing Lu An and Xia Shulan for being ignorant, fooling around here, and even taking advantage of the teachers, which was really outrageous.
Lu An was unhappy. Although it was wrong for him to take advantage of the teacher, who could have known that this would happen?
"Teacher, this can't be entirely blamed on us, right? Teacher Xia and I didn't do it on purpose." Lu An said.
Seeing that Lu An dared to defend himself, the teachers became even angrier, and scolded Lu An for being disrespectful and daring to talk back to the teachers.
There were even teachers who took their anger out on Zeng Lilian, asking how could Teacher Zeng bring up such a student.
Teacher Zeng's face turned pale: "Lu An, I used to think you were a good student and that you would achieve great things after you passed the college entrance examination. I didn't expect that after a few years of studying, you became more and more ignorant. You just listened to the teacher's criticism, but how dare you talk back to the teacher? Is this how I taught you before? Your current performance really disappoints the teacher!"
Just as Lu An was about to explain, the most experienced teacher, Dong, waved his hand and said, "Alright, Mr. Zeng, send this disrespectful person away immediately. We still have to welcome the leaders of the Education Bureau later!"
Zeng Lilian lowered her head and walked forward, pushing Lu An and Xia Shulan out without saying anything.
"The teachers won't bother with you about what happened today. Learn how to behave and do things in the future. Go away!"
Lu An laughed. He didn't expect that all teachers were like this.
Xia Shulan was unconvinced and said, "Teacher Zeng, we still have something to talk about. Can you just listen to us first? You don't need to invite any leaders..."
But Zeng Lilian didn't care about them at all. She just knew that Lu An, her student, had embarrassed her today, and she just wanted to push them away as soon as possible.
But just as I reached the door, I bumped into another person outside...
