Siheyuan: With the system in hand, the world is mine

After a while, Director Zhang returned to the principal's office anxiously, "The principal did say this! He also took away a lot of students' things, and these things were stolen from their homes. Teacher Yan threatened them not to tell their parents." After saying this, Director Zhang didn't dare to breathe.

The principal's face was so angry that Zhang Hong said angrily: "These children are the pillars of the country, how dare he... I remember he applied to be the head teacher last month? At that time, I thought he had enough experience and wanted to let him try, but I didn't expect it to be like this. How dare he apply? Call a meeting of all the teachers in the school immediately."

"Okay... I'll go right away." Seeing the principal so angry, Director Zhang felt very guilty. After all, it was his failure to supervise properly that led to such a black sheep in the teaching staff.

···········

In the spacious and bright conference room of Red Star Primary School, a group of hurried and flustered teachers from all grades suddenly rushed in. Some of them held textbooks tightly in their arms; others looked confused and bewildered, obviously puzzled by this sudden meeting.

One of the teachers couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Yan, do you know what happened? Why did you call us here so urgently? I was in class at the time, and I rushed here as soon as I received the news. I heard that the principal was very angry this time!"

Yan Bugui showed a leisurely and contented expression, and replied slowly: "I don't know much about it, I just received the notice." However, he did not realize that a potential crisis was quietly approaching.

At this time, another teacher came forward and whispered mysteriously: "I heard a piece of gossip, Teacher Yan, you are going to be the head of the grade department soon! This is really a happy event, congratulations to you in advance!" Before he finished speaking, the surrounding teachers rushed forward to express their congratulations, and for a moment the whole conference room was filled with a festive atmosphere.

Yan Bugui quickly waved his hands and pretended to be modest and said: "Oh... This has not been confirmed yet, so please don't spread it." But the smile on his face that was hard to conceal had already exposed his inner joy.

There were footsteps coming from the door. The sound gradually became clearer and closer, reaching the ears of everyone present. They all turned their heads to look at the door, only to see the principal walking in with a big stride, his face full of anger. Seeing this, everyone quickly put away their smiles, sat up straight, and waited for the principal to speak with a serious expression.

The principal walked straight to the main seat, glanced sharply at the teachers present, then slammed a lesson plan heavily on the conference table and shouted, "I received a report today. Do you know what it is about?"

Everyone looked at each other with puzzled expressions on their faces, and no one answered for a while.

"Someone reported that the teachers in our school accepted bribes! And after investigation, the situation is true! I never expected that the country pays you salaries so that you can teach and educate students, not so that you can squeeze and exploit students! This kind of behavior is simply a scum and a disgrace in our teaching team!" The principal became more and more angry and his tone became more and more severe.

His words were like a bombshell, causing an uproar in the crowd. Every teacher began to whisper to each other, speculating which colleague had done such a thing. However, only Yan Bugui had cold sweat on his forehead and his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Teacher Yan, Teacher Yan! Shouldn't you explain it clearly?" As the subject suddenly changed, the principal's face turned ashen in an instant. His pair of sharp eyes like an eagle stared at Yan Bugui, as if he wanted to see through his body to his true thoughts.

When the principal called out Yan Bugui's name, the teachers around him were all shocked and turned their eyes to Yan Bugui. They could never have imagined that Yan Bugui, who seemed to be kind and peaceful on weekdays, would do such a thing. This was simply a blasphemy against the sacred profession of "teacher"!

Then, the teacher who was closest to Yan Bugui felt a wave of bad luck coming, as if Yan Bugui was emitting a disgusting smell. So, he moved his feet without hesitation, quickly moved away from Yan Bugui, and sat down at a farther place. At this moment, everyone was filled with contempt and disdain, and was very angry at Yan Bugui's behavior.

Facing the principal's stern questioning and the strange looks from his colleagues, Yan Bugui finally realized that the mistakes he had made could no longer be covered up. He lowered his head, his face full of shame, and said in a trembling voice: "Principal... I... I know I was wrong, please give me another chance! My family depends on my salary to support them." His tone was filled with deep regret and self-blame, hoping to be forgiven by the principal.

"I give you a chance? Who will give me a chance! If this matter is reported, do you know what the consequences will be? By then, everyone will say that the teachers in our school will only impart knowledge after receiving benefits, otherwise the students can only learn by themselves. In this way, who will be willing to send their children to our school to study? Without students coming to school, all teachers will face the dilemma of unemployment. How can I explain to everyone then!" The principal slammed the table angrily and shouted loudly.

Hearing this, all the teachers stared at Yan Bugui with angry faces. You know, it is so difficult to find a job nowadays, and many teachers rely on this job to support their families. If they lose their jobs, their whole family will starve! Realizing the seriousness of the matter, a teacher suggested: "We must fire him! We must not let this black sheep stay in our school."

"That's right, fire him!" The teachers around echoed in a firm and resolute tone, expressing their approval of the decision. For a moment, the entire conference room was filled with anger and noisy voices.

"Quiet!" The principal's voice suddenly rang out, like a thunderbolt that broke through the chaos. His voice was majestic and solemn, causing everyone to quiet down unconsciously.

The principal went on to say, "Now, I officially announce that Yan Bugui is dismissed from his teaching position, expelled from Red Star Primary School, and this matter will be recorded." These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Yan Bugui's heart hard.

Upon hearing this decision, Yan Bugui was struck by lightning and burst into tears. He cried bitterly and begged desperately, trying to save his job, but it was too late. His cries echoed in the conference room, but no one felt pity.

Helplessly, Yan Bugui could only stand up slowly under the strange eyes of the crowd and walk towards the door with heavy steps. Every step was as painful as stepping on the tip of a knife, and his back looked extremely desolate and lonely.

When he finally walked out of the conference room, the sunshine on him could not warm his broken heart at all. He knew that his teaching career had come to an end at this moment...
