Chapter 647 Fear
The physical education teacher, realizing the conversation was about Lin Qi, hurriedly explained, "At first, I was very patient with that student, not knowing they were simply too slow to learn no matter how I tried. It was only then that I got a little angry. I would certainly be very patient with others, but at that moment I was a bit tired, and what you saw was indeed me venting my emotions."
"Mr. Shen, I apologize for that, but I promise it won’t happen again. I really need this job and hope that you will keep me on. I will prove with my future actions that I am indeed a good teacher. If you dismiss me now, where will you find another qualified teacher?"
"There are so many irresponsible teachers on the market today. I believe you might not find a good one later and may even be deceived. If you are willing to trust me, please give me one more chance. This will be a win-win outcome for both sides."
As the PE teacher finished her last sentence, her eyes burned with determination, hoping for a resolution. Regardless of whether she would be kept on or not, she deserved an explanation. She hoped Shen Dong wouldn’t be so heartless. If she were really let go, she didn’t know how she would support her family; her husband would certainly scold her.
She berated herself for being so careless as to lose such a good job. The PE teacher trembled, thinking it wasn’t her intention to insult Lin Qi, and just her luck to be caught by the boss. What misfortune.
Unable to fathom what influence Lin Qi had to be so protected by Mr. Shen, the thought of that "damsel" made her even angrier, convinced Lin Qi must have played the victim. The other teachers harbored some resentment too, resolved to give Lin Qi "special attention" upon returning.
Having said her piece, she thought it would be enough to stay, but Shen Dong, once decided, would no longer keep such a person around, replied with finality, "Rest assured, I will find a good teacher. You are no longer needed here; you no longer qualify to compete for this position. You should pack up and head home.
Find another job that suits you; you’re quite good at teaching and should find something easily. I trust in your ability, right?" Shen Dong concluded with a mocking tone before leaving.
The PE teacher tried once more, pleading, "Mr. Shen, please, consider the students are midway through their course. If I leave now and someone new has to start over with them, it wouldn’t be good for them. Let me finish the month.
After that, I’ll collect my salary and leave quietly. Can we do that? I am a responsible teacher and don’t want my lessons to end unfinished, nor do I want them to have to adapt to another teacher."
