Chapter 4: You can't bully me, I've just been bullied!

"Complimenting you for looking like Chow Yun-fat, how is that an insult?"

"Do I not know what I look like?" Zheng Jing felt this guy was insulting his intelligence. He always liked to treat others as if they were fools.

Am I an idiot?

A joke, I just look very delicious.

"------" Fang Yan felt this guy was quite straightforward.

"Director Zheng, you can lack confidence in yourself, but you can't erase the great and glorious image you have in others' hearts." Fang Yan said with a serious face, "The charm of a mature man, the charm of a successful man. This kind of charm is not comparable to someone like me who just has a good face."

"Really?" Hearing Fang Yan's words, Zheng Jing couldn't help but puff out his plump belly. As the deputy director of the office, most of the time, he also felt quite charming. Didn't the new clerks often like to joke and flirt with him?

"Exactly." Fang Yan nodded with great certainty. "My life goal is Director Zheng. I don't know when I can become a role model for successful men like Director Zheng. I'm afraid I won't have the chance in this lifetime, right?"

"Actually------ you're not bad." Zheng Jing developed a slight liking for Fang Yan. "But this is a school. As a teacher in the school, you should pay attention to your influence and image when speaking and acting. Think about it, whose office did you go to today? That's Principal Lu's office. You cut her flowers without her permission------"

"Oh my goodness, do you know how much Principal Lu loves her flowers and plants? She doesn't even allow the aunties to clean her office, she personally takes care of those little treasures. You went in and just snipped away------ it's lucky that Principal Lu didn't snip you. By the way, why didn't Principal Lu snip you?"

"Maybe because------ Principal Lu thought I did a good job." Fang Yan said modestly.

"Impossible." Zheng Jing flatly denied Fang Yan's conclusion. "Principal Lu's standards are famous for being picky. How could an ordinary person meet her standards? I think it's because you're new and don't know the rules, and as a leader, Principal Lu should be considerate of new employees, right? But, one mistake is enough, you can't make the same mistake again."

"Definitely not." Fang Yan quickly promised. "That------ Director Zheng, I feel like you have a bit of hostility towards me? I just came, I don't know the rules, did I do something to upset you?"

Zheng Jing gave Fang Yan a cold glance and said, "Do you know who Principal Lu is?"

"The vice-principal of Zhuque Middle School."

"Anything else?"

"Don't know."

"Don't know, then you don't need to know." Zheng Jing's tone became a bit sharp, and he said with a cold laugh, "But, you should respect Principal Lu, don't be frivolous, and don't think a toad can eat swan meat. Otherwise, heh heh------"

"Do you have a crush on her?" Fang Yan asked softly.

Zheng Jing was shocked, scanning around to make sure no one had heard their conversation before he relaxed and said angrily, "Fang Yan, don't talk nonsense. How could I like Principal Lu?"

"Then someone else likes her?"

"These things are not for you to know. Remember my words, stay away from Principal Lu, don't be like those other arrogant guys------ otherwise, you'll only have yourself to blame."

"Director Zheng." Fang Yan held Zheng Jing's fat hand and said, "Do you think I'm a match for Principal Lu?"

"Of course not." Zheng Jing said firmly. The only one who could match Principal Lu was that legendary figure.

He is the flying dragon of the nine heavens, and you, at most, are a little mudskipper in the pond.

"Then what are you worried about?" Fang Yan said with a smile. "I don't have any obvious flaws, but I have many strengths. One of them is self-awareness. I just want to flatter Principal Lu, hoping she will take care of me in the future------ as for other things, I haven't even thought about them, and I wouldn't dare to. A poor teacher trying to date the vice-principal of the school, isn't that just asking for trouble?"

"You have a point." Zheng Jing nodded. "Let's go, I'll take you to complete the procedures, then I'll take you to Class 9 to meet your students. Class 9, that's not a place that will make your life easy. Work hard, or you won't pass the probationary period and will be kicked out. Zhuque Middle School isn't a place where just anyone can become a teacher."

"Of course. Cats and dogs can't be teachers, they can just catch mice and guard the gate." Fang Yan agreed.

Zheng Jing walked a few steps, turned around, and stared at Fang Yan, saying, "Why do I feel like you're insulting me again?"

"Director Zheng, you're wrong------ you're my beacon, my idol, how could I insult you?"

The school uniform of Zhuque Middle School is very beautiful.

The girls wear white shirts and red and black plaid skirts. A few girls wear pretty knee-high socks, while more girls show off their smooth, beautiful legs.

The boys wear white shirts with black zip-tie neckties, black pants, and white sneakers, looking both fashionable and casual. In autumn and winter, they wear a dark blue blazer over their outfits.

Fang Yan stood on the podium, looking at the students below, who also looked at him with strange expressions.

"Another new student? He looks a bit old." A voice whispered.

"But he's quite handsome."

"Wow, he's smiling. He looks so good when he smiles------ he's my type."

---

Zheng Jing cleared his throat, silencing the whispers below, and said, "Classmates, let me introduce you to the new teacher, Mr. Fang Yan. Mr. Fang Yan will be responsible for your Chinese class in Class 9."

Boom------

The whole class was in an uproar!

"He's a teacher? Are you kidding?"

"I thought he was a student. How can someone so young be our teacher? Has the school given up on Class 9?"

"Wow, great, my wish has come true. I was praying for a young and handsome Chinese teacher last night------"

---

"Quiet. Quiet." Zheng Jing slapped the podium. Introducing new teachers was usually the job of the head of the teaching department, but because he and Fang Yan had a 'click,' he personally brought him over. He didn't expect the students to give him no face and question the new teacher in public, making him feel embarrassed. "I'm telling you, don't look at Mr. Fang Yan's young age, but he is a very capable teacher. What kind of capabilities he has------ you will gradually understand as you interact with him."

"The school hasn't given up on you. Not only has the school not given up on you, but it also values you very much------ that's why we specially invited Mr. Fang Yan to be your Chinese teacher. I hope you all will work hard and achieve better results under Mr. Fang Yan's leadership. Tsinghua University is waving at you, and a bright future is saying hello to you."

Worried that the students might ask more strange questions, Zheng Jing decided to leave quickly.

He turned to look at Fang Yan and said, "Mr. Fang Yan, I'll leave this to you. Get to know the students and communicate well. I believe they will accept and like you."

"Thank you, Director Zheng." Fang Yan said gratefully.

After seeing Zheng Jing out, when Fang Yan returned to the classroom, he met the scrutinizing eyes of dozens of students.

Fang Yan wanted to sing.

Our school is a garden, the flowers in the garden are so bright

Big sister, come quickly, little sister, don't hide

Hand in hand, we sing a song, our life is so delightful

Wahaha, wahaha

Our life is so delightful

It must be said, with Fang Yan's sharp eyes, he had already noticed a few very beautiful girls in the class. This made him even more passionate and hopeful about his future career.

"Really a teacher? He doesn't look like one."

"Trouble, the school has really given up on us. I need to call my dad to transfer me to another class. No, another school."

"Hey, Fang Yan, are you the monkey sent by Guanyin? Are you here to play with us?"

---

Mocking and questioning voices never stopped, no one believed that Fang Yan would be a qualified teacher.

"You can't bully me." Fang Yan felt infinitely wronged. He looked at the students below and said, "I've just been bullied."
