Chapter 357: The Mont You Open the Delivery
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Teacher Ye's tragic experience confird one thing, and that was that the relationship between parents and teachers was far from as simple as it seed. Although they started out the sa in wanting the children to make progress, there were tis when even the teachers had the urge to beco hostile when they ran into unreasonable parents.
Hu Su's mother was very notorious in No. 60 High School. Her son had toiled hard in Grade One's redial class for four years, but still continued to repeat it, and she would make trouble daily. Almost everyone in the school had heard of her, but a few of the younger teachers who had only just been posted here, and had yet to beco completely familiar with the "business," were still in the dark.
Over the years, Headmaster Chen had tried all kinds of ways to have Hu Su withdraw from the school because of the problem with his mother. Hu Su wasn't an interim student, but was officially enrolled in No. 60 High School. Every year, the exams always took into account the total scores of the whole school, and every year, Hu Su's scores would drag the school down.
At this critical juncture when No. 60 High School was on the cusp of being promoted as a key city high school, Headmaster Chen really didn't want anything to go wrong.
However, there was a good saying that it was easy to invite the devil in, but hard to get rid of him...
No. 60 High School had personally enrolled this student Hu Su. Although his parents were sowhat unreasonable, his living and study habits weren't bad, and he was an obedient and sensible person who often helped the teachers and his classmates... It was just that his scores couldn't improve no matter what! Actually, urging an official student to withdraw from school purely on the basis of their poor scores wasn't reasonable. Furthermore, if word of this got out, the school might be accused of "improper education."
As a result, all the various ploys that circled around in Headmaster Chen's mind were thus scattered.
The most painful part of the whole matter was that upon careful consideration, Hu Su's mother's words were actually quite reasonable... Once my child entered the school, he beca an official student of your No. 60 High School, even if he's just in the redial class. His living and study habits and his character are all very good, but his scores haven't improved at all. It's been a full four years, there hasn't been any progress at all... if it's not the school's fault, then whose fault is it?
This made Headmaster Chen feel indescribably miserable.
In the breakroom, Teacher Pan and the other old teachers took this opportunity to tell the new teachers all the stories about Hu Su and his mother; this bunch of younger teachers started to have deep misgivings about their jobs, when they had previously been looking forward to a career in education.
It turned out that nowadays, it wasn't just doctors who could no longer save people...
Neither could teachers...
While they were chatting, Teacher Pan abruptly realized that Old Antique had disappeared. "Eh? Where's Old Wang?"
One teacher replied, "It looks like the headmaster ca looking for him just now. Old Wang also teaches the redial class history; I heard that he's an old hand at comforting Hu Su's mother."
Anyone who entered the workforce would feel that working wasn't easy – this was true of any profession. Apart from settling down and getting on with life, you also had to learn how to speak well and be on guard against people who could make things difficult for you.
In this world, you had to learn to compromise.
In the current era of national cultivation, many cultivators carried on with the sa line of cultivation work, like Immortal Toya performing alchemy, and Fatty Luo running his talware store and doing smithwork. The work was extrely complex, but also extrely lucrative. Most crucially, this was work which didn't depend on playing nice with other people.
After persuading Hu Su's mother to leave, Old Antique leaned his fat body against a wall and pondered for a very long ti... Actually, his reasons for deciding to beco a teacher were very complicated.
If he had to na one, it was because he thought that it was a very honorable profession.
After he finished chewing a latiao in the hospital toilets, Old Antique felt much calr. He then looked at the ti and frowned a little... He had made an online purchase earlier, and the electronic receipt had indicated that it would be arriving in twenty minutes.
Now that it was almost ti, he was wondering whether he should go to the hospital's main entrance to receive the delivery, but just as he lifted his foot to step outside, there was a voice from the toilet cubicle next to him. "Excuse , are you Mr Wang?"
"..."
Old Antique was stunned.
"...Yes, that's ."
After he said that, Old Antique opened the toilet door, then saw a man dressed in diving gear crawl out of the squat toilet...
Dripping wet, the man then bowed respectfully to Old Antique. "Shun Feng God Express! Mission accomplished guarantee!"
Old Antique was still in a state of shock. "...How did you get in?"
He had long heard that this Shun Feng God Express company currently had the most efficient express delivery team in the country; if you had goods that needed to be delivered ASAP within the sa city, they would reach the custor under twenty minutes as long as the goods were marked 'urgent'! However, this was the first ti that Old Antique was experiencing it for himself, and it was truly broadening his horizon.
How had this courier gotten in, when outside was being so heavily guarded by the police? This was the magic question.
The courier was panting. "There are too many police officers outside; sending this package was really not easy. After I took on this delivery, I drew a blueprint to figure out sir's coordinates, then I dug a tunnel from a park three hundred li away; using the bone-shortening technique, I entered the city's sewer system. Finally, after verifying your location, I found sir here. Mm, Mr Wang, after you've received the delivery, please be sure to give a five-star comnt!"
Old Antique: "..."
While he was speaking, the courier took out a square box from his storage space. "Your delivery, sir."
Old Antique: "...It's not broken, is it?"
The courier: "The box is waterproof, so it's not a problem. But whether the item inside is intact or not... it's hard to say."
Old Antique: "I added insurance..."
"Oh, of course. If the item is broken, we'll definitely refund you. But I don't in fact know whether the item inside the box is broken or not – it might be fine, it might not." The courier analyzed the situation seriously. "According to the theory of quantum chanics, there is a possibility it could be broken and intact at the sa ti."
Old Antique: "..."
The courier: "It's only the mont when you open the box that these two possibilities will converge into one! This is that very famous theory called Schrödinger's cat."
Hearing this, Old Antique almost fell to his knees. "I'm sorry, big brother, I'm wasting your ti..."
The courier nodded, unperturbed, and took out a grading device. "It's our job to answer any queries the custors might have. Will sir please evaluate my service? If there are any problems with the delivery, please tap on the feedback button at the bottom of the electronic receipt on the app, and we'll get soone to follow up on it!"
The corners of Old Antique's mouth twitched, and he pressed the "Five Stars" button with shaking hands... were couriers nowadays all this aweso?
