Chapter 668: 068 Two little people_4 Chapter 668: 068 Two little people_4 Everyone was busy, and Lin Yuan was no exception.
The school was almost ready to open; now all that was left was to find a teacher.
She had thought that ng Liangdong would be just as thrilled as she was upon hearing the good news.
Instead, his reaction was shockingly calm, or it could perhaps be described as indifferent.
“Mr.
ng,” Lin Yuan was sowhat unable to grasp his thoughts, “are you not happy?” She clearly rembered that ng Liangdong had been so determined to teach at Zhuma Town School that he had even sold his family’s shop.
Could it be that the injustices he faced at the school made him give up his original dream?
As ng Liangdong listened to Lin Yuan, his fingers deftly navigated the abacus beads.
After more than two months of hard work, his skills had improved significantly, thanks, of course, to Mo Sanniang’s ticulous teaching.
Hearing Lin Yuan’s question, ng Liangdong’s fingers paused, and he slowly raised his head, his expression indifferent as he slightly curved his lips, “Happy, I am happy for the Boss, and I congratulate the Boss on achieving her desire.”
Lin Yuan was frustrated—what did he an by her wish being fulfilled?
Had he not heard a word she said?
Seeing ng Liangdong lower his head to the abacus again, Lin Yuan frowned, reaching out to jumble up the beads in frustration and pressing urgently, “ng Liangdong!
Why are you congratulating ?
Stop playing with that abacus.
Didn’t you hear what I just said to you?”
Lin Yuan’s shout was loud enough to be heard by everyone in the front hall.
Liuzi and the others looked at one another, wondering why the Boss had started off angry with ng Liangdong.
Fortunately, since it had just snowed, there were almost no custors in the shop, or else the Boss’s fierce deanor would have scared them from ever returning.
With the abacus interrupted, ng Liangdong’s thoughts were also scrambled.
He continued gazing down at the abacus, and it took him a long ti to mutter, “I heard.”
“If you heard, then why don’t you answer ?
I want to ask you to be the teacher at the school, to teach those children how to read and write.
They don’t need to accomplish anything great or beco top scholars—just knowing a few characters and understanding the principles of being human is enough,” Lin Yuan did not let ng Liangdong avoid any slight movent, “Are you willing to be a teacher?
Willing to teach them?”
ng Liangdong made no response.
“ng Liangdong?
Mr.
ng!
Are you willing or not?” Lin Yuan asked again, unable to restrain herself.
However, as soon as she asked, she already had her answer.
Had it not been for his experiences at Zhuma Town School, he might have agreed without hesitation.
But now, it seed unlikely.
Indeed, Lin Yuan had guessed right.
ng Liangdong slowly raised his head, stood up from his chair, and with hands clasped in front of him, he bowed to her, his tone unwavering, “Miss Lin, I must thank you for caring about the children from the south of the city and for providing them with a place to study in peace.
I must also thank Miss Lin for your appreciation and trust in .
However, I am no longer the ng Liangdong of the past, and my original aspirations are long gone.
Not to ntion teaching the children, I don’t even wish to pick up The Sage Book anymore.
I hope you will forgive .”
After speaking, ng Liangdong bowed deeply again and then quietly sat back in his chair.
He shook the abacus and started to recalculate the accounts.
Lin Yuan was angered by ng Liangdong’s stubbornness.
It seed she had underestimated the impact that the incidents at Zhuma Town School had on him.
