Morning.
It was past 7 am.
They had been working for more than an hour.
Outside the United Nations University Auditorium, Sun Ruhua, Zhao Meng, and Le Haidong were drinking water and chatting as they spread the tablecloth on the floor.
"How many leaders are coming today?"
"I heard there are quite a lot of them."
"That's right. Many leaders graduated from our United Nations University."
"Teacher Jiang said the leaders from our City's Ministry of Education will be coming."
"Oh, are we going to welcome them later?"
"Of course. But the leaders will not be here early. It's just past 7 am."
"That's right. The leaders must be the last to arrive. If not, they will look bad if they arrive early."
The few of them chatted casually. In the end, seeing that there was nothing else to do, they simply found chairs and sat down. Dong Xuebing walked out of the auditorium and moved the last few chairs out. After that, he was panting. It was tiring to carry so many things. Teacher Jiang and a few students carried some decorative flowers over and placed them on the table. After that, there was nothing left to do.
Jiang Min smiled and looked at them. "Are you all tired?"
Le Haidong laughed and said, "Teacher Jiang, we are not tired. Actually, Xuebing is the one who has been busy. My arm is not feeling well these few days. Zhao Meng is also sick, and Ruhua is a girl. I'm sorry, but we did not help much."
Jiang Min replied. "It's fine. I am glad you all are here."
Zhao Meng laughed. "We will surely come if you call us."
Jiang Min took out a napkin and passed it to Dong Xuebing. "Wipe your sweat. You look tired."
Dong Xuebing took the napkin and wiped it on his forehead. "Haha, it's nothing."
"Xuebing, thank you for your hard work." Le Haidong looked at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing smiled. Le Haidong's tone sounded like a leader. It was as if Sun Ruhua and Zhao Meng were his classmates, and Dong Xuebing was his subordinate. Sun Ruhua and Sun Ruhua did not think much of it. Perhaps they thought it was only natural, but Teacher Jiang glanced at Le Haidong.
"The banner fell!"
"I can't reach it with my hands."
"Is there a male student who can help?"
A few female students shouted at the entrance of the auditorium.
Jiang Min saw the banner and went up to ask about it. Dong Xuebing also followed her and climbed up to help them fix the banner.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"Student, which faculty are you from?"
"It's been three years since I graduated, hehe."
Dong Xuebing said as he climbed down the ladder.
Jiang Min immediately went up to help him up. "If I had known, I wouldn't have called you. It's all my fault. You're the only one who's busy." Teacher Jiang looked at Le Haidong and the rest from the corner of his eyes. He should not say anything and could only shake his head.
Dong Xuebing does not mind and laughed. "Why should I blame you? I am not here to watch the show. I am here to help you."
Jiang Min said, "I thought you guys should have a good relationship since you're in the same class, so I wanted you guys to interact more."
"Don't you know me in the past? I don't even talk to my classmates. Other than Yao Cui, I don't have any friends. "
"Quite magnanimous?"
"Haha, it's training."
"This is a good thing. It means you have matured."
Dong Xuebing laughed and did not reply. He had matured, but he was still the same Dong Xuebing. Even if he had matured, there was a limit. He was not angry because he was magnanimous. It was because Dong Xuebing does not care about the three of them. He is someone who does what he wants and does not care about others. The only person who can make Dong Xuebing care about him is Teacher Jiang.
"What other tasks are there?" Dong Xuebing asked.
Teacher Jiang looked around. "It's almost done. There's nothing else." She looked at her watch. "It's still early for the anniversary. Go and rest in the auditorium."
Dong Xuebing asked. "What about you?"
"I will go outside. I still need to greet the leaders later."
"Ok. I will not be joining in the greeting. Just call me if you need anything."
"Ok. Go and have a rest. Don't go back in the afternoon. I will treat you all to lunch."
After that, Teacher Jiang left. Dong Xuebing looked at Le Haidong and the rest. They were chatting happily and did not look at Dong Xuebing. So, Dong Xuebing did not follow them. He lit a cigarette and walked into the auditorium. He showed his pass at the entrance and entered. There was a rehearsal on the stage, and it was a dance performance. A few university students were dancing to the accompaniment of music. All of them were pretty girls, and Dong Xuebing was attracted to them. He sat at the last row of the auditorium and admired their dance.
The next performance was a crosstalk.
The next performance was a group singing.
It was a pity that everyone just went through the procedures and didn't finish the show. Then, the next show had to be rehearsed. Time was tight.
"Eh, come over for a while."
"I am calling you. The one in the sports attire."
A balding middle-aged man called out to Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing looked over and saw the balding man looking at him. He asked. "Are you calling me?"
A student shouted at the balding man. "Principal Wang, we are still lacking a few people. The equipment is too heavy."
"I know." Principal Wang waved at Dong Xuebing. "Stop watching the rehearsal. Come over and help."
Dong Xuebing nodded and ignored the balding man. He continued to watch the rehearsal.
Principal Wang saw Dong Xuebing and shouted angrily. "I am calling you. Didn't you hear me? Everyone else is busy, and you are the only one slacking off?! Hurry up and come over! "
Dong Xuebing knew that Principal Wang was a Deputy Principal of the United University. This person had the same position when he was still in school. From the way he was directing the students, he should not be promoted in the past three years. Dong Xuebing did not interact much with this Deputy Principal and only saw him speaking at school meetings. He heard that he has a bad temper and has a bad reputation. Dong Xuebing did not have a bad impression of him, but he did not have a good impression either. Dong Xuebing ignored the Deputy Principal when he heard him shouting at him.
Principal Wang felt embarrassed as he could not even order a student around. He pointed at Dong Xuebing coldly. "Which faculty are you from?"
Dong Xuebing still did not say a word.
Many students looked at Dong Xuebing in surprise.
Someone shouted. "Principal Wang, we had found the people. They are all moved!"
Principal Wang looked at Dong Xuebing one last time and went backstage.
Dong Xuebing shook his head in his heart. You still want me to help you all move your things? Do you really think this bro is a porter? Dong Xuebing only cares about Teacher Jiang. If Teacher Jiang asked him to help, he will do whatever he wants. But Principal Wang? Who are you? Do we even know each other? I am here to help Teacher Jiang and attend the school anniversary. I am not here for you to order me around!
The group of students walked down the stage.
One of the boys blinked at Dong Xuebing and whispered. "Brother, that is Principal Wang."
"I know." Dong Xuebing laughed. "I had graduated three years ago. Do I still need to listen to him?"
Among the dozens of men and women, someone immediately laughed. "So it's a senior. Then it's fine. Principal Wang doesn't have any other characteristics, but he likes to order people around."
A girl added. "That's right. Before our rehearsal today, he even asked us to hang a banner."
The group of students sat at the back of the hall. "Senior, which faculty are you from?"
"Computer Science." Dong Xuebing replied.
Someone asked. "We are also from Computer Science."
Someone asked. "Who is your previous form teacher?"
"Jiang Min, who teaches Advanced Mathematics." Dong Xuebing replied.
A boy laughed. "What a coincidence. Our class is taught by Teacher Jiang now."
Dong Xuebing was surprised. So, they are Teacher Jiang's students. He smiled and said. "Oh, I see. You all are so lucky."
"That's right. Teacher Jiang is the best."
"That's right. She often cooks for us. Hahaha. But the cooking pot in the staff's office is too small. It can only fit 5 to 6 people. We have to fight for food every time."
"But Teacher Jiang is scary when she is angry."
"Haha, Dong 'zi, who asked you to make Teacher Jiang angry?"
Dong Xuebing chatted with the rest of the students. They were all his juniors, and he felt close to them.
Half an hour …
One hour …
The rehearsal stopped.
Dong Xuebing looked at his watch. It was 9 pm.
Teacher Jiang's students had already left, and Dong Xuebing guessed that it was time for everyone to enter the lecture hall. The leaders who had arrived early should be arriving soon, and it was not appropriate for him to continue sitting there. He stood up and straightened his clothes. He saw a few school staff clearing the lecture hall, and Dong Xuebing followed a few staff and students from the Student Union out. Outside, Dong Xuebing did not know where Le Haidong and the other two students went. Maybe they had arrived at the school gates with Teacher Jiang. Dong Xuebing did not see them, and he took out a cigarette.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the school gates.
Dong Xuebing looked over, but it was too far away. He could not see anything.
But after a while, he heard people talking beside him. It seems like someone had received a call.
"Something happened at the entrance!"
"Huh? What happened? "
"A teacher was hit by a leader's car and fell."
"Is it serious?"
"I don't know. Xiao Liang is at the entrance. He said that the teacher fell and is still unconscious."
"Let's go and take a look. What leader? He doesn't even know how to drive!"
"Which teacher is it? Don't tell me it's our faculty? "
"No. I think it's the computer science faculty's Advanced Mathematics teacher. I can't remember her name, but people call her Teacher Jiang."
What?
Teacher Jiang was hit by a car?
