The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 215 - 214: Career Life

In the end, Wang Miaomiao took her textbook and left the office first.

She realized that the workplace environment might not be as calm as it seemed. However, wherever there are people, there are disputes and gossip.

In this society, these things are unavoidable.

It’s just that she doesn’t want to suffer from those unwarranted troubles. She initially thought about being proactive and getting along well with the people in the office, but thinking about it now, it’s best to forget it. The waters are too deep; better not get caught in them. It’s better to stay away from those two people.

Wang Miaomiao took her textbook to the school’s reading room and started meticulously preparing her lessons. She loved her work and was dedicated to it, although she had previous experience tutoring Cheng Xue and the others.

But tutoring is still different from formally teaching; as a qualified teacher, she needs to continue working hard.

During her first class, she was pretty nervous, especially with Principal Jiang, Director Qiao, and a few teachers sitting at the back to observe.

Wang Miaomiao secretly felt relieved that she had thoroughly prepared her lessons the previous day; otherwise, she would have been even more nervous today.

"Hello, students. My surname is Wang, and I will be your history teacher from now on..." Wang Miaomiao first introduced herself and then started the class calmly and steadily, "Please open your textbooks..."

Wang Miaomiao’s lecture didn’t resemble those of some other teachers who simply read through the textbook, highlight key points, and then have students memorize them after class, followed by checks in the next session, and that’s it.

She organized the Chapter content into several small storylines, integrating knowledge points to capture the students’ interest. Using charts and frameworks, she distilled the knowledge to help students remember better.

Anyway, after the class, the students were deeply engaged, and even Principal Jiang and the others were very satisfied.

Principal Jiang initially thought they’d be taking in trouble at the school, but unexpectedly found a treasure. He’s now somewhat regretting having her teach only auxiliary subjects.

However, he had promised Brother Jiang that Jiang Yan’s injuries still require healing, so he can’t go back on his promise right at the start... Next semester, next semester must undergo some adjustments.

Wang Miaomiao had no idea that after one class she had won over the principal in teaching. Even if she knew, she would only be happy. Who wouldn’t want their abilities to be recognized?

Wang Miaomiao navigated through the first-year students’ class effortlessly, receiving unanimous praise.

Logically, she taught the entire grade’s history without any competitive pressure, so she shouldn’t be marginalized.

But precisely because her performance was outstanding, towards the end of the term, there was a competition for the selection of excellent teachers, which affected some people’s interests, making some uneasy.

Wang Miaomiao was stunned when she heard Principal Jiang’s words, and upon seeing the letter of accusation, she thought it was utterly absurd.

She read the anonymous letter word for word and incredulously exclaimed, "This person is crazy, making false accusations, treating it like a joke?"

Wang Miaomiao handed the letter back to Principal Jiang, trying to recall who she might have offended recently.

"Sister-in-law, even though I believe you, I still need you to clarify things; otherwise, it makes my job challenging." Since Principal Jiang and Jiang Yan started calling each other brothers that time, their relationship has not broken off and has genuinely improved.

He called Wang Miaomiao over today to hear her explanation, naturally, if there really were any issues, he would help settle them. Actually, it itself isn’t a big deal.

Wang Miaomiao had nothing to hide and said, "Those two properties are indeed mine but the businesses aren’t mine; I’ve just rented out the houses. What’s wrong with that?"

"Of course, there’s nothing wrong. Since that’s the case, then the accusations in the letter about you neglecting your duties are baseless claims; we don’t need to pay attention to it." Principal Jiang nodded, also wondering who Wang Miaomiao had offended.

"We don’t need to pay attention, just like that? Won’t we find out who spread the rumors?" Even though she said it, she knew that even if there were suspects, getting evidence wouldn’t be easy. Plus, for such a minor issue, it would be troublesome, and it was uncertain whether Principal Jiang would be willing.

For this reason, Wang Miaomiao furrowed her brows a little and said dissatisfiedly, "What time is it now? The country is encouraging individual businesses and economic development. Even if those two stores were opened by me, so what? How does it affect my teaching at school? I work my eight hours, ensuring my students’ academic quality, why should my off-hours be supervised... It’s too broad-reaching, what, does he own the Pacific Ocean..."

Principal Jiang couldn’t help but twitch his lips slightly at Wang Miaomiao’s somewhat naïve complaining and comforted her, "Alright, don’t be angry. I called you over today to just understand the situation, as you said, it’s just people stirring up trouble; we don’t need to pay attention to it."

Wang Miaomiao couldn’t help but complain. Hearing his words, she also understood Principal Jiang’s stance; surely he also felt it unnecessary to make a fuss, so she couldn’t say much more and just said, "I understand... I guess it’s still the excellent teacher selection causing trouble. Principal, you must act impartially. Actually, I’ve only been here a few months, and I don’t meet the selection criteria, right? Whoever is targeting me is really clueless."

"Indeed," Principal Jiang couldn’t help but nod in agreement. Actually, he didn’t plan to select Wang Miaomiao as an excellent teacher, given her limited experience and the fact she teaches auxiliary subjects, it doesn’t highlight her professional level.

"Principal, you can’t let those ill-intentioned people get that spot. It’s truly disgusting..."

Principal Jiang nodded, indicating agreement. Actually, he had some idea of who was responsible, so indeed, he should act impartially to satisfy people.

After leaving the principal’s office, Wang Miaomiao kept pondering who was causing trouble while returning to the office.

"Teacher Wang, back already? Did the principal call you for something good?" Wu Qiao asked curiously, watching her, of course harboring his little thoughts.

Wang Miaomiao had been employed for over three months; now it was already winter month, soon facing the final exams.

During these few months, she had come to understand the people in this office.

Wu Qiao was very sociable, exceptionally friendly to people, even though her attitude towards him was consistently flat at the beginning, it never dampened his enthusiasm.

Of course, although he was very enthusiastic, he was also tactful, not the type to cling stubbornly nor did he have ambiguous intentions. He had a kind of straightforwardness, how to say, a kind of frank and direct flattering, buttering up vibe.

So, after spending time together, Wang Miaomiao, who initially didn’t intend to engage with him, ended up feeling his character wasn’t bad; while not worth befriending, he was one of the people she could converse with in this office.

However, the person who was the most unfriendly to her in this office was Li Wen. Perhaps from the first day, she intended to target her, every time she greeted or spoke a word with Wu Qiao, Li Wen would look displeased.
