Chapter 421: Serving as Principal
The next morning, soft sunlight quietly fell into the bedroom of Jinyang Villa through the cracks in the window. Mu Xiaoji sat quietly on the sofa, playing with his mobile phone in his hand, thinking about something with his eyes wandering.
After a while, the phone in his hand stopped spinning; after a moment's thought, he unlocked the phone and searched for Lin Yue's number in the address book with his slender fingers. When Lin Yue's number appeared in front of him, he immediately pressed the dial button.
At this moment, Lin Yue was sitting on her balcony with a comfortable look on her face. The warm sunshine poured on her unreservedly, covering her whole body in golden color.
She spread out a painting in her hands. It was the first painting Jiang Shuo forgot to bring. Lin Yue's eyes were fixed on the painting, full of amazement and admiration, and she kept talking to herself:
"Is this really painted by Jiang Shuo? The brushstrokes are so delicate and the color matching is just right. This painting skill is not something a child can have."
Her fingers gently traced the outlines of the characters in the painting. It was Jiang Shuo's painting of his family. Lin Yue said with an envious expression, "I didn't expect Jiang Shuo's father to be quite handsome."
As she spoke, her eyes unconsciously drifted away, and her thoughts drifted away with them.
"Last time, Teacher Pang beat Jiang Shuo, and his brother took him home. I don't know how Jiang Shuo is doing now? Should I go to his house to see him?"
Thinking of this, Lin Yue couldn't help but let out a long sigh, a trace of worry appearing on his face.
She continued to murmur, "I heard that the kindergarten was acquired by a new owner. Will Jiang Shuo transfer to another school? I'm just getting used to the environment here. I'm afraid I'll have to continue looking for a job!"
At this moment, the sudden ring of the phone broke the silence. Lin Yue shivered with fright and almost lost her grip on the painting.
She looked down and saw that the caller ID was "Mr. Mu". Her panicked eyes suddenly flashed with surprise, and she whispered, "Mr. Mu? Did the sun rise from the west today?"
While quickly putting down the painting in his hand and hurriedly picking up the phone to answer it, he subconsciously looked in the direction of the sunlight refracted outside the window and tried to make his voice sound more stable: "Hello, Mr. Mu, Happy New Year!"
Mu Xiaoji's steady voice came from the other end of the phone: "Happy New Year, Teacher Lin. Are you available to come out for dinner?"
"Eat?" Lin Yue's heart was shocked when he heard this. The surprise came too suddenly.
When Mu Xiaoji heard the other party's question, he hurriedly asked, "Is it inconvenient for Teacher Lin?"
Lin Yue was so happy that she started to stutter and even started to speak incoherently, "Convenience, convenience, where?"
Mu Xiaoji breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "See you at Hongsheng Yujing Hotel at noon. See you there."
Lin Yue nodded excitedly, as if the other party could see it, and responded quickly: "Okay, see you later."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yue realized her gaffe. A blush appeared on her face. She stood up and hurried into the bedroom, starting to rummage through the drawers to choose clothes to wear for the date.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yue stood in front of the wardrobe, quickly scanning the clothes one by one, frowning, and muttering: "This one is too formal, and that one is too casual..."
After half an hour of struggling, she finally chose a simple yet elegant dress, and then carefully put on makeup in front of the mirror.
Lin Yue closed her eyes, the essence water sprayed in the air, she gently turned her cheeks and absorbed the water mist on her face.
Then she carefully used a powder puff to gently apply evenly, and with skillful techniques, she applied eye makeup and lip makeup. She stood in front of the mirror, turned gracefully, picked up her bag with satisfaction, and walked out with a sunny smile.
At noon, Lin Yue arrived at Hongsheng Yujing Hotel on time. As soon as he stepped into the hotel lobby, he saw Mu Xiaoji standing by the window, looking out the window.
When the waiter saw Lin Yue, he immediately came over politely: "Hello, how many ladies are there?"
Lin Yue never took her eyes away. Mu Xiaoji, who was sitting by the window, responded softly, "A friend has an appointment."
The waiter followed Lin Yue's gaze and saw Mu Xiaoji who had already ordered. He understood and said, "Miss, please come in." Then he took Lin Yue and walked towards Mu Xiaoji.
Hearing the footsteps, Mu Xiaoji turned around, waved to her with a smile: "Teacher Lin." The waiter led her to her seat, pulled out the chair like a gentleman, and invited Lin Yue to sit down.
Mu Xiaoji gestured to invite him to sit down like a gentleman, and then said to the waiter, "You can serve the food."
"Okay sirs, please wait a moment, it will be here soon." The waiter said and turned to leave to arrange for the meal to be served.
Mu Xiaoji said politely and apologetically, "It's New Year's Day, I hope I didn't disturb Teacher Lin's rest?"
Lin Yue smiled and shook her head, "No, no. By the way, how was your brother Jiang Shuo when he went back that day? Did he see a doctor?"
Mu Xiaoji looked at Lin Yue with a frown on his face and asked questioningly, "My brother Jiang Shuo?"
Lin Yue nodded with a harmless look on her face. Mu Xiaoji knew that she had misled Jiang Shuo, and because of her sincere concern, he reluctantly said, "You forgot that I am a doctor."
Lin Yue blushed instantly and stroked the hair beside her ears uncomfortably: "Sorry, I really don't remember."
As they were talking, the waiters brought the food to the table one by one. The waiter said politely, "Sir, your food has been served. Please enjoy your meal."
The two said in unison: "Thank you..."
After the waiters left, Mu Xiaoji picked up the juice and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I'm allergic to alcohol and can't drink. I'll toast you with the juice, please feel free to do as you please. Thank you for your care and concern for Jiang Shuo all the time."
Lin Yue waved her hands quickly, her cheeks slightly red. She looked at the glass of red wine and juice on the table in front of her, quickly picked up the juice, and said with a restrained look:
"Mr. Mu, you are too kind. This is what I should do as a teacher. Jiang Shuo is a very smart and talented child. I like him very much."
Mu Xiaoji nodded and smiled: "I can see that you like children very much."
Lin Yue held the cup in both hands and said shyly: "Yes, otherwise I would not have chosen the teaching profession." When she said this, Lin Yue's face suddenly became lost.
"I recently heard that the director of the Education Bureau got into trouble, and Principal Chen was also involved, and the kindergarten was bought out. I might be out of a job. Have you chosen a school for Jiang Shuo?"
Mu Xiaoji smiled and said, "I asked you to come here today to talk about this."
Lin Yue asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Are you asking me to help Jiang Shuo find a school?"
Mu Xiaoji said decisively: "No, I want to talk to you about the moral character of the school's vocational teachers. Tell me which teachers are worthy of staying and continuing to teach."
Lin Yue frowned slightly: "Mr. Mu, you are..."
Mu Xiaoji said directly without hesitation: "Yes, Hongfujin Kindergarten had many problems and hidden dangers under the management of Principal Chen before, and now I have full control over it.
Reorganize the system and environment of Hongfujin Kindergarten, and hope for a high-quality educational environment and teachers with good moral character. There should not be people like Pang Juan who mislead students. "
When Lin Yue heard this, her eyes lit up: "So, the new boss of Hong Fujin Kindergarten is you!"
Mu Xiaoji responded: "You can say that! Teacher Lin, please give me more suggestions and advice."
"In fact, except for Teacher Pang, other teachers are very good. Teacher Pang herself does not have a teaching certificate. Here, she is a relative. Everyone knows her background and they are just polite to her." Lin Yue told the truth.
When Mu Xiaoji heard this, he understood the hidden truth. Then his expression became a little serious and he said, "Teacher Lin, I actually came to you today because I have something else to discuss with you."
Lin Yue was surprised and said, "Is there anything else? Discuss?" Lin Yue thought that Mu Xiaoji wanted to date her, her face instantly turned red to her neck, and she lowered her head embarrassedly.
Mu Xiaoji frowned slightly, but continued indifferently: "Hongfu Jin Kindergarten has just completed the acquisition, and some agreements and contracts are still being perfected.
Now there is another problem, that is, the follow-up management requires a professional and capable person. I think you are very suitable and you are the best person.
I wonder if you are interested in being the principal of Hongfujin Kindergarten, Mr. Lin? "
Lin Yue listened to Mu Xiaoji's words word by word and was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that she did not expect Mu Xiaoji to suddenly extend such an olive branch.
She was confused, and it was obvious that she had misunderstood Mu Xiaoji's meaning. But the topic at the moment also shocked her.
Seeing Lin Yue's stunned expression, Mu Xiaoji didn't speak for a long time and asked hurriedly, "Teacher Lin, you...are you unwilling?"
Lin Yue regained his consciousness and waved his hands in panic, saying, "No, no, it's just that this happened suddenly, and I'm still young and inexperienced, so I'm afraid I can't take on this important task. I've greatly disappointed President Mu and made a mistake in choosing the right person."
Mu Xiaoji encouraged: "Everyone has a first time. Once you take the first step, everything will be fine."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yue slowly said: "Mr. Mu, thank you very much for your trust. This is a great recognition for me. However, this is a very important decision. Can you give me some time to think about it?"
Mu Xiaoji smiled and nodded: "Of course, you can think about it slowly, don't rush to answer me."
After the meal, Mu Xiaoji sent Lin Yue to the hotel entrance. When they parted, Lin Yue bowed deeply to Mu Xiaoji again and said, "Thank you, Mr. Mu, for your kindness and the lunch. I will give you a reply as soon as possible."
Mu Xiaoji waved to a taxi and sent Lin Yue in. Then he saw the taxi slowly driving away from the entrance of Hongsheng Yujing Hotel.
Lin Yue was still thinking about the new job offer. The position of principal seemed to be an extremely sacred mission; at this moment, Lin Yue was so overwhelmed that he could not breathe.
The taxi stopped at the gate of the community where she lived. Lin Yue was distracted and walked slowly.
The warm afternoon sun shone on her, outlining her hesitant yet expectant figure, and her future seemed to have quietly reached a new crossroads at this moment.
