The programmer and his woman

When I returned to the company, I excitedly announced the news of my successful application. My colleagues congratulated me and were happy for the new life I was about to start. I walked up to Lao Wang, formally submitted my resignation, and started the work handover with Sister Wang. After Wenwen heard the news, she quietly walked to my side, her eyes slightly red.

"Brother Wang, I was wrong about what happened before. I apologize to you." Wenwen's voice was trembling. "If you left because of me, I will explain it to everyone. I just want to be with you and don't want to embarrass you."

I smiled and shook my head: "It's okay, Wenwen, you don't have to blame yourself. I understand your feelings, but I feel that I can't give you the love you want, so I rejected you. I hope you won't hate me, and we can still be good friends in the future. Don't worry, I have found a new job, and I hope you can find someone who truly loves you."

Wenwen seemed to want to say something else, but I interrupted her: "What you said that night... was actually a misunderstanding." I took a deep breath and decided to tell her the truth, "I did have a dream that night, but it wasn't you that I dreamed about."

After hearing this, Wenwen burst into tears, but she quickly wiped away her tears and said to me with a smile: "Thank you for telling me the truth, Brother Wang. I...I will bless you."

From that day on, the gap between Wenwen and I really disappeared, and we became just ordinary friends again.

After finishing the company's work, I invited my colleagues to have a farewell dinner together. Wenwen also came, and we sat together in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

During the dinner, Brother Zhao teased Wenwen: "Xiao Wenzi, I'm not saying anything bad about you. I reminded you at that time that Xiao Wang didn't like you, but you shamelessly pursued Xiao Wang. Look at how embarrassed you are now."

When Wenwen heard this, she immediately straightened her back and retorted: "Brother Zhao, you are the one who talks too much. Even eating can't stop you from talking, right? If I meet someone I like, I will chase after him. Even if I can't catch up with him, I won't regret it. I'm not like someone who is over 30 and still hasn't found a partner."

When Lao Zhang heard this, he jumped out in a hurry and said, "Hey, I said Xiao Wenzi and Lao Zhao are insulting you, don't shoot at me."

Wenwen blinked and said innocently: "I didn't mention anyone by name, why are you so anxious?"

Lao Zhang spread his hands helplessly: "Among the people at this table, I am the only one who is still single in his thirties. Aren't you obviously talking about me?"

Before she finished her words, Sister Wang made a "puff" sound and the water in her mouth sprayed directly onto Lao Zhao's face. It turned out that she was drinking water and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Sister Wang quickly put down the cup, picked up a tissue and wiped Lao Zhao's face, apologizing as she wiped: "Oh, Lao Zhao, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it!"

This scene made everyone laugh, and Wenwen also took the opportunity to tease: "Brother Zhang, you are mentally balanced now, right? This is the retribution for not being kind."

Lao Zhao also responded with a smile: "Yes, I asked for it. Xiao Wenzi, you just don't suffer any loss. Come on, let's go! We have both good friends and bad friends. It's fate that we meet. May our friendship last forever! Cheers!"

As Lao Zhao finished speaking, we all raised our glasses and clinked them together, making crisp clinking sounds. This meal was not only a farewell dinner between us, but also a testimony of our friendship.

Today is the day to report to the school. I pushed open the glass door of the school with excitement and anticipation. A beautiful receptionist greeted me with a smile and nodded, and enthusiastically guided me to the rest area to wait. Looking around, I couldn't help but sigh that the environment here is really pleasant, which is in sharp contrast to the software company I worked for before, which was always full of busy old men.

Just as I was immersed in this warm atmosphere, another young beauty came over. She was elegant and had an outstanding temperament. I couldn't help but secretly praise this school for being full of beauties. She asked softly, "Excuse me, are you applying for software or games?"

"Oh, games," I replied.

"Okay, this way please." She smiled and led me into a multimedia classroom. The classroom was spacious and bright, with complete facilities. I couldn't help but look forward to the new job that was about to begin.

After the beauty settled me down, she whispered, "Please wait a moment." Then she turned and left the classroom.

I secretly pondered the professionalism and gentle attitude of this beautiful lady. Her voice was so nice and gentle. "Please wait a moment" sounded so soft and nice. Oh, by the way, at this moment, I suddenly remembered a question: Does this beautiful lady know that I am here to join the company today? She didn't seem to ask about my identity and purpose and brought me here directly. I secretly prayed that there would be no misunderstanding or mistakes. Just as I was thinking about it, the beautiful lady came in again, holding a form and a test paper in her hand.

When I saw this, I realized there was still an exam required and the principal didn't tell me about it. I thought I shouldn't quit my job there and then fail the exam here. Isn't that a lie?

I took the form and saw that it was just some basic personal information. It should be an entry form, but the format was different from the previous ones and much simpler. I looked at the test paper again. There were only two pages and not many questions. I was dumbfounded when I looked at the questions carefully. This was not a test paper, but more like an intelligence test. Did the principal suspect that there was something wrong with my IQ?

After answering a few questions, I really couldn't continue. What are these? Some are to test IQ, some are to test personality, and some feel like asking for gossip. What's the connection?

I said, "My beautiful teacher, do I need to fill out these questions when I start working?"

She smiled and replied, "Yes, students, you need to fill in this form for admission. This will help us get to know you better and develop a study plan that is more suitable for you."

I was stunned for a moment, and corrected him: "You must have made a mistake. I am applying for employment, not admission."

She seemed a little surprised, but quickly adjusted herself and said, "Oh, sorry, maybe I didn't hear it clearly before. But in our school, even before you can get a job, you need to study and pass the exam to get the corresponding certificate before you can be assigned a job."

I was even more confused: "That's not right. The principal told me that I could start working directly after I came here. He didn't say that I had to go to school first before I could start working."

She explained: "Students, our model here is to learn skills first and then enter the company to work. This is to ensure that you are qualified for future jobs."

I asked, "What about the three thousand yuan the principal mentioned?"

She replied, "Oh, classmate, you want to pay 3,000 yuan for this course, right? 3,000 yuan is for basic courses, regardless of major. If you bring the money today, you can go through the admission procedures now."

I was even more confused: "What? I have to pay you three thousand first? I'm not here to study, I'm here to work!"

She seemed a little impatient: "We are not responsible for employment for a 3,000 yuan course."

I thought this was totally wrong, so I emphasized again: "Teacher, I am here today to join the company and to work, not to study."

She looked me over and asked in a questioning tone, "Working here? What kind of job do you come here for?"

I answered seriously: "Teacher, I am here to work as a teacher."

After hearing this, she suddenly laughed: "You want to be a teacher? Hahaha, if you are a teacher, then I am still the principal! Classmate, if you want to register, hurry up and pay the money and fill out the enrollment form. If you don't want to register, leave quickly. I have a lot of things to do here. Don't make trouble here."

As she was about to send me away, I said anxiously, "How could you do this? Don't push me. I'm really here to be a teacher. I want to see your principal!"

She said impatiently: "The principal is too busy to receive you, go away!"

At this moment, I happened to see Teacher Li passing by the door, and I quickly shouted, "Teacher Li, Teacher Li!"

Teacher Li saw me, walked over and asked, "Teacher Wang, you are here. Are you here to register for employment today?"

I nodded, raised the paper in my hand and asked, "Yes, but do we still need to fill this out when we join the company?"

Teacher Li glanced at the beautiful girl next to him, who was looking at us with an incredulous look. Teacher Li explained, "Teacher Wang, this is our new admissions teacher, and she may not know much about the situation. You are the teacher who comes to teach here, so you don't need to fill in these papers."

The beautiful teacher asked in surprise: "Teacher Li, you call him teacher? Is he the teacher who comes to teach us?"

Teacher Li nodded affirmatively: "Yes, Teacher Wang is our new teacher."

The beautiful teacher suddenly realized what was going on and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Teacher Wang, I misunderstood you. I thought you were a student who came here to make trouble. Please wait a moment, I will call the principal for you. Um, Teacher Li, should I call the dean or the principal?"

Teacher Li smiled and said, "It's all right. They have already met and talked. You can ask anyone to come."

The beautiful consultant nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, I'll go right away." Then she ran away in a hurry.

I looked at her back and said to Teacher Li, "Teacher Li, you have a great place with so many beauties."

Teacher Li laughed: "How is it, you came to the right place, right? The one just now was our school's counselor. Apart from the teachers, the rest are basically young girls like this, each one is prettier than the other. You can solve your marriage problem here."

I responded with a smile: "Haha, whose marriage problem have you solved?"

At this time, Teacher Qi walked in from outside, saw me and said: "Teacher Wang is here, great, why are you sitting here? Let's chat in my office."

Teacher Li stood up and said, "Okay, Teacher Qi, you guys go first. I have class here so I'll leave first."

Teacher Qi nodded: "Okay, Teacher Li, you go to class first."

I followed Teacher Qi into the teacher's office and saw the beautiful counselor who was sticking out her tongue at me awkwardly.

Teacher Qi introduced me, "Teacher Wang, this room is the teacher's office. Our teachers can rest here when they don't have classes. They can sit anywhere, regardless of whose desk it is.

This is Teacher Han, this is Teacher Zhang, and there are several other teachers teaching. You can get to know each other after class.

There are a few girls here who are our counselors. They are mainly responsible for admissions and reception of students who come to the school for consultation.

This is our head teacher, Ms. Liu. She can handle all class matters.

Oh, and Xiao Zhang over there is the network administrator here. You can ask him for help with any issues regarding computers and the network.

Teacher Wang, is there anything else you want to know?"

"Teacher Qi, regarding subsidies and insurance, I would like to ask if we have any subsidies? And does the school provide insurance?"

After hearing this, Teacher Qi smiled and replied, "Teacher Wang, we don't have any subsidies or insurance. If you need insurance, we can help you get it, but you have to pay for it yourself. None of the teachers here have these. But you will earn more money here than in your previous unit, the work will be relatively easier, and you can train yourself better here."

I nodded in understanding and asked, "So what's my next job?"

Teacher Qi thought for a moment and said, "Don't be in a hurry. The enrollment for the game course has just started. You have time to prepare for the lessons during this period. I will see if there are any basic computer courses later and arrange a few classes for you. You can use them to practice teaching first." After that, she turned her head to look at the head teacher, Teacher Liu.

"Then Mr. Liu, please help guide the new Mr. Wang."

Teacher Liu readily agreed: "Okay, Teacher Qi, you go ahead and do your work. Teacher Wang, just leave this to me."

I nodded in gratitude and turned to Teacher Liu.

Teacher Liu asked: "Has Teacher Wang taught a class before?"

I answered truthfully: “No.”

Teacher Liu smiled and said, "Oh, that's fine. Teacher Han will teach you a lesson later. You can sit in the back and listen. Is that okay, Teacher Han?"

Teacher Han glanced at the time and said, "No problem, my class starts in half an hour, Teacher Wang will call you when it's time."

For several days, I was immersed in the state of listening to the lectures. My head teacher, Mr. Liu, carefully arranged for me to listen to the classes of different teachers. During this period, I really had a very easy time. There was almost no other task except listening to the lectures. Every morning, I arrived at school on time, entered the classroom, chose a suitable seat, and began to listen to the teachers' lectures. Each teacher has his or her own unique teaching style. Their explanations are easy to understand and I benefited a lot from them.

Although the days of attending classes seemed leisurely, I felt a little uneasy in my heart. I couldn't help but wonder, how could it be possible to get such a good salary without doing anything? This doubt kept lingering in my mind and prevented me from completely relaxing.

Just as I was lost in thought, my homeroom teacher, Ms. Liu, found me. She smiled and asked me, "How is it, Mr. Wang? After listening to these teachers' classes for a few days, how do you feel? Can you try to talk about it?"

I hesitated for a moment and replied, "The teachers are all very good and I have learned a lot. However, if I really start teaching, I still feel unsure."

Teacher Liu comforted me and said, "It's okay. It's normal to be nervous at the beginning. You will get used to it over time. Starting tomorrow, I will arrange some basic computer courses for you. The students of these courses are mainly middle-aged and elderly people who don't know how to use software. It's relatively simple to teach. With your level, you don't need to prepare lessons. You can just speak directly. Don't be nervous. Just speak freely."

I nodded to show my understanding. Then, Teacher Liu added: "The tuition fee for this course is relatively low. I don't know if Director Qi has mentioned this to you. However, this is also a good opportunity to practice and improve your teaching level through practice."
