Mo Yan Appreciation

Today's Rongsheng Middle School.

This is a private school that implements bilingual teaching. It mainly has a junior high school and a senior high school. The junior high school has 10 classes of three grades, 205 students and 59 teachers. The high school has 7 classes with 151 students and 48 teachers. , the Academic Affairs Office has 1 principal and 1 vice-principal (Zhong Xu has been included), 1 secretary, 4 secretary who is on maternity leave, 65 principal and deputy deans of academic affairs, and other libraries, canteens, dormitory management, security, sanitation Waiting for [-] faculty members, this data is dynamic, because there are often new students joining, and students are often expelled or dropped out.And, teachers are no exception.

Although this is a private school, it is not simply for profit, because no matter how high the tuition fee is, it is not enough to balance the school's high expenditures. Most of the school's working capital comes from donations from the parents of individual students, that is to say, The individual students of the school are the basis for the survival of the school.

Because of the high tuition fees, a large number of poor students are blocked. Of course, there are also special students who are exempted from tuition fees because of their excellent academic performance or outstanding sports performance, but these are a minority after all.Generally speaking, those who can come here to study are either rich or noble. To put it bluntly, this is the place where those big families train their successors.

It is conceivable that the parents of these students have a circle of life on weekdays, and they are proud of living in the circle. Rongsheng Middle School is also the epitome of this circle. They planned their children in this small circle from an early age. There are people or things that ordinary school students can't imagine, all of which are for their future succession preparations, and this circle is often dubbed by the media—high society.

The Zhong family is one of the main investors of the school. After the old principal retired to the second line, the school had several principals, but the longest tenure did not exceed one year. It's very different, it's too difficult to manage, and if you don't show mercy, you will ruin your future by offending a certain force.

To put it bluntly, in Rongsheng Middle School, the students are kings, and the principal is a supporting role. The former principal was forced to resign because he offended a certain student. He had been in office for less than three months. It was against this background that Zhong Xu came to the school. Went to Rongsheng Middle School and served as the principal.

Mo Yan's Appreciation (The Year of the Devil's Attack vs. the Tragic Uncle Shou) 3

Zhong Xuben accepted the post of principal from the third sister of the Zhong family with the intention of cultivating his life and rest. He had been thinking before, what else could be better than school to spend his old age in peace?Only now he has completely overturned his previous thinking.

Zhongxu simply calculated that there are more than 500 people in the whole school, and there are all kinds of people. Managing them is much more difficult than managing a small company.

But it seems impossible to retreat now. Ms. Zhongsan sold a lot of face to help him find this job. No matter how mad she will be, Zhongxu can't pass the old lady Zhong's test alone. The old lady raised her eyebrows and breathed out for a few days, he couldn't just watch the old lady become miserable again, and finally die without a cause, right? !

Zhongxu went to the countryside to do as the Romans do, and went to the cafeteria for lunch with the old principal and secretary. He hadn’t officially announced his entry into the job yet, and everyone didn’t know him. Along the way, students pointed and whispered to him:

Who is that person next to the principal? He looks so handsome. He can't be the new teacher, right?etc……

Zhongxu is usually a person who pays great attention to appearance and hue, so it is inevitable that he has some vanity. Hearing such words, he was very happy, and began to think about his alma mater.

That's right, there should be no more simple place than the school. If you can't get along here, you may really have only a dead end.

Zhong Xu was planning in his heart: Three years, right?Let's hang around here for three years first, and then go to another place for three years, and seven years will pass soon.

The three of them came to the public cafeteria of the school, took their knives, forks and plates, lined up with the students to get their meals, and finally sat down at a small round table by the window.

After all, it is a private school, the food is excellent, and there is no need to pay extra, it must have been settled in a unified way.

Zhongxu's mood fluctuated these days, he didn't have much appetite, and took a few bites, as if he was dealing with an errand.

The secretary at the side heard that Zhongxu was also a student here, and asked the old principal about Zhongxu with great interest. The old principal talked about Zhongxu's past deeds very well. All parties should feel ashamed.

Zhongxu was not considered a top student when he was studying, and with his best friend Yan Zhenming, he did many bad things. The old principal was kind and kind, and only remembered the good of his own students.

Zhongxu listened carefully, occasionally the old headmaster made a mistake and assigned other people's heroic deeds to him, he did not refute, but just smiled frankly and accepted it.

The three of them were talking and laughing while eating, when suddenly a student rushed to their table, threw the lunch box on the table, and loudly questioned the secretary at the same table: "Teacher, do you care about Liu Wei's accepting bribes?" ah?"

The secretary, surnamed Li, is in his 40s. He has a resolute and pragmatic appearance, but he doesn't have much ability, but he is tactful and timid, and he can't play tricks. He can only be regarded as a well-behaved person. Cleared his routine.

Secretary Li glanced at Zhong Xu on the side with an embarrassed face, and waved to the student with a smirk, and made a comforting gesture: "Eat first, eat first, what's the matter, the principal's mailbox, the principal's mailbox!"

The old headmaster on the side also asked, "What happened?"

Zhongxu pretended that it was none of his business, and without raising his head, he picked vegetables from the plate and ate them.

The student didn't show them any sympathy, so he put his hips on his hips and said loudly: "For the principal's sake, I'll give you two more days. If you don't care about it, I'll sue the mayor!" .

After the student left, Secretary Li seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, picked up the napkin on the table, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then explained to Zhong Xu beside him: "There are not many words that come out of these students' mouths. Really, be careful, be careful."

Zhongxu didn't agree with Secretary Li's words, and grinned, as if he was coping.

Secretary Li knew that Zhongxu didn't believe him, and thought he was new, and reminded him: "I'm not exaggerating. These are not students. To put it bluntly, they are just a bunch of wolves with bad hearts!"

After Secretary Li finished speaking, he seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to say this rashly. Zhong Xu was no better than others. He was both the principal and half the boss.So he stopped the topic, turned to talk about other things, and introduced the famous people in the school to Zhongxu: the granddaughter of General X, the nephew of Marshal X, who became the mayor of which class, who So-and-so is now a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference... There are really all kinds of people or things, everything that one expects to find.

If it really counts, Zhongxu might be the worst one among all the students.

Wolf calf?This metaphor is fresh and appropriate. These students will be born in society in the future, but they will be a group of wolves who "fight and plunder" everywhere.

Zhongxu thought to himself: It's just a student, no matter how bad it can be, the worst thing he and Yan Zhenming did at that time was nothing more than conspiring to beat the school's dean and burn the school's archives.

In the afternoon, Zhongxu was in his office preparing his inaugural speech at the teacher-student meeting tomorrow. In fact, the content of the speech had already been drafted by Secretary Li for him. The content was simple and clear, which was in line with Zhongxu's wishes.

Although this Secretary Li has no extraordinary ability, he is meticulous and thoughtful, and knows how to cater to people's hearts. No wonder he can stay in this intricate place for so long.

Zhongxu called Yan Zhenming, thinking that he had asked the other party to come out to celebrate at night. Today was the first serious thing he did in his life. For himself, it was somehow commemorative.

Yan Zhenming answered the phone and asked in surprise: "You joined the job today? Why didn't you say it earlier! I'm on vacation in the Mediterranean Sea, so let's talk about it when I come back."

Before Zhong Xu finished speaking, the other party had already hung up the phone.

This person knows how to enjoy himself more and more now. Most of the time every month is away from the country, and the time for the two of them to meet is getting less and less.

Why doesn't Zhongxu want to find someone who knows the bottom line and travel around the world together?This is not an easy task for ordinary people, let alone gays. Couples who have been together for more than ten years in the circle can be worshiped as gods and couples, which is equivalent to the golden wedding in heterosexual love. up.

It's better not to make such extravagant hopes, Zhong Xu comforted himself, the important thing is to spend the remaining seven years peacefully.

Mo Yan's Appreciation (The Year of the Devil's Attack vs. the Tragic Uncle Shou) 4

Zhongxu didn't go home directly after get off work, but went to the nightclub to buy music alone, drank some wine, listened to deafening music, and looked at the crowd writhing wantonly in the middle of the dance floor in a drunken stupor, very much like ghosts and snakes in illusion .

What can I do at home?It's not impossible to drink alone and worry about the empty house. It's not impossible to go back to Zhong's old house, but there are many people there, and everyone is eager to ask him a question.Zhongxu often feels that he will walk into the gay road of no return. It is more or less related to the women in his family. embrace.

Yes, he will only feel more depressed when he returns home, and maybe he will have the idea of ​​committing suicide again. This time Yan Zhenming is far away in the Mediterranean Sea. If he commits suicide, no one will come to rescue him.

He has already promised Yan Zhenming that he will not mention suicide before the age of 40. No matter what, he must let the remaining seven years pass by.

Apart from Yan Zhenming, Zhong Xu did not have other friends.
