Chapter 432: The First Comfort
Tong Tong was unhappy, and Geng Xiaoqing had to press the pause button for his carnival. For her, Meng Xingyun was in trouble. Even if he had to take revenge, why couldn't Tong Tong laugh?
"Dear Bucket~ Rice Bucket~ Iron Bucket~ Wooden Bucket~" Geng Xiaoqing shouted all his former nicknames, and was a little crazy: "I am your death note. As long as you tell me the name of your enemy, I will let her not live tomorrow."
Tong Tong was amused by her: "It's a pity that you don't go to perform in a drama."
Since Meng Xingyun easily got rid of the suspicion of murder, Tong Tong fell into constant thinking again. He deeply doubted life - his good teachers and friends are senior reading enthusiasts. They strictly abide by the principles of integrity and kindness, but they have no good life. At the least, they are displaced, and at the worst, they are ruined. How could this happen?
But Geng Xiaoqing would not understand these troubles. To a certain extent, she is also a person who only cares about her own happiness, but she has more conscience and humanity than Meng Xingyun. Geng Xiaoqing was so angry that she said that fighting a rookie like Meng Xingyun was too unsatisfied. Before she could completely fight wits and courage, Meng stopped. She also designed more tricks, but they were useless.
"Then you be careful, too." Tong Tong said tiredly: "She has just stopped online for the time being, but she can change her number and style. As long as she doesn't appear on the screen, no one can recognize her. She can still make money. While making money, she will laugh at the stupidity of her fans and be complacent for her intelligence. When she recovers, she will take revenge on those who make her difficult life."
Geng Xiaoqing said indifferently: "I hope she will become stronger, otherwise it would be too boring to fight with her. Invincible is too lonely, but I am invincible now."
"That's good." Tong Tong said perfunctorily: "As long as you are willing to live a good life, you can do whatever you want."
As the end of the year approaches, there are not many people on campus, and a quiet environment is more conducive to creation. However, standing at the door of the studio and looking at the word "Tipangmang", Tong Tong felt a sarcasm. Since he learned the meaning of these two words, he has tried to be a brave and wise person like his father. But reality always hit him hard, his "morality" is always ridiculed, and his life is always turbulent. He can't figure out how to live so that he can live a more stable life without letting himself down?
He sat in the studio for a long time, but he didn't see anyone coming. He was about to show his power as a "boss", but suddenly he remembered that that day was a weekend. He couldn't help laughing and was so angry that he even forgot about the weekend. He walked back and forth in the studio several times, and couldn't help but send a WeChat message to Hao Mengyuan: "Teacher Hao, do you have time? I'm in a bad mood and don't want to eat alone - if you don't have time, don't force it - in fact, it's because I went to the B&B last time and I have to give you a favor."
Hao Mengyuan quickly replied: "Send me a message, why are you still nervous?"
Is there any? Tong Tong read the message and it was indeed as Hao Mengyuan said. While sending the message, he had already predicted the possibility of being rejected, so he laid the groundwork himself. What's so nervous about inviting a familiar friend to have a meal?
Tong Tong didn't know either, he just rubbed his hands in vain.
Hao Mengyuan continued to reply: "If you have time, come to Hong Kong University to find me. Our canteen just opened a spicy hot pot, which is super delicious. Welcome to taste it."
The two schools were still a bit far apart, but Tong Tong was very happy and agreed to her without hesitation. When he arrived at the cafeteria, he found that Hao Mengyuan had already ordered it and was sitting there quietly waiting for her. Hao Mengyuan, who came out to work overtime on weekends, was not as radiant as usual. Her hair grew a lot and was casually spread on her head. She was wearing big black-framed glasses and had no makeup on her - but to be honest, there was not much difference between her makeup and bare face. They were both refreshing and good, like a hardworking and studious good student.
The most important thing is that when she sat there, she exuded a fragrance of books, making people feel that the years were quiet.
Tong Tong stopped staring blankly, strode over, and blamed, "I invite you to dinner, who asked you to spend money?"
"When you come to my territory for dinner, how could I ask you to spend money?" Hao Mengyuan squeezed out a smile and said, "Stop saying anything like repaying favors. How should I repay the favors my father and I owe you?"
"Then I'm not polite."
The spicy hot pot is indeed delicious, but both of them are full of thoughts and just ate them quietly. Hao Mengyuan first asked, "You must have been in trouble again, let me enlighten you, right?"
"Well...but this question is too abstract, and I don't know how to ask." Tong Tong blinked and said, "This question is, why do you still have a hard life after reading so many books?"
"This is a good question." Hao Mengyuan applauded: "In the next issue, you can set this topic and invite everyone to discuss it."
"Ah... it seems that Teacher Hao can't answer." Tong Tong smiled bitterly: "If you don't know the answer, then no one will know."
"Not necessarily, there are many people who are wiser than me." Hao Mengyuan smashed the chopsticks and said in a daze: "I am also thinking hard about the answer and am worried about it."
For a long time, Hao Mengyuan has been Tong Tong's spiritual mentor, and Tong Tong has almost forgotten that she is just a weak girl who often forces herself to be strong. At this time, she looks haggard and her eyes are dull, and she must not be in a good mood. Tong Tong said: "If someone bullies you, you can report my name to me. Ten years ago, I was still a bad boy in Hong Kong City. Although I am almost thirty years old,... my name is somewhat intimidating!"
Hao Mengyuan finally smiled a little: "I'll try it next time. If I report your name and the other party doesn't know, it will be embarrassing."
Both of them laughed. Hao Mengyuan insisted that she had nothing to do, but her work pressure was too high. A month ago, her leader asked her to draw a notice to hold an English speaking competition on campus. The competition system required that participants should not have a longer life experience in English-speaking countries for more than two years. With this condition, the students all applauded, which would ensure the fairness of the competition to the greatest extent.
Hao Mengyuan was only responsible for writing the notice and knew almost nothing about the details of the competition. Then she went to the finals in person to write a news article. The competition was over and the tweets were sent, and everything was very successful. As a result, the night before yesterday, her private email received an email, and a contestant anonymously reported the second prize winner. The second prize had obviously lived in Singapore for several years, but she concealed this experience, and the teacher in charge of organizing the competition did not review it carefully.
After receiving the email, Hao Mengyuan immediately replied an email. She sincerely apologized to the contestant and said that the teacher would verify the winner's qualifications again. At work the next day, Hao Mengyuan reported this to the leader. Unexpectedly, the leader was furious and asked: "What qualifications do you have to say apologize? Which side do you stand on? What if this student sends the email to the Internet, what should we do?"
"But she listed a lot of evidence in the email, and it was indeed because the organizer did not review strictly..."
"You can't apologize!" The leader restrained his voice and said, "As soon as you apologize, we will become very passive! You have been working for so many years, why don't you even understand this principle? Can't you change your impulse problem?"
Hao Mengyuan felt aggrieved and said, "If the teacher did something wrong, why can't we apologize? At least let the students feel our sincerity..."
"Whatever I say, you just do it!" The leader glared at Hao Mengyuan and said, "You should consider the school's position, not the students'!"
...
Because of this sentence, Hao Mengyuan was completely confused.
She began to doubt her beliefs and doubt her original intention of being a teacher. She wanted to argue with her leader. If the teacher did not consider the students and only wanted to support her face, then why should she be a teacher?
"But I'm very cowardly." Hao Mengyuan said frustrated: "I'm not as brave as Li Xiao. I don't dare to talk to the leader like that. For my job, I can only compromise. I'm so useless! How disappointed that student who trusts me!"
After saying that, Hao Mengyuan took off her glasses and whimpered in a low voice. Tong Tong said, "You have done well enough. If I were your student, I would definitely feel your warmth. I have fought countless times before, because there is no teacher standing by my side, I can only protect myself."
"Then what should I do? Should I fight to the death of the leader and ask him to give the students an explanation?"
Tong Tong thought for a moment and said, "There is no need to be so anxious, you can wait."
"Um?"
"That student wrote you a letter, which means that he trusts you. And you did not procrastinate, did not speak the official accent, and did not take out the teacher's airs to suppress him. Instead, he sincerely replied to him and did all the things you were in charge. The students must be very moved. Moreover, he must have made a judgment in his heart what kind of teacher you are and what kind of teacher others are. As for your leader, although he is dissatisfied with your approach, the Internet is so developed and there are so many ways to expose it, and he dare not ignore the students' demands. If he solves it well, the students will not protest again; if he does not solve it well, the students will definitely come to you again, and you will think of solutions at that time."
Hao Mengyuan suddenly opened her eyes, and the spicy hot pot also smelled. Tong Tong joked: "I have known you for so long, and this is the first time I have taught you. I am still very happy to do something for you."
"You have done enough." Hao Mengyuan said with a blushing face: "Although I don't say it, my father and I are very grateful to you."
"Stop! Don't be so polite among good friends."
They seemed to have regained their "good friends" relationship, and Hao Mengyuan no longer mentioned confession. She also understood that Tong Tong wanted to take care of Geng Xiaoqing, and in a short period of time, he would no longer consider falling in love. But, if he and Geng Xiaoqing get back together, what should they do?
The spicy and fragrant pot that was fragrant the previous second was immediately not delicious again.
"Teacher Hao, what else do you have to worry about..."
"Let's watch the movie together!" Hao Mengyuan suddenly said unwaveringly without hesitation: "I want to invite you to watch the movie. If you are not available today, then I will make an appointment for the next weekend; if you are not available for the next weekend, then the next weekend..."
As she spoke, the corners of her eyes became wet again, as if she was moved by her courage. Tong Tong was so overwhelmed by her sudden courage that she forgot to refuse. Facing her burning gaze, he nodded in a scattered way: "Okay, let's go to the movie together. But..."
"But what?"
"I will decide the time." Tong Tong said: "When the burden in my heart is completely put down, and when all the knots about Teacher Meng's heart are untied, I will invite you to watch a movie. I will definitely invite you."
