Sitting on the swivel chair in the barber shop, one day listening to the barber say it was a pity, Ise Ruri stared at the mirror and discovered another problem.
The color of her pupils is different from ordinary people's, one is violet and the other is amber gold.
Should I wear ordinary contact lenses?
"Mom, mom, is that big sister a celebrity? She's so beautiful!"
"I guess so. Come on, wave to big sister and say hello."
"Sister, you are so beautiful!"
“···”
"Uh. Thank you."
Ise Ruri reluctantly responded to the little girl.
It seems that there is no need for that.
Even if she dyes her hair black and wears ordinary contact lenses, Ise Ruri feels that she will still attract attention.
Everyone likes beautiful things, and naturally beautiful and exquisite people also like to take a second look.
However, at least, after replacing the waist-length white hair with shoulder-length black hair, no one stopped to take pictures as often as before.
And if you look at the color of your eyes, others might think you are wearing colored contacts. Teachers shouldn’t even be allowed to wear colored contacts, right? Besides, I’m born with it, so the principal probably won’t have a big problem with it.
When I entered the school again, the uncle let me go easily.
"Sure enough, a pretty girl will look good no matter how you do it! If you can teach in this school, there will probably be many single male teachers who will pursue you."
The uncle praised me without hesitation.
Ise Ruri could only laugh awkwardly at this, and then walked straight into the school.
When I walked through the playground, students from several classes were taking physical education classes.
Because she had black hair, those students didn't want to stare at Ise Ruri as much as they did at first. She thought that now, those students would only think about "that girl is pretty" for a fleeting moment.
idea.
The uncle is right. If you want to work here, you must first do as the locals do. Otherwise, you may be told that you are not suitable to work in the school as soon as you enter.
The principal's office was upstairs in a door shape behind the playground. According to the location mentioned by the uncle at the door, Ise Ruri climbed up to the second floor and found the principal's office at the deepest point.
Compared with the neon principal's office, this office is relatively smaller, and is no different in size from an ordinary staff room.
The location is just on the same floor as ordinary employees. There is no separate meeting room for directors like Neon.
Well, Ruri Ise also realized more intuitively from some details that there are various differences between socialist countries and capitalist countries.
The office door is open.
"Breathe... exhale."
Ise Ruri took a few deep breaths and then knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
The characteristic rich voice of a middle-aged man came from inside.
"Hello, I contacted you on the phone yesterday and came to apply for the job today."
Ise Ruri kept smiling as much as possible.
Speaking of which, I used to be able to talk eloquently in front of a thousand people, but now I feel a little nervous.
"Oh, sit down."
The principal looked up at Ise Ruri and said, "The voice sounded very young when I heard it on the phone yesterday. Well... you just graduated from college not long ago, right?"
"It's been three years."
Ise Ruri sat upright on the chair, her eyes focused on the white stainless steel tea cup with the name "Excellent Lecturer" in front of the principal.
"Three years? That's not long. To be honest, you are a bit too young. Even if you are a teaching assistant, you still need some relevant knowledge."
The principal knocked on the table, as if thinking about something, and then said: "I would like to ask, where did you go to university? What major did you study? Or do you have any practical experience in education?
some type of."
"Principal, please wait a moment."
Ise Ruri took the small bag on her shoulder to her body, opened the zipper, picked up a certificate and said, "This is the doctorate certificate in management I obtained at the University of Tokyo."
"University of Tokyo? Are you an international student?"
The principal put on his glasses and was slightly surprised to see the genuine degree certificate on the table.
Because very few young people from prestigious universities are willing to come to school and earn salaries that are by no means high.
"No, I'm a neon man."
Ise Ruri asked nervously: "I was too embarrassed to ask foreigners on the phone yesterday if they could apply..."
"As long as your visa is legal, long enough, and you have the ability, there will be no problem."
The principal couldn't help but glance at Ise Ruri and said, "But your Chinese is really good. If you hadn't said you were a neon person, I wouldn't have noticed at all."
"I spent some time in China when I was a child."
Ise Ruri asked: "Well, I still have some certificates. I don't know if they are useful, but I brought them all."
"oh?"
"This is my certificate for getting my PhD in economics from MIT."
After saying that, she took out another book.
"This is me at Waseda University..."
"This one is in Sklan..."
“···”
"You...are these genuine?"
The principal looked at the various degree certificates placed on the table, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably.
"Principal, you can check these on the official website."
"Sorry, I was a little surprised."
The principal rubbed his temples and said, "It stands to reason that since you are so capable, you don't need to apply for the teacher's profession at all, right?"
"Well, actually I'm not short of money. Being a teacher is a long-cherished wish."
"Then why not be a neon?"
"this···"
Ise Ruri thought for a while and said: "Because I have considered settling in China, I want to work here while adapting to the Chinese environment. And although I am a neon person, I have longed for life in China since I was a child.
.”
"Um."
The principal clasped his hands together and said, "But I have to remind you first, if you don't have a teaching qualification certificate, I can only hire you as a temporary special-post teacher, with the same salary as an ordinary teacher, but without any benefits or security."
"It doesn't matter, as long as I can be a teacher."
"Okay. Since you have produced so many degree certificates, I believe you have certain abilities."
The principal groaned and said: "This recruitment is because several female teachers are on maternity leave. Now is the time when staff are vacant. Let's just try to teach the second class first. It turns out that the second class teacher teaches English. I
I think you should be fine."
"I have no problem speaking English."
Ise Ruri has this confidence.
After all, I stayed in the United States for a year.
"The main problem is, I'm still worried that you are too young, and those students are not so easy to take care of. Let me ask, do you have any management experience before?"
"I used to manage some teams in the company."
"Hmm... That's a little better. But taking care of students is completely different from taking care of employees. You have to be mentally prepared."
"Then principal, does that mean I'm admitted?"
"When you talk about admission, you are actually a temporary teacher. If you really want to be a teacher, I suggest you spend some time to get a qualification certificate."
The principal hopes that such a person with various degrees from well-known universities will be stationed in the school for a long time to teach students experience.
However, he didn't quite believe that the young man in front of him could endure the boring teaching career.
If you don't really love the profession of a teacher, it may feel a bit novel at first, but as time goes by, it will become boring and boring.
