Chapter 474: Chapter 474

Everyone knows that Wang Hongmei is a big blabbermouth, no one in the residential area really likes her, and no one agrees with her at the moment.

Wang Hongmei had been ranting for a while and when she turned around, she saw Wan Chu’er and Liu Yufang. Wang Hongmei eyed them, shamelessly walked up to Wan Chu’er, and said:

"Legendary Mother, I know you actually look down on this job of watching children. How about we switch? You talk to the leaders, and I’ll replace you."

Her suggestion left Wan Chu’er and Liu Yufang speechless. Who do you think you are? Why should we switch with you? You want this benefit but expect others to deal with the leaders and face the consequences if the leaders are unhappy.

Wang Hongmei’s request caught the attention of the gossiping Military Wives, one of whom said politely, "Wang Hongmei, this isn’t something you can simply switch if you want. It’s all up to the leaders. And if you want to switch, why don’t you talk to the leaders yourself?"

Someone else said, "Legendary Mother went to school abroad; even the best local school teachers might not have qualifications as high as hers."

"Exactly, if Legendary Mother is willing to teach our children, we’d be thrilled."

Although it wasn’t directly stated, the implication was clear: everyone disdained Wang Hongmei for her low educational level and questionable character. No one wanted their children to end up in the hands of such a person, fearing they’d learn all sorts of bad habits.

Wang Hongmei fiercely glared at everyone, dropped a "Mind your own business!" and stormed off, huffing.

That evening when Jiang Kechu came home, Wan Chu’er asked, "Why is my name still on the list for kindergarten teachers? I’m not interested, nor do I have the patience to pamper those bratty kids. If I went, I’d probably spank them ten times a day."

This place was full of mischievous brats and crybabies who wailed all the time.

"If you’re not interested, I’ll talk to them." With the big competition approaching, Jiang Kechu had been very busy lately and hadn’t managed to address this issue.

Seeing that his mind was elsewhere, Wan Chu’er pursed her lips and said, "Never mind, you just focus on your special training. I’ll handle this."

Being a teacher isn’t easy, but not wanting to be one is easy enough.

"Are you sure I don’t need to handle it?"

The next second, Jiang Kechu was already fast asleep.

A few days later, Jiang Kechu left Northwest with the team for a competition in the North China Military Region.

Wan Chu’er didn’t have time to feel sentimental, as the kindergarten teacher interviews had already started. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel•fire.net

The interview was set in the newly built kindergarten. Ten family members sat in line, each entering for the interview one by one.

Wan Chu’er was in the middle, the most relaxed among the ten. Liu Yufang was the third, her palms sweaty from nerves. She asked softly:

"You really have good mental fortitude."

Wan Chu’er: "...I’ll tell you a secret."

Liu Yufang looked at her, curious about the secret at such a time, and whispered, "What secret?"

"I’m not going to be a kindergarten teacher. My goal today is to make that clear to the leaders, then fail the interview."

"Ah?" Liu Yufang gasped in surprise, her unusual reaction catching the attention of others. She quickly composed herself.

Wan Chu’er gave her a push, "It’s your turn now." Thus, Liu Yufang, unable to ask why and forgetting her own nervousness, entered the interview office.

After half an hour, Liu Yufang came out unable to hide her joy. She didn’t leave but sat down next to Wan Chu’er again and whispered, "What did you mean by what you just said?"

Wan Chu’er replied indifferently, "Just as it sounds."

"Why?" asked Liu Yufang.

Wan Chu’er said, "I was afraid I couldn’t help but hit some naughty kids, which would cause trouble."

Liu Yufang looked at her in astonishment, as Wan Chu’er didn’t seem like a person who would resort to violence against children.

Wan Chu’er continued, "I don’t lack job opportunities, can’t be a people’s teacher responsible for nurturing children."

It took a while for Liu Yufang to respond, "That’s really a pity." She thought Wan Chu’er had other things to do since she could easily earn US Dollars online, something Liu Yufang couldn’t compete with.

Soon it was Wan Chu’er’s turn. She stood up and walked into the interview room without looking sideways.

Apart from Liu Yufang, the others outside were guessing that Wan Chu’er would most likely be hired, given her good educational background, favoritism from leaders, and her having twins. Last time, she even d 200,000 to build a Hope School, clearly showing her love for education.

However, just five minutes later, Wan Chu’er walked out with a calm expression, leaving everyone almost shocked.

Some, unaware of the details, became jealous, saying it was way too much! Even if it was a direct appointment, wasn’t it worth putting on an act? It was an insult to them!

Someone asked aloud, "Wan Chu’er, how did your interview go, is it already decided?"

Wan Chu’er slightly raised her eyebrow and deliberately said, "As I wished, it went fine."

Those others, excluding Liu Yufang, looked displeased, thinking it was totally unfair, outright nepotism! But faced with Wan Chu’er’s stern demeanor, no one dared to argue and could only hold it in.

Wan Chu’er didn’t care about others’ opinions, nor about other people’s interview outcomes, and didn’t wait for the result. She left the place straightaway as Chuanqi and Hunter were still playing in the yard. She couldn’t even find time to accompany her son and daughter, let alone waste time with these people.

Liu Yufang smiled awkwardly and quickly followed her.

After the interview, the incident soon spread around the residential compound. Wang Hongmei, having heard about it, complained everywhere about how unfairly the organization handled things, and even persuaded a few people to consider reporting the issue to the leaders.

Good-hearted Liu Yufang stopped them, "Why not wait until the results are announced? Then you can decide what to do. Let’s not have a repeat of the Dong Lili incident."

Someone thought deeply about Liu Yufang’s words, linking them with Wan Chu’er’s prior public declaration of disinterest in teaching, and eventually realized.

Wan Chu’er wasn’t even interested in being a primary school teacher, so how could she be interested in being a kindergarten teacher? There must be some misunderstanding here.

Now, Dong Lili keeps hiding at home every day, not even daring to go downstairs. To buy anything, she sneaks around furtively.

So everyone patiently waited for three days, and finally, the results of the kindergarten teacher selection were publicized.

The answers everyone was concerned about were revealed:

First, Wan Chu’er was unexpectedly (as expected) not on the list.

Second, the two kindergarten teachers were: Liu Yufang and Chen Chen.

This stirred up discussions again among the crowd. Wang Hongmei was silent for a long while before mumbling, "Comparing people can infuriate one to death."

Some people tried every means but couldn’t get it, while others had opportunities handed to them but pushed them away.
