Ji Yang quickly figured out his situation: if he continued being a teacher, it would likely end in failure for him.
Of course, Ji Yang couldn't follow their design for his life. The only path before him was to become an official.
Arriving at the principal's house, Ji Yang said to the principal, "Principal, I'd like to take a few days off to go to the county and see a doctor."
The principal, a middle-aged man named Huang Guangwei, looked at Ji Yang appreciatively and asked, "What's wrong with your health? Is it serious?"
"Just feeling a bit dizzy, I want to get it checked out."
"Alright, I'll have someone cover your classes. You go and get checked."
After getting his leave approved, Ji Yang quickly headed to the roadside.
This was a rural middle school, so to get to the county town, he needed to take one of the private small trucks that operated there.
Spending five yuan, Ji Yang got onto the vehicle.
