"I just saw him arrive. He seemed to have gone into another classroom," Xue Rui said, raising his voice slightly.
Xue Rui was speechless. 'This hapless counselor of his... who knows what he gets up to every day. All I know is that I've heard from other teachers that Xia Tianjun is always the one getting chewed out in meetings...'
Xia Tianjun was standing just outside in the hallway. Hearing his superior ask if he had arrived, he was already numb to it.
Especially when he heard the students say, "We haven't seen him," he was already preparing himself to be chewed out at the next meeting.
Fortunately, Xue Rui had smoothed things over for him, so he should be able to avoid it this time.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, a result of climbing the stairs, and said with a smile, "Secretary Li."
"Mm." Secretary Li nodded and walked toward the next classroom.
