Chapter 36 (2/2)
The piece of paper appeared to
be torn from an exercise book, and it was filled with students’ SOS messages.
Se Cai did a cursory count and
there was at least 30 of them.
“Is this place even a school?”
Se Cai cursed. His determination
to expose the school became firmer.
The school is a place for
students to learn and grow but this Blue Sky Rehab obviously didn’t share that
philosophy. The place was h.e.l.l on earth for these students!
Lee Wei said after a long
silence, “The fact that the parents are willing to send their children to this
school is also a chilling thought.”
The pair of them had been standing
at the gate for quite some time, and had attracted the attention of the admin.
“Hey! What are you two doing
here?”
A man in army uniform yelled rudely
as he sauntered over.
The man had a slicked back hair
and a pot belly. It was someone Se Cai recognized, Security Manager Wong that
led the gang of ruffians to visit him at the hospital.
“Are you a teacher from this school?”
Lee Wei said hurriedly, like
repeating from a memorized script, her words kept tumbling out, “Our friends
recommended us here. You see, we have a son that’s obsessed with online games
and we’re at our wit’s end. Hopefully your school can help us.”
“Of course, please follow me. I’ll
give you a tour of the school compound.”
The moment w.a.n.g heard the two
was potential customer, his tone became referentially immediately.
As mentioned above, the fees at this
place was not cheap and the admin was given solicitor’s fee if they brought in
business.
“I am w.a.n.g, the school’s
security manager. Our school has been graded by the Ministry of Education as a
professional reformation center. Currently, the school has more than 1000
students, it is the best school in the whole Town Z and even Province X. I
a.s.sure you your child will receive the best education here!”
Manager w.a.n.g opened the school
gate and waved Se Cai and Lee Wei in.
Se Cai was worried his cover
would be blown but Lee Wei’s technique was so good that he was unable to see
through his disguise.
Lee Wei leaned on his hands,
like an old married couple.
“Don’t panic, and cover for me.“
She whispered into Se Cai’s
ears.
Se Cai felt tickled by her
breath and he almost forgot why they were there.
With Se Cai blocking the view,
she unzipped the side of her bag for a bit to allow the camera to poke through.
The recording had officially started.
Manager w.a.n.g was too occupied
with selling the school to notice what was happening behind him.
“Good afternoon, sir!”
Along the way, they met many
school in blue and white striped school uniform that actively greeted Manager
w.a.n.g.
The students’ discipline greatly
impressed Se Cai. The atmosphere of the school was not one he expected, it was
peaceful and orderly.
If Se Cai hadn’t known better,
he would definitely be tricked by the show that was put on.
“This is our school’s faculty
building. All our teachers are retired military men. Using military training,
the faculty is able to bond with the students while ensuring their utmost
discipline…”
Manager w.a.n.g kept on praising
the school and since it would make for good footage, the pair didn’t interject.
“Err, Manager w.a.n.g, since all
the teachers are retired military personnel… What about the non-physical
cla.s.ses like math and science? Do the teachers have teaching certificate?”
Lee Wei found a flaw in Manager
w.a.n.g’s pompous speech. This was after all a school, not a military camp. The
teachers could tackle physical education but who would be responsible to teach
the more technical subjects?
“This…”
Manager w.a.n.g stammered, this was
the first time someone had asked him such a professional question.
After some time, he floundered, “Since
they’re teachers, I’m sure they can teach those subjects as well as physical
ed.”
“I suppose you have a point. After
all, our son is only 8 years old. He wouldn’t be able to focus with his
internet addiction anyway. The only thing he talks about is LOL!”
Lee Wei smiled and said, “speaking
of which, do you mind if we inspect some of the cla.s.ses?”
“Of course, please follow me!”
Manager Wong led them to a
cla.s.sroom on the first floor. It was math cla.s.s.
The teacher was wearing the same
uniform as Manager Wong but instead of using books and blackboard, the cla.s.s
was watching an educational film.
“Overcome yourself, held strong
and believe in yourself!”
The moment the teacher raised
his hands, the students launched into a rehea.r.s.ed act.
“Choosing Blue Sky is choosing
quality! Choosing Blue Sky is choosing change! Choosing Blue Sky is choosing
growth!”
The students yelled out in a
clear voice complete with synchronized hand gestures.
The teacher nodded
satisfactorily. He said, “Alright, our next cla.s.s will be physical training.
Anyone here didn’t finish their daily morning 800 meters run? Raise your hand!”
The originally slightly rowdy
cla.s.sroom went quiet instantly. Every student appeared to be frozen to their
spot.
