C89 (2/2)

Xiao He only felt that his teacher was his teacher. As long as he desired something, he would be able to feel it.

”Speak, it's fine.” Professor Tan motioned for him to sit.

He looked at Xiao He silently for a long time, then looked at the old-fashioned watch in his hand.

”Then let's go. This time, I'll take you back to the school to take a stroll in the east district. Anyway, this is the last lesson of the morning.”

The two of them walked to the artificial lake in the school's east district.

”Teacher, aren't you surprised that I've come to find you?”

”There's nothing to be surprised about. You are my student, and I am your teacher. ”

”Teacher, did anyone else know about what you told me last time?”

”Someone else? I think there should be. After all, I heard other teachers talking about it in whispers, but only the more experienced teachers know about it. Because the school trusted us, they decided to hold a small meeting to discuss the matter, hoping that we would be able to control the situation.

Although the Vice President had said it very discreetly, I had forgotten why I did not go to the meeting. So, I only know that someone went to the meeting, but I'm not sure, because some of them might have been different. ”

”It's alright, teacher. If you can recall one or two of them, that's fine too.” When Xiao He heard that, his eyes immediately lit up, as if he had seen the flame of hope.

”Let me think,” Professor Tan said, rubbing his chin.

”I remember, there was Yan Guodong, Cao Wenqing and Gao Qing.”

Hearing these names, Xiao He knew they were all old teachers, because they had often heard of them in school.

”Teacher, is there only these people?” Xiao He was a little doubtful.

”Something like that. I'm not sure about the others, but they must be there. Because I heard them talking after the meeting. ”

However, Xiao He was not worried about this, because he knew that even if all the names of the meetings were present, it did not mean that everyone knew about it.

If there were only these few people who knew, then as students, Xu Yan's group would definitely not know the slightest bit of what was going on.

They must have been the first to spread the story.

Following this line of thought, Xiao He asked again:

”Teacher, are you sure no teacher outside of the name list knows about this?” After saying that, Xiao He still felt that he was being too tactful.

”I mean, have you ever told this to anyone, or mentioned it to anyone?”

”It can't be. I'm also someone who's about to retire soon, so why cause such trouble? At that time, the school had already expelled quite a few young teachers for this. The rumors were very intense, and everyone on campus was very sensitive to this topic.”

”So you gave the order to keep quiet about this?”

”That's right.” Elder Tan's expression was exaggerated, as if he still had some lingering fear of what happened that year.

Xiao He pondered for a moment.

”How many young teachers did you say were expelled?”

”Yeah, because a few of them seem to have leaked the news to our classmates, telling them to be careful.”

”Of course, some of them were just curious, but in the end, they were taken by the school to make an example out of others.”

”Xiao He understands now. Those teachers who were expelled, weren't recalled after?”
