Chapter 405: Immigration Wave

No.1 Wanghai High School.
A young-looking math teacher with glasses was packing away his stuff in the office. Three days ago, he handed in his resignation letter. Today, the principal finally agreed.
”Guangpin, you're really not going to work here anymore?” The director stood beside him as he said reluctantly.
Li Guangpin was a teacher they hired three years ago. Although he was just an undergraduate student at that time, he demonstrated excellent teaching ability. With the philosophy that math can be fun, he employed a humorous but rigorous teaching style. Not only did he manage to increase a class with mediocre math scores to the best class today, but he also gained the respect and love of all the students in the class.
This type of teacher, not a single person would be willing to let him go. And because of that, the principal dragged out his resignation for three days before seeing that he had made up his mind and finally signed the letter without any other choice.
”Director Wang, you don't need to try and convince me anymore.” Li Guangpin smiled and stuffed a pen a student gifted him into his bag.
Director Wang let out a sigh. ”Okay, I'll stop trying to convince you.”
Perhaps upset by the fact that a school executive personally tried to persuade him, a teacher correcting homework in a low voice said bitterly.
”Private high schools have better benefits, how could the small No.1 High School hold your glorious presence.”
The voice was not too high, but not too low.
Director Wang's expression didn't look good, but he didn't say anything as he just pretended he didn't hear anything. Private schools acquiring talents from public schools had been giving the school executives headaches, but they could do nothing about it. Since ”People walked up, water flowed down,” talent could not just be retained by culture. Private school's salary and bonus structure are much better than public schools. It may be more tiring but was undoubtedly more attractive to young teachers with ambition and ability.
When he heard his coworker's words, Li Guangpin paused for a second, but he didn't mind and only smiled.
Although Wu Jiefeng had some conflicts with him in terms of awards, since they were no longer people from the same world, he didn't let it bother him.
”I'm not going to a private school, I'm going to teach overseas.”
”Overseas?” Director Wang was shocked.
”Mhmm, a few high schools in Xin posted positions, and I happened to pass the interview. They wanted me to come as soon as possible.” Although he used a casual voice, from the smile on his face, however, he was proud.
When they heard Li Guangpin's words, the teachers who were working on their own things began to chat amongst themselves.
”I saw the posting too. It is through a video conference with a salary of 4000 USD a month!” A male teacher whispered.
”Really?” A female teacher said, shocked.
4000 USD was 24000 RMB in salary, and it was just a starting level salary! To the average teacher at a public school, it was an astronomical number!
”It shouldn't be fake, Xin government is doing the hiring. They wanted to solve the lack of talent in their schools and hospitals, so they are offering a competitive package to oversea teachers and doctors. The news even went on Future 1.0's headline.
