Teacher Zhou said, "I didn't show them any kindness, but that woman was a tough nut to crack. However, I am a woman of my word, no matter how difficult the task, I won't back down. I am more than willing to work for you, Deputy Commander Hu. Just tell me what you need."
The call was made to Hu Jie's office. After listening to a lengthy monologue, Hu Jie coldly instructed, "Teacher Zhou, you are a smart person. If you handle this matter well, you will be handsomely rewarded."
Back at the Director of Moral Education's office, Director Du returned, arms laden with brand-new textbooks and stationery. Trailing behind her was a young woman, around twenty-five or twenty-six, also carrying new textbooks, stationery, and a few sets of school uniforms. She was likely a teacher who had been asked by Director Du to help carry the items.
