Linda and Anna got closer to the office door, so they could hear more clearly the conversation between Amber and the principal.
"Don't be so anxious. You should wait patiently. You know that you graduated from a junior college, and you can only get a higher title when you work as a first-level teacher for more than five years."
"You mean I have to wait for two more years? But I don't want to wait anymore. You can promote me to a more senior position. No one will know my educational background as long as you don't tell others about it."
"I can't help you do that. Your educational background documents have to be submitted to the Education Bureau. They will surely find something wrong with it. If they do, I might even lose my job because of that."
Amber wanted to become a senior teacher. Linda learned that there were stringent conditions on the the selection of senior teachers. The most important thing was that the candidate should have solid fundamental theoretical and professional knowledge.
However, Linda didn't find that Amber possessed any professional knowledge and skill. She only saw that Amber often did something against the teachers' morality, like what she was doing inside the principal's office now.
Amber and the principal kept talking in the office. Linda turned on the recording device of the dragon ring and recorded their whole conversation.
Now, Amber could never be promoted to a higher position. If she wanted to be a senior teacher, she had to be experienced in teaching, with an outstanding performance.
However, as a teacher, Amber always did a lot of thing to violate the position's morality which was the most important and basic code of ethics. She even ignored the basic principle of humanity.
The principal seemed to be in disagreement with her. Amber continued behaving in a spoiled manner.
"Honey, please help me this time. The staff of the Education Bureau might not check anything, right? You know a lot of powerful people in the Education Bureau, so it will be easy to help me get the position of senior teacher."
Amber's words made Linda feel sick. Amber was a middle-aged woman, but she spoke in a cutesy voice which didn't match her face.
At this moment, Anna seemed to have discovered something. She drew Linda beside the window. Although the window curtain was drawn, it didn't completely cover the glass. They could somehow see what was happening inside the office through a narrow slit.
What they saw disgusted them.
At the beginning, Linda and Anna were just listening to the conversation and didn't see what was really going on in the office. Now, they were disgusted when they saw the intimate behavior of Amber and the principal. The principal was a bald man in his fifties. He wore a pair of glasses, looking full of energy. He had a large belly, even larger than that of Linda who was six months pregnant now.
Amber was a middle-aged woman, seeming to get fat...
Her figure looked...
Linda and Anna had no idea why the principal liked her.
They were talking in a whisper.
They kept listening to the conversation. Amber wanted to be a senior teacher, but the principal didn't agree with her. Amber insisted on getting a position higher than her current, which put the principal in a dilemma. She even kissed his...
Amber's behaviour at that moment was really indecent and shocking. Linda didn't want to see any of it any longer.
After almost listening to the whole conversation, Linda stood up, drew Anna to the principal's office door, and knocked on it.
When they heard someone knock on the door, Amber and the principal immediately stopped talking.
About half a minute later, the principal spoke, "Come in."
Linda opened the door and went inside the office along with Anna. At that moment, they saw Amber holding a textbook, looking at the principal and saying, "I should go first. I will hold the computer competition for the freshman students in our senior high school according to your instruction."
