Chapter 56: Chapter 56: This Drink, Not Tasty

"Director Xu, Teacher Bai is here."

Lu Deshui, with a face full of obsequious smiles, pushed open the door of the private room, followed by Bai Xue. Seeing five or six people sitting there, she felt relieved. After all, they did not look as sleazy as Lu Deshui. The bespectacled and scholarly appearance made her worry less.

"Teacher Bai, your presence truly graces us."

Director Xu, wearing glasses, gazed at Bai Xue with an intense look. They had met once before, and it was he who had arranged for Bai Xue to transfer from the village primary school to Lotus Town’s primary school.

"That’s too kind. I am honored to meet all the leaders here."

Bai Xue, feeling awkward, smoothed her jet-black hair. The situation was hardly relaxing for her.

"Come, come, Teacher Bai, why don’t you sit next to Director Xu. We must take good care of him tonight."

At this moment, there was an empty seat next to Director Xu, specifically reserved for her, which meant Lu Deshui could only sit near the door. This arrangement confirmed that as the deputy headmaster of the town’s primary school, he did not hold much status at this table.

"Let me introduce you. These individuals are the backbone of the Education Bureau and also the interviewers for the upcoming interviews. Why don’t you toast them with tea instead of alcohol?"

Director Xu pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up his nose. Upon hearing this, Bai Xue felt a bit thrilled—she had expected he would force her to drink alcohol, but now it turned out to be water. She quickly picked up a glass of clear water and drank with each of them, gradually relaxing.

After several rounds of drinks, everyone was in high spirits, and Bai Xue maintained her smile throughout, thinking that she could handle the evening with ease. But suddenly, someone stood up.
