After speaking to the security guard at the entrance, the older gentleman showed her the way.
Upon entering, she saw a two-story teaching building, somewhat dilapidated but at least it was a building, with the central protruding part being three stories high.
The older gentleman said this was the office building.
Lu Jingqiu went up to the third floor and arrived at the innermost part, but she didn’t find a sign for the HR department.
Luckily, a male teacher in his fifties was ing downstairs at that moment, so Lu Jingqiu hurriedly asked, "rade, hello, could you tell me where the HR department is?"
"HR department? Who are you?"
Lu Jingqiu introduced herself with a smile, "I’m the new art teacher transferred here, and I’m here to go through the onboarding process today."
The male teacher said "Oh," and directed her to the second room on the right, "It’s that room, go inside and look for Director Wang."
"Thank you. May I ask how to address you, Teacher? My surname is Lu."
The male teacher smiled and said, "My surname is Jia, I’m the principal here."
Lu Jingqiu felt both embarrassed and surprised, as she hadn’t expected to meet the principal upon just arriving.
But the principal was warm and said, "Teacher Lu, you were transferred from West City, right? It’s our school’s fortune to have such an outstanding teacher join us. I hope you will shine in your position and inspire the students."
Lu Jingqiu quickly bowed and said, "I will do my best, Principal."
"Go ahead."
After Principal Jia left, Lu Jingqiu didn’t linger either. She posed herself and went straight to the HR office.
"Hello, is this HR? I’m the new teacher who just transferred here, ing to plete the entry procedures today."
At the office desk was a female teacher in her fifties with glasses. She glanced at her and said, "e in. Did you bring your documents?"
"Yes, I brought them." Lu Jingqiu hurriedly handed over her documents.
The teacher looked them over and said, "You’re the art teacher transferred from West City. Hello, Teacher Lu, wele to Guan Mountain. You’re a rare college-educated teacher in our school."
"Director is too kind. I don’t have much experience and will need to rely on my seniors to guide me."
"Everyone starts somewhere, take it slow."
The director processed her entry formalities and assigned her a small single room in the dormitory.
After pleting the procedures, Director Wang took her down to the teacher’s office on the first floor.
He introduced the new Teacher Lu to everyone.
There were six classes in the first year of high school, each with over sixty students.
Lu Jingqiu met several headteachers and greeted each of them.
Last, Director Wang took her to a small office on the first floor, where two art teachers were located.
Both teachers were at their desks, writing something. Seeing the director approach, they quickly said, "Director Wang."
"Teacher Dong, Master Chen, this is the new Teacher Lu, who will be teaching art to the first year. Starting from next week, both of you, help guide her."
Lu Jingqiu hurried forward with her greetings, "Hello, Teacher Dong, hello, Master Chen. My name is Lu Jingqiu. I’ll be in your care."
Teacher Dong was a woman in her twenties, and Master Chen was also in his twenties.
Both of them smiled and greeted Lu Jingqiu.
Director Wang pointed to an empty desk and said, "Teacher Lu, this will be your workstation from now on. Master Chen, you take over teaching Lu Teacher for a while.
Teacher Dong, help her get to know the school environment, the students’ psychology, and the situation of the classes, and explain everything to Teacher Lu."
After the introductions, he gave Lu Jingqiu a key, told her an address, and then asked Teacher Dong to acpany Lu Jingqiu to the staff dormitory behind the building.
After saying goodbye to Director Wang, she followed Teacher Dong out of the teaching building.
Behind the building lay a large playground.
One side of the playground was a small courtyard, Teacher Dong said, "That’s the girls’ dormitory. It’s square with three large rooms, with one room for each grade’s female students."
Lu Jingqiu said, "Such large rooms."
"Yes, they can acmodate over ninety people, with bunk beds."
To the right of the girls’ dormitory was a water room in the boiler room, the concern being that the water pipes would freeze in winter and be unusable.
Behind the girls’ dormitory was the canteen, and behind the canteen were three rows of boys’ dormitories, each equipped with a boiler room.
Further out there was a large latrine, and the space behind it also belonged to us, it has been vacant for a while.
The student dormitory building connected to a boiler room, as did the classroom building.
To the left, rows of small houses prised the teacher’s dorms, also connected to a boiler room.
While speaking, Teacher Dong led her to the third row, different from the front two rows, ending at a small courtyard with an arched gateway.
The gate was unlocked.
