I became Tang Qiuyan and told the school that I had some family matters, so I left without saying goodbye for two months. Now I am willing to return to the school and continue my job, and I don't need two months' salary. I only hope the principal can keep me.

Tang Qiuyan has always been kind and weak, and she is also well-behaved at school and never causes trouble. When the principal heard that I was willing to give up two months' salary, he readily agreed.

I was flipping through the student roster in the office.

The name Li Mengmeng caught my eye.

The main reason I chose to become Tang Qiuyan was that I found out the research institute helped my sister, Li Mengmeng, transfer schools.

Not only did they erase all the traces of Li Mengmeng's bullying her classmates online, they also compensated the bullied student's family with a large sum of money to silence them.

Moreover, they transferred Li Mengmeng to this school to give her a fresh start.

I deliberately chose to come here because I didn't want to miss my dear sister's beautiful new life.

On the first day of class, Li Mengmeng didn't show up.

In the afternoon, she came to the school but didn't go to the classroom. Instead, she intercepted a classmate in the campus and threw the classmate's school bag on the ground, scattering the books.

Although I was far away, I could hear her clearly.

"Cheng Wen, what's so great about having a few stinky coins at home? Do you want to show off your wealthy family at school with these branded goods? Let me tell you, I won't fall for your act."

The girl being bullied is also a student in my class, named Cheng Wen.

She is introverted, gentle, and weak.

I was curious because Cheng Wen's family conditions were not bad, but I didn't know why she was so timid and afraid of Li Mengmeng.

As for Li Mengmeng, she was just driven by jealousy.

She couldn't tolerate anyone around her having better conditions, whether in appearance or family background. She had to be number one.

Poor Cheng Wen, just because she carried an expensive luxury brand backpack, it aroused Li Mengmeng's dissatisfaction.

I smiled and walked over, reaching out and patting Li Mengmeng's arm.

Li Mengmeng winced in pain, looking at me with wide eyes. "Are you looking for death?"

I looked at her and said, "Who allowed you to bully classmates at school?"

Li Mengmeng appeared fearless. "Who are you? What's it to you?"

I smiled and said, "I am your homeroom teacher, Tang Qiuyan."

Li Mengmeng was stunned for a moment. "I heard others say you have a good temper and don't care about students. I didn't expect you to be pretending. You're really a despicable person..."

"Slap!"

Before Li Mengmeng could finish her words, I slapped her directly.

Li Mengmeng was frightened, covering her face and looking at me.

I still had a smile on my face. "Insulting a teacher, do you want to die?"

"Write me a thousand-word self-reflection, otherwise, I will give you a severe punishment."

After speaking, I took Cheng Wen and left.

In the office, I comforted Cheng Wen and encouraged her not to be afraid of Li Mengmeng.

Later, I promoted Cheng Wen to be the class monitor.

I told the students in the class to assist Cheng Wen and cooperate with her work.

I saw a look of hatred in Li Mengmeng's eyes. I knew I had achieved my goal.

After work, I didn't leave. Sure enough, I saw Li Mengmeng and a few other girls shoving Cheng Wen towards the back of the schoolyard.

I adjusted my glasses and followed them.

When we reached the back of the schoolyard, I saw Li Mengmeng and the other girls surrounding Cheng Wen, forcing her to kneel on the ground and continuously humiliating her with their words.

Cheng Wen, who was already weak, could only hold onto her school bag tightly while tears streamed down her face.

Li Mengmeng casually looked atthe situation and saw me standing there. She smirked and said, "What are you doing here, Teacher Tang? Enjoying the show?"

I calmly walked towards them, my voice firm and stern. "Li Mengmeng, I will not tolerate any form of bullying in my classroom or in this school. You will face severe consequences for your actions."

Li Mengmeng laughed mockingly. "Consequences? What can you do, Teacher Tang? You're just a weak and powerless teacher."

I took a deep breath and looked directly into Li Mengmeng's eyes. "You're mistaken, Li Mengmeng. I may be a teacher, but I have the responsibility to protect my students from harm. I won't let you get away with your bullying."

With that, I swiftly reached out and grabbed Li Mengmeng's arm, pulling her away from Cheng Wen. The other girls were momentarily surprised by my actions.

"Let go of me!" Li Mengmeng struggled, trying to free herself from my grip.

I didn't release her. Instead, I maintained a firm hold and spoke with authority. "Li Mengmeng, you will face disciplinary measures for your behavior. Bullying will not be tolerated in this school, and I will make sure justice is served."

At that moment, the school security guard arrived after being alerted by a concerned student who witnessed the incident. He assessed the situation and escorted Li Mengmeng and the other girls to the principal's office.

I stayed with Cheng Wen, offering her comfort and assuring her that she was not alone. I contacted Cheng Wen's parents to inform them about the incident and assure them that the school would take appropriate actions to address the bullying.

In the following days, the school conducted a thorough investigation into the bullying incident involving Li Mengmeng and her accomplices. The evidence was clear, and disciplinary actions were taken accordingly.

Li Mengmeng was suspended from school for a period of time, and her parents were required to attend counseling sessions with the school psychologist. The other girls involved also faced disciplinary measures, including community service and mandatory anti-bullying workshops.

Throughout the process, I continued to support Cheng Wen and the other students who had been affected by the bullying. I organized classroom discussions on empathy, kindness, and acceptance. I wanted to create an environment where all students felt safe and respected.

Over time, Li Mengmeng's influence diminished, and the classroom atmosphere became more harmonious. Cheng Wen gradually gained confidence and started to participate actively in class. The other students rallied around her, providing support and friendship.

As a teacher, it was my duty to foster a positive learning environment and protect my students. I was determined to make a difference in their lives and empower them to stand up against bullying.

Years later, I received a heartfelt letter from Cheng Wen, expressing her gratitude for my unwavering support during that challenging period. She shared how her experiences had shaped her into a strong and compassionate individual, and she credited me for instilling those values in her.

Reading her letter brought tears to my eyes. It was a reminder of the impact teachers can have on their students' lives and the importance of standing up against bullying.

From that day forward, I vowed to continue advocating for a safe and inclusive learning environment, ensuring that no student would suffer in silence.
