I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 791
"Li Yan, is Mr. Li Yan here?"
Just after getting off the plane, Li Yan saw a group of people outside the airport holding a sign with his name on it and shaking it. It seemed that they were the staff who would be responsible for his settlement that day as his teacher mentioned.
Li Yan looked at it and felt that he couldn't tell what type of company they belonged to. He just heard that after returning to Japan, Professor Ogura entrusted a relationship to arrange for him to work in a place that could calm his mind. It's just a country like Japan. Their work attire is all the same, and it's impossible to tell which unit they belong to.
"Hello, are you here to pick me up? I am Li Yan from England."
Li Yan pulled the suitcase over there and asked tentatively.
"Yes, Mr. Li, you came back on time, so please come with us, we have everything ready."
Many of this group of young people in formal attire seemed to be about the same age as Li Yan, and there were also a few middle-aged men and women, all of whom seemed quite enthusiastic.
After exchanging pleasantries at the airport, the middle-aged man helped him carry his luggage, opened the automatic door, and let him sit in a good seat, which made him feel flattered.
Sure enough, Professor Ogura introduced him to a Japanese technology company. It was actually quite good to think that he could temporarily replace the exhausted academia with work. It was also a kind of relaxation to learn some practical things.
If it were a company like Sonny and Nintendo, he always felt that he would be more adaptable and expectant.
…
As a result, for some unknown reason, the car stopped in front of a parking lot near a residential area.
Li Yan was stunned. When riding in the car, he never directly asked what type of company the other party was. However, this group of people were very talkative along the way and kept asking him various questions about Oxford University and China, but they did not let him know. Opportunity to inquire.
"I remember... this is a street in Taito District, a place called Ueno."
After Li Yan got out of the car, he looked at the surrounding landmark buildings. He probably remembered that he had been to the Ueno area several times. I used to come here to eat with the bald teacher.
While waiting for the driver to come in and park the car, Li Yan felt that the temperature was starting to rise a bit. He took off his windbreaker, wore a shirt and jacket, and leaned against the wall shaded by green trees. He didn't get much rest and seemed a little drowsy. Closed his eyes slightly.
"ah!!"
"Ahhhh!!"
At this time, Li Yan heard the surprised cries of several little girls, which immediately made Li Yan open his eyes and look around.
However, he could only look at the heel of a child running away in the corner, which looked like a little girl's heel.
"What's wrong?"
Li Yan thought to himself.
"You've been waiting for a long time, then let's go over."
The driver came back in a hurry and said to them.
"Okay..." Li Yan followed everyone in confusion, but when he passed the corner, he still saw the heads of three trembling children exposed outside the electric pole. For some reason, there was always a trace of them. A sense of déjà vu.
However, when he arrived at the work place introduced by Professor Ogura Kenichi, Li Yan's pace slowed down and he was completely confused.
This is not a certain technology company, let alone Sonny and Nintendo, but...
"Welcome, Mr. Li... No, Mr. Li, join us at Taitung District Tangmen Elementary School. It's great that the professor from the University of Tokyo entrusted the Department of Education to introduce us to a foreign teacher like you. To be honest, public schools The salary is not as good as private schools, and it has always been difficult to recruit new foreign teachers with your level of education and potential."
This obese middle-aged man smiled and introduced Li Yan.
"Hey...hey, wait a minute, do I want to work here!?"
Li Yan looked pale and pointed at this school and asked.
"Hey, Teacher Li, don't you think this school is good?" the obese middle-aged man asked in surprise.
"No, no, no, no..."
Li Yan couldn't react, but he couldn't say in front of this group of people that he didn't expect that he was here to be a foreign teacher.
Before this, Li Yan did think about whether he would become a teacher in the future, but this idea was still wasted in the UK. Unexpectedly, Professor Ogura Kenichi would arrange for him to be a foreign teacher in a public elementary school.
"Um...teacher, I want to ask, if I teach in this elementary school, which subject should I teach?"
Li Yan finally collected his thoughts, convinced himself, raised his head and asked with a bright smile.
"It's like this. Our third-grade teachers just have new teachers to fill the vacant positions. Other subjects are basically enough..."
"Well, Teacher Li, as a foreigner, since you were admitted to Dongda University with such excellent results, you must be quite good at all subjects, so you have unique insights into Japanese culture. I discussed it with the principal and asked Li It is perfect for the teacher’s passion for Japanese Mandarin to be integrated into teaching. Mr. Li, you will be the Mandarin teacher for the third grade of our school.”
Bang bang bang bang...
Facing the enthusiastic applause of three or four teachers, Li Yan stood blankly in the middle, unable to say a word.
At this moment, he felt that he was more comfortable bearing the humiliation of plagiarism...
Chapter 378 Become the world’s best teacher
After the tram rumbled past with its warning bell flashing, the red railing slowly lifted.
The street is very quiet, with apartment buildings, gray single-family roofs and a network of wires beside the tree-lined street, merging into a unique Japanese street scene.
A young man in a white trench coat was sent here by school. After getting off the train, he pulled his suitcase and headed towards the streets of Shinjuku District that he was familiar with.
Here, nothing has changed.
"..."
Li Yan quietly looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar streets in front of him, pulling his suitcase forward. His mood was vague for some reason, he was happy and confused at the same time. The happy thing was that he had been living here again for a while, and he was confused... ...If the environment has not changed, then have the people changed?
When he was inadvertently distracted, Li Yan's body was suddenly hit by something. When he looked back, he saw that it was a little girl chasing and fighting on the street who accidentally bumped into his arms.
"Ah, ah ah..."
The children all looked up and saw this young man, and their faces turned pale.
"You should be careful..." Li Yan looked at them and warned them.
But before the words were finished, the group of children immediately looked like they had seen a monster. They were so frightened that they shouted "I'm really sorry", turned around, rubbed oil on their soles, and ran away.
"Forehead……"
Li Yan saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.
"Mandarin teacher..."
Li Yan thought with melancholy.
Until now, his mind was a little confused. He really didn't know why his mentor, Professor Ogura Kenichi, recommended him to become a primary school teacher. It was true that when he was a senior in college, he took the exam for a teaching qualification certificate because he felt that he might be suitable to be a teacher. However, later on, his dream gradually faded away, and he had somewhat forgotten that feeling.
Because it’s the child who gets scared like this when he sees his eyes.
