Over the weekend, Teacher Xie from home called, saying she recently saw a news clip on a short video platform about a criminal case in the Hong Kong Region, and reminded her to go out in groups with friends, to try to take the subway to and from work, and not to take any red-top minibuses.
Liang Weining, munching on an apple, laughed, "Who would have thought Teacher Xie, so keen on confiscating students' phones, ends up hiding in the office secretly scrolling through short videos, so much for leading by example."
"Don't change the subject. As a girl living alone, you must pay attention to your safety. Making money is secondary, life and health are paramount. If you don't heed my words, you will stay in Chengdu next year and I won't allow you to go to work in the Hong Kong Region again."
Teacher Xie spoke with a stern tone, evidently quite disturbed by that piece of news.
