chapter 16 : Post controversy

These two men who walked in are also instructors hired by MuLan Middle. Judging by their physique, they seem to have a military background.
The two of them, who were excited, finally saw Eiland sitting in the office. One of them exclaimed and then patted his chest, saying, "Oh, you scared me. I didn't expect someone in the office. Hey, brother, you look unfamiliar. Are you new here?"
Eiland stood up and said with a smile, "I'm Eiland. We're colleagues from now on. Please take care of me."
"Haha, no problem. We're brothers from now on."
It's clear that these two have a rough and hearty disposition. They didn't even shake hands with Eiland, but went straight for a bear hug. Then, the instructor on the left, who seemed more cheerful, said, "I'm Burnell, and this guy is a recently arrived instructor, Tyler Chen. He's a bit of an introvert and doesn't talk much."
Tyler Chen gave a faint smile to Eiland, indeed he wasn’t much of a talker.
"Hey, hold on a second."
Burnell suddenly exclaimed, took out his phone, opened the school forum he had just looked at, and then opened the hottest post. After reading the post and looking at Eiland, he exclaimed, "I can't believe it, the instructor in the post is you, brother?"
"Let me see?"
Eiland took Burnell's phone and looked at the photo with accompanying text in the post. Wasn't that the scene of him massaging Emily Chen's feet? Who was the mischievous one to take such pictures?
What's even more bewildering for Eiland is the title of the post, which reads "Instructor and Female Student Being Intimate under the Osmanthus Tree, Instructor Massaging Female Student's Feet." If it were an ordinary girl, the post wouldn't have gained much attention. But the problem is that Emily Chen is quite well-known at MuLan Middle. Her incident of hitting an instructor even made it to the school’s forum!
Under the post, many students expressed surprise, wondering how a proud and wilful girl like Emily Chen could be interested in a skinny instructor like him.
There were also students with different opinions, thinking that Eiland, as a new instructor, was actually quite handsome. Because the male instructors at MuLan Middle are mostly big and burly, well-built, they are admired by many girls. But Eiland, with his gentle demeanour and a touch of handsomeness, injected a fresh breeze into this group of muscular male instructors.
Eiland sighed, "What's going on? Emily Chen sprained or dislocated her foot, I just helped her set it back in place."
"Is that really the case?"
Burnell and Tyler Chen looked at Eiland, clearly not very convinced. Burnell even said with a smirk, "Brother, liking girls isn't a bad thing. We're all young and full of vigour. Now that we've entered a girls' school, facing all these female students, who wouldn't have some thoughts? Don't you agree?"
"But I really am innocent."
"Haha, brother, you don't need to explain. Actually, I quite admire you." Burnell said sincerely, and Tyler Chen also gave Eiland a thumbs up, which left Eiland laughing and shaking his head.
Looking at the photo of Emily Chen, Burnell commented, "Emily Chen is really a little beauty. Look at her appearance. I heard there are many guys wooing after her. Unfortunately, her combat power is too high. Not long ago, a guy from an outside school came to the school gate to confess to Emily Chen and was directly sent to the hospital by her. Even the previous instructor in their class was beaten by her, and it was... quite bizarre!"
Eiland curiously asked, "Brother Burnell, do you know why Emily Chen beat the previous instructor in their class?"
Burnell shrugged and said, "That previous instructor in their class wasn't a good person. It's said that he often made improper advances towards female students during class, and even almost sexually offended a girl. Coincidentally, that girl was acquainted with Emily Chen. When Emily Chen found out, she confronted him openly during class, and then... that guy was made immobile."
"So fierce?" Eiland was slightly astonished.
"Indeed, let me tell you about Tyler. He also had a showdown with Emily Chen, and he lost."
"I had diarrhoea that day." Tyler Chen defended himself with a straight face. "If it weren't for my diarrhoea, I would definitely have beaten her."
"Uh..."
Eiland looked at Tyler Chen's honest and serious face and couldn't help but smile. At the same time, he felt a bit more favourably towards Tyler Chen. He could see that Tyler Chen and Burnell both had military backgrounds. Burnell was the outgoing type, while Tyler Chen was more introverted and steady, but he was an extremely loyal person. Eiland liked making friends with people like him.
At this moment, Tyler Chen said to Eiland, "Eiland, the thing that Mulan Middle School hates the most is teacher-student relationships. So... if this thing with Emily Chen is true or false, it will definitely have an impact on you. You need to be prepared."
"Bang!"
The office door was suddenly pushed open, and a man with a stern face walked in, his gaze fixed on Eiland. He asked, "Are you Eiland?"
Eiland looked at this burly, dark-skinned man who looked like a gorilla and didn't know how to respond for a moment. After all, he didn't know the man's identity.
"Cough, cough."
Burnell coughed twice and said, "Come on, let me introduce. Eiland, this is our office director, Brother Ba. Brother Ba, this is..."
"Burnell, I didn't ask you anything, you'd better shut up." Li Ba glared at Burnell, who could only close his mouth and stop talking. Li Ba then turned to Eiland and said, "Everyone who comes to be an instructor at Mulan Middle School is under my jurisdiction. Although we're rough, we're not rotten. So, I don't want any troublemakers in this office. Do you understand what I mean?"
At this moment, Ba Li exuded an air of hostility.
Moreover, what he said was not a warning to Eiland, but a direct accusation. It was almost as if he was saying that Eiland was a troublemaker.
Eiland was also angry. He had just arrived, so why was he being targeted? He said coldly, "I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're talking about."
"Still acting innocent?"
Li Ba sneered, "The affair between you and Emily Chen has already been posted online. What, dare you not admit it? I just came from the academic affairs office, and everyone is talking about it. So, I'm here to take you to the academic affairs office. Several directors there have said they want to expel you."
"What?"
Eiland was first surprised, then he sneered, "You want to expel me just based on a photo and a slanderous post? Come on, I'll go with you to the academic affairs office. I want to see who dares expel me."
...
Tyler Chen and Burnell looked at the angered Eiland, both slightly astonished. Despite Eiland's slender build, at this moment, he exuded an air of dominance. As for Li Ba, he let out a cold laugh, then turned and led Eiland towards the academic affairs office.
