It was a serious matter. A teacher had tendered his resignation for no reason, so Zhou Lin didn't dare to delay the matter and immediately passed the resignation letter to An Xinhui.

"What else did he say?"

An Xinhui put down her brush and opened up the letter.

The content wasn't long. He had first said that he had a good time in the school for the past ten or more years and had developed strong feelings for it. Thereafter, the topic changed to him being ashamed of having failed the previous headmaster. Not capable of advancing to become a great teacher all this while, he no longer had the face to stay in the school.

"No, but by the looks of it, he seemed to have been dealt a great blow."

Zhou Lin felt that it was good for Liu Wenyan to resign as well. It'd save some money for the school.

"Go and prepare 1,000 silver taels."

An Xinhui instructed.

"Headmaster."

Zhou Lin wasn't pleased. She must be planning to give this to Liu Wenyan. Was there a need for that?

"Go and prepare it."

An Xinhui put down the documents she was going through and headed out.

"Headmaster, that Liu Wenyan is too mediocre. He's not worth you showing kindness to."

Zhou Lin didn't wish to move. The school's financial situation was in red. If they were to give out these 1,000 silver taels, An Xinhui would definitely have to scrimp and save for a very long time.

"Although he is mediocre and hasn't produced any results, he has worked for the school for over ten years. Moreover, he has a family to take care of. I only hope that he won't be troubled too much financially before he finds his next job."

An Xinhui said in a very calm tone.

"But isn't that too much?"

Zhou Lin pouted. An Xinhui was really kind, but she knew what Eldest Miss's character was like. Once she had made up her mind, it'd be impossible to persuade her otherwise. Therefore, Zhou Lin went to prepare the money.

Liu Wenyan stood by the roadside not far away from the school's entrance. He had luggage with him and was waiting for a horse carriage.

"Teacher Liu!"

Hearing the graceful voice, Liu Wenyan, who was lost in his thoughts, got back to his senses. Seeing that An Xinhui was standing right next to him, he quickly greeted her.

"Headmaster An."

"Why does Teacher Liu wish to resign? Is it because I haven't done a good job? Did I disappoint you?"

An Xinhui asked.

"No, no. It's just that I'm too useless."

Liu Wenyan lowered his head, looking ashamed.

"Since that's the case, I wish Teacher Liu well on your journey." An Xinhui took the wooden chest from Zhou Lin and handed it to Liu Wenyan. "This is a token of our appreciation. Please accept it."

"No, no, I mustn't take it."

Liu Wenyan refused to take it. He felt both touched and ashamed. Who was he to be personally sent off by Headmaster An Xinhui?

"Take it. Give my greetings to Aunt."

After saying that, An Xinhui turned to leave. She was very graceful and dignified during the entire process, giving off a great impression.
