Since he is repeatedly picked on by CHOI, LEUNG believes that he will be the one to be sacked and therefore plans to look for a new job.

CHOI is so impressed by SZE’s enthusiasm and commitment and has decided to adopt her proposal, which has irked a number of teaching staff. Two students have got into a fight at school.
