Fang Yan didn't want to go to the principal's office to talk to the principal. If it wasn't necessary, he didn't want others to know that he had a close relationship with the principal. With his current achievements and status, he really didn't need this kind of thing to flatter himself.
On his way to work, he received a call from Zhong Deyi, who asked him to come to his office for a chat.
Zhong Deyi looked very busy when he got to work in the morning. After making several phone calls in a row, he put down the phone and explained to Fang Yan, "School has been open for so many days, and there are still people who want to send their children to our school. Some are rejected directly, and some cannot be rejected directly, so we have to call to explain again. In the past, everyone called me Zhong Dapao. I could say whatever I wanted and scold whoever I wanted. Now that I am in Suzaku, I have to behave myself."
Fang Yan smiled and said, "If you are selfless, the world will be wide open to you. But Principal Zhong is selfish right now."
"Yes. I feel selfish now." Zhong Deyi nodded and sat down opposite Fang Yan, holding the tea brought by his assistant, and said: "When I was in Ivy League, I had to compete with Suzaku, Brown, and even No. 1 Middle School, No. 2 Middle School, Huacheng Middle School, East China Normal University Affiliated Middle School and other public famous schools - now it's different, Suzaku is already the number one private middle school, and there is no longer any competition with other private middle schools. Even compared with those public schools, our admission rate and the comprehensive quality of our students are also among the best. The more this is the case, the more cautious I have to be, and the more I have to behave myself -"
Zhong Deyi took a sip of the tea and said, "I like the saying 'dare to be the first in the world', but I have to admit that 'the first bird to stick its head out gets shot' is more in line with our national conditions. Our Suzaku Middle School is the best private school in Huacheng, and we also want to radiate to the whole country. At this time, we have to be cautious."
"I'm sorry, Principal Zhong." Fang Yan said with a smile, "Who made you so capable? I invited you here just to let you suffer."
Zhong Deyi laughed and said, "Fang Yan, what you said proves that you have never devoted yourself to your career. If you were doing something you always dreamed of, how could you feel it was hard? When you were a teacher at Suzaku Middle School, you promoted the reform of the Chinese language system in Suzaku and even the entire Huacheng. You devoted so much time and energy. Did you feel it was hard at that time?"
"No." Zhong Deyi waved his hand and said firmly: "Doing what you like, no matter how tired you are, you will feel happy. Being able to see the revival of education is my greatest expectation in my life. Therefore, not only do I not feel tired, I also want to thank you and Lao Zhang. If it weren't for your kind invitation, if Lao Zhang hadn't taken the initiative to give up his seat to me, I, Zhong Deyi, would not be able to enjoy such pleasure for a while."
Those who serve the country and the people are all great heroes.
Zhang Shaofeng has selfish motives, but he is still able to distinguish the importance of some major issues.
Zhong Deyi is determined to revitalize Huacheng education. He wants to train students to be comprehensive talents or practical talents with all-round development of morality, intelligence and physique. What he fears most is that teachers who only care about credits will teach a group of nerdy students with rigid textbooks. They can recite obscure ancient Chinese texts, but cannot distinguish between wheat and green onions. They can draw a world map, but dare not take a trip around their own small city. They remember the famous sayings of ancient and modern sages, but cannot pour a cup of hot tea or a bowl of hot rice for their parents.
To him, it was a national disaster.
Therefore, Zhong Deyi has been working hard for this and often writes articles to discuss education reform. Unfortunately, his articles did not attract the attention of relevant people.
Even so, Fang Yan still admires such a man, because when others are silent, he is willing to stand up and speak out.
Sometimes, telling the truth is a kind of courage. How many people have such courage
"No matter what, you still have to take care of your health." Fang Yan said earnestly, "I know that there are more and more things happening in Suzaku, and I also know that you are under too much pressure - do you remember? Our first meeting was not a pleasant one. But the first time we met, I felt that you were exactly the leader that our Suzaku needed. Later, I discussed this matter with Principal Zhang, and he also felt that you were very suitable - it is not easy to find a suitable leader. If you get sick from exhaustion, I don't have much confidence that the achievements made over the years can be maintained."
"That's not right. You praise me too much." Zhong Deyi said with a smile, "Suzaku is still Suzaku whether I am here or not. For the past few years, Principal Zhang and I have been doing one thing - that is, procedural management. As long as there is a scientific and perfect control mechanism and a rigorous and responsible supervision mechanism, Suzaku Middle School will be able to move forward in great strides and will not be led astray by the incompetence or wrong decisions of one or a few people - but I still like your praise of me."
"That's the opposite of what you said." Fang Wei said with a smile: "You are the principal, and I am just a security guard. You should be the one praising my work. How can a security guard praise the principal?"
"Who said that security guards can't praise the principal? Even the security guards are willing to praise the principal, which proves that I am doing a competent job as the principal. Besides, didn't you say that there is no distinction between high and low professions? Why is there a distinction between principals and security guards now?"
Fang Yan looked at Zhong Deyi and asked, "Does Principal Zhong also know about this?"
"Yes. How could I not know about such a big impact?" Zhong Deyi looked at Fang Yan and said, "When I was having dinner with the army chief last night, he told this matter as a joke at the dinner table - he said that his soldiers were unruly and rarely obeyed others, but he didn't expect that when they came to our Suzaku, they were convinced by a small security guard. There are only a few people in the security department, and my first reaction was to know that they were talking about you. I asked someone and it turned out to be you."
"It's just a few jokes. I hope I didn't cause any trouble for the school." Fang Yan said with a smile.
Zhong Deyi looked at Fang Yan with burning eyes and said, "Fang Yan, you are talented. You are also caring. Every word you said touched my heart. I think if anyone can understand me, you understand it the best. We are comrades, brothers-in-arms, brothers with common ideals and goals. Fang Yan, do you really not consider my suggestion? I know you can do a good job as a security guard, but you can do more. If you are willing, I will give you the position of principal of Suzaku Middle School?"
here we go again!
This issue was not the first time it was discussed, and Fang Yan had clearly refused last time.
When Fang Yan received Zhong Deyi's call, he had already guessed his purpose. Sure enough, his guess was getting more and more accurate. Zhong Deyi once again proposed to change his job.
Fang Yan pondered for a while, looked at Zhong Deyi and said, "I want revenge."
"What?" Zhong Deyi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Revenge?"
"Yes. I want revenge." Fang Yan said with a smile. "My father died so unjustly. I want to avenge him."
Zhong Deyi raised his eyebrows and said, "Shouldn't such a matter be handed over to the police?"
According to normal people, if someone in your family is injured or badly hurt, you should call the police and let them handle it. How can you seek revenge on your own
"I need to handle this matter personally." Fang Yan explained.
"You can take revenge while you work." Zhong Deyi said, "You can also look for the murderer while you work, so you can do both without delay-----"
Zhong Deyi thought that what Fang Yan meant by revenge was to find evidence by any means possible, so he made such a suggestion.
"There is a beast hidden in my body. If I don't let this beast out, it may hurt myself. However, if I let this beast out in school, it may hurt the students. Therefore, I cannot accept your invitation-----"
Zhong Deyi looked regretful and said, "You are a great educator, what a pity."
Fang Yan smiled and said, "When my heart calms down again, maybe I will go back to school to teach again."
"Wait for you to come back." Zhong Deyi nodded and said. "I had a phone call with Director Lu yesterday. I was going to submit a report to her, but she said that she would just discuss the matter of Suzaku Middle School with you-----"
"Really?" Fang Yan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhong Deyi walked back to his desk, took out a document, and said, "Take a look first."
Fang Yan took the document and took a look at it. It said "Suzaku Brand Expansion Plan".
Fang Yan did not open the folder to read it carefully, but looked at Zhong Deyi and asked, "Do you mean to establish a branch school?"
"That's right." Zhong Deyi nodded with a smile and said, "I think it's time to take this step."
"Why?"
"The brand of Suzaku is mature. Now, not only parents of students in Huacheng want to send their children to our Suzaku, but also parents of students in other cities want to send their children to our Suzaku. Our Suzaku brand influence has been established. Suzaku is well-known, and the Suzaku school itself cannot accommodate so many people. Why don't we take the opportunity to move forward? Building a Suzaku middle school in every first-tier city in the country is what I have always wanted to do."
Fang Yan could see the excitement in Zhong Deyi's heart, the undisguised excitement in his eyes, and a little bit of worry when he looked at him, worried that he had rejected his proposal.
This is an aggressive man who is willing to burn all his energy and wisdom for his cause.
"I agree." Fang Yan said in a very serious tone. (To be continued)
