The intern teachers had helpless looks on their faces. Was there a need to trick them like this?
"I knew it. With the halo of being a graduate of the Nine Elite Schools, how could he not be able to recruit students?"
"Sigh, if only I had worked harder in the past and got into one of the Nine Greats. Now, I would have more opportunities."
"Come on, do you think you can get into a famous school just by working hard?"
Many people discussed in low voices. At the same time, they looked toward the few intern teachers who liked to be in the limelight. Without exception, none of them raised their hands.
No one mocked them because this was a normal situation. After all, Gu Xiuxun and the other two couldn't be viewed with common sense.
Zhang Sheng felt so awkward that he wanted to die. He wanted nothing more than to bury his head into his desk. He had always prided himself as an elite, a genius on the same level as Gao Ben and Qin Fen. However, it was only until the battle that he realized how great the disparity between them was.
However, I still have a chance. I have already made a promise with my three students. As long as I can endure a year of internship and become an official teacher, they will acknowledge me as their teacher.
At the thought of this, Zhang Sheng immediately felt much better.
It was just like how the majority of good students would take the initiative to sit in the front row during classes. The outstanding and confident intern teachers had long since filled up the front row.
Only by showing your face in front of the leaders as much as possible can you get more opportunities and recognition.
More than two hundred people were fighting for fifteen spots, and some of them were predetermined. The elimination rate was twenty to one. How could they not put in their best effort?
Ludi looked at his colleagues in the front row and pursed his lips. He thought to himself, 'I should just obediently stew pig trotters and serve Teacher Zhou well. That way, I can give myself a good evaluation.'
"Just wait and see. The final match will be in a year!"
Ludi mumbled, feeling very balanced in his heart. After all, Gu Xiuxun and the other two were very outstanding. If he were to compare himself to them, he'd be looking for trouble. His competitors were the other intern teachers.
"Very good. None of the other intern teachers met the requirements."
Ludi touched the pig trotter and glanced around. However, when his gaze landed on Sun Mo, who was sitting in the same row as him, he was so shocked that he almost cried out.
Sun Mo lifted his right hand and placed it on the table.
Oh my, you're a man who lives off a woman, why are you raising your hand?
Sun Mo sat in the last row, and there was a big guy in front of him. In addition, he raised his hand and didn't stretch out his entire arm like Gu Xiuxun and Gao Ben. Instead, his elbow was placed on the table. Hence, other than a few people in the vicinity, no one else saw him.
Zhang Hanfu glanced at Gao Ben with a gratified look in his eyes. This was because he was the one who made the decision to headhunt Gao Ben, and Gao Ben already had his mark on him. Hence, Gao Ben's achievements were due to his discerning eye for talent.
'Qin Fen, whom An Xinhui headhunted, has scrammed. This is really good. This caused her to lose quite a bit of face. The troublesome one now is Gu Xiuxun.'
Upon thinking of this, Zhang Hanfu glanced at Gu Xiuxun.
(Che, as expected of the school belle of the Myriad Daos Academy. She's really beautiful. If she's tactful and forsook the darkness for the light, then I can accept her and even give her the position of the year's head. But if she insists on following An Xinhui to the end, then sorry, I'll definitely destroy her.)
As for Zhang Lan, this graduate was the one who had submitted her application letter. From the looks of things, she hadn't been roped in by An Xinhui or Wang Su yet. Hence, he could make the first move.
The school leaders whispered to each other. Honestly speaking, they were a little disappointed with this result. However, they couldn't blame others for this. Given the Central Province Academy's current reputation, it was a little difficult to hire elite graduates from 'A' grade and 'B' grade schools.
Even if there were, they would be those who were left behind after being selected by others.
"Cough cough, since that's the case, I hereby announce that Gao Ben, Zhang Lan, and Gu Xiuxun will be teachers of the Central Province Academy from now onwards!"
After Zhang Hanfu spoke, he started to applaud.
Regardless of whether the intern teachers were sincere or not, all of them were applauding at this moment. Only Sun Mo's hand was still raised.
Ludi looked at Sun Mo, his face filled with astonishment. (Are you having diarrhea? At a time like this, even if you can't hold it in anymore, you have to endure it. What if you raise your hand? What if you get misunderstood?)
At the thought of Vice-headmaster Zhang mistakenly thinking that he had recruited enough students, but in the end, he only raised his hand to go to the toilet. (My god, I feel so embarrassed just thinking about it.)
Gu Xiuxun glanced at An Xinhui. Zhang Hanfu didn't even discuss with the school leaders, especially not listening to Headmaster An's opinion and directly announced the three of them to be qualified. This was already a serious violation of his authority.
However, An Xinhui's expression didn't change. She was able to keep her composure.
"As expected of Headmaster An whom I admire!"
After Gu Xiuxun praised in her heart, she started to feel unhappy again.
(This bastard Zhang Hanfu actually put my name at the end. Just wait and see, I'll definitely crush Gao Ben and those teachers in your faction. I'll let you know that you'll suffer a great loss if you look down on me, Gu Xiuxun.)
Zhang Hanfu pressed down with his hands, and the applause immediately stopped.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can leave. The three of you, stay behind for a while!"
Zhang Hanfu instructed.
The intern teachers all stood up. At this moment, a shout of 'Vice-headmaster Zhang' rang out in the lecture theater.
Swoosh!
Everyone subconsciously turned their heads and looked behind them.
The muscular guy jumped in fright and hurriedly dodged to the side. After that, everyone saw that Sun Mo was sitting in the last row, calmly raising his right hand.
Ludi also hurriedly shifted to the side, trying his best to avoid everyone's line of sight.
"Sun Mo, what's the matter?" After Zhang Hanfu asked, he impatiently berated, "The school leaders are all very busy. If it's a trivial matter in life, you should think of ways to settle it yourself. Don't think of looking for the leaders whenever there's a problem."
Zhang Hanfu's expression was solemn, but he felt like laughing in his heart. It seemed like the method he had set up had taken effect. This fellow Yang Cai was really quite capable!
"I'll settle my private matters. There's no need for Vice-headmaster Zhang to worry about it."
Sun Mo directly retorted. Moreover, he emphasized the word 'vice'.
Zhang Hanfu felt as if a pile of bird poop had smashed into his face. He instantly felt uncomfortable. He had been a 'vice' headmaster for over ten years, and he hated the word 'vice' the most.
"What's the matter then?"
Zhang Hanfu's tone was filled with anger.
"I've passed!"
Sun Mo spoke up. By right, when speaking to the school leaders, he should stand up out of courtesy. However, given Zhang Hanfu's attitude and the fact that they were enemies to begin with, Sun Mo couldn't be bothered with him. Hence, he sat there calmly.
"Passed what?"
Zhang Hanfu didn't react in time.
Some intern teachers looked at Sun Mo in astonishment.
"It can't be, right? He managed to recruit five students? "
"Five is a little difficult, but one or two is possible. I heard that Xuanyuan Po, who Liu Mubai thinks highly of, followed him!"
"Do the students nowadays not know how to use their brains? They dared to acknowledge a random teacher as their teacher? What do they treat the future as? "
Upon hearing these discussions, Zhang Hanfu recalled what his assistant had told him before. Sun Mo had managed to recruit Li Ziqi. Hence, his countenance turned even darker.
(That's Li Ziqi we're talking about. You're just a trash who graduated from a'D 'grade school. What qualifications do you have to teach her?)
Upon thinking of Li Ziqi's background, Zhang Hanfu wanted nothing more than to bite Sun Mo to death and snatch her away. Hence, his voice became even stricter.
"Sun Mo, if you want to join the school officially, you have to recruit five students. This condition won't change. Hence, you can forget about using unorthodox means."
After Zhang Hanfu said that, he waved his hand impatiently. "Get out!"
From Zhang Hanfu's point of view, Sun Mo wanted to make use of Li Ziqi's background to pressure him and get the school to lower the conditions. Hence, he said it in advance to shut Sun Mo up.
(If you aren't afraid of being scolded and despised for using your connections to get in through the back door, you can continue speaking.)
"Vice-headmaster Zhang, as a great teacher and a leader of the school, do you not even have the patience to listen to what others have to say?"
Sun Mo counter-asked.
Swoosh!
The moment Sun Mo said this, a commotion broke out.
The intern teachers looked at Sun Mo in astonishment. (We know that you are An Xinhui's fiance, but do you have to be so arrogant?)
Zhang Hanfu was famous for his fiery temper and would scold people for no reason. (You actually dare to doubt him?)
(No, this isn't doubt. This is already sarcasm.)
As expected, Zhang Hanfu glared and bellowed, "I never listen to nonsense."
The intern teachers near Sun Mo hurriedly gave way, deeply afraid that they would be implicated.
"I'm qualified!"
Sun Mo repeated.
"I've said it before. Unless you recruit five personal disciples, you won't be able to join the school. Do you think that one Li Ziqi can be compared to five people?"
Zhang Hanfu sneered, making the topic clear.
"Nope!"
Sun Mo smiled. "But other than her, I still have four students!"
"What are you talking about with me if you can't..."
Zhang Hanfu was like an old rooster whose neck was being grabbed by a large hand. The word 'indifferent' was stuck in his throat.
An Xinhui, who had been calm from the start, revealed a smile at this moment.
The entire lecture theater seemed to have been swept by Medusa's petrification technique. Everyone looked at Sun Mo with astonishment, surprise, and a strong sense of doubt in their eyes.
Sun Mo was able to recruit five students?
It must be fake, right? One must know that acknowledging a teacher was a major event in one's life. Even students with low aptitudes would be extremely cautious about acknowledging a teacher.
After all, Zhang Hanfu was a vice headmaster with a high status and was used to seeing storms. He quickly came up with a response. "Sun Mo, you mustn't joke about such matters. If it's proven that you're lying, even if you're An Xinhui's fiance, I'll still expel you."
This old fellow was so cunning.
Sun Mo cursed silently. Zhang Hanfu had intentionally brought up the topic of 'fiance' because he wanted to hint to everyone that he had relied on An Xinhui's students and not his own strength.
"What do you mean by this? Are you suspecting that I'm lying? "
Although he used honorifics, Sun Mo didn't have the slightest hint of respect. His tone was extremely unyielding.
This scene caused many intern teachers to be extremely shocked. After that, they sneaked glances at An Xinhui. If it wasn't for An Xinhui, Sun Mo probably wouldn't have the guts to confront Zhang Hanfu head-on, right?
"Since you're not afraid, why don't you let me verify it?"
Zhang Hanfu sneered. (Trying to stump me with such a question? You're underestimating a vice headmaster's adaptability.)
