After turning left and entering the Xuefu Road, Zhang Pan walked for 700 meters and discovered that the right side was still the Central Province Academy's courtyard wall. There were ginkgo trees leaping over the wall, and they were stained with rainwater that hadn't dried yet.
"It can't be, right? The Central Province Academy is so big? "
Zhang Pan was completely shocked. This campus was ten times bigger than the previous one. How many teachers and students could be accommodated here?
"Calm down, don't embarrass yourself."
Liu Tong reminded. However, his hands trembled as he took out his tobacco pipe. He stuffed a pot of tobacco into it and lit it up.
Liu Tong would only smoke when he was frustrated. But this time around, it wasn't because he was frustrated. He wanted to suppress his shock.
(My heavens, am I going to be a teacher in such a big campus?)
(This feels a little surreal!)
If it wasn't for the fact that Sun Mo's fame was great enough, Liu Tong would have started to suspect that Sun Mo was toying with him.
(What capabilities do I have?)
Liu Tong felt trepidation. What if he didn't teach the students well and lost face?
Finally, after the two of them walked for half the street, they stood before the Central Province Academy's gate.
Compared to the vast campus, this gate seemed a little shabby. However, this was also a rule set by the first headmaster back then.
When running a school, one had to be simple and unpretentious. They had to focus on educating people and not pursue fame and wealth. Hence, the Central Province Academy had renovated a few times and expanded the campus. But when it came to the gate, they would do their best to save money.
"So many people?"
Liu Tong was shocked again.
He knew that this was the Central Province Academy's student recruitment meet, and there would be many students. But wasn't this a little too many?
The commotion of the crowd rang out incessantly. It was like dumplings that were about to be placed into the pot. All of them were squeezed together.
"What... what should we do now?"
Zhang Pan gulped down a mouthful of saliva and was very nervous. "T... teacher, I... I won't be expelled, right?"
No matter how big the school was, it was impossible for it to recruit so many students. Hence, there would surely be an examination. He was a student from a small place, how could he compete with others?
Zhang Pan knew that those famous schools would have a quota of students expelled every year. At the end of the year, there would be an elimination system.
Liu Tong fell silent. He didn't dare to guarantee anything.
Mister Qin sat in the gatehouse, holding a teapot in one hand and occasionally taking a sip of tea. He held a palm-leaf fan in the other, fanning himself from time to time.
"Another pair of bumpkins!"
Mister Qin immediately saw Liu Tong and Zhang Pan.
It couldn't be helped. Of these two people, one was short, dark, and muscular. He carried a long-handled hammer on his back and looked like a roasted potato. The other was a cripple, and he couldn't be any more eye-catching.
"Sigh, it's not good to be famous. All sorts of people want to come to the Central Province Academy. Tsk, why don't they take a piss and look at their own reflection?"
Mister Qin curled his lips with a look of disdain.
He felt that the school's style had been dragged down by Liu Tong and Qin Wentian. With their appearances, the school shouldn't want them.
However, Teacher Sun was truly amazing. He single-handedly brought the school back to life within a year. Now that he thought about it, the old headmaster really had great foresight when he decided on this marriage.
Seeing Liu Tong and Zhang Pan walking over, Mister Qin no longer dared to sit. He immediately stood up and squeezed out a smile.
This was the rule set by Sun Mo. The first thing the gatekeeper had to learn was to smile and treat others with courtesy.
Honestly speaking, it was very troublesome and wouldn't be as carefree as before. However, the six gatekeepers definitely wouldn't dare to say any nonsense or neglect Sun Mo.
This was because Sun Mo would fire people. The logistics department head and Vice-headmaster Zhang were the greatest examples.
Naturally, even if there weren't such cases, Mister Qin would still resolutely follow the rules set by Sun Mo. Because ever since he came to power, the salary of the school's employees had increased by half. During festivals, they would even be given rice flour oil.
One wouldn't be able to find a second job with such good benefits in the entire Jinling.
"Praise be to Teacher Sun!"
Mister Qin cheered in his heart and took the initiative to ask, "The two of you, is there any trouble?"
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Mister Qin + 500. Respect (5,100/10000).
"May I ask if Great Teacher Sun Mo is in the school?"
Liu Tong smiled. "If he is, where can I find him usually?"
"You are..."
Mister Qin asked a routine question. If it was some wealthy clan looking for Sun Mo, he would say he didn't know. But if it was a great teacher, he would naturally bring someone over.
"I'm Liu Tong, I got to know Great Teacher Sun at the 2-star great teacher examination."
Liu Tong took out Sun Mo's recommendation letter and passed it to Mister Qin. He hesitated a little but still didn't dare to say that he was here to apply for a job.
If he failed, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?
"So, you are Teacher Sun's friend!"
The smile on Mister Qin's face grew even more radiant. He was like a sunflower that was about to be harvested. All the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together.
"I will bring you over!"
As Mister Qin spoke, he walked out of the gatehouse and went to help Liu Tong with his luggage.
No matter how ugly the other party was, if he was Sun Mo's friend, he would be a handsome guy that could add 10 points!
"No need! No need! "
Liu Tong hurriedly rejected. "How can I accept this?"
"It's fine, it's what I should do!"
Mister Qin felt like shouting when he saw Liu Tong grabbing onto his luggage. (This is a great opportunity to curry favor with Sun Mo. You better let go!)
(Do you know how difficult it is for me to find a chance to become familiar with Sun Mo?)
"As expected of a famous school. Even a gatehouse is so polite."
Zhang Pan sighed ruefully.
Zhang Pan had been to so many places. Because of his teacher's figure and his lame leg, he had suffered a lot of discrimination. But here, there was no discrimination at all.
"Even if I cultivate to death from exhaustion, I will stay here."
Zhang Pan silently vowed.
...
For a famous person like Sun Mo, everyone knew of him. Mister Qin casually asked a few people and knew that Sun Mo had gone to the darkness illusion dojo.
"That was constructed by Great Teacher Sun using his darkness illusion gemstone. Right now, it has already become a symbolic building of our school."
Mister Qin introduced.
Liu Tong and Liu Tong were exultant as they listened. They glanced left and right, wanting nothing more than to summon a darkness illusion to fight.
"Teacher Liu?"
Sun Mo was currently guiding a few students. When he saw Liu Tong, he immediately wore a smile and came over. "You have made me wait so bitterly!"
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Several hundred gazes in the surroundings immediately turned over with scrutinizing gazes.
"Who is this person? He can actually make Teacher Sun so agitated? "
"He looks so ugly!"
"Shh, are you courting death? This person is clearly Sun Mo's friend!"
The teachers and students in the surroundings whispered to each other.
Liu Tong felt immense pressure.
"I'm sorry, I have an esteemed guest coming from afar and need to entertain him. Everyone, please forgive me!"
Sun Mo expressed his apology to a few students.
"I don't dare to accept it! I don't dare to accept it! "
Liu Tong hurriedly waved his hands. He truly couldn't accept the word 'esteemed guest'.
"Let's go to the Drunken Immortal Inn. I'll hold a welcoming banquet for you!"
Sun Mo pulled Liu Tong's hand.
Liu Tong felt moved in his heart, but his feet didn't move. "Teacher Sun, I thank you for your appreciation and trust, but I... I'm not sure if I can establish a foothold in the Central Province Academy."
After speaking, Liu Tong lowered his head.
Such words would destroy his prestige. However, Sun Mo trusted him. If he couldn't establish a foothold, wouldn't he be throwing away Sun Mo's face?
"Teacher Liu, I believe you can do it."
Sun Mo patted Liu Tong's shoulder and smiled amicably.
(Please, your potential value is extremely high and you're also hardworking enough. The only thing you lack is a platform to display your talent.)
According to this trajectory, Liu Tong would most probably become a 5-star great teacher. It was fine to headhunt him now, but after he became famous, the price tag wouldn't be this little anymore.
Mister Qin, who was at the side, was stunned.
(Huh?
You came here to be a teacher?
And you were headhunted by Sun Mo?
You must be lying, right?
Someone like you?
(Wrong, this isn't choosing a husband. So what if you're ugly?
It's fine as long as you have talent!)
(As expected, compared to Great Teacher Sun, I'm just a shallow person. No wonder I can only be a gatekeeper, guarding the gates for my entire life. As for Sun Mo, he's already a 2-star great teacher whose name shook Jinling at the age of 21. He's also a vice-headmaster.)
"So it's Great Teacher Liu, sorry for my rudeness!"
Mister Qin hurriedly greeted again, his smile even more radiant than before.
...
Not long after Sun Mo and Liu Tong left the school, the news of headhunting spread like wildfire.
"Have you heard? Sun Mo headhunted a great teacher. Is he going to establish his own great teacher circle? "
"I don't know, but why didn't he choose the members in the school?"
"Don't think about it. The requirements for Sun Mo's great teacher circle would surely be very high."
The students were still fine, but the teachers were very shocked. This was especially so for some teachers. They felt as though they had eaten lemons, and their stomachs were extremely sour.
For those powerful great teachers, they would establish great teacher circles. Regardless of whether it was to explore the Darkness Continent or to take up a post in a school, the competition rate would definitely be higher.
Many great teachers had long since been waiting for Sun Mo to establish a great teacher circle so that they could squeeze their way in. But now, a great teacher from another school had taken advantage of them.
Moreover, they heard that he was very ugly.
This was simply infuriating.
Liu Mubai sat in his office and listened to the discussions of his colleagues. His hand that was holding onto the brush paused.
"Great teacher circle!"
Liu Mubai sighed ruefully and felt envious.
Usually speaking, 3-star was the lowest level to establish a great teacher circle. As for Liu Mubai, even after achieving the achievement of 3 stars in a year, he didn't think about it.
It was because it was too difficult to maintain a great teacher circle. But now, Sun Mo wanted to do it.
"I really can't win against them!"
Liu Mubai wanted to sigh, but he couldn't hold it in anymore. (No, I mustn't give up. I still have a chance. I have to change the situation during the 3-star great teacher examination.)
...
At the same time, when Sun Mo left the school, a figure who had been guarding outside the school gate and monitoring the situation silently followed him.
When he saw Sun Mo entering the Drunken Immortal Inn, he immediately went to inform the boss.
"Sun Mo is out. He is treating someone to a meal in the Drunken Immortal Inn!"
The figure reported.
"Very good, the prey has finally left its nest. Inform everyone to move out. We will take Sun Mo's life today."
The boss who was wearing a black mask gave the order.
...
In the Drunken Immortal Inn, after three rounds of wine and five different dishes.
Sun Mo looked toward Zhang Pan.
"T... teacher!"
Zhang Pan hurriedly put down the chicken drumstick in his hand and stood up.
"Sit down and eat!"
Sun Mo smiled. "Rest for a few days first. A week later, I'll help you treat your right leg!"
Although it could be treated now, Sun Mo wanted to use Divine Sight to observe the situation in more detail.
"Teacher..."
Zhang Pan immediately broke into tears.
"After your leg is healed, you must work hard and not lose face for your teacher."
Sun Mo encouraged.
"I will!"
Zhang Pan hurriedly promised.
After drinking a few more cups of wine, Sun Mo glanced at the sky and felt that it was about time. Hence, he settled the bill.
"Let's go, the hotel should have been arranged."
Sun Mo stood up.
