Fang Yan didn't want to go to the principal's office to talk to him. If it wasn't necessary, he didn't want others to know that he had a close relationship with the principal. With his current status and achievements, he really didn't need this kind of thing to make himself look good.
He received a call from Zhong Deyi on his way to work. Zhong Deyi asked him to come to his office for a chat.
He had just started work in the morning, and Zhong Deyi looked very busy. After making a few calls, he put down the phone and explained to Fang Yan, "It's been so many days since school started, and there are still people who want to send their children to our school. Some of them are rejected directly, and some of them can't be rejected directly, so I have to make a phone call to explain. In the past, everyone called me Zhong Da Pao. I said whatever I wanted and scolded whoever I wanted. Now that I'm at Rosefinch, I have to tuck my tail between my legs and behave myself. "
Fang Yan smiled and said, "A selfless heart is the greatest blessing in the world. Principal Zhong has a selfish heart now. "
"Yes. I have a selfish heart now. " Zhong Deyi nodded and sat opposite Fang Yan. He held the tea that his assistant had brought and said, "In the past, when I was in Ivy League, I had to compete with Rosefinch, Brown, and even with No.1 High School, No.2 High School, Huacheng High School, Hua Xia Normal University High School, and other public schools — it's different now. Rosefinch is already the top private high school, and we don't have to compete with other private high schools anymore. Even compared to those public schools, our enrollment rate and the overall quality of our students are among the best. The more this is the case, the more careful I have to be, and the more I have to tuck my tail between my legs — "
Zhong Deyi took a sip of tea and said, "I like the phrase 'dare to be the first in the world', but I have to admit that 'the bird that stands out' is more in line with our current situation — our Rosefinch Secondary is the best private school in Huacheng, and we have the intention of expanding to the whole country — at this time, we have to be more careful."
"Principal Zhong, I'm sorry." Fang Yan smiled and said, "Who asked you to be so capable? I invited you here to suffer. "
Zhong Deyi laughed heartily and said, "Fang Yan, your words prove that you have never wholeheartedly devoted yourself to your career. If he was doing something he dreamed of doing, how could he feel that it was hard? When you were a teacher at Rosefinch Secondary, you single-handedly promoted the reform of Rosefinch and even the entire Huacheng language system. You put in so much time and energy. Did you think it was hard at that time? "
"I won't." Zhong Deyi waved his hand and resolutely said, "I'm willing to do what I like, no matter how tiring it is. To be able to see the revival of education is the greatest hope of my life. So, not only do I not feel tired, I also want to thank you and Old Zhang. If it weren't for your kind invitation, if it weren't for Old Zhang's benevolent demeanor, I, Zhong Deyi, would not be able to enjoy such pleasure for a while. "
Those who served the country and the people were all great heroes.
Zhang Shaofeng had his own selfish motives, but he was still able to weigh the pros and cons in the face of major issues.
Zhong Deyi wholeheartedly wanted to revitalize the education in Huacheng. He wanted to train the students into talents with comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, and physique, or practical talents. What he was most afraid of was teachers who only cared about credits and used rigid textbooks to teach a group of nerdy students. They could memorize obscure ancient texts, but couldn't distinguish wheat from onions. They could draw a map of the world, but didn't dare to take a trip around their own small city. They could remember the famous words of ancient and modern sages, but didn't know how to pour a cup of hot tea and a bowl of hot rice for their parents.
To him, it was a national disaster.
So, Zhong Deyi had been working hard for this, and often wrote articles to discuss the reform of education. Unfortunately, these articles did not attract the attention of the relevant people.
Even so, Fang Yan still admired this kind of man. Because when others were silent, he was willing to stand up and make a sound.
Sometimes, speaking the truth was a kind of courage. How many people had such courage?
"No matter what, you still have to take care of your body." Fang Yan advised him seriously, "I know that Rosefinch has more and more problems, and I also know that you have too much pressure on your shoulders. Do you still remember? The first time we met, it was not a happy time. But the first time we met, I felt that you were the leader that our Rosefinch Secondary needs. Later, I discussed this matter with Headmaster Zhang, and he also felt that you are very suitable. It is not easy to find a suitable leader. If you get sick from exhaustion, I don't have much confidence that you can maintain the results that you have achieved all these years. "
"That's not right, you think too highly of me," Zhong Deyi said with a smile, "Whether I am here or not, Rosefinch is still Rosefinch. All these years, Headmaster Zhang and I have been doing one thing, which is to make management procedures. As long as there is a scientific and perfect management system and a rigorous and responsible supervision system, Rosefinch Secondary will be able to make great strides forward, and it will not be led astray because of one or a few people's incompetence or wrong decisions. However, I still like your praise for me. "
"That's the other way around." Fang Wei said with a smile, "You are the headmaster, and I am just a security guard. You should be the one praising my work. How can a security guard praise a headmaster? "
"Who said that a security guard can't praise a headmaster? Even a security guard is willing to praise a headmaster, which proves that I am a competent headmaster. Besides, didn't you say that there is no distinction between high and low professions? Why are there differences between a headmaster and a security guard now? "
Fang Yan looked at Zhong Deyi and asked, "Headmaster Zhong also knows about this?"
"Yes. It has such a big impact, how could I not know? " Zhong Deyi looked at Fang Yan and said, "Last night, when I was having dinner with the army chief, he told this matter as a joke at the dinner table. He said that his soldiers are unruly and rarely listen to people. I didn't expect that when it comes to our Rosefinch, they would be convinced by a small security guard. There are only a few people in the security office, and my first reaction was that it was you. I asked someone, and sure enough, it was you. "
"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 the bottom of my heart. I think that if anyone can understand me, you will understand best — we are comrades, comrades in arms, brothers with the same ideals and goals. Fang Yan, you really don't want to consider my suggestion — I know you can do a good job as a security guard, but you can do more things. If you are willing, I will give you the position of headmaster of Rosefinch Secondary. "
Here he goes again!
This was not the first time they talked about this. Last time, Fang Yan had clearly refused.
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 put forward a suggestion to change his job.
Fang Yan pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhong Deyi and said, "I want to take revenge."
"What?" Zhong Deyi was stunned and asked, "Revenge?"
"Yes. I want to take revenge, "Fang Yan said with a smile. "My father died so unjustly, I want to take revenge for him."
Zhong Deyi raised his eyebrows and said, "Shouldn't this kind of thing be handled by the police?"
According to normal people's point of view, if someone in the family was injured or tragically injured, it should be reported to the police. What's the point of taking revenge?
"This matter needs to be handled by me," Fang Yan explained.
"You can take revenge while working." Zhong Deyi said, "You can also look for the murderer while working. Both won't delay —"
Zhong Deyi thought that the revenge Fang Yan mentioned was to find a way to find evidence, so he made this suggestion.
"There is a beast hiding inside my body. If I don't let this beast out, I might hurt myself. But if I let this beast out in the school, it might hurt the students. So, I can't accept your invitation — "
Zhong Deyi said with a face full of regret, "You're a genius in education. What a pity."
Fang Yan smiled and said, "When my heart calms down again, I might go back to school to teach."
"I'll wait for you to come back," Zhong Deyi nodded and said. "Yesterday, I talked to Director Lu on the phone. I was going to submit a report to her, but she said that the matter of Rosefinch Secondary should be discussed with you —"
"Really?" Fang Yan was stunned and asked, "What is it?"
Zhong Deyi walked back to his desk and took a document and said, "Take a look first."
Fang Yan took the document and glanced at it. On it were the words "Rosefinch Brand Expansion Plan."
Fang Yan didn't open the folder and read it carefully. Instead, he looked at Zhong Deyi and asked, "You mean — to build a branch campus?"
"That's right." Zhong Deyi smiled and nodded. "I think it's time to take this step."
"Why?"
"Rosefinch's brand has matured. Now, not only the parents of students in Huacheng want to send their children to Rosefinch to study, but parents of students in other cities also want to send their children to Rosefinch to study. Our Rosefinch's brand influence has been built. Rosefinch's reputation is well-known, and Rosefinch Secondary School can't accommodate so many people. Why don't we take this opportunity to take a step forward? Building a Rosefinch Secondary in every first-tier city in the country is something I've always wanted to do. "
Fang Yan could see the excitement in Zhong Deyi's bones and the undisguised excitement in his eyes. When he looked at Fang Yan, he was a little worried that Fang Yan would reject his proposal.
This was an aggressive man. He was willing to burn all his energy and wisdom for his career.
"I agree," Fang Yan said with an extremely solemn tone.
