"Principal Lu, is it difficult?" Matsushima Ki asked again when he saw that Lu Chaoge did not agree.
She spoke in English, which was not difficult at all for Lu Chaoge, who had studied in the United States.
It was not difficult, but it was very difficult.
Before the Wuren Business Mission Group came, the school was worried that Fang Yan would do something that would affect the school's reputation again. So, the board of directors and the management specially entrusted Lu Chaoge and Fang Yan to discuss how to appease Comrade Fang Yan.
Now, Fang Yan kept quiet, but the Wuren Business Mission Group took the initiative to come to them.
Lu Chaoge knew that if she agreed to Matsushima Ki's request, then things would develop in an uncontrollable direction.
Even if she was the vice-principal of Rosefinch Secondary and thought that she had a good relationship with Fang Yan … If Fang Yan was determined to do something, then she could not stop him.
She could not say no, because the more she refused, the more curious Matsushima Ki and the students would be.
Moreover, the two schools were friendly. When the teachers of Rosefinch Secondary led a team to Wuren, Wuren did their best and did not hide anything. If Rosefinch Secondary hid anything, it would affect the relationship between the two schools.
They would ask, "What are you afraid of?"
"No problem." Lu Chaoge smiled and agreed. "Of course, I need to communicate with Mr. Fang Yan."
Matsushima Ki smiled and said, "That's what I should do."
She said to the teachers and students who came with the group in Japanese, "Dear teachers and students, I propose to audit a language class. Do you have any objections?"
"No." The students of Wuren High School answered with a smile. Their voices were very uniform and soft. They would not disturb the students of Class 9 and the surrounding classes.
Lu Chaoge stood at the door of the classroom and said, "Mr. Fang Yan, I have something to discuss with you."
Fang Yan walked to Lu Chaoge and said, "Principal Lu, what's the matter?"
"The people behind me are the teachers and students of Wuren High School. They are very interested in you and want to listen to your class," Lu Chaoge said.
"Are you interested in me?" Fang Yan laughed. "Principal Lu must be very worried, right?"
"Fang Yan …" Lu Chaoge was exasperated.
"I listened to you guys and stayed quiet. I didn't do anything." Fang Yan was ordered to 'stay quiet' by the school, so he was holding back his anger. Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally wouldn't give up so easily. Although his sarcasm would only make Lu Chaoge and the others feel a little uncomfortable … but thinking of their discomfort, Fang Yan felt much better. After all, Lu Chaoge represented Rosefinch Secondary before and now. "Now they're taking the initiative to look for trouble …"
"They're not looking for trouble, they're just listening." Lu Chaoge ignored Fang Yan's poisonous tongue and said aloud.
"I understand." Fang Yan nodded. "But if something happens, I won't be responsible."
"What will happen?"
"I'm so handsome, what if their teachers or students confess to me?"
"You're thinking too much." Lu Chaoge didn't want to talk to Fang Yan anymore. Matsushima Ki and the others were still waiting for them. Although Matsushima Ki didn't speak the Hua Xia language well, there were many translators in the delegation who were proficient in the Hua Xia language. Because of the long-term exchange between the two schools, some students were also very familiar with the Hua Xia language. If they heard the conversation between the two, it would be such a shameful thing. "It's decided. Make the arrangements. "
Lu Chaoge turned around and walked to Matsushima Ki. She said, "Mr. Fang Yan said that he welcomes the delegation from Wuren to come and listen."
"Thank you." Matsushima Ki said. She then walked in front of Fang Yan and said in a non-standard Hua Xia language, "Thank you. Mr. Fang. "
"You're a guest from afar." Fang Yan smiled. He made an inviting gesture and said, "Please come in."
There were 20 students in the delegation from Wuren. Including Matsushima Ki and the other four teachers, there were a total of 25 people. Since Matsushima Ki was the vice-principal of Wuren Senior High School, according to the principle of reciprocity, the vice-principal of Rosefinch Secondary, Lu Chaoge was in charge of all the reception work.
There were more than 30 people in the classroom all of a sudden, so the tables and chairs were definitely not enough.
Fang Yan thought about it and said, "Male students, can you give up your chairs and let the ladies use them?"
"There's no need." Matsushima Ki heard Fang Yan's words clearly and stopped him. He said, "We're just here to listen. We can't disturb the students in class. We can just stand at the back … "
Fang Yan smiled and said, "You have your ideas, and we have our ways. Hua Xia is a country of etiquette that has been around for thousands of years. Hua Xia men are also brave and generous gentlemen. How can we sit and let our guests from afar stand? "
The boys immediately responded. They pulled out their chairs and gave them to the ladies from the delegation from Wuren and Rosefinch Secondary.
Matsushima Ki couldn't help but look at Fang Yan in a higher light. He thought to himself, Regardless of whether this young teacher is talented or not, he's very good at dealing with people.
Due to historical reasons, the citizens of Hua Xia and Japan had always been conflicted. Fang Yan asked the students to give up their seats because they were guests from afar. In addition, he especially pointed out that all Chinese men were brave and generous gentlemen, and he put bravery in front of generosity. The subtext was that when we should beat you up, we will still beat you up, but when we pay attention to etiquette, we will not be looked down upon.
These guests from Japan were very self-disciplined. The girls who got their seats automatically walked toward the aisles and lined up one by one. The boys who didn't have chairs stood side by side by the wall according to their height. They didn't say a word and had a proper attitude, as if they had undergone special training.
After everyone settled down, Fang Yan continued his lecture. He said, "There's a saying that goes, 'The beauty of knowledge lies in confusing people.' The beauty of poetry lies in inciting men and women to have an affair … This is a joke, but it can also be a fact. Why is it said that poetry can incite men and women to have an affair? It's because it's subtle and obscure, and it makes people's hearts skip a beat. It can shock the spirit and soul, and it blends in with the vicissitudes of society. "
Fang Yan looked at the students in the audience and said with a smile, "At your age, have you ever been moved by a love poem? Conquered by a poem? Have you ever thought of writing a love poem for the person you like … I don't need you to answer this question. I know there will be. "
The students in the audience laughed out loud.
At their best age, meeting the most beautiful you, how could they be willing to be mediocre and refuse to confess?
They fantasized about love, seeing it as the most important possession in life. They were willing to do all kinds of crazy things for their other half.
Fighting with their love rivals in the bar, riding motorcycles on the road until late at night, sitting in the park on a winter night, not willing to part even if it was freezing, saving half a year's worth of pocket money just to buy the birthday gift that the other person liked, holding hands and walking through street after street without buying anything …
They might find it a little stupid when they were adults, but now, when they thought of these things, they felt sweet to their bones.
Youth was like poetry, and they used their youth to write poems.
"Since ancient times, our predecessors have left us a rich treasure trove of poems." Fang Yan scanned the audience and recited with a voice full of emotion, "Tearful eyes ask flowers, flowers do not speak, chaotic red flies over the swing. Tender like water, a good night is like a dream, enduring the road back to the magpie bridge. If love lasts for a long time, how can we stay together day and night? I live at the head of the Yangtze River, you live at the tail, thinking of you every day but not seeing you, drinking the water of the Yangtze River together … It's vivid, thousands of years later, as if there's still a beautiful scene before us. "
Fang Yan looked at the students in the audience with a smile and said, "What's your favorite poem? Or which one? "
"Ten years of life and death, not thinking, naturally unforgettable," a student answered.
"Searching for him in the crowd for thousands of times, suddenly looking back, that person is there, in the dimly lit place," another person answered.
"Flowers drift and water flow, a kind of lovesickness, two kinds of idle worries …"
…
Every student had the most beautiful poem in their heart, so everyone answered very enthusiastically. Qin Yitian skipped class and was not around. More than 30 of the 40 students in Class 9 answered this question.
Matsushima Ki saw this and nodded to himself, thinking that the teacher's lecture was not boring and could stimulate the students to participate. This young teacher did a good job.
Some of the students understood the Hua Xia language and could directly feel the beauty of the poems that Fang Yan spoke.
There were also some students who did not speak the Hua Xia language well, so they could only rely on translators to help.
Of course, although the translators knew how to translate the language, they were limited by their level of education or did not have a deep understanding of the poem, so the effect of translating into Japanese was naturally greatly reduced.
When the class was about to end, Fang Yan allowed the students to ask questions freely.
A middle-aged man with sparse hair stepped forward and spoke in fluent Hua Xia language. "Teacher, hello. I am Saburo Fujino, a national studies teacher at Wuren University. Just now, when I heard the beauty of your poems, my heart was greatly shaken … Hua Xia culture has a long history. Poems from the Tang and Song dynasties can be heard in any corner of the world. "
"What I don't understand is, the Hua Xia people have so many years of culture and history and have produced so many outstanding sages. Why is there such a strange saying now?"
"What is it?" Fang Yan asked with a smile. The troublemaker is here? With this thought in mind, he subconsciously glanced at Lu Chaoge, who was sitting in the back row.
"The culture of the Tang Dynasty is in Japan, the culture of the Ming Dynasty is in South Korea, and the culture of the Republic of China is in Taiwan," Saburo Fujino said with a smile as he adjusted his glasses. "Why is there such a saying? Could it be that the people of Hua Xia are unwilling to inherit the excellent culture left behind by their ancestors? "
