Chapter 25: Betting on your career
Teacher Wang hurried to Principal Zeng Lingji's office.
There's something strange about him.
After all, he is just a class teacher, and a lot of work is arranged by grade director Liao. If there is anything, he will ask the principal to call him directly.
"Principal Zeng." Teacher Wang came in after knocking on the door.
Zeng Lingji asked: "Did any student in your class participate in the Mathematical Olympiad Winter Camp and compete in the finals?"
Teacher Wang was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Yes."
He didn't know whether Zeng Lingji was talking about Su Ming or Lu Shan.
Both of them participated in the Mathematical Olympiad Winter Camp and also participated in the finals.
But Lu Shan seemed to be disqualified.
So which student was Principal Zeng asking about?
Zeng Lingji said, "Prepare the student's information. After the diagnosis next Monday, the teachers from Jiangzhou University's Department of Mathematics and the Admissions Office will come over."
"They will look at the student's basic situation, as well as all the scores in the monthly exams, final exams and midterm exams since high school, and the grade ranking."
“Ah!” Teacher Wang was a little confused. The teacher from Jiangzhou University’s Admissions Office was coming. Did this mean that Jiangzhou University had already launched an early enrollment plan before the college entrance examination?
Although Jiangzhou University is not as famous as Shuimu University and Yenching University, it is also a key 985 and 211 university in China, and occasionally ranks among the top ten in the national university rankings.
If a student can be admitted to Jiangzhou University in advance, it will not only be the pride of the student, but also the pride of the school.
Teacher Wang was a little excited, but also very embarrassed.
Principal Zeng didn't say whether he was preparing materials for Lu Shan or Su Ming, and he didn't dare to ask more.
In fact, it’s not that President Zeng is unwilling to say more, but that President Zeng doesn’t understand who Jiangzhou University is trying to understand.
In order to maintain confidentiality and avoid unnecessary public opinion, Jiangzhou University did not clearly tell Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School who the students they were coming to investigate were. They simply said that they were students participating in a competition.
A total of three students from Jiangzhou University participated in the Mathematical Olympiad Winter Camp, one from Class 3 of Grade 12 and one from Class 5 of Grade 12.
Principal Zeng has notified everyone one by one.
Seeing that Teacher Wang was still standing there, Principal Zeng asked again, "Do you understand?"
"I understand. I'll prepare it right away." Teacher Wang had no choice but to prepare all the information about Lu Shan and Su Ming first.
……
After school in the afternoon, Teacher Wang called Lu Shan to his office and stuffed fifty yuan into Lu Shan's hand.
"Lu Shan, your mother came to school today to talk to us. She was very polite and brought us some green vegetables. I took one bag and Teacher Zhang took one bag."
"We can't take the food for free, you keep the money."
"Is it Teacher Zhang who called the parents?" Lu Shan asked casually without taking any money.
"Yes, it's mainly to communicate your method of learning English. Teacher Zhang is also doing this for your own good. The first consultation will be soon, and after the first consultation, you will be counting the days to wait for the college entrance examination. You still have to work hard in English."
Lu Shan could imagine how ugly the words would be from Teacher Zhang's mouth, and he could also imagine how awkward and uneasy Lin Yan felt when faced with Teacher Zhang's harsh words.
He didn't want his mother to worry about his studies, nor did he want to continue wasting time here.
Lu Shan said directly: "Teacher Wang, I have my own plan and method for learning English. I have summarized the reasons why my English was not so good before. It was mainly because of the teacher's teaching method. He did not teach students in accordance with their aptitude."
Most students of this generation tend to listen to their teachers. Few students dare to directly refute their teachers, let alone question the teacher's teaching methods in person.
As soon as Lu Shan said this, many teachers in the office turned to look at Lu Shan.
The teachers were all worried about Lu Shan. Lu Shan's words had completely offended Teacher Zhang. He would definitely have a hard time in the future.
Lu Shan looked at Li Ying, the English teacher of Class 2, and said, "I have listened to Teacher Li Ying's open English class. I think Teacher Li Ying's teaching method is more suitable for me."
"Ah!?" The young teacher Li Ying, who was correcting homework, was confused. How did this topic come up with herself?
Li Ying is only 25 years old this year. After graduating from Jiangzhou Normal University, she was admitted to Jiangzhou No. Middle School. Because she is young and has no airs, she can get along well with students, so she is deeply loved by students. The English learning atmosphere of Class and Class taught by Li Ying is relatively relaxed. However, as a young teacher, she is definitely not as senior as senior teachers such as Teacher Zhang, and is currently just a handyman.
Lu Shan said with a smile: "If Teacher Li Ying could teach me, my English grades would definitely improve quickly."
"If I don't understand something in English in the future, I will come and ask Teacher Li. I hope Teacher Li won't mind."
It was obvious that Lu Shan was praising Li Ying and belittling Teacher Zhang.
Teacher Li was very embarrassed. He couldn't refuse the student, but he couldn't just agree in front of so many people and offend Teacher Zhang. He could only say:
"If you don't have time, Mr. Zhang, you can come and ask me."
As luck would have it, Teacher Zhang had just gone home for dinner and returned to the office to prepare for the evening English study session when he heard the conversation between Lu Shan and the teachers.
Her temper flared up!
What does Lu Shan mean?
Are you blaming yourself for your poor English grades?
Teacher Zhang walked in and said, "I can't teach you. You can learn from whoever you want. Even if you learn from a special teacher, you may not be able to pass the exam even if your level is 30 points."
Teacher Wang, with a headache, quickly advised: "Okay, okay, Lu Shan, go have dinner quickly, you have to go to evening self-study soon."
Lu Shan smiled and said, "Teacher Zhang Sufen's teaching method has problems, and her teacher ethics are even more problematic."
All the students in the class actually knew that she accepted expensive gifts from parents because she was snobbish, but they didn't dare to speak out because they were afraid of being retaliated against.
This kind of teacher should have been eliminated by the times long ago.
Lu Shan said, "I will study with Teacher Li for a while, and I should be able to pass the first test next week."
Li Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and didn't dare to respond.
Teacher Zhang was so excited that he said, "If your English test result is good enough, I will withdraw from the selection of national top-grade teachers and apply to step down to the second line to give the opportunity to young people."
Lu Shan almost laughed out loud, "Then Teacher Zhang, we have a deal. Teacher Li, please give me more guidance in the future!"
Teacher Wang quickly tried to smooth things over, "Alright, Lu Shan, go eat quickly."
When Lu Shan left the office, he heard Teacher Zhang losing his temper in the classroom.
When Lu Shan came downstairs and was about to go to eat, he saw the school’s cleaning lady cleaning the trash can.
The cleaning lady picked up a bag of fresh vegetables from the trash can and said with regret: "Who would throw such good vegetables into the trash can? Really!"
The cleaning lady carefully put away the vegetables and prepared to take them home to eat.
The plastic bag packaging of these vegetables is exactly the same as the plastic bag packaging of Teacher Wang’s vegetables, and the types of vegetables are also the same.
Obviously, this was thrown by Teacher Zhang.
Seeing this scene, Lu Shan smiled.
He had not originally planned to use the Singularity Lab for the first diagnostic exam.
It now seems that in order to prevent future generations of students from falling into Teacher Zhang’s trap in learning English, he has to think of something.
During evening self-study, Lu Shan continued to explain questions to the students in the study group. This time, the explanation was mainly to prepare for the first diagnosis one week later.
【Cumulative points: 】
After the evening self-study get out of class, Lu Shan went directly to the Singularity Laboratory, ready to exchange his 100 points for some technological products that matched his current academic level.
Thanks to "Yan Zhi Huan" for the reward of 100 Qidian coins, and thank you all for your recommendation votes!
I beg you to read on!
Reading is life!
