Chapter 523 Inspection

"Very good. Pingcheng Education Bureau needs young and promising talents like you, Chief Feng." Director Hou patted Feng Ziwen on the shoulder and encouraged him.

"I heard that Mr. Zhou from the Ministry of Education is getting old and is planning to retire and return to his hometown next year. It has been almost 20 years since I left Xindu, so I plan to take this opportunity to transfer back.

"If I leave, the position of director will undoubtedly be taken by Lao Zheng. Don't blame me for not promoting you. Your qualifications are far inferior to Lao Zheng's."

"Oh, Director Hou, you are going to be promoted, so I have to congratulate you in advance. When you go back, you will definitely be promoted to a higher position and have a prosperous career.

"As for me, I know my own limitations. I have been in the bureau for less than a year and haven't even gotten comfortable in the position of section chief yet, so how dare I think about the director's job?" Fengzi waved his hands when he heard this.

"What I like most about you is that you know when to advance and when to retreat. Don't worry, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. When Lao Zheng becomes the director, his position as deputy director will be vacant. I think Chief Feng is a good fit."

"Thank you, Director Hou, for the promotion." Feng Zi's face showed joy when he heard this.

"But I have to be frank with you." Director Hou changed the subject and reached out to straighten Feng Ziwen's collar.

“At this critical moment, if anyone dares to ruin my plan and prevent me from going to Xindu, I can’t say about other places, but I will definitely make him suffer in Pingcheng.

"If you want to know why I came to Houde in such a hot day, you might as well ask yourself why the inspection was delayed until noon. What did I tell you at the beginning? Chief Feng, you are a smart person. Don't let me down again."

After saying this, Director Hou ignored Feng Ziwen who was standing there, and walked straight up the mountain with the other two officials from the Education Bureau.

Houde is much more lively today than usual.

Due to the continuous reduction in enrollment over the years, there are not many teachers and students left in the school. In addition, the campus itself is large. When Cao Youyi took Ma Lu on a tour, she often walked for more than ten minutes without seeing anyone, and more than half of the school buildings were abandoned.

However, when officials from the Municipal Education Bureau arrived, the school gate was surrounded by people, both adults and children.

Cao Youyi wrote a list of thirty people and gave it to Houde’s old alumni, and finally found thirty-three of them.

Yes, there are three more, all with the same name and the same age. These people and their parents are outside the school now.

Most of them were from commoner families. To be a talisman master was like a step to heaven for them, so when their parents heard that there was a possibility of entering Houde, they immediately sent their children here.

Before Director Hou could say anything, someone beside him had already observed his expression and sneered, "Hou De is really not good enough. Fu Shi University is a prestigious university that educates talents for the country, but there are so many messy people gathered outside the school gate, making a lot of noise, just like a vegetable market. How can this be tolerated?"

Another official from the Education Bureau also chimed in, "I heard that their enrollment this year was not going well. The deadline is approaching, and they haven't met the minimum standards. They invited so many people to come. I guess they are hoping for a lucky jackpot."

"This is ridiculous. There are only one person with the qualifications of a talisman master in ten thousand. Does Houde have the money to test so many people? Besides, it's too late to go to the testing station now. The list must be submitted before noon."

Director Hou listened quietly to his subordinates talking without making any comment.

At this time, Feng Ziwen also rushed up from behind, "Director Hou, I'll go in and tell them to let the teachers and students of Houde come to greet you."

"No need." Director Hou said, "Let's go in directly. If we finish the inspection early, we can go down the mountain to eat."

However, before they could go into the school, Ma Lu and Cao Youyi came out first, but they were not there to greet the officials from the Education Bureau. Cao Youyi acted as if she didn't see Director Hou and his group, and said directly to the crowd, "Chen Rongrong, Kong Erbao, Guan Tianran, Li Fei, Qingqing, those whose names are read, come to me, the rest can go back.

"Thank you for making this trip. Before you leave, you can go to Song Sishu to get a silver dollar."

Some people were still unwilling to give up and pulled their children over to say, "Teacher, please take another look at my child. Maybe he has talent too."

"I'm sorry." Cao Youyi bowed, "The school has limited teaching staff, and the enrollment quota for this year is full."

"What on earth is that woman from the Cao family doing? She called people over in the middle of the night, didn't even take any tests, and then sent them back." An official from the Education Bureau grumbled upon seeing this.

"Didn't she leave six people behind? It looks like she plans to use these six people to deal with the inspection."

Qiu Tong ignored the people from the Education Bureau who were muttering to themselves and waved for the six young men to come forward.

Then he asked them to come to Malu one by one, and Malu said to one of the girls who had the same name as the other, "You can also go and get the silver dollars and go home."

In addition to being able to draw cards, his recruitment function also allows him to receive alerts when potential recruits who meet the admission qualifications appear within two steps of him.

However, two steps are a bit too close, so it is not realistic to recruit people by this thing, but it is good to use it to review whether the people who were previously selected were wrong, especially in cases like this where there are duplicate names.

Director Hou watched from the side for a while but couldn't figure out what Houde was trying to do, so he motioned Feng Ziwen to come forward.

Feng Ziwen trotted over and greeted Cao Youyi and Ma Lu, "Teacher Cao, Principal Ma..., how is the recruitment going? The director-general of the Municipal Education Bureau is very concerned about our Houde and has personally brought people to review it..."

After that, he lowered his voice and said, "Don't mess around. If you haven't recruited enough people, just say so honestly."

"You came just in time," Malu said, "We were just planning to sign contracts for the new students and go through the admission procedures."

Before Feng Ziwen could say anything else, Director Hou and a group of officials from the Municipal Education Bureau had already walked over. He looked Ma Lu up and down and smiled.

"I heard that Houde has a new principal, and it seems to be you. He is really young and promising. With a young talent like Principal Ma, Houde will surely be able to regain its former glory.

"By the way, how is the school's enrollment this year? Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to blame you. The main thing is that the lists of new students from other schools in the city have been submitted, and you are the only ones left.

"Houde was once a famous school in Pingcheng. If you encounter any trouble, please feel free to tell me. I will definitely do my best to help wherever I can."

Director Hou's words were very nice, but Ma Lu said, "No need, we have already recruited the people."

"Oh, I wonder how many freshmen there are in Houde's class?"

"Ten."
