Chapter 525 New Regulations
It took Houde less than one night to select seven qualified new students and complete their qualifications test without going through the testing station.

Director Hou has been the director of education for more than ten years, but this is the first time he has encountered such a strange thing.

When he got the results, even with his shrewdness, he couldn't help but lose his composure and couldn't control the expression on his face.

Although there are still four people who have not been tested, it is no longer meaningful because, together with the three new students, Houde has already gathered the minimum number of people required for the start of school.

Since they dared to report ten people, it means that they have indeed found ten freshmen who meet the requirements, because there is no need to take the risk of falsifying the results when they have already met the requirements.

Even though Director Hou still hasn't figured out how Houde did it, he knows that all this must be related to the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him. He had already sent people to find out the details of the Cao brothers and sisters.

Cao Jinhua has been running around trying to recruit new students during this period, but with the targeting of the Mingxia Group and the Education Bureau, the results have been minimal. The school is still troubled by the lack of students until today.

The only variable is the new principal, Ma.

Because they appeared so suddenly, Director Hou knew nothing about millipedes.

Only now did he take a serious look at the millipede.

The first impression is youth.

Malu looks to be only in his early twenties. Cao Jinhua is already considered very young for a principal, and Malu looks ten years younger than him.

In addition, Malu's skin is also well maintained, and looks delicate and tender. Her skin is even whiter than Cao Youyi's. In comparison, Cao Jiajia next to her looks like a dirty rag.

——A rich young man.

This was the second conclusion Director Hou came to after observation. Moreover, Malu acted very relaxed and not nervous at all when facing him, the director, and a group of officials from the Municipal Education Bureau.

Then we contacted the other party and found out that they were able to find seven qualified new students for Houde overnight and completed their qualifications test without anyone noticing. This kind of thing could definitely not be done by one person alone.

Even if the old alumni of Houde were added, it would be impossible. It would require the intervention of a very powerful force.

Thinking of this, Director Hou had already begun to have the idea of ​​backing out. He was willing to help Mingxia Group deal with Houde because Mingxia Group promised to help with his transfer back to the Ministry of Education.

However, Director Hou did not want to offend another big force because of this. More importantly, he did not know why Ma Lu replaced Cao Jinhua as the principal of Houde, just as the Mingxia Group did not tell him why they had to force the Cao brothers and sisters to sell the school.

No, the water here is too deep.

As an old fox who has been struggling in the political arena for decades, Director Hou has always practiced the way of being an official by bullying the weak, changing with the wind, and not doing anything without benefits.

Seeing that the situation is unclear, I would rather take a step back and observe.

A smile immediately broke out on his face, seamlessly switching from surprise and annoyance to joy. He then took half a step forward, grabbed Malu's hand, and said excitedly.

"Okay, okay, that's great. Houde has hope for revival. Don't blame me, brother Ma. I have no choice. The superiors have issued a death order this time to strictly crack down on falsification of admission lists.

"Of course, I know that Houde will definitely not do this, but since the higher-ups have assigned us a task, we still have to do it. But like I said, no matter what happens, the Municipal Education Bureau will definitely stand on Houde's side, Chief Feng..." Director Hou said, and waved to Feng Ziwen who was standing beside him, "Come on, Chief Feng is an outstanding graduate of Houde and also the chief of our Municipal Education Bureau. You can tell him if you have any problems in the future. As long as the Municipal Education Bureau can do it, it will definitely be done for you."

Feng Ziwen nodded and bowed, while feeling emotional in his heart.

The director is worthy of being the director. With just a few words, he not only passed on the blame, but also used his status as a Houde graduate to bring the two sides closer. In addition, in the future, through him as an intermediary to negotiate with Houde, they will not offend the Mingxia Group and maintain full flexibility.

The most important thing is that this old guy is really thick-skinned. He is obviously over 50 years old, but he still calls Malu "brother" affectionately and is not ashamed at all. Feng Ziwen feels that he still has a lot to learn in this regard.

Director Hou held Malu's hand and chatted with him for a while before reluctantly letting go.

"Brother Ma has just taken office, so he must have a lot of things to deal with. I and the people from the Municipal Education Bureau will not stay here to bother you. Oh, by the way."

Director Hou seemed to have thought of something before he left. "The Ministry of Education recently issued a new notice, preparing to make some reforms and increase the rewards for disaster zone cleanup activities. In addition, there will be some regulations to further promote healthy competition among talisman schools.

"The Municipal Education Bureau will also release relevant details in two days. Since I'm here, I'll tell you in advance. But you don't have to feel too much pressure. I believe in Houde's potential. We will definitely be able to return to the top 100 in the future."

After the people from the Waiting Bureau and the Municipal Education Bureau left, Malu asked Cao Youyi again.

"What's up with this new regulation? Is it also a special regulation from the Ministry of Education targeting Houde?"

"Probably not. There were rumors about the reform three years ago, but because there are many interests involved, it was not finalized until now," Cao Youyi explained.

"Oh, that's how it is."

"But the new rules should not have much impact on our school." Cao Youyi added, "We don't have many teachers and students left now, and there is no one who can lead a team to clean up the disaster zone."

What she said was the truth. When visiting the school last night, Malu also learned from Cao Youyi that there are only three teachers left in Houde, including Cao Youyi herself.

The total number of students in the four grades is only 41, including the ten new students who enrolled this year.

It is called a university, but in reality its scale may not even be as large as the larger private schools in the countryside.

What’s worse is that even with such a huge staff reduction, the school’s financial situation remains severe.

In order to maintain the normal operation of Houde, Cao Jinhua not only invested all his own assets, but also called on old alumni to donate three times.

The money raised has now been spent. Cao Jinhua even found a bank to borrow another sum at the beginning of this year. Fortunately, the amount was not too large, but it was still a deficit.

Anyway, this is the situation.

After Director Hou and the officials from the Municipal Education Bureau left, Malu looked down at the traveler's bracelet. He had been in the new plane for most of the day, and there were less than forty minutes left before he could return.

Without taking time to rest, he immediately threw himself into new work and began to take the pulse and examine Houde who was seriously ill.
