Chapter 284 An Amnesty for Wen Jiawen

When Li Jiayuan arrived at the private room, Zhu Wanfang and her daughter, Guo Xiaozhen, and Teacher Wen were already seated inside.

While chatting, Zhu Wanfang and her father kept thanking Teacher Wen.

He knew what kind of people Xiao Sa and his gang were; if it weren't for Teacher Wen bringing people to ask for help today...

The consequences could be disastrous.

"You really don't need to thank me, thank Brother Yuan instead."

Teacher Wen felt quite embarrassed about this. From his perspective, he hadn't done anything wrong; it was just that Brother Yuan was kind-hearted.

Meanwhile, Li Jiayuan, who had already arrived at the hotel, heard that Teacher Wen's loyalty was skyrocketing.

Just as everyone was chatting happily, Li Jiayuan strode into the restaurant, pushed open the door, and without saying a word, picked up the red wine on the table and poured himself a glass.

After taking a sip with elegance, he finally took a real look at the three most crucial characters in the story, though his gaze lingered mostly on Wen Jiawen.

This is a very interesting teacher. In the original film, Wen Jiawen is a gentle and refined gentleman who believes in the law and is unwilling to use violence.

But this upright gentleman, at the very end, actually went against his conscience to protect XS, and personally stabbed Xiaosa with a knife.

"What are your plans for the future, Teacher Wen?"

"what?"

Wen Jiawen responded in surprise, not knowing what Li Jiayuan meant by that. What else could a teacher do but go back to school and teach?

Li Jiayuan smiled and called out towards the door.

"Lu Zhilian".

"Brother Yuan"

"You can sit down too."

"Yes"

As soon as Lu Zhilian sat down, Li Jiayuan began to introduce Lu Zhilian to Wen Jiawen.

"This is Lu Zhilian, the head of the schools under our Jiayuan Group."

"Hello"

Teacher Wen tentatively extended her hand, thinking to herself, "The people around Brother Yuan are indeed all important figures. With so many schools under the Jiayuan Group, this person is the head of the whole group. He's really impressive."

Li Jiayuan added:
"Teacher Wen, to be honest, I personally admire you very much. What I said at the boxing gym just now was true. Would you be interested in coming to my school to help me?"

"I!"

Wen Jiawen was stunned. He didn't expect Li Jiayuan to extend an olive branch to him. He was just a poor scholar who only knew how to teach and had no other skills. Even if he went to Jiayuan Group, he would most likely only be able to teach.

Wen Jiawen didn't understand that what Li Jiayuan valued was Wen Jiawen's attitude towards education. He lacked a pragmatist and good teacher like Wen Jiawen.

He wanted to make his school better, so he wanted Wen Jiawen to join his team and continue to shine.

After considering it for a long time, Wen Jiawen...

"I'm sorry, Brother Yuan, I can't agree to that."

Zhu Wanfang and the other two were stunned. Why didn't Teacher Wen agree? This was Jiayuan Group! So many people wanted to work or teach at Jiayuan Group.

It's definitely a better opportunity than staying at Southeast Middle School.
Li Jiayuan was also quite surprised.

"Can you give me a reason? I really can't think of any reason to refuse."

His school has top-notch salary, educational environment, and student resources, so why is Wen Jiawen unwilling to teach there?

Teacher Wen turned around and said something that made Li Jiayuan very impressed.

“I know your school is very good, but it’s precisely because your school is already good enough, with many teachers who can protect the students, that the students of Southeast Middle School need me. I want to protect them and save more students.”

Not only was Li Jiayuan shocked, but everyone present was also confused by Wen Jiawen's words. Lu Zhilian admired this role model in the education industry even more. If everyone were like Wen Jiawen, there wouldn't be so many bad students.

Teachers are guides for students. When students encounter setbacks in home-school education, teachers are the last guides to lead them back to the right path.

In fact, many teachers are unaware of this.

Guo Xiaozhen has a deep understanding of this. His family doesn't understand him and only focuses on his grades, even though he's not academically inclined. His teachers only care about the students with good grades.

No one ever told him what to do; teachers like Teacher Wen are so rare.

"Teacher Wen, I don't quite agree with your opinion."

Li Jiayuan had a different opinion on Wen Jiawen's remarks.

"Teacher Wen, you just said that you want to help more students and guide them onto the right path, but have you thought about staying at Southeast Middle School to teach?"

How many students can you save? You should know what happened to Southeast Middle School before, so what has your effort changed? Nothing. Am I right?

Wen Jiawen was deeply hurt by these words. Yes, no matter how hard he tried to persuade them, some students simply couldn't change.

"Do you know why this is the case? It's because you're not capable enough. Take Zhu Wanfang's case, for example. If you were just an ordinary middle school teacher, what could you do? What could you possibly do?"

Li Jiayuan's words made Wen Jiawen lower his head in shame. Li Jiayuan didn't want to hurt him too much, as it would be bad if he ruined his good helper and subordinate. Zhu Wanfang and Guo Xiaozhen also lowered their heads because of Li Jiayuan's words. Guo Xiaozhen felt particularly hot-tempered, knowing that she was the incorrigible bad student.

"It's a good thing to want to help students, but the premise is that you have to have the ability. If you stay at Southeast Middle School and continue to teach, how many students can you save, one, two, or three?"
Only when you possess greater power can you help more people. If you're willing to join us, I can make you a principal to fundamentally solve and change the current state of education in schools—that's what you should be doing.

At this moment, Li Jiayuan couldn't help but think of Zhou Shuren's words again.

Studying medicine cannot save the Chinese people.

Wen Jiawen's eyes gleamed with golden light. He was persuaded, but he had a new worry: he only knew how to teach, and he didn't know how to be a principal.

Seeing that the time was right, Li Jiayuan pushed Lu Zhilian forward.

“You don’t need to worry about not being able to do it. You just need to be responsible for the students and change the school’s educational environment. Everything else can be done slowly. If you don’t understand something, I will have Lu Zhilian teach you.”

Lu Zhilian was a little nervous. He was a newcomer himself, so how could he teach others? But he couldn't undermine them at this time.

"Yes, I will teach you, you don't need to worry."

A surge of passion welled up in Wen Jiawen's heart, and he stood up and poured himself a glass of wine.

"it is good!"

"I want to help more students."

"Teacher Wen, let me toast you."

Li Jiayuan is very pleased. He plans to invest in 20 more schools to establish his influence in the education sector. In the future, these will become his greatest asset.

A teacher like Wen Jiawen, with his upright character, is exactly what he needs.

Having settled Wen Jiawen's matter, the next issue is the two students.

Zhu Wanfang is easy to deal with. She hasn't been led astray yet and is still a good student, just not very bright and a bit silly.

In the original story, after being threatened by Xiao Sa, he dared not tell his family and asked his best friend Guo Xiaozhen to borrow money. Guo Xiaozhen lent him the money she had worked so hard to earn to cover her expenses.

She even told someone that it was all dirty money.

It's infuriating that he later followed in her footsteps after Guo Xiaozhen's death. When his father, the butcher, discovered this, he indirectly caused his father's death as well.

In fact, Li Jiayuan looked down on this person. When it was your turn to do something, you didn't do it and kept wavering. When others helped you, you didn't understand why and just had a face to save.

But in the end, she was just a female student who had never seen anything before, so it's understandable.

Li Jiayuan felt there was no need to interfere with Zhu Wanfang's side anymore; he was more concerned about Guo Xiaozhen's situation.

He was the one who changed Zhu Wanfang in the subsequent school drama. Guo Xiaozhen came from a poor family, her family didn't understand or care about her, and she was also discriminated against by teachers at school.

Overwhelmed by pressure, she died in a car accident. Now, Zhu Wanfang is perfectly normal; she was the troubled girl.

"Dad Zhu, Zhu Wanfang hopes that you can learn from this experience, especially you, Zhu Wanfang. Study hard, get into a good university, and repay your father and Teacher Wen for their help. If you encounter any problems that you really can't solve, go to Teacher Wen."

Zhu Wanfang blushed and lowered her head in shame.

After Li Jiayuan finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Guo Xiaozhen.

"Your name is Guo Xiaozhen, right?"

"You can all leave now. I want to talk to her alone."

Ten minutes later, Li Jiayuan called everyone else in. Guo Xiaozhen's eyes were red, and it was clear that she had been given a good talking-to.

In fact, Li Jiayuan didn't say anything to him. He just told him what Guo Xiaozhen had done outside, appealing to his emotions and reasoning with him, telling him that there are many ways to make money and that he didn't have to demean himself.

If he wants to earn money, he can do odd jobs at Jiayuan Logistics.

This stranger's concern instantly broke down Guo Xiaozhen's psychological defenses. On the one hand, Li Jiayuan did not look down on her or despise her because of what she had done; on the contrary, he sincerely wanted to help her.

Guo Xiaozhen, who had never been cared for before, was deeply moved.

Li Jiayuan didn't plan to say much about what happened next; he would ask Wen Jiawen to keep an eye on this problem child.

Because he planned to acquire Southeast Middle School, which is a church-affiliated school, it wouldn't be too difficult to negotiate a deal. He would first use this place as Wen Jiawen's debut site to gain experience.

On the one hand, the students here are of extremely low and poor quality. If Wen Jiawen can handle this school, then other schools will naturally be no problem either.

Li Jiayuan ordered another table of dishes for them, and left Lu Zhilian to keep them company before departing.

He has more important things to do.

Inside the private room, a group of people ate exquisite dishes, each with their own thoughts.

Guo Xiaozhen is looking forward to working part-time at Jiayuan Logistics to earn money, and she hopes to work there in the future. She knows she is not academically inclined and probably won't get into university, but now that she has a good job, she is full of hope for the future.

Zhu Wanfang's mind was filled with images of Li Jiayuan. Her face flushed as she wondered if she could get a job at Jiayuan Group if she got into a good university, so she could be closer to her idol.

Lu Zhilian and Teacher Wen got along very well, jokingly saying that Teacher Wen was one of his revolutionary comrades who shared the work.
