The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 448 Child, Leave Yourself a Way Out
Starting with the high-end commercial and residential area of ​​Fatou Xili, a vast integrated community is rapidly unfolding:

Fatou Nanli is positioned as a high-end health and wellness community, aiming to create a new benchmark for the silver economy;

Fatou Beili is planned to become a large-scale commercial center, which will become a new engine for regional consumption.

In Fatou Dongli, the reconstruction project of the Capital Normal University Affiliated Fatou School (a nine-year consistent system) has been launched to consolidate high-quality educational resources.

It can be said that the industrial blueprint drawn up by Wei Lan of Jinling Capital at that grand banquet all benefited Jiang Ying and Qian Mankun, the two relaxed VIP members.

The reason they were able to pay the contract fee so readily was not because the massage parlor demanded it, nor did the massage parlor have the right to do so. It was because deep down they had a fear that if they made a wrong move, their hard-earned VIP membership would be inexplicably revoked.

Therefore, despite Jiang Ying's great reluctance, she and Qian Mankun still strictly followed the "Guidelines" that were secretly circulating in the circle.

Not only them, but all their suppliers also received this "additional clause" that must be strictly enforced.

For the construction company, although the workers' wages were already quite high, the two bosses additionally demanded that the wages be paid to each worker on time and in full. Despite this simple requirement, the construction company boss, just like Jiang Ying had been initially, showed clear reluctance on his face.

In the end, Qian Mankun's face darkened, and he said, "If you don't want to do it, find someone else. There are plenty of people waiting in line!"

The other party immediately complied.

……

The site inspection had just ended when Qian Mankun waved his hand dismissively:
"Let's go! Let's go see how that old man is doing now."

The "old man" that Qian Mankun mentioned is Xie Yunzhou, a famous educator and special-grade teacher.

He is not only Zhao Xiaochui's second VIP member and honorary advisor of Relaxing and Slow Travel, but also the first principal of the soon-to-be-built Fatou School.

At this moment, the old man was standing in front of the bustling school construction site, saying goodbye to one of the young teachers from the teaching team he had personally recruited.

The campus, covering nearly 100 acres, is taking shape, and the main teaching building is about to be completed.

The school boasts a modern and grand design, complete with first-class facilities such as a standard playground, indoor gymnasium, science and technology innovation laboratories, and an arts center. It is large in scale and its hardware standards are among the best in the region.

Xie Yunzhou gazed intently at the modern campus that was about to rise from the ground, his eyes filled with anticipation. He turned to look at the young teacher beside him.

Speaking of which, this young man should be called "Master Advisor" because he is the child of the first batch of students Xie Yunzhou taught.

Xie Yunzhou looked at the young man before him, remained silent for a moment, and then asked in a deep voice, "Are you really... determined to leave?"

The young teacher nodded without hesitation, her tone firm: "Yes, it's decided. I'm going to develop my career in America."

This answer suggests that she truly has no intention of returning.

She received a formal offer of employment from an innovative charter school in Silicon Valley, which valued her unique curriculum development skills and cross-cultural teaching background.

The Silicon Valley Innovation School offered her the position of curriculum development specialist and math teacher.

Annual salary of $18, plus a signing bonus of $3. The university will sponsor an O-1 visa for exceptional ability and cover all legal and application fees, provide full medical insurance (covering dental and vision care), and allocate $1 annually for attending top global educational conferences or pursuing further studies.

Compared to the permanent position Xie Yunzhou secured for him, with a monthly salary of 1.2 yuan including various subsidies, he also faces pressure from heavy non-teaching duties and fierce competition for promotion.

"Over the years, the country has spent..."

The old man didn't finish his question; seeing the young female teacher's embarrassed expression, he sighed deeply.

"Child, tell me, if teachers in China received the same treatment, would teachers in America still have such income?"

Female teacher: "..." "Child, resources are limited now. The country has worked so hard to educate us, not so that we can take shortcuts, but so that our children can sit at desks and type, so that those who used to type can make keyboards..."

“Teacher…” The female teacher, Lin Xue, suddenly spoke, interrupting Xie Yunzhou. She lowered her head, not daring to look the old man in the eye, her voice trembling slightly.
"I...I see no hope."

Xie Yunzhou remained silent for a moment, then simply sighed softly and changed the subject:
"Over at Ladies' Street... are there still so many people queuing up in front of the US Embassy?"

Lin Xue nodded gently: "There are many, and the lines are very long every day."

The old man stared at her blankly for a while, then suddenly began to speak softly:
Testimony of British trade union leaders before the Queen in 1881:

Q: How do you ensure that workers receive higher wages?

A: We have significantly reduced the number of workers in the market.

Q: How did you reduce it?
A: In the past eight or nine years, we have emigrated approximately 70 people, including men, women and children.

Q: How do I immigrate, and where does the funding come from?
A: I went to Canada, reached an agreement with them, gave them so many people, and received so much money from the deal.

Young female teacher: "..."

"Child, by the time China has developed, this planet will already be full. Where do you think so many people will go?"

The female teacher thought the old man was making excuses for her, so she breathed a sigh of relief and nodded gratefully.

"Child, leave yourself a way out."

"Huh?" The female teacher looked at the old man in surprise. "Why?"

"Because you have taken away their jobs and their lives, because our skin, eyes, and blood are just a nuisance in their eyes."

"Because people always have a strong urge to get rid of trouble, like wiping away stains from a beautiful landscape—a point repeatedly emphasized by a descendant of an Auschwitz concentration camp survivor." (Note)
What might happen when moral considerations are completely suppressed, compassion disappears, and moral barriers are removed?

"WW2 GRE's atrocities were not because they enjoyed atrocities, but because of a sense of responsibility; not for the sake of sadism, but for the sake of virtue; and were carried out in the name of excellent values ​​and with professional competence to complete the tasks at hand."

"Children, once they abandon morality and combine it with advanced technology for solving difficult problems..."

"Your chances of survival are virtually zero."

"..."

After seeing the female teacher off, Xie Yunzhou stood alone, staring blankly at the modern campus before him.

"Thank you, Elder Xie."

Jiang Ying and Qian Mankun's voices interrupted his thoughts. The two respectfully stepped forward to greet him.

Xie Yunzhou looked at the two investors who controlled enormous wealth, nodded slightly, and said in a complex tone:
"The school is very well built... Thank you for your hard work."

Xie Yunzhou's gaze returned to the school:

"You did a great job, and little hammer did a great job too..."

"Let's try a little harder..."
