I was reborn without dreams

Chapter 68 The construction of the branch school went very smoothly
Deng Xiaoling, that despicable woman, was punished as soon as she returned to Beijing, but even so, the interview still had to be broadcast.

Not broadcasting?

They won't broadcast it; Shazhou City TV and Wudu City TV are the ones that broadcast it for you. It's not like you're the only one recording it.

It's just Beijing TV; how can it possibly govern places far from the emperor's reach?

If it's broadcast locally but not in Beijing, then it's because Beijing TV is causing trouble and deliberately trying to harm young rural entrepreneurs in those areas.

Knowing the underlying logic, Beijing TV not only broadcast it but also did so without any cuts, though the report mainly focused on Zhang Da'an.

Then, even though they were thousands of miles away, Zhang Da'an became a minor celebrity in the capital and the Yan-Zhao region.

The public response was very strong, especially in rural areas.

In fact, most rural areas are still unaware of the tricks of the trade in college entrance exams and interviews; at most, they know about extra points for exams.

Zhang Da'an's barking on Beijing TV is like water being poured into a hot oil pan, splashing everywhere.

Someone called Shazhou City to issue a warning, but the Shazhou City government had one redeeming quality: when it came to flattery, it was genuinely obsequious, and when it came to stubbornness, it was equally stubborn, directly retaliating and even sending people from the "Beijing Liaison Office" to beat the petition drum...

The farce escalated, with many local television stations in Jiangkou Province eager to join in the commotion, creating utter chaos among the media.

The key issue is that there's no way to delve deeper. First, the interview and admission process can't be investigated too deeply, as so many eyes are watching. Second, there's no way to investigate Zhang Da'an himself.

Being caught in a dilemma only escalated the public debate further. Multiple media outlets in the capital region brought in various education experts to explain how important holistic education is, and how it concerns the country's development.

In any case, they dared not touch the difficult problem that Zhang Da'an had thrown to Beijing TV, nor could they touch it.

From then on, not even a fly would bother to sniff the air around Zhang Da'an's place.

Those who study journalism and are "sharp-tongued" know best who can extort money from others and who can't. If they can't get anything out of Zhang Da'an, they can only turn to blackmailing others.

Many educational training institutions in Beijing are facing challenges, including high fees, difficulties in cooperating with well-known universities, and the question of fairness in examinations for their students.

When it comes to media prowess, one has to look to Beijing. They quickly shifted public opinion from "educational fairness" and "admission quotas" to whether the institution was colluding with anyone inside the school.

Zhang Da'an was in the spotlight for three to five days, but quickly faded away.

This minor clash has caught the attention of Beijing TV. As the saying goes, there's always tomorrow; next time, that Zhang kid better not reveal any weaknesses…

Zhang Da'an didn't care even if his exposed backside was exposed; he was currently busy getting the Mazhou City Telecom Bureau to install a network cable for the Xilai branch of Xindongwei Port Middle School.

Multimedia teaching is one of the core technologies of "Zhang An Education". It can reduce teaching costs and improve training quality. Now, the first requirement for newly recruited teaching assistants is that they must be able to use computers to create courseware.

After preparing the presentation slides, teachers also need to know how to connect the projector to the main and assistant lecturers. This is a simple task; a few years later, a college student could easily do it, but before higher education, the vast majority of primary and secondary schools across the country lacked teachers with this skill.

Even though many teachers themselves graduated from regular teacher training colleges after four years and were once college students, when they were students, they could only manage to gather three or five computers to see what DOS was.

Knowing that double-clicking opens a file in the Office suite already shows that someone is willing to learn and explore new things.

For example, in a province like Jiangkou, which is relatively economically developed, less than one percent of the province's multimedia classrooms are actually usable.

The main function of the multimedia classroom is to show visiting leaders that our school is keeping up with the times.

We'll discuss how multimedia classrooms can improve teaching efficiency and student academic performance later.

So when the Mazhou City Education Bureau heard that Zhang Da'an was going to invest heavily in multimedia education and multimedia distance education, they applauded and were very happy. But it wasn't because they knew what functions this thing actually had, but because they thought that if someone from Yangtai City came down to inspect in the future, then they would have a good place to go.

However, the Mazhou City Education Bureau did provide excellent service in ensuring the smooth operation of the Xilai Branch of Xindongwei Port Middle School.

After finishing his lectures on college application in July, Zhang Da'an took a bus to the construction site of the boundary river renovation project.

The delegation, led by Liu Jingbo, the vice mayor of Mazhou City, welcomed the delegation. The Mazhou City Education Bureau, having made significant contributions, was prominently featured, occupying the central position among the accompanying bureau members.

Unfortunately, according to the development plan of Xindongweigang Middle School given by "Zhang An Education", the enrollment of junior high school and senior high school students in Xilai branch school will be filled according to the scale of "7+10".

College entrance exam retake classes don't need to consider enrollment numbers, but middle school entrance exam retake classes need to prove themselves because the middle school entrance exam in Yangtai City is different from that in Wudu City. Zhang Da'an's focus this year is to do his best to cultivate a top scorer in the middle school entrance exam at Xilai Branch School, thus establishing Xilai Branch School's dominant position in the entire middle school entrance exam retake market in Yangtai City.

For Mazhou City, there's no need to know anything else. The Xilai branch school is guaranteed to generate 40 to 50 million yuan in revenue this summer. In addition, Zhang Da'an's "top scorer effect" is becoming more and more obvious. Although there are many famous teachers in the entire Yangtai City, ordinary parents will still prefer a double top scorer who excels in both arts and sciences in the college entrance examination.

Another point is that Xindongweigang Middle School swept all the top schools in the province in this year's college entrance examination. For parents in Yangtai City, the branch school in Mazhou City can definitely be considered as enjoying the same treatment as the top scorer accompanying them to study without leaving home.

Especially during the branch school's admissions interviews, "Zhang'an Education" used the slogan "Priority given to residents of Yangtai City," which not only maximized the friendliness of the applicants but also significantly increased their positive impression.

To dispel parents' doubts, Zhang Da'an once again resorted to his old tricks: the school was willing to invest heavily in its hardware facilities, with a dedicated warehouse for storing computer hardware. The school buildings looked simply furnished from the outside, but inside, everything from the desks and chairs to the air conditioners and projectors was brand new, and you could feel the hidden wonders inside as soon as you stepped inside.

In addition, with the improvement of the surrounding environment of the school, the comfort level will not be much worse. The boundary river renovation project is one part of the optimization of the learning environment.

"Mr. Zhang, thank you for your trust in Mazhou City. Please rest assured that as long as it is within the capabilities of the Mazhou Municipal Government, we will provide excellent service and wholeheartedly ensure the normal operation of the Mazhou Branch of Xindongwei Port Middle School."

"I should thank Mayor Liu for his trust. I really didn't expect Mazhou to be so determined. They started the renovation just like that, and in just a few days, the whole river has changed. I am now fully confident in the success of the Mazhou branch school. I will do my best to contribute to the education cause in Mazhou City and help it reach new heights."

As Zhang Da'an remarked on how nice the car wheels were, he took the opportunity to shake hands firmly with Liu Jingbo. After taking the group photo, that concluded their task for the day.

There's another wave tomorrow; people from Yangtai City also want to see what's going on here.
