In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

Although he used to be an ordinary middle school teacher, Li Yuan is now a full-fledged director of the teaching and research office.

The way we address each other must change.

Especially when dealing with colleagues you don't know well, you need to be more careful about how you address them.

At nine o'clock, everyone arrived except for the teachers who had asked for leave in advance.

The school meeting started at 2 p.m.

In the morning, each department holds its own meetings to discuss matters.

On his first day back in Lingshan City, Li Yuan received his exam results for the year.

The teachers were summoned to the conference room to discuss achievements and teaching for the new semester.

This includes the overall scores of the three grades: the college entrance examination, the first year of high school, and the second year of high school.

The head of the teaching and research office is in charge of this area.

The meeting will, of course, discuss achievements.

The meeting room quickly quieted down. Li Yuan sat on the podium, and the projector showed this year's results list.

It includes average score, best score, median score, etc.

As the director of the teaching and research office, Li Yuan chaired the meeting for the first time.

Without the slightest stage fright, she began to talk about her exam results from the previous semester right in front of everyone.

Many teachers at Lingshan No. 1 Middle School are convinced of Li Yuan's teaching abilities.

In this year's first-year high school final exams, the two classes taught by Li Yuan swept the first and second places among the parallel classes.

Most teachers, including those in the advanced classes, are impressed by how well the class has been managed.

Most of the teachers in the advanced classes expressed their approval of Li Yuan's appointment as the director of the teaching and research office.

But I heard that one of them was a little unhappy.

He also seemed interested in the position of head of the curriculum department.

After Director Ma was marginalized, he felt he had an opportunity.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuan was promoted.

The teacher's resentment lasted for about a week.

Hearing that there would be public lesson inspections in the province at the beginning of the new semester, and that the director of the teaching and research office would be held responsible, all his discomfort disappeared.

"Lingshan No.1 High School's college entrance examination results this year have once again been criticized."

You all probably already know about the inspection from the provincial authorities.

In recent years, the quality structure of students in Lingshan City has not changed much.

However, the quality of students graduating from Lingshan No.1 Middle School is considered to have declined significantly.

I don't want to criticize anyone; perhaps there were other factors involved beforehand.

Starting this semester, I hope everyone will go all out to improve the quality of teaching.

Here, I would like to make a promise to everyone.

As long as everyone focuses on their work, I will never cause any trouble for you.

Without so many distractions and trivial matters, teachers can focus solely on teaching.

As Li Yuan finished speaking, his gaze swept across the conference room.

"Have Teacher Jin Fan and Teacher Gu Yu arrived?"

Lingshan No.1 Middle School has more than 170 teachers, plus other staff, totaling 200 people.

Sitting in the meeting room, you usually can't tell which teacher is absent.

But Li Yuan was keeping a close eye on the search, specifically looking for Jin Fan and Gu Yu within this area.

The other teachers around looked around, but no one responded.

"Before the meeting, I carefully checked the sign-in record, and there were no blank or unsigned entries on the list."

Why are there two fewer people now?

Li Yuan's gaze swept over everyone, and for the first time, the teachers present felt pressure from him.

"I can let this go this time, but if someone signs on my behalf again next time, it will be considered as not being there."

Li Yuan spoke sternly, and after saying this, he continued to talk about Jin Fan.

At this moment, Li Yuan is fulfilling his promise.

If he gets the position of head of the teaching and research office, I'll definitely make things difficult for him.

Right now, there's no need to even put in the effort to find opportunities.

These two classmates missed the first meeting of the new semester, and they had to be punished.

The surrounding teachers remained silent; everyone knew that there was a conflict between Li Yuan and Jin Fan.

Li Yuan is now the director of the teaching and research office, and Jin Fan is a disciple of the Grandmaster.

Not wanting to offend either side, everyone kept quiet and simply watched the show.

"Given Mr. Jin Fan's poor teaching attitude, he frequently takes leave and puts his teaching on hold."

The median and average scores of the classes I taught were lower than those of other parallel classes.

This semester, my status as a main subject teacher has been revoked, and I have been reassigned as an assistant teacher.

In front of everyone, Li Yuan announced a decision directly.

The teachers around were all taken aback when they heard this.

After Jin Fan joined Lingshan No.1 Middle School, he became a main subject teacher.

Given his status and qualifications, he possesses martial arts skills and is also a disciple of a grandmaster.

No one expected Li Yuan to do this.

Even though they knew that Li Yuan and Jin Fan had a conflict, they did not expect that Li Yuan would dare to deal with Jin Fan so openly.

For someone like Jin Fan, having his main subject teacher status revoked has a huge impact.

Everyone knows that Jin Fan came to Lingshan No.1 Middle School not to settle down and work here permanently.

Lingshan No.1 Middle School was just a stepping stone for him.

This is a very common path for young people with certain backgrounds or identities.

Accumulate grassroots experience, get a minor promotion every two years, and a major promotion every three years.

But now, Li Yuan has directly demoted Jin Fan.

The main teacher was demoted to an assistant teacher, which not only prevented them from accumulating experience, but also made their record look very bad.

Jin Fan wanted to move forward, and it was fortunate that no one else was blocking his way.

If someone with connections were to compete with him, this demotion would have a huge impact on him.

The opponent can seize this opportunity and launch a fierce attack on him.

And it seems that Li Yuan will also record the reason for his demotion in his file.

As the main subject teacher, I received a comment about a poor teaching attitude.

This has a really big impact.

To avoid further obstruction, Li Yuan also collected various pieces of evidence.

Li Yuan had Chen Yong retrieve Jin Fan's number of leave requests from last year.

As the main teacher, he asked someone to substitute for him more than eighteen times.

This only refers to the number of times; one substitute teaching session, not just for one day.

In addition, the class that Jin Fan taught was ranked second among the parallel classes when they entered school.

He was quite popular at the time, and many parents hoped their children would be in his class.

But now, this class is ranked at the bottom of the parallel classes.

The average score was four or five points lower than that of other parallel classes.

These circumstances were all gathered up and used as evidence for Jin Fan's demotion.

Li Yuan made these arrangements not only to deal with Jin Fan, but also to establish his own authority.

Someone like myself, who was promoted to a higher position, certainly wouldn't have enough prestige at the beginning.

Teachers with more experience than themselves will definitely feel resentful.

It's fine if they openly disagree, but some people will outwardly comply while inwardly resisting, significantly increasing communication costs.

Since we were already planning to deal with Jin Fan, we might as well use him to establish our authority.

I dare to deal with even a grandmaster's disciple, and I dare to demote him to assistant teacher.

Would other teachers with some experience dare to challenge us?

Judging from the expressions on the faces of the other teachers around, this attempt to establish authority should have been very effective.

While they hesitated, a voice suddenly came from the conference room.

"Director Li, isn't this arrangement a bit too much?"

Teacher Jin Fan has certainly put in a lot of hard work, even if he hasn't achieved great things. Demoting him like this is going too far.

If he knew this news, he would probably go to see Director Li as well.

"In that case, Director Li, you'll be creating trouble for yourself."
