In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

Li Yuan looked at the person who was speaking.

Shi Lin is a very low-key teacher at No. 1 Middle School.

You rarely hear him speak; he gives the impression of being an honest person.

But at this moment, he spoke up to defend Jin Fan.

Shi Lin's words carried a very clear threatening connotation.

In particular, he emphasized at the end that Jin Fan would contact him.

Demoting Jin Fan would bring me a lot of trouble.

Shi Lin was warning him, threatening him to withdraw his arrangements for Jin Fan.

If they don't take it back, then they'll have to face Jin Fan's methods.

But Shi Lin was unaware that the feud between him and Jin Fan had long since escalated to the point of life and death.

This kind of threat is really meaningless.

Jin Fan already wanted his life, so no matter how much you offended him, that was the best he could do.

When it comes to life and death, who cares about offending anyone?

With so many teachers present today, Li Yuan didn't bother to pretend.

The conflict between herself and Jin Fan should be made public.

In the meeting room, several teachers who were close to each other were exchanging glances.

Li Yuan knew they were advising him not to act impulsively.

Everyone knows that Jin Fan has a grandmaster-level expert behind him.

Jin Fan is no ordinary person; making things difficult for him will bring you great trouble.

Upon seeing this, Li Yuan simply smiled, indicating that he understood their warning.

But I will never take back the decision I made today.

"Now that I'm in this position as the head of the teaching and research office, I'm not afraid of people coming to bother me."

Let him come if he wants.

Also, Professor Shi Lin, there's something I need to clarify with you.

I didn't see any hard work or effort from Teacher Jin Fan.

He has no merit, and he is even less deserving of praise for his hard work.

Do you know how many classes I substituted for him last semester?

During my time teaching as a substitute, I also confirmed that he was casual and extremely careless in class.

Not demoting such a key subject teacher would be irresponsible to the students!

Tell me, should I offend a teacher who isn't taking things seriously, or should I let down the students of Lingshan No. 1 Middle School?

Thirty-year-old Li Yuan is not so easily swayed by words.

On the contrary, I have become accustomed to labeling others.

These words set the tone for Jin Fan, implying that he was an irresponsible subject teacher.

The subsequent criticisms further elevated the theme.

Is offending Jin Fan bad, or is it more problematic to negatively impact the students of Lingshan No. 1 Middle School?

At this point, all the things Shi Lin had prepared to say were stuck in his throat.

In fact, what Shi Lin didn't expect was Li Yuanqiang's tough attitude.

He thought that those few threatening words were enough to make Li Yuan back down.

The resentment of a grandmaster's disciple can cause big trouble.

But Li Yuan completely ignored him and insisted on his decision to demote Jin Fan.

"The provincial open classes are coming soon. After the start of the semester, I will organize several teachers to conduct intensive training sessions for everyone every Monday and Wednesday."

Li Yuan knew very well that the upcoming public lecture at the provincial level would be the first trouble he would have to deal with.

Having just taken office as the director of the teaching and research office, the results of the open class should theoretically have little to do with me as the new director.

But external leaders don't have much interest in listening to the reasons or explanations.

Li Yuan was certain that he couldn't let the results of this open class be too bad.

After finishing his sentence, Li Yuan softened his tone slightly and began to explain to everyone again.

"Please don't feel any sense of rejection; you are all very capable teachers."

It can be uncomfortable to ask a colleague for advice.

I feel that way too, and I totally understand.

But even if it happens, please bear with it for now.

If the open course receives a low rating, everyone's salary and bonuses will be affected.

Even if it's just for their own salary, they should cooperate.

"The more I learn, the better, because what if I happen to come across this topic in a public lecture?"

Outside the meeting room, several school leaders had somber expressions.

They overheard Li Yuan chairing the meeting, and it went much better than they had expected.

First establish authority, then use words to close the distance.

Finally, he was very down-to-earth and talked about salaries with the teachers.

This performance is even better than that of some people who have been leaders for ten years.

It easily dissolved the antagonistic feelings of many people.

Then Li Yuan stood in their shoes and told them that this was for their wages.

With just a few simple words, things moved forward.

Those highly experienced teachers had no complaints.

Everyone's just trying to earn a paycheck, so why complain?

Having said everything that needed to be said at the meeting, Li Yuan adjourned the meeting.

The subsequent grade-level discussion meetings for the three high school years will be scheduled by the students themselves, and they will be notified to attend once the meetings are scheduled.

The two classes that Li Yuan originally taught are ready to be handed over for the new semester.

Including the class taught by Jin Fan, there are a total of three classes that need to change their main subject teachers.

Before leaving, Li Yuan thought of something else.

He stopped everyone and explained again that he would be giving three large lectures every week from now on.

One lesson each for grades 10, 11, and 12.

The lesson will be held in the school auditorium. I will be responsible for preparing and delivering the lesson myself, and the teachers don't need to worry about me.

In other words, Li Yuan helped them reduce their workload by one class period.

The teachers were quite surprised to hear this.

The former head of the teaching and research office would never have added extra tasks for himself.

Even if they want to hold a large class, they will arrange for a teacher to teach it.

Li Yuan, however, scheduled three intensive classes for himself every week.

The first day of the new semester, Li Yuan's first day as the director of the teaching and research office, was a great success.

Not only did he establish his authority and demonstrate his serious attitude, he also proactively increased his workload.

Most school curriculum directors do not teach classes.

The subject leaders of the grade do know how to arrange courses.

The head of the curriculum office is responsible for three grades of high school, so they generally can't spare the time for that.

After the meeting ended and he left the main conference room, Shi Lin quickly hid in a corner.

Dial Jin Fan's phone and immediately report the news.

Jin Fan is still in Baodu City and has not returned to work in Lingshan City.

He knew the teachers should go home today, but he still had some things to take care of.

On the other hand, they didn't want to attend the meeting chaired by Li Yuan.

The phone rang four times before being answered, and Shi Lin immediately told Jin Fan about the arrangements made in the meeting.

After explaining the situation, Shi Lin said with a hint of ruthlessness on his face.

"Teacher Jin, you'll have to use some tricks this time."

If you don't give him a good beating, he'll become even more arrogant next time and who knows what trouble he'll cause you.

As Shi Lin spoke, a sense of pride rose within him.

Perhaps because he had sided with Jin Fan, he began to identify with Jin Fan's identity.

Thinking that Jin Fan was going to teach Li Yuan a lesson, he felt a surge of excitement.

To Shi Lin's surprise, Jin Fan on the other end of the phone was very indifferent.

He simply replied coldly, "I know," and then hung up the phone.

There was absolutely no mention of him wanting to retaliate.

This is completely unlike Jin Fan's usual style.

Does this mean they're just admitting it outright?
