In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

When Zhao Yuan mentioned that the important figure was still looking for a suitable person, the eyes of several young teachers around him lit up.

"What are your requirements? Do we even have a chance?"

Zhao Yuan picked up the soda on the table, took a big gulp, and then turned back to continue speaking.

"How could we possibly know the specific requirements?"

The difference in social status is too great; at most, one can only listen to gossip.

However, rumors have leaked out that this important figure has a very favorable impression of the martial arts practitioners in our education sector.

At this point, Zhao Yuan revealed a teasing smile and glanced at everyone.

"Keep up the good work, everyone. Maybe there really is a chance to avoid decades of hard work."

Everyone just laughed at the teasing.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

"Director Li Yuan is also single, and even Jin Fan is outshone by him."

Perhaps, we might actually be able to seize this opportunity.

He rose to the top in one step, becoming the son-in-law of a wealthy and powerful family!

People around him joked, and Li Yuan could only smile helplessly.

As he got older, Li Yuan had long since given up on those unrealistic ideas.

If you want to live a relaxed and leisurely life, you have to rely more on yourself.

In some cases, parents may also be able to provide this kind of help.

But it's really difficult to avoid decades of hard work through marriage.

Giving up one's dignity might not even be something one can do.

Marriage is a union of two people who strive together for progress. Li Yuan himself felt guilty for relying solely on his partner.

Baodu City, Autumn International Hotel.

Xia Zhao leaned back on the sofa, looking slightly tired, and gazed at the night view outside.

She really doesn't want to attend any parties or events right now.

These gatherings and events themselves weren't particularly strenuous.

For Xia Zhao, the hard part was dealing with the people around him.

Especially after the offer of access to Xueying Mountain, many people sensed an opportunity.

Gaining Xia Zhao's favor would be an immense boost, both for the individual and for the forces behind them.

"Yao Jianyue wanted to meet with me, but I have already declined."

Should we inform the old lady about this situation?

It's best for the elders to decline these invitations.

Beside him, his assistant Cheng Jing recounted some of the day's events.

Yao Jianyue has already refused several times.

They weren't originally supposed to be at this gathering, but they managed to get their spots through some kind of scheme.

Xia Zhao really wanted to say that he had just asked the wrong person and did not intend to give Jin Fan the qualification to train at Xueying Mountain.

However, saying such things is too hurtful to the other party and could cause a complete breakdown in relations.

The final choice was still to refuse to meet.

They can think whatever they want.

In their eyes, it was Jin Fan's mistake that caused all this trouble.

Xia Zhao looked out the window at the distant night view.

The main purpose of this gathering is to discuss the border beast crisis.

A ferocious beast never before seen has appeared on the border, posing an extremely difficult challenge to deal with.

This ferocious beast isn't particularly strong in attack, but it's extremely agile and cunning, you could even say... clever!

Many methods only work once against them, and then have no effect.

Top martial arts geniuses like Xia Zhao are bound to get involved in related events.

She will undoubtedly be a pillar in dealing with crises in the future.

She will make many decisions, and she may have to handle many issues personally.

Such a top talent must have been involved in related events at a young age.

Xia Zhao had a vague feeling that the conversation at this gathering was related to the mutated ferocious beast.

It can be carefully considered, yet it is difficult to extract the details.

While pondering, Xia Zhao looked at Cheng Jing beside her and asked her about her recent plans.

Cheng Jing gave a brief explanation.

Many of Xia Zhao's recent affairs are related to the Xia family's martial arts techniques.

The guidance she received from Li Yuan led to a significant improvement in the Xia family's martial arts prowess.

Many difficulties in martial arts have been overcome.

The elders of the Xia family naturally began to pull Xia Zhao aside and discuss various cultivation techniques and martial arts skills.

Xia Zhao's talent is undeniable, but she still can't improve the relevant cultivation techniques.

She was far from it; she felt like she couldn't even grasp the basics.

Xia Zhao felt very uncomfortable every time she thought about this.

She had always wanted to find Li Yuan, not for any further guidance, but simply to find him.

But her elders would urge her to think it over again and see if she could gain any further insight or breakthrough.

This pressure made her feel that her search for Li Yuan was driven by a somewhat unhealthy utilitarian motive...

She simply wanted to find Li Yuan.

Xia Zhao still remembered what she had said before: to find suitable martial arts techniques for Li Yuan.

Back in Qijia Town, she gave Li Yuan a set of "Tiangang Body Refining Manual".

This basic cultivation method was of great help to Li Yuan.

You could even say that he saved my life.

When Jin Fan ambushed him, he relied on his protective qi and was completely unharmed.

However, in Xia Zhao's eyes, she had not helped Li Yuan at all.

Many masters who have read the "Tian Gang Body Refining" technique believe it is flawed.

The content inside was at most just something for Li Yuan to pass the time.

She has now prepared her martial arts techniques, but she can't find anyone to help her...

Thinking of this, Xia Zhao looked at the phone in her hand.

I gave him my phone number, why can't he contact me...?

While hesitating, Cheng Jing, who was standing next to him, asked about the arrangements for the following month.

"In the southeast area, there is a Shifeng River Teaching and Research Association."

Miss, would you like to go and take a look? This is also a discussion meeting in the education sector.

What if I happen to meet the person I'm looking for?

Cheng Jing offered her suggestions from the side.

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhao shook his head.

"Perhaps he's not even in the education field, so the direction we were looking for before was problematic."

After Xia Zhao finished speaking, Cheng Jing, who was about to take notes, immediately changed her mind.

"Never mind, let's go participate anyway."

I've participated in so many activities already, one more won't make a difference.

Perhaps we can glean some useful insights from these discussions.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Jing nodded and quickly jotted down notes.

"The teaching and research meeting at Shifeng River is scheduled for a month and a half from now, which is about fifty days away."

It was originally scheduled for two weeks later.

I heard that recently, the provincial education bureau has been inspecting the teaching situation in various middle schools.

The scheduled teaching and research meeting was forced to be postponed.

Xia Zhao nodded; she wasn't interested in learning more about the details.

When participating in such a seminar, one should also raise a topic.

For Xia Zhao, these were all minor matters.

She has countless problems to solve, and she can just pick one at random.

That evening, Li Yuancai received a message in his email informing him that the seminar had been postponed.

Even though Li Yuancai was in the education department, Xia Zhao got the relevant information faster than him.

When Li Yuan saw this email, he couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that Jin Fan's leave will have to be extended.

You need to think of a very serious illness to get a longer stay.
