In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, Jin Fan's expression twitched.

It's clear that he was actually dissatisfied.

But faced with Gu Yu's words, he couldn't find the words to refute them.

If Li Yuanzhen had such abilities, how could he have had his training qualification snatched away?

But if what Gu Yu said is true, wouldn't that mean Li Yuan is very capable and talented?

Thinking about all this, he felt even more anger rising in his chest.

He unconsciously clenched his fist, and the urge to cripple Li Yuan intensified.

"Right now, I just hope that the teaching and research meeting in Shifenghe can come sooner."

Seeing his face makes me feel a surge of anger.

Jin Fan's expression was truly mad.

His hatred for Li Yuan was indeed hard to suppress.

"I wish I had personally participated in that competition back then."

Then there wouldn't be so many troubles later on.

"You should have told me when you were outmatched; there was no need to wait until now."

Feeling frustrated and resentful, Jin Fan began to blame Gu Yu for his anger.

He asked Gu Yu for help, but after losing, he blamed Gu Yu for everything.

Gu Yu's expression twitched involuntarily upon hearing this.

For a moment, he really hoped that Jin Fan would be taught a lesson.

"If I had taken matters into my own hands back then, there certainly wouldn't have been so much trouble..."

After a moment of hesitation, Jin Fan couldn't help but sigh again.

"That's hard to say. Others who went to the border for training this time managed to get a second-class merit award."

Underestimating your opponent is never a good thing.

Gu Yu is also a disciple of a grandmaster, and a genius who has been pampered since childhood.

He could tolerate Jin Fan saying those things once or twice, but he couldn't keep it to himself.

"You didn't underestimate him, so you won, right?"

Martial arts competitions rely on strength, not on any kind of favoritism or disrespect.

Jin Fan's words became increasingly outrageous.

This excessive behavior made Gu Yu's expression even more unpleasant.

At that moment, he truly hoped that Li Yuan would be more skilled and defeat his senior brother.

"The competition at Shifeng River hasn't started yet, so it's hard to say who will win or lose."

"I'm stuffed."

Gu Yu said this and turned to leave the restaurant.

At this moment, he recalled his fight with Li Yuan.

In their two encounters, he could clearly sense the improvement in Li Yuan's strength.

Especially the second encounter.

Gu Yu felt as if every step he took was a trap.

As soon as he makes a move, he will expose all his weaknesses to Li Yuan.

The move wasn't as terrifying as I'd expected, but it was still difficult to deal with.

During that encounter, Gu Yu even felt that fighting Li Yuan was more torturous than fighting Jin Fan.

Looking back now, he was quite pleased that Li Yuan had such abilities.

Perhaps we can help him teach Jin Fan a lesson, even hurt him!

Compared to Li Yuan, Gu Yu disliked Jin Fan even more.

His senior brother had repeatedly spoken ill of him.

Jin Fan joined the sect earlier and had a more special identity, with elders from his family supporting him.

Gu Yu comes from an ordinary family and relied on his talent to succeed in the college entrance examination.

It was this difference in status that allowed Jin Fan to belittle him like that.

At the same time, Jin Fan didn't take Gu Yu's temper tantrum seriously at all.

I sat alone at the dining table and continued eating my lunch.

If Gu Yu is not feeling well, then so be it.

Jin Fan had only one problem right now: how to get through the next two weeks.

He was watched by Li Yuan every day, and his attendance was recorded.

He really hoped that the Shifenghe teaching and research conference could come soon.

Only by resolving the problem with Li Yuan can his path to advancement be restored to a smooth one.

......

After lunch, Li Yuan and Director Zeng Chang saw the mayor and his entourage off.

It wasn't until lunch that the mayor realized the trick.

He finally understood why Principal Yin's smile was so awkward when he called him over.

Teachers at one's own school should be happy, even excited, to achieve such results.

Principal Yin just smiled politely, showing no sign of genuine happiness whatsoever.

As he was leaving, Director Zeng Chang mentioned that he wanted to give Li Yuan another chance.

The mayor nodded: "You should arrange temporary management work for Director Li Yuan first."

Promotion to a full-time position depends on the organization department's investigation.

"The city is fine; they've achieved so much, we've all seen it."

The next level up from the head of the teaching and research office is the school-level leadership.

The organizational structure of a middle school is not too complicated.

If Li Yuan gets promoted again, he should become the vice principal or the principal's office assistant.

The "assistant" here does not refer to a regular assistant.

Rather, they are school-level leaders.

Upon assuming this position, Li Yuan will take over the school's compliance governance, information disclosure, communication and coordination with higher authorities, and so on.

Principal Yin certainly wouldn't relinquish this power.

They would rather Li Yuan take over the duties of the vice principal than let him be the principal's office assistant.

After seeing the leaders off, Zeng Chang breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking back at Li Yuan beside her, she couldn't help but feel relieved.

How could I have been so good at judging people back then?

"I just ran into some trouble, and you've already given me a big gift."

Are you a lucky star sent to me by God?

Hearing Director Zeng's remark, Li Yuan couldn't help but ask further questions.

"Director Zeng, what trouble have you been running into lately?"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Chang hesitated for a moment, then smiled with a hint of helplessness.

"It's nothing major, just the situation at Lingshan No. 2 Middle School."

You've put your school on the right track.

But at No. 2 Middle School over there, there's absolutely no sign of improvement.

"They're all middle schools in Lingshan City. As the bureau chief, I can't completely ignore No. 2 Middle School."

Zeng Chang also felt a sense of helplessness.

Since the last provincial inspection, Lingshan No. 2 Middle School has used many methods to improve teaching and enhance students' quality.

The results were poor. When the municipal education bureau went down to observe the open class again, the results were still poor.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan pondered for a moment.

"A strict teacher produces outstanding students, and outstanding students produce famous teachers."

I have attended classes and given lectures at Lingshan No. 2 Middle School.

The biggest problem there, in my opinion, isn't the quality of the teachers, but rather the school's atmosphere; the academic environment is very lax.

Director Zeng and Li Yuan walked and talked.

In recent years, many education experts have been touting interest-based education and joyful education.

They said it very nicely, and it even seemed to make some sense.

However, when used, the results were very poor.

Humans are naturally inclined to be lazy; it's the foundation of human survival.

In the past, when food was scarce, people had to conserve their energy and strength. Those who were not lazy could not pass on their genes.

But now, if you let the children choose, they will definitely choose to be lazy.

In martial arts practice, apart from a few geniuses who receive feedback, most people do not receive positive feedback in their daily lives.

More often than not, people spend months in arduous training without making any progress whatsoever.

If you let the children choose for themselves at a time like this, they'll give up long ago.

Director Zeng listened from the side, nodding repeatedly.
