The night before the college entrance exam results were released, I redeemed my Peking University ad

Ji Bai Research Institute...Affiliated High School?

Ji Bai raised an eyebrow.

Comrade Lao Wang's awareness is several levels higher than he imagined.

To be honest, the Ji Bai Research Institute Affiliated High School has some merit in this idea.

"I'm fine with anything, as long as the city and district approve."

"Okay! Fine! As long as you agree! As long as you agree!"

Old Wang was so happy he couldn't stop smiling, and he almost jumped up on the spot after hanging up the phone.

This is no ordinary signboard; it's the only "Ji Bai" branded middle school in the entire country.

In the future, the province will pour all its educational funding, top-notch teachers, and guaranteed admission quotas into this area.

Top students from across the province and even the country would scramble to get in, causing the school's status to skyrocket.

A deputy director of a district education bureau is at most a deputy section chief, and even after retirement, he may not be able to reach the level of a full section chief.

Is he the principal of the affiliated middle school of Keji Bai Research Institute?

It may not even have deputy sections now, but once the superconducting industry is fully developed, this school will eventually become a provincial key school and a national benchmark. It's only a matter of time before its level is raised.

If he were promoted even half a rank, he would be equivalent to the deputy director of the district education bureau.

If we were to raise it by one level...

Hey!

Old Wang happily dialed Director Li's number again at the district education bureau.

After hearing this, Director Li immediately felt envious.

To be honest, he even wanted to roll up his sleeves and become the principal.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he's currently in charge of No. 99 Middle School. With the name "Ji Bai" attached to him, the school might end up under the direct jurisdiction of the Provincial Department of Education in the future, and his rank might even rise to the level of a full-fledged department head or even a deputy director-general.

In the end, the weight of a school principal may not be much less than that of a vice mayor.

From now on, whenever there's a meeting, he'll probably have to stand up and shake hands with Old Wang, calling him "Principal Wang."

Despite his envy, Director Li didn't dare to harbor any ulterior motives once he heard that Ji Bai himself had agreed.

Director Li quickly adjusted his mindset, his tone shifting from casual to warm, even carrying a hint of ingratiation that he himself didn't realize:

"Old Wang, you're so quick-witted! How come I didn't think of such a great idea? Since Ji Bai has agreed, there's definitely no problem with this."

"I'll report this good news to the city right away. Don't worry, the city will definitely approve it."

"From now on, our district's education system will have to take your No. 99 Middle School as the benchmark! Maybe then, I'll need you, Old Wang, to look after me."

Wang Jianguo quickly declined, his tone as sincere as could be: "Director Li, what are you saying? No matter where I become the principal, I, Old Wang, will always be your soldier!"

After hanging up the phone, Director Li immediately reported to the city.

The city bureau chief was equally envious after reading the application.

He had to admit that the person who came up with the idea was absolutely a genius!

The Ji Bai Research Institute is the core of the global superconducting industry and the heart of the national science and technology strategy for the next few decades.

The addition of the word "affiliated" signifies that this school now possesses a unique identity.

It will no longer be an ordinary high school; it will be a cradle for nurturing future talents for the country's superconducting industry!

From now on, the nation's top science and engineering students will have to work incredibly hard to get into this school.

Parents are going crazy buying and renting houses in the surrounding area, and the price of school district housing can skyrocket.

Those principals of key high schools who used to ignore No. 99 Middle School will now have to come and learn from their experience.

But he also understood that this matter was no longer something that he, as the director of the municipal bureau, could decide on his own.

Although it was just the renaming of a high school, it involved Ji Bai's name, so it became a huge deal.

"I agree in principle! However, this matter must be discussed with the Prefect."

The director sighed: "These days, anything related to Ji Bai is no small matter."

When the news reached Prefect Liu, he was in his office discussing the supporting roads for the industrial park with several department heads.

Upon hearing the secretary's report, the Prefect was first taken aback, then chuckled.

That old Wang is truly a remarkable person.

He'd only ever seen one person in his half-life who could flatter someone to this level.

Others flatter by giving cigarettes, alcohol, and inviting people to dinner; Old Wang flattered by changing the school's name.

That was the key move, executed perfectly.

This not only expressed his respect for Ji Bai, but also conveniently tied his future to Ji Bai Research Institute, killing two birds with one stone, as slippery as an eel.

He wasn't jealous at all.

No matter how much Old Wang tries to cause trouble, a high school principal can't compare to his position as prefect.

Moreover, what he now holds in his hands is the implementation of the entire room-temperature superconducting industry chain, a trillion-yuan-level industrial cluster, and the historic transformation of Fucheng from a declining old industrial city into a global superconducting capital.

To put it bluntly, his name will one day be written into history books along with that of this city.

"This is a good idea, and I agree in principle. However, since it involves the naming rights of student Ji Bai, I still need to consult with the Provincial Governor."

And so, an ordinary high school whose undergraduate rate was once lower than its birth rate, with a simple name change application, received the green light all the way from the district to the city and then to the province, and was placed directly on the provincial governor's desk.

After reading the report, the provincial governor laughed heartily, picked up his pen, and immediately wrote in approval: Approved! Handle this as a special case!

He added at the end, "This is a good thing. It will not only enhance the reputation of local education but also give Ji Bai a sense of belonging. Subsequent educational resources should be prioritized to make this school a benchmark for the entire province."

When the news reached back, the entire education system of Liaoning Province was shaken.

The first to feel the shock were the school principals who had sat down with Wang Jianguo for meetings.

In the past, at city-wide education work conferences, Wang Jianguo was always the one sitting in the last corner, having to pour his own tea and collect his own materials.

During the break, other principals chatted in small groups about college admission rates and boasted about how many students they had sent to Tsinghua and Peking Universities this year. Old Wang could only stand alone in the corridor, staring blankly out the window. Occasionally, someone would pass by and nod to him, which was considered a great sign of respect.

Now things are much better. As soon as the official document from the province came out, the principals of those key high schools who used to ignore him started calling one after another.

The enthusiasm in the words and the humility in the attitude made Lao Wang wonder if he had picked up the wrong phone.

Besides Principal Wang, the teachers at No. 99 Middle School have also become the envy of the entire provincial system.

What was No. 99 Middle School like in the past?

It is widely recognized as the "place of exile" in the entire Fucheng education circle.

With poor student quality and low college entrance rate, the undergraduate rate has been hovering around the passing mark for many years, and it can't even compete with other schools in terms of junior college rate.

Teachers with connections are desperately trying to be transferred out, while those without background or qualifications are "thrown" here to just get by.

As we all know, in a teacher's income structure, salary is only the foundation; what really creates the gap is the tutoring fee.

In top-tier middle schools, a math teacher might teach two small classes on weekends, with twenty students in each class. He would charge each student several hundred yuan, and the tutoring fees would be several times higher than his salary each month.

Changing cars every year and houses every three years is not just a casual saying!

In addition, there are red envelopes, shopping cards, and local specialties given by parents during holidays...

To put it simply, the income of teachers in top-tier middle schools is even higher than that of senior white-collar workers in large companies!

But teachers from No. 99 Middle School are an exception!

Parents at No. 99 Middle School don't even expect their children to get into university, so who would pay for tutoring from the teachers here?

Even if you need to make up for it, you should find a teacher from another school.

To put it bluntly, the teachers at No. 99 Middle School are at the bottom of the teaching profession in Fucheng and even the entire Liaoning Province!

Earning a fixed salary with no hope in sight.

But now, overnight, everything has changed!
