Training the Heavens

Chapter 314 Hematopoietic Ability
"No matter what, these students' studies cannot be delayed!" Without much consideration, Ma Xiangbo made up his mind. In his opinion, the relationship with Sheng Xuanhuai is important, but these students are more important.

"It just so happened that Zhou Ping won the Nobel Prize last year and donated most of the prize money to Aurora University. As soon as the money arrived, the school began purchasing land and embarking on large-scale construction. Now some buildings are complete, which is just enough to accommodate these students!"

Ma Xiangbo couldn't help but feel fortunate. If he hadn't received such a fortune, even if he wanted to, he probably wouldn't be able to accept so many students.

Cai Yuanpei was delighted when he heard this. "Thank you, Mr. Ma, and thank you, Zhou Ping! I'll go back and have them report to Aurora University."

"Wait a minute." Zhang Xingjiu quickly stopped him. "How will the teachers and students who dropped out of your school be accommodated when they come to Aurora College? Will they borrow Aurora College's buildings first, with your teachers continuing to teach them, or will they be merged into Aurora College? It's better to clarify these things in advance to avoid any future disputes."

Ma Xiangbo nodded slightly when he heard this, and also agreed with Zhang Xingjiu's statement. If this fundamental problem was not solved, these teachers and students would probably still encounter problems when they came to Aurora University.

Cai Yuanpei calmed down and thought about it, and realized that this was indeed the case. He quickly asked, "What is the difference between these two methods?"

Zhang Xingjiu looked at Ma Xiangbo and said, "If you just want to borrow the school building, that's easy. The school still has vacancies, so you can just use them. The cafeteria, labs, classrooms, and playground are all available. You just need to agree on the time of use in advance."

"It's just that we plan to expand enrollment after the new year, so you'd better find a suitable place before the new students start school next year." It's okay to lend them the place for temporary accommodation, but there has to be a time limit. You can't just stay there forever, right?
"If we merge, both teachers and students will have to undergo assessments. First, we'll take unified exams based on subject departments. Teachers who pass can become full-time teachers at Aurora College, and students who pass can attend classes with students of the corresponding age. It doesn't matter if you don't pass yet; you can study in the preparatory class first and then take the exam next year. If you pass, you can enroll with the new students."

Cai Yuanpei thought about it and felt that both methods were reasonable and would benefit all parties. So he responded, "Both of Zhouping's methods have helped us a lot. I will go back and discuss them with them and report back as soon as I have the results."

"I'll also quickly order someone to clean up the house." Zhang Xingjiu sent him to the door. No matter which one he chose, he would definitely need a house.

When Cai Yuanpei returned to Nanyang Public School, the campus was empty. Most of the students had dropped out and many teachers had left. The principal realized at this time that the situation was out of his control and hurriedly tried to persuade the students to return to school, but unfortunately no one paid attention to him.

The teachers and students who had dropped out gathered outside the school, infuriated but also bewildered. Dropping out was certainly a thrill, but what would they do in the future? They had finally secured the opportunity to attend Nanyang Public School, and now, if they were to leave like this, how would they explain it to their families?
Fortunately, Cai Yuanpei rushed back in time, stood on a high place and shouted, "Teachers and students, I have good news to tell you. Aurora University is willing to accept us! We can continue teaching and classes!"

"Really?"

"Mr. Ma is so righteous!"

The teachers and students felt relieved instantly. As long as there was a place to continue studying, there was no problem.

"I just went to ask Mr. Ma for help, and Mr. Zhou Ping happened to be there. When they heard about this, they immediately decided to help and proposed two options for us to choose from." Cai Yuanpei went through the details and then asked, "Everyone, what do you think we should choose? I won't make the decision for you. Let's all vote democratically, and the minority must obey the majority."

"Of course, it's merged into Aurora University! Mr. Ma has always supported student autonomy. If I go to Aurora University, I will definitely not encounter people like Guo Zhenying who mislead students!" "I'm studying science and engineering. If I can study under Mr. Zhou Ping, it would be a great honor!"

Most of the students chose to merge. Being in Shanghai, they were well aware of Aurora College and had long envied its superb teaching quality and free learning environment. Now that they had the opportunity to study at Aurora College, most of them would not hesitate.

"Teaching in a school in Magong is much better than this kind of decadent school. I also support the merger." Many teachers also expressed their support.

There were still a few teachers who did not speak. It was not that they did not want to join Aurora College, but they felt that it was too unreasonable to have to take an exam before entering. They were all senior teachers who had taught for many years. Could it be that Aurora College did not trust them?

But seeing that so many teachers and students support it, it is difficult for them to stand up and oppose it. Firstly, it is difficult to go against the public opinion, and secondly, if you stand up and oppose the assessment, doesn’t it mean that you have no confidence in your own knowledge?
So, it didn't take long for the teachers and students to reach a consensus. They lined up, sang songs, and walked towards Aurora University in a mighty procession. Along the way, pedestrians on both sides of the street stopped to ask them about the situation.

Some reporters also rushed over and interviewed them.

The principal of Nanyang Public School was completely stunned at this point, not knowing how to respond. He could only shout, "Hurry and report to Master Sheng!"

When they arrived at Aurora College, the meals had already been prepared in the cafeteria. As the hot meals entered their mouths, the teachers and students of Nanyang Public School finally felt the warmth, and many students burst into tears while eating.

On behalf of Aurora University, Ma Xiangbo welcomed their arrival, let them stay in the dormitory, and gave them a few days to prepare before starting the exams. Then, these teachers and students were arranged into appropriate classes based on their scores.

There was a small incident during this period. Several conservative teachers in Aurora College were very dissatisfied with accepting teachers and students from Nanyang Public School. They believed that this incident was caused by the students of Nanyang Public School not respecting their teachers. The handling of the matter by Nanyang Public School could not be said to be wrong. Now that Aurora College has accepted these teachers and students, hasn't it forgotten the hierarchy between teachers and students?

They could not accept this and offered to resign. Ma Xiangbo and Zhang Xingjiu tried to persuade them, but seeing that they were still stubborn, they let them go.

"Alas, even here, there are many people who stick to the old ways. We still have a long way to go to enlighten the people!" Ma Xiangbo sighed.

Zhang Xingjiu echoed a few words and took the opportunity to talk about another matter. "Principal, the Nanyang Public School dropout incident has attracted responses from many schools. Zhejiang Xunxi Public School, Jiangnan Military Academy, and Zhejiang University have also seen many students drop out. Many of them also want to enter Aurora University."

"If we don't accept them, I'm afraid it will discourage new students. If we accept them, the school will be overwhelmed if the number increases. So I think the school still needs to have a certain amount of revenue generation!"
