I was reborn without dreams

Chapter 92 Teacher Zhang Xiaobai
"Director Han, are the preliminary results out?"

"Oh, Mr. Zhang, this batch of new trainees are all quite good, much better than the previous batch."

There are still things to do in the dreary month of August, some of them quite trivial, such as military training, intensive training, and class scheduling, all of which need to be done in advance and in an orderly manner.

Once these materials are archived, they become internal documents and can be published and sold for money.

This year, Zhang Da'an no longer needs to create his own standardized assessment materials; each subject's coaching team simply follows the guidelines. Among them, the Chinese language team, having conducted the assessment first, also released the scores the fastest.

Early in the morning, Han Tieguai was in the office organizing the marking of papers. The process was as efficient as an assembly line. For students like Zhao Yiwan and Qian Xiaoshuang, the focus was on classical Chinese appreciation and reading comprehension. The essays were a bit special, with no fixed theme, allowing the new students to express themselves freely.

In other words, new students can write whatever they want, there is no word limit, they can write wherever they want, even three lines or eight characters are fine.

Within "Zhang An Education," the writings only emphasize strengthening students' technical skills, which naturally requires a little "tailored approach."

If you find the "sweet spot" in a student's writing style and content, you can help them write one or more of their most satisfactory model essays within a year.

Memorize it, remember it, and then you can perform freely in the exam.

If you can get at least 50 out of 60 points on the Chinese composition, you've already won half the battle.

This will also greatly reduce the workload for coaches.

Although it may harm the students' future literary and artistic development, how many people actually deal with literature and art in their entire lives?

Just deal with it.

Everything for the students, everything for the students!
The essence behind this statement is still about exams.

At "Zhang An Education," Zhang Da'an still acts all high and mighty, talking at length to the media, colleagues, management departments, parents, and so on, about the all-round development of teenagers in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor.

After all, now that you've put on the "monk's robe," you can't just keep saying things like "I'm not going to pretend anymore." You have to have the attitude of "If I don't go to hell, who will?"

What's there to be afraid of if someone calls you a great demon?
My buddy also has a vajra, and it's even gold.

In the latest episode of "Top Scholar's Talk," Zhang Da'an continued to spout outrageous remarks, sparking a war of words between him and various experts.

But Zhang Da'an's strategy was very simple: if others criticized me, I would criticize the big cities.

Zhang Da'an was indeed quite ruthless. During the online battles, he paid media outlets from Hebei and Shandong provinces to go directly to schools in the suburbs of Beijing to film and interview, claiming that he was commissioned by "the top scholar" to gather material.

They've messed up Beijing TV.

The reason lies with the education channel of Beijing TV, which recently brought in two professors and three experts to repeatedly criticize Zhang Da'an, saying things like "some places are acting recklessly" and "they are turning a deaf ear to the call to action and continuing to push for exam-oriented education"...

These are all on the front lines.

In addition, there is the argument that "top scorers who don't pursue higher education are wasting their talents and being irresponsible to society." In short, there are a very few top scorers who have betrayed society and are parasites and scum.

These are tough jobs!

Zhang Da'an remained calm, even though his superiors sent people to inquire about the situation and even considered taking some measures, such as suspending the event, to appease public opinion.

Zhang Da'an immediately applauded and strongly supported this matter. The "Notice on the Suspension and Rectification of Xindongwei Port Middle School" that he issued in the morning was called by someone in the afternoon, who said that the matter was still under discussion and deliberation, so why did he stab himself with three and six holes first?

This is a one-time exception.

Is it magical?
of course not.

However, Zhang Da'an's students all have a powerful grandfather or grandmother at home.

He no longer worries about losing a few bushels of grain, because with two top scholars, both in the arts and sciences, he can make a fortune every day just from "Zhang An Health".

Not to mention "Zhang An Media," he barks like a dog on "Zhuangyuan Shuo" every day, and the sheer volume of discussion is enough to make him live a very fulfilling life.

Whether "Zhang An Education" exists or not is no longer important at this point.

Even if Xindongweigang Middle School were to close down, and then be transformed into a packaging building for "Little Champion QQ Candy," would that be a big deal?
This kind of battle of wits from afar is all about determination.

When the provincial authorities saw that the young man was quite skilled, they immediately launched a magic war against Beijing TV, their message being: What are you barking about, you dog?!

Everyone is undergoing college entrance examination reform and preparing for independent question setting in the college entrance examination. Why is it that my Jiangkou Province is treated like a "national advanced involution demonstration zone"?
In this respect, it is quite rare for cities and prefectures in the province to unite together; local forces do sometimes band together, after all.

As a result, the college entrance examination results of Xindongweigang Middle School, which were originally being promoted in a low-key manner, became known throughout the country due to the promotion of various local forces.

Zhang Da'an's efforts to find media outlets in South China, West China, and Central China to place advertisements required considerable sincerity.

But if the province asks a brother unit for a favor, isn't that just a token gesture?
Of course there was communication, but it can't really be called communication; it was more like a promise.

First, we will not use poaching tactics as our primary strategy; second, we will not establish schools in other provinces to poach students; third…

The order after third is arbitrary; it's simply about everyone working together to contribute to the development of the nation's education.

At present, the main problem is adding bricks, with bricks flying everywhere, causing chaos and disorder.

Outside, the wind and rain raged, and lightning flashed and thunder roared. Even Uncle Zhang, who was usually lazy and unwilling to work hard, panicked, fearing that his extraordinary nephew might be about to sink and capsize.

When they came to "inspect" the opening of the new school year at Xindongweigang Middle School, they found that everything was in good order and the atmosphere was still peaceful and harmonious.

My nephew is still fully committed to teaching in the new semester. He makes the dog spin around and jump around, and the teaching results are remarkable.

"stand at attention!"

"Wang!"

"Welcome, parents, to our office for guidance!"

"Woof woof woof woof..."

"Hello students!"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

……

Seeing this, Uncle Zhang was immediately delighted. "This dog is pretty good, so clever!"

"I hired him at a high price, what do you think?"

"Have you chosen a name yet?"

"What do you think of calling him Zhang Zhengxi, Uncle?"

"I think you little monkey want to get slapped."

"Hahahahahaha..."

In the end, the dog wasn't named Zhang Zhengxi, and no generation name was added.

The dog eventually got a name, "Zhang Xiaobai," but the trainees who had already started training preferred to call it "Teacher Bai from the infirmary."

Thankfully, "Zhang Xiaobai" was a male dog; otherwise, Zhang Da'an couldn't imagine how these trainees would remember "Teacher Bai" from the infirmary years later. As for why the black dog "Zhang Xiaobai" wasn't called "Zhang Xiaohei," it was because when the dog tag was being made, the nanny, Shi Yelu, got so nervous that she misspoke.

Although the nanny wasn't very bright, the dog was, so it wasn't a big problem; it knew it was being called.

Since it was still a puppy, Zhang Da'an would take it with him when traveling between the Mazhou branch campus and the main campus. The dog wasn't afraid of unfamiliar environments. Although it was alert, it had a great ability to observe the atmosphere, as if it could smell the school. It was very popular on both campuses.

He almost went bald at a young age.

There's no way around it; Chinese teenagers have always been born with the dog-petting gene. "Zhang Xiaobai" gets his head petted every day while on duty. This greyhound hasn't even reached its molting period yet, but it's already showing faint signs of old age.

After the military training and intensive training are over, there will be a three-day break before the start of the new semester. These are also the three days when the parents who accompany their children to study will nag the most. There will be all sorts of instructions and reminders, but there will be no pressure. They will not bring up how much money the family spent and how much effort it took to get them here.

For similar home-school communication, "Zhang An Education" has a very formal "Letter to Parents" that lists a large number of similar communication scenarios between parents and children.

The effect may not be 100%, but it definitely has some effect.

It's not like there aren't parents who make unreasonable demands. Zhang Da'an didn't waste any words and gave them two choices: one, apologize; two, pay up and take the person away.

So far, none of those who paid have taken the child away out of spite.

As the saying goes, a person's reputation precedes them. Zhang Da'an's current fame may not be particularly explosive nationwide, but within the province, no one can compete with him.

He's the only one that can turn a high school prep course into a multi-million dollar business, and he didn't do it through promotion, distributing flyers, or recruiting people; it's purely based on his solid skills that he achieved that multi-million dollar revenue.

Among those that have achieved a scale of over 100 million yuan, only "Zhang An Education" remains.

Jiangning even sent a special industrial development investigation team to inquire whether they had any plans to go public.

If available, a professional team will cooperate.

Zhang Da'an didn't care, but the people on the sandbar were unwilling and blocked him directly.

In the first half of the year, the city was actually considering promoting the listing of "Zhang'an Education". They even learned from the neighboring Jiyang City. In addition, they had already successfully operated the Shazhou Rural Commercial Bank. In terms of both reason and emotion, these were quite good and even extremely eye-catching achievements.

But in the end, a closed-door meeting was held. Zhang Da'an was the main person in charge, but Qiu Jianmin and Zhang Zhengdong were the ones putting on a show, representing the Municipal Education Investment Company.

One basic principle is not to go public; it's a unique business, so there's no need to go public.

Another principle, which is not a fundamental principle, is to expand partnerships and expand from within the province to outside the province.

The main focus is on the dividends from Xindongweigang Middle School under "Zhang'an Education". The dividends from a single school may not be too much, but for Shazhou, which is undergoing rapid industrial development, a few million or tens of millions of yuan is not a problem at this stage. Of course, for townships, it is definitely a shortage.

From a long-term development perspective, one school isn't enough; we should aim for ten, a hundred, a thousand...

When Zhang Da'an heard the harsh words from above during the meeting, he had to admit, "What the hell am I doing, acting so crazy? Everyone says they're ruthless, but am I really?"
So now, the situation is that the people in Shazhou will help "Zhang An Education" explore the path in advance, especially regarding the counterpart assistance policies and the policies for external assistance and support. They can also take the opportunity to help "Zhang An Education" get a feel for the situation.

The investigation reports alone can save a few million dollars every year.

Going public?

What a trivial city.

It was also because of various little incidents and rumors from the province to the city that those powerful "ladies" who could send their children here were all quite respectful of their teachers.

It's not that they didn't want to put pressure on their sons or daughters; it was all out of respect for head coach Zhang An. So the "Letter to Parents" they received wasn't treated like toilet paper as before.

Whenever something goes wrong or there's a problem, they always try to shift the blame to the school?
Then head coach Zhang An would have to give me a serious warning: It seems you really want to give me a run for my money.

Try to compete with me? Do you even have the ability?

This was a subtle exchange that could only be understood intuitively, and the trainees who came for training naturally did not know it. However, some trainees who were used to pressure could still sense the difference.

In the hearts of some trainees, head coach Zhang An is second only to "Teacher Bai".

There's no way around it, "Teacher Bai" is just too adorable.

Good morning, Teacher Bai!

"Wow~"

"Good morning, Teacher Bai!"

"Woof~ Ha, ha, ha..."

A dog, wagging its tail and panting, circled around the school gate to welcome the new students on their first day of registration.

Standing to the side, Zhang Da'an was dressed in a black suit with a red tie, a perfect match for the dog's color scheme.

"Zhang Xiaobai" is not a black dog; its tongue is red, and it is very noticeable when it sticks out its tongue.

Whenever it was about to approach groups of trainees, Zhang Da'an would shout to stop them: "Do you still want to work here?! Stand at attention!"

"Wang!"

Then the dog tilted its head back, looking almost like a miniature stone lion.

Amidst the laughter of the trainees, "Zhang Xiaobai" stood alone, seemingly untouched by the world.

Goodbye, Teacher Bai~~

"See you at noon, Teacher Bai~~"

"Teacher Bai, I'll bring you chicken drumsticks for lunch~~"

vigilance!

Keywords...

drumstick!

"Hahaha……"

Zhang Xiaobai, who had just become serious, couldn't help but drool, but since there were no chicken legs, he licked his lips a couple of times and was able to regain some of his spirit.

Parents initially wanted to voice their concerns about the school keeping dogs, worried that their children might get bitten or scratched by the dogs.

But Zhang Zhengdong is at the main campus, and Zhang Da'an is at the Mazhou branch campus. No matter who offers suggestions, it won't work. If you offer suggestions, you'll have to take your child away.

No opinions or suggestions will be accepted.

Even the experts couldn't help. There was nothing they could do. The head coach started warming up again this year, planning to pull off another big score in the 2014-2015 college entrance examination.

On the bulletin boards outside the gates of both campuses, there is still that bright slogan: 300 days until our student Zhang An becomes the top scorer in the 1946 1998 college entrance examination.

The main campus naturally didn't take it seriously and was used to it, but the Ma Zhou branch campus was quite lively. Originally, the number of parents willing to come and accompany their children to study hadn't exploded yet, but because of this slogan, the rental rooms that had been prepared were somewhat insufficient.

These parents had no other intentions; it wasn't that they didn't believe in head coach Zhang An's abilities, but rather that they wanted to see it for themselves.
