Who would study psychology if they didn't have some kind of problem?

Chapter 309 Education is about human relationships and social skills

Director Zhang didn't pull Chang Ming very hard.

This action carries a certain "struggle" element; it represents a struggle between the two sides for control of the current situation.

However, in the face of this "struggle".

Chang Ming made no move to object. His expression immediately relaxed, a change in expression and emotion that seemed almost practiced.

As if it were a habit, they immediately conceded defeat in the "competition".

He followed the lead and let Director Zhang guide him, but he still said, "Those two expert teachers are indeed very professional."

"How professional can it be?" Director Zhang countered.

Chang Ming did not answer Director Zhang's question, nor was it a question that needed to be answered.

He already knew what the other person meant.

Vice Principal Ma ran ahead to lead the way for the two, while the Dean of Students quietly lagged behind the others and made a phone call.

……

The middle school administration has a set of fixed measures to deal with these surprise inspections from above.

The most common tactic is to deal with the Education Bureau's inspections of weekend tutoring classes, which includes, but is not limited to: giving advance notice, conducting student evacuation drills, temporarily suspending classes, and temporarily changing classrooms, etc.

There are also established strategies for dealing with this kind of conversation.

If you clearly define the person you are talking to, you can create a set of scripts similar to those used in training.

If you don't know who you're talking to, you can stall for time and get through this conversation; then when someone from above comes again, you'll have the preparation and experience to deal with it.

Of course, to do all this, cooperation from others is definitely needed.

Education is not just about grades and college admissions; it also involves interpersonal relationships and social skills.

……

Jiangyi Middle School is really big. As Vice Principal Ma and Director Zhang walked around chatting, the last student finished training and left the playground just as they reached it.

Next to the playground is another office building, which houses the offices of the physical education teachers.

At that moment, the physical education teachers inside looked like they were packing up to leave work.

"Scholar Ma, and these two are..."

As soon as Vice Principal Ma entered, the oldest-looking physical education teacher came up to greet him. After learning about the situation with a surprised expression, he immediately directed the other physical education teachers to set up a small meeting room.

"Xiao Wang, come here for a moment," Vice Principal Ma said to one of the female teachers. "The two directors want to ask you about Li Mingchen's situation."

"Everyone else, go do what you were doing!"

As he spoke, Vice Principal Ma turned to Chang Ming and introduced them:
“At this time in the past, the students would have finished training, and the teachers would be about to go home.”

“In our school, athletes are usually assigned to specific physical education teachers after their events are determined—Li Mingchen is taught by Teacher Wang.”

So "coach" is actually "physical education teacher".

Having a fixed teacher as a coach to be responsible for a fixed number of students, with dedicated personnel improving their performance in specific areas, has many advantages in sports.

Coaches can gain a deeper understanding of students' physical conditions, making it easier to identify weaknesses and develop specialized training plans.

"These are advanced physical education teaching concepts that our research team specifically learned when we were sent to schools in the United States!"

"Since then, the rate of our sports students getting into key universities has increased significantly, with remarkable results," Vice Principal Ma stated confidently.

Chang Ming responded to Vice Principal Ma's advanced teaching philosophy with conventional social expressions.

He made a phone call, said a few words, and then turned to Director Zhang and said, "I've notified those two expert teachers. They seem to be doing some data analysis for the students right now. They'll be here in about ten minutes..."

Director Zhang replied, "Then let's get started quickly, the sooner we start, the sooner we can finish."

He had a decisive and efficient demeanor, as if there was some urgent matter at work that needed his attention.

At the same time, he cut off Chang Ming's next words and waved for Vice Principal Ma to bring in Li Mingchen's coach.

"Teacher Wang, right?" Director Zhang's tone was somewhat stiff, even though Teacher Wang was a rare female physical education teacher, he still maintained a businesslike attitude. This attitude, however, relieved Vice Principal Ma, who was standing to the side, who was somewhat nervous.

"We should have had some colleagues come to you before to inquire about Li Mingchen. He's one of your students, right?"

Coach Wang nodded.

"Okay, about his situation..."

"..."

Time passed by minute by minute.

Chang Ming didn't speak, but kept checking his watch.

Coach Wang answered with a tense expression and a methodical manner.

Vice Principal Ma began to smile.

at last.

"That's all for today." Director Zhang also had a form in his hand, which was now filled with unusually large font and equally large gaps between the text.

He turned around and asked, "Old Chang, shall we go back?"

Chang Ming did not reply.

"I'll see you both off." Vice Principal Ma immediately stood up and turned to Coach Wang, saying, "Xiao Wang, you can go home too. There's nothing for you here."

Coach Wang darted out immediately.

Through the door she went out through, she could see that the other physical education teachers in the office area had already left work, and the place was empty.

Once her figure had completely disappeared from sight, Vice Principal Ma finally relaxed.

He knew this conversation was over. He couldn't possibly fool everyone again, but this experience would be invaluable for the next one.

Director Zhang looked at Chang Ming again: "Old Chang?"

“…Old Zhang, let me see your report,” Chang Ming suddenly said.

This is certainly not an excessive request.

Chang Ming took the report from Director Zhang, quickly glanced at it, and pointed out the problem: "This report needs to be signed by all participants."

Director Zhang said matter-of-factly, "Why don't you just sign it?"

Chang Ming shook his head: "And those two expert teachers, they also have to sign off—it's a requirement from the leadership."

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Director Zhang hadn't expected things to go smoothly until the very end, and he seemed really eager to get this over with. "Never mind... your two expert teachers should be here soon, right? If not, we can go get their signatures..."

Chang Ming shook his head: "But they didn't participate in this conversation, and signing it means taking responsibility for the content of the conversation. What if they don't want to sign?"

"...There's no need for so many rules about signatures!"

Director Zhang completely disregarded Vice Principal Ma's opinion: "Then what do we do? Call that coach back and talk to him again?"

At this moment, Chang Ming showed an unusual stubbornness: "Principal Ma, I may not have explained things clearly just now, which has led to a slight oversight in the current work - could you call Teacher Wang back?"

Principal Ma's expression was somewhat stiff, but he still tried his best to look troubled: "I already told Teacher Wang that I was off work. Let me call her; she should be able to come back..."

……

Nan Zhuren and Chonghui looked at the playground with some surprise.

"Did those PE students finish training this early today...? Huh?"

Nan Zhuren watched the female teacher rushing out of the playground.

Looking at the other person's expression, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then, he decisively adjusted his expression, put on a smile, and stepped forward to say, "Hello~"
