I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 128: The ban on Ye Xian is lifted!

Principal Wang lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and said leisurely, "Have you spoken with the supervising mentors yet?"

Director Dou smiled and said, "Teacher Liu Fengying is a veteran teacher. I don't think she will resist this little thing. It's just a nominal apology, and there won't be any real punishment. She has that kind of magnanimity."

"What do you think about Ye Xian's songs?"

Principal Wang pointed out the key issue: "A student who is expelled is not a big deal! But if a student who is expelled becomes a so-called genius in the eyes of the media and netizens, then we need to consider how to deal with that."

"I haven't come up with a good solution yet; I'd appreciate your guidance, Principal Wang!"

How could Director Dou not know where the key point was? He knew very well that the most crucial thing was that the school had expelled a genius!

He listened to all ten of Ye Xian's songs last night, including "Flying in the Sky" and "I Will Wait," for a full two or three hours. Even though he works in administration, he couldn't help but marvel at how some of Ye Xian's songs were ones that even some of the college's teachers might not be able to write.

Ye Xian's fans hit the nail on the head.

The older generation of professors naturally have various representative works, while the new generation of teachers may each have their own strengths, such as background music for large-scale programs, background music for large-scale events, musicals, orchestra performances, theme songs for movies and TV series, competition music, etc. However, they are still somewhat weak in the area of ​​popular music. After all, it is rare to hear of any music academy teacher who is famous for popular music.

If you check the resumes of the younger generation of teachers, you'll find very few representative works. What they can actually show for themselves is their role as judges in various singing competitions.

The fault is more severe than we imagined.

Conversely, in recent years, some singers have been hired as music teachers at universities, which has caused a lot of controversy.

Many netizens are questioning whether he is qualified.

Therefore, many singers are more willing to work their way into becoming mentors in competitions, but this can easily lead to conflicts with some teachers at music academies, and they are likely to be criticized.

Director Dou couldn't quite gauge the situation, so he avoided the main point and instead first stated the proper attitude a school should have towards expulsion.

Present the facts and reason to reverse the tide, then have the courage to admit mistakes and retreat in order to advance, but do not change the established order.

Once a student is expelled, that's it; it can't be reversed. Otherwise, how could a school change its decisions so easily just because netizens disagree?

However, even if no changes are made, a tactful expression is still needed. This is the most important point, and it is also why Director Dou did not easily express his opinion, leaving room for the leader to make his own decisions.

If you're too clever for everything and do everything yourself, your boss won't feel a sense of accomplishment.

"Hmm, this is indeed a bit difficult to handle!"

Principal Wang rubbed his temples: "The little guy does have some talent, but once he's expelled, he's expelled. However, we should always leave room for maneuver so that we don't have trouble meeting him in the future. We can't leave people with a bad reputation for bullying the younger generation."

"I heard that Teacher Liu has been making some moves behind the scenes?"

Director Dou lowered his head and chuckled, "It seems so. I heard she spoke to some of our partners, and I feel like she's making a mountain out of a molehill."

"Hmph, this is getting more and more outrageous! Is school a place for her to do this kind of nonsense?"

Here's what you'd like to do: send Ye Xian a private invitation. Graduation season is coming up soon, and we, along with the Imperial Conservatory of Music and the Magic Ocean Conservatory of Music, hold a graduation concert every year. This year it's our turn to host, so let's give an extra spot to Ye Xian. We sincerely invite him to return to his alma mater to perform on the 6th.

This graduation concert, jointly organized by the top three music conservatories in China and the top ten in the world, is of extremely high caliber. This opportunity is usually reserved for the most outstanding graduates. Many veteran musicians will also be present. Isn't he good at songwriting? Let him seize this opportunity!

Principal Wang tapped the table and looked at Director Dou, saying, "Go and warn Teacher Liu privately again that he shouldn't go too far in some things and should quiet down for a while."

Contact Ye Xian's agent again in your personal capacity and tell him that the school has helped Ye Xian deal with these messes, and ask him to guide the fans.

Teacher Liu's influence is limited after all; sometimes, getting the school involved makes things look bad!

Director Dou immediately gave a thumbs up: "Principal Wang is too great! Otherwise, how could you be a leader while I'm just a junior director? I've been thinking about this for days and haven't come up with such a good solution."

Principal Wang smiled reservedly, clearly pleased.

Offering a resource is a way to demonstrate the school's generosity without being overly ingratiating.

Most importantly, Principal Wang spoke up and lifted the ban on Ye Xian.

This is much more important than a spot in a concert!

In the adult world, self-interest trumps right and wrong.

I imagine Ye Xian would be very grateful to the school for helping him resolve the ban!

……

When Teacher Liu received the notification from Director Dou, she was so angry that she smashed her bone china teacup, which she had used for many years, to pieces in her office.

"What kind of mess is this?"

"So, I'm the only one who's caught in the middle?"

The more Ms. Liu thought about it, the more wronged she felt.

It was you, Ye Xian, who begged me for help back then, which is why I introduced my nephew to you to sell your goods!

I didn't get a single penny for myself; I was just trying to help you out of kindness!

Your product is disappointing and doesn't sell well, and you turn around and blame me?

And then there's that good-for-nothing nephew, Liu Bohan.

You're a second-tier celebrity, and you can't even sell any alcohol? Are all your fans free? Or are they fake fans you bought?

In the end, I paid for all the wine I sold myself!

To avoid damaging your reputation with a 200,000 yuan order, you asked me to persuade him to back out. You earn tens of millions a year, but do you ever share a single penny with me, your aunt?

Now you want me to find someone to steal the contract? Don't you think it's easy to steal?

And the school, you agreed to expel me back then, but now you're blaming me?

Do I not know how to care for my students?

Am I heartless and ungrateful?

If you are so kind and compassionate, why don't you go and visit their homes?

Did I not report to you that Ye Xian's parents had died?

The other teachers in the office had all slipped away long ago; they all knew very well that Teacher Liu had been having a run of bad luck lately.

A student she advocated for expulsion has now become a genius, able to write a song with excellent lyrics and music in ten minutes. Everyone here is a music major, and their ability to discern is much stronger than that of ordinary people. They can tell where the limits of the music are after listening to it once.

When they persuaded Ye Xian to leave, they felt something was off.

Aren't there enough college students who fail their courses? Don't they all have to retake them several times?

Skipping class? What a joke! Go find out if any college student doesn't skip class.

However, Liu Fengying was too resolute at the time, so everyone just kept quiet about it. Now that Ye Xian has risen to prominence, they all started to secretly mock him.

Do you think nobody knows that you had your nephew promote the products but only sold a few bottles?

You think you're the only one in the entire college who doesn't know?

If Director Dou hadn't issued a strict order forbidding media interviews, the internet would probably be in an uproar by now.

There are no secrets in the world. The teachers at the same school all knew about it, and no matter how strict Director Dou was, he couldn't shut everyone up.

It was only a matter of time before this was exposed.

Everyone was just waiting to see the joke.
