The intern taught a top-performing class, and the parents wanted to change the homeroom teacher.

When Zhang Chao saw these parents who had suddenly appeared, he was initially filled with doubt.

Then, upon hearing that the other party had come to present a banner, he was completely stunned.

Present a banner?

For me?

I!

I can receive a banner of appreciation too?!

This huge surprise almost left him completely bewildered.

Zhang Chao quickly tidied his clothes and facial expression to make himself look more approachable.

every dog ​​has his day.

Lately, a series of bad things have happened, making him wonder if the feng shui is bad.

Receiving this banner now is a sign that all the hardships have finally paid off.

When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it first tests their resolve and strengthens their body...

It seems all the hardships I endured were worth it!

If he can receive a banner of appreciation, then it doesn't matter if he loses the title of "Gold Medal Class Teacher".

Numerous thoughts flashed through Zhang Chao's mind like lightning.

He immediately stepped down from the podium, smiled, and went to greet them.

"Oh, hello, hello. Thank you for your recognition, parents. There's really no need to send a banner; it's just what I should do."

His voice was a few decibels louder than usual, as if he were showing off something.

Li Zhiyuan smiled, but his eyes held a hint of mockery. "Teacher Lu, hello, hello. I'm Li Jun's father, Li Zhiyuan. We've talked on the phone before. I didn't expect you to look so mature. It's quite a surprise."

He and Lu Qian had never met privately, but they had video-called each other during the Li Jun City competition. So, of course, he was standing up for Teacher Lu.

Do you really think parents have no temper?

The other parents behind him were also trying not to laugh. As expected of President Li, this was a brilliant move.

Wang Lie, standing at the very back, shook his head helplessly. He really hadn't realized that Li Zhiyuan was so cunning.

Zhang Chao's expression froze instantly. What... what teacher?

Am I deaf?

Teacher Lu?

You're mistaken, his surname is Zhang.

Besides, the name Li Zhiyuan sounds familiar.

"Excuse me, parent, I'm not Teacher Lu, I'm Teacher Zhang." Zhang Chao forced a smile, then asked tentatively, "Are you sure you didn't say the wrong surname?"

"That's right!" Li Zhiyuan unfurled the banner. "Look, isn't this for Teacher Lu Qian?"

The banner reads in the center: "Teaching according to aptitude, turning stones into gold."

The small print on the right reads: "Presented to: Teacher Lu Qian."

The small print on the left reads: "Presented by all parents of Class 25, Grade 11, November 21, 2026."

The red background with gold lettering is an honor that every teacher dreams of receiving.

Including Zhang Chao.

But at this moment, the joy on his face had completely faded, replaced by embarrassment.

He stood there, unsure whether to move forward or backward.

"Oh, did I go to the wrong place?" Li Zhiyuan showed a perfectly timed look of confusion. "Oh dear, my mistake. But Teacher Zhang is a good teacher, and she will definitely receive banners of appreciation from students' parents in the future."

What can Zhang Chao say?

He couldn't refute it, and besides, he remembered hearing the name Li Zhiyuan somewhere before.

That day in Director Pan's office, the student who was leading the class, Class 25, said that his father was Li Zhiyuan and that Yuantu Group belonged to his family.

Zhang Chao forced a broad smile, "It's alright, it's alright. Teacher Lu is upstairs."

"Okay, then we're off."

Li Zhiyuan also stopped smiling and turned to leave with the group of parents.

This exchange also attracted the attention of other classes, and the teachers on the same floor all knew that the parents of Class 25 had come to present Lu Qian with a banner.

Teachers who received the banner felt a sense of pride and honor.

The teacher, who had never received a banner of appreciation, had undisguised envy in his eyes.

A large group of parents walked toward Director Pan's office.

Wherever the banner went, it attracted the attention of teachers and students from other classes.

...

After the parents of Class 25 left, Zhang Chao stood by the podium with a cold face, getting angrier the more he thought about it.

These parents are infuriating!

He recalled the scene of the parents of Class 7 arguing in Director Pan's office. They were all parents, so why was there such a big difference between them?

The students' recitation became much quieter.

They were afraid of angering Zhang Chao.

The students almost burst out laughing when what happened just now.

"Can you recite it louder! Recite it for me!" Zhang Chao shouted coldly.

The classroom was immediately filled with the noisy sound of students reciting their lessons.

Offstage, Zhao Qihang put down the book on the table, his brows furrowed. He felt a sharp pain in his stomach and a nauseous feeling of wanting to vomit.

But remembering that he was still in early morning self-study, he had no choice but to pick up his water bottle and take a big gulp of water.

After the nausea in his stomach subsided a little, he picked up the book again and continued reading.

……

Director Pan sat in his office, somewhat puzzled.

Where is this person?

Why haven't they arrived yet?

Could we be lost? That shouldn't be the case.

Some of the parents have been here before.

Just as I was about to make a call to ask, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Li Zhiyuan pushed open the door and went in, followed by the other parents.

Director Pan stood up with a smile, and when he saw the multiple banners, his smile widened. "Come on, come on, I'll take you to find Teacher Lu."

Director Pan led the parents to the math group first.

"Hey, where's Teacher Lu?"

Some math teachers are just subject teachers, currently grading homework.

"He's not in the office, he should be in the classroom. Is he going to deliver a banner?"

Director Pan beamed, "Yes, yes, yes, the parents came to drop them off, and it wasn't just one bag!"

The math teachers' eyes immediately filled with envy.

That's a banner!

Just then, Shao Mingrui returned to his office to get a charger and saw this scene, which stunned him.

"Director, what's this?"

"The parents presented Teacher Lu with a banner."

Shao Mingrui smiled with delight, "What a wonderful banner! This is truly the right gift; Teacher Lu's teaching is indeed excellent!"

"Of course." Director Pan happily called Lu Qian.

Lu Qian was writing a lesson plan when he saw that the caller ID showed it was Director Pan, and he was taken aback.

It seems like nothing good ever comes from Director Pan calling him.

A moment later, he answered the phone.

He didn't say anything on the phone, just told him to come over as soon as possible.

His tone wasn't as heavy as before; on the contrary, he seemed quite happy.

What's making you so happy?

When Lu Qian arrived at the math group and saw this group of parents, he was taken aback.

"this……"

Li Zhiyuan smiled sincerely, stepped forward, and held up the banner. "Teacher Lu, we came here today to thank you."

Our children's grades were previously lagging behind, and we parents were almost at our wits' end. Thankfully, you took over the class and helped improve the children's grades.

As parents, we are deeply grateful and are presenting this banner to express our heartfelt thanks!

Lu Qian's face was filled with surprise, and a great sense of accomplishment welled up in his heart. "Parents, you are too kind. As a teacher, this is what I should do! Besides, it wouldn't have been possible without the cooperation of the parents and the hard work of the children to bring up the scores."

His words were praised by the teacher, students, and parents alike.

Everyone present laughed.

"How about we talk in my office?" Director Pan said.

I came down here for no other reason than to show off.

If he wasn't worried about it being inappropriate, he would have liked to take Lu Qian for a stroll around the first and third year high school classes.

I feel so honored!

The group arrived at Director Pan's office.

"Teacher Lu, to express our gratitude, we have ordered six banners, five of which are specially made for you," Li Zhiyuan said with a smile.

Other parents also unfurled these banners, all of which were presented by Lu Qian.

Lu Qian felt both surprised and touched.

Receiving five banners on my first visit is an immense honor.

"What about the other side?" Director Pan asked curiously.

Li Zhiyuan looked towards the back, where Wang Lie slowly stepped forward with a brocade banner in his hand. Director Pan's eyes immediately widened.

"king……"

"I'm here today as a parent as well," Wang Lie said with a smile.

"Brother Wang," Director Pan also chose this form of address.

"Before Teacher Lu came, the children weren't doing well in school, but the other teachers didn't shirk their responsibilities either; they taught everything they were supposed to, and we are very grateful. The sixth banner is for all the teachers of Class 25!" Wang Lie said.
