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

Lu Qian breathed a sigh of relief; the task of persuading Feng Jianping and Wu Suning was complete.

But while doing this task, a side quest was triggered.

The parents and children are not getting along.

No, I have to say something.

Lu Qian began, "We've pretty much covered Zhiqiang's basketball game, but Mr. Feng and Zhiqiang almost got into an argument just now, this..."

Feng Jianping sighed, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Teacher Lu. The children are all grown up now and have their own ideas. They start arguing after just a few words."

Lu Qian nodded slightly, "I understand. I've been through Zhiqiang's age too, so I can understand what people at that age are thinking."

"There's no real grudge between parents and children; most of the time it's just a matter of poor communication."

"One can't express themselves, and the other doesn't want to."

"Zhiqiang shouldn't have yelled at you; that's wrong. I'll go and criticize him in a bit. But Mr. Feng, you should also change your communication style a little."

Teenagers have many ideas and quick thinking. Sometimes it's not that they can't communicate, but rather that you keep interrupting them. Over time, they'll definitely become unwilling to talk to you anymore. Letting them finish speaking before proceeding with further communication will be much better.

Feng Jianping nodded slowly, "I understand, teacher."

"Okay, then when Zhiqiang comes out in a bit, you should apologize to him. Of course, he also has to come out and apologize to you, that's for sure!"

As if he had made up his mind, Feng Jianping said, "Okay!"

……

Inside the bedroom.

Feng Zhiqiang was sitting at the table doing his homework when he heard a knock on the door, so he quickly ran to open it.

Upon seeing that it was Lu Qian, a glimmer of hope immediately appeared in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qian sighed and said, "Let's go inside and talk."

Feng Zhiqiang's heart skipped a beat; this reaction meant he was doomed.

All his strength vanished instantly, and he seemed to bend over. He forced a smile to comfort Lu Qian, "It's alright, Teacher Lu. I can study too. Please sit here."

He gave up his chair and sat on the bed, looking completely lost and dejected.

Lu Qian sat down and slowly said, "Well... after my efforts, your parents have agreed to let you play basketball."

"It's okay, if we don't fight... Huh? You agreed?!" Feng Zhiqiang was startled and jumped up.

Lu Qian smiled and said, "Yes, I agree."

"Aww!"

Feng Zhiqiang exclaimed in delight, "Brother Lu is awesome!"

The two people outside, upon hearing the joyful shouts, could only sigh helplessly.

"Yahoo yahoo~"

After cheering for a while, Feng Zhiqiang finally calmed down. Seeing Lu Qian's ambiguous smile, he scratched his head and said, "Hehe, I was too excited. I thought we had failed when I saw you looking like that."

After saying that, he stood up straight and bowed deeply to Lu Qian. "Thank you, Teacher Lu."

Lu Qian accepted the bow without hesitation. "You're welcome. Your parents have agreed to your playing ball, and they will support you as much as possible. Don't let them down."

"Yes, yes! Please tell me, teacher."

"There's one more thing," Lu Qian said, his smile fading and his expression turning serious. "Do you know why I scared you?"

Feng Zhiqiang shook his head.

"You shouldn't yell at your father!" Lu Qian's tone was unusually harsh.

Feng Zhiqiang slowly lowered his head. "I'm sorry, Teacher Lu. I... I was just out of my mind."

"You shouldn't apologize to me, you should apologize to your father," Lu Qian said seriously.

"You and your father often argue, which ultimately boils down to a communication problem. Your father doesn't understand you, and you don't understand why your father doesn't understand you."

Plus, the rebellious phase of adolescence hit, and she felt she knew so much and that your dad knew nothing.

Am I right?

Feng Zhiqiang lowered his head even further, feeling somewhat ashamed.

"So, I just spoke to your dad and asked him to apologize to you as well."

"what?"

Feng Zhiqiang looked up abruptly, dumbfounded. "Apologize to me? Teacher Lu, you must be mistaken."

Lu Qian waved his hand, "Sit down first. It's tiring for me to stand up and look up at you."

"oh."

"The problem lies in communication. Your father's communication style is also wrong. I just talked to him and asked him to apologize to you for the communication issues. He said he would listen to you more in the future and not interrupt your thoughts," Lu Qian said calmly.

"But you need to apologize twice. First, it's also due to poor communication; second, you shouldn't have yelled at your parents! Everything can be discussed. If you can't reach an agreement, call me, and I'll try to communicate. Understand?"

"Understood..."

Feng Zhiqiang answered subconsciously. He found it unbelievable, but at the same time, he thought Teacher Lu was amazing. He was able to make his stubborn father apologize, and even apologize to him!

"Professor Lu, you're amazing!"

Stop flattering me. Once you're ready, come with me to apologize. I can give you some more time to prepare.

……

In the living room.

Feng Jianping sat on pins and needles, while Wu Suning watched and chuckled to herself.

"You're getting nervous."

"No! My butt just went numb from sitting for so long!" Feng Jianping blushed and refused to admit it.

Apologizing to my son is a bit awkward, but upon reflection, I realize I was wrong; I kept negating him…

"Click—"

The bedroom door opened.

Feng Zhiqiang, a tall man of 1.9 meters, was like a shy young girl at this moment.

I was still wondering to myself, "Will my dad really apologize to me? This is too surreal."

He sat opposite his father.

A brief silence fell over the air.

Feng Jianping sighed and said, "Son, Dad apologizes to you."

Upon hearing this first sentence, Feng Zhiqiang exclaimed in his heart: Teacher Lu, you are really hot!

However, what Feng Jianping said next left him somewhat at a loss.

"Before, your father didn't understand you. He always insisted on making you study, ignoring your hobbies and not listening to your ideas. In the end, you didn't study well and you weren't focused on basketball either."

"Teacher Lu said something to me, saying that we lack communication, and I think he's right. In the future, if anything happens, we can have a good talk."

"Son, I'm sorry."

Feng Zhiqiang pursed his lips tightly, then suddenly stood up. "Dad, me too. I shouldn't have yelled at you just now, and I shouldn't always refuse to communicate. I'll study hard, and I'll play basketball well. I'll definitely earn a lot of money and buy you a new car!"

"Dad, I'm sorry."

Wu Suning watched this scene with a smile, but her eyes reddened as she watched.

My son has a clear direction for the future, and our family is harmonious again.

Lu Qian also came over, smiling, "Okay, it's good that you talked it out. There's nothing we can't talk about as family. If there are any more problems, give me a call."

Some things need to be addressed when they first emerge; if you wait too long, it will be too late.

Feng Zhiqiang rubbed his eyes. "Alright! Unless there's another disagreement, we absolutely won't involve Teacher Lu!"

Feng Jianping and Wu Suning also hurriedly stood up and thanked him repeatedly, "Teacher Lu, you are truly a benefactor to my whole family! You solved two major problems for my family as soon as you arrived!"

"I'll be leaving now that I've taken care of my business."

"Oh, no, that won't do. Teacher Lu, why don't you stay for dinner?"

"I really can't eat..."
