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

The teachers at our school are really responsible.

Be responsible...

Oh, the responsibility...

what……

In Director Pan's malfunctioning brain, these Chinese characters seemed to have grown small wings and kept launching attacks.

Did I hear that right?

Did I go to my homeroom teacher, Ms. Zhang's, tutoring class?

How about catching up on this over the weekend?

Zhang Chao giving tutoring?!

Why are there such aggressive words?

Director Pan's eyes widened, and he immediately sat up straight, his tone no longer as perfunctory as before.

"Ms. Wu Bin, you said your child went to Mr. Zhang's tutoring class?" As if afraid of being misunderstood, Director Pan directly stated the name, "Mr. Zhang Chao, the homeroom teacher?"

"yes."

The parent on the other end of the phone answered matter-of-factly, not even understanding why Director Pan was so agitated, "It's Zhang Chao, the homeroom teacher of Class 7! Don't you know him?"

Director Pan took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, his eyes immediately becoming sharp.

The ballpoint pen in my hand immediately began to write in a flamboyant style.

[A phone call with Wu Bin's parent revealed that Zhang Chao from Class 7 received extra tutoring; this has not been verified.]

While taking notes, Director Pan asked again, "It's Zhang Chao, of course I know him, but Mr. Zhang always seems quite busy, how does he still have the energy for this?"

Parent: "Yes, Teacher Zhang often tells us that she has to work on weekdays and then sacrifice her own time on weekends to tutor our children. It's so hard for her. Teacher Zhang is such a responsible and good teacher!"

Director Pan: "Hmm...that's quite responsible. The school is currently conducting follow-up visits and wanted to ask when Teacher Zhang usually gives extra lessons?"

"It's the weekend, there's no time after evening self-study, so we can't go." The parent still spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, then added a hint of dissatisfaction to their tone.

"By the way, Director Pan, it's not that I'm nitpicking, but Zhang Chao is in charge, but his level isn't very good. He's paid 500 yuan an hour, but the results have dropped instead of improved. He keeps saying the questions are too difficult and the child isn't focused, and that he'll definitely improve next time."

Or could you find me someone more reliable...?

Hey, is that Mr. Lu any good? I think he is. He taught my child before, and his grades improved a lot. Where does he run his tutoring classes? I can send my child there.

Or could we do a one-on-one consultation? I don't know how expensive that is, Director Pan, could you help me negotiate the price? How about two hundred? Ugh, two hundred is quite a lot…”

Director Pan looked somewhat bewildered.

Does this parent even know what she's saying?

Didn't I already introduce myself?

I'm the school principal!

How dare you speak so brazenly about the tutoring classes offered by teachers from our school?

But the tone was so sincere, it didn't seem fake.

Director Pan took out his phone again and glanced at the number, recalling what the parent had said.

He took the money to get Zhang Chao to tutor him, and even complained to the head of the grade that Zhang Chao's teaching wasn't very good.

The question was difficult, and the child wasn't focused; they'll definitely improve next time.

Damn, it even rhymes.

Director Pan couldn't hold back any longer and cursed under his breath.

They even asked me to recommend a reliable one.

Looking for one-on-one tutoring from Teacher Lu?

And you want me to help you negotiate the price?

Is two hundred okay? Two hundred isn't a small amount.

Director Pan was so angry at this that he actually laughed.

Zhang Chao's class costs 500 yuan, while Teacher Lu's class costs 200 yuan?

So, Teacher Lu isn't even half as good as Zhang Chao?

You're quite good at budgeting!

Teacher Lu's level must be over a thousand.

wrong!

Director Pan suddenly shook his head.

You've been led astray; how did you even come up with this idea?

"Director Pan, Director Pan?" The voice on the other end of the phone was somewhat impatient. "Hey? Are you listening?"

Director Pan: "Yes, yes, I'm listening."

"Okay, you remembered what I just said, right? Introduce me to someone..." the parent started nagging again.

Director Pan was at his wits' end and quickly interrupted, "Stop, stop, stop. Let's not talk about introducing the teachers yet. Wu Bin's mother, you said your child attends tutoring classes with Zhang Chao. How many students does he have?"

I'm ignoring all those offensive and absurd questions.

Ask the key questions first.

"How many people are there...?"

The parent thought for a while, "I don't know the exact number. My child came home and said that he has tutoring classes at two different times, from 8:30 to 9:30. It's about... fifteen or sixteen?"

I'm not too sure about the time between 10 and 11 o'clock; I wouldn't dare to say anything I don't know, right, Director?

Director Pan quickly took notes, and when he heard this, his lips twitched. "Now you've got principles again."

Schrödinger's principles?

Looking at the contents of the notes, Director Pan quickly did some mental calculations.

It costs 500 yuan per person per hour. Based on 15 people per class, one class would cost 7500 yuan, and two classes would cost around 15000 yuan.

Yucai has a two-day weekend system. Calculated based on eight weekends a month, that's 120,000 yuan!

When Director Pan calculated this number, he broke out in a cold sweat.

You must have made a lot of money!

Zhang Chao, you're fucking insane!

Do you intend to take us with you and live as long as heaven and earth?

Director Pan is now extremely grateful to Zhang Li for reporting Lu Qian.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

At the same time, he was very grateful to the parent who was on the phone. For the first time, Pan Hai felt that speaking without restraint was actually a good thing!

Thank goodness we started the self-check; otherwise, it would have been discovered by the higher-ups.

Then it won't just be Zhang Chao's problem anymore!

Zhang Li, you've finally done something good!

After calming herself down, Director Pan continued, "Ms. Wu Bin, do you know which other students are getting tutoring from Teacher Zhang? Are they all from the same school and class?"

"Let me think... Zhao Qihang from Zhang Li's family is here, and so is that..."

Wu Bin's mother said a few names and then stopped. "I only remember these few, I don't remember the others. Hey, Director Pan, you can just ask Teacher Zhang about this. He has a list, and he'll call anyone who doesn't show up. Teacher Zhang is very responsible in this regard, right?"

Director Pan quickly wrote down the students' names and replied, "Yes, they're quite responsible. I'll ask Teacher Zhang about it later. Was this tutoring class suggested by Teacher Zhang, or did you parents request it?"

Parent: "Of course, it was Teacher Zhang who took the initiative to say that this child's grades needed extra help. Since the teacher brought it up herself, how could we not go?"

Director Pan's gaze turned even colder. "So, the tutoring is at Teacher Zhang's house?"

Parent: "No, it's a neighborhood called..."

Director Pan squinted and wrote down the name of the neighborhood.

"Was that teacher tutoring on behalf of the school or in a personal capacity?"

Parent: "Teacher Zhang said she ran it herself, and that it's small-class teaching, better than outside tutoring centers. If it weren't for someone's introduction, I wouldn't have been able to get in."

They've even reached the point where they were introduced by acquaintances.

Director Pan: "When did Teacher Zhang start tutoring?"

Parent: "My child started going late. I heard from others that she started tutoring classes not long after becoming a homeroom teacher. But she stopped a few days ago for some reason."

Director Pan paused, his pen poised. He was appointed as a class teacher, presumably by leveraging the reputation of a top-performing teacher.

As for the suspension of tutoring, it was probably due to the conference on teachers' ethics and conduct.

Zhang Chao, you reacted pretty quickly.
