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

As Zhang Chao walked into the teaching building, he encountered several teachers in the corridor, all of whom cast surprised glances at him.

The teachers, who already knew Zhang Chao, were particularly shocked.

What happened to make you so dejected in just one day?

They don't look like teachers at all anymore.

Zhang Chao ignored everyone and went straight to the office to find Zhao Zhigang.

"Director Zhao."

Director Pan was also waiting there, and he was startled when he saw Zhang Chao's appearance.

In the past, no matter what, Zhang Chao always dressed appropriately and looked very energetic, but now he looks completely颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of listlessness, apathy, or decadence).

The security guard's statement about how it's impossible to tell if I'm male or female was actually quite true.

"Zhang Chao, sign it."

Director Zhao printed out the details sent by Zhang Chao and handed them over.

"Sign up every page, just like before."

Zhang Chao held the detailed list in his hand and signed it expressionlessly.

"Is there anything else?"

"The school doesn't have any more at the moment, but other investigation teams will be reviewing the materials later. They may want to speak with you, so we hope you will cooperate fully," Director Pan said.

After the school submits the materials, the higher authorities will formally open a case and establish an investigation team.

They need to come to the school for a follow-up visit, talk to Zhang Chao, retrieve surveillance footage from the tutoring location, and also find the students and parents to understand the situation.

The final decision was made.

After listening, Zhang Chao put down his pen and left.

He is still affiliated with the school, but has been suspended from his post, and his office belongings cannot be moved yet.

This period can only be endured as an ordeal.

"I'll give this to the principal." Director Zhao left with the detailed list.

Director Pan returned to his office, found the list of math teachers, and looked conflicted.

No teacher wanted to be the homeroom teacher for Class 7, but the math subject still needed to be taught by a teacher.

Let's have a short meeting this afternoon and ask about it.

……

Nothing happened this morning.

In the afternoon, in the small meeting room.

Director Pan sat at the front and said, "Let's have a short meeting about a small matter. Teacher Zhang Chao has some things to attend to recently and can't come to school, so the homeroom teacher position for Class 7 is vacant. Which teacher would like to temporarily take on the role of homeroom teacher for Class 7?"

The teachers present were either second-year high school math teachers or teachers of Class 7.

All the teachers present lowered their heads.

Go be the homeroom teacher for Class 7?

They want to live a few more years.

One is Lu Qian, and the other is Zhang Chao.

Neither good nor bad teachers have a normal ending.

Wouldn't going there just be asking for trouble?

Seeing no response, Director Pan coughed lightly, "We can add extra fees per class hour."

Still no response.

Seeing this, Director Pan had no choice but to call out a name, "The teacher of Class 7 is quite familiar with the students in Class 7, so how about..."

Before he could finish speaking, the teachers began to make excuses.

"Director Pan, I'm so busy, I can't bring them all."

"No, no, the students in the other classes are all on the rise."

"Director Pan, I have high blood pressure, you wouldn't want me to have a high blood pressure attack, would you...?"

"..."

Director Pan then turned to the group of math teachers and tentatively said, "Class 7 is also short of a math teacher. Why don't the math teacher become the homeroom teacher and still teach the math classes?"

The math teachers quickly lowered their heads as well.

Only two people sat leaning against the chairs, their gazes open and honest.

Lu Qian and Shao Mingrui.

Director Pan then simply ignored the two of them.

Seeing that no one spoke up, Director Pan sighed. He had been aware of this situation before the meeting.

Fortunately, that wasn't the main purpose.

The principle of compromise applies everywhere.

"Let's put the matter of the homeroom teacher for Class 7 on hold for now, but Class 7's math class needs someone to teach it, that's a must!" Director Pan said earnestly.

Class 7 doesn't have a homeroom teacher, so he can fill in occasionally, but it won't work without a math teacher.

All the math teachers had their heads down, they couldn't see me, they couldn't see me...

Director Pan narrowed his eyes, looked around, and said, "Teacher Yu, you'll be teaching math to Class 7 for now."

Ms. Yu is the math teacher for classes 8 and 9.

The skill level is good, and it's close by.

"Director, I still have to teach two classes, and besides, the results of Class 7 are..." Teacher Yu said with a wry smile.

"The school will charge extra for each class," Director Pan said seriously. "And we're already in the second year of high school, soon we'll be in the third year, and then the college entrance exam will be over."

"Uh..." Teacher Yu twitched the corner of her mouth, as if she were graduating the day after tomorrow.

However, since they had already mentioned adding extra fees for each lesson, and seeing Director Pan's winking and gesturing, Teacher Yu had no choice but to say, "Then... I'll give it a try?"

After the meeting.

Director Pan left Teacher Yu behind, looking apologetic. "Teacher Yu, I had no other choice but to entrust this matter to you. Your teaching pace is so steady!"

Seeing that Teacher Yu was still a little unhappy, Director Pan quickly added, "Teacher Yu, Class 7's performance evaluation will only be rewarded, not punished."

Hearing this, Teacher Yu's expression softened a little.

This doesn't mean that Teacher Yu should try his best to get performance bonuses, but rather that he should know that he only needs to fulfill his normal teaching responsibilities and he won't be punished.

Otherwise, there really wouldn't be anyone to teach Class 7.

After Teacher Yu left the meeting room, Director Pan breathed a sigh of relief. This major concern should be resolved now.

……

The third self-study period.

Lu Qian and Feng Zhiqiang arrived at the team's activity room.

Today is Friday, tomorrow is the weekend, and the Nike High School Basketball League starts next Wednesday.

High-intensity training is no longer needed.

During this period, I'll just play some basketball, participate in some games, continue analyzing videos of basketball teams from various schools, maintain my skills, and get enough sleep.

Other players also arrived at the activity room one after another. When they encountered Lu Qian, they would stop and respectfully call out "Teacher Lu" to greet him.

The other players now have great respect for Lu Qian.

Every time Lu Qian comes to the team to provide guidance, he brings them significant improvement.

Even the smallest mistakes can be pointed out incisively, and corrective actions can be personally demonstrated.

At first, the students were hesitant to ask questions because they were unfamiliar with Lu Qian.

After discovering that Lu Qian didn't refuse to ask questions, they all became familiar with each other and boldly asked questions.

Lu Qian accepted all comers; teachers love eager-to-learn students the most.

As a result, Lu Qian's prestige in the team is almost surpassing that of Coach Hong.

Hong Qiao didn't care. He wished Lu Qian would come more often, so that the team's strength would improve.

If he wins a big prize in the end, he'll feel proud.

"Teacher Lu, this is the competition information. Please take a look." Hong Qiao handed over a booklet.

"it is good."

Lu Qian took the booklet and sat down next to Feng Zhiqiang.

The National High School Basketball League (NHBL), also known as the Chinese High School Basketball League, is commonly referred to as "NHBL".

More than 500 teams and more than 7000 athletes participated in the competition.

The competition's advancement path is divided into: grassroots competition, regional competition, additional competition, and national finals.

The grassroots competition, also known as the provincial competition, is a contest for qualifying spots.

The regional competitions are divided into four major regions across the country: east, west, south, and north. The four champions from each region advance directly to the national finals.

The playoffs, also known as the revival tournament, are played between the 2nd to 5th place teams from the regional finals, with 16 teams competing for four national spots.

The final eight teams gathered at Wukesong Arena in Beijing, the capital, for a single-elimination tournament to determine the overall champion.

The total competition period lasted five to six months.

The grassroots competition in Jiangcheng was held at the Provincial Experimental School, with a total of 24 participating teams, 12 for men and 12 for women.

Yucai High School was among the top eight in the provincial competition last time, so they can directly register for the competition.

Lu Qian's goal for Feng Zhiqiang was to obtain the title of first-class athlete in this high school basketball competition.

This will be his first step towards becoming a professional basketball player.

Lu Qian slowly closed the competition information roster and pushed it to Feng Zhiqiang.

"Daqiang, your professional path lies within this!"
