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

Looking at the unfamiliar number on his phone, Lu Qian thought for a moment, then turned off the red dot and gave up the idea of ​​calling back.

I don't know who it is. If they have something else to say, they'll probably call back.

"Teacher Lu, let's go." Coach Hong waved.

"They're here."

"Director Miao went to get the food. If you don't like it, I also brought bread and milk," Coach Hong said to the team members.

A few minutes later, the team leader, Director Miao, returned carrying a large bag.

A simple boxed lunch.

Chicken drumsticks stir-fried with broccoli, stir-fried shrimp, shredded green peppers and potatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, plus a box of seaweed and egg drop soup and half a braised egg.

Balanced nutrition.

"Eat until you're about 70% full. If you want bananas, you can come and get some," Coach Hong instructed.

The group ate and chatted in the rest area, each carrying their boxed lunches.

The lunch situation is similar in other schools, with either boxed lunches or fast food.

Only students from the provincial experimental school are allowed to eat in the cafeteria.

"Teacher Lu, how did our game go this morning?" one of the team members asked.

"Performed normally, maintained a stable state, very good," Lu Qian commented.

Everyone was delighted.

That's a very high rating.

It's unrealistic to expect to perform exceptionally well in every competition.

Performing at your usual training level is enough.

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we and No. 4 Middle School will advance from the group stage," Coach Hong said.

Lu Qian nodded. "I watched the competition between the four middle schools earlier. They were quite strong. That player, Li Jiahao, was also quite good, but unfortunately, he was up against Daqiang."

Although Li Jiahao was defeated by Feng Zhiqiang 21 to 5.

But this doesn't mean they're bad; it just means Feng Zhiqiang's skill level far surpasses theirs.

This is different from Li Jun's archery competition.

Direct confrontation and indirect confrontation.

"Just relax and don't put too much pressure on yourself for the afternoon's game."

...

Soon, the boys finished eating, tidied up their lunchboxes, and said, "Teacher Lu, Director Miao, Coach Hong, we're going to the restroom."

"Go on, don't wander off, come back as soon as you're done!" Coach Hong waved his hand.

Before long, the girls finished eating, cleaned up, and went to the bathroom together.

Only Director Miao, Lu Qian, Coach Hong, and the school doctor remained at the scene.

"Last time we were the provincial experimental school champion and the No. 4 Middle School runner-up, this time we can try to snatch it too."

"I also saw the competition at the Provincial Experimental School. They are strong, but if we look at individual players, Daqiang is still the better one."

"I bet they're talking about us too, after all, we've been a dark horse this time."

As the four chatted, Lu Qian finished his meal and had just tidied up when his phone in his pocket started twitching wildly.

He took it out and saw the caller ID; Lu Qian raised an eyebrow.

These are the numbers of those three missed calls.

They really did call again.

When the call connected, Lu Qian waited silently for the other party to speak.

It's an old habit of his; he only speaks when the other person on a call from an unknown number starts talking.

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone before a voice was heard.

"Hey? Are you Mr. Lu Qian?"

Lu Qian then spoke, "I am Lu Qian."

The voice on the other end of the phone immediately became enthusiastic, "Hello, Ms. Lu, this is Qiao Zhaoxiang, the grade director of the Provincial Experimental School. Is it convenient for us to chat for a bit?"

……

This morning.

Provincial Experimental School, Grade Director's Office.

Two people were sitting on the sofa.

Grade Director Qiao Zhaoxiang stared at a video on his phone, lost in thought.

The video content is the publisher "introducing" a teacher from Yucai, who taught a top-performing class in just one month and provided tutoring to the students.

Although it was a compliment, the tone sounded sarcastic.

The implication was that this teacher, Mr. Lu, improved students' grades through tutoring and had remained unscathed all along.

The video has nearly 100,000 views.

The comments section also showed mixed opinions.

Some people say, how can teachers give extra lessons? Absolutely not! That's unfair.

Some people say that as long as it can improve the child's grades, then tutoring is fine.

(The foreshadowing in the video comes from Chapter 188)

Another person on the sofa spoke up: "I've inquired about this teacher, and he's truly amazing. He teaches math, and he just graduated. He led a top-performing class in a month, and after switching classes, he brought the bottom-performing class to fifth place in the grade. Director Qiao, what do you think?"

This person is Fang Changming, the head of the math group. He accidentally came across this video, thought it was interesting, so he asked around about the teacher and was shocked.

This teacher, Mr. Lu, is absolutely amazing!

Especially if you teach math, that's a huge plus!

Putting such an outstanding teacher at Yucai School would be a waste of talent!

Provincial Experimental School: Yucai! You can't handle such a prodigy, quickly let him go and hand him over to me!

Then the math group leader immediately went to find the grade director, Qiao Zhaoxiang.

"To be able to teach a top-performing class right after graduation shows strong teaching ability and youth." Qiao Zhaoxiang has a long-term vision.

Being young means that you're just starting out on your teaching journey and there's still a lot of room for improvement.

Becoming a competition instructor in the future is not a problem.

"You want him?" Qiao Zhaoxiang asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Mmm, mmm, mmm!" Fang Changming, the head of the math group, nodded repeatedly. "Absolutely a promising talent! If we recruit and train him well, he could become a top-tier teacher in the future!"

"And I heard that this teacher, Ms. Lu, was initially met with a lot of skepticism from parents, which is quite funny."

"Parents are questioning this? Is that even possible?" Qiao Zhaoxiang asked in surprise.

"Really? Maybe if we ask, this Teacher Lu will be willing to come too," Fang Changming said excitedly. "Putting everything else aside, our school's resources and benefits are absolutely top-notch!"

Qiao Zhaoxiang nodded, "Okay, I'll let the vice principal know first, and then I'll call and ask Teacher Lu."

If you want to poach teachers from other schools, you should first inform the vice principal of your current school so that the work can be coordinated. Otherwise, if you manage to poach them all at once, it will be awkward if the procedures don't go smoothly.

Qiao Zhaoxiang called the vice principal and briefly explained the matter.

We've discovered a very promising and excellent teacher, and we'd like to recruit her!

The vice principal readily agreed, letting Qiao Zhaoxiang go and test the waters first.

"The vice principal has agreed. I'll call this Teacher Lu," Qiao Zhaoxiang said.

Contact information for each teacher can be found on the school's official website, which is a public channel.

After finding him, Qiao Zhaoxiang called Lu Qian.

beep-

The call went through, but no one answered for a long time.

"This... they should be in class, I'll call later."

Forty minutes later.

beep-

The call went through, but no one answered.

"I should be attending classes consecutively... I'll call back later."

Forty minutes later.

beep-

I called, but no one answered.

"Maybe I'll be busy in the morning and call at noon," Qiao Zhaoxiang consoled himself.

After 11:30, Fang Changming, the head of the math group, came again. "Director, did you make the call? What did Teacher Lu say?"

"I've made three calls, but no one answered. I'll call again now."

Qiao Zhaoxiang figured that it was probably time for him to go eat, and he would probably be looking at his phone.

So they made another call.

This time, the other party finally answered the phone.

Qiao Zhaoxiang warmly introduced himself, "Hello, Teacher Lu, I am Qiao Zhaoxiang, the grade director of the Provincial Experimental School..."
