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

Lu Qian was stunned; he never expected that the call would come from the Provincial Experimental School.

"Hello Director Qiao, is this a convenient time to chat?"

As he said this, Lu Qian's mind raced.

The provincial experimental school called him, but he had never met any students or teachers from the provincial experimental school.

Could it be Meng Shuyun?

Li Kewei promised not to bother the girl, and he believed that Li Kewei would keep his word.

Li Jun's senior sister, Yuan Yao?

We only met once, and didn't have much interaction.

Wait a minute...

Lu Qian narrowed his eyes, thinking of a possibility that is very common between schools.

They're not here to poach me, are they...?

After removing all the impossible factors, what remains, however incredible, is the final truth.

—A famous quote from a great detective in a book.

During the phone call, Qiao Zhaoxiang continued, "Teacher Lu, it's like this, I heard that in just two months you taught a top-performing class and turned a bottom-performing class into fifth in the grade. My school's math group leader and I admire you very much and would like to find an opportunity to exchange teaching experiences with you. I wonder if it would be convenient for you?"

They really did poach him!

Otherwise, why would someone seek him out for a chat? If it were just a chat, they would definitely go to Teacher Shao! He is the head of the second-year math group at Yucai High School.

And what a coincidence!

I'm currently at the provincial experimental site, and I might be less than 200 meters away from this Director Qiao.

After a moment's thought, Lu Qian said, "Director Qiao, it's quite a coincidence that I'm at your school right now."

"what?"

Qiao Zhaoxiang was also taken aback. "At our school?"

Delivered to your door?

Lu Qian explained, "Director Qiao, the city badminton tournament is being held at your school this time. I came here as a coach with the participating students and am currently resting in the gymnasium."

Qiao Zhaoxiang's face visibly lit up with joy, although he was also a little puzzled as to why a math teacher would be leading a badminton competition. Isn't that the job of a physical education teacher?

However, he quickly spoke up, "Teacher Lu, you've worked hard. It's fate! I wonder if Teacher Lu's time is convenient? I'll show you around our provincial experimental school, let you see the school, and we can chat. It won't take up too much of your time."

Lu Qian also found it a bit strange. He had been thinking about how to visit the provincial experimental school that morning, but at noon the director called to invite him to visit.

Could it really be fate?

They want me to visit the provincial experimental school and then return to Yucai to learn from its strengths and make up for my weaknesses!

Fate is truly wondrous.

However, we can't just agree to this right away. We need to talk to the rest of the team first, and most importantly, we need to talk to Director Pan.

Director Pan treats him very well; he must not cause Director Pan to misunderstand.

Lu Qian slowly began, "Director Qiao, because I'm still leading a team, I'll talk to them to see if I have enough time, and then I'll call you back in five minutes."

"No problem!" Qiao Zhaoxiang readily agreed.

The phone hangs up.

Fang Changming, the head of the provincial experimental mathematics group, spoke up: "Director, what do you mean?"

Qiao Zhaoxiang smiled slightly, "Isn't it a coincidence? This Teacher Lu is right here at our school, resting in the gymnasium."

"A gymnasium?" Fang Changming was taken aback. "Isn't that where badminton matches are held?"

"Yes, this Teacher Lu said he came as one of the teachers leading the team," Qiao Zhaoxiang explained.

"A math teacher leading the team, that's quite something," Fang Changming said with a smirk.

"Alright, let's wait five minutes for him to call back and see what he says." Qiao Zhaoxiang leaned back on the sofa and waited quietly.

……

After Lu Qian hung up the phone, he met the gazes of the others.

"Teacher Lu, is someone looking for you?" Director Miao asked curiously.

They all heard the phrase, "I am at your school now."

Lu Qian nodded and said without any hesitation, "Director Qiao from the Provincial Experimental School said he wanted to exchange and learn from me, and asked if it was convenient for me."

Director Miao's heart sank. Although the words were supposed to be about exchange and learning, they were actually a ploy to poach people!

He wasn't primarily in charge of the learning section, but he was aware of Lu Qian's importance.

That's a rising star at Yucai!

The future pillar of stability!

We can't let them poach us!

Thinking this, he heard Lu Qian speak again.

"They invited me to exchange and learn from them. This morning I was thinking about how I could visit the teaching environment of the Provincial Experimental School to see what we could apply to our school and whether we could make reforms. This should be considered an opportunity to learn from their strengths and make up for our weaknesses."

The school doctor remained silent, leaving no room for him to speak.

Coach Hong is a physical education teacher and doesn't understand these things. If it's about sports reform, then it's simple: first, expand the venue and build a gymnasium.

Director Miao was left looking conflicted.

He knew that Lu Qian was genuinely concerned about nurturing talent, but he was afraid that the temptation of the provincial experimental school was too great.

"Director Miao, I'll call Director Pan and discuss this with him," Lu Qian said.

He sensed Director Miao's dilemma, so he simply contacted Pan Hai.

Director Miao nodded emphatically, "Good!"

……

Yucai High School.

Director Pan was having lunch with several other teachers in the cafeteria when he saw Lu Qian's call. He quickly chewed and swallowed the food in his mouth before answering the phone.

"Teacher Lu."

"Director Pan, I'm in the gymnasium of the Provincial Experimental School right now. I have something to tell you. Qiao Zhaoxiang, the grade director of the Provincial Experimental School, just called me..."

Director Pan was taken aback, and his brows furrowed slightly involuntarily.

You rascal, Qiao Zhaoxiang, you've got your eye on my precious little darling.

They call it an exchange, but it's really just poaching people. Doesn't he understand that?

Lu Qian continued, "Director Pan, since they want to exchange and learn, I would also like to take this opportunity to see the teaching model of the Provincial Experimental School and see if it can bring some reforms and inspiration to our school. Even if it can't, it will still be of some inspiration for our future teaching."

He spoke very frankly; he didn't need to hide anything from Director Pan.

From parents' doubts to the tutoring controversy, and then to the unannounced visits to the home.

Having gone through so many ups and downs, he believed that Director Pan understood him.

"good!"

Director Pan agreed readily, without doubting that Lu Qian would be poached.

It's true that people should strive for better things, but he believes in the bond between him and Teacher Lu!

"Teacher Lu, please go and exchange ideas with the Provincial Experimental School. Whether you gain new teaching methods or feel the pressure from the Provincial Experimental School, Yucai and I will always stand behind you!"

"Go for it!"
