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

The phone hangs up.

Director Pan put down his phone, and only then did the other teachers who were having dinner with him speak up out of curiosity.

"Director Pan, what's wrong?"

Director Pan began with a well-balanced explanation, "Isn't Teacher Lu accompanying the students to the Provincial Experimental School for a badminton competition? He can take this opportunity to visit the school and see if there's anything he can learn from their strengths and weaknesses."

Let's not talk about poaching people.

It would be bad to be misunderstood.

The teachers suddenly realized what was going on and praised him repeatedly.

"Teacher Lu is so responsible! Leading the team to the competition, she also didn't forget to learn from the teaching methods of other schools. She's a role model for our school!"

"Yes, yes, it can be considered a form of exchange and learning."

"..."

Director Pan chimed in with a couple of comments and quickened his pace of eating.

Not long after, after finishing his meal and returning to his office, he called Li Chong'an.

To be honest, he trusted Teacher Lu completely, but he was also a little nervous. He decided to tell the principal.

The call was connected.

Director Pan got straight to the point: "Principal, Teacher Lu has been invited by Qiao Zhaoxiang to visit the Provincial Experimental School."

"What?!"

Li Chong'an exclaimed in surprise on the other end of the phone, "Why didn't you stop them!"

Director Pan revealed a sly smile.

What is this?

An old man playing with another old man!

"Actually, Teacher Lu wanted to visit the Provincial Experimental School to observe their teaching model and see if it could be of any use to our school..." Director Pan quickly explained the situation.

Li Chong'an finally breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly, "Director Pan, could you please not speak so dramatically next time?"

Director Pan laughed heartily, "I was also taken aback at first, but after thinking about it, it makes perfect sense. It's normal for someone as talented as Professor Lu to be invited. As long as we don't let Professor Lu down, I believe he won't let us down either!"

"Yes, I trust Professor Lu on that point," Li Chong'an said. "I have to go to a meeting now, so I'll leave Professor Lu's matter to you."

"Don't worry, Principal!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Chong'an put his phone on silent and looked out the window.

The weather is getting cold.

Teacher Lu's salary should also be increased.

……

Lu Qian hung up the phone and looked at Director Miao.

"Director Miao, I've already spoken with Director Pan, there shouldn't be any problems."

Director Miao nodded. While Lu Qian was on the phone, he also felt a little ashamed.

Teacher Lu's every word and action is for the sake of nurturing talent. He was even worried that Teacher Lu would go to another school. How shameful!

"Teacher Lu, Coach Hong and I are here with the team, so you don't need to worry when you visit," Director Miao said.

Lu Qian nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and looked at Coach Hong, "Coach Hong, can you show me the competition booklet?"

"Here you are."

Lu Qian took it and flipped through the competition schedule.

The group stage schedule for the first day has already been set.

Yu Cai had a bye in the first game of the afternoon, which gave him plenty of time to visit the provincial experimental school, as the team members were resting.

In the first period of the afternoon, most classes are in session, making it easier to observe the teaching methods.

"Then I'll leave the competition to Director Miao and Coach Hong to keep an eye on. I'll go check out the teaching model at the Provincial Experimental School."

"Okay, Teacher Lu, please go and visit without worry."

Lu Qian nodded and called Qiao Zhaoxiang.

No more, no less, exactly five minutes.

After answering the phone, Qiao Zhaoxiang smiled and said, "Okay, no problem. I'll pick you up at the stadium."

After hanging up the phone, Fang Changming, the head of the math group, hurriedly said, "Teacher Lu agreed."

"Yes, they came to visit during the first period this afternoon. Do you have a class during the first period?" Qiao Zhaoxiang asked.

"no."

"Okay, then the two of us will show Teacher Lu around."

……

One o'clock in the afternoon.

Lu Qian gave the team members a few more instructions and then walked towards the entrance of the gymnasium.

There were two middle-aged male teachers waiting at the door.

One of them was thin with sparse hair and forehead wrinkles; the other was stocky with a round face and small eyes, but had a gentle and mature appearance.

They were all dressed in shirts and dress pants.

As for age.

Most teachers, after a long time, lose their sense of age.

Upon seeing Lu Qian, the two greeted him as "Teacher Lu" and approached him.

'This must be Qiao Zhaoxiang,' Lu Qian thought to himself, quickening his pace.

"Hello, Teacher Lu, I'm Qiao Zhaoxiang. You're a very promising young man!" The stocky man smiled and extended his hand.

Lu Qian shook hands and smiled, "Director Qiao, you flatter me. Your school's grade management is very well-organized. I came here this time with the goal of learning from you."

Qiao Zhaoxiang's smile widened, and he introduced, "This is Fang Changming, the head of the math group. It was Teacher Fang who first discovered your teaching achievements and hurriedly came to me, insisting on meeting you. So I took the liberty of making a few more phone calls."

"Hello, Professor Fang." Lu Qian shook hands again and said, "I've long heard that Professor Fang from the Provincial Experimental School has solid teaching skills and has taught many outstanding students. It's a pleasure to meet you in person today."

"Teacher Lu, you're too kind. You're truly a rising star, teaching a top-performing class in just one month and turning a bottom-performing class into fifth in the grade in another month. I'm ashamed of myself!" Fang Changming shook hands and spoke enthusiastically.

The three looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Qiao Zhaoxiang and Fang Changming felt more at ease and less worried.

It feels like a gentle spring breeze!

Before coming, they were worried that Lu Qian was too young and might not be compatible with the older teachers, or even be arrogant.

They were prepared; capable people have a certain personality, which they could understand and accept.

Now that we've met, just a few short words are enough to tell that this young man is extraordinary.

Be humble and polite, know when to advance and retreat, and remain neither arrogant nor impatient.

I'm even more excited now!!

We must try to win this!

"By the way, how did Teacher Lu come to accompany you to the badminton match?" Qiao Zhaoxiang asked curiously.

"Well, one of the players on the team is my student, and I also have some experience with badminton, so I taught them some things. I was worried they'd be nervous since it was their first time competing, so I came along to watch," Lu Qian explained.

Qiao Zhaoxiang was filled with respect, "Teacher Lu really cares about his students."

Lu Qian smiled and said, "Your school strongly supports sports competitions, which shows that you want students to develop in all aspects of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor. This is truly considering the students' needs! No wonder it is a top key high school."

It remains a passive skill: say nice things and make good friends.

"Oh, that sounds so nice!" Qiao Zhaoxiang thought to himself, but he didn't forget his business.

"Ms. Lu, the first class has just started. Shall Ms. Fang and I take you to see the teaching building?"

"Okay, thank you, Director Qiao and Teacher Fang."
