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

Qiao Zhaoxiang jogged a few steps to the bookcase, opened the door, and took out a few items.

Soon, he returned with a canvas bag printed with the emblem of the Provincial Experimental School.

"Ms. Lu, these are some small souvenirs from our school. The canvas bag is sturdy and durable, and can be used to carry books and materials. Since you are a math teacher, this box of ballpoint pens is for you; they write smoothly, and we wish you a smooth journey in your future math studies. This is a notebook and bookmarks, which can also be used as a notepad."

Qiao Zhaoxiang handed over the bag and added, "These are all school cultural and creative products. Take them back and use them. You're welcome to come and exchange ideas again for future teaching and research activities."

……

stadium.

Director Miao, the team leader, sat on the coach's bench, watching the other schools' matches from below the stage, somewhat absent-minded.

More than an hour has passed.

Why isn't Teacher Lu back yet?

Those guys from the provincial experimental school are all seasoned veterans, especially that guy surnamed Qiao, he's got no good intentions at all.

Teacher Lu is new to the workforce and has a naive mind. Although she has encountered some wicked people, there are many tricks in the education industry. Don't be fooled!

Ugh!

Director Miao sighed heavily in his heart. He should have insisted on going with her, even if it meant he hadn't asked.

We're on someone else's turf now, so it's inconvenient to call in reinforcements.

He believed that Teacher Lu would firmly choose Yucai School, and he also believed in Teacher Lu's character, but he didn't trust those guys from the Provincial Experimental School!

I brought Teacher Lu out myself, but now Teacher Lu's condition is unknown.

For a moment, his mind was in complete turmoil.

...

No, if Teacher Lu doesn't come back soon, I'll leave during the break in the competition.

When I went to Qiao Zhaoxiang's place, I started hitting people... no, I started questioning people.

With my skills... no, with my words, I'm sure I can get the answer!

No matter how dangerous the provincial experimental zone may be, I, Miao Lifeng, am determined to venture in!

……

At the entrance of the stadium.

Qiao Zhaoxiang and Fang Changming escorted Lu Qian all the way here, their eyes filled with reluctance.

Both of them knew that once they went inside, they wouldn't see Lu Qian for a while.

"Teacher Lu, the competition went well, so we won't go in," Qiao Zhaoxiang said.

Lu Qian shook hands and said, "Thank you, Director Qiao and Teacher Fang, for showing me around your school. If I have the opportunity to visit Yucai School in the future, I will personally show you both around!"

After exchanging a few polite words, the two parted ways.

After Lu Qian entered the stadium, Qiao Zhaoxiang and Fang Changming returned the way they came.

"Sigh, the more I wait, the more I want it," Fang Changming sighed. "If Teacher Lu were to come, it would definitely be a great help to my future teaching."

Qiao Zhaoxiang chuckled and shook his head, feeling even more admiration for Lu Qian.

Just as Fang Changming said, if Lu Qian really came as invited, something would be missing.

"Teacher Fang, try to think more positively. Although it's not nice to say it like this, if we can't recruit Teacher Lu, we probably can't recruit him from other schools either."

Fang Changming paused, then sighed, "That makes sense!"

Other schools do not refer to the key high schools in Jiangcheng, but rather to more well-known schools in other cities.

It's only been three months. After teaching several classes of students, Teacher Lu will be like a dragon lying dormant in the deep sea, soaring into the sky.

When that time comes, even more prestigious schools will surely flock to us.

……

Lu Qian stood at the entrance of the gymnasium, shaking the canvas bag in his hand, which contained the school's cultural and creative products given to him by Qiao Zhaoxiang.

These are indeed compliant.

It is mainly given to teachers, superiors, and partner organizations who come for exchanges.

Even the current participating schools might receive a copy.

However, it felt really different when Director Qiao delivered it personally.

Recalling the entire visit, Lu Qian smiled. He had to go back and impress Zeqin properly!

Director Miao was still on the coach's bench, contemplating the terrain of the provincial experimental teaching building.

Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted Lu Qian at the entrance of the stadium, and her eyes widened immediately.

...

The match was paused shortly afterward.

Lu Qian showed his coaching certificate and returned to the rest area.

Director Miao hurried over and said in a low but excited voice, "Teacher Lu, you're back!"

Lu Qian nodded. "I gave them a tour and they just came back."

Director Miao breathed a sigh of relief. "Good, it's good that you're back."

"How did the competition go?" Lu Qian asked.

Coach Hong chimed in, "You've come back just in time. Our next match is next. By the way, what's this?"

"Souvenirs and cultural products from the Provincial Experimental School," Lu Qian said casually, placing the items on a chair and looking at Feng Zhiqiang and the others. "How are you guys feeling?"

Team members: "We're on fire!"

The rest ended shortly afterward.

It was Yucai's turn to take the stage.

After the morning's presentation, other schools already consider Yucai a formidable rival.

The remaining two schools in the group were especially on high alert.

The first men's singles player faced Feng Zhiqiang. He looked tense and focused on responding, but Feng Zhiqiang easily took the first point in the first few rounds of the match.

Then came the second point, the third point...

Lu Qian watched from the rest area and gradually felt relieved.

Great, you're gradually integrating into the competition.

As long as you can perform consistently on the field, Daqiang, you are the strongest!

……

Yucai High School.

Director Pan was in his office, his left hand supporting his forehead as he looked at his work log, while his right hand held a ballpoint pen, which he gently dangled on the table.

I can't concentrate on my work.

I wonder how Teacher Lu is doing.

That old fox Qiao Zhaoxiang is meticulous in his work. Even if he fails to poach someone, he will definitely leave a good impression on Teacher Lu.

Fortunately, my bond with Teacher Lu is deep enough, otherwise I would have been quite worried.

Now?

I was only slightly nervous.

buzz-

A message popped up on my phone; it was from Director Miao.

[Director Miao: Teacher Lu is back]

hmm~

Director Pan's expression suddenly relaxed, and he said he wasn't nervous at all.

Huh, why haven't I changed a single thing in my journal?

……

Class 25.

Geng Zeqin sat lazily on the podium, resting his chin on one hand.

He came to help supervise the self-study sessions as requested.

The PE teacher came to help supervise self-study, but Lu Qian, the math teacher, led the class away instead.

This is truly a reversal of the natural order.

After watching for a while, he tiptoed downstairs for a stroll.

I must say, watching students study occasionally is quite a unique experience.

Geng Zeqin arrived at the last row and was about to turn to the other side when his gaze faltered. He rubbed his eyes, thinking he had misread it.

"This... um?"

"Where did this come from?" Geng Zeqin came to Li Jun's side, pointed at the wooden carving of Lu Xiaoqian, and asked in confusion.

Li Jun grinned, "Teacher Lu's study buddy is one of a kind!"

"He's pretty savvy!" Geng Zeqin chuckled. "How did he get it?"

Fan Siwen, standing nearby, covered her mouth and chuckled, "Teacher Geng, you have to take the exam. Are you going to compete with us?"

Geng Zeqin waved and left, saying, "Sorry to bother you!"
