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

As soon as Lu Qian said this, the room fell silent.

Liu Yaru looked stunned. After a couple of seconds of blank stare, she repeated incredulously, "Professional figure skating training? Yu Mo is competing?"

If it's just for leisure and entertainment, she wouldn't be so surprised; having multiple hobbies is a good thing.

But isn't participating in the competition a bit too far-fetched?

This kind of sport, which is cultivated from a young age, is difficult to achieve once missed; there's no such thing as entering a sport halfway through.

Just like the flexibility of the limbs in dance, it is something that is learned from childhood. As you get older, your limbs will be fixed in shape.

No matter how much you practice, you won't achieve much.

Moreover, the cost of ice skating is exceptionally high, and the investment and return are often disproportionate.

With her dance background, Zhai Yumo could become a dance teacher even if things don't go well in the future, as long as she continues to practice. She wouldn't have to worry about making a living.

Moreover, she had other plans for Zhai Yumo's future.

Faced with Liu Yaru's shock, Lu Qian calmly nodded.

Liu Yaru frowned slightly, glanced at Zhai Yumo, and slowly shook her head. "I'm sorry, Teacher Lu, I can't agree to that."

"Although Yu Mo and I are not related by blood, she has been practicing dance with me since she was a child and has been with me ever since. Although she calls me 'sister,' I also treat her like my own daughter. After more than ten years of friendship, I can't just ignore her future."

"I can't guarantee that dancing will make Yu Mo a lot of money, but I can guarantee that she will have no worries about food and clothing. As for skating, a sport with high investment and low return, it is not suitable for Yu Mo."

"Teacher Lu, do you understand what I mean?"

The voice was steady and clear, not loud but very powerful, and the eyes were fixed on Lu Qian.

Liu Yaru put it very tactfully, and this was only because Lu Qian was Zhai Yumo's homeroom teacher and genuinely cared about the student.

If it were anyone else, they would have kicked them out with a frosty expression.

How is this any different from the talent scouts of the past?

Zhai Yumo's family circumstances did not allow her to gamble on such a vague and uncertain future.

In Liu Yaru's mind, she had already paved a fairly good path for Zhai Yumo.

The dance class is quite large, and she has saved some money over the years. She was thinking that if she were to open another class, she could hire Zhai Yumo as the manager.

They are family, children taught by their own hands, and they trust them.

If all else fails, being a dance teacher wouldn't be bad either, would it?

The future is somewhat secure.

Lu Qian nodded slowly; Liu Yaru's attitude actually made him feel relieved.

If they're one of our own, then things will be even easier.

"Teacher Liu, what you said makes sense. I understand your thoughts," Lu Qian agreed.

Liu Yaru also breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that Teacher Lu was a sensible person.

Zhai Yumo gently held Liu Yaru's hand. She was very moved and felt very lucky to have met these two good teachers.

Lu Qian paused for a moment, then continued, "Teacher Liu, I understand your thoughts, but I would like to ask you to hear mine."

Liu Yaru narrowed her eyes. It seemed that she had spoken too soon about being sensible, and Teacher Lu was still not giving up.

Even if she had to plead with the heavens today, she would never let Yu Mo learn to ice skate.

"Please speak."

"it is good."

Lu Qian picked up an A4 sheet of paper from the table and wrote as he spoke, "Teacher Liu, the sport of skating, in the final analysis, is only affected by two factors."

"Talent and funding, right? Both are indispensable."

Liu Yaru nodded slowly, "That's right."

"Okay, let's talk about Yu Mo's skating talent first. You've been teaching Yu Mo to dance since she was little, so you know she's never been exposed to skating before. Last week was her first time skating, and she learned to skate in a very short time, mastering some difficult moves." Lu Qian wrote a few simple strokes on the paper.

"It only took a week!"

Liu Yaru frowned slightly but remained silent.

"Why was she able to learn in such a short time? There are two reasons. First, it's because Yu Mo has a natural talent for skating. Second, it's because of you, Teacher Liu," Lu Qian said slowly.

"I?"

"Yes, you." Lu Qian nodded. "Ice skating is a comprehensive sport, a combination of talents in gliding, jumping, spinning, choreography, physical ability, artistry, and psychology."

"And all of this is included in the dances you taught her. Furthermore, because she has been practicing dance since she was a child, Yu Mo has maintained excellent physical fitness and flexibility, and she can learn various figure skating moves very quickly, which greatly reduces the learning time."

"You agree, right?"

Lu Qian spoke clearly and slowly, so Liu Yaru could hear him very well.

That makes a lot of sense.

That's really how dance is; jumping and spinning are essential skills. The same applies to choreography and art; you need to dance to music and find suitable background music.

As for their mental state, dancers who have trained from a young age have exceptional resilience and ability to withstand pressure and setbacks.

Which dancer didn't practice until they cried when they were young, repeating a single move hundreds of times?

Liu Yaru couldn't find a way to refute it.

"Teacher Lu, you're right."

Lu Qian nodded again, "Okay, now that we've talked about talent, let's talk about funding."

He smiled as he said this.

"Teacher Liu, your biggest concern is that Yu Mo's family doesn't support spending on ice skating, right?"

"That's right."

"Then you don't need to worry anymore. The school has established an 'Ice and Snow Special Sponsorship Project,' which will reimburse all of Yu Mo's skating expenses, with an initial investment of two million," Lu Qian said.

"Two million!" Liu Yaru's eyes widened suddenly. "Really?"

Zhai Yumo was also shocked. She only knew that all expenses would be reimbursed, but she didn't know the exact amount.

Two million? Goodness, that's an astronomical figure!

"I don't remember your school having this sponsorship, and Yu Mo only started skating last week, how come she already has it?" Liu Yaru asked with a suspicious look.

Lu Qian took out his phone and found the sponsorship certificate. "What a coincidence, a kind citizen came to sponsor us on Monday."

It bears the school's official seal; it can't be faked.

Liu Yaru fell silent. She suddenly felt like she couldn't keep up with Teacher Lu's pace.

"Actually, it was Teacher Lu who helped me find the sponsorship," Zhai Yumo muttered softly. "Teacher Lu didn't say, but I guessed it right away. I'm usually pretty quick-witted."

Lu Qian smirked, "You little rascal."

Hey~

Liu Yaru didn't say anything, and that actually solved the problem.

With talent, there's no need to worry about funding.

It seems there's no reason to refuse.

After a moment of silence, Liu Yaru spoke up: "Teacher Lu, Yu Mo's future..."

She didn't know how to put it, so she directly questioned whether Yu Mo could achieve good results in the competition and whether it would affect the child's mentality.

Lu Qian understood immediately and said with a smile, "It's very simple. You'll know when Yu Mo participates in her first competition. If it doesn't work out, she can come back to dancing without any problems."

Liu Yaru felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders; with that, all the problems were solved.

"Teacher Lu, since Yu Mo seems quite talented, let's give her a try."

"I agree."
