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

On the playground.

The students in PE class just stared blankly at the students in Class 25.

Playing on your phone so openly is a bit pretentious!

Xuan Ming was constantly adjusting the shooting parameters on his phone. (The student with the talent for hunting)

He is quite interested in photography and will take pictures of anything he sees that looks good. He also takes his camera to comic conventions on weekends to take photos.

That's how I met Teacher Lu at the comic convention last time.

Several other students from Class 25 were also nearby, laughing and showing off the photos they had taken.

"Dude, if you keep using your phone like that, the teacher will see you," a boy who was having PE class said as he passed by.

"what?"

Xuanming was taken aback for a moment, and was about to say something in a slightly exaggerated manner when the boy shouted urgently, "Oh no, Director Miao is coming!"

"Which class are you from, playing on your phone so openly!" Miao Lifeng frowned and strode over.

He's not in charge of studying, but the phone was practically held up to the sky; he couldn't just pretend he didn't see it.

"Dude, you're in for a rough time." A passerby walked a few steps away, looking like he was watching a good show.

Miao Lifeng walked up to Xuan Ming and several classmates. "Cellphone, which class is it from?"

Xuanming honestly replied, "It's from Class 25 of the second year of high school. This is a sunset photography competition organized by Teacher Lu."

Miao Lifeng abruptly stopped talking, lowering his raised hand. "Teacher Lu's student..."

He turned his head and glanced at the sunset. "The sunset is indeed beautiful today. Okay, let's focus on the game."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Even in the two long-established top-performing classes, Shao Mingrui and Zheng Benqing, many students bring their phones, and some top students even use their study time to look up information.

There's no need to say more about Teacher Lu's pre-selected top-performing class.

Every teacher has their own teaching method, so he didn't try to disrupt it.

"Oh, okay, goodbye Director Miao." Xuanming was stunned for a moment, and once again witnessed Teacher Lu's authority.

Not far away, a student passerby who was expecting to watch the show was stunned.

"Hey, Director Miao, aren't you collecting cell phones?"

Someone nearby glanced at him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Those are students from Class 25. Don't compare yourself to them; you can't afford to get hurt."

"Of course, if our class can also become a gold medal class, we might get some minor privileges too."

"Sigh, I really want to know what the top students do every day."

……

Lu Qian was unaware of the interesting events happening outside; he went to the security room to retrieve his package.

These are ice molds and ice picks, along with other tools, that I bought a few days ago.

Ninety-odd yuan, not cheap.

Back in the classroom, several students curiously gathered around.

"Teacher, what is this?"

"Wow, it's huge! Is this an insulated box?"

"..."

Lu Qian smiled and said, "Ice cube molds, to freeze ice cubes."

A student suggested, "Why don't we just freeze them in mineral water bottles?"

Lu Qian smiled mysteriously, "These two types of ice are not the same."

As darkness fell outside, students returned in twos and threes, and upon seeing Lu Qian, they rushed over with their phones in hand.

"Teacher, look at the sunset I photographed!"

"Yours won't do; it's all blurry, like an abstract style."

"This is terrible, I need to get a new phone."

"What about the old one?"

"Put it on the spinning top..."

Hahahaha, hehehe.

A burst of laughter erupted around them. Xuanming and a few classmates recounted how they had just encountered Director Miao but hadn't had their phones confiscated, which made the classmates feel proud.

This is the privilege of being a good student!

Upon hearing this, a thoughtful glint flashed in Lu Qian's eyes.

A moment later, the students returned to their seats, waiting for the competition to begin.

Lu Qian stood on the podium, without mentioning the sunset photography competition.

"Our class's grades have improved; we're currently fifth in the grade. How does everyone feel? What's different compared to before?"

The whole class answered in unison.

"I've gained confidence and I'm not so afraid of teachers anymore."

"I find learning interesting now."

"Just one word: Awesome!"

Lu Qian nodded and pressed his hands together lightly. "What you said is all correct, but there is one more key point: the privileges that come with good grades."

"Because our class's grades have improved, the school turns a blind eye to some things we do, such as taking cell phones."

"You may have brought your phones before, but you didn't dare to openly take them out in front of the teacher. Now that you can, the teacher might not take it so seriously. It's a privilege, and it's also a form of recognition."

"The school believed that I could control your phones, and I also believed that you could control your phones and that you wouldn't be influenced by them. And you have indeed done so, becoming self-disciplined children. I am very proud of you."

"But remember one thing: privilege is not a tool for showing off. You are excellent, so you should set a good example and not use 'I can use a mobile phone' as a way to show off, otherwise it will go against the original intention."

"Can it be done?"

The whole class shouted in unison, "Yes!"

"Okay, send the photos you took to the group chat, and I'll display them on the big screen," Lu Qian said.

All the students in the class posted their photos in the group chat.

Fan Siwen also messaged Li Jun, saying, "You just took a screenshot, right? Send it to the group chat and you can enter the competition."

The other party replied with "OK".

Little did Li Junzheng know that he was staring blankly at the screenshot. Seriously, Fan Siwen had found the perfect angle; the sunset and evening glow were absolutely stunning.

But the picture also shows Fan Siwen's face, her disheveled hair, and her clear eyes. Compared to that, the sunset next to her looks rather lackluster.

"Then I'm guaranteed to get first place!"

With that in mind, he sent the picture to the group chat.

There were also many group photos of classmates in the group at sunset, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Lu Qian stepped down from the podium. "Yang Shun, you come up here and open the photos. The whole class will score them."

Yang Shun scurried up like a monkey, and the whole class began to score the entries.

The classroom was filled with lively chatter.

The photos of sunsets flashed by, and soon we came to Li Jun's photo.

"This looks great!"

"As expected of Sister Wen, she always knows how to find the right angle!"

"Wait a minute, this is Li Jun's entry, right? Why is it Fan Siwen's photo?"

"Oh!"

A commotion arose.

Fan Siwen sat steadily, but the tips of her ears were burning.

Lu Qian looked at these vibrant students with amusement.

Finally, Li Jun's picture received unanimous praise from the whole class.

……

Evening self-study.

The whole class was there.

On the podium sat an ice mold made of insulated ice. (A tool used to freeze ice until it is crystal clear.)

Lu Qian held up two glasses. "Here you are. Let me test you. In chemistry, how do you prove that a glass instrument is clean?"

The whole class said, "The water neither gathers into drops nor flows down in streams."

"Not bad." Lu Qian pointed to the ice mold. "From now on, the class will have its own ice cubes."

"And there's a fun reward: if you improve your daily test scores and get first place, I'll carve an ice hockey puck for you and pour you your favorite drink. Of course, no alcoholic beverages."

Lu Qian declined some of the students' requests in advance.

Many boys perked up their ears; this was interesting.

A scene gradually appeared in my mind.

Two people held glasses with an ice ball inside, poured in some drinks, and gently clinked their glasses together.

Wow, the class has gone up instantly.

Although I haven't received the cup, the ice hockey puck, or even had a drink yet.

But they already felt like they were wearing tuxedos and clinking glasses at a high-class banquet.

grace!

"And the ice I make is different from regular ice. You can try freezing it in a mineral water bottle," Lu Qian added. "Once it's frozen, we can discuss why it's different."

"Alright, here's a short quiz. Now, pass it on to the next person."
