Live Stream: Overly Pampered Education Creates Three Superstars in One Family

Chen Chu put his hand on Chen Ziran's shoulder and praised, "Good son, you did the right thing! You're a filial son! You truly are my son, so wonderful! How can there be such a sensible child!"

Chen Ziran stood there, trying to suppress the corners of his mouth, but in the end he couldn't hold it in and they turned up.

AK is hard to press.

He scratched the back of his head, trying to put on an "it's no big deal" expression, but his slightly raised chin and the corners of his mouth that he couldn't help but turn up betrayed him.

The comments section was filled with wailing.

[Are you kidding me? You're praising me like I'm a kindergartener!]

Please, stop praising him! Don't make Ziran sound like a good kid, it makes me uncomfortable!

[I'll give you 200 points, can you upgrade Ziran's stats a bit? Let him experience the beatings from his father!]

Ziran's attempt to control his expression has completely failed; he probably thinks he's smarter than Einstein right now.

Old Feng, the head of the teaching department, sat behind his desk, watching the scene unfold before him, his temples throbbing.

He looked at Chen Chu's sincere praise and then at Chen Ziran's smug expression, opened his mouth, but swallowed the words back.

He wanted to say something critical, but he glanced at Chen Chu and then at the dark camera lens next to him.

How should I respond to that?

If he were to say that Chen Ziran was wrong, Chen Chu's next remark would definitely be, "You don't encourage students to be filial." Then he would become a "cold-blooded headmaster who doesn't encourage filial piety," a label he couldn't bear.

Old Feng took a deep breath, swallowed back the scolding that was on the tip of his tongue, and forced a somewhat stiff smile onto his face: "Well... Ziran is indeed quite filial, that's something to be acknowledged."

He paused, adjusted his glasses, looked at Chen Ziran, and adopted a gentler tone: "Besides wanting to help your father, is there any other reason?"

Chen Ziran hesitated for a moment. He glanced at Chen Chu, who was standing beside him. Chen Chu didn't answer for him, but simply nodded slightly, giving him an encouraging look.

That gaze seemed to be saying something.

Go ahead and say it, tell me everything that's on your mind.

Chen Ziran clenched his fist, then relaxed it, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Also... the convenience store is too far away."

His voice wasn't loud, but it was clear in the quiet office: "After playing ball or finishing PE class, the students are always tired and thirsty, but it takes more than twenty minutes to walk to the convenience store. By the time they get their water and come back, the next class has already started. The cafeteria is the same; it's too far from the teaching building. They have to run there after class at noon, queue up for food, eat, and then run back, and their lunch break is over..."

He paused here, glanced at the dean of students' expressions, and continued after confirming that the dean wouldn't interrupt him: "So the place I sell water is right next to the playground, so students can buy it just a few steps after playing ball. I help boarding students charge their devices because their dorms don't have enough outlets, and the school doesn't allow power banks. I also buy lunch for them because the cafeteria is too far away and the lines are too long..."

He poured out all the inconveniences of the school, speaking more and more fluently, as if these words had been bottled up inside him for too long and had finally found an outlet.

There was a few seconds of silence in the office. Then the head of student affairs turned to the students peeking in through the doorway and raised his voice, asking, "What about you? Do you also think the convenience store and the cafeteria are too far?"

This question was like opening a floodgate.

The students standing at the door exchanged glances, then one of them spoke up: "Director, it's really too far! By the time we rush there after class at noon, finish queuing, and eat, it's already 1 PM. There's no time for a lunch break!"

"Last time I had a stomachache, so I ran to the convenience store to buy tissues, and halfway there I just... just..."

The boy hesitated and didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present understood what he omitted.

"And another thing, a male student started getting food for the boy he liked every day, and eventually, they both fell in love!"

A burst of laughter filled the office.

The headmaster, rubbing his forehead, his head already throbbing, waved his hands repeatedly, trying to suppress the outcry.

"Stop, stop, stop, I understand, I get it."

He took off his glasses, wiped the lenses, and put them back on. "The school is indeed seriously considering this issue. School leaders are deeply concerned about it, and the school is thinking about how to solve it. We are also working hard to solve this problem, but..."

"I hope that students can carry forward the traditional spirit of hard work and perseverance..."

Chen Chu, who was standing next to him, suddenly coughed. The sound was not loud, but it interrupted the head of the teaching department.

He casually interjected, "I understand. The head of student affairs means that having students attend class on an empty stomach will better motivate them to learn."

The head of the teaching department paused for a moment, then turned to look at Chen Chu with a look of fear in his eyes.

Did he actually say that?

Chen Chu remained expressionless and continued, "Moreover, I just heard that some classmates developed feelings for each other while sharing meals."

It seems the head of student affairs had a deeper meaning in placing the cafeteria so far away—to encourage early romantic relationships and contribute to the country's birth rate.

He nodded, a look of "I see" on his face. "Brilliant, absolutely brilliant."

The head of the teaching department stared at him in disbelief, opening his mouth several times but unable to utter a sound. No, did he really say those words?

The comments section was absolutely in stitches.

[Hahaha, you know how to label people!]

[Dean of Students: I didn't say that! I didn't say that! I didn't say anything!]

[Chen Chu's analytical skills are such that it's a waste that he's not a journalist!]

Just as Chen Chu was about to continue his interpretation...

The dean of students hurriedly waved his hand, took a deep breath, and said, "I understand the students' intentions, I understand them all. I will come up with a solution in a few days."

Chen Chu raised an eyebrow and said sarcastically, "In a few days it will be..."

Seeing that Chen Chu was about to explain, the head of the teaching department quickly spoke up.

"No, no need for a few days, tomorrow at the latest! Tomorrow is fine, I'll come up with a plan tomorrow."

"We guarantee that the students will be satisfied."

Chen Chu pointed at the camera and said, "Millions of netizens are watching the live stream. I believe the Dean of Students won't go back on his word. What do you all think?"

Upon hearing this, the students began to murmur and make a fuss.

"Of course, we trust the head of student affairs."

"The director certainly wouldn't lie!"

"The director told us to be responsible people, never shirk responsibility, and always finish our work within the allotted time!"

Chen Chu said with a grin, "Yeah, the head of the teaching department is such a responsible and good teacher. He stays up all night to solve the students' problems first."

"That's incredibly responsible! A teacher like that deserves to be the head of student affairs!"

"Everyone's malfunctioning!"

The students cheered and applauded.

Yeah.

The comments section couldn't hold back anymore.

"Dude, weren't you just saying the dean of students was irresponsible and encouraged students to date? How come you're saying he's responsible now?"

"Schrödinger's headmaster?"

"Good grief, they're treating the head of student affairs like a fool! But... I like it, hahaha!"

"Can the head of student affairs really accomplish this task?"
