Chapter 32: The Dean's Strange Request

  When we saw the instructor appear, we all stood up at once with a sudden movement.

  The instructor waved his hand at us and said: "All of you disperse, Yi Feng come with me for a trip, others do what they should do!"

  The instructor turned around and walked out of the dormitory while speaking.

  I looked at everyone with a bit of helplessness and said, "Alright, go back to your respective classes for self-study. Let's gather in the dormitory at noon."

  On the way to the teaching office, the director of studies didn't say a word to me, just walking ahead, and I followed behind him about four or five steps away.

  He led me into the office of the teaching department, pulled up a chair for me to sit on, and then went back to close the door.

  After closing the door, the director of teaching affairs handed me a cigarette and said: "Yi Feng, now that it's just the two of us, let's have a good talk about Yu Zichen's situation!"

  The head teacher handed me a cigarette which already surprised me, now he mentioned Yu Zichen's matter, this made my heart somewhat uncertain.

  I didn't go to pick up the cigarette, I smiled and said: "Director of Teaching, students are not allowed to smoke, and isn't Yu Zichen's matter already handled? What do you want to talk about him again?" ?? Tian Sheng Hun Wang 32

  The instructor saw that I didn't take the cigarette, so he threw it on the table in front of me and said: "If you want to smoke, take it yourself. Don't think I don't know, you little brats must have smoked a lot usually. When I went to your dormitory just now, I could still smell the smoke."

  I smiled foolishly and didn't say anything.

  "Yi Feng, the plan you came up with for Yu Zi Chen was very thorough, and it completely succeeded. However, there's one part that I just can't figure out: why did Yu Zi Chen stupidly pull out a knife and slash at Lao Ho and you? And what's more, he did it in front of everyone, leaving himself no room to retreat. It doesn't seem like something someone as meticulous as Yu Zi Chen would do."

  That thing I did very meticulously, I myself acknowledge that those who are not skilled in martial arts will absolutely not be able to see the subtleties of Yin Ruzi's Morning.

  So I continued to pretend ignorance: "I don't know about this, the head teacher should go ask Yu Zichen instead of coming to ask me."

  The director of studies smiled: "My surname is Zheng, you can just call me Teacher Zheng, don't always be calling me Director of Studies."

  I nodded: "Okay, Teacher Zheng."

  The headmaster looked at me with a slightly meaningful smile and said, "Yi Feng, don't worry about it. I'm asking about Yu Zi Chen's matter not to make things difficult for you. His thing has already been understood, and the compensation that should be given has also been fully paid by your family. I just asked casually."

  I murmured and said: "If that's the case, Teacher Zheng, can I go now? I still have to go back for morning self-study!"

  The instructor waved his hand and said: "You can't go yet, there are two more things I need to verify with you."

  "What?"

  The headmaster smiled and said: "First of all, are you going to war with Tie Lu?"

  I was shocked, this head teacher's news is too well-informed. Is it because Jia Xingliang, who I just drove away, reported to him? Yes, it must be like that, otherwise how could the head teacher catch us red-handed in the dormitory?

  Seeing me not speaking, the director of studies said: "Judging from your expression, I should be right. I knew this news last night. I went to your classroom and dormitory to find you, but unfortunately, you weren't there. Early in the morning, I went to your classroom again, and you still weren't there. So I went to your dormitory to find you. Coincidentally, I just caught up with you having a meeting. Shouldn't you be discussing how to deal with Iron Donkey? Do you have any strategy?"

  Some words from the director of studies made me feel a chill down my spine, this guy's intelligence network is too dense. If what he said was true, that he knew it last night, then it wasn't Jia Xingliang who leaked the secret, which means the director of studies has other sources of information. ?? Tian Sheng Hun Wang 32

  This thing Tie Liu will definitely not make public, the people who know must be around Tie Liu, that is to say, the person who made the report to the head teacher is the person around Tie Liu, in other words, that person is the head teacher's informant!

  Thinking of this, I couldn't help but wonder if there would be a teaching director among my new younger brothers.

  I adjusted my surprised expression, took a deep breath and said: "Teacher Zheng, are you kidding me? What Iron Donkey, I don't even know him, so it's even more impossible to talk about going to war."

  The class teacher's smile turned into a cold sneer: "Oh, is that so? Yi Feng, I'll say it bluntly, if you and Tie Lu get into a group fight at school and I catch you, I absolutely won't let you off easy."

  The head of this grade must know more than me, I know that I can't pretend to be ignorant anymore, so I plucked up the courage and said: "I didn't think about fighting with Tie Lu, but if he wants to fight with me, I will definitely not remain silent!"

  I thought the head teacher would scold me severely and then slap me in the face.

  But I waited for a moment and didn't see the instructor get angry, instead I heard him chuckle.

  I was taken aback for a moment.

  The instructor handed me a cigarette again, which was the second time he had handed me a cigarette. I felt a bit embarrassed, so I simply accepted it and took the lighter on the table to light it myself.

  Damn it, just die already!

  When I started smoking, the head teacher laughed even more happily and said: "Damn it, this is the reaction a man should have! Yi Feng, if you're not satisfied, speak up. I don't oppose having thugs in school, nor do I oppose them using violence in school!"

  The director's words shocked me so much that I almost dropped the cigarette I had just lit. Is this something a teacher should say?

  The director of studies looked at my astonished expression and smiled: "Yi Feng, you don't have to be so surprised. This is my educational approach. I've always thought that the current education system is a failure. The whole school is just about textbooks, which makes students lose all their vitality. The content in the textbooks is all the same, rigidly adhering to conventions. If students all follow what's taught in class, haha, they'll all become obedient kids who only know how to follow rules. If that's the case, this country will be doomed!"

  "What's wrong with that? If students follow school rules and become law-abiding citizens after graduation, won't society be stable?"

  I had just finished speaking when the director's face turned red with anger: "Ignorance, ignorance, this is the failure of education! Do you really think that if everyone minds their own business and behaves, society will be stable? Wrong, don't forget, our country still has enemies. If all the people in our entire country become law-abiding citizens, what will happen?"

  "I was bullied!"

  The director nodded: "That's right, it's being bullied. The biggest harm of the current education method is that it has eliminated all students' aggressiveness. A nation without aggressiveness cannot be strong and self-defending."

  "I retorted: 'If others don't bully us, we won't bully others; if others bully us, we'll fight back. What's wrong with that? Why must it be aggressive...'"

  The headmaster shook his head: "This is a self-deceptive idea of yours. Are you going to wait for others to bully you, and then you'll bully them back? Why don't you think about why others would bully you?"

  Right, why would others bully me?

  "Is it because I'm not strong enough?"

  The instructor shook his head: "Wrong, because you didn't show any aggression!"

  Looking back on history, the Han people occupied the fertile Central Plains, and cannot be said to be weak. Yet this powerful nation was always bullied by the nomadic peoples of the North? Why? Is it because we were not strong enough? No, it's because we lacked an aggressive nature! Looking at history again, every time the Han people flourished, prospered, and became strong, it was always during an era when they used military force to pacify the four barbarian tribes. This shows that a nation can only become powerful if it has an aggressive nature; without it, it will only be slaughtered.

  I was thoroughly shocked, the director's words completely shocked me. At that time, I was only in high school and couldn't fully understand many of the contents, but I still felt that what he said was very cool and made a lot of sense.

  This conversation with the instructor also influenced my life for decades afterwards.

  I nodded vaguely as if I understood.

  The headmaster smiled: "So Yifeng, the school's troublemakers I won't let you off, but absolutely don't have the intention of eliminating you. I need you to maintain your aggressiveness, need you to keep this nation aggressive, need you to awaken more aggressiveness."

  I smiled: "Our mission seems quite grand."

  The headmaster also smiled and said: "I know, my idea is very radical, even a bit childish, but this is my dream. What I can do now is just to help you people who still have blood to continue keeping your blood, while not letting you go astray! Let's see together what will happen to this country!"

  The words of the director moved me deeply, I didn't have his high awareness, in my heart I only thought of my family, my brothers, and my girlfriend Lu Xiaoyu, but this director was thinking of the future of the whole country, although he could do very little for this country!

  I pinched out the cigarette in my hand and bowed to Director Zheng, saying: "Director Zheng, you are the greatest teacher I have ever seen."

  The headmaster laughed and scolded: "Alright, stop flattering me. I called you here to tell you about the iron donkey incident, also to remind you that while you can fight, the outcome must be within the school's manageable range. Absolutely cannot have something like what happened with Yu Zichen, alarming the police and having a bad impact on the school."

  I nodded: "Will we be expelled?"

  The Dean of Education shook his head: "As long as you don't get too many points, it won't work out. Otherwise, An Kang and Lu Jiu would have been kicked out a long time ago."

  The head teacher brought out An Kang and Lu Jiu, the two big brothers of No. 1 Middle School, to tell me that they must follow the rules of No. 1 Middle School's mixed school, let alone me.

  This is also considered as "beating the mountain to scare the tiger".

  I nodded silently.

  Since I'm more clear-headed, the instructor asked: "Secondly, I saw Tan Yong in your dormitory. I want to confirm with you, is he not officially hanging out with you?"

  I thought for a moment and didn't hide it from the head teacher, so I nodded, while starting to think about why this Qin Yong would attract the attention of the head teacher. Had he done something "big" before throwing himself at me?

  The Dean of Education saw me nodding and sighed: "Qin Yong has finally taken this step? Forget it, let him be!"

  I was curious and asked the instructor what was special about this Qian Yong.

  The head teacher smiled and said: "Yi Feng, you know a lot about the mixed students, but you don't know much about the top students in Yizhong, do you? This Tan Yong is the champion of the city's middle school entrance examination!"

  After listening to the instructor's words, I burst out laughing after a while: "Teacher Zheng, don't joke around, how could Qin Yong be the top scorer in the college entrance examination? He doesn't look like it at all, and he even looks a bit silly!"

  The head teacher shook his head: "That's right, the first time I saw Tan Yong, I also thought he couldn't learn well because he looked too stupid and too silly, but Tan Yong was actually the top scorer in the middle school entrance exam!"

  I saw the expression of the teaching director, not like joking at all, and instantly believed: "Middle school champion, my dear, middle school champion following me to be a rascal, this is unheard of."

  The teaching director also nodded: "Indeed, this Qian Yong looks very silly, but he is very dedicated, and his grades in all subjects are excellent, and he has received attention from many teachers. Now he has abandoned the attention of all teachers and devoted himself to you, haha, Yi Feng, it's easy to imagine that you will become a thorn in the eyes of many teachers!"

  A chill ran down my spine and I subconsciously asked, "Teacher Zheng, Qian Yong is such a good student, so why did he become a hoodlum?"

  The instructor shook his head: "This is what I agreed with Qin Yong, I can't tell anyone, and you don't go ask him either. Wait for him to want to tell you, he will naturally tell you. You also don't need to give him any special treatment, just treat him as an ordinary brother, and he will be fine after being tempered. This is also a request from me to you."

  What kind of request is this? Asking the city's worst student to take care of the city's best student, haha, a legendary tale, unprecedented in history!
