Chapter 75: The Writing Club's All-Out Explosion (Three)

  Li Yuming saw Su Jian's expressionless face walking out the door, and suddenly felt a sense of despair. It seems that things are not going as he had expected, and they are heading in the worst direction. Fortunately, he had been prepared for this, otherwise today would be too late to regret.

  Li Yuming hastily grabbed Su Zhen's arm and said with a smile: "What's the matter? Want to leave? I haven't finished speaking yet, how can you just leave? I'm your principal after all, don't you have to give me at least some respect?"

  Su Jin's fist clenched and then relaxed, barely suppressing the anger in his heart. His expressionless face said, "Is there anything else to say? Haven't we already said everything that needs to be said?"

  Li Yuming suppressed the smile on his face, sighed and said: "Xiao Jin, I am your principal, also your elder. No matter from which angle, there are some things that I should tell you. You are very smart and hardworking. I know what you were like when you were in First Middle School. But that doesn't matter, what I care about is now.

  You may not know, I have been engaged in education for thirty years, ten years as a frontline teacher, and then twenty years on the leadership position. I have many students, including those who have taken up leadership positions, your father is not the highest official, nor is he the richest one. But I always thought he was my most outstanding student! This conclusion I had never doubted before meeting you.

  Before you came to Shang Xing, Su Hangfeng had found me. It was the first time I saw a hint of despair and pleading on his face. These expressions I had never seen on his face before, I knew that Su Hangfeng was always full of vigor, always steady in his demeanor, and always bold and powerful.

  But that day, on his face, I saw all these expressions. He was for you. He hoped I could teach you well, with the last bit of hope. Because he had no other way out. Our nearly thirty years of teacher-student relationship, I wanted to agree with him. But I didn't dare, as an old teacher I know that human power is sometimes exhausted, in thirty years I have seen too many students who are not well-taught, this is not something my ability can change. What I can do is just be at peace with myself, nothing more.

  But perhaps heaven pitied you, your performance after coming to business school makes it hard for me to associate you with that spoiled brat from Number One Middle School. Perhaps you still don't like reading books and rarely come to school. But I know you've found a path of your own and are making unremitting efforts to move forward. Based on this alone, I can assert that you're already much stronger than many middle school students. Even some college students may not have thoughts like yours.

  Moreover, after this period of training, I am delighted to find that you have not only achieved certain success in your career, but also made great progress in personal qualities. Although current education is evaluated by scores, we all know that what really determines a person's achievement is not scores, but their personal qualities.

  But despite the improvement, you still have many shortcomings. Today's matter, from your expression, I know that you have already seen everything behind it! Well, I can also tell you directly that the reason behind all this is just a word "interest". The world is full of people seeking interest, and the world is full of people leaving for interest.

  But fundamentally, this is due to your lack of thoroughness in doing things. Those who achieve great things first gather people! I don't know what ideas you have for the writing club, but from the degree of concern you show for it, I can tell that it's very important to you! Since it's so important to you, you should be even more careful not to neglect factors that could affect it.

  Writing Club as a school club, if it's just for practicing writing, that's fine. But once you start making profits, you'll definitely be suspected of prying into others' privacy! This is because you can't decide his fate on your own. He belongs to the school, and everyone will acknowledge this point. Do you think you can just walk out of here today? Do you think choosing to burn jade and common stones together to resist the school's decision is a success?

  You're wrong, did you really think that apart from me, no one else knows how important you are to the writing club? Did you really think those teachers don't know anything about the internal affairs of the writing club? You're wrong, they're not unaware, they just don't care! Even if the writing club collapses, what's the big deal? Anyway, when it was thriving, they didn't get any benefits, and now that it's collapsed, they haven't lost anything either. On the contrary, if they succeed, they can reap huge rewards. No cost, all profit, why not?!

  "So, do you think they will mind if you leave or not? If you left today, no one would miss you, on the contrary, they would all feel lucky! The writing club is collapsing, and only you and those students who can benefit from it see hope! Your departure today can only prove your incompetence and cowardice!"

  Li Yuming's words were righteous and reasonable, Su Jin's forehead was covered in cold sweat, Su Jin slowly sat down on the chair, unable to speak for a long time.

  Li Yuming looked at Su Jin's low-headed and thoughtful appearance, with a hint of comfort in his eyes. After all, he was a malleable talent, good at carving, given time, it wouldn't be difficult to become a great vessel.

  Li Yuming's expression softened, and he said in a gentle voice: "Don't say I won't help you, but you should know that I also have unspeakable difficulties. However, don't be too desperate either. Don't think of all teachers as selfish people who only care about their own interests. Teachers are still a profession with relatively high professional ethics."

  I have explained your role to many teachers and also explained the reason for collecting profits. Most of the teachers expressed their understanding. For your approach of actively contacting society in school and finding a way out for the future, most of the teachers also expressed their affirmation and approval.

  But specifically how to make amends, you think of a good way. This kind of thing can't be done again, after all, people don't suffer from poverty but from inequality. You think about what to do. Also, what I said earlier, strengthening school management in the writing club is non-negotiable, this was decided at the school affairs meeting. But you don't have to worry, teachers going in are just for guidance purposes, I won't let them interfere with management, the person specifically responsible for this matter is Principal Zou, you can coordinate with him directly!

  After finishing, Li Yuming also playfully winked at Su Zhen. Su Zhen's heart suddenly felt even more grateful, he knew that Li Yuming was hinting that he knew about his good relationship with Principal Zou, and had made this arrangement. After Li Yuming's repeated teachings, Su Zhen's resentment towards him had completely disappeared, and instead, a strong feeling of gratitude welled up, this is what it means to be respected by one's principal.

  He knew that Li Yuming could have revealed the answer from the very beginning, and he would still be grateful to him. But he didn't do so, and the reason for taking this detour was to take this opportunity to teach Su a good lesson. Let him truly understand the cruelty and reality of society! Today, in school, Li Yuming takes care of himself, but he has already entered society. In society, such things are everywhere, who will take care of himself then?

  "Don't worry, Principal. I won't let your efforts go to waste. I'll take care of the rest, just watch my performance!" Su said with a determined face.

  Li Yuming's face showed a satisfied expression, saying: "Good, I believe you won't let me down, and I also believe you can handle this matter well. I'll be watching your performance."
