Chapter 54 (Chapter 54 has been heavily revised) President Jiang, you've arrived...

Chapter 54

Jin Ran felt that she probably had an indomitable spirit etched into her bones.

If we don't fight, we don't fight; but if we do fight, we fight to the very end, and we absolutely cannot allow ourselves to fail!

After realizing she couldn't change the principal's decision, she immediately adjusted her plans, scrapping and redoing everything she thought was acceptable, making sure everything was foolproof.

Soon, even the students in Class 3 noticed her unusual sense of urgency.

After math class ended, Chen Xunliang scratched the back of his head and hit the nail on the head: "Why do I have a feeling that Teacher Jin is about to transform?"

"Transform into what?"

"I feel like I'm about to turn into Ultraman and fight monsters."

Wang Shuya rolled her eyes: "Even if she transforms, she'll still be Sailor Moon."

Without exaggeration, Ms. Jin was the most beautiful teacher she had ever seen. When she first started working there, students would often secretly take photos and post them on the forum, and people would travel thousands of miles to rescue her.

Later, we learned that the teacher didn't stop either; instead, he took advantage of the break between classes to peek at the first-year high school students.

"Hehe, I was just using an example." He turned to look at Jiang Xuli, "Hey, Brother Li, do you know what happened?"

Wang Shuya didn't understand: "Why ask him? He and Teacher Jin don't talk to each other. I'm not even as close to Teacher Jin as he is."

Chen Xunliang hesitated, thinking that it was because of his proximity to the source, but remembering Brother Li's instructions, he didn't say it out loud: "I was just asking casually."

Jiang Xuli frowned slightly but remained silent.

Because he didn't know what had happened either.

After school in the evening, Jiang Xuli and her friends played basketball on the playground for a while. When they returned home, drenched in sweat, the housekeeper was standing at the kitchen door, checking the accounts while looking worriedly towards the balcony.

He followed the gaze and saw Jin Ran sitting on the first-floor balcony, lost in thought.

Jiang Xuli withdrew her gaze, went straight to the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of chilled drink, and gulped down most of it.

Looking back, Jin Ran hadn't even changed her posture, like a frozen stone statue.

He tightened his grip on the beverage bottle, and instead of heading upstairs, he turned back to the living room, sat on the sofa, and casually picked up the remote to turn on the TV.

The accented announcer's voice rang out in the villa, instantly filling the quiet living room. Jiang Xuli listened to the news lazily, but his attention was actually focused on the area not far behind him.

A moment later, the woman on the balcony stood up and walked over.

Jiang Xuli quickly sat up straight, staring intently at the screen, pretending to be completely focused.

The sofa beside me dipped slightly as someone sat down next to me, and the cool night breeze carried through the air.

Jin Ran found that spacing out was indeed a good way to restore energy. At this moment, she felt quite energetic. She patted Jiang Xuli on the shoulder and asked him to bring her a blanket. She wrapped herself in it to keep warm and then prepared to watch TV for a while in a relaxed mood.

"Um?"

The next second, she asked in a surprised tone, "You like watching this?"

Jiang Xuli was hesitating whether to say something comforting when he heard the woman's question and subconsciously responded. By the time he looked up, it was too late.

He found himself on an agricultural news channel, where a special program on scientific pig farming was playing.

Jiang Xuli: "..."

Jin Ran couldn't help but laugh.

The contrast between the fact that the son of a tech tycoon likes raising pigs is quite striking. However, as the saying goes, every profession has its top performers. As a parent and teacher, she felt she should support her student's legitimate hobby. She suppressed a smile and said, "Raising pigs is great. Maybe the housekeeper can even get a discount on pork in the future."

Jiang Xuli: "..."

You want to get a discounted price from him, right?

The boy pursed his lips, tightened his jaw, and put on a cold, angry face, looking like a pig being slaughtered. But after a while, he couldn't help but laugh along.

He had been worried just now, but this woman didn't seem sad at all!

I promptly picked up the remote and changed the channel.

The next day, Jiang Xuli, who had arrived at the school, found Chen Xunliang and asked, "Who are those basketball players you found?"

Chen Xunliang looked bewildered, but still said truthfully, "You know Yang Pangzi from Class 4, Qu Ping from Class 6, and the others from our class."

"Could you call them out?"

Their eyes met, and Chen Xunliang, seeing his brother Li's serious expression, also became serious: "Okay."

Last night, Jiang Xuli thought about it carefully. The thing that could concern her recently was probably the parents' visit.

He didn't know exactly what had happened, but he tried his best to help her as much as he could.

Leaving aside Jiang Xuli's preparations, time flew by, and June 30th arrived as scheduled for the parents' visit.

That morning, Mrs. Lin brought her nephew's family to Wencheng Middle School.

Besides them, there were actually other people.

Mrs. Lin smiled and introduced to Jin Ran, "For a family like ours, we don't worry about anything else, but we are worried about the children being naughty at school. When they learned that you work at Wencheng Middle School, they insisted on coming with me to see you."

Jin Ran felt slightly embarrassed upon hearing this reason.

I never imagined I would have such a "wonderful use".

However, it's clear that Mrs. Lin was just being polite. Nowadays, wealthy people like to send their children to international high schools or even abroad, but some people want their children to stay in China and naturally value the strength of public high schools.

Although Wencheng Middle School is not among the top schools in the country, it is one of the best in City A. Its academic level, competition results, and admission rate to prestigious universities are comparable to, or even better than, international high schools.

The tour bus drove smoothly into the school.

For today's event, Jin Ran specially adjusted her classes several days in advance to make time to receive everyone, sign in, warm up the atmosphere, and distribute tea and name tags.

Of course, she couldn't be alone on such an important occasion. She was the chief planner of the event, but the visit was a major event for the school, so the principal came in person, and several teachers from the administrative department came to help.

Even so, Jin Ran felt overwhelmed.

Busy! Busy! Extremely busy!

She was so busy that she experienced for the first time the breakdown of the other teachers in the hiking club's small group chat.

It turns out that it wasn't that Wencheng Middle School was considerate of its teachers, but rather that she hadn't been exposed to the core work area at all before!

It's important to know that teachers in other schools, in addition to preparing and teaching lessons, have an endless stream of lectures and research activities. They attend seven meetings a week, give one open class, and conduct countless trial lectures. The worst part is that they have to squeeze out time late at night to write research papers. Just thinking about it makes one's scalp tingle.

Compared to this, Jin Ran, who only teaches one class, seems to be living a life of luxury, almost like she's on vacation.

As she thought, her hands moved non-stop, distributing the prepared materials according to the number of people. According to the plan, the next activity was to show a school documentary, with the principal giving a ten-minute speech and a five-minute Q&A session to showcase Wencheng's educational philosophy to the parents.

However, Jin Ran looked around and found that everyone else was busy and had no time to operate the equipment.

Her heart skipped a beat. She had been standing there for half a minute, and just as she was about to put down her work, several students suddenly walked in through the auditorium door.

Leading the group was Jiang Xuli. It was rare for the boy to wear his school uniform so neatly. His upright posture and youthful attire made him look exceptionally energetic.

The students following behind him were also neatly dressed, and after entering the room, they looked around for work to do.

Some staff members greeted the parents, while others busied themselves serving tea and water. Jiang Xuli, however, walked straight to Jin Ran and silently took the document bag from her hand.

Jin Ran was stunned for a moment, but quickly let go.

Without saying much, the two exchanged a glance, and Jin Ran turned to walk towards the projection equipment. In just over ten seconds, she deftly plugged in the connection cable, adjusted the projector, and finally got the documentary playing smoothly at the last moment of the plan.

The whole process was carried out quietly, and none of the parents in the audience noticed the near-miss.

However, Jiang Xuli's identity was recognized by many people.

On the surface, everyone remained calm, but inwardly they were astonished. Although they had witnessed the peaceful coexistence of the stepmother and son at the last Jin family banquet, they never expected that the unruly young master of the Jiang family would actually obey Jin Ran's orders without complaint!

Looking at their own unruly children who have no manners, the ladies suddenly felt a surge of anger rising in their chests, and they really wanted to give them a good beating.

The children, unaware of their parents' thoughts, inexplicably shuddered.

I thought to myself, "The air conditioning in this school is really strong."

/

Children have their own ideas, but adults focus on a different perspective.

Because of Jiang Xuli's attitude, the ladies present paid even more attention to Jin Ran. Whether she was just putting on an act or genuinely capable, the fact that she could make the eldest young master of the Jiang family so obedient was enough to show that her status in the Jiang family was extraordinary.

Therefore, cultivating a good relationship with Jin Ran would be entirely beneficial for them.

The wives all made the same decision on their own. After attending a trial lesson taught by a top-level teacher, they were even more satisfied and strengthened their resolve to send their children to Wencheng School.

After leaving the auditorium, Mrs. Lin asked if she could look around.

Jin Ran smiled and nodded: "Of course, but it's currently final exam review week, and students are all preparing for the exams. We hope everyone will cooperate and keep quiet."

“That’s natural, learning is the most important thing,” the ladies echoed in unison.

So Jin Ran arranged for volunteers to take these ladies on a tour of the campus.

There are two guided tour routes: one from the library to the laboratory and then to the cafeteria, and the other from the art classroom, digital computer room, and playground. Participants can freely form groups according to their preferences.

After arranging everything, Jin Ran turned around to look behind her, only to find that Jiang Xuli and the others had quietly left sometime earlier.

/

At the same time, a luxurious Maybach drove into the school campus.

Upon receiving the news, the principal and others rushed over. Seeing the man getting out of the black car, they immediately went to greet him, "President Jiang, you've arrived. We were delayed by something and apologize for keeping you waiting."

Jiang Mingxu: "It's okay, I just arrived too."

His attitude was relatively mild, so the principal felt relieved and warmly invited him to the conference room for tea.

With the foundation laid by previous cooperation, the negotiations proceeded exceptionally smoothly. Both parties quickly reached an agreement: Mingji Technology will donate an indoor gymnasium to Wencheng Middle School and jointly establish an education foundation, with funds used to support underprivileged students and reward outstanding teachers and students.

As a condition, the completed gymnasium will be named "Mingji," and the school will need to cooperate with Mingji Technology to offer courses featuring the company's unique features, jointly creating a "renowned school + renowned enterprise" cooperation model.

Ultimately, Jiang Mingxu is a businessman, and businessmen don't do business at a loss. With policy support, Mingji Technology, which he donated to the school, can receive subsidies, and at the same time, a talent pool can be established in advance to facilitate the targeted training of potential future employees.

In addition to the two points mentioned above, corporate reputation is also an important aspect. A good corporate image helps to enhance public goodwill.

As for the principal, he gained many benefits with almost no cost, so he happily signed his name.

The speed of the collaboration was so fast that it was hard to believe this was a project worth millions.

Thinking back to the previous head of the teaching department, who could even mess up such a simple thing, the principal was so angry he gritted his teeth.

Seeing that it was getting close to noon, he suggested with a smile, "President Jiang, how about we have a casual lunch together later?"

Jiang Mingxu politely declined, saying, "No need."

Even so, he didn't leave immediately, but instead brought up another matter, "I heard that your school is having a parent visit today?"
