"Teacher Zhou, what have you thought about it? Really? Great! Okay, Vice Principal Li and I will go there soon!"
Early the next morning, when Wang Hongwen and Li Jianping were having breakfast in the hotel restaurant, Wang Hongwen received a call from Zhou Yu. After talking for a few words, Wang Hongwen hung up the phone with a happy face.
Seeing this, Li Jianping swallowed the egg fried rice in his mouth and asked at the right time, "Principal, it seems that Teacher Zhou has agreed to come?"
Wang Hongwen smiled and nodded, then leisurely picked up the white plastic bowl with half a bowl of porridge left in his hand, drank the porridge with pickles, and then said calmly, "Teacher Zhou just called and told me that he agreed to come to our No. 2 Middle School to teach."
"But he plans to come over later on for some details. We need to discuss it with him again!"
The main purpose of coming to Xiangcheng is to dig out and recruit Zhou Yu, an undiscovered gold. Now that Zhou Yu has spoken, it means that Wang Hongwen and Li Jianping’s goal of this trip has been basically achieved.
Now that the matter has been almost resolved, the stone in Wang Hongwen and Li Jianping's hearts naturally fell to the ground.
After hearing Wang Hongwen's answer, Li Jianping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Jianping put down the chopsticks in his hand and smiled happily at Wang Hongwen, "That's good, that's good! Now you can rest assured! With the help of Teacher Zhou, I believe that our No. 2 Middle School will definitely be promoted to a provincial key school!"
Wang Hongwen rolled his eyes at Li Jianping and said while peeling the boiled egg in his hand, "Did you invite Teacher Zhou to our No. 2 Middle School just to get our No. 2 Middle School promoted to a provincial key middle school?"
"What else? Isn't this our primary goal?"
"Isn't it basically a done deal for our No. 2 Middle School to be promoted to a provincial key school? It's just the finishing touch. If I invite Teacher Zhou to teach at our No. 2 Middle School just for the sake of being a provincial key school, is it worth it for me to spend so much energy and money?!"
Wang Hongwen held the peeled eggs in his hand and looked at Li Jianping with some regret, "Please ask Mr. Zhou, it's for the thousands of students in our No. 2 Middle School!"
"With Teacher Zhou here, our No. 2 Middle School will have dozens more students admitted to first- and second-tier universities every year! For every dozens more students admitted to first- and second-tier universities, there will be dozens fewer students who might have failed the entrance exam! This is the key point!"
"What about upgrading to a provincial key university or increasing the number of undergraduates who pass the entrance exam? Those are all incidental! We must understand the cause and effect relationship and never put the cart before the horse. Do you understand this?"
After saying that, Wang Hongwen didn't even look at Li Jianping, and quickly ate the white and tender egg in his hand in two bites, and drank the soy milk at hand.
"Why else would you say you are the principal and I am the vice-principal?" Li Jianping complimented cheerfully, "Your awareness is much better than mine!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Are you going to eat or not?" Wang Hongwen pointed at the remaining egg fried rice in Li Jianping's bowl. "If you want to eat, eat it quickly. After eating, we will go to see Teacher Zhou and go back to Ruxu after we finish our business!"
"Eat, eat, eat, we'll finish soon!" Li Jianping quickly picked up the bowl and chopsticks at hand.
"After you finish eating, go back to your room and grab your bag. Have you packed all your things? Are your letters of intent and everything else all there?"
"Yeah," Li Jianping nodded quickly after swallowing the last bite of rice, "They're all here, I'll get them right away!"
......
The meeting place was arranged in a teahouse next to the hotel.
When Wang Hongwen and Li Jianping arrived, Zhou Yu had already ordered a pot of tea and was drinking tea while waiting for Wang Hongwen and Li Jianping to arrive.
"Teacher Zhou, I didn't expect you to come so early?!"
As soon as Wang Hongwen saw Zhou Yu, he burst into great enthusiasm. He quickly walked forward and held Zhou Yu's hand, who had already stood up to greet them. "Oh, I thought Teacher Zhou should be at home by now, but I didn't expect that Teacher Zhou would be here before we live next door!"
Since I have already agreed to go to Ruxu No. 2 Middle School, the two people in front of me will naturally be my leaders in the future.
Zhou Yu easily adapted to his identity. Although he had been here for a while, he still pretended to be just here not long ago and smiled neither servilely nor arrogantly, "I just arrived too. Now I wake up on time in the morning and can't fall asleep. These are habits I developed when I was teaching. Even now that I am on vacation at home, I am not used to sleeping in."
Wang Hongwen asked Li Jianping and Zhou Yu to sit down together, and then he motioned for Li Jianping to take out the letter of intent that he had prepared long ago. "Teacher Zhou, although we have reached a preliminary consensus, we still need to follow the procedures."
As he spoke, Wang Hongwen handed the letter of intent handed over by Li Jianping to Zhou Yu.
After Zhou Yu took it, he read it carefully and found that the general content was what Wang Hongwen said at the dinner table last night, except that it was a little more specific.
"This is just a preliminary intention. The specific contract will be more detailed when you come to our No. 2 Middle School to complete the employment procedures at the end of August," Li Jianping added on behalf of Wang Hongwen. "We will definitely arrange your employment after you join the company. Other benefits such as housing, etc., are like sales. You need to achieve certain performance to get them."
"For example, if you start teaching in the first year of high school, and you have a class of 40 people, you must have 20 students in the top 100 in the school by the end of the semester, and you must have 10 students pass the first-tier universities and 20 students pass the second-tier universities in the college entrance examination. Only after you have completed these, these benefits will be implemented! Otherwise, it will be considered that you have not completed them, and the benefits will be reduced."
"Of course, what I just said is just an example. The specific conditions will be shown in the supplementary agreement. I believe that with your ability, it will not be too difficult."
While listening to what Li Jianping said, Zhou Yu nodded without comment, indicating that he approved of what Li Jianping said.
To be honest, in Zhou Yu's opinion, the benefits given by the other party are very sincere, even if it is a little difficult, it is understandable.
After all, the other party is not doing charity, and it is impossible for them to give you hundreds of thousands of dollars for no reason, right?
After Li Jianping finished speaking, Zhou Yukao paused for a moment, then looked at Wang Hongwen and said carefully, "Principal Wang, if, I mean if!"
"If I want to select 50 students from this year's senior year class to form a new senior year class for me in September, and I teach all 50 of them, then what you promised me, can you please confirm my girlfriend's position first?"
The system only requires 40 people, but Zhou Yu asked for 50 people, which clearly showed that he wanted more people so that there would be some room for error.
Wang Hongwen said after careful consideration, "Teacher Zhou, well, if it can be done, then we will definitely agree. But, how are you going to choose the 50 students? If you choose only the top students who can almost get into a first-class university, then wouldn't you be suspected of taking shortcuts?"
Zhou Yu nodded, "Principal, that's exactly what you said. I'll make a promise here. You can arrange for the school to choose the candidate, but I have only one requirement. The selected student must be willing to work hard! I don't care whether the grades are good or not!"
"As for the rest, you and the school can make your own arrangements. I won't argue with you!"
Wang Hongwen was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help but look at Li Jianping and exchanged glances with Li Jianping.
This young man is so confident? It seems I was right about him!
Afterwards, Wang Hongwen smiled even more brilliantly and treated Zhou Yu with a more enthusiastic attitude, "We don't need 50 people. As long as 40 people in a class meet the requirements you just mentioned, then you are done, Teacher Zhou!"
"If you really do what you said, Mr. Zhou, then I will make a promise here. Next year, we will provide you with all the benefits you promised us, including your spouse's employment."
"That's fine with me!" Zhou Yu smiled, "From now on, I'm a soldier under you, the principal."
"Haha! We're not going to be soldiers anymore, Teacher Zhou. Then we'll be comrades in the same trench from now on!" Wang Hongwen stood up and stretched out his hand to Zhou Yu. "I'll wait for you at school at the end of August!"
