Looking at the travel-worn Yan Liang in front of him, Liang Liang suddenly felt an urge to laugh.
The guy's beard was like a tangled clump of grass; he wouldn't be surprised if a rabbit crawled out of it.
Although the clothes I was wearing weren't tattered, they looked like they hadn't been washed in a long time, and they had a faint smell.
It's only because Yan Liang is naturally clean; if it were someone a little slovenly, the smell of their clothes would probably be unbearable.
"Hey Liang-ge! Couldn't you shave your beard before coming here? People who don't know better would think I'm a beggar!"
"No time to shave! I came straight here after I got off the plane. Tell me! Is there anything I can do for you? From now on, I'll be yours for all the time!"
"What nonsense! You weigh over 100 pounds, are you good-looking or not? Can't I even eat you? What use are you to me?"
Why did this guy come here with such a show? Is he here to repay a debt of gratitude?
"I'm not planning to go out again now that I'm back. Find me a job, and I'll work for you from now on."
Liang Liang scratched his head: "Really not leaving?"
"I'm not leaving! I've seen through the outside world; no matter how good it is outside, it's not as good as home. I can't pay back the money you owe me, so I'll just have to work for you to make up for it from now on."
"I didn't ask you to pay back that money."
"No way! You want me to owe you a favor for the rest of my life? Absolutely not!"
"You can work for me, but you're not allowed to mention the money. Lü Yueli is a bad person. I told her not to tell you, so why did she turn around and sell me out?"
"Okay! I won't mention the money anymore. I'll definitely pay you back when I'm able to."
"Thirty thousand yuan is nothing, but you've come back just in time. Come with me!"
Liang Liang, carrying Yan Liang, arrived at the main gate of Haiyun Music School on the back street.
"See this courtyard? Tomorrow, Lianwan City's first private music school will be established here. There will be more than 30 classes with over 1,500 students and dozens of teachers studying and working here. But right now, we're short of someone in charge. Don't talk to me about objective conditions, just tell me if you can do it or not?"
Yan Liang was a little confused. They've already opened a school? Liang Liang meant for him to be the principal.
Is he cut out for this? He's never worked in education before!
"Three minutes are up. Now, please give your answer!"
"Although I've never done this before, I believe I can do it well!"
Liang Liang snapped his fingers: "Great! I like dealing with straightforward people. Now I'll give you a detailed explanation of this school! But I'll give you half an hour to tidy up your hair and beard. Don't let my students think you're a bandit."
Yan Liang turned and left without saying a word, returning cleanly and efficiently half an hour later.
Not only did he cut his hair short and shave his face, but he also bought a pair of shorts and a short-sleeved shirt. Although he didn't look like the principal, he was at least much neater than before. He didn't know where the clothes he used to wear had been thrown away.
He was supposed to take a shower, but half an hour was too short and there wasn't enough time, so he had to postpone it until the evening.
Liang Liang spent about an hour explaining the ins and outs of Haiyun Music Academy in detail.
Yan Liang remained silent for five minutes, then said to Liang Liang, "Don't worry! I will definitely manage this school well." After saying that, he turned to leave.
"You're going to start working without even discussing payment?"
"It's fine whether I give it to you or not!"
"What nonsense are you spouting? You're a supervisor, your monthly salary is 800 yuan with pension insurance paid on your behalf, and you get a year-end bonus. Alright! You can leave now!"
Yan Liang left in a hurry to go home and take a shower.
Liang Liang stared expressionlessly at Yan Liang's retreating figure.
Logically speaking, Yan Liang's best place to showcase his talents is in managing dance halls, since that's what he used to do.
Letting him manage the music school now is really a bit of a mismatch.
At 8:58 a.m. on July 15th, Haiyun Music School held its opening ceremony.
A rainbow archway stood at the school gate, and a red carpet was laid out. Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Liang Liang, Mu Shuihua, and Yan Liang cut the ribbon.
When the music school opened, Liang Liang didn't inform anyone else except the people at the dance hall.
Therefore, the opening ceremony consisted of only these people, and then students who came from all directions.
The main street was too narrow to fit a stage, so a stage was built in the schoolyard.
After the opening ceremony, about a dozen bands performed on this temporary stage.
The 1,500-plus students packed the stage to capacity, watching the band members' performance with envy.
The students ranged in age from eleven or twelve to eighteen or nineteen.
The band's performance today mainly focused on playing instruments, primarily to showcase the technical skill level of those who would become their teachers to the students.
Even if they don't understand it, they can still enjoy watching the spectacle.
Because of the hot weather, the performance ended around 10:30.
The registered students had already been assigned to classes in advance, and they only needed to take their assigned number to their respective classrooms.
There wasn't much time left at 11 o'clock. After finding their classrooms and seats for their subjects, the students went home for lunch and then attended classes again in the afternoon.
The first day of school is always a bit chaotic, and that's when Yan Liang's work ethic really shines. Although he didn't know any of the staff except for Liang Liang and Han Chui, it didn't stop him from organizing all the school's affairs in an orderly manner.
Because I had no experience in this industry, I had no way of making any predictions.
Basically, we discover a problem and then temporarily solve it.
Yan Liang handled all these problems very well.
Liang Liang was very satisfied with Yan Liang's performance.
Because guitar students are the most numerous, there are thirteen guitar classes, with fifty students per class, while drum classes, which have the fewest students, only have four classes.
This has led to a shortage of guitar teachers while there is a surplus of drum teachers.
Those who can play other instruments can take on other classes, while those who can only play drums can only watch helplessly.
Although Liang Liang offered a low salary, 700 yuan was still much higher than the average salary in the north, and it was enough to make ends meet.
Therefore, very few musicians choose not to take on professorships.
Yan Liang gathered together twelve drummers who only knew how to play the drums.
With twelve drummers teaching four classes, they can only take turns performing.
Of course, the wages earned were much less, but there was nothing that could be done about it; with more wolves than meat, you could only share the spoils.
These drummers complained that when these people form bands in the future, there won't be a drummer to watch how they play.
The musicians varied greatly in skill level; those who were too bad were eliminated and could only watch others earn money by teaching.
