Over the next seven years, Li Xiangdong traveled to Yingxiu Town in Wenchuan County several times and built a sheep farm there.
The sheep farm raises Wenchuan bronze sheep, which are mainly produced in the Xuankou and Yingxiu areas of Wenchuan County.
The Wenchuan copper sheep's fur is reddish-copper in color, with two light yellow stripes of fur on either side of the nose that run from the top of the head to the tip of the nose. A dark brown stripe of fur runs down the front of the neck and intersects with the dark brown stripe of fur running from the back to the tail in a cross shape.
The Wenchuan bronze sheep has excellent leather, uniform pores, beautiful patterns, and elastic hides, making it one of the main livestock products exported from the area.
Li Xiangdong's purpose in raising sheep here is clearly not what it seems.
He was thinking that many elderly people who don't use the internet wouldn't know the content of the post.
Moreover, even if they knew, they wouldn't give up their work because of such rumors.
Therefore, Li Xiangdong wanted to use his position as the boss to force them to leave at a crucial moment.
Chunyi Yong Winery is in western Sichuan, and the sheep farm is in Wenchuan. When Li Xiangdong was traveling back and forth, he unintentionally passed through An County.
Once, he and Zhou Hongsong got tired from driving, so they stopped in Anxian County to eat something.
They ate local specialties from Anxian County—Huagai beef, Sichuan jujube peel, and Anxian konjac.
It was hot at the time, so Li Xiangdong and Zhou Hongsong didn't go inside but sat down at a small table outside the shop.
The restaurant staff brought out bowls of food, and Li Xiangdong and Zhou Hongsong had just picked up their chopsticks to eat.
A commotion suddenly broke out at the school across the street!
A piercing bell rang, and thousands of students ran out of the teaching building in an orderly fashion and gathered in the square.
A dense crowd of people.
Li Xiangdong and Zhou Hongsong were bewildered and unsure of what had happened.
Just then, the shop owner brought over two bowls of tofu pudding. Before Li Xiangdong could ask, he pouted and muttered discontentedly, "That irresponsible principal is at it again~"
Zhou Hongsong listened curiously, "What kind of principal is neglecting his duties?"
It was still before lunchtime, and there weren't many customers, so the shop owner sat down and told the two of them in detail about the various misdeeds of the principal, whom he called "not doing his job properly."
"The Sangzao Middle School across the street, the principal is Old Ye. Old Ye used to be a very good person, strict with academics. My younger sister took the entrance exam at Sangzao Middle School and got the top score in the whole county!"
The shop owner was very proud when talking about his eldest daughter.
"Isn't that a good thing? Why are you saying he's not doing his proper job?"
Isn't the principal's job to focus on learning?
"That's exactly right! If only he had stayed this way!" The shop owner slapped his thigh. "The problem is that starting two years ago, he went crazy for some reason. Instead of focusing on his studies, he put all his energy into emergency evacuation drills and building new buildings!"
From the shop owner's description, Principal Ye's deeds gradually became clear.
Principal Ye's real name is Ye Zhiping. He is 54 years old, short, and chubby.
Two years ago, for some unknown reason, Principal Ye suddenly started messing with the dilapidated buildings on campus after waking up from a nap.
He first spent money to remove the original, impractical, and heavy brick railings of the laboratory building and replace them with lightweight, beautiful, and sturdy steel pipe railings.
Next, he re-filled the cement in the 22 load-bearing columns of the entire laboratory building with cement, according to the standard requirements, and thickened them to more than 50 centimeters.
He measured each pillar by hand, and the diameter of each pillar was increased by 15 centimeters; not even a millimeter less would be acceptable.
It is said that this experimental teaching building only cost 170,000 yuan to build, but now Principal Ye has spent more than 400,000 yuan on various reinforcements!
"This Principal Ye is quite wealthy!"
The shop owner gave a wry smile, "What?! He spent ten thousand yuan at a time haggling with the Education Bureau! Now the people at the Education Bureau dread seeing him! He wastes all his time on this and has no time to focus on teaching!"
What's even more interesting is that Principal Ye frequently conducts evacuation drills for more than 3,000 teachers and students, and safety education is just a regular occurrence.
Moreover, he requires that not only all teachers and students, but also all staff members of the school, participate in safety education and evacuation drills.
For example, the head chefs and cleaning ladies in the cafeteria had just finished their lunch work and were about to take a nap when Principal Ye started the evacuation drill.
"Goodness gracious! I just fell asleep and you woke me up like that! Who can stand that?!"
The shop owner and the head chef of the canteen are good friends, and I've heard him complain quite a bit.
According to the shop owner, Principal Ye even designed an escape route.
He planned escape routes for each class based on the number of teachers and students in each teaching building.
Then, an order was given that each class had to conduct safety evacuation drills along this route time and time again.
Especially recently, we've been practicing it almost every day.
Many parents expressed dissatisfaction with Principal Ye's arrangement.
They felt this was negatively impacting the children's learning.
In particular, some parents of students who are about to take the high school entrance exam have a short temper and have filed a complaint against Principal Ye with the Education Bureau on the grounds that it is delaying their children's studies.
"That's weird... there might be something wrong with his head!"
The shop owner ultimately characterized Principal Ye's behavior.
"Hey, stop chatting! Come on in and get to work!"
The proprietress greeted the shop owner from inside the house.
The shop owner quickly replied, "Coming! Coming! What's all the noise about!"
Li Xiangdong's heart was filled with turbulent emotions.
He felt that Principal Ye Zhiping must know something.
