Chapter 267 Seeking advice from Captain Huo
Not daring to delay, Hezhou rode his bike straight to the affiliated primary school, fearing that he would not be able to meet Li Mingxia after school.
Rushing to the principal's office, the first thing he said when he saw Li Mingxia was: "Old Li, you've caused trouble again!"
Li Mingxia was puzzled: "I haven't scolded anyone for nearly a month. What could I have done?"
"Didn't a comrade come to you yesterday to seek cooperation, saying he wanted to promote a "Sensory Integration Ability Training Method without Equipment" in the affiliated primary school, but you turned him down?"
Li Mingxia frowned and said, "Are you here to be a lobbyist? You are quick with news!"
"It's not that I have fast news, but the higher-ups asked me to inquire about the situation to see what concerns you have for not cooperating." He Zhou said earnestly, "Well, I won't say anything about your bad temper, but this time is different, that comrade..."
After a pause, He Zhou asked tentatively: "You know, right?"
Li Mingxia is just a teacher. He was appointed as the principal a few days ago. He may not know some news. He has to be careful to avoid saying too much and making mistakes.
"Don't be so cautious! I know what you are talking about. I signed a confidentiality agreement, and I heard it, too." Li Mingxia said unhappily, and then sighed, "Speaking of which, I still owe her a favor."
"What favor?" Hezhou asked.
Li Mingxia didn't hide anything: "Her system found out that I would be retaliated against in two days... She is kind-hearted, so she wrote a letter to the police this morning. They informed me that the person who planned to retaliate against me has been controlled, and my granddaughter will be safe."
Hezhou had a headache: "That's a life-saving favor, why don't you cooperate with them?"
Li Mingxia shook his head and said stubbornly: "Of course I have my reasons! No matter how much the country values her, I will never use students as experimental subjects!"
"How could it be an experiment?"
"How can it not be an experiment? Letting students crawl around on the ground, walking on a single-plank bridge, rolling their eyes, and massaging their bodies can improve their moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor qualities? This is a joke! Besides, the parents of our affiliated primary school all value education, and it is impossible for them to spend so much time on such things!"
Hezhou: "But now the higher-ups have said..."
"No matter who comes, I don't agree!" Li Mingxia waved his hands and said impatiently, "I know what you think and what you consider, but I will never allow you to delay the future of my students!"
Hezhou: “…”
He and Li Mingxia have known each other for many years. They can't be considered very good friends, but they can be considered acquaintances.
But this acquaintance has remained as stubborn as ever for the past ten years.
It's just a stubborn donkey!
He kept persuading him, but Li Mingxia was a man of steel and would rather break than bend. When he was forced to change his mind, he glared and said he would resign and quit his job.
Hezhou was furious, but he could only give up: "Okay, okay, I'm leaving, I'm leaving, okay!"
Li Mingxia shouted: "Wait!"
Hezhou was delighted and turned around quickly: "Have you changed your mind?"
"What did you change your mind about? I will never change my mind in my lifetime! This is the book left by the little girl. It's all nonsense. If you like it, take it! It's best to place it on the incense table and burn three sticks of incense a day. I guarantee that your descendants will benefit greatly from it!"
Li Mingxia said in a gloomy tone, and threw the "Equipment-free Training Method for Sensory Integration Ability" left by Su Lingyu to Hezhou: "You are such a person, you have no bottom line in doing things just for the official hat on your head! Go away, get out!"
The book fell to the ground, and Hezhou was so angry that he almost had a heart attack!
He pointed at Li Mingxia and said, "I did it for the official hat on my head?! Okay, Li Mingxia, you are noble and have integrity! You want me to read a book, right? I will read it when I get home, all night long!"
Hezhou picked up the book from the ground, dusted it off carefully, and turned away.
Although he was angry, he knew Li Mingxia's bad temper and had no intention of convincing him in one go.
Holding the book in his hand, he comforted himself in his heart: At least it wasn't a wasted trip, I picked up a book and went home.
As soon as he got home, Hezhou called his wife: "Mei Qing, make me a cup of tea. I have something to do tonight and need to read for a few hours in the study."
An intellectual and beautiful woman wearing an apron walked out of the kitchen and said with a gentle voice and a smile, "Go to the study and get busy. I'll bring you tea later."
He Zhou immediately said, "Thank you, ma'am, for your hard work!"
Mei Qing couldn't help laughing: "You just know you're poor!"
Hezhou walked into the study and took the book that Li Mingxia threw to him from his briefcase. He read for several hours until ten o'clock in the evening.
I'm getting old and I can't bear it anymore.
He closed the book and pounded his aching waist wearily, but he still had no idea how to convince Li Mingxia and his headache was terrible.
I heard that Comrade Xiao Su's lover is at the military primary school, and that Commander Huo went there to negotiate, and he also asked the commander and political commissar of the 52nd Division to come along. Why don't we go to Commander Huo for advice?
Thinking of this, Hezhou became more spirited.
…
The next day, early in the morning.
Hezhou rushed to the southern suburbs military camp and waited at the gate of the camp for more than half an hour before Huo Yan showed up.
As soon as he saw Huo Yan, he felt like he had seen a savior. He strode forward and held Huo Yan's hand: "Captain Huo, you must help me."
Huo Yan asked: "You are..."
He Zhou said quickly: "My last name is He Zhou, and I am the director of the Municipal Education Bureau. I came here this time to learn from you..."
After listening to Hezhou's purpose, Huo Yan understood.
He gestured: "Let's go to my office to discuss the details. This way, please."
Hezhou immediately said: "Okay, okay!"
On the way to the office, an idea gradually took shape in Huo Yan's mind.
The two of them walked to the office and sat down. While he was making tea for He Zhou, he said, "Director He, my experience is not worth referring to when it comes to how to persuade Principal Li."
"The reason why I was able to convince Principal He was mainly because the project led by my wife was indeed desirable, and Principal He was willing to accept new knowledge and had a spirit of reform."
"My wife ran into a wall with Principal Li mainly because he was conservative and unwilling to take risks with his students' future."
"He acted selflessly and for the sake of his students. But it is very difficult to change the mind of a stubborn person."
Hezhou was helpless.
This too.
Li Mingxia is like a stone in a toilet, smelly and hard.
But to be honest, he is really sincere to his students, and he himself cannot reach the level of Li Mingxia.
Just when Hezhou thought he would return empty-handed today, Huo Yan suddenly changed the subject: "But, I have an idea, do you want to hear it?"
Hezhou nodded immediately: "You go ahead!"
