Chapter 307: Chapter 305 Education is About Human Relationships

Director Zhang’s grip on Chang Ming was not strong.

This action carried a hint of "struggle," a contest for control of the current situation.

However, in the face of this "struggle,"

Chang Ming didn’t resist at all. His expression slackened immediately, and this change in demeanor and emotion seemed somewhat practiced.

As if habitually, he instantly admitted defeat in the "struggle."

He followed the tug and let Director Zhang guide his direction, but still said, "Those two expert teachers are indeed very professional."

"How professional can they be?" Director Zhang countered.

Chang Ming did not answer Director Zhang’s question, as it was not one that required an answer.

He already understood the other party’s meaning.

Vice Principal Ma ran ahead to lead the way for the two, while the teaching director quietly fell behind and made a phone call.

...

For this kind of sudden inspection from the higher-ups, the school’s management has a set of fixed responses.

The most common is dealing with the Education Bureau’s inspection of weekend classes, including but not limited to: advance notice, student evasion drills, temporary suspension of classes, temporary classroom changes, etc.

Faced with such a conversation now, there is similarly a way to cope.

If the conversational target is clear, a training-like script can be prepared.

If the target is unknown, one could delay to get through the conversation this time; once the target is clear, by the second visit, there would be experience.

Of course, to achieve this, cooperation is necessary.

Education is not just about scores and college admissions, but also human relations.

...

Jiang Yizhong is really big, as Vice Principal Ma and Director Zhang walked and chatted intermittently, by the time they reached the playground, the last student had just finished training and left the field.

Next to the playground is another office building, dedicated to providing offices for the physical education teachers.

At this moment, the PE teachers inside seemed ready to pack up and get off work.

"Principal Ma, and these two are..."

As Vice Principal Ma entered, the oldest-looking PE teacher greeted them with a surprised expression, then quickly instructed other PE teachers to tidy up a small conference room.

"Xiao Wang, come here for a second." Vice Principal Ma said to one of the female teachers, "These two directors want to learn about Li Mingchen’s situation from you."

"Everyone else continues with your tasks!"

With that, Vice Principal Ma turned to introduce to Chang Ming and the others:

"At this time, students have finished training, and teachers are almost off work and about to leave."

"Our school’s sports students are usually assigned to fixed PE teachers once their individual projects are determined—Li Mingchen is under Teacher Wang’s care."

So a "coach" is actually a "PE teacher."

A fixed teacher acts as a coach, responsible for specific students, specializing in enhancing performance, which is beneficial in terms of sports projects.

The coach can gain a deeper understanding of the students’ physical conditions, making it easier to identify weak points and craft specialized training plans.

"This is an advanced sports teaching philosophy that our research team was sent to the American school to learn!"

"Since then, the focus rate of our sports students has climbed significantly, with remarkable results," Vice Principal Ma said confidently.

Chang Ming responded to Vice Principal Ma’s advanced teaching philosophy with a standard social expression.

He made a phone call, said a few words, and then turned to Director Zhang, "I’ve informed those two expert teachers, they seem to be processing some data analysis for the students, they’ll likely arrive in about ten minutes..."

Director Zhang said, "Then let’s start quickly, the sooner we start, the sooner we finish."

He looked like he was in a hurry, as if something significant awaited him back at the unit.

At the same time, he stifled what Chang Ming was going to say next, waving to Vice Principal Ma to bring in Li Mingchen’s coach.

"You’re Teacher Wang, right." Director Zhang’s tone was somewhat stiff, adopting a businesslike attitude even though Teacher Wang was a rare female PE teacher.

This demeanor actually allowed the slightly tense Vice Principal Ma to breathe a sigh of relief.

"We should have had colleagues come to learn about Li Mingchen from you before, he’s your student, correct?"

Coach Wang nodded.

"Alright, about his situation..."

"..."

Time passed minute by minute.

Chang Ming did not speak, frequently checking his watch.

Coach Wang maintained a strained expression, answering meticulously.

Vice Principal Ma began to smile.

Finally.

"That’s all for today." Director Zhang, holding a form filled completely with an unusually large font and text gap, said.

As he spoke, he turned back, "Old Chang, shall we head back?"

Chang Ming did not respond.

"I’ll see you two out." Vice Principal Ma immediately stood up, turning back to call out to Coach Wang, "Xiao Wang, you can leave for the day; you’re not needed here anymore."

Coach Wang swiftly dashed out.

Through the door she exited, one could see that the other PE teachers in the office area had long gone, leaving it empty.

After her silhouette completely disappeared from view, Vice Principal Ma fully relaxed.

He understood that this conversation was over for now. It couldn’t possibly be fully covered up, but with this preparation, there would be experience for next time.

Director Zhang once again looked at Chang Ming, "Old Chang?"

"... Old Zhang, let me see your report," Chang Ming suddenly said.

This was naturally not an unreasonable request.

Chang Ming took Director Zhang’s report, quickly glanced through it, and pointed out a problem: "This report requires signatures from all participants."

Director Zhang justifiably said, "Can’t you just sign it?"

Chang Ming shook his head, "Those two expert teachers also need to sign—this is a leadership requirement."

"You should have mentioned this earlier!" Director Zhang didn’t expect that something always running smoothly would have trouble at the end; he genuinely seemed eager to conclude this matter quickly, "Never mind... are your two expert teachers coming soon? If not, we can find them to sign as well..."

Chang Ming shook his head, "But they didn’t participate in this conversation, and signing means taking responsibility for the content of the conversation. What if they refuse to sign?"

"... Signatures shouldn’t be this complicated!"

Director Zhang paid no heed to Vice Principal Ma’s opinion, "So what do we do? Call the coach back and have another discussion?"

Yet, at this moment, Chang Ming displayed an unusual stubbornness: "Principal Ma, perhaps I wasn’t clear earlier, which led to a slight oversight in the work—could you call Teacher Wang back?"

Principal Ma’s expression turned a bit stiff, but he still made an effort to show a troubled expression, "I just told Teacher Wang she was off work, but I’ll call her. She should be able to return..."

...

Nan Zhubin and Chonghui were looking at the playground with some curiosity.

"Did the sports students finish training early today... huh?"

Nan Zhubin watched the female teacher hastily running out from the playground.

Observing her expression, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then, he decisively adjusted his expression, smiling as he approached for a conversation: "Hello~"
