Chapter 172 The fate of many people may change
"Let's go find Principal Lin and Director Cai." Chen Wenjing said as he walked towards Li Yan.

No, what is this, two pieces of bread with cheese?
So he dodged lightly, nimbly and barely noticeably.

Are you serious about taking half a step back?
Chen Wenjing was stunned at first, then showed an expression that said, "He is a teenage boy after all."

Li Yan walked slowly, trying to stand side by side with Lin Zhiyuan.

But Lin Zhiyuan always managed to keep one step behind him.

"Come up here?"

"I don't dare!"

"What's the matter? This is also your alma mater."

“I feel like this place will soon be renamed Li Yan Primary School.”

The two chattered quietly in the back.

After a while, they arrived at the teaching department, but Lin Zhiyuan still had an inexplicable fear of the teaching department.

"I haven't criticized you, so why are you afraid?"

Lin Zhiyuan still gritted his teeth and sat down with Li Yan opposite the two primary school leaders.

It can be said that the leadership is quite capable. Director Cai mentioned Lin Zhiyuan right away and asked him how he was doing at New Taipei Experimental Middle School.

Everyone was a little surprised to learn that Xiaopang could rank in the top 400 out of 1,000 people.

"This score can't compare with Yan...Li Yan." Lin Zhiyuan had never been praised before, so he showed his shyness.

"That's definitely incomparable." Principal Lin laughed and clapped his hands. "Li Yan is a kid that no one in the entire Lin City can compare to."

"Judging from the current results, I'm afraid even Xinbei and Linjiang can't compare to us."

After Director Cai finished speaking, the two middle-aged men burst into exaggerated laughter.

Li Yan was shocked and felt dizzy.

"Li Yan, I am really grateful to you for taking my position." Principal Lin said.

This is quite straightforward...

"Look at our Yucai Primary School, it has been renovated so much, and you have made a great contribution." Director Cai praised.

"The way you were admitted to New Taipei First High School was so amazing that it quickly spread throughout the entire education circle of Lincheng," Chen Wenjing explained. "Yucai also became popular. Under the promotion of Director Wang, it was renovated during the summer vacation."

"The most important reason why Director Wang was able to secure funding is this," Qiu Runlin still had a strong desire to perform, as if giving a speech, "Yucai can also cultivate talents like you."

"Even the entire city of Lin has begun to upgrade and renovate various old primary schools under the impetus of the renovation of Yucai." Director Cai showed a deep expression and said with emotion, "The benefits of this generation will benefit future generations. This wave of renovation is a great thing for the education of the entire city of Lin, and it is also a blessing for the children."

It was rare to see Director Cai, who is usually very popular, express such deep emotion. The three teachers all nodded sincerely.

But Li Yan didn't feel anything. This was what the Lincheng Education Bureau should do.

If you want to get fruit, you have to plant and cultivate it well first. How can we wait for Li Yan to prove that the tree can bear fruit before we cultivate it?

It is wrong to expect small branches to bear great fruit.

If Li Yan had not been born, would Lincheng’s education be in darkness forever?

"Li Yan, after your fame spread, the overall level of the freshmen our school received this year has improved. Those who were usually registered here have all moved to the next door, and those who really can't get in have come to us. Now some of them have taken the initiative to choose to come to Yucai." Principal Lin gently touched the hairless head, "Now your grades in Xinbei have also started to spread in Lincheng. As long as our source of students is good, Yucai will not be afraid of Experimental School or South City."

"Yes, our teaching staff is obviously very strong." Director Cai also said excitedly.

Li Yan observed the awkward and stiff smiles of the three teachers, and felt that it was quite common to show off for others.

"At the opening ceremony of this semester, I gave a speech using you as an example. The eyes of the children in the audience lit up." Principal Lin was actually a little emotional when he said this. "At the end-of-term summary meeting held last week, the teachers had more than one reaction. There were a few children in the class who were a little talented but unwilling to study seriously. They started to study hard this semester. There was also a group of typical poor students who made a fuss every day. No matter how we taught them before, it was useless. I heard that He Han and his group in your class had good grades in the first semester of the first grade, and they have changed a bit."

"Li Yan," Principal Lin took Li Yan's hand and patted it gently, "This is the power of role models. Yucai Primary School nurtured you, and it was Lincheng and Yucai that gave you a platform to show yourself. You must remember this kindness."

I don't like to hear this.

If we have to say what Yucai did for him, it was to secure an opportunity for him to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad.

The key point is that he later ranked among the top few in the provincial exam, but didn’t he get a chance to compete in the national competition?

Anyone can qualify for other competitions, but Li Yan fought hard for them. And the bad thing is, in the end, the Mathematical Olympiad did not bring any benefits to Li Yan. Didn't he still get into New Taipei First High School by taking the sports route because he ranked first in the city in badminton?
Speaking of this... Li Yan smiled sternly:
"Speaking of which, Principal Lin, did you know that people who are not registered in New Taipei City can take the entrance exam for New Taipei First High School by using connections?"

Principal Lin's hand holding Li Yan froze, and all the emotions that had just been released were instantly retracted.

"And... this matter?"

"Yes, I met a few friends from Lincheng at New Taipei First High School. They said that it is easy for non-local residents to register for the entrance exam to New Taipei First High School, but the hard part is getting in."

The teaching department suddenly fell silent, which made the sound of Lin Zhiyuan drinking tea seem very loud.

Li Yan did not stop speaking, "For me, passing the exam is not difficult, but leaving Lincheng is difficult."

Are you sweating profusely, leaders and teachers?
Only two days later, the news that Li Yan scored 759 was reached by Director Wang to Principal Lin's ears. Could it be that he didn't even have any connections to apply for the exam?
To think of the worst, it is unclear whether Lin Cheng was unable to participate in the national mathematics competition that year because he tried hard but failed, or because he took the opportunity as a favor.

But it doesn’t matter… Li Yan was too lazy to mention these things. It was a happy thing to come back and see that his alma mater had become better because of his grades. The fate of many people might have changed because of this.

But don’t play the thankfulness game, Lao Deng!

Since you still say it, don't blame me for treating you sincerely.

You sincerely feel that I should be grateful, and I sincerely doubt the difficulty of registration. Sincerity is exchanged for sincerity.

"Ahem," Principal Lin retracted his hand, otherwise Li Yan would have noticed the sweat on his palm. "So that's the case. We really didn't think about it at the time. We should have asked for you. We were biased, or our thinking was not divergent enough."

"It's okay, it's all in the past." Li Yan said with a smile, "I hope that in the future, I can continue to contribute to Yucai with this bargaining chip, and bless my fellow junior brothers and sisters."

"What's the bargaining chip?" Principal Lin laughed dryly. "Li Yan, how is life in New Taipei?"

Changing the subject, that's good.

After talking about this and that for a while, the two leaders and teachers, even Lin Zhiyuan, were all shocked by the standard of dormitory 403.

The teachers kept sighing that "big cities are big cities", and the leaders said with a sad face that "Lincheng education still has a long way to go", and Lin Zhiyuan was concentrating on comparing the level of the strongest group of people he knew in Experimental Middle School with Li Yan's dormitory.

Of course, the focus of their shock was all on Li Yan.

Although Li Yan had hidden a lot of things, the extracurricular content was not mentioned at all.

For Lin Cheng, Li Yan is still too advanced.

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, it was time for Li Yan and Xiaopang to go back home to see their respective mothers.

Chen Wenjing walked me all the way to the alley entrance, and before she left, she reminded me, "I'll ask Zhang Ming to organize a class reunion in a few days. The Chinese New Year is early this year, so we should have some time before the New Year to get together. You must come."

Before Li Yan could say anything, Chen Wenjing leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Zhang Ming was indeed a bad person before, but he has indeed changed now. When he came back to Yucai during the National Day holiday, he was still ashamed that he had treated you as an enemy. He was really stupid."

"It's pretty stupid."

"Don't worry about it..."

Li Yan wouldn't care. In two years, he would probably even forget who Zhang Ming was.

No, the system memory has 53 points. It seems that Zhang Ming will have to stay fresh in his mind for a while.

"I don't care." Li Yan smiled. "Teacher, you should consider whether Zhang Ming cares or not. Don't let me hide in a corner out of embarrassment when I see you."

Lin Zhiyuan couldn't help laughing out loud.

After saying goodbye to Chen Wenjing, the two of them didn't even ride their bikes, but pushed them and walked slowly.

"Mr. Yan, we were still going home from school like this half a year ago, and now we are both in New Taipei City."

Li Yan did not respond.

Lin Zhiyuan, who was still sighing, turned around and saw that Li Yan was actually looking at her cell phone.

"What a treasure! Young Master Yan actually has a day when he checks his phone messages on the road."

In fact, Li Yan missed a missed call, and when she clicked it, she found a text message.

From Li Xinyuan, the content is very simple:
"Want some time to relax?"
