Chapter 255 Number One

Li Yan didn't know that his actions, which were done naturally, caused Principal Tan Li to hold a special team meeting the next day.

It's just a small internal meeting.

Several vice principals and the dean of studies sat around the desk in Tan Li's office without even making tea.

Normally, when a group of leaders come into the principal's office, the teachers in the teaching building know that they are discussing something very important - things that are decided in formal meetings are all based on procedures, and this kind of small meeting is the time to really discuss and make the final decision.

But why was Guo Qiwen able to get in?
This became the number one gossip topic in the teaching group today.

This was the first time that Guo Qiwen participated in such a "small meeting". As for why he was qualified, he could only say that it was thanks to Li Yan.

The more Tan Li thought about what happened last night, the more he felt something was wrong. He thought that ever since the cultural performance and the exchanges with people like Wang Peihua and Yang Chengzhang, he had given Li Yan enough attention and freedom. Seeing this kid growing faster and faster and gradually breaking out of the framework of a junior high school student, he was looking forward to Li Yan bringing glory to New Taipei No. 1 High School.

Unexpectedly, a dangerous signal came.

"Qiwen, has Li Yan sent out any signals recently?"

Guo Qiwen shook his head. "He didn't come to class. I really don't understand."

I don’t understand… Tan Li stroked his chin, “Is it possible that this child thinks we let him go?”

Guo Qiwen’s inner thoughts: Isn’t it?
"Free range is a privilege," said a white-haired vice-president who had always disliked Li Yan's eccentricity. "Isn't that enough?"

"I didn't give him any resources." Tan Li pondered. "Qiwen, you said he showed you a lot of award certificates for essays, but there wasn't one about the instructor, right?"

"Yes, but you can't blame him. It's also because I didn't mention it."

"No..." Tan Li suddenly clapped his hands, "Oh, that's the problem. Lao He, Lao Zhang, Principal Zhao, Director Guo, we are not proactive enough. We should let him go. He can go to a place with better conditions."

"Old Tan," said the white-haired principal Zhang, curling his lips, "New Taipei First High School's conditions are not good. I don't think there is any other place that can be considered good."

"In terms of status, we are the highest, but this child doesn't need school status, he wants resources and a platform."

“Is the platform of Xinbei No. 1 Middle School not enough?”

Tan Li also showed a dissatisfied expression, "He is Yang Chengzhang's disciple and Su Siqing's pen pal. Director Wang even invited him to his home for dinner. You, old man, are at a big loss by treating him as a junior high school student! Now I heard that the album is about to be completed. This matter is also very valuable. Do you think others are not eyeing it covetously? Do you know how many meetings Rongxi and the experimental team have held in private to try to poach Li Yan?"

"Just dig it up. With the foundation of New Taipei No. 1 High School, why should I be afraid of this?" The old man was very stubborn.

"You are old and confused!" Tan Li refused to give any face. "Xinbei may not need him to improve its status, but we cannot let other schools have him! And we cannot change his ownership midway! No matter whether this child takes the junior high school entrance exam or not, or where he goes to high school, he must finish his junior high school here!"

There was silence.

Tan Li sighed and calmed down. "Qiwen, you have a good relationship with him, so find out more about his ideas. I will talk to Director Wang about the resources and see if we can further strive for them. Everyone, listen carefully, don't try to take advantage of this kid, he is very sensitive, and don't talk to him about gratitude."

"Thank you?" Principal Zhao didn't understand.

"You can ask Director Guo. He talked to the principal of Li Yan's elementary school. He was choked when he said a few words of gratitude when he went home during the winter vacation..."

Everyone smiled bitterly.

"Li Yan, does she still hold a grudge?" Principal Zhao suddenly said, "She took this opportunity."

"It's not that he was given the opportunity, but that Fatty Zheng brought it to us on his own initiative." Tan Li took a sip of water.

"Here at the Teaching Department..." Director Guo rubbed his hands, "There was a misunderstanding at the beginning of the school year. Liu Weiliang from the Supervision Department had some unpleasantness with him."

"Don't tell me, just solve it yourselves." Tan Li waved his hand. "Old Zhang, if you don't want to hear it, go out. Qiwen, remember what I told you to do. Go out first, and let the others talk to you. How can we make Li Yan feel that we value him?"

Guo Qiwen opened the door for Principal Zhang. After Principal Zhang walked out for a while, he quickly went downstairs.

The old man, who was about to retire, had a very bad temper and he didn't want to ignite a powder keg.

As for Li Yan... Guo Qiwen shook his head as he walked downstairs. He should think carefully about how he, as "Li Yan's Chinese teacher", should deal with all the reporters after Li Yan becomes famous after participating in the award ceremony...

The meeting in the principal's office did not last long, because Principal Tan thought about it and found that Li Yan did not seem to be interested in what the school could provide. He was even more furious when he heard Director Guo say something like "make him the president of the Student Union".

Finally realizing that others had no clear understanding of Li Yan's value, Tan Li dejectedly disbanded the team meeting.

Then I called Wang Peihua, and after exchanging pleasantries, I got straight to the point:
"Director Wang, Li Yan is about to enter the second year of junior high school..." "Hua Da Junior Class, right?" Wang Peihua on the phone responded quickly, sounding very busy. "I'm also working on this matter. We may not be able to wait for his high school entrance examination results, Old Tan."

"Oh?" Tan Li raised his eyebrows.

"They are very proactive." Wang Peihua laughed. "I took the initiative to contact the provincial government and said I wanted to recommend them, but they laughed at me."

"Already?"

"Yes, Huada has been paying attention to me for a long time." Wang Peihua laughed, "They also gave me some information."

This tone... Tan Li walked directly to the corner, avoiding the doors and windows - actually there was no need for that.

"I can't give you this level, but after all, you are his principal, so I will say a little bit."

Tan Li concentrated his attention.

"Hua Da has a list of candidates for inspection. Different from the previous junior classes, this one is an experimental operation and a training program for geniuses."

"Is Li Yan in there?"

"Look, the vision is low." Wang Peihua paused for a long time, and Principal Tan was so anxious that he wanted to stamp his feet. "There are several children on the focus list. How special the final mechanism of this Huada Junior Class will be depends on their performance in the next six months."

"Li Yan... is inside?"

"It's number one."

Tan Li was sweating profusely, and for a moment he even had the urge to pull back the team members and give them a severe scolding.

"So, Mr. Tan," Wang Peihua's tone became very serious, "I have to make a few requests to you."

"You tell me."

"Although you know about this, you must keep it strictly confidential. Don't try to be clever and try to embellish Li Yan. The people who are working on the Genius Project are highly ranked and capable, so don't let our little cleverness show up."

"clear."

Tan Li was not nervous. With the level of contact Li Yan was currently in, how could he still be able to operate the gold plating...

"Do whatever you can to keep this child. Even if you can't keep him, you must keep him in New Taipei."

"definitely."

Tan Li was indeed nervous about this matter.

That’s not right. The purpose of calling was to ease this anxiety and find a way to give me leverage. Why am I even more nervous now?
"Director Wang, I called you today because I wanted to discuss what other resources we can give him. If we want to keep him, we also need bargaining chips."

"Think about it yourself. Just make him feel comfortable at New Taipei First High School. I have a meeting here, so I'll hang up now."

beep-

Principal Tan felt very upset.

In fact, he was indeed worrying too much.

Li Yan doesn't care what New Taipei First High School thinks of him. His resources are not currently based on the platform of New Taipei First High School, and that's all the junior high school can give him.

Today, the most valuable thing about New Taipei No. 1 High School to him is its reputation.

The students of New Taipei No. 1 High School are the best students in the best junior high school in the province.

Before revealing other identities, this title can save you a lot of trouble.

The effect is not the same if I change to New Taipei Experimental School. Although New Taipei Experimental School has new facilities and money, can the laboratory be as good as that provided by Chuangzu? Can the scholarship be as good as ten Dabuluo for one painting?
People's joys and sorrows are not the same. Principal Tan was in his office worrying about Li Yan's dissatisfaction with the school.

Li Yan was sitting in the dormitory, enjoying the fan, eating beef sticks and writing a novel.

He is finishing up the second climax of "Nangong Boy".
