Chapter 52. Teacher Qu goes all out
When the principal of No. 3 Middle School saw that all those blocking the door were senior teachers, he was shocked and thought that something had happened in the senior class.

I was fooled for a moment.

He quickly asked everyone to go into the office and sit down, and asked the reason without even pouring water.

Teacher Qu explained the matter.

Only then did I realize that I had found a gourmet restaurant with excellent quality that could solve the problem of loss of appetite caused by excessive stress before the college entrance examination.

The principal heaved a long sigh of relief and took out a stack of paper cups from under the coffee table so that everyone could pour themselves some water if they wanted.

Then he rubbed his forehead, smacked his lips, and asked doubtfully, "Is it really effective? That's unscientific."

Teacher Qu was prepared for this question and gave Zhang Yue a wink.

Teacher Zhang Yue, who was sitting obediently at the back, stood up and replied in a serious tone, "Hello, principal. We have conducted three experiments on Friday, Sunday, and today at noon. We asked different students to try the dishes, and the results are very obvious."

First present the results and tell the principal that it has been verified and found to be really effective, not just a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Then look for scientific evidence.

I asked a new friend about the scientific basis yesterday.

Su Jing graduated from a nursing school and married a doctor. Although she doesn't know how to treat psychological problems, she can still talk about basic concepts.

"Principal, the senior students in our school are not suffering from physiological problems. They are not suffering from functional indigestion or cholecystitis. It is also not a side effect of medication. It is simply a loss of appetite caused by excessive psychological pressure."

"As we all know, loss of appetite can lead to nutritional problems, health problems, and most importantly, energy problems for students. In severe cases, it can even lead to mania and neurasthenia. Even if it is not serious, it is likely to cause mental imbalance. These problems will affect students' test scores."

"To relieve excessive psychological stress, one can use empathy and displacement to adjust. For example, one can do exercise, listen to soothing music, travel, etc."

"Another way is to use greater stimulation to divert attention and temporarily forget the stress. This is what we want to do."

"For example, everyone has times when they feel uncomfortable and don't want to eat, but if they come across something that suits their taste, they will still try it."

"It's the same principle. The taste of this gourmet food is so good that we unconsciously focus all our attention on the desire for food and forget about stress temporarily. We only need to temporarily let the children eat properly, get nutrition, and let them complete the college entrance examination in good health. Then our goal will be achieved."

These words were reasonable, well-founded and targeted. In addition, Master Wang also talked about the fine dishes he cooked at noon today and the results of the students' attempts.

The principal was really moved after hearing this.

However, he still wanted to beat around the bush, because what he was talking about was a gourmet dish, which sounded very expensive.

"Aren't there other ways? Can we organize students to do more exercise? Or listen to music?"

As soon as he said this, Teacher Qu's eyebrows raised.

He said sarcastically, "You're a senior in high school. You're only a month and a half away from the college entrance exam. Why are you still exercising? Why are you still listening to music? Are you still planning a trip? Your physical education and music classes have been suspended for a year, and your evening self-study classes are all occupied by reviewing papers. How many sets of questions can you practice with that much time?"

"Uh..." The principal was speechless for a moment.

Logically speaking, there are some points in Mr. Qu's words that are worth discussing.

But this is senior year of high school, this is the college entrance examination, a matter of a lifetime, at this point everything must give way to the college entrance examination.

The principal politely waved his hand at Teacher Qu and asked Zhang Yue, "Teacher Zhang, right? How much does your husband's friend plan to sell the fine dishes you just mentioned?"

"Well, I called him and he said we can talk about it, depending on the quantity and how long it will take, because we have the college entrance examination in June and we have summer vacation in July, so it's hard to say whether it will be long or short, and whether it will be stable. By the way, he gave us 6 yuan per kilogram, regardless of the variety."

The problem with the supply to the school canteen is the winter and summer vacations. There will be interruptions and it is unstable.

So after receiving Zhang Yue's call, Luo Yihang didn't say anything serious, but planned to chat first.

After listening to Zhang Yue's introduction, especially the price, the principal concluded, "In other words, 15 is a friendly price, and the specific amount will be negotiated separately, right?"

Zhang Yue nodded. The principal frowned and turned to Teacher Qu, "There is no precedent for school cafeterias to buy expensive dishes. It is also difficult for the Education Bureau to approve this amount of money... You see, how about we think of other ways?"

Teacher Qu's face was filled with gloom.

He waved his hand and asked the other teachers and Zhang Yue to leave first, and even Master Wang was politely asked to leave.

Everyone stood outside the door and watched the principal's office door close.

Then I heard a bang inside.

Teacher Qu slammed the table in front of the principal!
Then Teacher Qu questioned the principal in such a loud voice that it could be heard through the door.

"Students' grades are affected by insufficient nutrition! Insufficient nutrition and lack of energy also affect grades. Poor health also affects grades! Principal, please wake up!"

"Think of a way, what else can you do!"

"It's only a month and a half. Come up with another solution for me to hear!"

Then there was another bang.

"Is the admission rate more important or is money more important?"

"We are a public school, all the money will be spent on students, and we won't give you any points!"

"Don't use the grant as an excuse. The junior high school is a public welfare type, and we can't get the money because we rely on grants. But now we are talking about the public welfare type II for senior high school, senior high school, and non-compulsory education. It is a difference grant. You have flexibility. Don't think I don't know!"

"I'll talk to the Education Bureau when they come and ask them to send someone to supervise and conduct spot checks. It's not corruption, so what are you afraid of?"

"For so many years, you don't know that the closer it gets to the college entrance examination, the more pressure the children feel. Every year, there are students who perform poorly because of this. Our school should take good care of the logistics and let the children study peacefully. In the college entrance examination, maybe they can get a few more key points or a few more first-class places. Isn't that more important than that little bit of money?"

"No. 1 Middle School always outshines us every year. Don't you want to surpass them once? Every time the Education Bureau holds a meeting, people from No. 1 Middle School give reports. They show off at the top, and you have the nerve to just watch from below?"

Teacher Qu was at full speed, and the principal had to listen obediently.

As the only two special-grade teachers in the school, and the only one still teaching on the front line, this is the kind of status he deserves.

……

after a while.

The office door opens.

Teacher Qu walked out with his head held high and chest puffed out, waving the note in his hand.

"The principal agreed and wrote a note asking Vice Principal Fang to contact them first and then go to inspect them as soon as possible. If they are suitable, we will sign the contract."

The teachers in the senior grade group were overjoyed and surrounded Teacher Qu to praise him.

It was Teacher Qu who was capable enough to ask Vice Principal Fang to come forward with the intention of making the deal.

Vice Principal Fang is the leader in charge of administration and logistics at No. 3 Middle School. He has great authority and is qualified to bid money on the spot.

If he takes action, the matter will be settled as long as the other party does not ask for an exorbitant amount of money or falsify the quality of the product.

Master Wang also volunteered, "I'll go and take a look too. Teachers, don't worry."

　It’s great to be recommended.

　　More than 300 collections were added in one day, which means that the collections on this day were more than the previous 20 days combined.
