Chapter 202: Chapter 203: Nationwide Uproar
Hann Training Class, the entrance was already crowded with reporters.
Big Fatty Li arrived at the scene in a battered van. The reporters didn’t regard him as the person in charge of the Hann Training Class—instead, they thought he was there to deliver goods.
Big Fatty Li squeezed through the crowd. The situation was indeed a bit intimidating.
After making his way through the crowd, Big Fatty Li entered the office. The two staff mbers there were still facing interviews from the reporters, their hearts were shattered, but they had to maintain a composed deanor.
“Big brother, you’re here?” one of them suddenly sparkled with stars in his eyes, as if seeing a savior.
“This is our person in charge of the Hann Training Class,” another staff mber quickly shouted.
Whoosh…
The reporters outside quickly squeezed in. Everyone surrounded Big Fatty Li.
“Hello, are you the mysterious lecturer?”
“How do you feel about the students’ college entrance examination results this ti?”
The reporters surged forward.
Big Fatty Li quickly waved his hand, and the scene imdiately quieted down. He appeared calm and unruffled, with absolutely no sign of pressure—as if he was born to stand under the spotlight. He grinned and then said, “Comrades of the press, today I will answer two questions for you. First, I am not that mysterious lecturer, I am just responsible for the hardware facilities, teacher staff salaries, and financial tasks at the Hann Training Class. Second, I cannot reveal where the mysterious lecturer is right now; however, I can tell you that in three days, he will deliver his first lecture at First Middle School in LJ City. By then, you will get the answers you seek. Also, let give you a tip in secret, you must attend the event, otherwise, you will regret it for life.”
Having said that, Big Fatty Li turned and walked away.
“Can you give us more information?”
“Can you tell us the real identity of the mysterious lecturer?”
Many reporters chased after him. However, Big Fatty Li ran too fast; the mont he left, he dove into his car and drove off rapidly.
Although the reporters couldn’t catch up with Big Fatty Li, they had already gleaned plenty of news from him. They quickly started drafting news releases right outside the Hann Training Class. Soon, major online dia, including NetEase News, Sohu News, Tianya Forum, and many other well-known dia outlets prominently featured a news article: “In three days, the mysterious lecturer will make an appearance at First Middle School in LJ City.”
Instantly, the entire nation was stunned.
What kind of person could move the hearts of the entire nation? In a country where education is prioritized, teaching is the most respected profession. Yet, in LJ City, there was a formidable teacher who had significantly improved the scores of one hundred seventy-five students.
As the dia dug deeper, a blockbuster news piece was soon released. It was said that one month before the college entrance exam, the mysterious lecturer had recruited one hundred students with average grades. Their grades generally ranged between four hundred and five hundred points. In the end, among these students, eleven enrolled in first-tier universities, and thirty-seven in second-tier ones.
The average grades of the entire class increased by forty to fifty points. The best performing student, a girl, had only four hundred thirty-plus points when she joined the Hann Training Class but scored over five hundred forty points in the college entrance exam. She not only t but exceeded the first-tier university threshold by more than ten points. Her family wept together when they received her score report.
In the end, the girl’s parents brought a banner and five thousand yuan as a thank you to the Hann Training Class office.
The news caused a national uproar.
From a score of four hundred thirty points, rely a qualification for a polytechnic, she leaped to four hundred fifty points, exceeding the first-tier cutoff by more than ten points. Let alone a month, many students might not achieve such an improvent even in a year.
However, the Hann Training Class made it possible, and so did the mysterious lecturer. Therefore, the nation was extrely curious about what kind of lecturer he was.
LJ City Television Station.
The reporters all returned unsuccessful.
“How is it, did you find that mysterious lecturer?” the station director was extrely anxious. He wanted to get the scoop because this would undoubtedly boost the ratings of LJ City Television, and he believed many stations would co looking to buy broadcasting rights.
“No!” the female reporter shook her head and said, “But, the person in charge of the Hann Training Class said that in three days, that mysterious lecturer will appear at First Middle School in LJ City. Not sure if it’s true!”
“Appear?” the director asked doubtfully.
“Yes, it seems he will be giving a lecture,” the female reporter nodded.
“No, we must find him during these three days,” the director said anxiously, “If we wait until three days later, we’ll lose our advantage. We didn’t interview the top scorer of the college entrance exam, now we only have this mysterious lecturer to turn the tide.”
“But where do we even start looking?” the female reporter said, sowhat disheartened.
“We have the advantage of being local,” the Director said, slapping the table. “No matter what, we absolutely cannot let the reporters from other stations find this mysterious lecturer first.”
“We…” a group of reporters were at a loss.
“Alright. I will go and see Principal Li Hengzhong of LJ City First Middle School,” the Director said, having a mont of inspiration. “Li Hengzhong has been a spokesperson for Hann, so I guess he must have so connection with that mysterious lecturer, maybe he could reveal so information.”
“Sounds good,” everyone nodded in agreent.
Director Li imdiately got up and left.
LJ City First Middle School was still handling wave after wave of dia visits. At the school’s main gate, a sign was placed reading: dia friends, please proceed to the multidia classroom.
It was straightforward: reporters were to go directly to the multidia classroom for interviews, where not only the internet was available, but also computers. There were even teachers assigned to conduct specialized explanations on the spot. All the information about Xiao Han was almost entirely available in the multidia classroom for reporters to access.
The popularity of the top scholar in the college entrance exam quickly waned, mainly because Xiao Han continued to stay out of the public eye and the in-depth investigations of the Hann Training Class by reporters swiftly shifted public focus. The attention of the masses moved from the top scholar to the mysterious lecturer of the Hann Training Class.
At that mont, a Volkswagen Tiguan drove up to the gate.
The security guard glanced at it, and as the driver’s side window rolled down, Director Li leaned out and shouted, “I am the Director of the television station.”
“Oh, it’s Director Li,” the security guard hurriedly nodded and said, “I’ll open the gate right now.”
After saying that, the security guard imdiately opened the gate. Director Li drove into the campus.
At that ti, Principal Li Hengzhong was in a eting in his office. With Xiao Han’s speech three days later bound to attract a large dia presence, Principal Li had gathered all the staff, instructing them to be on duty in three days without fail; no one was permitted to leave, else their pay would be docked.
Despite their discontent, the school’s reputation and the reputation of every teacher were at stake, causing every teacher to reluctantly follow orders. During the eting, Principal Li Hengzhong and the staff discussed then decided to ask the police for help to maintain order on campus in three days. After all, nobody knew how many people or how many dia reporters would co then.
However, the eting had not yet ended when Principal Li Hengzhong’s phone rang imdiately.
The caller was Deputy Director Zhang of the Provincial Committee Education Departnt, who said over the phone, “Xiao Li, it’s good news.”
“What other good news?” Principal Li Hengzhong asked, surprised.
“After deliberations by the Provincial Committee Education Departnt, this year your LJ City First Middle School has been nad our province’s model teaching base,” Deputy Director Zhang said excitedly. “It’s a great honor. You must cherish it and strive to maintain it.”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Principal Li Hengzhong nodded hurriedly.
“Additionally, I’ve just received word that reporters from Central Television will be visiting your school in three days,” Deputy Director Zhang said cheerfully. “This is an opportunity to exhibit your school’s culture and discipline to the entire country, also a fantastic opportunity, so make sure you give a good welco to the comrades from CCTV.”
“Rest assured, Deputy Director Zhang, I will take good care of them,” Principal Li Hengzhong nodded imdiately.
“That’s great,” Deputy Director Zhang nodded.
Just as he hung up the phone, the assistant rushed in and said, “Principal Li, Director Li from the television station is here to see you.”
“Him?” Principal Li Hengzhong paused and curiously asked, “What’s he here for?””
“I don’t know!” The assistant quickly shook his head, then said, “He’s waiting in your office.”
“Okay,” Principal Li Hengzhong nodded, then said, “I’ll be right there.”
After the assistant left, Principal Li Hengzhong turned to everyone and said, “Starting tomorrow, the whole school will prepare for the event. I will personally contact the police station. Let them send officers to help us maintain order. To accommodate the crowd, we will set up in the athletic field, where our school’s field can hold tens of thousands of people. Let’s hire a conference planning company to help us arrange the venue. Sound systems, chairs… have them prepared. Alright, eting adjourned.”
After the eting, Principal Li Hengzhong left the eting room.
In the office, Director Li was sitting in a chair smoking, his expression troubled, his mind racing to find ways to get close to Principal Li Hengzhong. As soon as Principal Li Hengzhong pushed the door and entered, Director Li imdiately stood up, almost lunging at him.
“Hengzhong, you have to help , you really must help ,” Director Li urgently said.
