Gold Medal Sweetheart

"Who is it?" Jin Taize interrupted her.

"Teacher Tang from the General Affairs Office," Principal Wang retracted his words, realizing there was no need to mention this person. "Although she taught politics before, her class wasn't good enough, so I asked her to go to the General Affairs Office to assist Director Zhang."

"The class isn't good?" Jin Taize's eyes were as sharp as a hawk. "Then when this teacher came to our school for an interview and a trial lecture, why did you let such a person join? If I remember correctly, Principal Wang has the final say on whether the interviewed teacher is hired."

This statement implied that she, as a principal, couldn't even handle the most basic talent selection, wasting all her years of teaching and management experience. Principal Wang's face suddenly paled.

"Although Feiyu Middle School is a school, don't forget that it is now affiliated with Shitian. This means that it is not only an educational entity but also a business. As a business, managers need to understand cost control and maximize the value of resources." Jin Taize closed the folder he had just handed over and threw it casually on the table.

Watching Jin Taize's actions, Wang Xiao swallowed nervously. She knew that the budget for renovating the campus was too high to be considered extravagant.

And now, as luck would have it, she's suggested the school hire another political science teacher, which will undoubtedly increase the school's expenses. She's simply walking into a trap.

"In the past, Director Zhang was the sole person in charge of the General Affairs Office, right?" Jin Taize asked.

Principal Wang nodded nervously, "Yes."

The personal grudge between his niece and Tang Xin was minor; protecting his own position was more important. President Jin might already be dissatisfied with her budget, and she couldn't let such a small matter prove that she didn't care about the school's expenses. Principal Wang then changed his tone and stated his position, "How about letting Teacher Tang take over Teacher Song's class first?"

"This is a good idea. It not only meets the staffing needs but also saves costs. Besides, according to Principal Wang, Teacher Tang is originally a political science teacher," Jin Taize thought for a moment. "I see Director Zhang is getting quite old. If the General Affairs Office needs help with something small, Director Zhang can contact Teacher Tang."

"Okay, so the salaries of lecturers should be higher than those of second-tier teachers. What standard is used to pay Teacher Tang's salary?"

"According to the teaching staff. However, as I just said, the General Affairs Office may need staff from time to time. In that case, we can give Teacher Tang a small subsidy based on the teaching standards."

Increasing one person's salary appropriately in this way is indeed more cost-effective than finding another teacher. It can also motivate Tang Xin and get rid of personal selfishness. This is indeed a quick and economical way.

Principal Wang agreed with the school's perspective. Although Mr. Jin was young and not from the education industry, after experiencing his in-person instruction, Principal Wang felt it was no surprise that Shi Tian was thriving under his management.

"Okay," Principal Wang nodded in agreement.

"As for whether the quality of Teacher Tang's classes is up to standard, the school leadership team still needs to follow up and evaluate them," Jin Taize added.

"Yes, yes, I'll take over the course first. Then I'll go to Mr. Tang's class with the Dean of Academic Affairs and other teachers from the same subject." Principal Wang leaned forward and pointed at the documents on the desk. "I want to ask the accountant to revise the budget."

With his eyebrows slightly raised, the man said slowly, "Okay."

As if granted amnesty, Wang Xiao smiled and picked up the documents, saying respectfully, "Boss Jin, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."

"Principal Wang." She had just taken two steps when the man's voice stopped her. She paused and turned back to see if he had any other instructions.

"Don't let irrelevant people into my office anymore," the man's voice was steady, yet it carried a sense of intimidation that made Wang Xiao's nerves tense. "No matter who it is, with me, you only get one chance."

Having spent half her life in leadership positions, how could Wang Xiao not realize that the criticism wasn't just directed at her, but also at Du Meijiao? So, she forced a smile and left in disgrace.
