Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

But Yang Jianguo is all too familiar with the art of refusing people.

Director Lou wasn't the first person to come to him seeking connections, hoping he would take on apprentices.

He wouldn't be the last one... He knew that better than anyone.

However, Lou Xiao'e, a rich young lady, is the first of her kind.

It was just a joke; Yang Jianguo didn't have time to spend with her.

Moreover, he has no plans to take on any more apprentices for the time being.

With these two apprentices, once they graduate, the mission will be accomplished.

He has a lot of apprentices, but they're all just half-baked.

This has caused immense harm!

Now that he had taken on a disciple, Yang Jianguo had to be responsible for him and for his own reputation.

The apprentices he trains must be highly skilled and capable of standing on their own.

Either don't accept them, or if you do, you have to teach them well.

Hearing him say this, Yingzi also looked on in agreement.

But she was still curious: "How did Director Lou's daughter end up contacting you?"

Yang Jianguo said, "I think I heard it from someone. By the way, I did see it once before at the vegetable market."

When I told her about my encounter with Lou Xiao'e, Yingzi didn't seem to think anything of it.

It's just a brief encounter, it shouldn't be that big of a deal, right?

But when she looked at her own man again, she saw his increasingly composed, ruggedly handsome face.

'Sigh~' she sighed wearily.

The man I love is too outstanding, which can be quite a headache.

"Jianguo, are you home?"

Outside, Old Man Yan arrived carrying a bag of red-skinned pastries.

This old man has come to ask Yang Jianguo for favors.

Hongxing No. 2 Primary School and Hongxing No. 1 Middle School have officially started classes.

Today, both schools have become employee schools under the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

The teaching staff, its size, salaries, and management will undergo a comprehensive and thorough overhaul.

The treatment is naturally different as well.

If word gets out, he works as a teacher in a primary or secondary school affiliated with the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

They always have a lot of face in front of others.

Of course, that wasn't what Old Man Yan came for.

He originally attended Hongxing Elementary School, so he has that kind of prestige.

The key difference is in the treatment of the Red Primary School and the Second Primary School; there's a huge disparity!

There seems to be no difference between the two, but the admission requirements and standards of the two primary schools are different.

The requirements are much higher than those for Red.

Like Hongxiao, anyone who is an employee can attend.

But the Second Primary School is different; it not only accepts the children of employees, but also enrolls students from outside the school.

That's alright, they're all children of the people, we can't treat them differently.

The key is its entrance exam, even if it only asks some simple questions and arithmetic.

Treat it as a rule, set a standard, and establish it as the admission standard.

At this time, it's also quite remarkable!

Judging from Yan Laokou's keen insight and experience, the Second Primary School will definitely receive more attention than the Red Primary School in the future.

The students, teachers, and support they receive are all vastly different now.

Therefore, teaching at the Second Primary School would naturally offer a better future.

He also wanted to work at the Second Primary School, just like Ran Qiuye.

"Go work at the Second Primary School?"

Yang Jianguo glanced at him and said, "That's fine too. With your qualifications, Uncle Yi, you'll definitely be given priority."

"Was your application rejected?" Yang Jianguo asked curiously.

It shouldn’t be!

The school is currently facing a shortage of staff, not to mention other aspects.

Yan Laokou's qualifications and abilities were not outstanding in school, but they were above average.

How could he possibly fail to get approval?

Old Yan gave him a wry smile and stammered, "Well, I didn't submit an application."

"No application was submitted?" That's strange.

You said you wanted to apply for a job transfer, but you didn't submit an application.

Is this someone waiting for you to beg them to come to their door?

"No, Jianguo, you have to understand the situation here."

Old Yan explained to him that he had a reason for not submitting an application.

The principal of Hongxiao Primary School had always treated him well.

Now, due to the needs of the Second Primary School, a group of excellent and solid teachers have already left.

Old Yan was too embarrassed to tell him that he also wanted to be transferred at this time.

He was thinking about whether Erxiao could directly ask Hongxiao for people and take him away.

Actually, there was another reason why Yan Laokou didn't mention it.

That is, he didn't want people to think that he was also a profit-driven person.

Seeing that the second-tier school has good benefits and high salaries, they want to switch jobs.

Completely disregarding the current students' feelings for Hongxiao Primary School and their dedication over the years.

To put it bluntly, he wanted to have an affair but didn't want to get into trouble.

Yan Bugui wanted all the benefits from both sides.

He still harbored a bit of vanity, wishing that Erxiao could get it for him.

When it comes to the other teachers, they all transferred there on their own initiative.

It's him, Yan Bugui.

That was the person Erxiao personally asked Hongxiao for.

What does this mean?!

This shows that Yan Bugui was important and valued, and his educational level was evident to all.

That's why Erxiao specifically asked him to come over.

Hey ~

That sounds so prestigious!

After hearing what Yan Laokou meant, Yang Jianguo laughed and said, "Uncle Yi, I can't help you with this."

"Don't tell me I don't have that much power. Even if I did, going to the principal would have to be discussed with him."

"The Second Elementary School and the Red Elementary School are at the same level, but the Second Elementary School will have a higher salary. This is entirely based on practical considerations."

"The Second Primary School has only just been established and lacks everything."

"Whether it was honors or bad things in the past, everything should be overturned and we should start over."

"If you're starting from scratch, how can you attract talent if you don't have some advantages?"

"So, do you think that even if someone actually went to the principal and asked him to release the person, would he be able to?"

Yan Bugui was dumbfounded when he heard this.

So, the Second Elementary School and the Red Elementary School are at the same level, not a superior leadership unit?

Well, the rumors circulating outside are quite detailed and convincing.

He actually believed it!

Hey, these guys are something else.

"Well... Jianguo, can you think of a solution?"

Despite facing reality, Yan Laokou was still unwilling to give up the opportunity.

The salary for the two young men was based on their length of service.

The salary can increase by seven or eight yuan per month, which adds up to more than ninety yuan per year.

It's almost a hundred yuan.

Ten years is a thousand, enough to buy a lot of rice, flour, and oil, or enough for several meals of pure meat dumplings.

No, no.

We have to find a way to get myself into the Second Elementary School.

"Uncle Yi".

Yang Jianguo also told him the truth, "If you want to be transferred, you need to submit an application."

"I can tell someone that as long as they meet the standards, they will be given priority in admission."

"But you want me to order the principal of Renhong Primary School to release them directly?"

"I don't have that much power or prestige. You should find someone else."

Yang Jianguo brought him that thing forward and placed it right in front of him again.

Old Man Yan was in a dilemma, and hurriedly said, "Jianguo, um, can you help me out?"

"No, Uncle Yi."

Yang Jianguo chuckled and said, "You want both profit and fame? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

"I really can't help with this. Please go back and think about it again. If you need anything else, please come back."

Yang Jianguo glanced back, then got up and went to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) to pick up the child.

"Honey, our daughter seems hungry."

"Hey, you're here." Yingzi, who had been dawdling at the stove, came in.

Seeing that the man was about to breastfeed, Yan Bugui, whose intentions had been exposed by Yang Jianguo, was too ashamed to remain seated.

If he didn't have any sense, Yang Jianguo would have just chased him away.

"Jianguo, Yingzi, I'm going back now." Old Man Yan carried his things back home.

"Uncle Yi, please take care," Yingzi replied with a smile.

A man is her man, and she is herself.

You have to treat the relationships in this neighborhood like family; otherwise, they'll all end up in a mess sooner or later.

After leaving the house, he turned back and knocked, then looked across the street.

"Sigh~" Shaking his head and letting out a heavy sigh, Old Man Yan went back into his house.

As soon as she entered, seeing what he was carrying, Auntie Yi knew it hadn't worked out.

"You were rejected?"

Aunt Yi wasn't surprised at all; she knew Yang Jianguo's personality very well.
