Chapter 49: School Check-in System
The next day at work, Ruan Wan told Zhang Xue'er that there were instances of parents assigning student leaders in her class and advised her to pay attention to the children's emotions.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xue'er felt it was very wrong and would seriously affect the children's physical and mental health. However, re-electing would also be difficult, and questioning them one by one would be even worse. Wasn't this making things difficult for the teacher? These parents were really hard to deal with!
Unable to think of a solution herself, Zhang Xue'er thought of Zhong Yi, who always managed to cheer her up. Zhong Yi happened to be at Wang Yue's place at the moment. When the phone rang, Wang Yue gestured for him to answer it first.
Zhong Yi, being a bit mischievous, told Zhang Xue'er to tell the students that to cultivate their sense of responsibility for hygiene, every child must ensure the cleanliness of their surroundings.
Then, he added that the student leaders would need to take turns checking the hygiene before school in the morning and after school in the evening. He also told her to remind the students that they voted for her as a class leader because they liked her, and she shouldn't let them down.
Zhang Xue'er was confused. This would work?
Zhong Yi explained that the tutoring class usually started not long after school ended. If they had to check hygiene, they would be a few minutes late for the tutoring class. For parents who engaged in vote-buying, even these few minutes would be unacceptable.
Zhang Xue'er still felt something was off, but she couldn't think of any negative impact on the students. So, she decided to find an opportunity to announce it.
However, she didn't realize that normally, everyone was picked up by their parents right after school. But rushing to the school after work wasn't always precise, and the students would inevitably have to wait a few extra minutes. At that point, being late for the tutoring class would be more than just a few minutes.
Wang Yue listened to Zhong Yi's terrible idea. Not only did he not stop him, but he also maliciously created a check-in software. Students just needed to salute the camera at the classroom door to complete the check-in. This software could track when children were picked up and send notifications to their parents.
Therefore, while Zhong Yi was busy recruiting teachers for Teacher Zhong's Online School, he received Wang Yue's check-in software. After carefully reading the software's user manual, Zhong Yi thought to himself how cunning Wang Yue was, but he still sent the software to Zhang Xue'er.
Zhang Xue'er didn't dare to send it directly to the parents herself, so she informed the principal about the software. When the principal heard about this good thing, he quickly reviewed the instructions, installed the software, and tried it out. He even had a computer science student look at it, and they found no issues; in fact, they praised the software.
Upon hearing the situation, the principal didn't hesitate and implemented the student check-in system at Fengfan Middle School.
This put Tian Yulan in a dilemma. After her son became the vice class leader, his grandfather even happily held a banquet to celebrate, and it was quite a grand affair. She had also been quite proud of it for a long time.
However, the duties of the class leader had caused Yan Ziyou to be late several times. The gold medal teacher from Zexue had already given several feedback reports. Her child was already the last in the gold medal class, but he was always delaying the progress of other students. Starting today, the teacher would begin the class without waiting for Yan Ziyou.
Mi Tao had also been late for online classes a few times because of this class leader position. However, Zhong Yi was well aware of the situation. After class, he specifically let Mi Tao watch the recorded lessons and told her to ask questions anytime if she didn't understand, as he would respond quickly online. The clever Mi Tao understood the video lessons and rarely bothered Zhong Yi.
Yan Ziyou's situation was more troublesome. He had taken the spot in the class by displacing someone arranged by the gold medal teacher. He was treated fairly during class, but he left immediately after class. Yan Ziyou's problems couldn't be solved by finding a teacher.
As for those Olympiad math problems, even though they were elementary school problems, Tian Yulan and her husband couldn't solve some of them, and even if they could, they might not be able to teach Yan Ziyou. Every time she saw her son's confused expression after she had painstakingly explained for a long time, Tian Yulan's anger would flare up.
What made Tian Yulan even angrier was that in another exam, Yan Ziyou only scored 89 points. After all, he had spent too much time on Olympiad math, and his regular coursework for that unit had been neglected, leading to the decline in his grades.
However, these were not the main points. The main point was Xia Huanhuan's score, which was 97 points this time, and it was due to carelessness. Looking at the incorrect question, Xia Huanhuan sadly thought, If only I could retake the exam! This isn't my true score! Dad said if I get a perfect score, he'll get me a little rabbit, and Yuan Yuan and I can each have one.
Nan Jianlong had also been extremely troubled lately. The conflict between his biological daughter and stepdaughter, along with his wife's tearful complaints, forced him to issue another summons.
Like most parents, he told his daughter to be more accommodating. Nan Jianlong first spoke with Nan Li, but it only made Nan Li even angrier.
What troubled Nan Jianlong even more was that Yan Ziyou revealed that his maternal grandfather had arranged for him to join the gold medal class. This not only upset Nan Li but also Xia Huanhuan, as Yan Ziyou had taken her class leader position.
Nan Li took her daughter and son home, while Nan Jianlong was so angry that he fell ill. After falling ill, his biological daughter was not by his side, and his stepdaughter had also left. Only his recently married wife was there to take care of him.
Everyone had to pay the price for their actions. He and The Eldest Princess's family conditions were such that they could afford to hire a live-in nanny, so he didn't necessarily have to change wives. But the mistake had been made, and now he was being well taken care of. He was just worried that his biological daughter would no longer talk to him, and his grandson would also become distant.
The next day, while still sick, he went to find Nan Li. As he passed by Wang Yue's garden, he saw two adults and four children playing happily there. Although he was ill, he recognized Huan Huan and Chao Chao at a glance.
Wang Yue, who was playing soccer with the children with Xia Junshan, looked over as if sensing something and saw "Teacher Zhang," oh no, it was Nan Jianlong.
"Dean Nan, come sit for a while?" Wang Yue stopped and greeted Nan Jianlong.
Nan Jianlong recognized Wang Yue and knew he was a rising star in the institute. He was about to go over and sit down, but seeing Huan Huan and Chao Chao seemingly not noticing him, he hesitated. He was afraid of losing face in front of Wang Yue.
"No, I have something to discuss with Nan Li." Nan Jianlong shook his head and refused.
"Then Dad, Nan Li is at home. You can go over. I have to watch the two kids here!" Xia Junshan knew that some things could only be clarified between father and daughter and took the opportunity to give the old man an easy way out. "I'm watching Huan Huan and Chao Chao play here."
Nan Jianlong looked back at Huan Huan and Chao Chao with every step, feeling a bit desolate, and his pace became even more unsteady.
"The old man seems to be in trouble. If he had added, 'You stand here, I'll go buy you some oranges,' it would have enhanced the atmosphere even more!" Wang Yue said with a sigh, watching Nan Jianlong's unsteady back.
"If you omit the second half, you'll seem more human!" Xia Junshan was speechless. Was this the time for jokes?
"I'm just reminding you, you want to be filial but your parents are gone. Parents are role models for their children!" Wang Yue glanced meaningfully at Xia Junshan.
"You're right!" Xia Junshan understood Wang Yue's meaning. No matter how bad the relationship with his father-in-law was, he could still see him often. But his mother was alone in their hometown.
