Chapter 375 Establishing the School
"I heard about it too." Bai Yuan said.
She had also heard about this matter.
The director of the Haiqi Municipal Public Security Bureau and the deputy mayor of Haiqi City is a friend of her father. He specifically mentioned this matter. Although it is not a big deal, we must also strengthen our awareness of safety precautions.
For this reason, Bai Yuan's parents came back to see her one after another, mainly to strengthen security measures around the villa.
Bai Yuan's father even suggested sending a team of guards to take her to and from school.
It's simply because she usually has the habit of bringing entourage and bodyguards with her. She has a professional team following her for almost ten years, so they have enough manpower and a serious excess of force.
Not to mention teaching a few ruffians and small-time thugs who came from nowhere a lesson, even if they encounter extremely vicious criminals and desperadoes, they can be easily taken down through close cooperation.
If the guard came over again at this time, it would be a waste of talent, so he took the initiative to decline.
No matter what, it’s better to be prepared.
It is always good to be prepared and vigilant at all times.
"You too, please be careful recently." Bai Yuan said, "Bring your bodyguards with you when you go out to play, don't think it's too much trouble."
Seeing Pei Jin's nonchalant expression, Bai Yuan continued to remind him, "Of course, it's best to go home early during this period, and don't stay up too late when you go out with friends at night. It's not too late to make an appointment after things have calmed down."
Pei Jin clarified: "I didn't go out with my friends!"
He has been practicing the piano at home during this period and has not been to a performance for a long time.
Bai Yuan naturally didn't believe it. "If you hadn't slept all morning and didn't look up, I would have believed it."
Pei Jin: “…”
Pei Jin coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, and said with a wandering gaze, "Believe it or not, anyway, you will know it later..."
Bai Yuan was not interested in his private life, nor did she want to know the reason why he was so inattentive in class all day. Anyway, he just slept alone and did not disturb others. His grades did not show any signs of decline. That was enough.
So, he just said, "Okay, just keep it in mind."
I know!
Of course I know!
He knows exactly what's going on!
Pei Jin, who naturally knew what he was talking about, smiled mysteriously and couldn't help feeling a little proud. He was looking forward to the day when things came to fruition and Bai Yuan's expression when she was amazed by him.
After that, Pei Jin still came here every day to wait for Bai Yuan to go home together. While waiting, he was bored and locked his eyes on Jiang Ling from all angles. He proved with practical actions the value of the words "I will always keep an eye on you", and almost gave Jiang Ling, the unfortunate child, PTSD.
However, although Pei Jin was watching people, he also took Bai Yuan's instructions to heart and did not really make any threatening moves towards Jiang Ling. This was a blessing in disguise.
As time went by, Jiang Ling gradually figured out the pattern. From the initial feeling of being on edge, he had become desensitized to the point where he could, under Pei Jin's death gaze, say what he needed to say as quickly as possible without changing his expression, and then leave Bai Yuan's side.
Before the danger around the school was resolved, Pei Jin sent Bai Yuan home every day, and this continued until the eve of the school anniversary.
The Ministry of Education and the police station investigated, set up guards, and sent out the necessary personnel, but they still couldn't get to the bottom of the matter. Fortunately, there are so many things happening in Haiqi every day that people's attention is easily distracted by other things. After a while, no one will pay attention to this matter anymore.
So, the police cars on duty near the school disappeared quietly one day, and everything returned to its former peace.
Time flies and it is the day of Hailan Private High School’s anniversary.
The procedures for school anniversaries are similar. Students are gathered in the auditorium and the school leaders give an important speech reviewing the school's history and looking forward to its future development.
As the student union president, Bai Yuan naturally also had a speaking session. After his brief speech, he did not return to the audience seats, but went behind the scenes to supervise and coordinate various processes to prevent accidents.
It's equivalent to field control.
Hailan Private High School was established not long ago, just thirty years ago, but when it comes to the history of the school, people still talk endlessly. It seems as if they can talk for three days and three nights without stopping.
The school’s 30th anniversary celebration was naturally attended by all the school directors, who sat in a row on the stage, including Pei’s mother.
Pei Jin had no interest in listening to his own mother talking in the audience, so he sneaked backstage when no one was paying attention.
When he found Bai Yuan, the principal was talking about the reasons for the establishment of the school. An impassioned voice rang out over the speakers, and a series of "committed to" passed through the front desk and reached Pei Jin's ears clearly.
"This old man is quite good at making up stories." Pei Jin laughed at first, then said to Bai Yuan, "It's all nonsense. Do you know how this school came about in the first place?"
The school anniversary celebration has just started, the work is not cumbersome, and Bai Yuan is relatively free.
She still remembered that this school was opened by the Pei family. Since Pei Jin singled it out, the reasons must be unusual. There must be some hidden story, probably some old melon.
Bai Yuan listened carefully to the principal's speech. Seeing that there was still some time before it was finished, he asked Pei Jin, "How did it come about?"
"This school is specially opened for my uncle." Pei Jin did not keep Bai Yuan in suspense and said straight to the point:
"My uncle didn't study hard back then, so my family bought this school so that he could go to school, and also hired the best teacher in Haiqi to teach him..."
Pei Jin stopped talking halfway and looked up at Bai Yuan. His pair of blue peach blossom eyes seemed to be able to speak, as if waiting for Bai Yuan to guess and ask about the follow-up.
Bai Yuan indulged his childish behavior, but asked casually:
"Later, your uncle turned around and not only did his grades improve, but he also got into the best university?"
Hearing Bai Yuan's guess, Pei Jin couldn't help but laugh out loud: "How could that be? My uncle was able to have fun, and it didn't affect him at all. On the contrary, other students' grades improved rapidly under the guidance of famous teachers. At that time, there was no division between arts and sciences, and the only number one scholar in Haiqi City came from our school!"
Pei Jin shook his head and spoke clearly about gossip, "At that time, in order to let my uncle study well, my grandfather specially picked the shabbyest school in Haiqi to buy it. But my uncle thought the school was too shabby, so he simply didn't go to school. He turned around and found a substitute with similar height and appearance. The two of them worked well together, and no one noticed during the three years of high school."
Bai Yuan:......
"Later, our school produced a top scorer, and other students also did well in the exams. More than 20 of the top 100 students on the overall list were from our school, making it the dark horse with strong momentum that year."
More than 20 people...
Bai Yuan thought.
According to the ratio of schools in Haiqi City, one-fifth of the students come from this unknown and shabby little high school. This is more than just a good result in the exam. This is to the extent that the principal's ancestors' graves are smoking and he would have to kneel down and kowtow to Pei Jin's grandfather when he sees him.
Pei Jin: "Later, many people in the circle heard about this and thought that the teachers in this school taught well, so they all sent their children to study in this school. They also spent money to build and renovate the building. When the college entrance examination results came out the following year, they took the top five in the overall list. After that, everyone sent their children to this school, and slowly it became the current Hailan Private High School."
Pei Jin said so much, but the key point is actually just one sentence - monopoly of teaching staff.
The quality of academic performance is determined by 30% innate conditions, 30% by teachers’ education, 30% by acquired efforts, and 10% by luck.
The educational resources in every city are limited. The Pei family recruited the teachers with the best teaching experience from Haiqi. When the management was not strict at that time, many famous teachers with rich experience in key high schools left the key high schools and came to Hailan Private High School. This is one of the reasons for the increase or decrease of one teacher.
A good teacher is good at both teaching and dealing with students. Although not all students can concentrate on their studies, there will definitely be a small number of students who suddenly become enlightened under the influence of their teachers during the three years of high school. They not only study hard, but also get excellent grades in the end. This is the second reason.
The third and most important point is that the top scorer in the college entrance examination that year happened to be from Hailan Private High School at that time.
Every point in the college entrance examination is very close, and a difference of one point often means the difference of more than ten places. Today, Hailan Private High School can secure the top spot, but luck played a big part in Hailan High School's success back then.
Finally, when the school's reputation spreads, the already excellent students will naturally come in an endless stream. Teaching geniuses is naturally easier than teaching ordinary people, thus forming a virtuous circle and naturally prospering.
The whole thing seems accidental, but in fact it is inevitable.
Bai Yuan went straight to the point of the problem and saw through the essence at a glance. He thought for a moment and asked, "I remember your uncle is not in the country?"
"He went abroad with my grandparents a long time ago and seldom came back. I have only seen them a few times since I was a child, so I am not very familiar with them." Pei Jin answered truthfully.
Pei Jin spoke in a normal tone, as if this was a trivial matter that was not worth paying too much attention to or understanding.
But Bai Yuan's thoughts paused, and he vaguely grasped a clue.
Pei Jin's biological father was German, and the "Pei" in Pei Jin's name came from his mother's surname, so the Pei family was his original family.
The legitimate heir to a wealthy family is always the eldest son, that is, the first child in the family, and it has little to do with gender, unless the eldest son is incompetent. In this case, either the eldest son will have a child to practice the trumpet, or the next son will take the throne.
But if the family is related by marriage, like Bai Yuan and those from the compound, the same person cannot be engaged in both business and politics, so the situation is different. The order of seniority is not taken into account, and there is no such thing as the primogeniture system.
Leaving aside the individual case in the compound, this order of inheritance is a very common phenomenon among top wealthy families, and the Pei family is no exception.
From this we can see that Pei Jin's uncle, that is, Pei's mother's eldest brother, was the original heir to the Pei family. However, because he was not capable of taking on important tasks, Pei's mother later took over and the Pei family finally fell into her hands.
If it's just like this, it's okay.
But Bai Yuan has been close to the Pei family in the past two years and often goes to the Pei residence. Except for Pei Jin, Pei's mother, and the servants and nannies who are responsible for taking care of the house and daily life, there is no third person with the surname Pei in the entire Pei family. They have not even mentioned him during casual chats.
This is an unusual and intriguing thing in itself. It is hard not to wonder if there is some inside story or secret behind it. What kind of inside story can make a family live apart and no longer visit each other, and even make Pei Jin say "not very familiar"...
It is probably nothing more than a series of events that happened when Pei's mother inherited the Pei family. Combined with the fact that Pei's mother now has the final say and is firmly in her control, as well as her unquestionable desire to control Pei Jin, the answer is self-evident.
Bai Yuan was thinking quickly, and at this moment, the principal's passionate speech happened to be heard again from the speakers. The content had reached the thank-you part, and the principal's words of special thanks to Pei's mother and Pei's family reached Bai Yuan's ears without a trace.
Bai Yuan: "Let's stop here for now. The principal is almost done with his speech and will move on to the next part. I need to go back and supervise."
Pei Jin naturally had no objection.
After the two of them said a brief farewell, Pei Jin looked at Bai Yuan's back as he left, wondering what he was thinking.
After a moment, Pei Jin came back to his senses, glanced at the people busy doing their jobs in the backstage, then raised his hand and grabbed a person by the collar with incredible precision.
"Fuck, who is it? Are you sick? You... uh, Master Pei..."
The captured person was displeased at first, and turned his head away while cursing. But when he saw Pei Jin's overly flamboyant face, his expression changed again. Not only did his momentum weaken, but he also instantly put on a fawning and ingratiating face:
"What instructions do you have?"
"Stop talking nonsense. How is the task I asked you to do going?" Pei Jin asked straight to the point without wasting time.
He was still waiting to show off his skills and impress Bai Yuan so that she would look at him with new eyes.
There has been no progress in these days. Don't wait until you can't even get on stage, that would be ridiculous.
"Don't worry, everything is going according to plan!" Pei Jin's follower who was mingling in the student union said quickly, "Da Liu and the others have gone to catch, ahem, to solve the problem. There is still a long time before the performance, so it's enough time!"
The attendant winked and assured: "Just wait for our good news!"
Seeing him make such a promise, Pei Jin was relieved, but he still did not forget to point out a few words to him, urging him:
"Hurry up, if you do it well, I will reward you handsomely. Didn't you like the new limited edition motorcycle before? I'll give it to you! As for the others, it's all up to me. If you don't do it well, I have plenty of ways to deal with you."
"Don't worry! Don't worry!"
Pei Jin has been busy practicing the piano recently, and the time he spends hanging out with them has been greatly reduced. They haven't gotten any money from Young Master Pei for a long time, and they are all looking forward to it like hungry chicks.
When he heard Pei Jin say he would give him a reward, his eyes lit up and he promised again: "Mr. Pei is so generous, we will complete the task! I will go and urge them to move faster..."
