Chapter 026 A Bunch of Madmen
The classroom's entrance was already crowded with dozens of media reporters as Li Hengzhong rushed to the Hanmen Training Class early in the morning, planning to talk personally with Xiao Han. Even more, over a hundred parents surrounded the entrance of the Hanmen Training Class, and inside the classroom, a hundred students neatly sat, their expressions relaxed yet filled with anticipation.
They felt they were the lucky ones, for if they had been just a step slower before, they might have ended up like those outside, unable to set foot inside this classroom.
They were grateful and happy.
"Look at those people, still hoping to get into the classroom." Jiang Xiaoliang said disdainfully.
"Exactly." Another boy grinned, "Now it's too late, haha..."
In the classroom, these naïve children seemed a bit too pleased with themselves.
At the classroom doorway, two men in security uniforms stood guard, not allowing anyone near. Big Fatty Li no longer wanted to attract public attention; he had grown thoroughly weary of the pestering he'd faced lately. He hid behind the crowd, silently smoking a cigarette by himself.
Everyone waited patiently.
Just as everyone craned their necks in anticipation, Xiao Han, wearing a mask, entered the classroom through the back door.
"Here he comes, he's here!" the crowd yelled out, turning the scene somewhat chaotic.
Media reporters and a group of parents crowded around, the reporters trying to seize the opportunity to interview this mysterious teacher while the parents were eager to talk to him, hoping to get their children into the Hanmen Training Class. The scene was momentarily in disarray.
At that moment, Big Fatty Li quickly rushed forward and immediately blocked the back door.
The two security guards at the front door also promptly sealed it off.
"Ladies and gentlemen," the security guard hastily said, "it's time for the Hanmen class to start. If you have any questions, please wait until after class or find our person in charge at another time."
A sly smile curled at the corners of Big Fatty Li's mouth.
The crowd gradually quieted down as Xiao Han, mask on, slowly walked up to the podium. Beneath the podium, over a hundred students sat quietly and neatly in the classroom. Each one's eyes filled with admiration and reverence.
After the recent city-wide joint exam, all the students greatly admired this mysterious teacher. He had singularly improved the scores of eighty percent of the students present, an impossible feat for any school or educational institution.
"After this city-wide joint exam, I am very pleased with your results," Xiao Han smiled and then continued, "But, we must not become arrogant. We must push against the current or risk falling behind. We need to keep improving ourselves. Alright, let's continue with the content we discussed last time..."
As Xiao Han became more familiar with the students, his teaching style grew more natural, witty, and humorous, occasionally interacting with the students in the room.
And these teenagers, in the midst of their formative years, were deeply curious about this mysterious teacher.
After the morning session was over,
"Teacher, can you let us see what you look like?" suddenly, a girl stood up.
"Yeah, let us see what you look like!" many students chimed in.
Chen Zihan was sitting in the second row, also curiously staring at Xiao Han, wondering what kind of face and what kind of person lay behind that mask. Handsome and charming? Mysteriously concealing? Or disfigured?
After saying that, Li Dapang ran off. Despite weighing around 180 pounds, he ran like the wind.
Watching Li Dapang's figure, Xiao Han couldn't help but curse, "Damn fatty!"
"It wasn't easy to find you!" Li Hengzhong, dressed in a crisp white shirt, suit pants, and black leather shoes, glasses perched on his nose, looked lively and energetic.
"What do you need me for, Principal Li?" Xiao Han asked curiously.
Over the past month, Xiao Han had experienced many aspects of life's warmth and coldness and had tasted its myriad flavors. His heart had matured, and even chatting with Li Hengzhong, he no longer felt the initial nervousness and reserve. He habitually spoke to Li Hengzhong in an adult tone, especially wearing such a "mask," it seemed to hide his greenness and naivety.
"Let's find a place to talk in detail," Li Hengzhong smiled, "How about a coffee shop?"
Xiao Han hesitated for a moment, then quickly agreed, "Okay!"
"Come on, my car is parked on the roadside!" Li Hengzhong chuckled.
Principal Li truly admired talents like Xiao Han. This time, the citywide joint exam had indeed greatly improved the students' performances at the Hanmen Training Class, making Li Hengzhong very curious about Xiao Han, wanting to understand what sort of person could have such ability.
Black Volkswagen Passat.
Li Hengzhong drove himself, with Xiao Han in the passenger seat.
The Passat was quite spacious, with ample space in both the front and back seats. The moment he settled into the sedan, Xiao Han suddenly felt an impulse, a wild desire to own a car.
As someone not well-versed in cars, the moment Xiao Han entered the Passat, he was captivated by it. Of course, before driving, one must learn and perhaps even pull some strings to spend more money and buy a driver's license without willing to go to driving school.
Throughout the ride, Xiao Han remained silent, mulling over whether to get a driver's license and then buy a car. It would make traveling to college much easier, and he could often drive back on weekends to visit his mom.
Seeing Xiao Han's silence, Li Hengzhong smiled, saying, "Are you constantly wondering why I sought you out?"
"No!" Xiao Han shook his head.
"Then what are you thinking about?" Li Hengzhong asked curiously.
"I'm thinking about when I can buy a car!" Xiao Han laughed.
"Haha..." Li Hengzhong immediately burst into laughter, saying, "You really are an honest person."
The car entered the city center and stopped in front of a coffee shop.
After entering the coffee shop, Li Hengzhong ordered a latte and Xiao Han asked for a juice. They sat facing each other.
"How does it feel?" Li Hengzhong asked.
"Pretty good," Xiao Han nodded slightly, saying, "Work is fulfilling, I spend a lot of time preparing lessons, making sure to thoroughly explain the concepts, and trying to make my lectures lively and interesting. It makes them realize that studying is not a boring task but rather an interesting one."
"Good, it's indeed a topic worth pondering!" Li Hengzhong laughed.
"Principal Li, did you seek me out for something?" Xiao Han asked.
