Chapter 381 The local tyrant's school
After staying in City S for a short time, I handled the contract and money properly, and after finishing the matter, I went to work on my own.
An Feng returned to the provincial capital and chartered a car to City D.
The car is parked in the hotel first and arranged the bodyguards with you. An Feng is now accustomed to having bodyguards every time he goes out, so he can be assured as he has more security or privacy. He doesn’t pay attention to the bodyguards, but in this ordinary city, bodyguards are not very useful.
An Feng gave them a holiday and took Joanna back to the community where his brother-in-law was. In the evening, his parents and cousin An Hui came. The sister cooked and prepared a table of dishes. After dinner, she sat down on the sofa and placed the cut fruit on the coffee table. The topic revolved around An Feng and his wife.
That is, An Hui talks a lot, and after talking about the whole thing for a while, she talks about the overall situation: "The school will start the day after tomorrow. Honorary principal and foundation chairman, please attend on time."
"Sister, let's talk well, don't be cute," said An Feng.
"What do children know?" An Hui smiled and took grapes from the fruit plate to eat.
An Feng really doesn't understand, but his sister cooperates with the publicity: "I'm pretending to be young and preparing to give my boyfriend a taste of the little girl."
"What?" An Feng almost choked and quickly swallowed the water, "An Hui, you are actually looking for a boyfriend!"
"Why is it so loud!" An Hui looked at him.
"Sorry." An Feng smiled, "Okay, congratulations! But can I let me know who captured the heart of our Miss An?"
Before An Hui could say that, the sister continued to reveal: "It's not from the school. She hired a group of teachers and then went abroad for research. She followed her. She was a young man who had just graduated for a few years. She heard that she was gentle, careful and handsome. No matter how cold the ice cubes were, they would melt."
An Hui said at this time: "Stop talking nonsense, what a mess of young people? We have known each other for a long time. When we were volunteers, we left contact information with him. We were busy with work later. I forgot, but I didn't expect to meet again. It's really destined to say that."
After hearing a few words, An Feng was curious about what she looked like when she took down her real person. By the way, his second uncle was already very anxious and almost fell to the point where he could marry as long as the other party was three legs... The day after tomorrow, An Feng took Joanna with him, drove by his brother-in-law and headed towards the county town.
The county town is under the jurisdiction of City D and is very close. Since the new road was repaired, it was completed for 20 minutes. I learned on the road that the school occupies a spacious area, the county town has cheap land, and with international friendship, the county government feels that there is light on its face and the land is generous.
The school was not listed under An Feng's name, and it was possible. But An Feng himself heard strange things, so he changed his name to "Bruce International Friendship School". After entering the school gate, there was a memorial wall, which introduced the nature of the school and the An Feng and Elizabeth Foundation that funded the school.
Today is the first day of school. The children are already in the classroom, and there are still some parents around. It seems that everyone is very curious about the new school. After Anhui got off the car, she began to lead them to visit and introduced: "Currently, the school has only primary school departments, with a total of 300 students. We have learned from the advantages of the West and adopt a small class system. There is a maximum of twenty people in a class, and the classroom environment is more free. There is a lot of spare time and there are extra interest classes, so that students can learn some of their favorite calligraphy, painting, or musical instruments."
An Hui took the lead in walking in front, An Feng and Joanna followed behind to watch. There was no big report on their arrival, nor did the students line up to welcome them. Anyway, what should they do normally and what they do now. At most, the principal and an assistant accompanied him to introduce the details of the school.
"Every classroom is different." An Hui introduced at the right time.
The classroom is very spacious, with cartoon pictures posted on the walls, and a storage cabinet behind the classroom, which allows students' personal belongings to be stored. An Feng's blackboard had long disappeared when he was a child, and was replaced by a bright whiteboard writing, which avoids the harm of chalk dust and is cleaner and more environmentally friendly.
A female teacher was giving a lecture on the stage, and the child was sitting in the audience who was curious about all this. The female teacher showed the content on the computer through a projector through a multimedia platform. The newly enrolled students were nothing more than those who knew pictures and literacy. Now with the Internet, it was obviously more convenient.
Much like a foreign primary school classroom, it stimulates children's interest with vivid objects. Each class is arranged differently, full of novelty and lively atmosphere, and is suitable for the age group. Teachers only need to be responsible for more than a dozen students, and the teaching tasks are easy and easier to take into account every student.
An Feng asked, "Does the students who come here live far? Go back at noon or?"
An Hui said: "This place is not far from the center of the county town, and the transportation is very convenient. It is usually picked up by parents or school buses. If you stay overnight at noon, you will be taken care of by a specialized life teacher, as well as food and safety education. You will be out of school at 4:30 in the afternoon and you can leave school after 4:30 in the afternoon."
"It's not bad." An Feng said.
My brother-in-law also said: "It makes people interested in revisiting elementary school when I see it."
In areas outside the teaching building, there are basketball courts and sports fields, as well as indoor sports fields. The conditions are very good, but there are few students. For newly established schools, most families are in good condition and send their children to public, while this private school is unknown.
In terms of teaching conditions alone, Anfeng spent money to build a rich school that the foundation strongly supported has no more than a school within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. Most teachers are younger, but they can accept new things. In recent years, the education system has been reformed, and they may be pioneers.
After a walk around, I found a bench to sit down. An Hui said: "There are a few people at present. On average, there are less than three classes in each grade. Some parents decided to let their children come after visiting the school. Now the education environment is different, and they are the first choice for public institutions."
An Feng did not have many lofty ambitions. He said: "It is impossible to change everyone, but I am very satisfied to change the future of some people, even if it is a dozen. What's more, private schools are not necessarily bad. Referring to private schools in big cities, they are noble schools."
Anhui said: "So we strictly maintain the formulated framework. The small class system has advantages and cannot be destroyed."
An Feng asked: "Is there any funding problem?"
An Hui said: "It's okay in this regard. The Chinese branch has a lot of education funds. In addition to supporting the construction of this school, we also sponsored ten Hope Primary Schools to build teaching buildings, which helped more than 50 college students. There is still a special amount and can do a lot of things."
Since the foundation established its branch in Hong Kong, An Hui has also been transferred to the board of directors, responsible for both the school and part of the foundation. Of course, she has to be responsible for the school directors composed of the board of directors. If the principal does not do well, she will face the fate of firing.
"There will be more donations in the future." An Feng said that although he planned to build a school just to justify his name, he was not a charity professional, and even partly aimed at avoiding taxes, it at least brought hope to others. There is a beginning and an end, sowing it will wait for it to bear fruit.
...
After the first class in the morning, the Monday flag raising ceremony was ushered in.
The students were all concentrated in front of the flag-raising platform. The size of the 300 people was a bit pitiful. The huge teacher team formed a sharp contrast. Outsiders felt that the school was almost time to go bankrupt. The difference was that everyone from the principal to the teacher was very confident because the supporters were really not short of money.
An Feng, the honorary principal, and Joanna, the chairman of the foundation, also attended the event. They stood in front of the teaching staff, and journalists also came to the scene. They heard that they were from the city’s TV station and were very curious about the school’s “international teaching” concept and wanted to record content.
Although An Feng is not high-profile, his net worth of 10 billion US dollars is not the top even in China, he is considered a very rich person. Now he invests in domestic education and has created the level of a private aristocratic school in a big city in an ordinary county. This is definitely a good news topic.
When the flag-raising march was played, everyone's eyes frequently turned to the teaching staff, and it was obvious that they were curious about the foreign ladies present. Joanna required rigorous attention to the formal occasions, and naturally she also paid attention to the matching of clothing, jewelry and hats, dignified but not lacking in fashion.
After the ceremony, An Hui, wearing a professional dress, came to the stage to speak without having to speak. She abandoned the long-standing comments on the stage and was sleepy under the stage. She said a few words to congratulate the start of school, and then introduced the honorary principal and foundation chairman in front of the teaching staff.
An Feng waved his hand at the scene, and then the principal announced the dissolution of the students.
This efficiency... it scattered in less than a minute after going on stage, but it was just like Anhui's temperament. It was simple and straightforward. If you tell elementary school students that the mess is useless, even middle school students, they may not necessarily listen to you. They just go in and out of the right ear, so it is better to follow the public opinion.
The teacher team stayed in the local area, and the principal still had something to say to the teacher team, and the TV station also wanted to interview.
An Hui's words are simple, the school's teaching philosophy is very novel, and it also cooperates with the domestic reform of the college entrance examination and further reform the education concept.
The TV station also began recording news.
An Hui said seriously: "All of us, including me, must be responsible to the school directors. If there are major mistakes, we will deal with them strictly. Education is a sacred thing and concerns the future of many people. I hope you will treat it with a rigorous attitude and care for our future."
Then someone interviewed An Feng and his wife.
An Feng also gave face and told some questions about aid. Thanks to the local government for their cooperation, so that the leaders of the Education Bureau also had light on their faces. A reporter asked Joanna about the foundation: "Madam, can you introduce to us the Elizabeth Foundation that sponsors the school?"
Joanna said: "It is a private charitable foundation, currently has branches in England, the United States and China. Its main purpose is to help children and education, pursue equal rights of women, and we will continue to provide assistance to China's education cause."
The reporter also asked about funding the school and hoping it would develop. Joanna's answer was very concise and affirmative. She said she would provide free help in many aspects. Listening to her speaking of pure English and combined with novel educational concepts, she felt that it was of high quality and international results.
