School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

Chapter 166 Rising Fame

At the press conference, everyone's expression appeared very somber and oppressive, especially the cadres from the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department. They stood in a corner to the side, seemingly still discussing how to make their statements and how to phrase their words.

Soon, the time reached three in the afternoon.

The press conference began, and the cadres from the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department arrived one after another; they stood at the press conference venue. There was a row of tables set up at the venue, covered with microphones, with a large caption cloth arranged behind them.

"All right, let us begin the press conference," the Deputy Minister of the Propaganda Department started speaking, his expression solemn, "Regarding the Focus Interview broadcast last night on CCTV about the unjust treatment of teacher Li Yunpeng at the school, the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government have debated several times and made the following decisions: first, to remove Li Fukai from his position as principal of Fourth Middle School, to revoke...

Second, to reinstate teacher Li Yunpeng to his position and to back pay the two years of salary owed to him by Fourth Middle School. Third..."

The Deputy Minister's remarks were brief and to the point; he did not want to say anything superfluous or provide any further explanations, he simply announced the findings of the Municipal Committee's research.

The media reporters at the venue immediately began taking photographs and conducting interviews; long and short lenses targeted the spokesperson.

"All right, does anyone else have any questions?" the Deputy Minister asked.

"Deputy Minister Li, I am a reporter from LJ City TV Station. Hello," a beautiful female reporter quickly seized the first opportunity to speak.

"Hello," the Deputy Minister nodded slightly as a gesture of respect.

"I would like to ask," the beautiful reporter asked curiously, "what if teacher Li Yunpeng does not wish to go back to teaching? Moreover, we have also learned from the program that teacher Li Yunpeng has lived a modest life supporting impoverished students. Why, for all these years, did you not notice until CCTV broadcast the report? Isn't this a result of laziness and negligence in governance?"

A series of questions immediately overwhelmed Deputy Minister Li.

"All right," Deputy Minister Li nodded and said, "First, if teacher Li Yunpeng does not wish to go back to teaching, that's fine, the Municipal Committee will definitely provide compensation. We will absolutely not let teacher Li Yunpeng suffer any further indignities. Second, truly, the work of the Municipal Committee is challenging. Subordinate malfeasance is indeed troublesome.

I admit that our work has not been done well, but we have been continuously improving and striving, trying our best to ensure that there is not a second Li Yunpeng."

The response was quite fair and satisfied the crowd.

The press conference continued until four o'clock. The approach of the Propaganda Department also left the media very satisfied, earnestly answering every question from the reporters on site, making sure not to disappoint anyone.

As the news broadcast, it created a great stir.

It wasn't just Li Fukai stepping down, but even the entire leadership of Fourth Middle School had been dismissed. From the principal to the director of the academic affairs office, all were removed from their positions, becoming ordinary teachers, and they were also once issued with an internal party warning.

Some rejoiced while others worried. Li Hengzhong, being the principal of First Middle School and holding a significant position, now also took on the principal role at Fourth Middle School and had to form his own leadership team.

With no choice, Li Hengzhong had to transfer the two vice principals from his own school to oversee the work at Fourth Middle School; otherwise, even if he had the ability to be in two places at once, he couldn't handle the responsibilities of both schools.

Although the Municipal Government of LJ City had taken a series of actions, it could not stop the already enraged public, especially those at the lower strata of society. You must know, these year-round oppressed masses at the lower levels of society are always the group most subjected to oppression and societal unspoken rules. Therefore, they were very sad and heartbroken.

As soon as the Li Yunpeng incident broke out, it immediately sparked considerable resentment and anger.

Just like the September 18th large-scale protests, most of those smashing RB cars were from the lower strata of society. Their hearts had built up years of resentment and anger. Thus, the car-smashing incidents occurred, which would not have happened if they hadn't been enduring unfair treatment and oppression for years.

............

Although this event had a significant impact, fortunately, it did not lead to any severe consequences. Mainly because of the rapid response of LJ City, the Municipal Committee acted swiftly, quickly accounting to the citizens of LJ City. To a great extent, it pacified the public sentiment and also raised the public's trust in the government a bit.

The Provincial Party Committee and Government had opinions about this incident, but since the Central Government didn't put much pressure, the Provincial Party Committee and Government suppressed everything. This way, the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government of LJ City didn't face much pressure.

Soon, the event just faded away subtly.

Li Yunpeng suddenly became a hot figure in LJ City. Originally many parents didn't care or even minded Li Yunpeng becoming a teacher at the Hanmen Training Class. But now, once the news came out that he had once been an outstanding national teacher and even appeared on Central Government news, suddenly, everyone started to see him in a new light.

No one opposed Li Yunpeng anymore, and many parents, attracted by his fame, sent their children to school. Unfortunately, the Hanmen Training Class wasn't enrolling anymore.

Ever since the broadcast on CCTV, Li Yunpeng had become a celebrity in the Fuxing Community. Every day when he went out, quite a few people would take the initiative to greet him. Previously, when Li Yunpeng went out, everyone would keep their distance because they all knew he had no money, was poor and plain, and because he was straightforward, he would speak out if he saw something he didn't like.

But now, quite a few people proactively approached him to greet. At last, he experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships.

Hanmen Training Class.

"Xiao Han!" Li Dapang called Xiao Han.

"What's the situation?" Xiao Han asked.

"Recently, more and more people have been enrolling at the training class," Li Dapang said awkwardly, "Do you think... do you think we should start enrolling students now?"

"Hold on a second!" Xiao Han shook his head and said, "Let's talk to Li Yunpeng, doesn't he have a suitable candidate? Have him bring his friend over."

"I think we should first focus on retaining the students," Li Dapang said.

"Don't rush!" Xiao Han still stuck to his own view, saying, "We have to firmly hold on to this point, resolutely not letting anyone easily enroll."

"Why?" Li Dapang asked curiously.

"This is called hunger marketing!" Xiao Han grinned and explained.

"Oh...I see!" Li Dapang suddenly realized and said, "I get it now, this is just like the marketing strategy of Xiaomi Phone, right?"

"Yes!" Xiao Han nodded.

Li Dapang found it very reasonable.

Actually, Xiao Han himself was also planning a hunger marketing campaign. Li Yunpeng had recently been contacting a few of his old friends. All of them were retired teachers, not only qualified but also very experienced. They weren't accustomed to staying idle at home, and some of them would take up some training classes outside. But, employers would consider them too old and lacking vitality.

After all, the current training classes were more about being youthful and lively.

So, these old teachers had been neglected, left idle at home.

Li Yunpeng soon contacted a few of them. Nowadays, Li Yunpeng had become quite popular, and many teachers were willing to give him face. Especially when they heard that Li Yunpeng was inviting them to teach at Hanmen, they were even more delighted. Not only could they earn money, but they could also return to their beloved jobs.

The elderly fear most becoming useless—they hoped their lifelong experiences could be passed on to the next generation and that they could continue to shine in their teaching roles.

............

The reputation of Hanmen Training Class was rising rapidly. Due to the exposure of the Li Yunpeng incident and the coverage by CCTV, its fame instantly resonated throughout LJ City, becoming the most popular training class there. Many people wanted to get in but struggled with the lack of connections. They were very anxious, especially since the college entrance examination was drawing near.

They hoped their children could join Hanmen Training Class, even if it meant improving their scores slightly, to outperform many others on this competitive path.

After school, Xiao Han, carrying his backpack, walked slowly towards home.

"Xiao Han!" Suddenly, a crisp voice called out from behind.

"Xiao Lei?" Xiao Han was surprised and said, "I...I thought you had gone back to Shenzhen?"

"Hehe..." Xiao Lei chuckled and said, "I went back to Shenzhen for some personal matters, and the company called me back to handle some paperwork. So, I went back for a month."

"So, that was it. I thought you weren't coming back!" Xiao Han laughed.

"How could I?" Xiao Lei chuckled and said, "I can't bear to leave you!"

"Hehe..." Xiao Han laughed bashfully.

"My goodness, you...you're blushing?" Xiao Lei looked at Xiao Han in surprise.

"I am not!" Xiao Han quickly shook his head.

"By the way, I have some good news to tell you!" Xiao Lei eagerly grabbed Xiao Han's hand as they walked like a couple through Fuxing Community.

"What's the good news?" Xiao Han asked curiously.

"I found a job!" Xiao Lei said excitedly.

"Oh?" Xiao Han was taken aback and said, "Really? What kind of job? Where is it?"

"Right at the entrance to our community!" Xiao Lei quickly said, "That...Hanmen Catering."

"Ah?" Xiao Han was surprised.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Lei looked at Xiao Han in astonishment and said, "You seem very surprised, is it...is it because you thought I was going to be a waitress?"

"No, not that!" Xiao Han quickly shook his head, re B:"Sister Xiao Lei, then what are you doing there?"
