03 Flower and Sword (02)
"We only care about the students who stay, not the students who leave." The chess nerd fell, and the chess piece said flatly.
"But those who left were also our students." Yang Zheng was silent for a long time and slowly replied.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, the chess nerd rarely showed a sarcastic smile, she said: "We are just teachers in training institutions, and we only have the most ordinary employment relationship with students and parents. Moreover, even if he is a teacher in a regular school, he will not be able to avoid the end of the student growing up and leaving him and the school one day in the future. ”
"So, what you want is to let go, don't let go."
Perhaps, as the chess nerd said, in addition to educating people, the teacher still has to accept and get used to parting.
But she seems to have forgotten that Yang Zheng is obviously an incompetent teacher, not only is he not used to parting, but he also does not like to say goodbye to students who call him teacher in this way.
Under the stunned gaze of the chess nerd, he slowly walked to the chessboard, he picked up the cannon that the chess nerd had hesitated for a long time, and smashed it hard on the cusp.
With his fall, the chess nerd looked at the cruelty that had plagued her for a long time, and inexplicably remembered a patchwork poem in her mind.
That is, "Don't be afraid of clouds to cover your eyes, and keep the clouds open and see the moon." ”
……
Yang Zheng didn't go home directly from work for the first time, he wandered aimlessly on the streets.
The newly opened chess club dazzled him.
The propaganda posters placed at the door, the sentences written on them, made Yang Zheng feel like a promise of the Arabian Nights. Let him inadvertently walk into one of the largest chess clubs focusing on Internet teaching, which I heard is the largest chess club chain in the south, and I also heard that the headquarters of this chain chess club is also the same as the Huajia Chess Club, and there are many chess masters as teachers.
The teacher in charge of this branch is not a professional chess player. But he is more famous than many professional chess players.
Because of this master, he once won three professional chess players in one go in a highly rated entertainment show.
Although these three professional chess players are some retired second- and third-level chess players, this unscientific ending is a fantasy for a chess enthusiast who has been practicing on the streets for ten years and has been questioned by his family and friends.
When unscience and Arabian Nights collided together, he naturally became a hot Internet celebrity that year.
He was popular for a whole year before disappearing from public view, and during that year, he played chess almost every day, playing against masters of no small level.
In that year, his opponent had not won on the board, and he had not lost.
But in the end, he lost to the world outside the chessboard.
After all, there are too many people who want to become Internet celebrities nowadays, and chess is the best product and ladder to become Internet celebrities in the eyes of many people.
It's bland, mundane, and everywhere.
But as long as the person who holds it is a person who is completely opposite to the imaginary image, even contrary to unscientific, contrary to some fanciful people. Chess and the person who holds the chess will naturally become a commodity and a ladder incredibly.
When chess becomes a commodity, a ladder.
The latecomer will always have the strength to overthrow the former and stand on the steps in his place.
He didn't lose in a year, but he still lost in the end.
He lost to an influencer who couldn't play chess, and he lost to an era that gave him ups and downs.
But a year later, no one expected that the outdated Internet celebrity would actually come back to become a chess teacher.
Of course, what they didn't expect was that he would become the sitting teacher of the first branch of this southern chess club in the north.
……
Yang Zheng looked at the crowded registration hall, his eyes were a little confused.
He looked at the price posted on the wall again, and he shook his head with a wry smile.
There are 101 online chess classes, and the starting price of offline teaching is 200.
This is several times higher than the fees charged by their own chess club. But it seems that Internet celebrities are still Internet celebrities, even if they are outdated, he still has an enviable number of fans as evidence to convince parents.
Yang Zheng looked at these parents holding their children, and he couldn't help but wonder, are these parents also gamblers? Will these innocent children be pawns in the hands of this group of parents who seem to want Jackie Chan?
Before Yang Zheng could think of a reason from this complex and terrifying imagination, a fat man with a child in front of him who looked greasy took the initiative to greet him.
"Are you going to sign up your child for chess?" Although this fat man is greasy, he looks very gentle, and his tone is also soft, inadvertently giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.
After a short exchange, Yang Zheng was a little surprised, because this fat man was actually one year younger than himself, and at the age of twenty-eight, he actually had a son who was almost six years old.
This boy is obviously also at the age of youth and vitality.
He was active and playful, and he seemed to have been playing video games on his father's phone for a long time.
His father also obviously followed Yang Zheng's gaze, he was a little embarrassed, he said that the reason why he signed up for this chess club was actually to keep his son away from the current electronic products and learn something useful.
But he looked at the long queue, and he felt as if he couldn't register his son today.
Yang Zheng looked at the long dragon, and he asked the fat man curiously, why didn't he choose someone else's chess club.
After all, there are so many newly opened chess clubs, and they may not be worse than this chess club.
The fat man thought about it, and he smiled bitterly again, because he wanted to enroll his child in the best chess club and learn the best chess.
After Yang Zheng listened to the fat man's answer, he sneered, Then you are not just not to let your child be addicted to electronic products, but to let your child have a great future in the future.
The fat man didn't hesitate this time, he nodded, and he admitted it very calmly.
He said that in addition to letting his children have a big career, he also has a more important reason, that is, he doesn't want his children to be like him, and they have no special skills except for reading since they were young.
Yang Zheng looked at the honest fat man, the sneer on his face suddenly disappeared, and he said a little melancholy: "Reading is good, isn't it also a specialty?" ”
The fat man touched the boy's head, he nodded, shook his head at the end, and said, "Good at reading, maybe it's a specialty." However, it's definitely not a specialty that can keep regrets when you go to school. ”
"Regrets?"
"Well, it's a pity."
"At least, when you are ignorant of expecting the girl you have a crush on, you will not learn to withdraw because you have a specialty that is different from others."
"At least in the period of confusion that only comes after being sensible, he will be full of hope and uncompromising courage for life and the future because of his unique specialty!"
