There are two paths to teacher promotion: academic and administrative.

Take the academic path, starting from the second-level professional title, first-level, senior, high-level, and special-level. The special grade is a provincial honor, not a professional title, and there are leading talents, famous educators, famous teachers, etc. at the same level, and then there are national advanced workers and national model workers.

Take the administrative path, starting from the secretary or the Youth League Committee, deputy director, director, vice principal, principal or secretary. It's almost the end of the school level, and if you go up a level, you have to be transferred to the Municipal Education Bureau, and enter the sequence of director, deputy director, and director. Administrative management is about qualifications, and if there is no opportunity, it is common for a position to be done for several years or even more than ten years.

Some people plan well, step on the point at every step, and go all the way smoothly, and some people are confused, miss a few key steps, or delay for a few years, and stop from there. This is everyone's fate, and the mentality should be good, and complaining about the sky and others is counterproductive.

Li Xiang has only been working for six or seven years, and soon after he was rated as a first-level professional title, he stepped from an ordinary teacher to the ranks of middle-level cadres, which can be regarded as seizing the opportunity. He himself is self-motivated, and he has the support of the rich secretary, and this time he was transferred to the Dayouxiang Campus as the deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office, which can be said to be a key step.

Li Xiang is a student of Secretary Qian, and he usually has a very close life, so he naturally knows a lot of inside information. President Zou and the director of the Academic Affairs Office is just an expedient measure, Zheng Yikai is too young, Gu Hengchuan is not established, and he, as the deputy director of the top rank, has a great chance of correcting. Even if there is no hint from Secretary Qian, Li Xiang wants to go further, in his opinion, it is important to make achievements in administrative management, and more importantly, there are people to help him, which not only refers to people above, but also indispensable inside and outside the department.

Only when we walk together can we go far. Externally, he has to have a good relationship with several directors of the office, the student office, and the general affairs office, and internally, he hopes to subdue Zheng Yikai and Gu Hengchuan, at least not to pull back.

Shiyi time passes, the plot of Corporal Lixian's bowing down will not appear again, and Li Xiang doesn't feel that he has this royal spirit, but he still understands some of the methods of using both soft and hard to manipulate people, but the first time he used it on Gu Hengchuan, he touched a nail that was neither hard nor soft, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He sounded the alarm bell in his heart, and he kept to himself and did a good job in charge, while at the same time watching coldly, and gradually figured out some doorways. Dayouxiang Campus is different from the headquarters of Surabaya Middle School, foreign teachers are used to being free and casual, simple and stubborn, difficult to communicate, a few young people are studying abroad, they are not mature enough, they always hang on their faces, they can't hide their words, and they are different from these native cadres. Li Xiang felt that he was not the same person as them, but Director Zhao of the office and Director Hu of the General Affairs Office, who were old-fashioned, made him feel familiar and cordial.

As for Gu Hengchuan, a contract worker who had not been staffed, he didn't understand what to be proud of.

After a long time, Li Xiang realized that he was most proud of having a prominent girlfriend, Song Lixia, deputy director of the Student Affairs Office. Three points of talent and seven points of dress, Song Lixia looks good, dresses up carefully, looks generous and decent, pleasing to the eye, and is rare. Li Xiang admires her.

Some female teachers in Surabaya Middle School also wear makeup, apply powder on their faces, have color differences on their necks, asymmetrical eyebrows, lip lines are not hooked well, lipstick fades, they are easy to sweat in summer, and they don't remember to touch up their makeup, so it is better to face the sky. The times are different, and it is understandable for female teachers to wear light makeup, but makeup is a skill, and it is best not to go out with semi-finished products before practicing on your own face, this is Li Xiang's private opinion.

The arrival of newcomers is like a few more catfish in the pond, and the Dayouxiang campus is stirred, and all work goes hand in hand, like a war.

Some people are busy, some people are idle, but Gu Hengchuan is empty.

Every day when he arrives at school, the first thing he does is to boil water to make tea, he doesn't need to boil the "thousand boiling water" in the water room, and boils water with an electric kettle. It will take a while for the water to boil, and Gu Hengchuan will make a list of the day's work, draw an important emergency four-quadrant diagram, and know it in his heart.

After making tea and drinking one or two slowly, Gu Hengchuan entered the working state and handled various affairs in an orderly manner. He has a clear mind, thinks about it before he starts, and pays attention to overall planning and set-up. "Set file" is the dialect of Surabaya City, which refers to doing one thing and waiting, and doing another thing by the way, such as the all-in-one machine printing test papers, and taking time to count the teaching materials, without delay.

Zheng Yikai didn't know anything about exam affairs, student status, and archives, and he didn't have the time and energy to learn slowly, so he was not ashamed to ask, asked Gu Hengchuan for advice, and asked him for advice a few times, so he simply asked him to handle it single-handedly. These are all jobs where practice makes perfect, Gu Hengchuan didn't shirk it, and helped him do it. However, he pays attention to proportion, he does what he does, he is just the hand of doing things, and the idea is still to be taken by Zheng Yikai.

The two worked happily together, Zheng Yikai was impressed by Gu Hengchuan, and the little mustard before disappeared. He has already had a girlfriend and no longer misses Xiao Song.

Li Xiang has some opinions on this, he feels that the student status and the archives are very important, and Gu Hengchuan should not be allowed to interfere, but nominally Zheng Yikai is also the deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office, and it is not his turn to point fingers, so he can only keep the words in his stomach. If Zheng Yikai can make a mistake, he can prove that his opinion is right, but how can Gu Hengchuan make a mistake in the matter?

Li Xiang put the work in charge of himself very tightly, but "it is not difficult to see people carrying the burden, and they are burdened and broken spine", the enrollment work is more complicated than he imagined, although Principal Zou said that Gu Hengchuan is a familiar hand, Li Xiang is unwilling to let go of power, and he must bow to everything, and he suffers himself.

Xiao Zheng saw a little clue and mentioned it to Xiao Song, and Xiao Song told Gu Hengchuan in private that Director Li seemed to distrust him. Gu Hengchuan didn't mind, the benefits were his own, he was happy, finished the work at hand, drank tea and read as usual, and asked Xiao Song to have a meal at noon.

When the students are in school, the student office can't cut off people, Roy takes care of Xiao Song very much, and only arranges for her to be on duty in the morning and evening, and free up lunch break to date Gu Hengchuan. Xiao Song was not hypocritical, he accepted his kindness generously, did his best at work, wanted to be in front of everything, and helped Roy coordinate all aspects of the relationship.

Each other's concepts and habits are different, bumps and bumps are inevitable, with Xiao Song here, Roy is much more relaxed, at least to avoid unnecessary internal friction.

For Gu Hengchuan and Xiao Song, work and life have not changed much, but there are undercurrents surging under the calm, and many things are not subject to Principal Zou's will.
