Song Jie had just pushed the door open, and that somewhat aged door let out a soft "creak," sounding particularly abrupt in the quiet office.

At a glance he saw Zhang Xue'er sitting quietly opposite Director Wang; at this moment Zhang Xue'er also turned her head to look at him, her eyes seeming to carry a trace of surprise.

Director Wang, on the other hand, looked at Song Jie with a face full of anger and said sternly, "How many times have I told you, do you know to knock? And at school you have to call me Director. Don't you have a brain? Don't you understand any rules at all?"

Song Jie hurriedly walked into the office on tiptoe, carefully closed the door, as if afraid of provoking Director Wang into getting even angrier.

He scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Director, I was just in a hurry, I'll definitely pay attention next time."

Director Wang ignored him further, but turned to smile at Zhang Xue'er and said, "Teacher Zhang, you go back first. Hurry up and notify all the parents, strive to start the Little Guardian Class trial tomorrow. This is an important measure by the school, it absolutely cannot be taken lightly."

Zhang Xue'er smiled and nodded, saying, "Director rest assured, I will notify the parents as soon as possible, ensuring tomorrow's trial proceeds smoothly."

Having spoken, she stood up preparing to leave; before leaving she glanced at Song Jie, her eyes seeming to have something to say, but in the end she still didn't speak.

After Zhang Xue'er left, Director Wang looked at Song Jie and said helplessly, "Can't you improve a bit? Look at you, muddle-headed all day long."

Song Jie said anxiously, "Uncle, why did you assign the Little Guardian Class to me? I still have a pile of things after work. Your sister, my mom, has been waiting to hold a grandson; if you do this, where will I find time to date?"

Director Wang frowned and said, "Look at your bearing. Zhong Yi saw the superior's document yesterday and immediately expressed his stance to put the Little Guardian Class trial in Grade 5 Class 1 and Class 2, taking responsibility alone. Unlike you, so useless, not a bit of initiative."

Song Jie said irritably, "If he's willing to do it, let him do it. Why did you drag me and Teacher Zhang into it?"

Director Wang took a sip of water and said slowly, "You think Zhang Xue'er was dragged in by me? She voluntarily signed up before I even sent the notice. My notice didn't specify which teacher signed up; it was just to bring you along. Class 1's homeroom teacher and math teacher are on duty; your Class 2, are you really okay letting the math teacher be on duty alone? Do you still want this year's Excellent Teacher award? Besides, don't you like Zhang Xue'er? At that time, if you arrange your shift together with hers, wouldn't that work?"

Hearing this, Song Jie fell silent for a moment, then said, "Uncle, this is too sudden, isn't it? I have zero preparation."

Director Wang snorted and said, "What preparation? The opportunity has been created for you; if you still don't seize it properly, don't blame me for not helping you."

Song Jie said helplessly, "Fine, since things are already like this, what more can be said? Fortunately there's still Zhang Xue'er keeping me company, counts as a bit of consolation."

Director Wang said earnestly, "You, you should learn more from Zhang Xue'er and Zhong Yi. Be proactive in doing things, serious and responsible toward work. If you had half her effort, I'd be at ease."

Song Jie nodded and said, "I know, Uncle. I'll work hard. But this Little Guardian Class business really is a bit troublesome."

Director Wang glared at him and said, "Troublesome what? This is the school's work arrangement, you must execute it seriously. Moreover, this is also an opportunity to temper yourself, it's good for you."

Song Jie sighed and said, "Fine, I'll do my best."

Director Wang added, "Also, when you're on duty with Zhang Xue'er, perform well, don't be sloppy all day."

Song Jie smiled somewhat awkwardly and said, "I know, Uncle. Stop nagging."

Zhong Yi saw the duty roster Director Wang sent to him alone, and revealed a meaningful smile; on the roster, Zhong Yi and Director Wang were on duty Mon/Wed/Fri each week, Zhang Xue'er and Song Jie on Tue/Thu.

Zhong Yi also knew the relationship between Director Wang and Song Jie; for their little schemes Zhong Yi didn't care at all, he was only doing it for the task.

Song Jie and Zhang Xue'er also received the duty roster; Song Jie was naturally overjoyed, Zhang Xue'er felt some regret, but didn't go find Director Wang to say anything.

That day, the parent groups for Grade 5 Class 1 and Class 2 received the notice about the after-school care program; many parents expressed that the school had finally thought of the parents.

But some parents expressed worry; for example, Tian Yulan asked in the group: "Teacher, is this Little Guardian Class voluntary? Will the teacher give lessons?"

Other parents asked whether fees would be charged, whether it was a disguised cram school.

Seeing Tian Yulan speak, Zhong Yi couldn't help recalling the grievances between Tian Yulan and Zhong Yi in the original drama.

In the TV drama "Small Sacrifice," there were many grievances between Tian Yulan and Zhong Yi:

After a math diagnostic exam, Tian Yulan discovered her son Yan Ziyou only scored 86 points, ranking fourth in the class.

After investigation, she discovered math teacher Zhong Yi ran a tutoring class outside school, and believed the last two major questions had been taught in the tutoring class but not in class. So Tian Yulan exposed Zhong Yi's outside tutoring in the parent group, sparking collective anger among parents. Afterwards she even fanned the flames, rallying parents to jointly petition to report Zhong Yi. This series of actions by Tian Yulan forced Zhong Yi to resign, even losing his tenured position.

After Zhong Yi left the school to teach at Zeshu Tutoring Center, Tian Yulan hoped Zi You could enter Zeshu's Gold Medal Class, but due to the previous reporting incident, plus Yan Ziyou tying for eighth place with another student in the Gold Medal Class entrance exam, while the Gold Medal Class only admitted eight students, Zhong Yi kept blocking and refused Yan Ziyou entry into the Gold Medal Class. For this Tian Yulan used every means, found all kinds of connections, gave gifts, but none succeeded.

Even Zhong Yi once said in front of everyone that Mi Tao scoring 100 was because the paper only had 100 points, while Zi You scoring 94 was because he could only score 94. These words, to Tian Yulan who had always regarded Zi You as a "math prodigy," were like a bolt from the blue, severely striking her self-esteem.

In the end Tian Yulan still pulled strings to get Yan Ziyou into the Gold Medal Class, but when Zhong Yi criticized Yan Ziyou it was posted online and caused cyberbullying, ultimately Zhong Yi ended up blacklisted by the industry.

Regarding the system's side quest to make Tian Yulan receive punishment, Zhong Yi still hadn't figured out how to do it, could only take it one step at a time.

Zhong Yi collected his mood and continued watching the various parents' questions in the group.

For these parents' questions, neither Zhang Xue'er nor Song Jie could answer; Zhang Xue'er hadn't had time to read the Education Bureau notice in detail, while Song Jie simply didn't care about this matter at all, only thinking about how to close the distance with Zhang Xue'er.

While Zhang Xue'er was nervously flipping through the Education Bureau notice, Zhong Yi answered all the parents' questions in the group; based on the Education Bureau document, he summarized several points and sent them to the group together: "First, this Little Guardian Class is a trial, voluntary participation, temporarily no fees; whether fees will be charged after formal implementation will depend on superior notice at that time. Second, during Little Guardian Class time students can complete the day's homework assigned by teachers at school; if they have questions they can ask teachers, but the Little Guardian Class will not conduct systematic teaching. Third, teachers will organize some interesting activities according to circumstances, covering all subjects, such as fun math problems, extracurricular reading, etc. If any parents worry their children will miss these contents by not attending the Little Guardian Class, teachers can photograph the relevant contents daily and send them to the group, and parents can organize their children to study at home."

Zhong Yi sent the relevant content in both the Class 1 and Class 2 groups, resolving most parents' doubts.

That evening after school Yan Ziyou returned home and told his mother Tian Yulan that he wanted to participate in the school's Little Guardian Class, and didn't want to attend the extracurricular Olympiad math class.

Hearing this, Tian Yulan looked at her son and said, "What's the point of that Little Guardian Class? Your school's teachers are just that level, they fundamentally can't compare to tutoring class teachers. You're about to test for Zeshu's Gold Medal Class; at this time you absolutely cannot let your guard down. When the teacher sends the Little Guardian Class contents to the group, Mom will accompany you to do them at home, okay? Go on, do your homework first."

Yan Ziyou walked desolately toward his small writing desk.
