The fierce quarrel in the Yan family finally ended with Yan Peng being rendered speechless, yet Yan Zi You's inner struggle and confusion did not dissipate in the slightest.

Tian Yulan paid no heed whatsoever to Yan Zi You's feelings; she not only resolutely cancelled Yan Zi You's only extracurricular activity time — soccer class — but also unhesitatingly enrolled Yan Zi You in additional Olympiad math classes.

Yan Zi You looked at the schedule packed full of arranged classes, his eyes full of helplessness and pain, and he protested softly: "Mom, I don't want to take so many classes, I want to play soccer."

Tian Yulan, however, said sternly: "No, Zi You, now is not the time to play, you must study hard in order to have a good future."

Yan Zi You could only silently lower his head, his heart full of bitterness yet utterly helpless, forced to silently endure this heavy academic pressure, suffering immensely.

Meanwhile, Xia Huanhuan's self-confidence suffered another heavy blow because she could not keep up with Zeshu's curriculum.

Xia Junshan looked at his daughter's dejected expression, his heart aching terribly. After careful investigation, he finally discovered the root of his daughter's learning problems.

Thus, he decided to personally go to Zeshu to sit in on a class, wanting to figure out exactly where the problem lay.

When he sat at the back of the classroom, watching Chen Laoshi lecture incessantly on the podium, he discovered that Chen Laoshi's teaching method was completely force-feeding style, not giving the children any opportunity to think or review. Xia Junshan couldn't help but frown, his heart full of doubt.

Taking advantage of the break, Xia Junshan actively sought out Chen Laoshi to communicate. He tried to keep his tone gentle, saying: "Teacher Chen, I feel your teaching pace could slow down a little, give the children more time to think. Only then can they better understand and master the knowledge."

Chen Laoshi, however, said with an impatient face: "What do you know? My teaching methods have been honed through years of practice; if your child can't keep up, who can that be blamed on? She simply lacks the aptitude."

Hearing this, a surge of anger rose in Xia Junshan's heart, but he still strove to suppress his emotions, saying: "Teacher Chen, you can't speak of a child like that; every child has their own characteristics and potential, we should encourage them more, not discourage them."

Unexpectedly, Chen Laoshi's attitude was vile; not only did she not accept Xia Junshan's suggestion, she went even further, saying: "Don't you point fingers here; I've taught for so many years, don't I know how to teach students? Your child is just no good."

Chen Laoshi's words were like a sharp blade, piercing Xia Junshan's heart. Although Xia Junshan had a very good temper, he could not accept his daughter being publicly humiliated by the teacher, to the point that the two quarreled fiercely in the office, and eventually even came to blows.

Their quarreling and fighting sounds alarmed all teachers and students; everyone gathered around, the scene a chaos.

Nan Li was busy working when she suddenly received a phone call, learning that Xia Junshan and Chen Laoshi had fought at Zeshu. She hurriedly put down her work and rushed over to resolve the problem.

Nan Li looked at the chaotic scene, a surge of anger rising in her heart. She sternly said to Chen Laoshi: "Teacher Chen, as a teacher, how can you treat students and parents like this? Your teaching method has problems, yet you refuse suggestions — is this the attitude a teacher should have?"

Chen Laoshi was rendered speechless by Nan Li's words, her face flushed red. Ultimately, at Song Jie's demand, Chen Laoshi had to proactively apologize to Xia Junshan and his daughter. Even though this matter was temporarily resolved, the video of the parent and teacher fighting was also uploaded online by others, and sparked heated discussion overnight.

Simultaneously, the video of Song Jie berating Yan Zi You somehow also spread online. As the masses questioned Zeshu Education's methods, public opinion quickly converged on the cram school industry's short-sighted force-feeding teaching.

Someone even dug up Song Jie's personal resume and the reason he left Fengfan Primary School at the time. For a moment, Zeshu fell into a massive public opinion crisis. Parents discussed heatedly, harboring serious doubts about Zeshu's teaching quality and teacher caliber.

Song Jie, however, did not care at all about the negative public opinion online. He thought with a face full of disdain that netizens are all bandwagoners; after a while no one will remember. Facing reporters' cameras, he even brazenly expounded on his own teaching insights.

He looked composed and talked eloquently: "I have rich experience and unique methods in teaching. I believe that as long as we persist in high-quality teaching, we will certainly cultivate outstanding students. As for those parents who want to withdraw, Zeshu has always been magnanimous — full refunds — because we never lack students."

Song Jie's words not only failed to calm public opinion, but intensified the conflict. His arrogant attitude aroused the anger of many parents, and also drew the attention of relevant departments. The relevant departments decided to conduct a special investigation into Zeshu, to ascertain whether Zeshu has problems in teaching management and other aspects.

Yan Peng and Tian Yulan fell into a cold war because of this incident. Yan Peng believed Tian Yulan was too radical on the child's education issues, while Tian Yulan considered herself blameless and simply would not listen to Yan Peng's advice. She stubbornly believed that only by making the child continuously study hard could there be a beautiful future.

Before long, Tian Yulan suddenly received news that Zeshu was being investigated. She instantly panicked; as a student parent in the online video, to prevent the Gold Medal Class from disbanding and affecting Yan Zi You's studies, Tian Yulan immediately went to find Nan Li.

She anxiously said: "Nan Li, Zeshu is being investigated, what do we do? We have to find a way to pull her into a meeting with Song Jie, quickly eliminate the negative online impact, otherwise if the Gold Medal Class disbands, Zi You's studies will be affected."

Originally, Nan Li and Xia Junshan had already planned to take the children on an outing; they were full of anticipation for this rare holiday, and the children were also excited, looking forward to the coming happy times.

However, seeing Tian Yulan's anxious appearance, Nan Li and Xia Junshan, though helpless at heart, had no choice but to cancel the holiday.

The couple accompanied Tian Yulan to make an appointment with Song Jie. At the meeting place, the atmosphere appeared somewhat tense.

Seeing Nan Li and them, Song Jie showed not the slightest gratitude, still speaking coldly to Nan Li. He slightly raised his chin, arrogantly saying: "Hmph, what are you here for? I already said, those online things are trivial, after a while no one will remember."

Tian Yulan frowned and said: "Manager Song, the situation is already very serious now, relevant departments are investigating Zeshu, you can't be this dismissive."

Song Jie, however, thought nothing of it; he crossed his arms before his chest, saying confidently: "I firmly believe this wave of trouble will pass quickly, because Zeshu's results are the brand. You also don't think — how many parents break their heads trying to send their kids to Zeshu? If Xia Huanhuan withdraws this time, finding anyone later will be useless; Zeshu definitely won't accept her again."

Nan Li and Xia Junshan exchanged a glance, feeling anger and helplessness at Song Jie's attitude, while Tian Yulan grew even more anxious, not knowing what to do.
