She held the microphone while the teacher faced it, waving his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unity.... is.... strength.... sing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the word \"sing,\" the teachers inside the bus began singing in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng looked admiringly at the teacher who had started, her eyes full of respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teacher she admired felt a strong sense of being needed, sitting back down with a satisfied expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The song was quickly finished, and Jiang Cheng suggested singing another one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any doubt, Jiang Cheng was again pushed aside, and another teacher took the lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng transformed once more into a cheerleader, interacting with the whole bus, inviting one teacher to sing a duet, and another to dance together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone was observant, they would notice that Jiang Cheng only invited the slightly extroverted teachers, while those introverted and somewhat socially anxious sat quietly, going with the flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way back, due to the enthusiasm for singing, no one realized the bus had been driving for over an hour, far exceeding the time spent going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the singing ended, Jiang Cheng transformed into \"Ten Thousand Whys,\" humbly seeking advice from the teachers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asking the history teacher about history, the etiquette teacher about etiquette, and the language teacher about language.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In every teacher’s familiar field, as the questions got answered, they became more and more relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like returning to a classroom with free speech and heated discussions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the bus stopped, everyone still felt a bit unsatisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have arrived, teachers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng assisted each teacher off the bus, reminding and advising them where their rooms were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After helping the last teacher, Jiang Cheng transformed into a volunteer water delivery person, starting to deliver water and hot water bags to every room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the hot water bags, Jiang Cheng requested Director Leng to approve them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiming to spend the director’s money, not her own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this busy session, Jiang Cheng returned to her room, already past eleven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quietly washed up outside, trying not to make a sound as she went back into the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng tiptoed, bent down, and moved her head little by little, feeling like a sneaky thief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teacher Qi opposite wasn’t asleep at all, but she didn’t intend to expose Jiang Cheng’s kind intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng quietly climbed into bed, tucked herself in, and went to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, many teachers felt a tiny bit less stressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Jiang Cheng, they felt needed, as if they were still valuable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding onto this curiosity, the night passed quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Jiang Cheng got up, more than two-thirds of the teachers were already awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around five in the morning, all twenty teachers were up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bus would come to pick them up at six, with just an hour to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng decided to organize all the teachers to stand on the open ground outside the guest house, in four rows with five people each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She led at the very front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone follow me, one two three four, five six seven eight, two two three four, five six seven eight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Jiang Cheng’s leadership, the improved fitness routine began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, many teachers were shy to do it, but couldn’t resist Jiang Cheng’s enthusiasm burning for all twenty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time the bus came, the teachers were able to do it skillfully, even starting to get addicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Learning a new move felt impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing everyone’s lingering desire, Jiang Cheng’s lips curved slightly upwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is this, the square dance of the future is famous worldwide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, she hasn’t added music yet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the morning exercise, all the teachers were energetic, a stark contrast to yesterday’s somber atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bus headed to the guest house, arriving in under half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Leng had not yet approached when he saw the teachers in groups of three, pairs, discussing passionately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected of seasoned teachers, each so dedicated, discussing the syllabus so attentively.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Leng smiled as he walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is swinging arms back? What kind of new question type is thirty-degree foot lifting?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Director Leng’s bewilderment, Jiang Cheng waved and greeted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good morning, Director Leng!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Leng looked at Jiang Cheng, no need to ask, this must be Jiang Cheng’s doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are they discussing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The foundation of the revolution.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng spoke earnestly, seeing Director Leng even more confused, she simply explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The body is the foundation of the revolution; without good health, how can we manage, so we started with a morning exercise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Director Leng, I’d like to apply for some funds for our morning exercise, we’re feeling something’s missing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Leng clicked his tongue, making sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yesterday applying for microphones, hot water bags, today what next?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng was quite innocent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Leng, considering our relationship, if I were to mislead you, I’d feel uneasy, so I decided to be honest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah———\" Jiang Cheng deliberately sighed, continuing, \"Who knew, being a good person is so hard, guess I won’t tell the truth——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, I’ll give it to you! You go write the application——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Leng hurriedly interrupted Jiang Cheng, this little ancestor whose family lived on tricks, what else could he do!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng immediately, smiling, took out a pre-written application from her backpack and handed it to Director Leng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trouble you, the pen is here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Leng glared at the filled-out form, almost wishing to poke two holes in it, his teeth nearly grinding out sparks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t it agreed not to mislead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about integrity? What about mutual trust?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seriously suspected the prior conversation was just a part of Jiang Cheng’s deceit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng chuckled, without a hint of embarrassment, \"I just know Director Leng is dedicated to education, foresighted, with a heart for cultivating talents for the country, someone with your vision would surely agree; I’m mainly saving some time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not saving for myself, mainly for education.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Leng signed his name, listening as Jiang Cheng finished her flattery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why not listen, he earned it with his being tricked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After signing, Director Leng waved Jiang Cheng away, \"Go quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roger that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng, with her backpack, quickly ran to catch up with the front teachers, entering the canteen together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Leng called over Xiao Zhao, asking about the teachers’ morning activities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing, Director Leng didn’t feel so bad, the group clearly displayed a change from their previous state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad, follow Jiang Cheng’s arrangement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Zhao took the task and headed to prepare, while Director Leng looked forward to the transformation of the teachers after today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forty minutes later, after breakfast, the teachers and Jiang Cheng were listening to Mr. Zhao arranging the day’s tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This morning, we’ll arrange for an on-site assessment of the trainees, teachers will board the bus, and you’ll soon learn how to evaluate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1214,"2026-06-03T05:46:21.788Z",1,"novelbin.me","5a7e627f64385cf82ef156a3616d03c8ffb8da5e0c051401284092b8b1705df6","rich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-chapter-288","rich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-chapter-189",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-cover.jpg"]
