Chapter 23 Inviting Dr. Qian to Return to Huang Class

The next day, the students in the Yellow Class gathered in the academy's square to discuss their predicament.

"We should take action and not let Dr. Qian leave us like this," said Jiang Zhiyu.

"But I think Dr. Qian's teaching level is really average." Xu Guokun said calmly. "Mengmeng, why are you so obsessed with Dr. Qian?" Xu Guokun looked at Liu Mengmeng in confusion, "Do you think his teaching level can really satisfy us?"

Liu Mengmeng answered firmly: "Guokun, you don't know that Dr. Qian's teaching method is completely different from our current teachers. He is good at inspiring our thinking and allowing us to truly understand the essence of learning."

Qi Zimo on the side interrupted and said, "But Guokun is right. Dr. Qian's level is indeed average. The students in our Huang class are all elites from all over the place. We should have better teaching staff."

Jiang Zhiyu pondered for a while, then said, "I think we can invite Dr. Qian back to teach for a while and see how effective his teaching is before making a decision."

"Yes!" Liu Mengmeng agreed immediately, "We can let Dr. Qian give us a lesson so that he can personally experience our progress."

Zou Ting asked doubtfully, "Then how can we get these teachers to agree to let Dr. Qian come back to teach for a trial?"

At this time, Zhang Anjie stood up and said, "I think we should make suggestions to our superiors and ask them to consider our needs."

"I think Anjie's suggestion is good. We can unite and express our demands to our superiors," said Kang Yining.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

So, the disciples of Huang Ban began to take action. They wrote a joint letter to express their demands to their superiors.

A few days later, Shangguan Siye summoned the disciples of Huang Ban and expressed his willingness to listen to their opinions.

"What do you think of Dr. Qian's teaching level?" Shangguan Siye asked.

Everyone spoke and expressed their views.

"Although Dr. Qian's teaching level is average, his care and guidance for us are irreplaceable," said Jiang Zhiyu.

"We respect every teacher, but we also need to consider our own learning needs," said Liu Mengmeng.

Shangguan Siye listened carefully to everyone's opinions and said, "I understand your concerns. I will consider your demands and find a suitable solution, but it still depends on whether you can impress Dr. Qian."

"But who among us knows Dr. Qian?" Jiang Zhiyu looked at Liao Zhen, who smiled slightly and said, "I can tell you about Dr. Qian."

Liao Zhen recalled: "Dr. Qian was not a talentless person. He was once well-known in Jingdong Town. His profound knowledge made people admire him. However, he failed to pass the examination for many years and spent all his family's wealth. He had no choice but to come to the Imperial College to teach."

Jiang Zhiyu asked: "What about his personality?"

Liao Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Dr. Qian is a loner, but he is a good person. He teaches and educates people with all his heart. But he has unspeakable pain in his heart, which is why he has not been able to pass the examination for many years."

Liu Mengmeng said worriedly: "Will he accept our invitation?"

Liao Zhen smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. Let's go talk to him in person. I believe he will agree."

Dr. Qian's hometown is an ancient house with flowers and plants in the yard, which is neat and quiet. When Jiang Zhiyu and others arrived at the door of Dr. Qian's house, a thin layer of dust fell on the stone lions in front of the door, which looked a little lonely.

A group of ten people came to Dr. Qian's door, tidied their clothes a little, and then rang the doorknocker.

Soon, the door slowly opened, and a white-haired old man appeared in front of everyone. His eyes were deep, and his face was engraved with traces of time. That was Dr. Qian. When he saw everyone, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Zhiyu took the lead and stepped forward, saying respectfully, "Dr. Qian, we are students of the Huang class of the Imperial College. We specially come to invite you to return to the Imperial College to teach us."

Dr. Qian looked at them, was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "I am just a poor scholar who failed to pass the examination. What qualifications do I have to teach you?"

Liu Mengmeng said hurriedly, "Dr. Qian, you misunderstood. We don't look down on you. On the contrary, we all admire your knowledge and character. It is precisely because we have encountered difficulties and cannot answer our doubts in learning that we want to ask you to come back and help us."

Xiao Wen also said: "Dr. Qian, we have all heard of your reputation in Jingdong Town. Your knowledge and conduct are both examples for us to learn from. Please consider our request."

Dr. Qian looked at them, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes. At this time, Zhang Anjie stepped forward, handed over a box of exquisite fruits and a basket of cakes, and said, "Dr. Qian, this is a little gift from us, please accept it."

Dr. Qian was silent for a moment, struggling in his heart. He was surprised and touched by the requests of these students. He originally thought that they only came to ask him for advice to cope with their studies. But he did not expect that they actually admired his knowledge and character.

At this time, Zhang Anjie stood up and said sincerely: "Dr. Qian, we, the students in the Huang class, have encountered difficulties in our studies and would like to ask you for advice. We know that you have taught in the Imperial College for many years and are knowledgeable. You are a role model in our hearts. Please be merciful and help us solve our doubts."

Zhang Anjie's heart was full of anticipation. Like other students, he had admiration in his eyes as he looked forward to Dr. Qian's answer.

Dr. Qian looked at Zhang Anjie, then glanced at the other students and found that they were all looking at him expectantly, with admiration in their eyes.

His heart softened, he sighed, and said, "Okay, I promise you, I will go back and teach you for a while."

When the students heard that Dr. Qian had agreed, they cheered and came forward to express their gratitude.

Zhang Anjie excitedly held Dr. Qian's hand, and Xu Guokun excitedly hugged him, expressing his gratitude.

"Dr. Qian, you are so kind! We will definitely study hard!" Xu Guokun said happily.

"Thank you, Dr. Qian. Your return is really a great encouragement to us!" Jiang Zhiyu was also very happy.

Dr. Qian looked at these students with a smile, and he also felt a warmth in his heart.

"Okay, okay, don't get excited. I promise you, I will try my best to teach you." Dr. Qian said gently.

The sincerity and respect of these young people gradually melted his frozen heart, which had been frozen for many years, and he felt a little relieved.

He did this not only to help them, but also to fulfill his own obsession.

The students became even more excited when they heard what Dr. Qian said. They gathered around Dr. Qian and began to ask about the course schedule and study plan.
