187: Want to break up

Qian Yonglu said, "The most basic thing I'll teach you here is how to make Coal Cards. If you can learn this, your future employment will be secure.

Currently, there's still a shortage of people who can make Coal Cards. If you know how to make them, you can be directly employed by the Government.

Everyone knows that the Tianlong Republic offers excellent salaries and benefits to Card Makers, but you should also know that not all Card Makers can be employed by the Tianlong Republic."

After he finished speaking, quite a few students were swayed.

In fact, many parents believe that sending their children to the academy is for them to find better jobs after graduation.

Many companies offer preferential treatment to academy graduates.

Some students, like their parents, thought the same way. By learning to make Coal Cards, they could directly secure a Government job, which was quite good.

Qian Yonglu continued.

"In fact, Coal Cards can be further optimized later on. If anyone can create a Coal Card with higher utilization, the Government will also offer a reward, a reward that will ensure you live a life of comfort and abundance."

After he said this, some students were even more tempted and decided to choose Teacher Qian's course.

Qian Yonglu said, "Actually, I know you might think coal could be phased out later, but I want to tell you that coal still has significant development potential.

Currently, the visible direction for us is to transform the form of coal to improve its utilization and find more uses for it."

Qian Yonglu's lesson managed to win over many students' hearts... In fact, from their classes, it was clear that Bai Shan and Bai Xiaobai wanted top geniuses, while Xia Tian and Qian Yonglu needed ordinary geniuses.

This was akin to these four Card Making Masters competing against each other in pairs.

As for the outcome, it would depend on which teacher's elective course the students chose after seven days.

Li Xuangan observed the four teachers' internal competition, and he also reported this matter to Mr. Qi Hao.

Mr. Qi Hao's attitude towards this matter was not to interfere with the actions of the four Card Making Masters.

He even hoped that the students could learn more from these masters, effectively 'draining' these teachers... "Oh, it's so difficult, I don't know which teacher's class to choose."

"Don't forget, we're participating in a competition. With our abilities, we should still choose between Teacher Xia and Teacher Qian."

"Okay, then which of the two should we choose?"

"Our group happens to have 5 people, let's vote."

This suggestion was unanimously approved by the 5 members of the group. Each took out a piece of paper, wrote one of the teachers' names on it, and handed it to the leader.

"Teacher Xia, one vote."

"Teacher Qian, one vote."

"Teacher Xia, another vote."

"Teacher Qian, one vote, and Teacher Qian, another vote. Alright, the answer is revealed: our group will choose Teacher Qian's class for the afternoon elective."

After the answer was out, the group members began discussing among themselves, asking each other which teacher they chose and why.

Ultimately, Teacher Qian's promise of a 'stable job' led them to choose him.

Indeed, the end of the universe is taking competitive exams... Teams with an odd number of members were relatively easy to make decisions, but for teams with an even number of members, their choices were difficult to make.

So, they sought out Teacher Li, the person in charge of the intensive training camp.

"Are you trying to break up now and form new teams with others?"

"Yes, our ideas are different, and neither of us can convince the other. We just want to choose the courses we each want to study, and then find new people to team up with for the competition. Is that allowed?"

"Yes, yes, actually, we also wanted to give up Teacher Xia's class and choose Teacher Bai's class, but we really don't have the ability; we wouldn't learn well."

"Okay, I understand your thoughts. I need to think about this."

After dealing with this team of students, Li Xuangan pondered for a moment.

Recently, three or four teams had approached him, expressing their desire to re-form teams, but this was not something that could be decided casually.

If he didn't allow the teams to split, then some people would certainly be forced to give up the courses they wanted to study, which might waste a month of the intensive training camp.

However, many teams already had a certain tacit agreement, were familiar with each other, and could help each other to achieve good results in the competition.

If he allowed the teams to split, everyone could choose the elective courses they wanted, which was excellent.

However, choosing how to select team members would be very troublesome. Afterwards, everyone might want to join the team of capable individuals, while less capable people might not find a team to join.

At the same time, if new team members were chosen, a month might not be enough time to build rapport. They might even argue midway and re-form teams again, and in the end, some students might not even form a team.

Both choices had their pros and cons, so this decision was difficult to make.

Got it!

He who tied the bell must untie it.

At this time, he needed to call the four of them together to discuss... So, Li Xuangan gathered Bai Shan, Xia Tian, Qian Yonglu, and Bai Xiaobai for a meeting.

"Which option do you think is better for the students?"

After Li Xuangan explained the situation to the four, he asked for their opinions.

Bai Shan said, "We cannot let them mess around. Our intensive training camp is for the competition a month from now. If we let them re-form teams, they won't learn well, nor will they form good teams."

Xu Bai nodded, agreeing with Bai Shan.

"I agree with Master Bai. Allowing them to re-form teams at this point will only make things worse and affect their studies."

Qian Yonglu said, "Yes, yes, there's still a long time for future learning, and we all know how important this competition is, otherwise why would the Tianlong Republic organize this intensive training camp?"

Xia Tian initially thought both options were fine, but gradually, she was persuaded by the three in front of her.

So, she also agreed, saying, "Yes, our main goal now is for them to learn. We shouldn't let their minds be preoccupied with interacting with people; time is still very tight."

With all four agreeing, Li Xuangan decided that students could not re-form teams.

He later informed all the students of this decision. Although some students were a little sad, there was no major unrest.

Over the past few days, students, in their teams, moved between the four teachers' classrooms, trying to find the most suitable courses for their teams to study.
