Chapter 165: Just a basic step

'Mr. Zhou Ming, you really deserve to be called someone who has returned from abroad. Your insight and ability to handle this situation are amazing. Mr. Zhou Ming, you don't even know that these finance students usually have their tails up in the air, looking down on others with their noses. Only you can tame them.'

Leaving the classroom of the finance class and walking in the corridor of the building, the college secretary chattered to Zhou Ming, his tone full of emotion and disbelief.

He wasn't just blowing smoke up Zhou Ming's butt, but genuinely felt that Zhou Ming's performance today was amazing. Although he had obtained Zhou Ming's information a long time ago and knew about Zhou Ming's exploits, those were after all things that remained on paper. It was indeed a bit difficult for an official within the system to understand the power of creating a financial system and to understand how these systems laid the foundation for the domestic economic system.

Of course, on the other hand, the figure of Zhou Ming's 100 billion earned in Northern Russia really scared him, but then he thought about it and it was a game at the national level, and he was relieved. He didn't know that such a huge fortune was actually earned by Zhou Ming himself in Northern Russia, and as long as Zhou Ming wanted, he could completely put this money into his own private pocket. Otherwise, he was afraid that just seeing Zhou Ming would make his tongue curl.

He was in a state of semi-understanding when he told the students in the finance class about Zhou Ming's exploits one after the other. In his opinion, he himself could be scared, and these students would definitely be no exception. However, the result was indeed no exception. These students were not only scared, but they even had a crazy effect of worshiping Zhou Ming.

I still remember at the end, Zhou Ming said very domineeringly that he would manage these students in his own way, and there would be no room for negotiation.

If this had happened in the past, these students would have exploded. Not to mention what they would have yelled at the scene, maybe some really hot-tempered students would have rushed up to fight, and even after the incident, some students would have complained about them to the higher-ups.

However, this time, these students did not display any extreme behaviour. Or rather, all their extreme behaviour was in chanting long live the class teacher, and they did not show even the slightest bit of dissatisfaction. If he had not personally brought Zhou Ming and the others here, the academy secretary would even have suspected that they had gone to the wrong classroom, because these finance class students were not the same type as those he had known before!

Zhou Ming just smiled slightly in response: 'Secretary, you're too kind. In fact, it seems to me that you're the one who did me the favour of introducing me here. If you hadn't introduced me like that, I'm afraid I wouldn't have achieved such results.'

Zhou Ming paused for a moment and then added: 'Besides, I'm also a proper Mainlander. I've just done a little something outside, so I can't be considered a foreigner.'

The college secretary said, 'Mr. Zhou Ming is really humble. In my opinion, you are the best gift from heaven to this country, a piece of gold and diamond that the country has dug deep to find!'

The secretary deliberately sighed and then said, 'I won't hide it from you, Mr. Zhou Ming. The country has also arranged for several class teachers for the finance class before. Among these people were senior officials from the central bank and a finance professor with considerable prestige in Binhai. However, none of them could control these students, and in the end, they all had to leave in disgrace one after the other. Only you, Mr. Zhou Ming, have conquered these students and made them willingly accept you as their class teacher.'

Facing such praise from the college secretary, Zhou Ming was very embarrassed and touched his nose. In his opinion, the secretary was worthy of being in the system, at least he had the skill to praise people without blushing or flinching and could say anything nice.

'In fact, I feel that the task before us now is how to arrange a good class management system. After all, we are going abroad, which is different from being a homeroom teacher in China.'

Zhou Ming knew that you had to be humble with this kind of person, and that he would be able to go on praising him even more enthusiastically, so Zhou Ming had to take the initiative to change the subject. However, there was one thing that Zhou Ming didn't say here, and that was that although these students had already recognised him as the class teacher, they only felt that he was qualified. These arrogant students were still a long way from truly accepting him.

The college secretary didn't pick up on it, or if he did, he didn't say anything. He just kept nodding in approval of Zhou Ming's words, saying that with Zhou Ming there were no difficulties.

They walked down the stairs, and the dean was still waiting there. When he saw Zhou Ming and the others coming down, he walked up to them. Without waiting for Zhou Ming to speak, he said to him, 'Comrade Zhou Ming, I can understand how you feel right now, but the students in the finance class are like this. They are very proud and will not allow just anyone to be their homeroom teacher. You are still young and have a long way to go. I hope this will not become an obstacle in your life.'

The dean's words left everyone stunned. The college secretary even asked him, 'Dean, what are you talking about? Mr. Zhou Ming has already announced in the finance class that he is the new homeroom teacher...'

Before the secretary could finish his sentence, the dean interrupted, 'I know, I heard it downstairs just now. The students in the class reacted very strongly, which is understandable. After all, Comrade Zhou Ming is still young, and those students in the finance class are the pride of the nation!'

After hearing the dean's words, Zhou Ming and the others all laughed. Only then did they understand why the dean had just said that. It was because he had heard the noisy movements of the finance class upstairs that he thought Zhou Ming, like the previous few homeroom teachers, had been rejected and opposed by the students.

In particular, the previous ones were all quite experienced, and now Zhou Ming is just a young man. Even the dean feels that this is a perfunctory attitude, not to mention the enthusiastic students, who will only resist him as the homeroom teacher with even more intense emotions than before.

Zhou Ming shook his head: It's true to think this way, but unfortunately this time it's the wrong direction.

'The dean is wrong!' The secretary hurriedly corrected him, saying, "Mr. Zhou Ming just announced in class that he is the new homeroom teacher, and the students in the finance class have already accepted him!'

The dean didn't react at first, and it wasn't until the secretary emphasized it a second time that he suddenly reacted. He widened his eyes in disbelief, looking at the secretary and asking, "What did you say? You're saying that Zhou Ming has been accepted by the finance class as the homeroom teacher? How is that possible?'

This time, before the secretary could say anything, Du Peng spoke first: 'Comrade Dean, there is nothing impossible about this. Whether you believe it or not, those students have been conquered by Zhou Ming, and now they have accepted Zhou Ming as their homeroom teacher.'

Du Peng had already been very dissatisfied with the rigid dean when he arrived. Now that he had the chance, Du Peng, who could not hold his tongue, of course had to get his revenge.

The dean ignored Du Peng's mockery and just marveled at Zhou Ming, 'This is incredible, Comrade Zhou Ming, how did you do it?'

'Comrade Dean, I don't think this question is important, because what we need is the result, not the process. And this finance class is also different from other special classes. The students accepting Zhou Ming as their homeroom teacher is just the most basic step. There are still many things to do, such as building the class system. I don't think we should be blindly optimistic yet. It's better to focus on the future construction. What do you think, Dean?'

After Du Peng, Su Han also expressed her dissatisfaction to the dean. Of course, compared to Du Peng's directness, Su Han's words were very tactful. After all, she has been the general manager of Factory 760 for almost a year, and she is no longer the little girl who knew nothing in the past. She understands very well Du Peng's identity and her own identity, which is destined to make her speak with great care.

The dean immediately nodded and said, 'That's right. This class is not an ordinary class. He is going to study abroad for further studies. Those selected into the class are all future pillars of the country. The construction of this class is definitely a top priority!'

The dean finally looked at Zhou Ming and asked, 'Comrade Zhou Ming, since you are now recognised by your classmates as the homeroom teacher, the important task of class construction will be presided over by you. We can now hold a meeting to discuss it. If Comrade Zhou Ming needs any help, I can provide it at any time.'

Zhou Ming did not get the chance to speak until then: 'Dean, you are too polite. I think this matter can be put aside for now. After all, the students have accepted me, but I still know too little about this class. And given the importance of this class, it is better to be cautious.'

The dean nodded and said, 'Comrade Zhou Ming is absolutely right. It is only right not to act rashly. I will leave this matter entirely to you.'

'Dean, please rest assured. Since the country has entrusted me with this task, I will definitely do my best to complete it,'

Zhou Ming told the dean, and finally shook the dean's hand before getting into the car and leaving the school. In the car, Su Han looked out the window at the scenery passing by and said to Zhou Ming, 'Zhou Ming, you are really amazing. I just don't like that dean. It's not like he's read many more books than the dean at Yanjing University. What's so great about him? In the end, it was still Zhou Ming who had to solve the problem.'

Zhou Ming laughed. He knew that Su Han was a little upset because she had not been able to go to university, but mostly she was just feeling aggrieved.

Su Han continued, 'Especially at the end, when you said that you wanted to take things slowly, he had no choice but to listen to you. If he's so capable, he should do it!'

Zhou Ming reached out and pinched Su Han's upturned little nose and said, 'But you're wrong. I didn't say that at the end to prove myself, but because I really don't think it's the right time yet.'

This made Su Han pause for a moment, and Du Peng, who was in front of him, turned back and asked, 'Zhou Ming, are you trying to say that the students in the finance class have not yet fully accepted you?'

Zhou Ming nodded and said, 'Yes, right now they only admire me because they have heard about my exploits, and it is just a temporary impulse. Once this enthusiasm has passed, it is hard to say whether they will continue to identify with me as their homeroom teacher who is the same age as them. Therefore, I need to continue to cultivate a relationship with them, and it would be best if I could be given the opportunity to truly enter their circle.'

Zhou Ming said this, looking out the window. At this time, he never imagined that the opportunity he mentioned would come so soon.
