"Anyway, if you still need help, just ask." Duan Zhanlong said.
The only thing Xia Qingchen needed help with at the moment was students. With Duan Zhanlong's connections, it was actually easy to introduce ten students, but he didn't open his mouth.
"Mr. Xia has nowhere to go, how about staying at my house temporarily?" Duan Zhanlong persuaded.
Xia Qingchen hesitated and said: "A friend has prepared to stay with me, so I didn't dare to disturb the city lord. After the video recording was over, Xia left."
"Okay, if you need help, come to me anytime." Duan Zhanlong smiled.
The father and daughter sent Xia Qingchen away from the city lord.
Duan Xiaoqing frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, why can't someone do it to the end? Since we have found a teaching place for him, why not help him find a source of students?"
"Given Teacher Xia's current situation, it may not be easy to gather ten students in three days." Duan Xiaoqing said, "Father just needs to open his mouth, and some local nobles will recommend members of their clan to Teacher Xia."
Duan Zhanlong looked at Xia Qingchen's back with his hands behind his back and sighed softly: "It's not easy to be a good person."
"Do you think Mr. Xia will be able to successfully run the college?" Duan Zhanlong looked far away: "What if it fails? His spiritual life is lost, so it is a loss. I don't feel bad."
"But what if I recommend past students? What should they do? The college has failed and their teaching has not been successful. How should they explain to their elders?"
Although Duan Xiaoqing is young, he has lived in the city lord's palace for a long time and has been immersed in it. He actually knows a lot about the world's ways.
She stood there for a long time and said silently: "Dad, you don't have confidence in Teacher Xia?"
Duan Zhanlong shook his head: "No!"
He was very decisive and had no hesitation.
"How many academies are there in the world? There are no less than a hundred academies in Tianxing City alone, but apart from Tianxing Academy, how many have achieved success?" Duan Zhanlong said: "None of them."
"Compared to Tianxing Academy, the talents produced by other academies are not even a fraction of it." Duan Zhanlong said: "Almost all small academies are struggling to survive."
"If we cannot recruit outstanding students, we will not be able to produce outstanding talents. Without outstanding talents, we will not have outstanding students willing to come. Such a vicious cycle will sooner or later lead to closure."
Duan Xiaoqing was silent.
Indeed, although Tianxing Academy seems to be at the bottom of the entire Maple Leaf Kingdom, it is the unshakable overlord in Tianxing City.
Those small academies are not even comparable to the hair on their head.
Only those students who have been eliminated by Tianxing Academy and cannot afford to study in other academies will go to those small academies when they have no choice but to do so.
In addition to the shortage of students in small academies, there are also very few excellent teachers. Those students who have some qualifications are also destined to be buried.
The situation of Tianxing Academy and other small academies presents a polarized situation.
Xia Qingchen wants to make a small academy bigger, but the possibility of success is really very low.
"With my connections, it used to be easy to recommend a few students, but the possibility of them returning home is very low. Once this happens, I will owe something to the families of those students and owe them a favor."
"And the hardest thing in the world to repay is a favor."
Duan Xiaoqing nodded, understanding his father's intention.
She believed that as long as her father opened his mouth, those families would still send some of their children there for her father's sake, even if they knew that Xia Qingchen's academy would fail.
If they learn well, the disciples will gain something.
If they fail along the way, the city lord owes them a favor.
As far as the interests of a family are concerned, this is a business that is not a loss at all.
That's why Duan Zhanlong was so cautious and didn't speak easily.
"It is estimated that his academy will need to be completed next month." Duan Zhanlong said: "Recently, you have been consolidating your cultivation at home. From now on, you will be a genius in the mid-month position."
Duan Xiaoqing rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Where else can I go?"
Before she finished speaking, she rolled her eyes slightly.
Let’s talk about Xia Qingchen.
As soon as they left the city lord's mansion, they received contact from Lin Qiunian.
"I have a moment, do you want to give me some advice?" Lin Qiunian still had the same cold tone.
"What's the matter?" But Xia Qingchen knew that Lin Qiunian would not come to him if nothing happened.
Lin Qiu thought, "Since you've been fired, just settle down to your job as a police officer. There are some cases here that you need to handle."
"Another pending case?" Xia Qingchen refused: "I don't have the energy for the moment."
Those unsolved cases were too mentally draining, and he didn't want to spend too much time on them.
"No, it's a security case." Lin Qiu thought, "Be right back."
Who can't handle ordinary cases, so why should we look for Xia Qingchen?
After thinking for a moment, Xia Qingchen smiled and said, "Can't this woman find another way to help people?"
Lin Qiunian was trying to find something for Xia Qingchen to do, so as to ease his depression after being expelled.
He obviously cares about people, but he always does so in an indifferent tone.
The mouth is cold, but the heart is hot.
Return to the police hall.
Within the ninth detachment, the other three detachments were very busy, but Xia Qingchen's detachment was extremely quiet.
Xiaoqian was lying on the table, holding her chin with both hands, looking dryly at her busy colleagues, but nothing happened to her.
She is in sharp contrast to the busyness around her!
She had nothing to do and no one to call her.
Now, who dares to call Xia Qingchen's people?
Although Xia Qingchen rarely came to the police station and had no cases at hand, everyone respected him extremely.
Xiaoqian's status in the police station has also increased. No matter the new police officers or the veteran police officers, they all take good care of her. No one dares to show their stupidity to her.
It's just that this is too boring.
While she was staring blankly at the sky, Xiaoqian suddenly saw the outline of a person in her eyes. At first she was stunned, but then she suddenly stood up and ran forward to greet him in surprise: "Mr. Xia...Vice Captain!"
With an exclamation, everyone in the busy ninth detachment immediately turned their heads and looked around. They all dropped what they were doing and gathered around.
They were chattering around Xia Qingchen as if they were looking at exotic beasts.
Some were saying hello, some were asking about the aftermath of the prince's recruitment, and some were asking about his current situation.
The whole scene was noisy. Xia Qingchen asked them to disperse several times, but couldn't resist their enthusiasm and couldn't disperse.
"Aren't you busy anymore?" It wasn't until a cold voice came that made them frightened that they lowered their heads and dispersed, not daring to continue to watch.
Lin Qiunian walked in from the outside with his hands behind his back. He came straight to Xia Qingchen and said straight to the point: "There are a group of newly arrested prisoners in the prison. They are in Cell No. 9. Go and deal with them."
Xia Qingchen nodded, and Xiaoqian followed closely: "I'll take notes."
Xiaoqian is more proficient in police affairs than Xia Qingchen. After all, Xia Qingchen's stay in the police palace does not exceed five days in total...
