Chapter 74: The Writing Club's Complete Explosion (Part 2)
Looking at Li Yuming's meaningful gaze, Su Jin still didn't speak. It wasn't that he was intentionally being profound, but rather he was pondering the true meaning behind Li Yuming's words.
If Su Jin were an ordinary student, he wouldn't need to guess what Li Yuming meant. Because Li Yuming wouldn't imply anything, the surface meaning of his words was his true intention. But Su Jin wasn't, this is a fact acknowledged by everyone. Su Jin also knew that Li Yuming wouldn't treat him as an ordinary student. So he needed to guess what Li Yuming meant, because in conversations between people of their status, many times they wouldn't take their own words at face value.
Sometimes these words can be listened to directly, sometimes they need to be listened to in reverse. As for whether it's direct or reverse listening, it depends on the specific problem and requires specific analysis. It is said that "the subtlety of movement lies in the mystery, and the truth lies in one's heart!" This relies on enlightenment!
"What does Li Yuming really mean? Is he taking the opportunity to express his dissatisfaction with the writing club? It shouldn't be, after all, he had reached an agreement with them about the writing club. Although the club has developed rapidly, it hasn't deviated from its path. In theory, he should only have good feelings about it, so why would he have any dissatisfaction?" Su Jin thought to herself.
Suddenly, Su Jin thought of Li Yuming's thoughtful gaze when he said "I heard that the writing club is profitable". A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, "That's it! It's this! It's not the development of the writing club that made Li Yuming dissatisfied, but the profit of the writing club gave Li Yuming an idea!"
After contacting Li Yuming, some teachers and students mentioned by him had opinions. Su Jin's heart suddenly became clear. In order to make the writing club develop better, Su Jin did not hide the profitable things of the writing club. When Liu Mei gave wages to the members, she deliberately chose a public occasion, just to maximize the impact.
Although the profit obtained by the writing club is not much, it's also not little. In this era, a teacher in a general school earns only about 300 yuan per month. Even Li Yuming's salary as principal would not exceed 500 yuan. As principal, even if Li Yuming was as clean as water and clear as a mirror, there would still be some gray income.
But for ordinary teachers, it basically doesn't exist. Teaching is a relatively closed profession. If you're a teacher at a key middle school, some parents might visit during holidays. But as a vocational school teacher, you can only rely on your basic salary to get by.
It's no wonder that some teachers have opinions about this. As a teacher, seeing their students earning almost the same salary as themselves every month, how can they be at peace? And it's not just one or two people! If the students' earnings are obtained through their hard work, then what is the logic behind the school's writing club taking 5,000 yuan from them every month? Moreover, everyone knows that this 5,000 yuan is just a test of the waters, and it can be predicted that soon this 5,000 yuan will become 10,000 or 20,000.
In the eyes of teachers at commercial schools, what writing clubs do is just organize students to write collectively. This is something they can easily do, and do it more properly, more reasonably, and more perfectly. If the profits of the writing club are distributed among the teachers of the commercial school, each person can get 300-400 yuan, which is equivalent to doubling everyone's salary!
If Su Jin's guess was not wrong, next, Li Yuming would mention the matter of taking over the writing club. Seriously, it might even become a thorough takeover of the writing club by the school administration. This is not Su Jin's malicious speculation, nor is it saying that Li Yuming has personal character problems. In fact, this kind of thing exists everywhere in society. Especially for those in politics, it's nothing out of the ordinary. Many times, taking credit for someone else's work doesn't mean that the person doing it has a bad character. Many times, it's also not something they can control.
As a mixed political person, everyone has his own faction. Big people have big factions, small people have small factions. Leaders are no exception! Each leader has his own supported leaders and also has his own subordinates who support him. The union of superiors and inferiors becomes a faction. Subordinates support their leaders because the leaders can bring them benefits. And leaders maintain their subordinates, relying on the support of their subordinates to truly achieve command and control everything.
Many times, leaders can represent their subordinates. The number of subordinates a leader represents means the amount of power he has. However, there are also times when subordinates can influence leaders, especially when many subordinates have the same intention. If a leader ignores his subordinates' intentions, it is very likely that he will be abandoned by his own subordinates. After all, no subordinate will rely on a leader who cannot bring benefits to himself.
Li Yuming, as the principal of the school, can be said to be the leader of the school. The many teachers are his subordinates. If many teachers are dissatisfied with the writing club and demand a share of the profits, it is difficult for him as a leader to refuse this request. You can speak eloquently to outsiders, but you cannot do so to your own subordinates. This is no longer an era where people only talk about dedication; now people care about tangible benefits. If you continue to do so, you will only be scolded by many teachers for being pretentious! Afterwards, they will abandon you and find another principal who can maintain their interests!
It's easy to find people like that! Li Yuming, although he started as a teacher, had already left the front line at the age of 20. After 20 years in the officialdom, this principle is naturally understood. His prestige in the business school is indeed very high, but if most teachers in the business school have this idea, then as the principal, he can only keep pace with his subordinates.
If Su Jin's prediction was correct, then Li Yuming would bring up the matter of intervening in Shang Xiang's school. But what made Su Jin puzzled was that he knew Li Yuming had always paid enough attention to the Writing Club, and he believed that Li Yuming already understood the internal workings of the club.
He should know that the writing club, which seems to be effortlessly profitable, actually relies on many professional skills. For example, Su Zhen's training for club members and his definition of topics for the assembly line are all indispensable factors in the success of the assembly line. Even some of the rules set by Su Zhen, which seem meaningless at first glance, have a hidden meaning that he can vaguely feel.
He should know that Su Jin lost the writing club, although it can be said that he was greatly injured, but with his current status, he can still bear it, and at most, he will spend one or two years rebuilding a new one. Of course, this will seriously hinder Su Jin's plan and may even cause immeasurable losses.
But if the writing club loses Su Jian, it's probably really losing its soul. Even if it can still maintain a period of prosperity at that time, I believe it will soon decline. Now he is so openly and brazenly taking by force, isn't he afraid of pushing himself to desperation, only to end up with nothing?
In fact, this is also the reason why Su Jin has always been fearless. In fact, it's easy to deal with smart people because they can see through everything and calculate gains and losses. If you encounter that kind of reckless person who doesn't care about anything, even if Su Jin calculates everything, he might still be caught off guard!
"Given the increasing influence of the Writing Club in the Business School, the school felt that it should strengthen its management. Therefore, after discussion by the school, it was decided to dispatch teachers to participate in the specific management of the Writing Club." As expected, Li Yuming said so.
Li Yuming finished speaking, and a pair of sharp eyes stared at Su Jin's face, not missing any expression. Contrary to Li Yuming's expectations, there was no reaction on Su Jin's face, neither anger nor resentment. On the contrary, a hint of mockery and "as expected" appeared in his eyes.
"Since the school has already made its decision, I don't have anything else to say. That's it." Su Jin said calmly. Although he had expected this, Su Jin couldn't hide his anger and disappointment in his heart. He just tried not to show it on his face. After finishing speaking, Su Jin turned around and walked out the door, he didn't want to stay here for another moment.
Understanding is one thing, but understanding doesn't mean not being angry! Su Jian was worried that if he stayed here for another second, he wouldn't be able to bear it and would punch Li Yuming's seemingly upright face! Let this guy take a good look at what it means to be a proud Su Shao!
