Chapter 422 I don't hire recent graduates, I only want retired old immortals.
Early the next morning.
The atmosphere in the newly paved central square of Jiangjia Village seemed somewhat unusual.
Five heavy-duty armored cash transport vehicles, all painted black with the four silver characters "Jiang's Security" painted on their bodies, exuding a metallic feel, stood in a row like five steel behemoths ready to pounce, reflecting a cold luster in the rising sun.
"Squeak—"
The rear cargo doors of several vehicles were all open.
Inside were not gold and silver jewelry destined for the bank, but bundles of brand-new banknotes, neatly sealed with red tape and exuding the scent of ink.
The bright red 100-yuan bills were piled up like a small mountain, almost overflowing from the carriage.
"Bang!"
Jiang Shitou, shirtless and revealing his rock-hard, dark muscles, carried a heavy sack and tossed it into the cargo compartment of one of the armored trucks as easily as throwing a bag of potatoes.
The sack opened, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash rolled out.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, grinned, and asked Jiang Chen, who was smoking next to him, with a simple smile.
"Brother Chen, I'm a little confused."
"Are we... planning to rob a bank? Or are we going to the city to buy people?"
Jiang Chen exhaled a smoke ring, patted the cold, hard metal of the armored truck, then turned around to face the hundreds of villagers and workers who had rushed to the square after hearing the news.
He picked up a megaphone and spoke loudly, his voice carrying to every corner of the village.
"Fellow villagers! Brothers!"
"Someone doesn't want the children of our Jiangjia Village to have the opportunity to go to school!"
"Some people are trying to scare all our teachers away with their city manners!"
"They just want to see our ancestors remain blind and illiterate, forever serving them like slaves!"
Jiang Chen's voice carried a hint of anger.
"Shall we agree or not?!"
"No way!!!"
In the square, hundreds of people, from white-haired elders to vigorous young people, almost simultaneously shouted out these three words with all their might.
The sound coalesced into a massive wave of noise, making people's eardrums buzz.
In the crowd, Chen Laoshi, who had just been called back from the construction site by Jiang Chen, was still holding a trowel covered in cement.
His usually honest and taciturn face was now flushed red, and he roared in his voice, which was somewhat hoarse from not speaking loudly for a long time:
"If anyone dares to interfere with my little Tiger's schooling, I... I'll fight them to the death!"
Jiang Chen looked at the group of villagers in front of him with satisfaction, their fighting spirit ignited.
He turned around and took a thick, printed list from Jiang Huixin's hand.
Jiang Huixin stayed up all night, her eyes were bloodshot, but she was unusually excited.
This list is a treasure she gathered through various connections.
—List of Retired Special-Grade Teachers, Education Experts, and Subject Leaders Nationwide (Unofficial Internal Version)
The list is filled with names that are household names.
There is a leading figure who has presided over the compilation of national primary school Chinese textbooks.
There is a legendary principal who has won the title of gold medal coach in the International Mathematical Olympiad.
There was even a master of Chinese studies who had served as a private history advisor to the top leader.
Attorney Zhou stood to the side, adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses. He glanced at the cover of the list and couldn't help but gasp.
Be nice!
This is not a list at all.
This is practically the "Avengers" of the Chinese education system!
Any one of these names would be a prized possession that top universities would be eager to cultivate.
This list carries far more weight than those truckloads of cash combined!
If we could really bring half of the people from the top schools to Jiangjia Village, then the educational level of Jiangjia Village Hope School would not only surpass the key schools in the provincial capital, but it would also be on par with the top universities in Beijing!
Jiang Chen quickly divided the thick list into five parts.
He handed the list and five car keys to Wang Dagou, Li Qiang, and several other of his most trusted and capable subordinates.
"The rules are very simple."
Jiang Chen's voice was firm and resolute, filled with unquestionable decisiveness.
"Split up and go to the addresses on the list to find these senior figures."
"When you meet someone, don't give me any nonsense about ideals or educational aspirations."
"We're just ordinary folks, we don't understand all that fancy stuff, let's go straight for the most direct and practical approach!"
Jiang Chen held up one finger, setting the first condition.
"Annual salary! One million! That's the minimum!"
"This is just the base salary; there's no upper limit to bonuses based on teaching performance!"
He then extended a second finger.
"As long as you come to our Jiangjia Village, there are newly built, fully furnished lake-view apartments of 200 square meters each on the back hill, just for free! The property deeds will be in their own names!"
Then comes the third one.
"If your spouse is willing to come with us, our village will take care of her in her old age and see her to her final rest! We'll also give her 10,000 yuan a month for nutrition! And all medical expenses, from colds and fevers to heart transplants, I, Jiang Chen, will cover them all!"
Finally, he clapped his hands.
"If they'd like to bring their grandchildren over, even better! I'll cover all tuition, fees, and living expenses from kindergarten to high school graduation! After graduation, if they're willing, they can directly join the Jiang Group as management trainees!"
Wang Dagou stood to the side, his mouth dry from listening, and he couldn't help but swallow hard.
Damn it, with these conditions, let alone hiring a teacher, even asking the Jade Emperor to descend to earth would probably tempt him!
He grabbed the list and keys, picked up the walkie-talkie in the car, and started shouting excitedly in his distinctively loud voice.
"Brothers in Group One! Did you all hear me?! Get in the car!"
"Today, even if we have to use an eight-person sedan chair, we will bring back every single one of these ancestors on the list to our Jiangjia Village!"
"Set off!"
With Jiang Chen's command.
"Waaaaah—waaaah—"
Five heavy armored armored trucks, loaded with cash and hope, simultaneously sounded their piercing alarms.
