"Uncle Xu, how's the recruitment of teachers going? Also, how's the registration of new students going?"

Fang Yuan sat in the principal's office and asked Xu Zhiyu.

Although Xu Zhiyu was old and did not have much of an authority on young teachers, he had sufficient teaching management experience.

Things like these could be handled in an orderly manner.

This made Fang Yuan feel at ease.

"Principal Fang, things are going much smoother than expected. Currently, our school has a total of 2,280 students, including 702 first year students, 728 second year students, and 850 third year students."

"There are 233 teachers in the team, and a total of 101 new teachers have applied this time. Other than the 33 who are in teaching management positions, the rest are all first-class teachers and above."

"Among them, 19 are special-class teachers and 72 are first-class. The rest are college graduates. More than two-thirds of the top ten college teachers graduated from the country. Among them, there are eight foreign teachers from the United States who are in charge of teaching English and scientific subjects, and two foreign teachers from the United Kingdom who are in charge of teaching arts."

Following Xu Zhiyu's report, the system gradually appeared in Fang Yuan's mind.

[Overall rating: c.]

[rating Scale: D, C, B, a, S, SS, SSS.]

Then, there was a notification.

[Congratulations, host, for completing the mission: New Student Recruitment.]

[Reward: Summon all of the talents in the World + 1.]

[Prerequisite 2 (unlocked): Hold an unforgettable opening ceremony for all teachers and students.]

[Do you accept?]

This reminded Fang Yuan.

Previously, when he placed the statue of Confucius, there was an active skill that he did not use.

[All talents of the world].

The effect was that he could summon cultural celebrities from parallel worlds, but he had not thought about who he would summon at that time.

Now, the system had issued the mission for the opening ceremony.

Fang Yuan had a clear idea in his mind.

The first celebrity he was going to summon was a famous essayist, scientist, and materialist philosopher from the English Renaissance period.

Whether it was in the east or the west. Whether it was at home or abroad. In any campus, there would be a portrait of him, along with a thought-provoking quote below the portrait:

"Knowledge is power!"

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for summoning a world-famous person: Francis Bacon (1561-1626).]

A white light flashed in front of his eyes.

An English gentleman wearing a bowler hat, appeared in front of Fang Yuan.

"Dear Principal Fang, good afternoon. It's a pleasure to meet you. It's also an honor to be appointed to Yun Ding High School."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Bacon."

Fang Yuan had read Bacon's biography and knew that he was an extraordinary genius. He had entered Cambridge University at the age of twelve. At a young age, he had served as the Queen's Special Counsel, the Court's chief prosecutor, and as the Imperial Seal Minister. Although he was later expelled from the palace due to political struggles, he made use of his experience of being exiled... as it allowed Bacon to focus on his studies and think about philosophical issues.

He wrote a lot of books throughout his life.

His prose, which was beautiful and powerful, affected generations after generations of people.

There were even many essays on learning that were selected as compulsory texts for Chinese primary and secondary school students.

What Fang Yuan wanted was his ability as an essayist and speaker.

[Name: Francis Bacon.]

[Age: 42.]

[Specialty: Prose, Speech, Philosophy.]

[Suitable position: Middle management.]

Almost at the same time that the profile page of the character card appeared in the system.

Fang Yuan reached out his hand and tightly shook Bacon's hand, expressing the welcome of Yun Ding High School. "Mr. Bacon, I invite you to be the Dean of the first years.

"Next is the new school year. I will hold the opening ceremony in the main hall of the main academic building,

"Mr. Bacon, you will be the guest speaker on the stage.

"The theme is 'Persuading students.' Oh, I have a manuscript here for your reference."

Francis Bacon nodded heavily. "Thank you, Principal Fang. I won't disappoint you."

...

It was September 1st. The opening ceremony was held as scheduled.

All the teachers and students arrived at the venue one after another.

The auditorium of the main school building was quite grand. Even if two to three thousand students and teachers gathered together, they would only occupy the central audience area in the middle.

The baroque-style decorations were not only on the exterior, the circular dome inside was also like the cathedral ceiling with Michelangelo's paintings.

"Did you know? Our school has become an internet sensation!"

"Yeah, Douyin has more than five million views and more than 500,000 likes. It's the number one topic in the country. No school has ever reached this level."

"Now, everyone who uses social media will be automatically recommended our school."

"A few of my mom's good friends came over to borrow my student card. They wanted to sneak into our school to take a look."

"Sneak into the school?"

"I'm afraid this will be more difficult. Did you attend the safety Training Class A few days ago?"

"It's said that in the school's public area and the four gates in the North, South, East, and West, a comprehensive surveillance camera and face recognition system has been installed to fully protect the personal and property safety of the teachers and students."

"This is too amazing. I feel that if I don't study hard, it would be unworthy of the school's efforts!"

The opening ceremony had yet to begin, and there was a flurry of discussion below.

Many students had expressed their desire to study hard. On one hand, it was a blessing from the system, and on the other hand, it was their true feelings.

However, the students from Yun Ding High School had been selected by other schools.

There were still some mischievous students.

This was also the focus of Fang Yuan's speech for the opening ceremony.

"Teachers and students, please be quiet. I am the assistant principal of Yun Ding High School, Xu Zhiyu."

"On behalf of Principal Fang Yuan, Welcome to Yun Ding High School."

"I now announce that the school opening ceremony has officially begun!"

"Please welcome the first year's dean of Education, Mr. Francis Bacon, to give a speech."

"The title of the speech is: 'On Reading'."
