Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 1125: Chapter 1125: Forced Advancement

"I seem to be assigned to the first grade." Ye Fei said with a mix of laughter and tears, "You all will be my seniors."

Tian Pengpo is in the second grade and became a super rookie at Changping as soon as he enrolled.

The others are distributed in the second and third grades.

"Oh! We originally thought you could at least be in the same class with one of us, so we could look out for each other." Ba Zhekai said.

"No worries, did you forget? Our school allows mandatory grade advancement." Zhou Junhao said.

"Mandatory grade advancement?" Is there mandatory advancement for grades?

"Yes." Zhou Junhao nodded with a smile, "If a student’s performance is exceptionally outstanding and the teachers determine that the grade’s curriculum cannot offer any further assistance, the student will be forced to upgrade directly, whether they wish to or not."

"It’s not unheard of. Our school has students from culinary families who have studied cooking for over ten years before enrolling, making them seasoned chefs. The first-grade curriculum is somewhat outdated for them, so after evaluation by the teachers, they can advance grades."

"However, up until now, the only advances we’ve seen have been directly to the second grade. Although the first-grade curriculum can’t suffice, the second-grade curriculum can handle it. No one has skipped consecutively yet." Zhou Junhao explained.

"Exactly!" Shang Heyue clapped her hands, "All you need to do is skip to the second grade, and then you can be in the same class as us."

No one thought Ye Fei couldn’t advance grades.

Ye Fei can even surpass them; her abilities couldn’t possibly be confined to the first grade.

So, everyone went along with Ye Fei to see the responsible teacher.

Unexpectedly, Guo Wenbo and Ye Huasong also came in person.

"Teacher Guo, Teacher Ye." In school, Ye Fei changed how she addressed them, "Why are you here too?"

"We heard this morning that you planned to audit classes, so we came to check it out." Guo Wenbo said with a smile, "What are you doing in the first grade?"

The teacher originally about to lead Ye Fei to the class almost broke a sweat, but it wasn’t from heat.

This crowd came along, and among them was Zhao Gushen.

The pressure was already considerable, and now Guo Wenbo and Ye Huasong came to join in.

Besides being teachers at Changping Academy, they also serve as the vice principals.

They are considered very prestigious at Changping Academy.

"Teacher Guo, you know the rules," the teacher explained, "No matter what, entering requires starting from the first grade, then being evaluated based on performance."

Guo Wenbo said indifferently, "It’s alright; Ye Fei certainly won’t stay in the first grade for long."

The teacher was somewhat surprised too.

Guo Wenbo is always strict and holds great authority at the school, especially when expressionless, leading students to call him the ’black-faced deity.’

Additionally, his requirements are exceptionally stringent, and few can earn praise from him.

No one expected Guo Wenbo to have such a high opinion of Ye Fei.

This teacher put aside Ye Fei’s identity as Zhao Gushen’s wife and purely considered her as a chef.

No, not even a chef yet.

Without graduating from Changping, without receiving its recognition, one can’t be considered a chef.

Acknowledging her as Zhao Gushen’s wife has nothing to do with culinary skills, right?

This teacher had watched the competition and knew Ye Fei was excellent, but didn’t expect Guo Wenbo to truly rate her so highly.

Even somewhat beyond the skills and achievements she showed in competitions.

Is Ye Fei really that skilled?

This teacher couldn’t help but look at Ye Fei.

Ye Fei sensed his gaze, smiled at him, and made the teacher feel rather embarrassed.

Teachers in the school are counted.

They are also assigned to grades based on their abilities.

Generally, first-grade teachers have lower skills than those in second and third grades.

After all, as students progress, their abilities increase too.

Teachers’ skills cannot fall short.

The teachers who enter Changping naturally have good abilities.

The level of ability is relative, of course.

Fourth-grade teachers generally don’t teach much on a regular basis.

Their roles are more like university counselors, responsible for some daily student affairs.

As for courses, they are handled by teachers like Guo Wenbo.

Guo Wenbo and his colleagues mainly handle third-grade courses.

Due to limited experience, they occasionally teach fourth-grade courses.

Most of the time, students conduct their own research projects.

Famous chefs invited from outside are directly responsible for fourth-grade courses.

Though they can’t be present all year round.

By inviting several people and scheduling properly.

Each person handles a period of time, which is enough.

As long as students reach the fourth grade, they can receive mentoring from the chefs.

So, students need not worry.

Guo Wenbo thought back to those first-grade chefs, then shook his head.

Without saying it directly, he quietly told Ye Huasong, "Those people can’t teach Ye Fei."

Ye Huasong smiled and said, "I think you should directly take Ye Fei as your apprentice."

Not just as a school teacher-student relationship, but as a true master-apprentice tradition.

Guo Wenbo felt intrigued by Ye Huasong’s suggestion.

He indeed had such an idea.

"However, I’ve heard Ye Fei’s master is the esteemed Zhu Changzhi." Guo Wenbo said, "I believe my skills are not inferior to his; I wouldn’t fear a competition, even with evenly matched odds."

Ye Huasong looked at Guo Wenbo’s confident demeanor, thinking Guo Wenbo’s confidence wasn’t blind.

Indeed, he has such abilities.

"Only since Ye Fei already has a master, I can’t snatch her away." Guo Wenbo said.

"As far as I know, Ye Fei is at most a named disciple of Zhu Changzhi." Ye Huasong whispered.

Ye Huasong comes from the Ye Family, a culinary family, like Zhu’s – both are traditionally Imperial Chefs passed down through generations.

"I know a bit about the old Zhu Family’s traditions. They’re so traditional it feels stubborn. You only see the ’pass to males, not females’ rule in TV dramas, but it’s actually a rule in their family. This alone excludes Ye Fei." Ye Huasong said, "And moreover, the real skills are kept within the family, not shared externally."

"What Zhu Changzhi teaches Ye Fei should only be a bit more than regular culinary schools or chefs." After all, he’s a master. Even with rules restricting what he can teach, the skills and experience he possesses exceed ordinary chefs greatly.

"So, if you really have this thought, it’s not an obstacle." Ye Huasong said.

Guo Wenbo stroked his chin, then shook his head.

"What’s the matter?" Ye Huasong laughed, "You’re not usually someone indecisive."
