Five minutes later, Li Jikai was invited to the principal's office. The office was decorated very luxuriously. It seemed that this school made a lot of money.

The principal is a man in his fifties, wearing glasses, a suit, and his hair is neatly combed. He looks like a meticulous person.

He stood up, shook hands with Li Jikai and said, "Are you here to apply for a job?"

Li Ji nodded and said, "Yes, principal, I want to apply for a German lecturer, which is the kind that teaches people every Monday, Wednesday and Friday night."

The principal looked at Li Jikai in front of him in surprise. After a closer look, he found that the young man was indeed very handsome and his temperament was not ordinary. However, he was handsome and elegant, but he could not be a meal, let alone become a German teacher.

There are many foreign language teachers in Yucai School, but there is only one teacher who specializes in teaching German.

The reason for this is that this foreign language is not very popular. The real popular ones are English, then Japanese, Korean, Russian, French, and finally German. However, with the changes in the general environment in recent years, there are a lot more people learning German than in previous years. Therefore, the school is also preparing to expand German classes, so it has posted recruitment online.

However, the school recruits teachers from the off-duty class, and the person in front of him is going to apply for a night school class.

The principal had no choice but to say, "I'm sorry, this gentleman. We already have German teachers in our night school class, so look..."

Li Jikai had already predicted this situation before, and thought of a countermeasure and said calmly: "Principal, don't rush to reject me first. I can guarantee that my teaching quality is only higher than that of the current teachers."

"Oh." The principal was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Li Jikai was young and was quite confident in himself. Of course, he might be blindly arrogant. "But the current German teacher is a German translator himself. Moreover, he has qualification certificates of various levels. I think in Chacheng, as far as the German major is concerned, I'm afraid no one is better than him."

Li Jikai asked: "So, what kind of translation is this German teacher engaged in?"

The principal said: "He is engaged in the translation of textbooks, books and contract documents, and is also a German translator specially hired by many companies. I think this qualification is not something that everyone has."

Li Jikai said sincerely: "It's really amazing, so I would like to ask the principal, how many students are there in your school's night school courses?"

The principal spread his hands and said, "This has nothing to do with you, right?"

Li Ji Kai smiled and said, "No, it's relevant. I've learned it briefly before coming. Currently, there are only eight students in the German language courses of the night school class of Yucai School. There are only eight students, but I have checked other brother cities, foreign language schools with the same qualifications. The same night school training class has the largest class with 54 people and the least one is 36 people."

The principal was very surprised. He also understood these situations, but he didn't expect that the young man in front of him knew about them.

Li Jikai said again: "So have the principal ever thought about why your school has only eight students in the course?"

The principal thought for a while and said, "It should be that German is unpopular, and our Chacheng is just a third- and fourth-tier city! The population is far less than that of the first- and second-tier cities in Yangcheng."

Li Jikai shook his head and said, "German is indeed a bit unpopular compared to English. But with the changes in the economic environment in recent years, our local companies have increasingly cooperated with German companies, or even in-depth cooperation. It can be said that in Chacheng, there are definitely more than four-digit potential students who want to learn German!"

The principal gradually realized some tricks and stopped interrupting, signaling him to continue.

Li Ji said: "In fact, the more unpopular the foreign language is, the more popular it is. Because once you master it, you can stand out among your peers. Why? Because there are fewer people who understand this foreign language, so your competitiveness is naturally not that great."

The principal couldn't help but nodded slightly. When many English-study people broke their heads for a job, German-study people would have an extremely advantageous position when they were completely lacking in competitiveness.

Li Jikai emphasized and said, "In such an environment, there are definitely more than eight people who learn German. So, why can't your school recruit students?"

The principal frowned, then took out a document to check it out, and then said, "No, at the beginning, there were thirty students in the German course major. But after studying this month, there were only eight left."

Li Ji said: "The problem is even more obvious. To be honest, I think it is because the teacher who teaches this foreign language is not qualified for this job."

"Nonsense!" An unhappy shout suddenly sounded at the door of the office, and then a middle-aged man in his forties walked in and said to Li Ji: "Young man, you can eat things randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. I can't do this job. Can you?"

When Li Jikai heard the other party say this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seems that he can't say bad things about others behind his back. He is easily retribution in this life!

When the principal saw the middle-aged man coming in, he introduced: "This is Mr. Tang Ming, who teaches German in our school. Mr. Tang, why did he come so early today?"

Tang Ming said calmly: "I just went to Yunshang Company and translated a German contract for them. It ended relatively early, so I thought about coming to the principal to play chess, but I didn't expect that the principal would have a distinguished guest here."

Sure enough, when Cao Cao said that Cao Cao was really here.

Li Ji said: "Hello, Teacher Tang!"

Tang Ming looked at Li Ji and said indifferently: "Young man, it's a good thing to be confident, but too confident is to be arrogant. Many times, you have to call yourself a few pounds. Don't be embarrassed if you don't have one."

Li Jikai suddenly asked in German: "So, how heavy do you think you are now?"

Choosing a slut, this is a bare-hearted provocation!

Tang Ming's face changed and he said in German: "Although I don't think I'm so great, I'm definitely more capable than you, especially in German."

The principal's face was different. He was also proficient in many languages, so he naturally heard that the two were communicating in German. No, it should be said that they were in a confrontation. The principal couldn't help but look at Li Ji a few more times, thinking that this young man was a little bit worthy.

Li Ji Kai smiled slightly and continued to say in German: "I just said that Teacher Tang is not qualified for this job, which does not mean that you are not qualified enough. On the contrary, you are an old senior in this industry and have sufficient experience. But the work you are engaged in is more about writing translation. However, students who come to the training class want to learn oral communication more."

Tang Ming spread his hands and said, "Then do you think there is any problem with me communicating with you in German now?"

Li Jikai said bluntly: "Yes, German is the same as English. In spoken language, many grammars have been changed or even omitted. Just like what you just said, your grammar is absolutely not correct, and your words are correct. However, in daily communication, especially business negotiations, Germans will never speak like you!"

Tang Ming's face changed and he shouted, "What did you say?"

Li Jikai continued: "If I guess correctly, Teacher Tang should rarely talk to Germans!"

This is indeed Tang Ming's weakness, but he is obviously a powerful person, so he avoids the important and said lightly: "But the German I teach is the most authentic. After students learn it, they will benefit for life."

Li Ji said, "Yes, but Teacher Tang, you have ignored one thing. What you teach is not a full-time class, but a night school class. They are eager to learn German for various reasons, which means that their hearts are very impetuous. If you ask them to sit down and listen patiently to you explain the complex grammar, I believe that few of them can do it. What they need is to use it immediately and communicate face-to-face without barriers. And this point is obviously not possible, so there are fewer and fewer students because they find that they cannot apply what they have learned."

Tang Ming suddenly had nothing to say because he could not refute that there were dozens of students at the beginning of his class, but only eight of them could barely persevere.

Although the principal on the side said nothing, he had to admit that what Li Jikai said was the fact.

Tang Ming is indeed an excellent German translator, but as Li Jikai said, he is good at writing translation.

In the communication he and Li Ji Kai just now, he also used German, but he was obviously a little stiff, and even some words and sentences need to be expressed in cumbersome grammar.

This is obviously a manifestation of insufficient oral experience.

On the contrary, Li Jikai spoke very fluently, and used precise words, heading straight to the point. He even had a straight line of words, completely authentic German Berlin flavor.

In addition, Li Jikai's analysis is also very good. Oral communication is their most basic demand for students in the foreign language night school class. Then there are more profound things like grammar.

Facing the school where I came from speaking, Tang Ming really seems not good enough, so there are so many students who drop out.

At this time, Tang Ming had to re-examine Li Jikai in front of him. He had been engaged in German translation for many years, but he had few opportunities for oral communication. He was invited to communicate with Germans several times, but because of his cumbersome grammar, the Germans had a very hard time listening and had to repeat it several times, which greatly hit his confidence.

From then on, he refused all oral translation work and focused on the words.

Just when Tang Ming felt embarrassed, the principal finally said, "Mr. Li, which school did you graduate from?"

Li Jikai shook his head and said, "The principal asked me which school I learned German, right? In fact, I have not learned German specifically."

The principal said in surprise: "Ah?"

Tang Ming couldn't help but sneer, "You haven't studied German in school, so you don't have a diploma? You don't even have a certificate. You dare to apply for a job, you are very brave."

Li Jikai said slowly, "But I grew up in Berlin, Germany and have spoken German since I was a child. Also, Teacher Tang thinks it is difficult to get a C1 with my German level?"

This c1 is naturally not a driver's license level c1, but a European standard c1!

The European standards are a1, a2, a3, b1, b1, c1, c2. There are seven levels in total, which is currently relatively common persuasive.

a represents primary, b represents intermediate, and c represents advanced. Primary means having a basic understanding of German. Intermediate means having the ability to work and live in Germany, and advanced means being able to teach German

In order to seduce Lou Xiaoxiao and to complete the entrustment, Li Jikai felt that he was working hard enough and he was doing everything he could to cheat!

Tang Ming couldn't help but speak again. The other party spoke German so smoothly, and believed that reading, listening, and writing were not a problem. Taking a certificate was as easy as drinking water.

Li Jikai said again: "In addition, I have another advantage, that is something that Teacher Tang does not have."

The principal couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is it?"

Li Jikai asked back without answering: "How much is Teacher Tang's salary?"

The principal shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, this is beyond words."

Li Ji said: "It's okay, I've consulted a friend. Now a foreign language teacher, and at the level of Teacher Tang, his salary is at least 10,000 yuan per month."

Tang Ming couldn't help but move his eyebrows and sneered: "What, are you planning to lower the price?"

Li Ji smiled and said, "No, no, no, what I want to say is. If the principal is willing to apply for me, I can be free in the first month. If the teaching is good, the principal will decide the specific salary! If Teacher Tang is not afraid of me stealing your job, it is better to let me last you a week. Then let the students choose by themselves to see which teaching method they prefer? If the students still choose you, then I have nothing to say!"

The principal was stunned. Li Ji made this proposal, which was quite tempting.

If there is no comparison, there will be no harm, but if there is no comparison, I don’t know who is more suitable. Anyway, there is no need to pay, so let him try it.

Tang Ming wanted to refuse, but if he refused, it would be equivalent to admitting that he was not as good as Li Jikai. With anger, he said, "Okay, you will be the German class in the night school this week. I want to see what you have!"

After saying that, he stopped playing chess and left directly.
