When Zhang Guimei walked quickly, Zhou Shanqun's mood became heavier.He first handed over a pack of Harbin red sausage from his hometown, and then explained his purpose of coming, admitting that Zhang Guimei might not be destined to become the principal of Huaping Girls' High School.According to convention, the position of principal is usually held by a cadre at the subject level, and Zhang Guimei is just an ordinary female junior high school teacher with no experience in high school management.

Zhou Shanqun implored Zhang Guimei to understand and suggested that she serve as the vice principal, so that she could continue to contribute to the women's high school and have support when facing challenges. In fact, it was a kind of protection for her.However, Zhang Guimei did not accept this proposal and turned around and left after tasting the red sausage in silence, leaving Zhou Shanqun helpless.

That night, after Fang Qiong learned about the incident, she made a special trip to the school rooftop to find Zhang Guimei.She felt deeply unjust about what happened to Zhang Guimei and believed that some people in the county intended to take away the fruits of her hard work.Looking back on Zhang Guimei's hard work for the establishment and development of Huaping Girls' High School, from nothing to the rise of high-rise buildings, from teacher recruitment to student recruitment, every step is condensed with her sweat and tears.Fang Qiong decided to write a report to speak out for Zhang Guimei.

Faced with Fang Qiong's excitement, Zhang Guimei comforted her.She was well aware of Fang Qiong's righteous speech, and the deep friendship between the two made Zhang Guimei feel warmer.She stood on the edge of the rooftop, looked into the distance, and hummed softly - Praise of Red Plum Blossoms -, and her optimism infected Fang Qiong.

Early the next morning, Zhang Guimei took the initiative to go to the county government and submitted her resignation to Ma Yongqiang, expressing her desire to return to her hometown in Northeast China to spend her remaining years.At the same time, she handed over two work notebooks, which recorded in detail the situation of each student and the use of social donations. She hoped that these information would be helpful to the new principal.

After Ma Yongqiang learned about this, he returned to the office angrily and was furious with Zhou Shanqun, believing that Zhang Guimei's move was a challenge to his authority.But Zhou Shanqun also felt sorry for Zhang Guimei and believed that without her, Huaping Girls' High School would not be able to achieve the glory it has today.He recalled Zhang Guimei's journey from proposing the establishment of a women's high school to turning it into reality, and praised her as a person with extraordinary perseverance and ability.

Zhou Shanqun also expressed dissatisfaction with the resolution of the special class group, believing that the red-headed document restricted their ability to act, and that only Zhang Guimei could truly promote the development of the school.He compared Zhang Guimei to the Foolish Old Man in "The Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountains" who overcame numerous difficulties with unparalleled enthusiasm and perseverance.

Ma Yongqiang was deeply touched after hearing this. He flipped through Zhang Guimei's notebook and his expression became more solemn.He immediately convened a special team to hold a second meeting, conveyed Zhou Shanqun's opinions, and invited Gu Yu to speak out.In the end, with everyone's move and approval, Zhang Guimei was approved by a show of hands to serve as the principal of the Girls' High School.Zhang Guimei was moved to tears when the news came, and Fang Qiong was also sincerely happy for her friend.

In August 2008, Huaping Girls' High School welcomed the registration day for new students. However, heavy rain poured down and the mountain roads were muddy, making it difficult for many students to arrive on time.Zhang Guimei was so distraught that she immediately called Ma Yongqiang to ask for help.At the same time, Zhou Shanqun was also anxiously urging.Although Ma Yongqiang was dissatisfied, he still acted quickly to coordinate all forces to ensure that students arrived at school safely.In the heavy rain, teachers and students worked together to bring the students back to Huaping Girls' High School one by one, ensuring a smooth start to the new semester.
