Chapter 1013 Large Class Teaching
Qian Peixin had experienced it once, so he was not as surprised by this matter as Chen Qing.

But he still didn't know why Zhang Zhong wanted to read their French version of the manuscript.

It is well known that Zhang Zhong has mastered multiple languages, especially English. Zhang Zhong's English level has reached a level close to that of his mother tongue. As long as his previous books are in English, they are all his own translations.

Perhaps the term translation is not quite accurate. Many people think that some of Zhang Zhong's works should have been written in English, but the Huaxia language is the translated version.

For example, the English version of Zhang Zhong’s first sci-fi novel "A Bouquet for Algernon First" did not seem to be inconsistent at all. When many Americans saw this book at the time, they did not realize that it was A book written by a foreign author.

But Zhang Zhong is not familiar with French, and this is well known.

Although Zhang Zhong is well-known in France, loved by French readers, and has won the Goncourt Literature Prize, his French level is really not good. Every time he interviews reporters in France, he needs a translator to accompany him.

With Zhang Zhong's level of French, he pays special attention to the translation of the French version.

Earlier, Qian Peixin thought that Zhang Zhong was just paying attention to them casually, but he did not expect that Zhang Zhong actually paid attention to their French translation, and even revised their French version of the manuscript.

Although Zhang Chong didn't make many revisions, it's not a question of how many revisions were made, but that Zhang Zhong did indeed modify their translations.

Moreover, Zhang Zhong didn't modify it randomly, and the changes he made were very reasonable.

Even Qian Peixin thought that if he didn't know that Zhang Zhong's French was really mediocre, he would suspect that Zhang Zhong's French was extremely high.

The several places Zhang Zhong modified are very reasonable, adding a lot of highlights to their version.

At first, Qian Peixin thought that Zhang Zhong was worried about their French translation team, and specially found other translators outside to check their translation version.

But when you think about it carefully, this is not reasonable. It is impossible for Zhang Zhong to spend money to find other translators outside, and there are not many things to modify.

Besides, although Qian Peixin has not been in contact with Zhang Zhong for a long time, he also knows that Zhang Zhong is definitely not the kind of person who makes small moves. If Zhang Zhong really asks someone to review their manuscript, he will definitely inform them directly.

Later, as time went by, Qian Peixin also gradually forgot about this matter, and he didn't remember it until Chen Qing said it this time.

He really wanted to see what would happen after their version was given to Zhang Zhong this time.

……

The reason why Zhang Chong asked Chen Qing to show him the French version first was because he not only got the Chinese version but also the French version in this lottery. He hoped that the French version could be as close as possible to the original version.

If it wasn't for fear of suspicion from the outside world, he could of course just show the original French version.

But this is obviously impossible.

It is impossible for him to explain this matter to the people, so he simply didn't cause trouble at the beginning.

After sending "The Shadow Stealer", Zhang Zhong rushed to Shizhong College. Recently, the school has been very busy, because many things have been squeezed together.

The college entrance examination is approaching, and the admissions work is getting more and more busy. Except for the admissions office, the other departments, the vice dean Wen Han and Yang Xiao don't have much free time.

There is also the issue of general education courses. Most of the general education courses in Shizhong College start in May, and the schedule of general education courses has just been finalized, and it will be two days before they will be released for students to grab.

After the general education course is confirmed, most of the teachers in the college will be busy, because in addition to class during the day, they also start to have more tasks at night, including Zhang Zhong.

Zhang Zhong has a lot of general education courses this year, and all of them are after May.

In Shizhong College alone, he has a total of 78 hours of general education this semester.

There are still two months left, excluding weekends, there are still about forty days of class time.

This means that in the remaining 78 days, Zhang Zhongzhong taught [-] lessons to the students of Shizhong College.

On average, there are close to two classes per day.

Not only that, in addition to having classes at Shizhong College, Zhang Zhong also had more than two classes at Jiangyang University.

This is just a general education class, and Zhang Zhong himself still has other classes.

In total, Zhang Zhong needs to attend five classes every day.

Five classes a day for two months is a very difficult task for a university teacher.

But there is no way, Zhang Chong owes too much to the students, if he doesn't make up for it in these two months, then he will only owe more and more in the future.

In the next semester, he plans to arrange his classes more evenly, especially the general education class. Many courses can be taught online, or arranged in the first half of the semester. All crammed into the off-duty semester.

When Zhang Zhong was worrying about arranging the off-duty semester courses in his office, Yang Xiao walked into Zhang Zhong's office with a cup of coffee and laughed, "I knew this before, so why bother. You are the principal. But you were too relaxed in the first half of the semester, basically there was nothing to do, now it’s all right, all the debts you owed before have to be paid off now.”

Zhang Zhong sat behind the desk, rolled his eyes, and ignored him.

Yang Xiao looked at Zhang Zhong, leaned back on the sofa with a smile on his face, and said, "How about I give you an idea?"

Zhang Zhong looked up at him, and didn't take his words seriously, "What's your idea?"

"I took a look and found that many of your classes are the same. In this way, there is no need to waste time teaching in small classes. Isn't this reducing efficiency? I suggest you improve efficiency." Yang Xiao said.

Zhang Zhong said, "There are no small classes in my current general education courses, and basically all classes are in large classes."

"That's right, your current general education courses are all big classes, but there are no special big classes." Yang Xiao said.

"Extraordinary class?" Zhang Zhong asked doubtfully.

Yang Xiao said, "When we were in the middle school, the auditorium had been left there and was not used much. Why don't you put it there. Now there are 180 students in a big class. If you put three classes together, it will be no more. There are more than 500 people. Our auditorium can accommodate thousands of people, so the 500 people are naturally no problem."

Zhang Zhong understood Yang Xiao's meaning, raised his head and said, "You mean, open classes?"

Yang Xiao waved his hand, "It can't be regarded as an open class, it's just a large class teaching, but our class is a bit big, with more than 500 people."
