Xia Xiaoxi lost her parents at a young age. Her uncle's family, claiming to raise her, moved into her home, seized her family's money, exploited her and her brother's labor, and even pl...
Chapter 188 You know, I really need this opportunity
"I didn't take the college entrance examination."
Fang Shulan and Yu Xinchen were stunned again.
"I participated in a mathematics competition and was admitted to the Department of Mathematics at Tsinghua University."
Yu Xinchen widened his eyes, and then squinted at Fang Shulan, "Mom, I'm awesome, right? The one I found is better than the one you found."
Fang Shulan herself works in a government department, so she naturally knows the value of being admitted to Tsinghua University through a mathematics competition. She knew that her son only found a tutor to show that he did not accept her arrangement.
According to her temper, she would definitely not agree, but now she is actually wavering, because the tutor her son found is indeed better than the one she found. But she is still struggling in her heart, "But the teacher I found, Mr. Lin, is a relative of your Aunt Lin, and I have promised him." It seems like she is trying to convince herself.
Yu Xinchen seemed to be waiting for her to say this, and immediately replied: "Humph, you keep saying that it's for my own good, but it's not true at all. I said I didn't want to take math tutoring, but you forced me to do it, and you said it was for my own good. Well, now I've found a better tutor, and you don't agree. Is it for my own good? Is it me or Aunt Lin who's more important? Is it me or your face that's more important?"
Fang Shulan was speechless after being asked by her son.
Li Wenxi saw that she finally had a chance to speak, and immediately smiled at Fang Shulan and said, "I didn't know you had hired a tutor, so I won't bother you. Actually, I have a lot of schoolwork, so it doesn't matter if I don't take this tutoring job, I can just go back to study." She didn't really want to be a tutor and be involved in this kind of family entanglement, so it would be better for her to leave as soon as possible.
As he said that, he tore off the hand on his wrist.
Yu Xinchen was stunned. He didn't expect that he could be escaped so easily.
Fang Shulan was also stunned when she saw Li Wenxi's behavior. Her son was a little bully, and now she couldn't catch him. He was very strong, and it was impossible to snatch the Walkman from his hand. But this teacher Li seemed to be able to deal with her son easily.
Then she thought of what she had just said, meaning that she was busy with schoolwork and it didn't matter if she didn't come to tutor.
People are like this. The harder it is to get something, the more precious it is. Fang Shulan also began to think that Teacher Li, who her son accidentally found, might be more suitable than Teacher Lin introduced by a friend.
Fang Shulan said, "How about this, you give a trial lesson, and my son will decide whoever he thinks is suitable. Don't worry, no matter what the result is, I will pay you the normal price of three yuan per hour for the trial lesson." This was basically a hint that she should teach, after all, Yu Xinchen had already said that only Teacher Li would teach.
Li Wenxi didn't want to stay at first, but when she heard that it was three yuan per hour, she could earn twelve yuan a week, which was equivalent to the salary of a worker in a month. Without hesitation, she nodded decisively.
This family is really rich.
Lin Qing inside pursed her lips after hearing this. Fang Shulan had paid her two yuan per hour before, but she didn't expect to pay Li Wenxi three yuan per hour. Li Wenxi was not short of money, so why did he compete with her for this tutoring opportunity?
She walked out with a smile and called out, "Wenxi?"
Li Wenxi had never thought that Fang Shulan had invited Lin Qing. "Lin Qing, it's you."
"Do you know each other?"
"We used to participate in the math competition training camp at Tsinghua University together." Lin Qing said this to remind Fang Shulan that she was not bad either.
"Then why didn't you get recommended?" Yu Xinchen asked, tilting his head.
Lin Qing was stunned for a moment, she bit her lip and said, "I was unlucky and didn't make it into the top 60. Aunt Fang, could you consider me again? Although my math grades may not be as good as Li Wenxi's, I am good at teaching and I have rich tutoring experience. You should know that some people have good grades, but they may not be able to teach knowledge to students very well. Some people may not have such good grades, but she can teach with the best results."
She waved to Li Wenxi again and said, "Wenxi, don't get me wrong, I don't mean that you can't teach, I just want Aunt Fang to give me a chance. You know, I really need this money."
Li Wenxi immediately heard the multiple meanings in Lin Qing's words. Sure enough, he was right to stay away from her last year. She glanced at the leather shoes on Lin Qing's feet and the unique hairpin in her hair. If she was short of money, she wouldn't buy these things.
Li Wenxi said lightly: "It depends on Aunt Fang's arrangement."
Fang Shulan actually knew very well that some of Lin Qing's words were right. Some people are really knowledgeable, but they just can't teach others. But she also saw through Lin Qing's little tricks just now. She first hinted that Li Wenxi might not teach others, and then showed weakness to Li Wenxi and begged for pity. Did she want Li Wenxi to withdraw?
Fang Shulan has been a strong woman all her life. She can't stand people playing tricks and begging for pity. Naturally, she had to hire the best teacher for her son. She said to Li Wenxi directly: "You go in and give Yu Xinchen a lesson first."
Li Wenxi then took Yu Xinchen into the room.
Fang Shulan said to Lin Qing again: "You have already given a trial lesson to Xinchen, Teacher Xiaolin, you should go back first. I will notify you when there is news."
Lin Qing said hurriedly: "It doesn't matter, I will wait here, so you don't have to notify me again." If she left now, she would definitely miss the chance. She had seen Li Wenxi giving lectures to others. Moreover, Li Wenxi was originally invited by Yu Xinchen, so this student naturally favored her.
Fang Shulan sighed: "Xiaolin, don't worry, since I promised your Aunt Lin, if you don't tutor in our house, I will also help you find another family to tutor."
Lin Qing shed tears and said: "But Aunt Fang, I just want to be a tutor in your house."
Fang Shulan didn't know why Lin Qing was so stubborn, sighed, and said nothing more, and asked the nanny Aunt Cai to bring a bowl of fruit to the table for her to eat. She went into the study to process documents.
Lin Qing sat down on the sofa, staring at the coffee table in front of her, thinking about the open photo album that was placed here when she just came in. She actually saw Han Yi in a group photo in it.
She took the opportunity to ask the nanny Aunt Cai, and only then did she know that Han Yi was the son of Fang Shulan's elder sister and Yu Xinchen's cousin. In that group photo, half of the people were wearing military uniforms, and the others were also well dressed. She realized that Han Yi came from a good family.
Perhaps, being a tutor in Fang Shulan's house was the closest she had ever been to Han Yi. If she gets to know Fang Shulan well in the future, won't she be able to ask Fang Shulan to introduce her to someone? Or it would be easy to meet Han Yi at Yu's house.
She was very excited and felt that the opportunity had come, but Li Wenxi unexpectedly appeared again.
The news that Li Wenxi, who won the gold medal in the mathematics competition, and Chen Zhiyan were dating had already spread to the mathematics departments of other schools.
She already had such a good partner, so was Chen Zhiyan still not satisfied? Why was he trying to compete with her?
Lin Qing thought while holding on to her clothes.
