According to Li Weizhe, the student's name is Zhao Yutong. Although she lives in the city center, there is a bus stop downstairs, and there is a direct bus from Jiangcheng University, so it is quite convenient to get there.
Her family is a cadre family, living in the cadre compound of her work unit, and their living conditions are quite good.
I'm currently a senior at the No. 2 High School in the city and will be taking the college entrance examination this year.
"Zhao Yutong's grades have always been mediocre. She should have no problem getting into a bachelor's degree program, but her parents hope that she can get into a key university, preferably Jiangcheng University."
"Her weakest subjects right now are physics and chemistry, and she's not very good at math either. But don't worry, she's very obedient and hardworking, and she always finishes her homework on time."
“I’ve been tutoring her for almost half a year, and she has made great progress in English and Chinese. As long as the tutoring is done properly, improving her scores will definitely not be a problem. I believe that with your abilities, you can definitely do it.”
"If it works well, the parents will give you a red envelope and will also recommend other Zhao Yutongs to you. So, Ye Linchen, if you want to do tutoring part-time for a long time, you must seize this opportunity."
Ye Linchen listened attentively, nodding occasionally, and gained a general understanding of Zhao Yutong's situation.
Although No. 2 Middle School is not as good as the Steel Factory Children's High School and No. 1 Middle School, it is still one of the best high schools in the city.
Zhao Yutong's grades are average; with some effort, she should have no problem getting into a regular key university.
Getting into Jiangcheng University might be a bit difficult, but it's not entirely impossible...
Ye Linchen was still confident in herself. Maybe if the two of them worked together, they could actually help her get into the swing of things.
Li Weizhe then provided some additional details.
Classes are typically held on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday evenings starting at 7 PM, with each session lasting two hours.
The tutoring session took place in Zhao Yutong's dining room, where Zhao Yutong's mother would listen in. Tutoring fees were settled weekly, and so on.
"I've remembered all of that, thank you," Ye Linchen said gratefully.
Li Weizhe is really good; he's very responsible and meticulous.
"This family is very kind. They paid the tuition, and I hope to help them achieve their goal," Li Weizhe said with a smile.
The two chatted all the way, and before they knew it, they had arrived at their stop.
After getting off the bus, it took about three or four minutes to walk to the cadre compound where Zhao Yutong lived.
Two security guards stood at the entrance of the compound, dressed in crisp uniforms and looking very smart.
The security guard was clearly familiar with Li Weizhe. He greeted him, then turned to ask Ye Linchen's name and purpose for coming. He carefully examined her student ID before letting the two of them in.
"The conditions in this cadre compound are really good!"
As Ye Linchen walked, he looked around.
The courtyard is shaded by green trees, and the roads are wide and clean. From time to time, you can see retired cadres who are dressed simply but are in good spirits taking a walk.
Compared to the cadre compound where Ye Zhenghua used to live, the conditions here are significantly better, and there are even several detached villas.
“The people living here are all leaders and cadres from the city, so of course their living conditions are good,” Li Weizhe said with a smile.
Zhao Yutong lives in an apartment complex. Although it's not as nice as those detached villas, it's still a two-unit-per-floor layout, offering excellent privacy.
Zhao Yutong's home was on the third floor. Li Weizhe led Ye Linchen to the door and knocked.
"They're here! They're here!"
A middle-aged woman's voice came from inside the house.
The door was quickly opened, and a well-dressed, kind-faced middle-aged woman stood in the doorway, warmly greeting, "Teacher Li, you've arrived! Please come in, please come in!"
Ye Linchen noticed that there were two pairs of brand-new slippers placed at the door, which were obviously prepared especially for them.
There was also freshly brewed tea on the table, its aroma filling the air and creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Li Weizhe politely greeted Zhao's mother and declined her invitation to come inside for tea.
"Auntie, I have something to do, so I won't go in. This is my classmate Ye Linchen. She's a top student at our school, especially good at math, physics, and chemistry. With her tutoring, Xiaotong's grades will definitely improve by leaps and bounds!"
Li Weizhe smiled and said to Zhao's mother, not forgetting to wink at Ye Linchen, signaling her to do her best.
"Okay, okay, then take care, thank you."
After Li Weizhe left, Zhao's mother warmly greeted Ye Linchen, "Teacher Ye, please come in and sit down."
Zhao's mother helped Ye Linchen sit on the sofa, asked her a few questions, and then turned to call into the inner room, "Xiaotong, come out quickly, Teacher Ye is here!"
After a while, a slender girl came out from the inner room.
"Hello, Teacher Ye," the girl said softly.
The voice was very soft, with a hint of timidity.
Ye Linchen carefully examined the girl in front of him.
She was much like Li Weizhe described: she had a high ponytail, fair skin, a petite stature, large eyes, and always spoke with her head slightly lowered, appearing quiet and well-behaved.
"Hello, Zhao Yutong," Ye Linchen replied with a smile.
Try to make your tone sound friendly.
Although Zhao Yutong is only one year younger than Ye Linchen, when the two stand together, Ye Linchen appears much more mature and sensible.
Looking at her, Zhao's mother felt somewhat satisfied.
Ye Linchen asked Zhao Yutong a few simple questions, then decided to look at Zhao Yutong's recent test papers to understand her specific learning situation so that he could develop a specific tutoring plan to address her weaknesses.
"Auntie, may I take a look at Zhao Yutong's recent test papers?" Ye Linchen asked politely.
Zhao Yutong, however, was unwilling and said first, "No need..."
Zhao's mother's face immediately darkened, and her tone became stern: "How can Teacher Ye tutor you without looking at the test paper?"
Zhao Yutong's face flushed red, her eyes darted around, and she stammered, unable to speak.
"mom……"
Her voice was barely audible, carrying a hint of pleading.
Zhao's mother ignored her and got up to get the test paper.
As Ye Linchen watched this scene, a sense of familiarity suddenly welled up in his heart, as if he were seeing himself in his previous life.
At that time, she was very careful in everything she did. Even if she was unwilling, she dared not go against Meng Xueyun. She looked so wronged and helpless.
"Auntie, don't rush," Ye Linchen quickly said, stopping Zhao's mother from doing so.
She turned her head, looked at Zhao Yutong with gentle eyes, and said softly, "Xiaotong, don't be afraid. I'm here to tutor you, not to criticize you. I want to help you get into a good university, so I want to see your test paper to understand where your weaknesses are so that I can provide more targeted tutoring and help you improve your grades in the shortest amount of time."
She paused, then continued, "Actually, I only transferred from the countryside to Jiangcheng in the last semester of my senior year of high school, so my foundation was very weak. But I didn't give up, and through my own efforts, I eventually got into Jiangcheng University. Your foundation is better than mine. As long as you believe in me and cooperate with me, we can definitely get into a good university, and maybe even try our best at Jiangcheng University."
Zhao Yutong hesitated for a moment, then firmly shook her head.
Ye Linchen was starting to have a headache when he saw that she was still unwilling.
