Chapter 393: Heartbroken and I Can’t Breathe
Lin Xiangnan sat at the table, gnashing his teeth with half a steamed bun in his mouth, and asked with concern: "How are the new teachers? If they are not suitable, I will find new ones."
"They all have good professional abilities. There are two junior students who are not very relaxed, but they should be fine after two more classes to adapt." Lin Xiangdong is very satisfied with his colleagues.
The people introduced to the training school for part-time work were all specially selected by Lin Xiangnan.
It is not enough to be able to read and write, the pronunciation must also be standard. There are no stupid students in prestigious schools. As long as you are willing to work hard in this area, you will be able to master it quickly.
Moreover, English is the mainstream language in the world. If you want to read papers and learn about the latest scientific and technological achievements, you must know English.
If an ordinary student doesn't study hard, he can't expect to ask for translation when he needs to look up information, right? None of Professor Wang's students can't speak English, at least they can read and write.
Lin Xiangdong's friends and classmates are also very good at English, because he is a returned overseas student.
With the efforts of the brother and sister, they recruited a very strong teaching team. The worst one was an undergraduate, and international students and postgraduates were not uncommon.
The only pity is that all the teachers there are part-time. Some people can only be students in school in the morning and teachers in the training school in the afternoon, without any seamless transition.
After chatting with Lin Xiangdong about the training school and confirming that it was operating normally, Lin Xiangnan prepared to leave.
"I'm going back to have dinner. Be careful when you two go back at night. If it's too late, rest in the dormitory. The security at night is not very good."
"Okay, we know what we are doing." Lin Xiangdong said calmly.
In the past two years, thefts and robberies have occurred frequently, and hooligans have been arrogant, but the training school has been stable from its opening to enrollment.
Auntie Hua couldn't get involved in the teacher's affairs, but she did a great job in dealing with the hooligans. Her son was a senior official in the Public Security Bureau, so if he just walked around in police uniform, no one would dare to cause trouble.
During the daytime, Aunt Hua usually stayed at the training school, but she left as soon as Lin Xiangdong came.
They are all partners, so Aunt Hua feels very relieved to hand over the matter to Lin Xiangdong and his wife.
As for Lin Xiangnan, she plays the role of a military advisor. You can ask her for help when it comes to brainstorming and making plans, but Lin Xiangnan cannot be relied on for physical work.
In the training school, the billboard of Lin Xiangdong, the gold medal lecturer, and the publicity column of the teaching staff were all Lin Xiangnan's ideas. The advertisement in the newspaper and the distribution of flyers at the beginning of the school also made the competitors stunned...
The advertisement was so good that Lin Xiangdong blushed.
The advertisement reads: Lin Xiangdong: Master's degree candidate, government-sponsored student, studied in the United States for 2 years, 20 years of English learning experience, many years of teaching experience, helping hundreds of students study and work abroad...
"See if there's anything else you want to add. Add it up."
After reading the slogan written by Lin Xiangnan, Lin Xiangdong blushed on the spot and pulled Lin Xiangnan's sleeve, "Please don't do this. I beg you."
"That's nothing. It's really not shameful. And I'm going to accompany you, what are you afraid of?"
Lin Xiangnan took a proactive approach and immediately put up his own advertisement.
Lin Xiangnan: PhD candidate, fluent in English, German, Russian, and French, has been to many countries including the UK, Germany, and the US, a well-known expert on the college entrance examination and English...
Seeing this exaggerated self-introduction, Ye Tingxue was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and stood on Lin Xiangnan's side.
"Your sister isn't afraid, so why are you so scared? You're still the eldest brother."
Lin Xiangnan nodded frantically, "That's right. Even good wine needs to be hidden in a remote alley. There are so many night schools now. If I don't brag, others won't know that a new training school has opened."
"I... okay..." Lin Xiangdong compromised helplessly.
Under the persuasion of Ye Tingxue and Hu Meili, Lin Xiangdong had to cooperate with Lin Xiangnan in the advertising, and even his photo poses had to be guided by Lin Xiangnan.
"Make sure you cross your arms. Professional! All top lecturers shoot like this."
Lin Xiangdong was like a puppet, being manipulated by Lin Xiangnan pitifully.
The two siblings were dressed in suits and took not only individual photos of themselves, but also photos of the two siblings together. They both had sharp eyes and looked like good teachers.
As for Aunt Hua, Lin Xiangnan warmly invited her, but she was not happy.
"Although I had a white tutor when I was a kid, that was 40 years ago. It's too much to brag about it. Besides, I don't take care of the classes. I'm just in charge of the administration. Don't brag about me."
The excuse sounded good, but the main reason was that Aunt Hua was afraid of Lin Xiangnan's packaging skills. As an old revolutionary, she also had many old acquaintances in Beijing.
She really can’t act cool in front of acquaintances!!!
Young people like Lin Xiangnan are thick-skinned and are not shy when praising themselves. It makes Lin Xiangnan not embarrassed, but she, an outsider, is embarrassed.
Lin Xiangnan's fame among the general public is wider than Lin Xiangdong's. She uses herself to advertise, and the effect is really good.
But Lin Xiangnan boasted in the advertisements, but her true colors were revealed when it came to scheduling classes. She only scheduled one class for herself every two weeks.
After all, selling courses is one thing, and teaching is another. If it weren't for his reputation, Lin Xiangnan wouldn't have wanted to take this class. He couldn't let the students think he was a scam.
This time when he came to the school, Lin Xiangnan had no plan to attend classes. He just took a look, ate a few bites of food, and then left.
Looking at Lin Xiangnan's elegant back, Lin Xiangdong couldn't help but remind him, "Remember to prepare for your class tomorrow. Don't ruin your reputation."
"I know." Lin Xiangnan waved without even turning his head.
She stayed in the training school for a while, and returned to the staff quarters at about the same time as Zhao Fengying, who left earlier than her, because Zhao Fengying had to pick up her child from the nursery.
"You're really fast. You're back so soon. I thought you had to take two classes there before coming back." Zhao Fengying asked, "How much does your training school charge? I have a cousin who has been talking about going abroad."
"3 yuan per lesson, 180 yuan per month. The price is a little expensive, but our teachers are very professional." Lin Xiangnan asked curiously: "Don't you despise those who are going to immigrate abroad? Why are you asking for your cousin?"
"No, I don't really despise them. My cousin is going abroad, and so are the people who have signed up for training courses."
Zhao Fengying looked into Lin Xiangnan's eyes and said sincerely, "But if you emigrate abroad, I won't be able to accept it at all. I will be so heartbroken that I can't breathe."
