"Ah? Boss, you want our Wang Jingqi to come and tutor your son?!"
Wang Zhi looked at Xu Jiacheng, who was smiling in front of him, and asked in surprise.
Xu Jiacheng laughed cheerfully, "Haha, what's wrong, Lao Wang, is it difficult?"
Wang Zhi scratched his head. It wasn’t that he didn’t want his son to come to Jiahe to help the boss.
Wang Zhi is an honest man, and his boss takes good care of him. He works in the sanitary ware factory, and his wife worked in the garment factory where his boss used to work. They eat and live in the factory.
The couple depended on their boss Xu Jiacheng for their livelihood. They were so grateful to Xu Jiacheng that they would never refuse his proposal.
but......
Wang Zhi thought about Wang Jingqi's usual silence and felt a little nervous.
Can my son, who has such a dull temperament, really teach my boss's son well? Don't end up making the child unable to study, because that would be a big sin for me.
If the boss gets angry at the couple for this reason and asks them to leave, wouldn't that be a case of doing something with good intentions leading to something toxic, and that would be a lot of fun, right?
To be honest, his son did so well in the exam, which made Wang Zhi so proud. He and his wife had already considered how to reward Wang Jingqi. It would not be impossible to take this opportunity to let Wang Jingqi come to Jiahe to play, and then buy him a mobile phone, a computer, etc.
Wang Zhi was still thinking about it in embarrassment, while Xu Jiacheng thought that Wang Zhi was not willing to let his son travel to Jiahe. So Xu Jiacheng decided to increase the stakes.
Xu Jiacheng smiled warmly, looked at Wang Zhi and said, "I heard you say before that your old mother and your son are the only ones at home in your hometown."
"Your old mother is at home taking care of those acres of land, but what about your son? Your son has just graduated from the college entrance examination and is at home with nothing to do. Why not come to my place and help my son with his homework?"
"Look, Old Wang. Your son's name is Wang Jingqi, right? Normally, the child studies in his hometown, and you work in Jiahe. Throughout the year, you only see him during the New Year. You don't want a child? Even if you don't want a child, your wife doesn't want a child either? This is a good opportunity to let your Wang Jingqi come to Jiahe so that your family can reunite!"
Xu Jiacheng had already figured out how to impress Wang Zhi. "I'll reimburse your Wang Jingqi for his train ticket to Jiahe. After you come here, I'll pay for your food and lodging. You can just settle it together at the factory!"
"Also, if he wants to earn some money to support the family after having enough fun, you can let him come to work in the factory! He can work on the assembly line or as a security guard! The salary will be paid at the normal level!"
"Also, if your Wang Jingqi agrees to help our Xu Li with his homework, I will give your Wang Jingqi 100 yuan a day! He doesn't need to do anything, just teach his study method to our Xu Li, and watch over Xu Li when he is studying!"
"At other times, I don't care what your son does, even if he eats fruit and looks at his phone. Think about it, in my house, your son is enjoying the air conditioning, eating fruit and reading a book. Isn't that more uncomfortable than working with you in the hot workshop?"
"By the way, Wang Jingqi will be at our house for lunch, eating with my son, and I'll have someone send him back in the evening! Old Wang, do you think this is okay?"
Xu Jiacheng has thought of everything he could think of for Wang Zhi, which is very considerate.
When Wang Zhi heard what his boss said next, his heart started beating violently and he seemed quite excited.
Is this the power of cheese? Wang Zhi thought.
It turns out that if you have good academic performance, you really don't have to stay in the workshop like me, sweating and working hard to earn a few cents.
For the first time, Wang Zhi had such a direct witness to the benefits of excellent academic performance.
If he was still the same Wang Zhi, he would definitely make the decision for his son without saying a word and ask him to agree to it first before talking about it.
But now...
"Boss," Wang Zhi lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and looked at Xu Jiacheng who was looking at him expectantly, "I can't make this decision by myself. I have to ask my son's opinion first."
Xu Jiacheng was very confident about the conditions he offered. He believed that Lao Wang’s son Wang Jingqi would definitely agree.
So, Xu Jiacheng patted Wang Zhi on the shoulder in a very understanding manner, "It's okay, it's not urgent! You can call your son later and ask! Okay, you go to work first!"
...
...
Just as Xu Jiacheng expected.
At noon, Xu Jiacheng was still having lunch when Wang Zhi excitedly knocked on the door of Xu Jiacheng's office.
"Boss, my son will come to Jiahe this afternoon!" said Wang Zhi.
Wang Zhi took advantage of the lunch break to call home.
When Wang Jingqi learned from his father that his father's boss wanted him to go to Jiahe to help as a tutor, with free food and accommodation and 100 yuan a day, he was immediately interested and agreed.
"Okay, okay!" Xu Jiacheng nodded with satisfaction and said to Wang Zhi with a smile, "I'll tell my wife later that you should ask your son not to lose the ticket. I'll give it to you when the time comes. Just take it to the finance department and get it reimbursed directly!"
"Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss!"
After Wang Zhi left, Xu Jiacheng immediately called his wife Zhao Mingfang, "Mingfang, pick up Xu Li from his parents today! A tutor has been found, and Xu Li will be a sophomore next semester. We can't waste any more time!"
Both husband and wife were decisive and swift in their actions. As soon as Xu Jiacheng asked his wife to go to the old couple's place later to pick up their son Xu Li, Zhao Mingfang immediately picked up the car keys and drove to his hometown, Yincheng County, in a hurry.
So, when Xu Jiacheng returned home in the evening, he saw his son Xu Li sitting cross-legged in front of the sofa with a depressed look on his face. There were a few books on the coffee table in front of him, and Xu Li was holding a pen in his hand, silently doing his summer homework.
"What's going on? The sun rose from the west today?" In order to avoid disturbing Xu Li from doing his homework, Xu Jiacheng tiptoed to the kitchen and asked his busy wife in a low voice.
Zhao Mingfang poked her head out and glanced at Xu Li, who was still scratching his head and worrying about his homework in the living room. She curled her lips and said to her husband, "Don't you know how much fun this kid has at his parents' house?! Apart from eating, he stays in his room all day, playing games with the air conditioner on!"
"Our parents spoil him. They were afraid that he would be thirsty or hungry in the afternoon, so they prepared some cold water for him and washed and cut up the fruits before sending them to him!"
"Well, after I got there, I told my parents that Xu Li's grades were too bad, and if he didn't study hard, he would be doomed! So we hired a tutor for Xu Li and are going to bring him back to Jiahe!"
"Fortunately, your parents know that they can't spoil him blindly! When I wanted to take Xu Li away, your parents didn't say anything!"
"However, this kid was a little unhappy when he knew that he was asked to study hard when he returned! Although he didn't dare to say anything!"
