The next day.
Zhou Yu woke up early.
After washing up, Zhou Yu found that Qiao Meng had not gotten up yet, so he waited for a while.
The sunlight outside the house gradually became dazzling. Just as Zhou Yu was staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze, his cell phone rang.
"I'm in the room. I haven't had breakfast yet," Zhou Yu asked in a gentle voice while holding the phone, "Are you up? Yeah, OK, then I'll go to the restaurant and wait for you."
After Zhou Yu hung up the phone, he got up, picked up his belongings, strode to the restaurant, and started preparing for breakfast.
Just when Zhou Yu was about to finish eating and prepare to go back, Qiao Meng appeared in front of Zhou Yu belatedly.
Seeing Qiao Meng, Zhou Yu, who had just stood up, sat back down and looked at the person in front of him. "Why did you get up so late today? This is not like you."
Qiao Meng drooped her eyelids, took a sip of the milk at hand, peeled the eggs in her hand, looked at Zhou Yu helplessly and said, "Don't mention it, I didn't sleep well last night because I heard the cat meowing for half the night."
"Ah? Cat meowing? Doesn't this hotel not allow pets?" Zhou Yu was puzzled. "Besides, we live on the 9th floor. Even if there is a stray cat outside, we can't hear it, right?"
Qiao Meng rolled her eyes at Zhou Yu and said, "If you don't understand, forget it."
After saying this, Qiao Meng stopped talking and concentrated on the breakfast in front of her, with an expression that said, "If you don't understand, I'm too lazy to explain it to you." This made Zhou Yu sit in his seat a little confused.
The two went downstairs after finishing their meal, and Xu Jiacheng happened to have arrived at the hotel and was waiting for Zhou Yu at the front desk. After seeing Zhou Yu coming downstairs, he took Zhou Yu into the car and drove towards today's destination.
...
...
"Welcome friends to Jiahe Nanhu for sightseeing," a middle-aged woman wearing a baseball cap and holding a small megaphone in her hand was standing in front of Zhou Yu and Xu Jiacheng with a smile on her face, introducing them, "Jiahe City is located on the southeast coast of my country, in the northeast of Zhejiang Province..."
The woman who was talking endlessly about Jiahe's location, history and other knowledge was the tour guide specially invited by Xu Jiacheng.
In order to let Zhou Yu better experience the beauty of Jiahe and have more fun, Xu Jiacheng thought about it for a whole night and decided to let someone do the professional things. He would hire a tour guide to take Zhou Yu out for a tour, and Xu Jiacheng and his team would just do the job of accompanying him.
"In July 1921, history chose Jiahe South Lake. During this year, a major event of epoch-making significance took place!" The tour guide led everyone into the scenic area while introducing, "The most important turning point in Chinese history, the First National Congress, was held on a cruise ship on our Jiahe South Lake."
As they were talking, the tour guide had already brought a few people to a historical-looking cruise ship surrounded by tourists by the lake. "Please look, this is the 'Nanhu Red Boat' that we often see in history textbooks."
"But what everyone needs to understand is that the real 'Red Boat of Nanhu Lake' can no longer be found. The reason is that during the period when the Japanese invaded our country, the cruise ships on Nanhu Lake had already disappeared during the Anti-Japanese War."
"However, in order to commemorate the historic event of the successful closing of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China on the Nanhu cruise ship, a replica of the original boat was built in 1959, which is the 'Nanhu Red Boat' we see today."

...
After a day's journey, the five people in the group, including Xu Jiacheng's family, except the driver, were exhausted both physically and mentally.
In the evening, Zhou Yu, Xu Jiacheng and others, who had finished a day's trip, left the scenic spot and drove to a restaurant specializing in private dishes that had been booked in advance, ready to start today's dinner.
"Teacher Zhou, Teacher Qiao, we were in a hurry yesterday, so the food was simple," Xu Jiacheng introduced Zhou Yu as he led him inside, "This restaurant is a truly old restaurant with great food! We only serve one table for lunch and one table for dinner for three meals a day."
"I reserved this table for tonight a long time in advance. Normally, I can't eat here at all! The owner of this restaurant is very famous..." As they were talking, several people entered the private room under the guidance of the waiter.
After entering the private room and sitting down, without ordering any dishes, the waiter asked Xu Jiacheng if he wanted to serve the dishes. After getting the answer, the waiter left the room.
Seeing Zhou Yu and Qiao Meng looking a little strange, Xu Jiacheng explained with a smile, "This restaurant doesn't accept orders. We eat whatever you cook."
After listening to Xu Jiacheng's explanation, Zhou Yu and Qiao Meng suddenly understood.
Seeing that the waiter had left, only their family and Zhou Yu and his wife were left at the scene. While waiting for the food, Xu Jiacheng asked tentatively what he had been holding back for a whole day, "Teacher Zhou, have you ever thought about quitting your job and becoming a full-time tutor?"
Zhou Yu was a little confused by this sudden question, and couldn't help but look at Xu Jiacheng who asked the question, "Ah? What do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything else," Xu Jiacheng explained with a smile, "I'm just thinking, Mr. Zhou, your monthly salary is only a few thousand yuan at best? But if you quit your job and become a full-time tutor, I believe that with your ability, you can easily make several million yuan a year. "
What Xu Jiacheng said was by no means a compliment to Zhou Yu. Don't think that those who go to cram schools are children from ordinary families and that children from rich families don't have the need for tutoring.
In fact, children from wealthy families have a greater need for tutoring.
Just look at Xu Li and you will understand. How much money did Xu Jiacheng spend to improve Xu Li's grades? But it didn't work.
After meeting Zhou Yu, and discovering that Zhou Yu was indeed capable and had achieved results, he generously gave him a sky-high tuition fee of 200,000 yuan for more than a month.
Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, then realized what Xu Jiacheng meant, and had to explain with a smile, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu. I have no plans to resign or become a full-time tutor. I quite like my current job as a teacher."
Xu Jiacheng asked this question not only because he was optimistic about Zhou Yu and had consideration for his son's performance, but also because he valued Zhou Yu's abilities and the huge profits he represented.
As a businessman, Xu Jiacheng has always had an extremely keen sense of smell.
Ever since the last time my wife Zhao Mingfang suggested asking Zhou Yu to tutor their son during the winter vacation, an idea came to my mind.
If Teacher Zhou agrees to resign and start a business in Jiahe, focusing on the education industry, it will be extremely easy to open up the Jiahe market with my connections and Teacher Zhou's abilities.
Open up the Jiahe market, and then expand into the entire Zhejiang province. In a few years, replicating a certain Oriental brand will be a piece of cake!
But... there is a premise here.
It’s Zhou Yu.
Seeing that Zhou Yu disagreed, Xu Jiacheng smiled somewhat disappointedly, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just asking."
