"I'm sorry, Boss Xu. I really can't help it! I've been so exhausted recently! And as you know, I work out of town and haven't seen my family for a long time. I want to have a good rest during the winter vacation and spend some time with my family."
Since Zhou Yu's family was going to Qiao Meng's house for lunch today, Zhou Yu got up early.
After Zhou Yu went to Qiao Meng's house alone to have breakfast, he and Qiao Meng went out together and strolled around the city.
However, when Zhou Yu and Qiao Meng were strolling leisurely on the street, Zhou Yu suddenly received a call from Xu Jiacheng.
Qiao Meng couldn't hear what Xu Jiacheng said, but from her boyfriend's words, it was not difficult for her to infer that Xu Jiacheng was discussing the make-up lessons during the winter vacation with her boyfriend Zhou Yu.
However, from the conversation, Qiao Meng could easily find that her boyfriend didn't seem to be very willing to go to Jiahe to help Xu Jiacheng give his son Xu Li tutoring like he did during the summer vacation.
"Boss Xu, you misunderstood. It's really not about the money!" Zhou Yu had a headache and explained carefully to Xu Jiacheng on the other end of the phone, "I didn't accept any tutoring jobs during the winter vacation. It's just because I was too tired after being busy for half a year!"
"I just want to take advantage of the winter break to have a good rest, adjust myself, and spend some time with my family. So, during this time, I will not consider anybody's tutoring job."
"I'm really sorry, Boss Xu!" Finally, Zhou Yu apologized to Xu Jiacheng. After all, he was his big money sponsor, and it was necessary to have a good relationship with Xu Jiacheng.
Not to mention anything else, last summer Zhou Yu earned a full 200,000 yuan from Xu Jiacheng's tutoring fees alone, not to mention that Xu Jiacheng gave Zhou Yu and his family a lot of expensive gifts.
If it were someone else, Zhou Yu would just find a random excuse to get rid of the person, but now the person on the other end of the phone was Xu Jiacheng, so an explanation had to be given, and he couldn't offend him because of this.
"Yes, yes, okay, in the summer vacation a few months later, if there are no special circumstances, I can make time for it. Then, Boss Xu, let's contact each other! Okay, okay. Oh, no, no, it's too expensive for you, really no!"
"Okay, let's talk later." After saying this, Zhou Yu said hello to the other party and hung up the phone.
Putting the phone back in his pocket, Zhou Yu turned around and saw his girlfriend's concerned eyes. Zhou Yu signaled his girlfriend to continue walking forward. While walking, he explained to his girlfriend beside him, "Before, the boss Xu from Jiahe called me and asked if I could go to Jiahe and be a tutor for his son Xu Li for a while."
"After I refused, he changed his mind and asked if there was another way. He didn't need me to go to Jiahe. He would ask my family to bring Xu Li to Xiangcheng. He also said that if it didn't work, the tutoring fee could be increased from the original amount."
"I told him, I said it's really not about the money. Winter vacation is so short, there aren't many days, right? Who doesn't want to spend some time with their family? Money can be earned at any time anyway!"
Qiao Meng asked in surprise, "Why is Boss Xu so anxious all of a sudden? When I met him before, I felt that he was a very calm person who would not rush or get impatient when faced with problems."
Zhou Yu shrugged. "From what Xu Jiacheng said, it seems that although Xu Li's grades were improved last summer, the rate of improvement has slowed down since then. Recently, it seems that his grades have not only not improved, but have started to decline."
"So, you also saw it? Boss Xu was in a hurry to find me to give his son Xu Li extra lessons. It can be seen that Boss Xu is indeed a little anxious."
Qiao Meng nodded. "No matter how big the business is, in the eyes of most parents, children always come first. No wonder Boss Xu came to you in such a hurry. But, didn't he think of finding a local teacher to help Xu Li with his lessons?"
"Since Boss Xu's business is so big, how could he not think of this?" Zhou Yu said to Qiao Meng, "He must have looked for it, but the effect was not very good, so he found me."
"That's true!" Qiao Meng nodded slightly, but in her heart she was also proud of her boyfriend's talent.
Only Zhou Yu could attract big bosses like Xu Jiacheng. Would any other teacher be able to do the same? ! Doesn't this just prove that Zhou Yu is very capable!
Although she had a good impression of Xu Jiacheng, and her boyfriend earned a lot of tutoring fees from Xu Jiacheng, Qiao Meng could still tell the difference between closeness and distance, and whether to stand on Zhou Yu or Xu Jiacheng's side.
Therefore, even if she has a good impression of Xu Jiacheng, Qiao Meng will still only consider her boyfriend.
Since her boyfriend doesn't want to, Qiao Meng won't say anything more.
What's more, Zhou Yu used his free time to accompany her. Qiao Meng was very happy so how could she object?
Therefore, Zhou Yu’s words still made Qiao Meng very happy.
"Hehe, let's go to Guogou and have a look!" Qiao Meng grabbed Zhou Yu's arm. She was a little tired from shopping, but now she felt full of energy. "When I was having dinner at your house a few days ago, I heard your aunt mention that she and uncle haven't bought new clothes for the New Year yet!"
"It just so happens that my parents haven't bought any clothes yet, so let's go shopping at Guogou and help them look!"
Zhou Yu would definitely not object to his girlfriend's proposal.
So, Zhou Yu took Qiao Meng and changed direction at the next intersection, heading towards the Gogo Plaza.
