Seeing Xu Jianian's expectant and inquisitive expression, Jiang Sheng smiled slightly, his face showing calmness and confidence.
"Don't worry about that. My spoken English is pretty good. In the college entrance exam, I only lost a few points on the final essay, which was a perfect score."
"With your English grades, tutoring you shouldn't be a problem."
Moreover, in his previous life, he had worked for a foreign company for a period of time. He originally had good English, but his spoken English was not good. He worked hard in the foreign company to hone his fluent spoken English in order to make a living.
Of course, he wouldn't say any of this; he would simply use his college entrance exam English score as the reason.
As expected, Xu Jianian's face was full of smiles upon hearing Jiang Sheng's words.
"That would be wonderful! My mom would be so happy if she knew there was an English genius from Yenching University who could tutor me in English!"
More importantly, as long as Jiang Shenglai becomes her English tutor, she can see him from time to time!
Then, he wouldn't need to make excuses every day to drag Su Ruoxue to school to find Jiang Sheng anymore.
Jiang Sheng saw through Xu Jianian's thoughts at a glance, but he didn't expose them.
He simply smiled and used serving chopsticks to scoop a spoonful of soup for Xu Jianian.
"Alright, about the English tutor, I'll go with you to talk to the auntie in a little while. You should eat your meal first, there's no rush."
Xu Jianian nodded quickly, wishing she could finish her meal right away and then quickly take Jiang Sheng home to find her mother.
The meal was extremely comfortable and pleasant. After the meal, Jiang Sheng accompanied Xu Jianian as agreed and soon returned to Xu Jianian's home.
The person who opened the door was Xu Jianian's housekeeper. As soon as the door opened, Xu Jianian didn't even have time to introduce Jiang Sheng to the housekeeper before waving to the woman sitting in the living room.
"Mom, I brought an English tutor with me today!"
The woman sitting on the living room sofa looked up, a hint of surprise on her well-maintained face, and stared directly at Jiang Sheng.
When she saw Jiang Sheng, she subconsciously raised her eyebrows slightly.
Isn't this the family member of the classmate they met when they went to the restaurant to celebrate their achievements on the eve of the Lunar New Year, and who was having dinner with Teacher Zhou?
The woman sat up from the sofa, gave Jiang Sheng a polite smile, then turned her gaze to Xu Jianian and gently scolded him.
"Guests have come to our house, and they don't even know how to behave properly. They have no manners whatsoever."
Although that's what she said, there was clearly no reproach in her voice; instead, it was full of doting affection.
Xu Jianian simply stuck out her tongue slightly: "Jiang Sheng is no ordinary person. He's a friend of mine, and a top student from Peking University. His English is excellent!"
Upon hearing this, the woman smiled slightly at Jiang Sheng and spoke very politely.
"Hello, please come in first before we talk."
Jiang Sheng nodded and followed the woman into the living room, where he sat on the sofa opposite her.
After both sides introduced themselves, Mrs. Xu learned that the young man named Jiang Sheng, who was a family member of Teacher Zhou's friend, was not only her daughter's friend, but also a freshman at Yenching University.
The young man in front of me was handsome and talented, and a top student from a prestigious university.
Knowing this, Madam Xu was already half satisfied.
When she learned from her daughter that Jiang Sheng's college entrance examination English score was almost perfect, she was extremely satisfied.
"Since my daughter recommended you as my English tutor, Mr. Jiang, I am quite satisfied with you."
Mrs. Xu made no attempt to hide her thoughts, saying, "In that case, Mr. Jiang, why don't we try paying for a month? If my daughter's English grades improve, I'll pay you four thousand yuan a month for tutoring. What do you think, Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Sheng was taken aback at first, then quickly smiled and waved his hand.
"Mrs. Xu, you are too kind. I have classes during the week and only have time to tutor Miss Xu in English in the evenings."
"Besides, four thousand a month is too much. Since Miss Xu and I are friends, we don't need that much. Two thousand a month is enough."
In this day and age, being able to earn two thousand a month is already quite a lot.
The reason Jiang Sheng asked for two thousand was entirely because his English was indeed excellent and could improve Xu Jianian's English within a month.
Looking at the young man before her, she was neither humble nor arrogant, and her manners were impeccable.
Madam Xu was even more satisfied and agreed to Jiang Sheng's request without hesitation.
The two signed the contract, and since it was still early, Jiang Sheng decided to stay and personally tutor Xu Jianian in English.
Inside the study, Jiang Sheng watched as Xu Jianian diligently wrote his English test paper, occasionally answering some of Xu Jianian's questions.
When Jiang Sheng checked the completed test paper, he also discovered some of Xu Jianian's weaknesses.
After a thorough explanation, two hours had passed in the blink of an eye.
It will be three o'clock in half an hour, and Jiang Sheng still has to go to class then.
So in the end, I said goodbye to Mrs. Xu and Xu Jianian and walked back to the school.
Watching Jiang Sheng's disappearing figure, Madam Xu withdrew her gaze and subconsciously looked at her daughter beside her, only to find that Xu Jianian's gaze had not turned away, her eyes still fixed on the direction where Jiang Sheng had long since vanished.
"Little New Year!"
Madam Xu's words interrupted Xu Jianian's thoughts, prompting her to quickly regain her composure.
With a hint of guilt on her face, Xu Jianian gave Madam Xu a sweet smile.
"What's wrong, Mom?"
Madam Xu lingered on Xu Jianian with a meaningful look for a moment before clearing her throat.
"Mom has been through this before, and she can see what you're thinking. There are some things you can't hide from me."
As soon as he said those words, Xu Jianian blushed and awkwardly turned his face away.
"Mom, what are you talking about? I didn't mean anything by it."
Xu Jianian felt guilty and uneasy as her mother found out so quickly.
Now is the crucial time of senior year in high school. If her mother finds out, what should she do if she is not allowed to have any contact with Jiang Sheng anymore?
Xu Jianian felt uneasy and suddenly regretted bringing Jiang Sheng along.
"I know what you're thinking," Mrs. Xu smiled slightly, noticing her daughter's unease. "I can tell that Jiang Sheng is a good boy. A top student from Peking University shouldn't be a bad person. I'll observe him for a while longer. Of course, before he gets into university, I won't allow you to do anything out of line!"
