Chapter 50: Bragging without thinking
"I'm sorry, the truck broke down. I'm so sorry. I'll definitely deliver it to you tomorrow..."
After hanging up the phone with the express company, Zhou Anan couldn't help but press his eyebrows. A nameless anger rose up and then subsided again.
After years of social experience, Zhou Anan realized that getting angry is useless.
Stay calm, stay calm, it's just an accident.
Today's logistics industry is far from being as convenient as it will be more than ten years later. There are only a few expressways in Jiangxi Province, connecting the provincial capital and major economic cities.
It was just four boxes of advertising fans. The journey from Wencheng to Lucheng was only 200 kilometers, but it took four full days. The fans should have arrived last night, but they could not be delivered because the truck broke down on the way.
As it stands, we’ll have to make do with paper flyers on tomorrow’s registration day.
He did what he said and quickly went to the printing shop on Huipu Road. Zhou Anan added two hundred yuan and asked the boss to print 3,000 more red leaflets for him overnight.
Early in the morning, a group of girls wearing Adidas short-sleeved shirts gathered in the small conference room of the training class. The chirping of girls made Zhou Anan feel a little better.
In order to make his own training class appear more formal, Zhou Anan went to the Adidas store and ordered a batch of last year's summer short-sleeves at a 50% discount. They look pretty good so far.
Of course, even at a 50% discount, it is still a high price for today’s students, and it can be considered a benefit.
"Hey, aren't you handing out fans?"
When she saw a large stack of red paper flyers on the ground for the first time, Tian Tiantian asked in confusion.
"It might rain today, and the weather isn't hot, so I won't hand out fans yet. I'll hand out flyers first."
Looking at the cloudy sky outside, Zhou Anan felt that her mood was just like the sky outside, and she was off to a bad start.
He didn't say anything about the problems with the express delivery. As a boss, he should have the demeanor of a boss and remain calm in times of crisis.
The flyers that he had previously disliked reappeared in the hands of each girl, ready to be transferred from their hands to the hands of the students' parents.
Fortunately, it is not the same as ten years ago when training departments were everywhere, so the conspicuous red flyers should have some effect.
"Oh, then should I wear Bumblebee?"
Pointing to the Benny Bear costume in the corner, Tian Tiantian said with a smile.
She was lucky enough to win the chance to wear a Benny Bear costume and hand out flyers, which was so adorable, and she also got an extra 20 bucks.
"OK."
Although she was in a bad mood, Zhou Anan did not look sullen. She nodded with a faint smile.
After talking about some precautions, Zhou Anan clapped his hands and asked everyone to proceed as planned.
The annual school opening season has started as scheduled. Compared with the competition from tutoring classes everywhere more than ten years later, there are not many training departments that have improved in the past two years because the education department has repeatedly prohibited in-service teachers from supervising students. There are only three or four people handing out flyers at the gate of a school.
Holding a Benny Bear costume, Tian Tiantian and Chen Rou, holding a small box of red flyers, came to the gate of Haizhou Middle School not far from the tutoring class.
It was still early, and taking advantage of the few people around, Tian Tiantian, with a slightly blushing face, quickly changed into her Benny Bear jacket with the help of Chen Rou, and handed a small plate of flyers to the parents and students passing by.
I have to say that this stupid bear looks very cute and attractive.
Compared to Chen Rou and several other people who were handing out flyers in the tutoring classes, the number of flyers in Tian Tiantian's hands was decreasing at an alarming rate. The expected one thousand flyers was not a difficult task.
After sending the other people out to their respective schools, Zhou Anan sat quietly in the reception room drinking tea, occasionally taking a look at Miss Qin at the front desk.
Everything is ready, but Zhou Anan has no control over whether or not she can recruit students.
Compared with the fierce competition in the after-school tutoring industry in his previous life, which he entered six years later, Zhou Anan only remembers that 2005 and 2006 were the two years when the tutoring industry was booming, and also the golden age for laying the foundation for becoming a leader in the future education industry.
The gradual implementation of nine-year compulsory education and the repeated orders from relevant departments have forced some teachers who originally taught students to wait and see for the time being to avoid losing their iron rice bowls, thus allowing off-campus training institutions to usher in a spring of development.
Well, Zhou Anan, who was thinking about irrelevant issues in her mind, felt again that Miss Qin's appearance and figure were indeed worthy of praise.
Even Li Yan, his classmate whom he had a crush on in college in his previous life, and Shi Mingxia, who was considered to have the best figure by his male classmates, were much inferior to him. They were equivalent to an enhanced version of the two of them combined.
Chase, chase, chase...
Just as Zhou Anan was struggling with a philosophical question, the glass door at the front door was pushed open and Miss Qin's crisp welcome voice rang out.
"Hello, please sit here."
Following the instructions of the boss, Qin Lianjun, wearing a uniform of Adidas, led the parent to the reception area.
The older woman looked at the very pretty receptionist and her expression turned a little unhappy.
"Hello, please take a seat."
Zhou Anan smiled and asked the parents to sit down. She handed them a glass of water and asked casually, "Does your child need after-school tutoring?"
"Well, what is after-school tutoring like for elementary schools here?"
After taking a look at the environment, the female head of the family, who was in her thirties, nodded secretly.
"After-school tutoring in elementary school is like this. After school, we go to the school to pick up the children to do their homework. We have dinner at 5:30, take a 15-minute break after dinner, and then continue to complete the homework. After all the homework is completed, we have a special teacher to tutor the children in the courses they are lacking, and there are corresponding points rewards to motivate the children..."
Years of teaching career have cultivated Zhou Anan's habit of speaking freely without blushing or getting nervous, and she is also very good at bragging.
People are forced to do things. Who would have thought that Zhou Anan, who is so good at fooling people now, would blush when handing out flyers at the beginning of the training department in her previous life, and she didn't dare to take the initiative to chat with parents.
Money is really a magical thing.
"Um."
I asked a few random questions and the female head nodded repeatedly.
Afterwards, Zhou Anan took the parents upstairs to see the classroom. The simple and elegant decoration and air-conditioning configuration immediately conquered the parents.
“Can the price be a little cheaper?”
Although she was quite satisfied with the environment of the tutoring class, the female parent still had some complaints about the price of 2,500 yuan. You know, other tutoring classes near the school charge around 1,600 to 1,800 yuan, which is a huge difference.
"This price is already very favorable. As you can see, we have classes for each grade, with a maximum of ten people in each class. There are dedicated teachers for Chinese and math. In many other tutoring classes, one teacher teaches all subjects, and the number of students is not small..."
On this point, Zhou Anan boasted and belittled the rest of his peers without any pressure at all.
Compared with other training departments that are still in the exploratory stage, Zhou Anan can be 100% sure who can be better than him.
"But 2,500 is too expensive. You know, our monthly salary is not that much..."
Faced with such routine, the female parent also began to complain.
