Zhang Ying was stunned for a moment, pointing to herself in disbelief. Her English was average, not outstanding at Tsinghua University, and not as good as a top student like Chu Yu.
"I can't do it, can I?"
Chu Yu disagreed. “Your English does have a bit of an accent, but that’s not something that can’t be corrected. Everyone starts from scratch. If you want to start an English training class, you can cram for a few months, studying for more than ten hours a day. If that doesn’t work, you can go to Hong Kong and find a teacher for systematic training. You can bring Hong Kong’s advanced educational concepts to China and definitely be able to teach these people who have no foundation.”
Zhang Ying married young, has a mature temperament, and possesses a straightforward and cheerful demeanor, like a big sister. Being from the North, she is naturally decisive and efficient, making her well-suited for training.
Chu Yu thought Zhang Ying should really give the training course a try.
In 1990, there were very few training courses on the market, and even fewer that were good.
Many people have a need for English learning, and Zhang Ying's status as a Tsinghua University graduate is a great asset. With her reputation as a mentor to top Tsinghua students, many students will definitely come to her because of her academic qualifications.
Zhang Ying has experience in the clothing industry. Of course, the clothing industry and the training courses are unrelated, but many things can be learned in one way. Zhang Ying is good at communicating with people, so she can get things done. If she practices her English more, what can't she do?
Besides, the training center will also hire other teachers and foreign teachers. Zhang Ying doesn't need to do everything herself. She just needs to focus on developing English teaching models and laying a solid foundation!
Shen Zhuyu also said excitedly:
"That's a great idea! If you can get the training program up and running, we'll definitely need you for our Mandarin overseas training program!"
Zhang Ying swallowed hard. Without a doubt, if she could secure a spot in the Mandarin overseas training program, she would have a fixed income every year, and Chu Yu, Chen Zhuyu, and Shu Lan would all introduce her to jobs.
But she still had some concerns.
“My husband bought a big truck for transportation, and business has been good lately. He wants to buy another one, but we can’t afford to send me to training classes.”
Running a training center requires school buildings and hiring teachers. Teachers' salaries are not low, and if Zhang Ying can't recruit students, she won't have the money to continue.
Zhang Ying is under a lot of pressure.
Her husband's business was stable, and Zhang Ying couldn't possibly let him not buy a car. Running a transportation business was also a lucrative one. However, she also felt that Chu Yu's words made sense. The training market was untapped, and doing training was a very respectable job. Zhang Ying was a graduate of Tsinghua University and had strong learning abilities, so she would definitely be able to gain something from training.
Chu Yu smiled and said, "Money is no problem, I'll invest in you."
Shen Zhuyu laughed along, "That's right, Chu Yu is a rich person. If you're friends with her, you won't have to worry about not being able to attract investment."
Zhang Ying breathed a sigh of relief. Chu Yu came up with the idea herself and even sent the money. In the end, she was just the executor and would get a share of the profits. Zhang Ying had no reason to object.
"Then it's settled, we'll do training!"
“No problem, but before that, you need to cram on your English and figure out how to teach English courses. You can also go to Hong Kong for training. People in Hong Kong have a higher level of English, and there are quite a few training classes. If you can learn their model, it will definitely be very advanced for the mainland.”
Zhang Ying agreed and decided to study English for 15 hours every day starting today.
I listen to foreign radio broadcasts every day, read English newspapers and books, and frantically memorize vocabulary.
Zhang Ying's English isn't outstanding, but it's not bad either. With a few months of intensive training, and then going to Gangcheng for advanced training, there's nothing she can't do!
However, there is another issue to be resolved when setting up an English training class, namely the approval process.
These days, it's easy for university professors to get approval for training programs, but they can't get a school operating license in their personal capacity.
Zhang Ying tried several times but failed to get the approval.
Chu Yu asked in confusion, "Who needs to approve it?"
“The district’s adult education bureau is the one that issues certificates, but they don’t issue certificates to individuals.”
