The next day, Ziyi was awakened by a clear whistle.
After sleeping on the camp bed all night, her hands and feet were numb and she felt dizzy. She touched her cell phone and looked at the time: 05:00.
"Teacher Li, didn't you say half past five?"
I don't know what time Li Hai really got up. The big pot in the yard was already steaming. Seeing Ziyi and Qin Yuhuan, she pointed to the red thermos on the ground and said, "I'm boiling this for you two to wash up. The washbasin is over there, there's only one. There's no one for Ziyi. Buy another one for two dollars and fifty cents. The towel and toothbrush together are five dollars. Want to buy it?"
Ziyi & Qin Yuhuan: ...
"I'd like to request a towel and a toothbrush." Ziyi raised her hand. "I'll transfer the money to your card."
"Okay." Li Haizhen turned around and went to the house to find a toothbrush set. As for the towel...
She was carrying a red and white plastic bag, "Pick the color you like."
Ziyi looked at a pile of retro towels that looked like they were from the 1980s and 1990s: ...
After reluctantly picking a grass green one, Ziyi became quite curious. "Teacher, you said you wanted to settle the five cents, so why don't you improve the place a little so you can attract more business?"
A group of children came in the dark, with a small, uneven stainless steel basin hanging next to their worn-out schoolbags. When they saw Li Haizhen, they put down their schoolbags and came over with the basins to line up.
Li Haizhen distributed steamed buns, eggs and milk to each of them one by one. The children took their breakfast and sat down on the tire nearby or squatted to eat.
After breakfast was served, Li Haizhen squatted beside Ziyi and spoke, "They have no money. Now they have to walk an hour or two to go to school. Look at their shoes, they don't fit. When they get torn, they just patch them up and keep wearing them. The shoes are too small and squeeze their toes so hard that they bleed. I want to build a school for them. The adults' living conditions are almost the same. Anyway, if you want to come, come. If not, I'll go out to work."
Ziyi: ...
It is sad, but Teacher Li is also very honest.
"Doesn't the government provide subsidies?" Qin Yuhuan transferred the peeled egg to Ziyi's bowl and began to peel another. "I remember that they started supporting rural areas a long time ago."
"Yes, but the people in the village are uneducated and have shallow eyes. It's useless to help them."
Li Haizhen said indifferently, pointing at one of the children, "We gave them piglets and told them to raise pigs. When his father found out, he came back and sold the pigs, saying that raising pigs was tiring and that their food was more expensive than people. He didn't want to raise them. He'd rather go out and do odd jobs every now and then, hoping to have more children and give birth to a genius who could make the family rich overnight. He has six children, and he's the youngest. The other five are already working as screwdrivers."
This was not something that could not be said, and the child did not react at all. He just ate the meat bun in big mouthfuls, not wasting any food.
"I just want them to read more and not be like their parents, who rely on having children to get rich all day long. If the previous generation fails, the next generation can still save them."
So she never gave these children money, but she provided them with food and drink for two meals a day, and did not ask them to pack up the food to take out. They could only eat in the yard. At most, if she cooked too much, she would pack some for the elderly at home.
After the children left, Li Haizhen started training Qin Yuhuan. At the beginning, it was all basic exercises to improve physical strength, such as weighted running and lifting weights.
Ziyi didn't leave. She watched Li Haizhen carrying two buckets of manure and walking briskly on the muddy road, while Qin Yuhuan was running behind him with a five-pound weight bag on his back.
Fang Da's manager had just fallen asleep when Ziyi called and woke her up. She turned on the bedside lamp in the dark and put on her glasses. "You better be serious. You stayed up all night last night to support Shi Nianzhi."
Ziyi laughed a few times and said, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to ask where you found this coach Qin Yuhuan. He's quite a funny guy."
Fang Jinyao yawned. "Many friends in the circle studied with her before. Don't be fooled by the low tuition and remote location, it seems like they are trying to trick you into going to northern Myanmar. She retired due to injury, and I heard that she has seen blood on her hands. Yu Huan told me that she wanted to learn something real. I asked around and even visited many schools before deciding on her."
Ziyi was curious: "How cheap is the tuition?"
Fang Jinyao: "Eight thousand a month, including food and lodging, Xiao Qin only charges twenty-four thousand for three months, isn't that cheap? Other places start at a hundred thousand."
Ziyi: ...
The monthly tuition of 8,000 yuan is indeed cheap for the entertainment industry, which is a gold-consuming place.
"What do you think about me abducting her to be Qin Yuhuan's bodyguard?" Ziyi pondered. "The main thing is to make sure her background is clean. She may not be needed now, but she will be needed sooner or later."
"Speaking of this, I'm quite curious why you don't have a bodyguard." Not to mention Ziyi, even Fang Jinyao herself, her family had to have some means of protection for her before she came of age.
"I grew up in Licheng, a place outside the fourth or fifth tier cities. Isn't that low-key enough?" Ziyi smiled casually. "No one knows I'm the child of the richest family in Jincheng. Everyone thinks my mother is just an ordinary person who runs a milk tea shop. Who would dare to take advantage of me? As for now... it's a secret."
In fact, everyone around her is skilled, including herself. Her mobile phone has also been modified. One click can trigger the home's 24-hour alarm system with precise positioning. Even if the phone is thrown into water or destroyed in fire, it will not affect the positioning transmission. No matter what happens, she can still drag someone over.
"Okay, the secret of the richest man's family."
Fang Jinyao wasn't particularly curious, so she returned to the point. "As for this person, she has her own ideas. Someone wanted to recruit her as a bodyguard before, but she didn't agree. Perhaps the person trying to recruit her was reluctant to pay. Don't worry, she's reliable. Whether you can recruit someone for Yu Huan depends on your financial ability. I can offer her a salary of 10,000 yuan during the probation period, and a maximum of 30,000 yuan after becoming a regular employee. You can make up the difference. Just tell me a little bit. I've been spending quite a bit on Shi Nianzhi lately."
Ziyi: ...
It’s okay, the salary Fang Jinyao gives is not bad.
When Qin Yuhuan was forced to do horse stance in the yard, Ziyi extended an olive branch to Li Haizhen.
"Bodyguard? No." Li Haizhen refused bluntly.
"Don't be so quick to refuse without even listening to my conditions." Ziyi seemed very confident.
Qin Yuhuan's cat-like curiosity was about to be piqued, but Li Haizhen placed a stick of incense under her butt and asked her to squat to a height where her butt would feel hot.
If she wanted to sit down on the ground, she would get burned by the incense if she wasn't careful. Forget about standing up, because the serious teacher Li was staring at her with a rolling pin in his hand.
Qin Yuhuan: ...
She was someone who barely passed the 800-meter physical test, but...
