It was also through this college entrance examination that Gu Qingning realized that she had thought things were too difficult.
In this era, exam-oriented education had not yet developed as rapidly as it did in later generations, and many question types were relatively clear and simple, not as complex and varied as they were in later generations.
As one of the candidates who had to compete against each other for a single-plank bridge in the future, Gu Qingning felt that answering such a question was a dimensionality reduction attack.
She suddenly thought that she had such good grades in the exam, and many neighbors had asked her if she could teach their children and were willing to spend some money. As long as she was the first to open a tutoring class, she could really make a lot of money.
Soon, Gu Qingning asked Lu Changqing to help contact several future alumni.
Within the same circle of the Lu family in Beijing, there are indeed several children who have been admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University.
Gu Qingning asked him to select a few people with good character to come over: "When we recruit students, we also give priority to families with good conditions and not too many problems. We will try it out on a small scale first. If there are any problems, we will still have to find a way to escape. If there are no major problems, we can secretly expand it a little, but we can't make it too big."
Gu Qingning was originally here to make money, not to do charity, so she would naturally only choose students and parents who came from better-off families and were willing to spend money on this.
Gu Qingning didn't expect that someone would come to her door so soon after she spread the news.
That day, she enrolled at least 50 students.
Gu Qingning introduced one-on-one or one-on-few tutoring services to the future students of these top universities. She only charged an introduction fee and an agency fee, and did not form a complete employment relationship.
In this way, she can also reduce the risk to a more reasonable range.
At the same time, she also trained all these teachers, telling them how to be a good tutor, and trained them on confidentiality to ensure that they would not easily tell these things.
We are all future classmates, and they do this to earn some extra money. Some of them come from less well-off families and need to earn tuition fees in this way, so naturally everyone keeps their mouths shut.
Soon, Gu Qingning had a considerable income.
Lu Changqing smiled and touched his money-obsessed wife's hair: "Look at you, you are simply obsessed with money!"
Gu Qingning smiled and said, "Everyone says money stinks, but this smell is different. In my opinion, there is nothing more fragrant than money."
Lu Changqing also asked curiously: "I remember you told me that in a few decades, tutoring classes like the ones you are running now will be everywhere. Even people from ordinary families will spend money and find ways to help their children get a few more points in the college entrance examination."
Gu Qingning nodded. "That's right. In the future, although the college entrance examination is not absolutely fair, it is the only relatively fair competitive assessment. Everyone on this track is working hard. They are desperately competing internally. Everyone is up early and awake to get a few more points.
To a certain extent, the college entrance examination has eliminated and smoothed out many of the disparities caused by region, class, family, and gender, but it has also created a new problem.
Lu Changqing asked curiously: "What's the problem?"
Gu Qingning looked at him seriously: "We all know that although my college entrance examination score is exactly the same as yours, does that mean that our talents are exactly the same?"
Lu Changqing was stunned for a moment: "We just have different areas of expertise. How can we compare?"
Gu Qingning smiled and said, "It's not that simple. Chang Qing, remove the filter of me being your wife and think carefully. When we are given the same difficult problem, for those that I have never seen before, can I quickly find multiple solutions like you and easily see through the thoughts and tricks of the questioner?
Compared to you, my advantage lies solely in the experience accumulated through the sea of problem-solving. In reality, with my own abilities, it's difficult for me to truly make a significant contribution to academia; my ceiling has reached this point. Of course, in later generations, I'm even more involuntarily scrambled, but for those true academic masters and influential figures, a 985 degree is my limit.
My success is just like the sons of martial arts masters who were born with natural talents and treasures in martial arts novels. I have mediocre qualifications, but I rely on the protection of my parents, the support of my family, and the tutoring classes and nutritional supplements that were piled on me like they were free. In essence, I am just a good-for-nothing who loves money like his life.
This is also why, after so many years of the college entrance exam, it's become increasingly difficult for people from disadvantaged backgrounds to become successful. Blessed with wealth and connections, truly talented individuals are often suffocated by the burdens of life, unable to reach higher levels. Meanwhile, people like me can effortlessly ascend to the halls of their dreams. My starting point is an end point they will never reach.
This was the first time Lu Changqing heard Gu Qingning say such words, and he felt it was truly enlightening.
He hugged her tightly: "This is not your problem."
"Of course I know. I just sighed that it's impossible for us to find a completely fair selection method. Just like we can't touch the truth, we can only get infinitely close to it."
Gu Qingning was not pessimistic. She quickly got over her emotions and devoted herself to the endless business of making money.
However, how she spends the money is different from before.
Gu Qingning had other ideas.
She not only wants to live a good life herself, but also wants all those who have ideals to strive for to live a good life!
After Gu Qingning had this idea, she began to put it into practice.
A few days later, Qi Yanfang really took the initiative to come to her.
"Sister Qing Ning, as long as you're willing to take me in, as long as you're willing to pay my tuition, I'll do anything for you. I'm willing to work like a slave for you to repay your kindness! I'm willing to sever all ties with my parents forever, and draw a clear line between us forever!"
She cried loudly and looked particularly pitiful. Gu Qingning knew that her hesitant nature might have caused her to suddenly and resolutely break off relations with her parents because she had encountered something more difficult to accept than asking her sister to go to college in her place.
Gu Qingning was very calm: "This matter is not that simple. You must tell me what happened to you during this process? Did you and your family do anything excessive?"
In this era, political review is still required to enter university.
Gu Qingning had to make sure that their family members did not do anything illegal, otherwise, she might be implicated one day.
Although the unrest ended in October of this year, it doesn't mean that everything is safe...
