Chapter 47
Only when people are in desperate situations will they take a gamble and fight with all their might.
There are many accidents and coincidences in Wen Keer's success, but it must be said that she has always been able to turn danger into safety and turn misfortune into blessing along the way.
She comes from the modern era, has a wealth of historical knowledge, and knows that Hong Kong will return in 1997. These are her chips and the confidence she has in taking this gamble.
Weisheng didn't want things to get out of control, and he didn't want Wen Ke'er to have the opportunity to make a desperate move, or even use the "prophet" to cause any impact on the mainland and Hong Kong.
If you give her a stable job and a fixed income, the probability of Wen Keer wanting to take risks will be greatly reduced.
Unlike private elementary schools, the public elementary school in the district Weisheng and Xu Zhirui had chosen had few children from wealthy families, and both students and teachers came from ordinary families. This alone would prevent Wen Ke'er from accepting students from other social classes.
Nowadays, students only have one day off per day. Although students finish school at 3 or 4 p.m., teachers must stay until 5 p.m. Hong Kong was still very chaotic at that time. Wen Ke'er, who had received a lot of anti-trafficking education in modern times, would not think of strolling around Hong Kong at night after work.
With only one day off per week, Wen Ke'er, a worker with little money and who often has to get up early every day, is very likely to sleep in on weekends. However, as a teacher, she enjoys winter and summer vacations just like other faculty and students.
Summer vacation lasts about six weeks, and winter vacation is about three. It's a long time, and if I leave her like this, she might stray from her own boundaries. So, Weisheng plans to run an English cram school during the summer and winter vacations.
She provided the place, Wen Ke'er provided the people, and then they split the income in half.
In this way, Wen Ke'er's time is completely filled, and it is not so easy for her to return to the plot again.
This is equivalent to trapping Wen Ke'er in a circle in a very gentle way without her even realizing it.
Oh, because of the joint tutoring class, Weisheng also has an extra income.

Instead of going to a fancy restaurant, Weisheng just found a random ice cream parlor. After ordering two meals each, he told Wen Ke'er about his plans and his idea for an English cram school.
Wen Ke'er didn't expect Weisheng to give her an answer so quickly, and the arrangements were so good. She could finally put her mind at ease.
Wen Ke'er called Weisheng just to ask him to help her get into Minsheng and find a job with similar salary and benefits to help her get through the difficult times temporarily. Unexpectedly, after Weisheng heard about her plan, he only arranged to meet today to discuss it.
An elementary school teacher's salary is 600 yuan a month, and if you have a teaching qualification, the salary is 800 yuan. Excluding rent, 600 yuan allows her to live comfortably in Hong Kong.
In Hong Kong, teachers are paid on time even during summer and winter breaks. So if you run an English tutoring class during those nine weeks, all the money you earn is pure profit.
Maybe after saving money for a few years, she will be able to buy a house in Hong Kong.
No, no, no, I still can’t afford it, because the housing prices in Hong Kong are getting more and more expensive...
Looking at Weisheng who had eaten a plate of rice cleanly, Wen Keer thought of what Weisheng had said to her before and couldn't help but believe it a little more.
Weisheng said that she only has a little pocket money now. Although she seems to have enough food and clothing, she is actually not free. She even feels humble and dependent on others.
He also said that she had to go to Minsheng to work almost every weekend, under the pretext of training her, but in fact she was no different from those workers.
If she does something that doesn't please her father, he will cut off her pocket money.
After talking about his predicament, Weisheng told Wen Keer that the reason she proposed to set up this cram school was that she wanted to earn more money and achieve financial freedom as soon as possible.
As for the housing for the cram school? Weisheng said she had some pocket money and some money from part-time jobs, and that she could scrape together some money by selling the jewelry she brought from the mainland.
There were also prizes for some school competitions. If she ranked first in her grade at the end of the semester, the school would give her a bonus, and her father might also give her some. By the time summer vacation arrived in July, she would have enough money to buy a house.
Although houses in Hong Kong are not cheap, they don't want to buy a very nice or big house, as long as they can run a cram school.
He is a top student and has a rich father, but he still has to scrape together money to buy a house. Even Wen Ke'er doesn't know what to say.
However, in order to satisfy her curiosity, she still asked Wei Zhensheng whether he was good to Wei Sheng. Wei Sheng said in a very resigned tone, "I am your daughter after all."
Just this one sentence made Wen Keer imagine the classic drama of favoring boys over girls.
"Well, no matter what, your father is your father after all. He's so rich, he's bound to give you some. I'm miserable. House prices are so cheap now, but I can't afford to buy a house. When house prices rise to sky-high prices in the future, I won't be able to afford it even more."
Weisheng smiled when he heard this. "What's the big deal? I can't lend you money, but I can help you contact the Hong Kong Housing Association."
"Hong Kong Housing Association?"
Weisheng nodded. "It provides home loans to middle-income families. If you want to buy a house, you can submit an application to them. You have a formal job, and I will ask Secretary Xu to be your guarantor. I will definitely be able to get a loan."
Even if she didn't save much money after working for a year, she would ask Xu Zhirui to go to the Housing Association and say hello, and that would definitely help Wen Keer successfully take out a mortgage.
When Wen Keer heard that she could now get a loan to buy a house, she felt that the future was full of sunshine and hope again.
The next day after eating the dish meal, Wen Keer went to the district national primary school to apply for an English teacher according to the information Weisheng gave her.
Coincidentally, this elementary school is very close to her current subdivided apartment, so working here means she doesn't have to squeeze into the bus or get up too early. Having encountered so many setbacks in her job search, Wen Ke'er deeply cherishes this very respectable and relatively well-paid job.
Weisheng saw that there was no problem with Wen Ke'er, so he asked Xu Zhirui to help him buy a house in a tenement building between the elementary school and Wen Ke'er's residence.
There is no need to do any installation after that. Just simply clean up the doors and windows, the water supply and drainage, paint the walls white, and hang a blackboard in the house.
As for the desks and chairs needed for classes, Weisheng only asked Xu Zhirui to prepare thirty sets of old desks and chairs discarded by the school.
After hearing Xu Zhirui say that cram schools are also commercial operations, Weisheng asked Xu Zhirui to register under Wen Keer's name without further ado.
After finishing all these, Weisheng asked Xu Zhirui to find another house nearby with good conditions in all aspects and buy it, and then simply renovate it.
Given people's sensitivity to housing prices these days, Wen Ke'er would definitely buy a house as soon as possible. Rather than having her look around, it would be better to buy one in advance and wait for her. And since the house is hers, it would be easier to apply for a loan later.
By the way, Weisheng discovered that it was quite easy to obtain household registration and ID cards in Hong Kong at that time. So she put on makeup, a wig, and obtained a passport for herself as a stowaway.
The newly bought house was purchased with that money, so when she sold it to Wen Keer, she didn't even have to lie.
Looking back, I have circled Wen Ke'er in a straight line. Are you still afraid that she will step on innocent people to get to the platform like in the original book?
If that's the case, then don't blame her for sending Wen Ke'er back to the mainland.
If she was really sent back, not to mention how the people in mainland China would deal with her, it would not be easy for her to sneak into Hong Kong again.
The resistance policy was replaced by the catch-and-release policy in October 1980, after which any mainland Chinese who smuggled into Hong Kong would be immediately deported back to the mainland.
However, Wen Ke'er already has a Hong Kong ID card, so even if she is caught while illegally crossing the border, she will not be deported. So after sending Wen Ke'er back to the mainland, she still has to find a way to help Wen Ke'er cancel her ID card...
***
After using his financial power to arrange everything for Wen Ke'er, Weisheng continued to be her high school student.
Just as Weisheng had told Wen Ke'er before, the school did have various competitions, and there would be prize money for being the top student in the final exam. Weisheng felt like this money was free money, so he signed up for everything she was good at.
Not only that, in order to ensure that the bonus for being the first in the grade does not go to someone else, she will reserve two more hours of study time after school every night.
As various high school competitions started one after another, Wen Keer often received the good news that Weisheng had won prizes.
Three hundred today, five hundred tomorrow, and one thousand the day after tomorrow.
Seeing Weisheng making money so easily, Wen Keer miraculously did not feel jealous for the first time.
Most people envy others for their wealthy backgrounds, but deep down they may be jealous of their own parents' lack of support.
But being jealous of the top students... isn't that blaming yourself for not being smart enough or not working hard enough?
There are so many things you can blame others for, so don't be hard on yourself.
╮(╯▽╰)╭
In July, Weisheng won the first place in the grade. Not only did the school give her a bonus, but Wei Zhensheng also gave her a red envelope.
Afterwards, Weisheng discussed with Wei Zhensheng about going to his company to work as an intern during the summer vacation.
She used to go to Minsheng, but that was always after waking up on Sundays, doing odd jobs for a few hours, and driving home after dark, just like playing. But summer vacation was a month and a half long, and she had already arranged tutoring for Wen Ke'er, so how could she not arrange some regular business for herself?
And according to the memory prompts he received, Wei Zhensheng might encounter some minor troubles recently.
In business.
In the original plot, Wen Ke'er, a fake daughter, had to help, but now only she, the biological daughter, has to take over.
Weisheng's idea was to learn how to work under Xu Zhirui, the boss's secretary, and also get the latest news. Wei Zhensheng unexpectedly thought the same thing as Weisheng and also arranged for Weisheng to be under Xu Zhirui's supervision.
After getting the explanation, Weisheng turned around and took Wen Ke'er to the cram school classroom in the tenement building. After looking at the classroom, Weisheng took out a win-win contract drafted by a professional lawyer and signed it with Wen Ke'er.
Weisheng didn't cheat her. It was a conscientious contract without any traps.
After that, Weisheng didn't need to do anything else. Wen Keer took the flyers she had prepared in advance and started distributing them. Then, on the third day of the elementary school's summer vacation, the English cram school officially started.
It seemed as if everything was developing as Weisheng wished, but after she entered Minsheng headquarters to work with Xu Zhirui and often appeared next to Wei Zhensheng, she also became the target of some people.
It wouldn't be a commercial marriage, after all, Weisheng was still a high school student. But those who wanted to take the unconventional approach didn't care about Weisheng's age.
When they discovered that Weisheng did not live in Repulse Bay, and usually lived alone, and almost always went in and out alone, a gang in Hong Kong that loved to kidnap wealthy people and their children began to target Weisheng.
Weisheng's life is very regular. Since he went to Minsheng to work during the summer vacation, he goes to get off work and comes home normally from Monday to Saturday, and then walks to the supermarket or vegetable market near his home every Sunday afternoon to do some shopping.
Because Xu Zhirui often went home with Weisheng for acupuncture and fumigation after get off work in the evening, and the time was not fixed, those people set the date of action on Sunday afternoon.
On Sunday, Weisheng slept in naturally, went to the painting world to pick up fresh chicken and duck eggs for the day, and then picked some fruit before leaving. He lazily stayed there until three or four in the afternoon, then went out with his basket of vegetables.
I still bought a lot of seafood, but most of them were braised. Also, since I went early today, I also bought a large cuttlefish in brine.
I was walking home happily when a car suddenly stopped on the road beside me.
First there was a sharp brake sound, and then several men with fierce faces jumped out of the car.
When Weisheng looked over, he found that those people were not only looking at her, but also moving quickly towards her.
At this moment, a sentence in Tianjin dialect passed through Weisheng's mind:
'Oh my goodness, this is coming for me!'
