Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 190 Youqiantu's First Order

"Yes! Next! When is it convenient for the parents to come over and talk?" Shen Qingqing didn't waste any time and readily agreed, wanting to finalize the next steps quickly.

It sounded like Wu Fangyi was communicating directly with the parents. After a few indistinct sounds, Wu Fangyi's voice came back: "The parents hope it can be done today or tomorrow, as soon as possible, since the exam is this summer."

"OK, I understand. I'll head over now! Fangyi, please send the address to my phone!" Shen Qingqing said and then hung up the phone with Wu Fangyi.

After putting her phone away in her bag, Shen Qingqing looked at Chen Jiaxin again and asked, "Do you want to come with me to take a look?"

……

Chen Jiaxin eventually went out with Shen Qingqing.

Before leaving, Shen Qingqing told her to bring some report cards and test papers. Chen Jiaxin didn't understand why she needed to bring them, but she did as she was told.

Having visited this neighborhood many times before, Shen Qingqing was already quite familiar with the place, even if she couldn't recognize the way easily.

Chen Jiaxin, on the other hand, had never been here before. As she followed Shen Qingqing, she looked left and right, and after holding back all the way, she finally grabbed Shen Qingqing's wrist and asked, "Qingqing, where is this?"

Shen Qingqing was caught off guard by the pull. When she turned around, she saw Chen Jiaxin looking a little uneasy. She smiled reassuringly and said, "This is where we will mainly be doing tutoring from now on. This community is not far from our school. Many parents bought here in the hope that their children can get into the Experimental School and study all the way from the Experimental Primary School to junior high school graduation."

"However, it's not easy to get into the Experimental Affiliated Primary School, so it's also possible to apply to the Experimental Middle School. In short, the entrance exam for the Experimental Affiliated Primary School is one admission point, and the entrance exam for the Experimental Middle School is another."

"So this neighborhood is a stable source of customers, so there's no need to worry about not having students to teach when you're a tutor."

Shen Qingqing seized every opportunity to persuade Chen Jiaxin.

After listening, Chen Jiaxin gripped the strap of her backpack tightly and followed Shen Qingqing further inside.

Soon, Shen Qingqing saw Wu Fangyi standing downstairs with her parents, waiting for them.

Wu Fangyi also saw them and pointed them out to the parents chatting nearby.

Seeing this, Shen Qingqing quickened her pace and walked over, greeting her first: "Hello, Auntie!"

Chen Jiaxin was a step behind, but quickly and gently greeted them.

Although the parents were somewhat prepared, seeing a child who looked very young accompanied by a seemingly delicate girl still made them uneasy. "Um... Ms. Wu, these two students of yours..."

Wu Fangyi was prepared. She smiled slightly and began to introduce Shen Qingqing to the parents: "This is our grade's number one student, Shen Qingqing. She has been number one for three consecutive years, including when she took the entrance exam to enter the Experimental Middle School. She basically gets full marks in all her exams."

After she finished speaking, she turned to Chen Jiaxin and said, "This is Chen Jiaxin, who is in the top 20 of our grade. Apart from the high school entrance exam results which are not yet available, she has already broken into the top 10 in the most recent exam. She often gets full marks in individual subjects, and her scores in other subjects are also close to full marks."

Having already moved into this community, the parent naturally knew the academic rankings of the Experimental Middle School.

After listening to Wu Fangyi's introduction, Shen Qingqing and Chen Jiaxin's eyes lit up.

Especially Shen Qingqing, it was almost as if they directly asked Shen Qingqing if she would be willing to tutor her child.

"Well..." The parent's face no longer showed the hesitation and uncertainty that it had when they first saw Shen Qingqing and Chen Jiaxin.

Shen Qingqing then spoke up: "Auntie, why don't we go to your house first to see the younger siblings who need tutoring, and then we can talk about how to tutor them in detail, okay?"

The parent immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, come on, come on, I'm so confused, hurry up and come with me!"

Wu Fangyi went along too. She had taken on enough tutoring jobs over the years and was quite adept at taking care of children. She knew what kind of teaching method each child needed and could usually determine that after just one trial lesson.

I went to her house with her parents. She introduced herself as Ms. Ye, from out of town, who married her husband after meeting him. Her child's surname is Chen and his name is Chen Kangqi.

After pouring a few glasses of water for Shen Qingqing and the others, Mrs. Ye asked them to sit down first, and then went upstairs to call the children down.

Soon, the boy with the mohawk hairstyle followed Mrs. Ye downstairs with an impatient look on his face.

As soon as he went downstairs, he saw three girls staring at him. He froze for a moment, but quickly regained his arrogant demeanor and followed Mrs. Ye.

Mrs. Ye was initially quite annoyed by Chen Kangqi's attitude, but when she turned to look at Shen Qingqing and the others, she smiled gently and handed over Chen Kangqi's previous test paper: "Little Shen, take a look, this is our Kangqi's test paper. He is actually quite smart. There are not many students in his class who can do the questions at the end, but our Kangqi did!"

Shen Qingqing smiled as she accepted the test paper, looking at it while listening to Mrs. Ye's words, remaining noncommittal.

Shen Qingqing looked through Chen Kangqi's mistakes and basically grasped the structure of the student's knowledge points. Then she showed the test paper to Chen Jiaxin.

Although Chen Jiaxin has never been a tutor, as a top student, she is still adept at judging a student's skills in mastering knowledge points by looking at test papers.

After she finished reading it, her brow furrowed involuntarily.

She was still just a fifteen-year-old girl, inexperienced in the ways of the world, and not yet adept at controlling her expressions.

Judging from what Mrs. Ye just said, Chen Kangqi's learning ability should be quite good. However, when Chen Jiaxin looked at this test paper, she found many gaps in his knowledge. It seemed that his understanding of the knowledge points was fragmented and not coherent.

Mrs. Ye, who had been smiling, saw Chen Jiaxin's furrowed brows, and her smile faded somewhat. Shen Qingqing, noticing this, asked Chen Jiaxin, "Jiaxin, did you spot any problems with this exam paper?"

Chen Jiaxin almost subconsciously said, "It's clear that this student has a fairly solid grasp of the knowledge points, but he may not pay much attention in class. He might skip a class after studying one lesson, so his knowledge system is not coherent, but he's not completely ignoring the lessons."

After hearing these words, Mrs. Ye's expression changed again, because the problem Chen Jiaxin mentioned was the same one that Chen Kangqi's homeroom teacher had mentioned when she asked him about it at the parent-teacher conference.

Finally, Chen Jiaxin hesitated for a moment before speaking up: "If I don't fill in the gaps in my knowledge system, it will be quite difficult to get into our school. And looking at the questions on the test paper, I've missed quite a few knowledge points. Even if I frantically catch up for more than a month, I might still be at the bottom of the class and get in."

Mrs. Ye was already disappointed when she heard Chen Jiaxin say that it was difficult to get into the university, but when she heard that she could actually pass the exam despite being at the very bottom of the class, her eyes immediately lit up again.

Now, all thoughts of Chen Jiaxin frowning and being unhappy about her son's test paper disappeared. Her face was full of "I knew my son was capable."

She couldn't wait to have Chen Jiaxin tutor her son right now.

Shen Qingqing blinked and said, "If we cram like crazy, the time will be too tight. More than a month, that means we'd have to fill the schedule with at least seven or eight classes a day. These days, elementary school students only have five classes a day, right?"

"When we were in the third year of junior high, we had eight classes a day. Sometimes it was a bit hard to take. Not to mention that our tutors would get up early in the morning to come and teach us, and then leave after dark. Just the fact that Kangqi had to adapt to the change from five classes to eight classes must have been a bit difficult, right?"

Shen Qingqing looked at Mrs. Ye with a genuine expression of concern for Chen Kangqi.

Chen Jiaxin looked at Shen Qingqing, somewhat bewildered, thinking, "Seven or eight classes aren't necessary, five or six a day will suffice..."

Just as she was about to explain things to Shen Qingqing, Wu Fangyi tugged at the back of her clothes.

She glanced over instinctively and saw Wu Fangyi smile at her, then shake her head almost imperceptibly.

Chen Jiaxin's intuition kicked in, and she remained silent.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ye waved her hand decisively, "That's not a problem. This brat usually plays games all day after finishing his homework during holidays. He can sit still for ten hours, let alone seven or eight classes!"

“Kang Qi seems to be a very patient person. If he’s willing to learn, we tutors will definitely do our best to teach him, no matter how hard it is.” Shen Qingqing said this skill off the top of her head. After countless practices since childhood, she has now mastered it.

“No need to tolerate it. We parents know this child ourselves. He usually has a bit of a temper. When he gets angry, he doesn’t listen to anything. I’m usually at home with nothing to do. If you come to teach him, I’ll sit outside the room. If he dares to act out, I’ll hit him immediately. I will never let you put up with his bad temper.” Mrs. Ye’s attitude was also very firm.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingqing understood and readily continued the conversation, "That's great. Generally speaking, with a parent as responsible as Aunt Ye, as long as the child is also diligent, their grades will definitely improve."

After Shen Qingqing finished her summary, she took out her report card and the grade ranking list that she had kept from Fang Chengying from her bag. She also asked Chen Jiaxin to take them out and handed them to Mrs. Ye: "Aunt Ye, these are our report cards and grade ranking lists. We can't just say what our grades are based on words. We need to show you the evidence."

Mrs. Ye took the test papers and forms handed to her by the two women. As soon as she opened the test paper, a bright red score of 150 was written in the upper left corner, followed by the scores for the minor subjects other than the three main subjects. Mrs. Ye almost didn't recognize the number 100 anymore.

Looking at the ranking list again, the first place is indeed Shen Qingqing, the same name as on the test paper, and the same as when Wu Fangyi introduced her.

Further down the list, you can find Chen Jiaxin's name.

After seeing all this, Mrs. Ye's expression was one of utmost satisfaction. She smiled and handed the things back, saying, "You're all top students! With you teaching my Kangqi, I can rest assured!"

Shen Qingqing smiled slightly and changed the subject.

"Now let's talk about the tuition fees!"

“Aunt Ye, you must already know about Fangyi’s tuition fees. Her current tuition fee is between 200 and 280 yuan per lesson, after all, her grades speak for themselves. As for us, we also set our prices based on the teacher’s overall abilities.”

"The teacher next to me, Ms. Chen, charges 150 yuan per hour. There are two trial modes. The first is that the first three lessons are free, and the fourth lesson, which is the fourth hour, is when the fee starts to be charged."

"The second option is that the first three days of the course are a trial class at 60% of the original price. After the trial class, we will prepare another test paper of the same difficulty level based on Kang Qi's final exam paper for him to take. Then we will see if he wants to continue the course. If he does continue the course, he will be charged at the normal price."

"I prefer that you try the second model with Aunt Ye. The first model is usually only used by parents who trust us a lot. But since this is our first time working together, we also want you to see our tutoring capabilities first."

Shen Qingqing spoke very sincerely.

Mrs. Ye was initially a little upset when she heard that it cost 150 yuan per hour.

After all, the tutors she used to hire were priced at 80-100, but then she heard Shen Qingqing say that the trial lessons for the first three days would be calculated at 60% of the price, which was right within the price range of the tutors she used to hire, and she could see the results after three days.

Looking at Wu Fangyi, who had already helped her improve her grades significantly, and then at Shen Qingqing and Chen Jiaxin, who had just shown her their grades and rankings, Mrs. Ye gritted her teeth and decided to take the gamble!
"Okay! I'll do as you say, I'll choose the 60% for the first three days!"

Shen Qingqing's smile became genuine. "Okay, Auntie, do you have WeChat? Let's add each other on WeChat or exchange contact information so we can easily reach you if we need to communicate or make any adjustments later."

"Yes, yes, yes, we all use WeChat now. Should I scan your QR code or will you scan mine?" Mrs. Ye took out her phone.

"Let me scan your QR code!" Shen Qingqing opened the scan function and added her as a friend.

Mrs. Ye flipped her phone back over and saw the friend request in her contacts. She hesitated and read it aloud: "'Youqiantu' Education Studio...?"

As soon as Shen Qingqing put her phone away, she took out her business card from her bag and handed it over: "Yes, this is our business card. My phone number is on the back. We will contact you through this WeChat account for all tutoring-related issues concerning students. You can also contact us through this WeChat account if you have any questions."

See you tomorrow night~
