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

Chapter 193 That's not helping people, that's harming them.
The venue used for one-on-one tutoring for Chen Jiaxin and Chen Kangqi was actually found last year when Xunqing Studio wanted to move to a new address. However, after asking many old clients for their opinions, no one wanted to move, so in the end, they did not move. But the venue still had more than a year left on the lease, so Shen Qingqing simply took it and used it.

When Shen Qingqing learned that the venue was going to be vacant, she was already thinking about how to make use of it.

The space is twice the size of the original Xunqing Studio, but under Shen Qingqing's arrangement, it is only enough to create five small cubicles for one-on-one use. Because good lighting is required, the five cubicles are set up separately and in a staggered manner.

The small cubicle wasn't one of those bare, unused workrooms; instead, it featured a small bar counter, a tatami mat, and a built-in long desk. The bookshelves on the wall were filled with supplementary books for elementary to high school students.

However, Shen Qingqing doesn't just want to run a tutoring institution for the college entrance examination; that's just not part of her current plans.

Shen Qingqing was very satisfied with the results, so she simply rented the entire floor upstairs and created five small one-on-one cubicles in a different style.

The cubicle doors are glass doors, and blinds are used for privacy.

After Shen Qingqing showed Mrs. Ye and her son to Chen Jiaxin the small cubicle, Mrs. Ye signed the contract with great satisfaction. After the formal procedures were completed, Chen Kangqi's one-on-one tutoring began.

After listening to Chen Jiaxin's lesson for a while in the small cubicle, Mrs. Ye quietly withdrew.

Shen Qingqing was sitting outside, contacting the other three people and preparing to arrange a meeting with them.

After seeing Mrs. Ye come out, she silently turned off her phone and waited quietly for Mrs. Ye to come and find her.

"Little Shen." Mrs. Ye walked over and sat down opposite Shen Qingqing, called her name, and then fell silent.

Shen Qingqing smiled at her, but did not speak rashly.

However, the legal and finance departments were sitting not far away.

"Xiao Shen, could you please not take today's events to heart?" Mrs. Ye asked somewhat nervously, her hand gripping her bag so tightly it turned white.

Shen Qingqing understood. "Nothing happened today that I need to worry about."

Mrs. Ye's expression relaxed slightly, and she looked back at the tutoring room where Chen Kangqi was. "Xiao Shen, I'd like to ask, how much do you charge for tutoring?"

"Aunt Ye, the best tutor is the one who is suitable." Shen Qingqing blinked, avoiding the question.

Shen Qingqing didn't actually intend to get involved herself. She knew perfectly well that her patience was only for her own people, and that she could be incredibly sharp-tongued when she wanted to be, but she absolutely couldn't be rude to outsiders, especially clients. So no matter what price she said, it wouldn't be appropriate.

Even if the price is high, to put it bluntly, there are people who can afford it. So, will she accept or not?

She only steps in when there's absolutely no other way.

Therefore, Shen Qingqing did not intend to disclose her price.

Mrs. Ye was about to say something more when Shen Qingqing added, "It's clear that you hold a very important place in Kang Qi's heart. You are very gentle and love him dearly, but he has also witnessed some of the things you've suffered, so he feels more protective and submissive towards women like you."

"The process of imparting knowledge is not only about teachers accepting students, but more importantly, students accepting teachers. Otherwise, no matter how great or good a teacher is, they will not be able to teach."

"Ms. Chen's gentleness is similar to yours, which will make it easier for Kang Qi to accept her and be willing to listen to her and her classes. This way, when the knowledge points are taught to Kang Qi, he will be more likely to understand them."

Mrs. Ye was stunned; she had never heard such a statement before. Everyone was discussing which teacher was better, which tutor was more capable, but no one ever said that the tutor was unsuitable for the student, and no one considered things from the student's perspective.

At this moment, Mrs. Ye finally dispelled all her doubts and was completely at ease about Chen Kangqi's tutoring courses at "Youqiantu".

Everything she did was for Chen Kangqi, and now "Youqiantu" is also for Chen Kangqi, giving her a feeling that her years of dedication have finally been understood.

After being persuaded by Shen Qingqing, Mrs. Ye returned to the counseling room and quietly went to the small water bar to prepare drinks for Chen Jiaxin and Chen Kangqi.

After Mrs. Ye left, Shen Qingqing looked at her phone again and saw a reply from a young man who said he was free in the afternoon.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Qingqing decided to bring the legal team along, while the finance team would stay behind to oversee things.

The boy's name is Li Ziguang. He comes from a large family with three younger brothers and sisters, two younger sisters and one younger brother.

The younger brother, being the youngest and premature, also suffers from childhood asthma.

Both of Li Ziguang's parents are just ordinary factory workers, working shifts in the factory. When Li Ziguang was in school, his mother had to work the night shift and take care of the child at home during the day. When Li Ziguang was on vacation, his mother could work the day shift normally. They earned about four or five thousand yuan a month. Together, the couple earned about eight or ten thousand yuan. The child also had asthma and needed to go to the hospital for treatment frequently.

Therefore, Li Ziguang's family situation was not that good either.

Shen Qingqing arranged to meet someone at a small square in front of his house.

When he arrived, Li Ziguang was waiting in front of a piece of exercise equipment in the small square.

As soon as Shen Qingqing walked over, he saw her and walked towards her.

"Qingqing, what's up?" Li Ziguang didn't look very well; even with glasses on, he couldn't hide the dark bags under his eyes.

Seeing his state, Shen Qingqing, who had initially had some ideas, hesitated and simply asked, "Have you ever worked as a tutor before?"

Li Ziguang shook his head: "No, my parents go to work, and I have younger siblings at home who need to be taken care of. I usually take on some handicrafts that I can do at home to take care of my younger siblings."

Hearing him say that, Shen Qingqing understood. "Then it's nothing. I originally wanted to invite you to tutor with me, but given your situation, it's indeed a bit inconvenient."

Li Ziguang gave a wry smile. "I'm sorry, thank you for your kindness, but I really can't leave home."

Shen Qingqing nodded to indicate that she understood. Before she could suggest leaving, a little girl appeared at Li Ziguang's door and called out to him loudly.

Li Ziguang responded loudly in return, then turned back to look at Shen Qingqing, gave a weary smile, and said goodbye to her.

Shen Qingqing also bid farewell politely, without saying anything more.

She didn't presumptuously tell him that she was always willing to let him tutor her. She sympathized with him, but she couldn't leave him with a hook that would disrupt his already struggling life when he was already unable to extricate himself.

That's not helping people, that's harming them.
